RoBBERY-ARREsT OF THE THIEF IN
New YoRK.--A few days ago, while Mrs
r. Robinson of Bennington, was riding
with a young lady in the suburbs of Ben
nington, the horses ran away, the car
riage was overturned, and the occupants
were severely injured. Mrs. Robinson's
skull was fractured, and she and her
companion were taken to house near
by. Among those who witnessed the ac-
cident was one Anna Clifford, who was
on her way to the railroad depot intend
ing to take the train for New York
She protested great sorrow for the suf-
fers, and declared her intention of re-
naming and caring for them until they
could be removed to their homes. On
the following day Miss Clifford disap-
peared, and with her handsome gold
watch, set with diamonds, chatelaine
chain, two sets of bracelets, and other
jewelry, and two wallets, containing over
800, belonging to Mrs. Robinson and
her companion. Superintendent Kelso
OF the New York police was informed
and q detective was detailed to look for
the thief, and after considerable search
found her in clearinghouse in Bond
street. She at first denied in the most
indignant manner that she knew any
thing concerning the robbery, but when
her trunk was searched the stolen arti-
cles were found. The prisoner was taken
to the Police headquarters and locked
up to await an examination.

Another debate occurred in the House
on the New Brunswick contested election
case in which Henry of Chester, Grout

FRANcE.-Neutrality is the order of
the day throughout Europe, so horribly
afraid of Germany are the nations, and
so little is republicanism liked by their
governments. Had France an Emperor
or King, she would have friends, but
as Republic she is left to struggle
alone. France can adopt Jack John
sons reply to Don Juan's question,
" Have you no friends ?"

SPECIAL NOTICES.

A Chapter Of Facts.-Space is valuable in
a newspaper, and it is therefore proposed In
this advertisement TO condense variety OF
facts. important to the public, into a small
compass. Those facts refer to Hostetter' s
Stomach Bitters-what that celebrated medi-
cine Is. and what il will do. In the first place
then, the article is stimulant, tonic. and al
teratiye. consisting Of combination Of an
absolutely pure spirituous agent with the most
valuable medicinal vegetable substances that
Botanic research has placed at the disposal of
the chemist and the physician. These ingre-
dients are compounded with great care. and
in such proportions as to produce a prepara-
ton which invigorates without exciting the
general system, and tOnes, regulates and con-
trolls the stomach, the bowels, the liver and
the minor secretive organs.
What this great restorative will do must be
gathered from what it has done. The case of
dyspepsia, or any other form of Indigestion,
in which it has been persistently admins
tered without effectihg a radical cure is yet to
be heard from, and the same may be said Of
bilious disorders, intermittent fever. nervous
affections, general debility, constipation, sick
headache. mental dependency, and the pecu-
liar complaints and disabilities to which the
feeble are 30 subject. 1t purifes all the fluids
of the body. including the blood, and the
gentle stimulus which it imparts to the nerv-
Gus system is not succeeded by the slightest
reaction. This is chapter Of facts which
readers. for their own sakes. should mark and
remember.

NASHVILLE, August n. 1870.
FELLow-CIrIzESs: On the 18th of June,
ult., ! had the honor to publish letter
in the Memphis Appeal, in response to
an editorial in that journal on the sub
ject of the gubernatorial canvass, and
among other things said:
AS to my being an aspirant for the
high position you mention, in one sense
| am, in another am not If my name
or nv services can be made useful to the
party-if greater harmony can thereby
be obtained or in any other way the in
terests Of the party subserved, ! have no
right and no inclination to withhold it.
But if it is to become an element of dis
cord-if it is to weaken one feather 5
weight the power of our influence am
not an aspirant, but willing follower
of the chieftain who shall bear the ban
ner in the fight"
Harmony Of action, at all times so es-
sential to the success Of political parties,
should, at the present crisis in our State,
be regarded as Of primary Importance.
The Frightening of the skies, indicating
to every lover Of constitutional liberty
the dawn of the "better day coming"
admonishes all Of us to yield personal
preferences and preferment to the com
mon good. When the National Demo
cratic party is battling with such manly
and hopeful energy to strike off our
bonds, how unwise, how ungrateful in US
to give strength to our foe by petty jeal-
ousies and personal rivalries2 Surely
no man who is mindful of the higher
duties of citizenship can permit such
considerations TO influence his action,
and the candidate for high public trust
who would hesitate is unworthy the con-
fdence. of the people.
Influenced by these considerations,
and believing as ] now do, that the time
has arrived for me to redeem the quasi
pledge contained in the above extract, |
promptly withdraw my name from the
canvass. A division between those who
have heretofore opposed Radicalism in
this State is already too distinct. As
the time approaches for the holding Of
county meetings il deepens and becomes
more intense, and must result in dis
astrous consequences unless something
is done TO put an end to IT, believe
that my withdrawal at this particular
juneture will tend in some degree in that
direction. l cannot consent to remain a
cause Of division among those who have
been comrades and friends
In the words Of that ripe statesman,
unselfsh patriot and Christian gentle
man, William H. Stephens, we all have
a common interest in securing the bless
ings Of just, an economical and paternal
II we unite as a band of
patriots, we may accomplish this result;
IL we divide, our overthrow is inevitable. y
For the sake Of harmony we can afford
to yield everything but principle: and ]
am satisfied that the convention to as
semble on the 18th Of September next
will be vigilant, and sternly rebuke every
effort to interpolate heFesies or to with

GEN auARLRs, LETTER

The letter Of Gen. VIM. A. Quarles
Withdrawing his name as candidate for
Governor reflects the highest honor upon
him as true patriot. He became con-
fident that a division was being created
between his friends and those of Gen.
Brown, which, whatever should be the
result Of the nominating convention,
might prove fraught with danger, If not
disaster, to the great cause in which we
are all engaged, and, like true gentle
man, as he is, he voluntarily relinquishes
his chances for a nomination, which,
being excellent, would have been tanta-
mount to an election. Gen. Quarles was
devoted 10 the same cause Of indepen-
dence in which Gen. Brown won his
spurs. They we're gallant soldiers, both
brothers in arms-and the one would
not occasion differences TO arise which
might endanger the success Of the other.
Gen. Brown had been, prior to the war,
an "Old-Line Wing. while General
Ouarles had been unswervingly devoted
70 the Democracy. They had enlisted
upder the same banner, had borne it
on many a battlefield, had en-
loved with equal fruition its successes

To the Editor Of the LEDGER
It seems my letter published in the
Appeal of this morning is construed
into an unqualified acceptance of can
didacy for the Senate. Such was not my
meaning. On the other hand, ! said the
call had come too late; that | could not
consent to hazard the harmony of our
party; that / did not want the position
Of legislator, and that my friends could
use my name sither in that connection,
or for the lower House onlg 10 preserre
our unity and hdrmOny--a contingency
which ] did not anticipate. Now, the
plain English of this is, candidates are
10 be selected for both the Senate and
lower House. want neither position.
But am citizen, and as saoh owe it
to my people if they get into an unan-
ticipated juncture where ] become nee
essary for either position. and my selec-
ton will ensure harmony, that ] should
be willing to serve. This is a simple
duty of citizenship, obligatory upon every
man in a republic. If my nomination
does not become necessary it will be to
me a qualification. ! think my letter
candidly read would show this to have
been my meaning and wish, Our har-
mony is the most important considera-

and had mourned its defeatsi and when
new regime was forced upon the coun-
try, by which the rights Of the citizen
are not only impaired, but their destruc-
ton is imminent, they again find them
selves side by side battling for the restora-
ton of free government and the preserva-
ton of constitutionalliberty. The press
in many portions of the State had
espoused the cause of one or the
other and however much twas desirable
to avoid such calamity, the impetuosity
of friendship was likely to lead to COLI
sions Of opinion, which would have for
hidden that harmony of action without
which signal and unqualified triumph
could not be achieved. The letter OF
General Brown, placing him fairly and
sauarely on the d platform, and
making manifest that with him as its
standard-bearer, the great issues before
the people would be protected inviolate'
and victory accomplished, doubtless was
the inducement which prevailed on Cen
eral Quarles to withdraw his name from
the canvass. The promotion OF har-
mony in his party was of more weight
with his patriotic feelings than the pros
pect of Gubernatorial honors. His self
abnegation will be honored, and the
high estimation in which he is held
by his fellow-citizens will be
enhanced. The probabilities of the
convention of the 18th September cast
ing an undivided vote for Gen. John Z.
Brown as its nominee, are thus, to our
minds, clearly demonstrated, and from
survey of the whole field, we cannot
but come to the conclusion that opposi-
ton to that nomination will be merely
nominal. The Democracy are satisfied
with his frank and broad declaration of
principles in harmony with their own,
and there is no ground for cavil left to
others who desire Radical defeat, as
they could not have candidate around
whom to concentrate more worthy their
confidence and entitled to their respect.
