As We stated yesterday, Mr.. A. d. Lamson,
one OF the Directors Of the Maiden Bank, took
the initiative In the detection and arrest OF
Green for the murder Of young Converse. In
order to obtain evidence against Green, a Sc
cret circle, consisting Of Mr.. Lamson, and
Messrs. G. Waite and G. d. Blanchard, Direc-
tors Of the Bank, J. H. Abbott, constable, G.
II. Sprague, G. ii. Anderson and Hubbard
Russell, was formed, and meetings were held
several times week, the first meeting being
held on the Sth Of January.
All the information received was communi-
Gated to this secret conclave. About week
after the circle was formed, Mr.. NJ. 8. Shed
came to Mr.. Lamson, In some distress Of mind,
and confdentially informed him that he sus-
pected Green to be guilty Of the murder. Mr..
Lamson then informed him of the existence and
objects Of the circle, and made him a member
of 1t. From that time Mr.. Shed assisted Mr.
Lamson by accompanying the suspected mur-
derer on his visits TO Boston, and obtaining
whatever information he could.
Nolonger ago than Saturday last Green came
| into Boston, accompanied by Shed, and pur-
chased a $50 mirror. On their way home Green
called al a furniture establishment in Charles
town and selected $27l worth of carpets, fur.
nlture, etc. At one of the stores an inquiry
was made OF him whether any fuEther arrests
Green did not answer, and Mr.. Shed purposcly
made an Indifferent reply.
They returned home through Someryille,
where some person made a similar inquiry,
and Green said he believed they were after
somebody, adding, "The next thing you hear,
Green, the Postmaster will be shot through the
| crates"
The only time that he is known To have COM
menced conversation about the murder was
on Tuesday last, while he and Shed were riding
| together.
Green spoke about the murder, and asked
Shed If he thought Mr.. -, naming a man
who had been suspected, was guilty. The re-
ply of Mr.. Shed was, "No, ! do not believe
that he is more guilty than you are" Mr.. Shed
says the manner Of Mr.. Green was very much
embarrassed
Green stated in his confession to Mr.. Lamson
that he visited the bank three times on the
morning Of the murder. The first time, at
about half past 10 O'Clock, he was In the act of
drawing the pistol TO shoot Converse, when the
conductor entered with the skates. At II
O'Clock, on the occasion Of the second visit, he
had got into the directors room and was again
about to draw his pistol, when Mr. Stone en-
tered. The third visit was at half past II when
lie committed the murder.-Boston Herald.

In the Senate yesterday Mr.. Foot called up
the bill relating to the Office Of Commissioner
of Public Buildings. The bill places the work
on the Capitol, the dome, and Patent Once
building, and all appropriations for public
buildings and grounds in the city, ezcept Mos,
cOnnsttd ioith las Treasury extension, under the
control of the Commissioner of Public Build,
ings, who is to give bonds in the sum of ffty
thousand dollars. He is also to disburse the
pay Of the Capitol police, transmit estimates
annually to the Secretary Of the Treasury, and
his annual report to the President.
Mr.. Foot explained that up to the year 1861
the construction of these buildings has been
under the supervision OF the War Department
simply by order of the President, with n mill.
tary engineer in charge, but in 1862 they were
transferred, by a resolution introduced in Con.
gress by himself, to the supervision of the In.
terror Department.
The work being then resumed, Mr.. Walter
was reappointed architect under the Commits
sioner Of Public Works, made disbursing agent
without any additional compensation, until
Congress subsequently, at the suggestion OF
the Secretary of the Interior, appropriated $500
for him. All plans and contracts had already
been made. There were oyerseers in each O.
the departments OF work, and therefore NJ
need for a general superintendent. But sine,
the present Secretary OF the Interior had com
into Office, he was appointed at a salary o
$4,000, with an additional one of $500 for Bu
perintending the aqueduct.
The Secretary was Influenced with a desire Il
facilitate the work and promote economy, h,
had no doubt, and he did not see the nccesslt,
of such an officer. He regarded II a Elnecurc
for there was nothing TO do but which could h
done by the officers he had mentioned.
The present appointee was but an agent 70
the Secretary Of the Interior, appointed by him
and was paid out of the funds appropriated 70
the department, at such salary as he chose +
prescribe. He thought it better that the super
vision and disbursements of such large sums a
appropriated for these purposes should only b
in the hands OF an officer whose appointment
was made by the advice of the Senate.

stOPpsge OF . Railway TraIn-Robbery
ofthe Passengers.
The rumor that prevailed in the city yester-
day OF the train on the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad having been robbed by guerillns turns
out TO be well founded.
The train which left Baltimore at @ o'clock
on Thursday evening reached Harpers Ferry
abrut IL O'Clock, and moved on towards
Martlnsburg, having on board a goodly
number OF passengers bound West.
When at Kearnsvllle, about nine miles be-
yond Harper's Ferry and ten miles this side OF
Martinsburg, the train encountered q pile Of
rails on the track, and the locomotive was
thrown OH, but going at slow speed, no
damage was done.
armed rebels, about forty In number sur
rounded It and took possession of the passen-
ger cars.
They then went around and searched and
robbed each passenger, commanding each to
"stand and deliver" their watches, pocket
books and other valuables.
The work is said to have been done most thor
oughly, with all the grace aud sang .troid OF cx-
perienced highwaymen. Even their pocket
knives and tooth-picks did not escape the plum
derers.
Those who did the robbing were accompanied
by pistol holders, who thrust the muzzles under
the noses Of their victims whilst they were
being plundered.
The did not touch the baggage train or

The Santiago CaIamity-AlmoEt n RepetI-
Iton Of the Diaaater

The number oflves lost on the occasion was
more than first mentioned. The superintendent
of the cemetery reports having buried two
thousand one hundred and ten bodies. This
does not include those who have since died of
their injuries and the charred masses that
could not be distinguished. 1t is safe to say
that not less than two thousand five hundred
persons perished in that conaagratlon. A list
OF two thousand and thirty names is published
that are known TO have perished. Others will
be discovered from time to time, and MANY
will remain unknown.
Notwithstanding the warning given by this

On the 3lst of December, while services were
being performed In the church OF Ban Isidro,
some artificial flowers became ignited from
one of the candles on the altar. or course,
when the fire was discovered, an immediate
rush for the door took place. Women, scream
ing and faintlng, fell in every direction, the
doors becoming choked, and exit was almost
impossible. Providentially the fire was at
once extinguished, or we should have had a
repetition Of the 9Th of December. The con-
fusion was so great that tho church was at
once closed and the remainder Of the services
depensed with. AS in the first instance, nearly

The JeH Davis Government Denounced
In North Carolina.

NEw YORK, Feb. 12.-The Raleigh Progress
says that the present Congress is bent on fast
ening a military depotism on the people of
these Confederate States, and the people must
either submit quietly to receive the yoke or re
sist tyranny. Resistance to tyrants is obedience
to God, and the people of North Carolina will
not hesitate as to the course they should pur-
sue. North Carolina cannot and will not sub
nit TO have every able.bodied man conscrpted,
and the whole State turned into military camp.
We want to achieve independence over the
common enemy, but we arc not willing to be-
come the yassals of usurpers at home to achieve
that or any other object. We speak words of
truth and solemness, because we know the SEN
tlments of the great mass Of people In North
Carolina. This State will never willingly sub
NIT to despotism with Jefferson Davis, or any
one else, at its head.
The Salem IN. c. Press says the time is not
far distant when all will agree that this war
must be brought to close by other means than
the sword.
