Robbery OF the ocean National Bank.


Robbery OF the Ocean National Bank.
NEW YORK, June rs.
On the 18th instant, a man named
Lewis X. Cole, representing himself as
agent OF the Chicago Life Insurance
Company, rented a portion OF an ONCE
in the basement of the Ocean National
Bank, the only piece OF furniture he
nut in besides desk was a large high
case, Yesterday noon the Janttor OF
the Bank found everything safe, since
which time hole was cut through
from the basement 10 Il back office OF
the bank by burglars, who with large
quantity of fine tools which they have
left behind them, forced and blew open
several safes, emptying them OF their
contents. Everything WAS found in
confusion this morning. The bank Of
ficials state that only about $40, 600 in
government bonds belonging TO the
bank have been stolen. the thieves
leaving a bag containing $50, 900 IN goio
on one OF the safe8, and over 2OOOO IN
gold certificates, and Clearing House
Exchanges for $4,000 untouched. The
securities deposited in the bank by GUS
toners, and about 10000 worth OF
checks were carried off. No clue to the
burglars.
The amount of the private deposits
stolen from the Ocean National Bank
is stated by the bank authorities not TO
exceed quarter of million dollars.
The bank is not responsible for these
losses, which are mainly If not all
bonds. A reward OF 81, 600 is offered for
the return of those taken belonging to
the bank itself, being twenty tlve-twen'
ties of 1867, one thousand each, and five
fiye.twenties of 1862, five hundred dol
lars each. The affair is In the hands of
detectives.
There is little additional Information
as to the frustrated Cuban expedition.
The men who were to have gone on the
Catherine whiting are probably in hid
ing on Long Island aud up the North
river.
Rutnor says another expedition Is
being fitted out in Long Island Sound
rendezvous. 1t ia said to be in the VI
cinity of Lands Neck. Other reports
say the Catharine Whiting q passengers
were landed at some point to prevent
struggling and in hopes that another
vessel would be ready to take them to-
night. Marshal Barlow has taken
taken steps 10 ascertain their hiding
place and prevent the departure of any
hostile expeditions in future. The
Whiting is closely watched by two rev.
enue cutters.
Doctors McNulty and Duboise, In
dicted for connection with Cuban expe-
ditions, have been set at liberty on their
own recognizances.

AlIocution by the Pope.

4SOAlhI uAo SCs
The Pope delivered an allocution
Yesterday, in which he reviewed the
condition OF the Church in Italy and
other Countries. He deplores the Ital-
Ian law subjecting clerical students to
military conscription, as an infringe
ment of the immunities, rights and
liberties OF the Church. He dwelis on
the evils aftlicting the Church in Aus
tria and Hungary, and on tho COM
plaints of the bishops in those coun-
tries. The events in Spain give cause
for sadness and mourning. The Zsal OF
the bishops IN Poland, undaunted by
Prusslan persecution, is IL source of
consolation. The alloCution concludes
with these words: Let the enemies OF
Christ consider the fate of his enemies.
Let us pray that they may he restored
to the paths of Justice. and that the
Church may be crowned with fresh
triumphs.'

WASHINGTON, June 81.
For some days several prominent
Cubans holding official relation to the
revolutionary government of Cuba,
have been in Washington, and had an
interview with the President and sew
eral members Of the Cabinet and prom
lnent: senators. The assurance given
them OF sympathy with the Cubans in
their struggle and promises to render
practical aid to the cause, give the
Cubans in this city much satisfaction.
They state that a Government agent
will be sent to ascertain the strength
and prospects of the revolutionists, and
If favorable, the opinion is the bellig-
erent rights of the Cubans, will be re-
cognized by the government.
Both political parties in Virginia are
making increased efforts in the canvass.
There will be close contest. Gen.
Van Wick, of New York, starts to-
morrow for fredericksburg. Richmond
and other places to make speeches for
the Wells ticket, by invitation OF the
Republican State Central Committee.

IN New York alarmists are already
predicting fearful ravages of the chole-
ra this summer, basing their prophe-
cies on certain existing meteorological
conditions, which, they assert, invari-
ably precede the approach of the disease
mentioned. AS unpleasant as Is this
dreadful possibility, 1t should in many
respects be productive of several desi-
rable results such as the publication of
the physical atmosphere surrounding
our homes, and u stricter obedience to
the laws of hygiene, which, in this fast
age, we are greatly inclined TO ignore
as too uniInportant to merit our seri-
GUS consideration. These laws are so
simple that there can be no adequate
excuse for those ills of the flesh which
are directly traceable to their violation.
During the continuance of "the heated
term" cleanliness, not only of person
but of home surroundings, cannot be
too strenuously insisted upon. In
cities, those localities where cleanll-
ness is least practicable, owing TO the
poverty of the people, invariably suf-
fer most from the rnvages of contagious
disease, and this fact alone il sufficient
to prove the necessity of the careful
observance of the heaven epjoined vir-
tue referred to. AS our municipal au-
thOrities are in great measure respOn-
sible for the health of our city, they
cannot be too prompt in removing from
our streets and lots any offensive mat
ter which, If suffered to remain, might
serve as generative points for various
diseases of malignant character.

If we may rely implicitly on the re-
ports of affairs in Cuba sent out from
Washington, Providence is evidently
helping the Cubans. We hear that the
cholera is doing the business for the
Spaniards, while the Cubans are in fine
health. We suspect those who go down
there to see for themselves will find the
grim old fool killer not SO choice about
the nationality of his victims.

THE steady reduction in the clerical
force of the departments at Washing
ton, causes considerable distress, and
illustrates the mistake which. young
men make when they seek employ
ment in this department OF the govern
ment service. We mean young men OF
spirit and capacity, and of reasonable
ambition. For drones, and for young
men who are content with the mere
means of present livelihood, with no
desire to better themselves, and no wish
for settled, permanent occupation,
the departments doubtless present at
fractions. For married man to take
such place is folly. The cost of sup
plying family in Washington, cannot
be met by the compensation OF the great
majority of the department clerks.
There is little vnance of promotion, or
oven of permauency of the situation,
for with every change of administration
even if there be no change in its pO-
litical character, there is a general over
hauling of the departments, to make
place for new comers, who have just
the claims that the existing incumbents
had when their predecessors were turn
ed out to make place for them. We
cannot too strongly dissuade any young
man, who has anything in him tit to
make man of, from seeking or accept
ing these unsatisfactory and doubtful
and dependent places under govern
meut. r.... o..

VIRGINIA ELECrIoN.-Al the ac-
counts received In Washington from
Virginia say that the excitement
throughout the State over the approach
ing election is becoming very intense.
The canvass is carried on with u good
deal of bitterness on both sides. The
leading Repu bIicans from that State
now think that Wells. the Republican
candidate for Governor, will be elect
ed by from fifteen to twenty thousand
majority, although many claim that
these figures are too low. 1t seems to
be understood that the disiranchising
clause will be stricken out of the Con-
stitution. But few Republicans are
supporting 1t.

A sPEECH of a little French girl is r

A SPEECH of little French girl Is re-
ported by Mr.. Legouve of the Institute,
which, as a youthful defiance OF public
opinion, is something at once peculiar
and profound. The little girl had been
naughty, and on being threatened by
her preceptor that he would tell every
one he knew OF her misconduct, she
said. Very we'll, tell ii you want to;
don't care. There are great many
people that you don't know, and they
will never hear a word about it, The
appeal here to the great majority seems
to us far beyond the years of the little
school girl, but what will Mrs. Grundy
say to such hagrant characterization?

1t is freely reported, and appears to
be currently believed, that a prize
fight has been arranged for Wednes-
day morning somewhere along the
Ohio river in the vicinity of this city.
One of the fistic knights is said to be
Barney Duffey, of fCleveland and Burns,

been at Bellaire in training for some
time, and Burns was stopping here in
the city yesterday. 1t is gaid boat
will leave Bellaire with the party about
midnight, and go down the river to
some Island, where the fight will take
place at Q O'Clock tomorrow morning.
Enough has become known beyond the
limits of sporting circles to make 1t the
duty of the officers to keep sharp look
out for the party. No gang believed to
going off on any such business ought
to be suffered to leave Bellaire or any
