purity must be preserved. Our representative:
must be like the Roman wife, not only free from
guilt but above reproach. And there is no dif-
fculty in finding men that are 50.
Announcing his intention to vote for Hon. RO-
meo II. HOyt, Mr.. Royce proceeded to give
the highest testimony to his fitness as candidate
and worth as a man. He had known him from
boyhOod. His father was leading anti-slavery
man Of Franklin County As a young man.
following the lead Of John Smith, Mr. Hoyt
joined the democracy. lie belonged to the freescT
wing Of that party. When Brooks assaulted
Mr.. Sumner, he declared that he would belong
to no party that could not tolerate free speech,
and left :, forever. lie voted for Fremont lie
voted ic- Lincoln both times. lie Is known in
his own county anil has been repeatedly chosen
to ofice there, as true and hearty republican.
And whore he i known no honest man pretends
to doubt bis truth. honesty and political sound
ness.
Mr.. Royce wcl, ou 10 SHOW with what heartiness
and efficiency Alr. IIoyt had given and labored
to sustain the war, AMI to describe some Of the |
dirty means used by his enemies to convey the /
impression that he was a sympathizer with cop |
perheads. They were wholly without effort |
where he was known. True he was not finish
ell orator bu; he was qualified to represent
the District with more ability thaa the present
anil with f,ithfulness snd
honesty as true as steel.
Mr.. Royce closed hi, speech amid long
md hearty applause Confined as it was
90 the personal issue, it was an
Exceedingly interesting and elective speech.
Mr. Royce stands high with our citizens, AZ
! man Of souud Judgment, candor and truth,
md hI- word, must have carried great
Weigh; % any candid man

From the samples which the public have
been favored with thus far, the speech
ma king Of Precedent johnson on the way to
Chicago is to consist of rehashes Of what
hrs said time after time already. We should
think his claquers would get tired of hear
ins him 90 over, day after day. the account
of Offices be has held, from city Alderman
to President Of the United States, repeating
Herewith his scandalous accusations Of Con-
gress, implications that it is no Congress
his assertions that those who do rot follow
his lead are disuniOnists-;hst 10 power on
earth can make him swerye from the course
ne has marked out-his assumption that the
crowds which hang to his skiits and shout,
"bully lor you Andy''-'give it to the rad
icals, &C., fairly represent the entire body
of loyal American people.
As for Mr.. Seward. who seems to Oifeiate
as toady-genersl, on the tour, it he cen not
make better speech than be made at the
Delmonieo supper, he will do well to hold
lis peace altogether. A mass of feebler
drivel never fell from the lips Of public
man than his utteisnees On that occasion.

gone on without his valuable presence. On
Thursday Mr.. Baxter was at Hydepark look
ing for Col. Sawyer. Not finding him he
followed on his track and had an interview
with HIM at Waterbury. lie then came
here, but doubtless learning that legal no
tice to be present at the taking OF some le
gal evidence IN the Storrs case was in pre-
paration for him, he again slipped away on
Friday morning, going east. We believe

agents, for the purpose of paying the iabili-

between Prussia and Saxony progress very

oath of allegiance to herself, 10000, 600
thalers war indemnity, and the right to
govern the fortress of Koenigsburg, and
the cities of Dresden and Leipsic with Prus-
sian troops. A farewell banquet was given
on the 18th to the American embassy at st.

potentiaries of Austria and Italy have
agreed upon all the points but the amount
Of indemnity, which matter, it is expected,

they went. He started and ran, and the
pursuing party fired twenty eight shots at
him, which, according to the rules of arith-
metic, was four shots apiece, allowing that
each man had a shooter. The supposed
thief got tired of being fired at after the
twenty eighth round, and turned around
and fired on the pursuing party, who start

the pursuer, and chased the posse quite

The Philadelphia Telegraph describes q
tool captured in New York by detectives
Geo. H. Smith and Taggart, at the time that
the notorious Roberts and Mason were taken
into custody in that city:
This machine, the like of which was
never before seen in America, consists sim
ply of bar Of iron one inch in thickness,
three inches in width, and three or four feet
long. By means of wooden trestles placed
at either end and secured to the floor with
screws, this bar is held in place before the
safe. Midway in the length of the iron bar
there is a threaded hole through which the
drill is worked by means Of crank The
drill itself is very ingenious, and has all
the necessary appliances for keeping the
bit pressed hard against the safe door.
When the outer coating of the safe is once
perforated, the bit is replaced by o tap, by
which threads are formed around the aper-
ture. At this point the drill Is laid aside
and a threaded bolt inserted in It's place.
Blocks Of wood are then placed against the
trestles to prevent them from being drawn
in against the safe, and everything is ready
for the final operation. This is not as easily
understood as the preliminaries, but its re-
suit is the gradual forcing outward of the
exterior surface of the safe door. Taken
altogether, the whole operation is one of the
most ingenious ever devised. There are
probably not more than two or three safes
in the United States that could resist it sue
cessiully.
