What the Neighbors Say.

1t is sometimes useful to hear what
our neighbors have to say with refer
ence to the United States. Here is a
specimen from the Trouto Leader:
watching the progress of politics in
the United States one is often forced into
considering what is the use of the bal.
lot. Look at the history of Texas for
the past two months. There the Dem
ocrats and Republicans are fighting for
the Governorship. The people promise
a Democratic majority, but the govern
ment at Washington is bound to support
the Republican party; and as the State:
are free country that government Is
Of course, free to act as it chooses
Orders are therefore issued from the
White House to dismiss every person
holding office in Texas who is going tc
vote the Democratic ticket. The ballot,
then, is no protection. American news
papers prate loudly enough if they car
out up an English la ndlord who ask:
his tenants to vote for his personal
friend, and they call.it gross oppression
and many other hard names. But what
is this procedure of the United States
government but the worst kind of de,
spotismi Surely uIder such rule the
ballot becomes a mockery, and Republi
can freedom little else than an impos
lture,n

Panic in Church-Power Of nethe-
dist Hymn.
From the Troy Times, Nov. /.


Yesterday afternoon, while service
was being held in the lecture room of
the Congress Streel Methodist Church,
and lust as Rev. DR.. Butler had con.
cluded an address, smoke was discover
ed issuing from the registers in vast vol
umes. 1t was immediately surmised
that fire was in progress IN the room
below. an effort was made to discover
the truth in the matter, but very inop-
portunely some stumbling individual
accidentally tripped against one of the
REGISTERS making a loud noise which
startled the congregation and preclpl-
tated the most intense excitement many
supposing that portion OF the hoor
had given way. An immediate rush
was made for the door, and a fearful
and indescribabie scene ensued. The
large, number of children present were
in danger of being crushed to death, and
cries of trightful import rang through
the building. A number of the more ulet
of the congregation stood upon their
seats and endeavor to quiet the assem-
blape. As it was evident that the
danger from fire was not immediate,
some enc struck up a familiar tune
which was taken up by others, and dur
ing the singing partial quiet was re,
stored, and less expeditions egress OF
the audience took place. 1t is somewhat
remarkable that no one was Injured
during the confusion. A large hole was

The Republican party in West Nir-
ginia is going to pieces. Its members
are stampeding. From all quarters OF
the State we hear of them renouncing
their allegiance to Radicalism aud Civ,

moving, and bid them a hearty wei

Let it be known that for honest Re.

hear, too, of "leyal" leaders high in po'

Capt. Higgins, late commander of the
priyateer Cuba, says he was forced to
put into Wilmington in consequence of
the inferior quality of coal that he re-
ceived from the schooner off Montauk
Point. He claims that the Cuba was q
legitimate man-of war commissioned by
the Cuban Government. His intention
at the commencement of his cruise was
to prey upon Spanish commerce in the
West Indies and assist Cubaus in gain.

Island. The failure of the schet,e he
attributes TO his inability to obtain coal
without running into Wilmington. The
officers of the Cuba lose heavily by her
seizure but are determined to try il
again if they can obtain another ship.

Attempted Bank Rebberies in New
ENGLAND

fFrem the Worcester (Mass) Spy, October %.
But few weeks have elapsed since
the attempt to rob the bank at Uubridge
was made, and the similar unsuccessful
attempts at Stonington, Townsend. and
other places, are still fresh In the minds
of the public. OF the attempt upon the
Windham County Bank at Brooklyn,
Conn.-which We inadvertently located
at Danielsonville in the brief account OF
yesterday-the following particulars are
furnished:
A desperate, though unsuccessful, at
tempt was made to reach the yaluables
that were in a small safe enclosed with
in the vanlt. The building was entered
by prying off the shutters of window,
and the door of the vault opened by
pressing open the sides of the vault with
powerful jack. screws. The efforts to
break into the safe were undoubtedly
continued until the burglars were
warned of the danger Of further efforts
by the approach of morning. They
secured nothing of value, although q
box containing $4,000 was on shelf,
back of some books, easily accessi-
bic to them if they had known of
its presence. Great anxiety was
felt when the robbery was discov-
cred, as pereons in the vicinity had
large deposits in the safe-some their
all. The would.be robbers had injured
the safe so much that the maker was
summoned from Providence to assist in
opening it, the officers of the bank being
unable to do SO. When the contents
were found all safe, there was great re-
ioicing. a thousand dollars reward bad
been offered for the detection of the
burglars. The Windham County lnsu.
rance Company had over S30,OOOof un-
registered bonds in the safe, and the
whole amount the robbers would have
reached, if successful, would have
amounted to over 100000.
In addition to the above, we clip the
following from a Connecticut paper,
showing that another unsuccessful at
tempt has been made on the Bank Of An
sonia, Conn: &, ..
"a desperate attempt was made by
burglars on Thursday night to rob the
bank in Ansonia. They secured an en-
trance to the bank, and got well to work
on the vanlt lock, when something
them off, and they left in
such haste that none of their tools were
The bank officers, at last ac-
counts, had been unable to get the lock
open, owing to the tampering it had
met WITH

impression that pretty much all OF the

mention as delicately as possible Messrs
Campbell and HUBBARD, were most un-
mercifully slaughtered, and the genuine

quietly sppropriates the credit, were
elected by Democratic votes. The Eve

An InsoIenf Correspondent Gets his
Just Deserts
A Washington special to the New
YORK Republic of the Doth SAYS.

a washington special to the New
York Republic, Of the 29th says:
Lorenzo Littleton Crounse, the chief
of the New York Times Bureau of Cor.
respondence in this city, was publicly
coEhlded this morning in front of his
otf1ce on Fourteenth street, opposite
Wizards, by Harry Marston, Esq, of
New York, late Deputy Collector of In
ternal Revenue in the Sixth New York
District. The castigstion was laid on
without any reservation whatever, and
the affair is the talk of the capital.
The otfense was most heinous. being
nothing less than vindictive assault
IN the columns of the Times of the 23d
OF last, in letter from Saratoga, writ
ten by Crounse, and signed "CymoD,"
In the course of which q coarse, unpro-
yoked, and grossly ungentlemanly series
OF references were made to the wife of
the gentleman who to-day cow-hided
the correspondent.
The lady was referred to in particular
and unmistakable terms as "Anoyma"
and "lobyess," such assertions being a
wanton slander to one of the best con-
Quoted, accomplished and beautiful
women whom New York has ever con-
tributed to the society of the nation.
Mr.. Marston, at the time of this letter,
secured Mr.. Bigelow's promise to dis
miss the correspondent from the Times.
That not having been done, Mr.. MarstOn
took the vindication into his own hands,
and coming on from New York last
night, vigorously lashed the shoul-
ders and face of the offender with
new cowhide to-day. Crounse and Mr..
Marston are just equal in size, and there
is no disparity except in spunk, Crounse
proving bad defendant. The ohjec-
tionable letter was the latest of a series
of newspaper attacks, without provoca-
tion, which have been written against
Mrs. Marston for two years past, and
now the just retaliations are setting in
apace. There may be more.of this sort
of thing to do; if so, it will be done.
Crounse is the companion and puffer of
Doorkeeper Dent, and man who has
done many things unworthy of true
journalism. At present he suffers too
much to enlarge on his discontinue.

IN summing up the results OF the late
election, and pointing ont their sigu'h-
canoe, the Mteliigencer omlts one little
fact which we submit for its considera-
ton. 1t is that the Republicans were
beaten in the State upon the popular
yste not less than twelve hundred. It's
a trfling matter, to be sure, compared
with the Democratic majorities to fol-
low, but it might be well enough for
the IntelEgencer's readers to understand
it. Lay it before them, show them how
in twelve months GRANTS majority OF
nine thousand has been melted away,
and nice margin of votes cast upon
the other side, and then let them con-
slider if it isn't about time for them to
abandon the low grounds Of proscrip-
ton new being swept by public opiu-
ion,

Ark, "Come in out of the wet !"

If the Republicans had unitedly
taken the field on a platform like that
adopted in this county the Democrats
could not have made a respectable hight.
Intelligsncer, Of yesterday.
In proof of this statement, we beg TO
suggest the result in Ohio county. If
the platform, which our neighbor care
fully suppressed from the day OF its
adoption in Ohio county, had been put
forth By the Republicans of the other
counties, the State would have been
saved. AS it wasn't, the State was lost.
But as the great specific which would
have preserved the Republican party
had it been generally applied, fully
doubled the Democratic majority in
Ohio county, where it was applied, we
greatly regret that the Republicans
generally, did not take the field on q
platform like that adopted here.

1t is stated that "a very large body of
Anglican clergymen in different parts
of England have prepared petition to
be sent to the Council of the Vatican,
the prayer of which is, "that, should the
decision Of the Council be unfavorable
Gas the petitioners believe it not impro-
bable it will be to the validity of An
glican orders, the petitioners and others
of their body who have entered the
ministry of the English church through
religious motives should be received in

priests, employed as such, and allowed,
if married, to continue so until the
death of their present wives-those
married not to be employed as confcs
sor.") This is very extraordinary
story, but it is reported, on good au-
thority, as being entirely true; and it is
added that "many of the English Cath
olic bishops are favorable to the petit
ton, and will urge its adoption by the
Holy Father and the Council" and that
