A Bank Robbed and ,t. Cashier KILLED


From the st. Joseph (Mo.) Gazette, Dec. 81
On Tuesday, between ! 2 and l o'clock
p. ~, two men rode up on horseback in
front of the Daviess County Savings As
ISOLATION Bank in CalatiR. One of the
men Immediately dismounted and went
into the bank, presented 500 bill to
the Cashier. Capt. John w. Sheets, and
requested small bills for it. Capt. Sheets
went to the safe, got the change, and
was counting it, when the man who pre-
sented the bill drew revolver and shot
him through the heart and through the
head. There was no other person in the
bank, except young man named Nc.
Dowell, who attempted TO escape, but
the murderer took him prisoner, while
bis confederate waited at the door of the
bank and barred all cgress.
AS soon rs this fiend had shot the
Cashier, he commenced robbing the bank
of all funds that could be found, from
5000 to 5000. After accomplishing his
object he ran out into the street and
mounted bis horse, but was Immediately
thrown aud dragged thirty or forty feet.
As soon as he could release himself from
the stirrup he mounted the horse upon
which his accomplice was riding, when
he put spurs TO the animal and dashed
out of town. When they he'd ridden a
short distance on the road they met DIR.
Daniel Smoot, on horseback, whom they
halted, and, placing n revolver at his
head, ordered him to dismoukt. Seeing
that they were desperadoes, armed to
the teeth, he concluded that his only
safety was in complying with their de.
maud.
Immediately one of the robbers jump
ed upon the horse which they had thus
summary captured, and the two rode in
the direction of the Hannibal g. st. JIG.
seph Railroad with all speed.

FrldayIby Governor Walker affords ev-
idenoe Of his desire to complete the
work restoration In the readiest and

mends the ratification Of the fifteenth

election OF United States Senators as an

Congress the desire of the Legislature
to avert all pretexta of delay. The ad-
vice is judiclous. The choice of sound

COMING THROUGH THE RYE,

The Radicals are terrible anxious
about BUSTING George Rye from the
position of State Treasurer. He is guilty
of the terrible enormity of being a
Walker man, and that is enough for
The opponents of reconstruction to cause
his official head to be cut off, "smick,
smack, smoothe." They held meeting
on Friday night to arrange matters for
his removal. They could not exactly
agree, however, who to nominate in his
place. l.. II. Chandler was canvassed
for the position, but he was so bitterly
opposed by some Of them, Porter, the
member Of Congress particularly, that
they had to drop Chandler like hot
potato. They finally agreed to petition
to Gen: Candy to remove Geo. Rye and
put Mr.. Samuel Campbell, of Norfolk
In his place. But The question remains
to be decided whether Gen. Candy will
lend himself to tkeir malignity by
turning out good officer simply because
he would not vote as they desired him.

the TURBULENTS IN THB VfR-
GINA LEGISLATURES,

The adherents of Ex-Governor Wells
in the new Legislature Of Virginia, says
a republican paper, the New York
Times, have not entered upon their la
bors in q wise or moderate spirit. They
adhere to the opinion that the test oath
should be exacted, and having been
overruled by Attorney General Hoar.
they now protest In formal phrase. and
with threat Of which they should be
ashamed. They reserve ito themselves,
it seems, the right at any time to So
eede from the present Legislature. and
organize by themselves legal and loyal
Legislature
Legality and loyalty have no place in
the Fictitious policy here proposed. The
Legislature as now organi zsd, for de-
fined and lawful purposes, Is organized
in conformity with the Views expressed
by the legal adviser of the Federal Gov
eminent. Prior to bis presentation Of
hts opinion on the subject. there may
have been room for argument as TO the
course which General Candy might
consistently pursue. We were unable
to recognize his alleged right to impose
she test oath; but had the Attorny Gem
eral decided that that oath should be
exacted, no advocate Of the more liberal,
Interpretation of the law would have
dreamed of further opposition. Had
any friend Of Governor Walker talked
of reserving the right to seceds and Or
ganize another Legislature, he would
have been branded as foolish and an
incurable rebel. What. then, are the
extremists who now utter this identical
threat but foolish and intrac table OBJ
trusives2 No amount of lip-loyslty
can justify proceeding which has its
origin in reckless partisandhip, and the
influence of which will certainly be mis-
chievous.
80 far as 1t is possible to judge Of The
prevailing disposition Of the Legislature,
we gee nothing TO shake confdenGs to
