ness. Those who inhabit the Union
depot can scarcely be said to have 6
shelter, but they took the nearest
thing to it that they had, and after
midnight the scene presented a quie'
seem of dreariness.
George Bradley and Richard Col
lier, in charge Of the Adams Express
office at the depot, turned into theil
hunks, as usual, soon after one O'Clock
in the morning, having transacted
their business with the midnight
trains. The double doors of the office,
which open outside of the depot, were
fastened merely with a bolt, which
was fastened to one door by means o.
nails and extended into the socket Of
the other door perhaps an irch. Ii
was subsequently discovered that the
bolt had been strained and the nails
started, by pushing from the outside
in such a manner that the ~fastenings
gave way and the door swung open.
Mr.. Collier believes that he and MIR,
Bradley did not go to sleep till about
1:45.
On the arrival of the train from
Cincinnati, at 2:35, Bradley and Col
lier did not make their appearance as
usual, and the guard was sent to as
certain the cause. He found the doors
of the Office ajar, and entering discop'

various papers, ETC., strewed on the
floor. He endeavored. to rouse Mr..
Bradley, but failed, and then turned
to Mr.. Collier. The room was thor
oughly chloroformed, and it was moi
until after repeated exertions that Mr..
Collier was aroused; the thief, OF

chloroform to him first, for the sponge
used was found near the face of MIR

Finally both were aroused, when ii
was ascertained that the keys OF two

How to Get a Dinner.

a party who had travelled about
pretty extensively was greatly per-
picked to understand how it was that
other persons were waited upon so
promptly and we'll served at the hotels
while he was almost entirely ignored
and could scarcely obtain a square
meal, complain to and swear at the
walters as he might. AT last his eyes
we're opened to the dodge of feeling
the walters literally, and being of an
ingenious turn of mind, he determined
to. improve on the plan. The next
hotel he dined at he took his seat very
pompously at the table and pulled a
well filled pocket-book out, extracted
therefrom a ten-dollar bill, which he
laid ON the white cloth beside his-plate
and and placed his goblet upon it
In an instant, almost, he was surroun-
ded by walters who seemed to vie
with each other in attentions. Every
wish was anticipated, and ali the del
icacies of both kitchen and pantry
were placed before him in tempting
array. Having Jared as sumptuously
as a prince Ito the envy of the other
guests, he took up the greenback and
beckoned to the nearest waiter, when
he was besieged by half a dozen or
so. Holding the bill in one hand, he
pointed to it with the other, and in
quired of the crowd: "Do you sec
that bill ?" ooh yes, sir ]" they all
exclaimed in chorus. ''Then take g
id good look at it, he replied, "for
you will never see it again." Saying
which he departed, leaving the wait
ers aohast.

Her arrival in that village, it may
well be imagined, created no little
commotion, and before tho people
could realize what had happened, Flick
was under arrest on the charge of Big
amy. Realizing his danger, he siren
uously denied that the woman was his
wife, but unmistakable proof was pro-
duced to show his character; and the
authorities refused to re1ease1rim even
on heavy bail.
The case has created a general scn-
sation in all circles in Lebanon, and
the people, convinced of the claims of
the wronged wife, have turned their
sympathy to her. Already the feeling
is strong against the man, and it has
been thought best to bring him to
this city.

his country, a criminal SO as to be
excluded from the jury-box? He
cannot take this oath. So i might go
on for an hour to call to your mind
Federal Office holders, men from
VIXEN you have removed the disabili-
ties created by the Fourteenth amend
ment to the Constitution and is the
Senator prepared to say that they are
all criminals because they cannot take
this oath?
But how does it become the Sen
ator, how does it become anyiman
who is willing to reason fairly, TO say
that the crimes, if they we're crimes,
that these men committed by rebellion
against the Government of the United
States, is any evidence whatsoever
that they are insensible to these out
RACES that are now committed at the
South, when every fair man does not
know that nine-tenths at least, and
mere than nine-tenths, Of the people
at the South are as much opposed to
these outrages as is any man on the
floor of the Senate?
What Justice is there in talking
about criminals, in branding whole
communities as criminals, branding
eleven States of this Union as crimi'
mails, all the people in them as crimi-
mails; and saying that because they
committed what w declare, to have
been a crime or an ofense ten years
ago, therefore they are partieeps Grimm
10 to-day? What kind of reasoning is
that, Mr.. President? How does such
reasoning become a man of the
intellect of the Senator from Vermont?
Sir, I need not elaborate such things.
/ have all my life been able to answer
and to answer without any excitement,
argument that was argument. Mere
defamation / have never been able to
answer with the patience that l ought,
perhaps, to possess.
I do not know that it is necessary
that I should say anything more in an
swert to the speech of the Senator from
Vermont. If that speech had been
made on some stump before an litter
ate audience whom he wished to ex-
cite, if it had been made where there
was nobody who knew what was the
Constitution of the United States, no
body who had ever looked into the
statute books of the land, nobody who
had ever been trained to reason, nobody
who was excited by any thing but his
passions or his p~rejudices, Icould very
well understand that that might be
called an effective stump speech ; but
made in the Senate of the United
States, I must be allowed to say that
it was not worthy of the Senator's
character, not worthy of his reputa-
ton, not worthy of his intellect.
