New YORK June 29.-The isBreatly ex-
cited this morning over the announcement just
made of the robbery of the Ocean National
Bank, which is situated on the corner of Green-
wich and Fulton streets. The total amount
stolen, which consisted mostly of bonds, checks,
and securities, is estimated at about two millions
of dollars. The burglars succeeded in making
good their escape, and the fact that the bank
had suffered any loss was not known until the
opening of the vaults this morning. A short
time since parties secured room directly under
the bank for the alleged purpose of carrying on
the broker business.
The vaults of the bank were reached by cut
ting through the ceiling of this room, and it is
now definitely known that the pretended brokers
we're expert English thieves, who have been
arranging in very quiet manner to rob the in
stitution for the past two months. The bank
was compelled to close its doors this morning
until II o'clock, when the officers promised to
resume business as heretofore. Other banks
and money dealers are coming forward with
assistance, sud it is hoped, upon closer sxamina-
ton, the total loss will not be rs large as now
reported. Two mail-bags of gold coin were
found in the gutter near the bank by the porter,
early this morning, which was the first intima-
tion that robbery had taken place.

The New York Democrats.

The New York Democratic Convention

leaders but nothing In its proceedings
commended II TO the sympathy of those
who believe that this is truly democratic
government intended to secure equal
rights for all the people. Mr. Tildcn cx.
hortcd his friends to let by.goncs be by
cones, and he declared for what he called
white labor against the Chinese immigrant
and the colorcd citizen But he did not
remind his friends that the by-goncs, in.
cluding bloody war, were the work of
Democrats, and that certain dogmas of the
party must be abandoned because the pco-
pie had spurncd them; nor did he show
any consciousness that in country of
which seventh of the population is col
orcd, aud which invites immigration, to
declare for one color or race against an.
other is to forbid fair play, and to en-
courage hatred, confusion, and anarchy.
Mr.. Tildcn having said that hc did not
wish to see amy immigrants coming to the
country who could not he nmalgamated

mass, Mr. O'Gorman said that the popula-
tion itself was immigrant. OF course both
remarks were equally acceptable to n
party which fraudulcntly multiplics the
ignorant vote In New York and declaims
against the colored native vote in
Georgia. Mr.. O'Gorman also said
that the Republican party had obtained
influence by interpreting that tran
siant emotion, Tint angry passion, which
now, thank God, is eradCatcd from the
American heart" The transient emotion

nblost of the Democratic editors, and who

he, equally with his friends, the orators,
knew that the reason the Democratic
party was constantly defeated from 1860

the country and the government, was the

Hog Pens.

EVERY farmer knows how offensive n
common sized hog pen or yard becomes
during the hot weather of summer, and
how during Il rainy time it becomes in fact
u swamp of mud. To remedy this, those
who have abundance, fill up with straw or
other litter, ashes, NC, and yet the remedy
is only partial; the smell is not disposed
of, and the animals are full half the time
wading in mirc.
The following manner of building pen
we have known to remedy the evil COM
pletely: Take two pieces of six by eight
timber each fourteen feet long; dress one
end of each in form of sled runner, then
lay them parallel eight feet apart, with the
six inch edge on tho ground; now take
four by four scantling and halve or tenant
in crosswise one piece at each end, and one
foot from the ends of the runners, leaving
the four inch strips one and one-half
inches below the level line of the upper
side of the runners; next lay a floor of one
and one-half inch plank over one-half the
surface, say eight by six feet. Next NOR
tice in four by four scantling at each cor
ner and midways for posts on which to
nail boards for the enclosing. Let these
four by four posts be flush with the out
side line of the runners; then nail inch
boards on the inside, dividing the whole
with q cross-fcnce or partition on line of
the floor. Roof over the loored part,
from the trough across one end or side of
the floorcd part, and with side door shut
your hogs in or out of that part--and your
pen is completed
Now you ask where is the benefit of
this pen over any common one with posts
set in the groundS We answer, you can
hitch team to it and remove it to any
besides enriching various spots of ground
and having a dry piece and fresh ground
