Bold Bank Robberie,.

The pequonnock Bank robbery re-

tive to obtaining loan on Government
securities. 1t now seems not at all im-
probable that while the cashier was en-
gagged at the counter confederate slipped
in at the rear door and passed into the
vault, secured the first box that he found
handy, which CHANGED 70 be that Of Mr..
Hotchkiss, containing 800, 900 in securi-
ties, and made of. To do this would not
require two minutes to person prac-
ticed in such exploits, and the heavy car
pet and mating on the floor of the bank
would tell no tale were the thief lightly
shod. This was bold, but not more bold
than common. A year or two ago per-
son entered the Importers and Traders
Bank, New York, in broad daylight, took
off his coat, put ON duster, stuck pen
behind his ear, and then walked deliber-
ately past clerks, tellers, and cashier, and
pushing the president aside, who stood
talking with some of the directors, en-
tered the vault and helped himself to the
largest trunk he could find, and walked
out unmolested, no one suspecting that
anything was wrong until he was off and
out of sight.

Scientific men, by laundering ex-
pertinent with coal tar and fragments of
slate, which for long time were both a
nuisance, have discovered that when the
Vermont sheet slate is ground to fine
powder and mingled with coal tar, IN
definite proportions, the plastic material
will reconstruct in short period OF time
and form slate which is as susceptible of
as fine polish as a schoolboy's slate.
The Legislature of the State of New
York nsiituted thorough investigation
Of this subject last winter touching the
adaptation of this plastic for covering
the roofs Of public buildings and decks
of any kind of boats, and that body were
so thoroughly satisfied of its excellence
as durable roofing material--and more
than as cheap again as the best of tin
that an act was passed legalizing the
use Of what was termed PLASTIC slate "
for roofing purposes in all the cities and
villages of tho State, "even within the
limits OF the fire districts" where the
municipal or corporation authorities had
passed an ordinance to allow no building
to be covered with combustible mate
rial. Strange as it may appear, after the
coal tar, which is highly fnHammable,
has united with the slate -four, fire may
be kindled directly on the roof of build
ing, and the roofing will not burn any
sooner than the Vermont slate.

Removal of southern Disabilities.

A correspondent ofthe Baltimore San,
in his letter of the 2sth ult., says; /" The
speech of Senator Ferry this morning
may be regarded as the first hearty re
Spouse from any prominent member Of
the Radical party to Gen. Grants famous
declaration, let us have peace. Mr.
Ferry took broad ground in favor of a
complete and absolute wiping ont of
all the political disabilities now imposed
upon the Southern people, and did not
hesitate to assure his associates that such
an act of clemency could not only safely
be performed, but that its inevitable
tendency would be to restore harmony
and fraternal feeling. Mr.. Ferry was
listened to with great attention, but his
remarks struck too much at the very
base of Radical supremacy to meet with
much favor. 1t is matter OF regret thai
the assertion is warranted that he is
without doubt the only Senator Of his
party who favors the immediate removal
of these unjust political disabilities.

The Kew Style Of Weapons in use Among
the Washington Negroes.

"Don Piatt" writes as follows from
Washington:
Talking about Washington, curious
fact has lately come to light. The police
aud white inhabitants have been sorely
puzzled for long time back by the mys-
terious disappearance of razors. When
the roughs came down from Baltimore
to vote in the Democracy at the NUM-
cipal election, they we're met at the polls,
and appalled, by the unexpected use of
razors. Several roughs were badly cut,
and one fellow had his head nearly
severed from his riotous body. 1t seemed
as if all the BARRIERS had turned out, and
brought all their tonsorial implements
with them. In desperate case of bur-
glsry, a razor was found on the premises.
In the police reports of rows among me-
gross, rszors flourish extensively. The
good people of this city began to believe
that ell the desperate BARRIERS Of the world
we're assembled in Washington.
The truth leaked out. Our colored
fellow-ctisens are armed with razors. 1t
seems that, as the law against carrying
concealed weapons was being enforced
against the colored population, some
Yankee (Sumner or Wilson, perhaps,)
suggested the razor That is not, in the
eye Of the law, deadly weapon, but an
instrument Of labor and skill. And so
every "blsrsted" negro has one of these
fearful bits of cutlery in his pocket, and
knows how to use it.
This morning | asked Chawls, the
colored man who waits on our mess, il
he had such thing as razor about him ?
Chawls slowly put down my boots, and,
looking up, said:
"No, sab; don't carry one of dem,
sab. But mos OBJ dem niggers do, sab. >"
What do .bey carry a razor for,
Chawls7'
Well, you see, sab, dere's law sgin
de private citizen, sab, carryin' de pistol
or de knife, sab, so twas 'quested, sab,
OBJ de colored citizen to provide hissef
wild razor for self-defense, 90 as not to
infrsctionaie de law, sab"
don't know anything more horrible
and diabolical, than an idea of q popula-
ton Of infuriated negroes rising up,
armed With these internal bits Of polished
steel Small wonder the constitutional
Andrew declined being any longer the
colored mems Moses. Who'd be q Moses
with his lively children running after him
with razors, sud ready TO 60 for him
