ARREST OF GEN HISToS-RonBISG IBH MAIL
All Cleveland was thrown into commotion on
Wednesday last, by the arrest Of Gen. o. Hinton
on a charge Of roJing the mail Of some seventeen
thousand dollar.--Our readers will recollect him
in connection with the Ohio Stage Company
Several large packages OF money have been alb.
stracted from the mall- during a few months past
and as Hinton was in the habit Of travelling to
and for in the stages Iroiessedly on the Com
pany', business and several Of those robberics had
occurred while he was on board. suspicion was
excited, and Deputy +. NJ Haskell and Govern.
ment Constable Mckinstry, set about ferreting
ont the rogue.
The word was"passcd along the line" and decoy
packages with money marked, were put into the
mail on purpose to BE- stolen out. Whenever it
was known that the General was about to travel.
he was sure to be accompanied with one Of those
packages in the mail. II tpassed on to It's dcs-
tlnation unmolested, its wrapper was changed
and sent in another direction.
At last, Hinton was detected, and large guam
titles Of the marked money contained in these
packages, found on his person. He was examin.
ed and bound over under a ten thousand dollar
bond
Being unable to obtainbail, il was only through
the kindness of friends that hc was spared taking
lodgings in the jail, and permitted, under the sur
reliance of a guard, to occupy u room IN the

STA @ Treasurer

The Democratic State Central Committee have
recommended the Hon JONI MOORE, Of Mclean
county, 70 the support Of the Democracy OF this
state for the office Of state Treasurer The rec
ommendation is one that will meet with general
appreciation IN this region, ard We have no doubt
that old wheerisht'will be heartily supported BY
the Democracy Of northern Illinois. Indeed there
is DO man in the state who would be more cordial.
ly supported here for almost any office, but for
little political sin which Mr.. Moore committed here
two years ago, in the business Of bringing out
Judge Thomas for Congress against the regular
Democratic nominee. But as no harm was done,
let bygones be by cones.
The State Register thus announces the action
Of the Democratic Central Committee.
STATE TREAsuRrn-The democratic state com
mittce have unanimously concluded that Il state
convention, for the purpose Of nominating can.
dldate for state treasurer, Is mpractlable. They
have however, solicited Hon. JONI NooEE, the
present treasurer, to iorego his previous intention
OF not being a candidate who, we are pleased TO
learn, has complied with the committees request
We will publish the correspondence tomorrow,

We that the committees action may meet
with the approval Of the democracy Of the state,
They have acted in accordance with what they be.
lIeyed TO be the wishes Of the mass Of the party
Certainly they have, in their action in the premis.
es been governed by desire to promote the we'll
fare and success Of the party.
1t is Unnecessary for Us to pass an enlogium up
on the gentleman they recommend as Il candidate
The name of JouN MooRE carries its own recon-.

state rs n man Of ability and sterling integrity,
who has fulfilled the many trusts heretofore con.
fided to him by the people, promptly, efficiently,
and ever with IN eye single to the interests Of lis
constituents.
We learn that Col. Barrett, Of this county,
whose name has been presented by his friends
will declmc being n candidate, inasmuch rs Mr.
Moore has acceded to the request Of the state com
mittee, Wetrust that Col. Sloo, of Shawneetown,
who has also been named by his friends as can

committees action.

stole the horse of Mr. Chas G.. Miller, near Dayton,
has been taken, AMI is at this time undergoing his

rain of Friday and Saturday, without stopping Ell
Their to sleep or rest by Ar. Miller himself and by
Mr.. Sheriff Yates, of Kane comfy until they final
" cornered and took him. His name is Luther

one of the men that committed the robbery in his

yious to the robbery been working for Alr. Groves
md his voice WAS recognized by the latter at the
time of the robbery, although he ATTEMPTED to

The late storms have made sad work on the
canal. Last week We chroniced the big breach
at Morris taking away, besides We know not how
many rods of the ombankment, awholo aqueduct,
requiring two or three weeks to reconstruct it,
This week we have to chronicle another breach
between the summit and the Sag by which an
other or 800 rods of enbankment have been
washed into the canal. At this rate the repairs
on the canal must eat up all the revenue, to say
nothing Of the loss to business men of every class
on account OF the obstruction Of navigation. We
understand 1t will take at least . week or two be.
fore navigation can b. resumed.
