Tbe Democratic State Convention
of .Minnesota, last week, among other
resolutions ad pted one favoring bard
money and a revenue tariff only.
It is cbarged-and legal process will
test the soundness of tie charge-
against Mr. Avery, chief clerk of the
Treasury Department at Washington, ;
thathebas from time to time, on a
'
month! v wlary of one to three hundred
dollars, kept tbe whiskey ring in tbe
West iuformed of every movement of
the Government to break np unlawful
distillation.
The investigation that was set on
foot by tbe late Legislature into tbe
manage ment of the State Treasury, Gnd
that departmeut all right. Now what
will the Democracy do T Tbe cuuiuiit
tce find nothing wrung, and tLereby the
charges that have been st-ut abroad
agaiust that department, and on wbicb
the Democratic party counted so much
for political eapital to fool people with,
amount to nothing. The clamor against
the State Treasury by the Democracy
b-aS furnished the Democracy with ma
terial for a number of cauipaigus. They
.will have to invent noinetbiug new now.
It is folly for people outside of New J
Vrrk to condemn Hcecber when those'
who know him best, people who have j Some days ago the houses of An
known bim for a qiarter of a cenre Showers and Levi Sheets, at
tury, express the utmost confidence j Sbaafferstown, liebauon county, were
ia him. As ac evidence of their be-'tr by lightning, and the latter en-
lief in bis entire innocence of al! tbe
charges, and as an evideuce of their
confidence in bim as a preacher, a meet
ing was held of four-fifths of the pew
holders ot Pljmoeib Churfti. oh the
evening of tbe 7th inst., to raise his
salary from $ JO ,000 to j 100,000 for
the ensuing year. The one buudred
thousand dollsrs was voted to bim with
out a dissenting voice, and this shows
how Mr. Beecber stands amoBg hhown
people.
At the Centennial celebration of the
battle of Bunker Hill, Oeneral Sher
man in a speech, said in substance
that tbe loyal people forgave those
who bad forgotten tbe allegiance
due to their countiy, but they did
uot wish them to forget it again.
Southern men cid not like the General's
remarks, and since tben he bas been
informed through Southern papers that
he should wot forget that by the Beit
election there will be more Congress
men at Washington who favored seces
xion than Congressmen who favored tbe
union of tbe States, which, when inter
preted, means that if the General does
not qui . talking in that way tbey will
abolish tbe office, by Congressional en-1
aclojcnt. tbat he fills.
A m'jibf.r of Democratic journasl
are denouncing Republican papers for
writing sgainst tbe proposal to set
apart a portion of the common school
fuud to the use of the Catholic cbnrck.
Tbey charge it on tbe Kepnblicans that
they are against the Catbolios. It is
not true that the Republican party is
against the Catholic faith, or any other
religious faith, bat when the Catholio

tbe Catholic people are to bave a dice
ot the school fund for tbe purpose of

nominations may ciaita a portion, and
so tbe fund would be divided and tbe

Last week tbe committee of the New
York Aseiub!y, charged with tbe inves
tigation of the cause of the increase of
crime in New fork,' on Wednesday ex
amined William A. Martinet, who was
on tbe police force eight years and a
ward detective four yeara. He testi
fied that while be was a detective in
tbe twenty-ninth precinct tbe keepers
of panel houses paid to Capt. Burden
$75 a week aud fifty per cent, of the
amount named by complainants. - Tbe
gamblers and keepera of houses of pros
titution used to pay for police protec
tion. He believei that this practise
still exisUd. lie was sure that no
gambling or panel houses could exist
in any precinct without the knowledge
of tbe Captain. Thieves and pick
pockets were well known to most Of tbe
detectives. There was little encour
agement to detectives to arrest thieves.
They might take a wan to tbe central
office and swear that they that he was a
thief, but tbey would probably meet tbe
man in the street tbe next day. . In
reply to the committee's question aa to
the recovery of stolen property,' Mr.
Martinet said that much of it was re
covered through collusion between the
thieves and detectives. When a public
man's property was stolen tbe pick
pockets were warned that unless it waa
returned tbey would all be "run in."

sa
ricaded tbe doors and kept tbe robbers
at bay until help arrived. A more re
cent despatch gives details of the at
tempted robbery and tie murder as!
follows : Long Point, III., oa the Vsn
dalia railroad, where tbe attempted ex
press robbery occurred, is situated io
tbe middle of a dense woods, no per
son living within a mile and a half of
tbe station. At midnight, on tbe 9th,
when passenger train No. 5, bonnd east.
eooductor Fraley and engineer Mi!o
Ames in charge, stopped at tbe water
tank, two men boarded tbe engine, one
from eaoh aide, and ordered tbe engi
neer to start the engine. Tbe engiueer,
after a few minutes' hesitation, obeyed
tbe order. After tbe starting of the
train one of the robbers remarked,
"We will run tbe thing ourselves," aod
immediately both robbers fired at tbe
engineer, killing him instantly. Tbe
fireman, who was standing upon the
tender, ran to tbe rear of tbe train to
alarm tbe trainmen, he having beard
the conversation, and comprehending
tbe situation at once. While this was
taking place on the engine a confeder
ate of tbe robbers bad detached the
Adams Expresa car from tbe ears in
the rear. The whale party of robbers
tben ran tbe train to a point about two
miles from tbe station, where they stop
ped, and proceeded to the door of tbe
express car, demanded admittance.
The express messenger. Sir. Burke.
told them that be waa ready for them,
and tbat rf they entered they would be
dead men. Tbe robbers then com
menced ffrfng hi to the car, and the mes
senger says it seemed to him there was
a docen of tbem, as tbe shots eame from
all sides. The conductor and trainmen,
seeing the position of affairs, set about
to pursue tbe robbers,- but could only
find one revolver etf (be train. They,
however, discovered two soldiers armed
witb carbines, and with these weapons
the trainmen and soldiers started after
the robbers. Whet f&ey eame up to I
tbe tram all was quiet, tbe robbers
having fled. Tbey found tbe dead body
of the engineer on the floor of tbe cab.

engine back to the train aod" brought it
io. . Tbe robbers failed to gain an en
trance to the express ear, it being one
of tbe close kind, baviog no windows,
and very strong in every way. Had
tbey detached the American Express
ear, wbicb was immediately in rear of
tbe Adams Express, they might have
accomplished tbeir purpose, as it is an
open car, baviog windows aid doors
and not very strong. Tbe finding of a
hammer used to knock out the coupling
pin may serve possibly as a clue to the
murderers. Tbe trainmen speak in very
high terms of the plnck and eounge
displayed by Express Messenger Burke
There is intense feeling among railroad
men over tbe tragical death of Engi
neer Ames, and should bis murderers
be canght it is vety generally believed
tbat their prosecution would sot cost
tbe State anything Several suspect
ed persons are already in custody, and
there is reason to bope tbst all the rob
bers will be caught. The railroad com
pany offer $1000 reward for tbeir ap
prehension. General Francis P. Blair expired
