against the proprietors Of the d.

900 worth of lost character. Fluke
is charged with being . defaulter
to the amount Of $4,000, and stands
indicted in Scott 60. Himself and

trusted with the books of the ceun-
ty that they might prepare their de-
fence the books were stolen and
mutilated and the evidence Of guilt
nearly destroyed. 1t is generally
true that men who sue for . charsc-

The Ocean Bank robbery in New
York has taken q curious turn. The
police discovered . small tin box
on the side walk in Elizabeth street,
Immediately in the rear of the
Bowery Theatre, with . card nailed
on it, addressed to Captain Jour-
dan, Sixth ward" 1t was con-
veyed to the station house, and on
Captain Jourdan opening it, some
$500. 900 of the stolen bonds,
checks, etc., were discovered. These
securities were none of them ne
gotiable, and therefore Of no use to
the thieves fact which accounts
for their return by the thieves. All
the checks were certified, and as
these would not be paid, without
personal Identification, the risk, no
doubt, was deemed too great to be
incurred.

General SHER,DE N is being put in
training for the Radical candidate for
President in 1872. as the successor OF
Grant. This is the secret of the move
to make him President Of the Society Of
the Army of the Potomac and the cause
ofthe preliminary caucus to force his
election to that position. They desired
that position as q stepping -stone and
a. . means to secure the assistance oil
that society in carrying out their pro.
gramme for 1872. The scheme is said
to be extensively laid. and has the sup
port Of Grant, who expects ut the end Of

SCENTS and profits in the sale of Offices, to

The Republicans Of Clayton Co.,
recently met in convention at FL.
kadsr and nominated county officers,
and passed three resolutions, the
End of the series reading as follows:
I'd. While We are proud to &C.
knowledge that the success Of the
Republican party has been largely
due to its patriotic, free and indie
pendent Newspaper press. we un-
qualifiedly condemn the infamous
practice inaugarated in this Con.
gressional district, Of subsidi.ing
and corrupting this. which should
be the great conscrvator of public
virtue, by the use of Federal pat
ronsgs to accomplish personal ad-
vancement.
This resolution is not aimed more
a. Allison than at the partissn
press that supported him, it being
we'll understood that the Elkader
journal. the MoGregor News the
Nashua Post and the DEBORAH Re-
publican. all opposed his nomination.
Their conversion to Allison was at
the time, as marvellous as the
conversion Of Saul.
It now transpires that the Jouru-
al. received $500 for espousing the
cause Of the incorruptible Allison i;
the editor of the News, Post, bud
Republican, each the promise of the
Post Office in their respective cities.
The LIST resolution congratulatcs
the country on "the wisdom, purity
and patriotism Of the administration
of Grant. +" when it is notorious. that
in his appointments no has been as
much tsubsidized' AS was the Press
Of this district in its support o;
Allison. The 81 and final resolu-
ton endorses Hon. E H. williams

Hon. ]. W Grimes. It sssms to

honest face the journals alluded to

under tho facts alleged and now
proven, is sufficient to warrant us
in the belief that it is not inextri-
