Hold Robbery of a Hank.
At half-past four o'clock in the afternoon
of the 30th ult., the cashier and clerk of the
First National Bank of Independency. ItIo. ;
were sitting by the stove near the back door
of the batik building, conversing, having
just closed the front door and windows pre
nio-toey for idosior no for the .--
Suddenly the latch Orthia &mr must. and
two men entered side by*Pide, with pistols
in their bawls. One of thew said. as they
entered, in a low but very firm voice, "Not
word, men, or you will never see your fam
ilies again." The larger man of the two
held a pistol in each hand, nearly touching
the head of the two olliecri, while the other
proceeded to close the side windows and
pocket the cash. lie did this very deliber
ately, and after cleaning the vault, as he
thought, turned and ordered the officers to
enter the vault, which order they. of course
obeyed. The scoundrels then closed the
outer door of the vault and lett, locking the
back door of the building after them, taking
Loth the vault and door keys with them.—
The house and vault both being do* d. it
was some time before the prisoners could
make themselves heard. The clerk's wife,
who was up stairs in the batik building, be
coming impatient about Ler husband's delay
went to the back door two or three times.—
She at last prevailed on a gentleman to go
with her, and on reaching the door they
heard a noise inside, which proved to be the
two prisoners striking the door with a bank
seal that happened to be in the vault. The
alarm was then given, the door of the
building timed open, and the situation of
the cashier and clerk made known. The
cashier had a key at his residence belong
ing W the vault, which was quickly brought
and the door opened, to the great relief of
the pent-up prisoners, who
: was suffering
greatly from suffocation. The loss of the
bank is about !Jl,oooaudwithprivatefunds
and special deposit 4, it is supposed that the
robbers got about 17,000 altogether, about
$2,0u0 of which was in gold.
Attempt to Break lato a Hank.
One night last week an attempt was made
by some scoundrels to break into the
Phil
hpsburg National Bank. Three of rho iron
bars at the cellar window were wrenched
off through which they effected an entrance
into the cellar. They then undertook to
undermine the I;mndation of the safe, and
lhiling in this they attempted to get up
through the hatchway, by boring out apiece
of the door, but Whilst at this they must
have been disturbed tin they absquatulated
leaving most of their tools behind. Eas

CUR/it:NCI' BILL.
The morning hour haying expired, the
especial order being the bill to prevent fur.
ther contraction of the currency came up.
Mr. Edmunds, of New York, moved to
amend by adding at the end of the bill the
following:
Provided, That nothing contained iu this
act, or any other act of Congress. shall au
thorize un increase of United States notes or
other lawful uioney beyond the amount
thereof now outstanding.
Mr. Sherman said the amendment was
unnecessary, us the volume of currency.
could not be increased but for a particular
purpose, for the reserve authorized to meet
temporary liabilities.
Mr. Edmonds, of Vermont, said the
amendment was offered for the purpose of
ascertaining whether the Flamm Commit
tee contemplated a fltrther increase of the
dishonored paper of the government. The
inference apparently intended to be left in
the mind oldie Senate was that the policy
of the bill was only to suspend the reduction
of' the volume of currency.
Mr. Sherman argued that there was no
law authorizing the Secretary of the Treas.
ury to issue a dollar of legal tender notes ;
except as he had stated.

Mr. Sumner said it seems important that

its validity. He hoped Congress would de
clare so without delay, and that it was their
duty rather than that of any ether branch
of the government. It has been the custom
heretolbre fiir the Secretary of State to cer
tify the ratification. In hits opinion it came
properly within the cognisance or Congress.
no pint resolution was referred to the
Committee on the Judiciary.
Mr. Doolittle. of Wisconsin, gave notice
that when Mr. Morton's resolution to invali
date the existing governments of the South
was again called up, lie would move to
amencl'hy instructing the Committee on the
•Judiciary, in any bill for reconstruction re
ported by them, to insert a proviso that in
any election of' officers, or for the ratification
of the Constitution, persons voting must be
possessed of one of three qualifications :
First. To have served in the army one
year or more.
Second. Sufficient education to read the
Constitution of the United States and sub-
scribe his name.
Third. To be possessed of freehold prop
ertv to the amount of ff2so.
The proposed an►endu►ent, which is sub
stantially the resolution heretofore offered
by him, was ordered to be printed.
Mr. Barnes, of the House addressed the
Committee at length on the question of the
national finances.
Mr. Kerr next addressed the Committee,
and proceeded to discuss the principle* in
volved in the question of American citizen
ship, which was now justly agitating the
public mind.
