O'Clock this morning, Thos. Forrest, night
keeper, was seized and gagged by five convicts
whom he was taking to the mess room to get
breakfast for the other prisoners Al the mess
room they seized and gagged Edwin Graft, the
night guard, and then made their escape from
the roof. Craft was dead when found, having
been stranged by the gag Two convicts
have been arrested in a barn at Tarrytown, and
the other three will probably be recaptured
soon. Forests injuries were slight. At about
o'clock this afternoon another squad of con
victs made 81 attack on the guard at the middle
dock and rushed upon him with huge knives,
soon overpowering him. They then, having
supplied themselves with arms from the guard
house, boarded the sloop Exchange which was
lying at the dock, and attempted to drive the
men ashore. The.alarm had spread however and
a detachment Of the guard came down npon
them and d lively musketry fire took place, the
convicts finally surrendering. James McCauly,
convict, was probably mortally wounded. Five
Others were slightly wounded. The officers
aud guards were unhurt. All is quiet at the
prison tonight, and an inquest is being held
on the body of Craft.

Some Strange Excavations
From the New York World.

From the New ork W ord.
1t is a pity that Mr.. Grant does not grasp the
idea that the Presidency is not donation, but
trust, and that it's functions are, therefore, to
be eXercis ed not so much on personal prefer
ences as with an eye single to the good of the
republic. So far it would seem that he regards
the position as a candy cornucopia from which
he is to extract sugar-plum for the good boys
who have given him some OF their plum cake,
and accordingly it is that there IS keen point
in holy Ben's reported jest, to the effect that
John A. Grswold was not appointed ''because
he didn't subscribe enough"
Thus it will be remembered that Mr. Stew
art was out early in favor of the present un-
happy occupant Of the White House, bled liber
ally for campaign purposes, and, even so late
as the day before inauguration, was chief, in
that friendly delegation which presented Mr..
Grant with a check for $4,000 and the title
deeds Of the house that sum was supposed to
have just purchased from him. Mr.. Wash
burne's benefactions we all know They could
not possibly have been higher. They are those
which man owes to his creator. AS for Mr..
Borie, it is understood that his checks came so
fast and full at the time OF the October cleo
tions, when Pennsylvania, freighted with the
fate of the Presidency, hung trembling in the
balance, that Mr.. Grant was led to seek the ac-
quaintance of the liberal Frenchman who has
lust been remembered with the navy. Mr..
f1Oar 5 CONTRIBUTORS, NE. COA COHlIlDullOHS,
Mr.. Creswel's contributions to this donation
party do not precisely appear, but, if rendered,
of two things we are sure; first, that they have
not been forgotten; and, secondly, were not
refused This latter appears from the singular
aptitude of Mr.. Grant for taking anything and
everything but advice. If horse, good; thank
you. If house, still better and thank you
again. If another house, doubly indebted. If
a SG5, 900 check, just the thing; let US have
peace. But no advice. Rather have horse.
Ex-President johnson did other than this
When, on his accession, q handsome carriage
and fine span Of horses were sent him from this
city, he declined to receive that or any other
gift, deeIling such procedure unbecoming in a
chief glagistrate; and yet what Mr.. Johnson
whculd not permit by inference, Mr.. Grant
openly manfests in deed.

with want of success in the recent past, and
ridiculing their persistence 1t says
eve wonder they never take into account
the useless amount of time they waste in pre-
senting their forlorn hope to stff-necked and
ungrateful people,"
Why, the Christian religion has existed for
eighteen hundred years, and still the larger
part of the world is unconverted. Would the
Wing therefore recommend that we all become
pagans. 1t is only sense Of right, an adher-
ance to truth and principle, that make men pa
tient, persistent and hopeful. There have been
before now unbelevng scoffers at truth crush
ed to earth that was destined to rise again.
