Arrest OF the ~ obbers and Recovery
OF a Large Proportion OF the Treaa
urc.

On the 18th of March last, as many of
our readers will remember, the County
Treasarer's Office Of Buchanan Co, Iowa,
located in the village of Independence,
was robbed of S2j. 900. A reward OF
ST 500 was uff-red for the arrest or the
robbers, aud similar amount for the re
covery Of the treasure.
Very soon after the robbery, Captain
b. e. Yates. of Chicago, an experienced
detective, WAS employed to pursue the
matter. From that time until the present
be has been engaged upon it, working
with ceaseless vigilance, travelling hun
deeds of miles. aud assuming all sorts Of
DISCUSSES. He has been plough boy, wood
sawyer. hatboatman, log rafter and Usher
man, following one OF the suspected par
ties in skin over one hundred and City
miles.
Having obtained satisfactory clue,
Captain Yates never for q moment lost
sight or scent OF the game, until satisfied
that they were quietly settled down for a
period. The diff culties were greatly in
creased by the fact that the three robbers
pursued widely different routes after the
robbery. This may be seen when it is
stated that G. A. Rorsbacher was arrest.

THE GATE CITY.

FRIDAY, JULY 80.

We have in the North class Of poll
ticians calling themselves I" Democrats, =
who are asking the people to place them
in power, 10 order that they may adjust
our national difficulties on their plan. 10
order that their idea of what kind Of "a

it agrees viii the views which govern the
rebels in arms against the Dation's life.
we give below. side BY side, the declare
tion of Hon. Alex. Long, .Democratic',
Congressman from Cincinnati, in speech
to his constituents on his recent return
home, and an extract from tho re-
cent manifesto of the rebel Congress, to-
wit:

The Columbus Crisis, edited by Sam
Medary, most Of the time for twenty wears
leading editor of his party in the State,
declares that three-four,hs of the Ohio DEL
egates to the Chicago Convention endorse

insist upon the nomination of candidates
pledged TO carry them out The recent
so-called Democratic Convention for the
Teuth Congressional District, adopted
resolutions 10 accordance with the same
and appointed delegates who will without
doubt carry them out.
We will not stop here to show that these |
Ohio "Democra,ic" doctrines fully and |
completely justify and sustain the rebel |
lion, and forbid any steps towards its for
chile suppression. Tie rebels themselves
could ask for no better defence. The
questioo for the real Democrats of Ohio |

Too Long by IIalI.

The following is from the New York 0b.
sereer, a religious paper OF extended eirculs-
tion and influence
Last 5 ibbath day we attended church where
the service previous TO the sermon was pro-
tracted that the preacher announeed his text
At five minutes after twelve at noon, being one
hour and thirly.6ve minutes from the begin
ming Of the service As this was the ordinary
Sabbath, ii was TO our weak flesh, however
willing the spirit might be, too long by half
The worship aud the sermon would both have
been more profitable and pleasant had the
service been more brief
On Sa lbath evening we attended arelgions
anniversary, and the secretary bhished pre-
sentng his report forty five minutes after the
meeting began erowding the speakers into
the balance OF the Time late in the evening
with a wearied audience before them
On week day evening following we aiten-
ded II sacred concert 10 which we we're kindly
invited, to hear a celebrated orAiorio. The
concert began ht eight o'clock We sat uAiil
twenty minutes Of ten, and the grand enter
lainment OF the evening had not Yet been
reached We left, being WeRried, but we pre-
sumo It was given 10 tho course Of tho night.
The next day we attended funeral 10 this
city The exercises we're impressive, but tho
address, which would have been excellent for
lweniY or thirty minutes, was stretched out TO
hity-hve minutes, greatly TO the WEAKNESS Of
the people, ana far beyond their ediGcahon.
There Is reason In all things. As we ought
not TO allow our good 10 be evil spoken Of, 80
we ought to be careful not to ovefdo our good
and make an evil ofit We have great respect
for man who said II he never did great
thing, be was sure he never did long one.
