SUPPOSED ROBBERY OF VIRGINIA BONDS
AND BANK Notes.-The firm Of McCleish,
Rives & Co., Of Exchange Place, suffered
a heavy loss in bonds and deprecated bank
notes on Saturday last. 1t appears that it
has been the custom of the firm to send,
about 8 o'clock in the afternoon, a tin box
to the Franklin Bank, containing their
valuables, but the officers of the bank
have no knowledge that it was left there
On Saturday, and it was not until Tuesday
morning that the cashier Of the bank was
appraised Of the loss. The box was not
placed in the vault, but with others of the
same character was usually placed be-
tween the doors of the vault, and taken
away every day by the owners. The
officers Of the bank alleged that it was not
returned after it was taken ont on Friday.
The bonds lost consist of Richmond and
York River Railroad Company, the Ma
nassas Gap Railroad Company, the South
side Railroad Company, and another un-
known. The bank notes were of the issues
Of sixteen different banks in the State Of
Virginia, and Of the corporations of Rich
mond, Alexandria, and Petersburg, one
bank in North Carolina, five in South
| Carolina, and two in Georgia. The whole
value of the property lost will not exceed
$1,000, as on Saturday $1,000 of the notes
were sold to q broker for 1874. They will
be Of little or no value to the party who
may have possession Of them, as many OF
the bank notes are entirely worthless, and
the bonds will be cancelled by the compa-
MES issuing them, and new ones issued in
stead. The bank is not deemed res, nsi-
bic, as such boxes are taken merely as an
accommodation to their customers.-BaL-
tinlore Sun, 9TH.

settled that General Grant is to vacate the
office of Secretary Of War I'D interim

much uncertainty among the quidnuncs as
to who his successor is to be. But there
is one report which appears to be based on
better authority than mere idle specula-
ton, to the effect General Mcclellan has
been sent for, and will take the position

backs.
From The Cincinnati ENQUIRER.

THE SECOND CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT.
The prospect is very promising for a
free fight in the second congressional dis
trict between Richard Smith and General
Cary. The General, we arc told, is to
make a contest, and, in our opinion, can
beat Smith handsomely. The General
takes strong ground in favor Of paying the
Government debt in g~reenbacks. He is
also in favor Of the eight hour system,
which our mechanics and laboring men
strongly favor. The Democracy, we hope,
will make no nomination. but leave tho
contest entirely between these late Repub-
lican contestants. AS the district has been
largely against US in the past, We car see
nothing which should induce our friends
to bring out a candidate in the present
aspect of affairs. All the prominent De-
mocrats spoken Of in the district have de-
clined to make the race.
