The trial of the Communists who
were engaged in the destruction of
the residence of Theirs has terminated.
They have all been convicted, and
sentenced to imprisonment for terms
ranging from two to twenty years.
NJ. Gambetta made his expected
speech at St. Quentin last night. His
tone was moderate, and the speech has
had an excellent effect on public opin-
ion He assured his hearers that no
danger at present menaced the exist
ence of the Republic, but reforms
were necessary to confirm it, and the
people should see that legislation to
that end be not kept back too long il
the National Assembly. He said that
citizens should take more interest in
political affairs, and make their influ-
ence felt in the government of the
country. To give their power its le-
gitimate effect, he advocated the for
nation of a National Republican par
tY, and set forth in detail a plan OF
reformation, based in many respects
upon the American system.

arrival of his confederates, when he
took the lock off the door leading. to
the staircase. They then proceeded
up stairs to Bryson's printing Office,
on the second story, and got upon the
roof the store; here they broke the
heavy glass of the sky light and gain
ed an entrance to the jewelry store by
mean of rope, which they took from
the hatchway in the front entry. Up:
on getting into the store they sledged
the hinges off the safe, and secured
fine watches and jewelry to the value
of $50, 600, most of which had just
been purchased. The thieves took
,onIysfne goods, and nothing which
had the name of the firm upon it
On the floor of the store were found
a lot of burglars instruments, consist
ing of jimmies, sledges, chisels, and
bits, and cloths to deaden the sound of
blows
The safe stood in the back end of
the store, and i. is the custom to leave
the light burn there all night, and it
was found burning yesterday morning
as usual. The safe stood in such a
position as to be in view of passers
along the street, and the burglars ex-
hibited much boldness in operating in
a place where they were liable to de-
lection, particularly as private watch
men are engaged in the neighborhood.

An Other Departure.

The wire workers of New York
and elsewhere are busily engaged in
setting on foot a scheme for tie Presi-
Dental contest of next year. The
proposition is, hat the Democracy
shall not nominate a can didatefor the
Presidency, but let the s~ore-headed
elements of both parties do up that
job, and then quietly take a back
seat, and let the new leaders run the
machinel 1t is urged that thousands
of the strongest men of the Republi-
can party will join the raid, if the
name of Democrat is abandoned, and
the more pleasing name o. Reform
Party adopted. 1t is assumed that
the good old name of Democrat is so
offensive to these new departure men,
that they would faint by the way, if
they had to bear that burthen! This
may be a very pretty scheme, and a
highly fattering one, but we are
of opinion it will not be successful.
If plumber and hate are the only CO.
hesige elements of parties. the sooner
such parties are ffsmashed," the better
it will be for the people. We appre-
bend they will not he deluded by this
new deal. There is no settled policy
for the new party-it has no platform
except to route Gram and his minions.
Dc these new trfcksters suppose the
people will endorse without explana-
ton, platform Or principle, a political
move ofthat character? The Democ-
racy have conten6ed for well defined
principles for three-quarters of a CEN
fury. Those principles antagonize
everything advocated by the Republi-
can leaders, and if these pseudo refor
mers are in earnest let them join the
in bringing about reform
of lasting character.

Timothy Free, a very hospitable man,
made a supper. He invited all his
friends to partake ofhis bounty. They
agreed to come. Just before the sup
per, they learned that the roasted OK,
the wines and other refreshments were
stolen by the Hostl Being dreadful
hungry, they met for consultation
1t vas agreed the supper had been
dishonesty and unlawfully obtained.
If they devoured it, would they not
encourage and endorse a theft? An
old fox suggested a happy scheme to
obviate the difficulty. He would
adopt a resolution denouncing theft
and thus rid themselves of the moral
responsibility of using stolen goods?
The resolution was adopted and being
extremely hungry, they fastened to
the FEAST Were they relieved of the
terpitude of encouraging theft?
The new departure men agreed in
denouncing the amendments as a fraud,
and as having been adopted through
force and violence, in opposition to the
wishes of the people and the rights of
the States; yet, being mighty anxious
for Office, they were willing to stultify
positionss to get their hands
into the public crib Uncle Samuel
furnished the feast. Having de-
nounced the villainies of the Republi-
can leaders, they felt free to adopt a
new trick to shove their political en-
emies into the coldl Beautiful!

HNeW Departure"

The Ohio Statesman says the fol-
ing article, from the Vicksburg Tier
aid, is the best reply it has ever read
to Dir. Alexander H. Stephens long
and prosy article on the amendments :
"a fellow was arrested and lodged
in jail. After spending a night in
prison he concluded to send for a dis
tingnished lawyer. The mar OF books
came, and after a full statement of the
case from his client, smiled sweetly
and said: "Why, my dear sir, there
is no trouble in your case. They can't
put you in Jail for that. The law and
the constitution are both against it."
The prisoner responded, rs follows /;
Il don't know anything about the con-
stitution and laws. You say they can
not put me in Jail, but I'm id if L
amt in Jail right nowg"
'sRight there is the answer to MIR.

depart They say that the four

LONDON, Nov. 23.-An official bull
letin is issued this evening regarding
the condition of the Prince of Wales.
1t is signed by the attending physi.
clans, who state that the Prince is suf-
fering from an attack of typhoid fever,
but the symptoms are not alarming.

PENSION of negotiations between Eng
land and France, for the modification
of the commercial treaty, is fully con.

John Gribble, secretary of the To,
tai Abstinence Society Of Brixham,
publicly accuses the Queen of intoxi-
cation. The charge causes a great
uproar, and the local authorities have
already commenced legal proceedings
against the man who made it.
A large Radical meeting, which was
attended by four thousand people, was
held in Bristol last evening. Sir
Charles w: Dicke addressed the as
semblage. There was much uproar
and fighting during the progress of the
meeting, and the band was prevented
from playing the national anthem,
"God save the Queen"
The report comes from Liverpool
this morning of a terrible disaster in

cused Of having robbed the State of
large sums of money and railroad bonds

TWENTY-ONE MILLIONS IN GOLD.
Mr.. EDIToR.-

II. -
When we changed our business some
two years ago, from Furniture to Gen
eral Insurance agency, we fully deter
mined at all times to be able to sell
the people in the various departments
of Insurance only first class Policies /;
yet, in our Fire Department the late
great fires at Chicago and Minestee,
demonstrated the fact that many of
the Companies with a light capital
were ~bankrupted, and those who held
policies in them were the losers
Therefore, We have now perfected ar
engagements with the London, LIVER
pool and Globe Insurance Company,
with a Capital of $21, 900, 900, for the
district over which we work for the
old St. Louis Mutual Life Insurance
Company with headquarters at Ash
land Ohio, aud solicit of all who want
an insurance policy that the burning
of one city cannot destroy its worth or
indemnity to them in the event of fire.
Her rates are regular and as equitable
as is safe for the risks taken. To all
those preferring Home Institutions,
however, we say we represent the
Home of Columbus, with a capital OF
$500, 900. The Amazon of Cincinna-
ii, with a capital $500, 900. The Sun
of Cleveland, with a capital of $780,
900, and the Commerce of Albany,
with a capital of $780, 600. In our
Life department, we represent the St.
Louis Mutual Life Insurance Compa-
ny with a capital ofs60O,Oo 0 in assets
and in which we have over four hun
dred members in our district. This
company has all the advantages Of
insurance. Its managers are men of
known character and integrity its risks
are well scrutinized by experienced
Medical examiners-its investments
are of undoubted security, and in 1870
realized the highest rate of interest ever
obtained by any Life Insurance. Its
policies are all non-forfeiting under
the Missouri law. In our Health de
partment we represent the Cincinnati
Mutual Health and Accident Insurance
with a capital of $500, O00.
This company has distributed in this
community claims to the amount of
hundreds of dollars. In our accident
we represent the Hartford
Insurance Company with a
of 81. 800 900. all of which are
first class companies with all the adj
vantages there are in insurance in their
respective departments, and al our
work calls US from oar Office most of
