The N. Y. Evening Post is swerved
from its intense devotion to President
Johnson's works and ways by his
speech of the 22d. 1t says
"For the shocking and unseemly
imputation Mr.. Johnson chose to bring
against Mcssrs. Stevens, Sumner and
others opposed to his policy, that
their intention was to incite assassi-
nation we trust that he will make
haste to apologize, not merely to them,
but to the country, which he has most
grievously insulted. Such words as
he uttered on that head would not be
tolerated in the hastiest stump speech.
They are too ill.judged and impulsive
for lis to think or write patiently about
them and we count it no slight mis-
fortune for the nation that its chief
magistrate should have spoken in this
style"

TEE FREsHwATER BOND ROBERY.-We
mentioned on Saturday the arrest, a few
days be fore, of Frank Roll, OF GAINESVILLE,
by Officer De Witt, OF this city, This ar
rest was only the preparatory move toward
making another, the important one in the
case. Last April $3.50 in u. S. Seven
Thirty bonds was stolen from the house of
Mr.. Christopher E'reShWater, of Delaware.
Mrs. Mary Ulrich, a sister in law of this
Roll, was living at the house of Mrs. Fresh
water in Delaware doing the kitchen work
of the family at the time the robbery was
committed, and IN some way or another,
suspicion was aroused abOut the family IN
connection with the robbery. Due watch
was kept on the premises by the police, and
sometime thereafter some ashes were
thrown out from the kitchen Of the resi-
dence of the Freshwaters, and among these
ashes a small lock was discovered by the
police, the identical lock of the small trunk
stolen which contained the bonds. Soon
after this woman went to GAINESVILLE, and
then went to Louisville, kentucky, where
she, in connection with another woman,
opened a millinery store on pretty large
scale.
1t is said that neither of the women had
a sufficiency of money to do so, and this
was, therefore, considered a suspicious cir
cumstance, and only confirmed previous
suspicious, and it was finally determined to
arrest Roll as being implicated by secreting
the property.
After visits to Cincinnati, Frankfort and
other places, Mr.. Dewitt discovered Mrs.
Ulrich at Louisville, employed as above
stated She was arrested and taken to
Delaware, where she had an examination
on Saturday. She pleaded guilty to the
charge of stealing the bonds, made an as
signment OF all her stock to Mr.. Freshwa-
ter. the party robbed, and threw herself
upon the mercy of the Court. She was, in
default of $1,000 bail, committed to jail
Mrs. Ulrich is the mother Ofseven children,
dependent upon her for support, and in
spite of her crime, much SYM pathy is ex-
cited in her behalf. Mr.. Dewitt has shown
much skill in working up the case, and
deserves much credit.-OhjO State Journal.
