The Adams Express Robbery.

The New York papers of Wednesday even
ing, give fullaccounts of the arrest of the rob-
bers, and the recovery of portions Of the mon
ey, but the latter are SO contradictory that it is
impossible to know what to believe. The Ev-
ening Post asserts that there was $67S, 900 in
the car, and says: "The whole amount o.
money found (including $4,000 in gold, in
stead of $4S,SS7 as was at first reported), is
$258,000 in currency value"
The Commercial Adeertiser says the whole
amount taken from the safes did not exceed
$55O,OOO. a. 1 5oe4
We have assurance from one of the leading
members of the company in Boston, that the
way bills showed on Sunday only s141, 900 in
all stolen, of which $751; 900 was in incomplete
government notes. which would be worthless
till the signatures were all put in. Another
gentleman says that outside of these notes, he
would be willing, for $75, 600, to make good ev-
cry cent taken. The New York evening pa
pers give accounts of large amounts recovered.
Up to this morning, we are informed, no
mention of money recovered has been made
in any Of the dispatches sent to the headquar-
tiers Office in Boston, except that Mr.. Sanford,
Superintendent of the line, telegrapbed last
evening that he had obtained the $4,000 in
worthless currency, and $4,000 in other
funds.
Another New York paper says:
The officers of the Express Company are
not aware of the precise amount stolen, but
suppose it to have been about 100000. We
understand that about 100000 of this amount
has been recovered by the arrest of these
three men. 1t is the general opinion of the
company that large number of thieves were
engaged, directly or indirectly, in the robbery,
and they are confident that the arrest of ali
of them, and the consequent recovery of the
entire amount stolen, is merely question Of
time.
The published detailed accounts of the ar
arrest of the parties confederate those given in
our telegraphic dispatches yesterday. A re-
port is given of the arrest of a receiver Of a
part of the stolen property in Division Street,
New York, but it needs confirmation. Bos-

Cleveland daily leader. [volume] ([Cleveland, Ohio]) 1865-1873, 1866-04-04

A new and very careful canvass has
been made to-day over the coming vote
in the Senate on the Civil Rights bill, and
the result indicates very clearly that it
will be passed over the Presidents veto.
The calculation made yesterday that
Senator Wright, of New Jersey, and SEN
ator Dixon, of Connecticut, would be pre-
sent, have been abandoned to day on per-
sonal inquiries as to their condition. The
physicians of both declare that it will be
utterly impossible for them to be present
next week. The vote will probably be
taken on Tuesday, and as it now looks, not
more than fourteen votes can be had in
favor of sustaining the veto, while seven
teen are required.

proportional, looks about sixty, has dark
gray hair, one or two locks of which over
hang his right temple,a wide forehead, large
features, broad face smooth shaver, q
mild eye and most benignant eountenance
He is a prominent member of the Baptist
church, and his looks and manner confirm
his character as a Christian gentleman.
He was born in 1902, graduated from
Union College, and practised law until
ls47, when he became Il judge of the Su-
preme Court. He had previously been a
State Representative and Senator, and
was an influential member of the Consti-
t%utional Convention of 1916. He had re-
tired from the Bench but two years when,
in 1861, he was chosen Mr.. Stewards sue
cessor in the Senate. Few men in the
country rank higher IN legal attachments
or sound int lect, and none surpass him
in excellent manners and integrity. He
IS a good speaker and parliamentarian, is
deliberate and d%ignifed, and ranks in the
Senate as the late lamented members from
Vermont formerly did. His political SEN
timents accord substantially with those of
Senator Foster.
By the side of Judge Trumbull is one OF
the finest looking men in Congress,
Timothy Otis Howe of Wisconsin. OF
avsrage size, hair p%rematurely gray, a
massive forehead, squiline nose and light
blue eye, be presents a striking intellectual
portrait In serene and philOsophic ex-
preston he resembles Mr.. Seward. He is
4 native of Name, nearly fifty years old,
is a lawyer by profession, and was former
ly Chief Justice of Wisconsin. He has
been a Senator since 1861, is a msn of
practical Judgment, a foreible debater, and

Heis the leader of his party at home, and

me Pre-1dc1t,s Proclamation.

Heaven save US from another President
so afflicted with incontinence oftongue and
pen rs is Andrew johnson He has just
issued g proclamation declaring the insur-
rection at an end in Georgia, South Caro-
lima North Carolina Virginia, Tennessee
Alabama, Louisiana Arkansas, Mississip-
ri and Florida-all the rebellious States
excepting Texas. The wisdom of issuing
such g proclamation at all at the present
time may well be doubted-concerning
the wisdom Of smbodying in it q stump
speech, in which all the state arguments
and the stock phrases Of oOpperhsadoratOr
are spread grAvely before the nation in the
form of Hwheresses," there can be no;doubt
whatever. Not content with incontinence
Of talk, or perhaps debarred therefrom by
the prudent failure of delegations tc call
upon him, the President turns his wordy
food into the channel of official docu-
ments, and launches his fAncied thunder
bolts OF logic into the radical camp in a
proclamation which hlls q column.
The argument on johnson, for such
1t in reality is, we may notice more at
length hereafter. We desire at present
only to call attention to one or two points
in its phrassology, which indicate more
clearly than its direct a~firmstions, tho
character Of the man. The President who
applies the title Of misguided citizens
TO rebels and traitors who have forfsited
all rights Of citizenship, shows a sympathy
with rebellion most astounding in a man
Of Andrew Jehnson's antecedents. The
reference to West Virginia as " the forty
eight counties of Virginia designated as
West Virginia" is more than a refusal to
recognise the legal existence of the State
Of West Virginia-it is a declaration in
effect that it is not q state. These are but
two salient points in this extraordinary
paper, which strike our attention on q
hRsty perusal. We shall comment on it
more closely hereafter.

Equal suRraFe in ohfo.

The proposed amendment to the State
Constitution, striking out the word
"white" from the clause regulating
the qualifications Of electors has been
postponed to the adjourned session,
and made the special order for the
first Tuesday in February 1866. The
-postponement was, we think, a wise one.
The Constitution provides that all amend
ments TO it. sfter having been proposed
BY the Legislature, must be submitted to
the people " at the nest election for mem
bsrs Of the General Assembly" Such an
election will not occur until October, 1857.
Therefore even If the amendment was
passed this session, it could NOT be voted
upon next fail. Its passage at present
therefore, could do no possible good, while
it might complicate and jeopsrdize other
and importssnt interests. And, too.
should 8 vote be taken now, there are
chances against its adoption BY the Legis-
lature which will diminish daily with the
inevitable advancement of public opinion
on the entire subject of equal suffrage.
We are, therefore encouraged rather than
disappointed BY the action of the Legis-
lature. Let our friends who are in favor
Of the equality Of sl men before the law
relax no effort on account of this delay.
Let them continue to inform and enlighten
the public to remove prejudice, and to
dihuse a Christian, humane and democratic
sentiment on this subject. If they do this
work faithfully during the next twelve
month, we shall have equal suffrage in
Ohio as soon as the slow course of the law
will allow.
