Deputy Assessor Orlando McCraney in

is one Of our most thorough business men
and we think the rank and file can't pro-
duce one better fitted for the position and
for aught we know it will dove-tail nicely
with his high station in the Good Templar
order, especially if to inspect is to taste
our only method-as in the case of the
inspection of large lots the only effect will
be to throw his ideas into "Vortex" of
confusion. The compliments paid MAC.

ATTEMPTED ROBBERY OF A BANK-POLICEDIA



SHOT. 2
Boston, Dec. 23-At about half past o.
clock this morning, officers Burnham and
Scates, standing in Washington square in Ha-
verhill, perceived that Chas. H. Stanton's paint
shop in Fleet street was on fire. They imme-
diately ran down Merrimack street in the d.
rection of the flames and when just opposite
the Merrimack National Bank, they heard
repo. of powder and saw fash within the
building. The hank room is situated on the
first floor of Kittredge block, and runs through
from front to back. BY agreement Scates
stopped in front of the building while Burn
ham went behind to investigate the cause of
the explosion. In few seconds Scates heard
nm exclaim, Hold still, have caught you at
] last, and then there was the report of a pistol
and confused trampling of teet. He ran to
the scene and found Burnham lying dead with
pistol shot in one of his ten Piles. A ladder
extended from the ground to "a back window
of the bank, and on entering the room he
found that an abortive attempt had been made
to open the vault by blowing up the lock of
the outer door. 1t had been started about hall
an inch. The fire in the paint shop is sup.
posed to have been set by the burglars since
their ladder came from there for the purpose
of diyerting attention from their operations
1t produced, however, just the opposite effect
and was soon extinguished, with a very slight
loss. Mr. Joseph Burnham was well known
citizen of Haverhill, and much respected. He
was about forty years of age, and left a wife
and family. The residents of the town are
greatly excited by the event.

% NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 23-In the Constitu-

was offered by Mr.. Bonsegur, colored, direct
ing the first Legislature convened after the
adoption of the Constitution to ascertain the
entire indebtedness of the State, and to issue
bonds therefor at 6 per cent, not to run over
forty years, and that a tax of two mills on a
dollar be annually levied for the redemption of
the same. The consideration of the resolution
was postponed. $500 .--.l.-
In the afternoon, Mr.. Cody read a certifi-
cate of the State Treasurer. to the effect that
no funds had been deposited to the credit of
the Convention, and he therefore moved sus-
pension of the rules for the adoption of the
resolution repeating the bond ordinance. The
motion to suspend was lost
The balance of the session until adjourn
ment was passed in the discussion of the bond
question, in the course of which a colored
member said that when he reflected upon the
bond scheme he felt ashamed. He felt assured
that the issue of 100000 in bonds at eight per
cent, for which the State would receive but
$195,O00, was an infamous swindle. The Con-
yention adjourned until Tomorrow
