DARING CRIME IN LANCASTER.

$4,000 and other vnIunbIes sIoIen-A Family
Bound md Gagged by "A Band of iMasGed
Men.
The Lancaster Pa.) Express of last evening
has an account of an incredibly daring outrage
perpetrated in that city, from which we con-
dense as follows:-
Last night between the hours of 10 and IL
o'clock, the residence of Samuel Denlinger, a
Director of the Lancaster County National
Bank, of this city, was burglariously entered by
four men, with masked faces, aud robbed of
$4,000 in Government and Lancaster city bonds,
800 in currency, gold, and silver, and three
silver watches, valued at $35 each.
Immediately upon entering the house the
robbers repaired to the bedside of Mr. Dem
lihger, binding him hand and foot with ropes,
and also binding rope across his mouth, which
they tied in a knot behind his ear. This, how
ever, was not very well performed, as tue rope
fell from about his face before the burglars left
the house. They then tied Mr.. Denlinger's
mother in-law in similar manner, and next his
wife shared the same fate. In tying Mrs. Den
linger, however, the fact was disclosed that the
parties, at least one of the number, knew
the family intimately; she is a con-
firmed invalid, unable to walk or leave her
bed, and when one of the burglars was about to
tie her ankles together, another stepped to his
side and whispered in his ear, when he at once
quit his hold upon Mrs. Denlingers limbs and
refused to tie them. 1t is supposed that the
operator was told that it was unnecessary to
bind her. as she was unable to walk at any
rate. Having secHred the family in the lower
part of the house in this manner, pistol was
next placed to Mr.. Deninger's head, with the
accompanying threat that they would blow his
brains out instantly if he refused to disclose
the whereabouts of his money and bonds. He
told them where the pocket-book was that
contained the 500, aud also where the
bonds were kept, giving one of them the
key to the desk, but the other three we're so
impatient that they broke the desk open and
distracted the bonds. The masks which they
wore were simply strips of black alpaca which
they had bound around the lower parts of their
faces Having secured all they wanted, they
beat retreat, leaving their victims bound upon
their beds By this time other members of the
household became aroused by the unusual
sounds, and, discovering the family tied up in
this unpleasant style, quickly released them;
but before the alarm could be sufficiently
spread the burglars were safely out of the
vicinity.

Washington despatch says:-The case of the
Georgia Senators, postponed from last Saturday,
will be heard before the Judiciary Committee
on Wednesday next unless a railroad or some
other accident interposes. Contrary to state
ments that have been made, there are only two
rival delegations seeking admittaDce to the pre-
sent Congress. Joshua Hill and III V. NJ. Miller
were elected July 23 1865 and Henry P Farrow
and X. II. Whitley, Feb. Is, 1870. The condi-
tion of the question sabout as follows:-Hill and
Miller were elected by the Legislature organized
by Gen. Meade, before the colored members were
expelled. There were in that Legislature, as is
alleged, some twenty members disqualified from
holding seats by the fourteenth amendment; and
this is the ground on which the validity of the
election is questioned. After this election
about twenty of the colored members were
expelled, and minority candidates admitted
in their places; and such was the compost
tion of the Assembly in December last when
Congress ordered reorganization. The
minority candidates in the seats of the negroes
were turned eat and the former occupants re-
stored and the members disqualified by the
amendment were expelled and minority candi-
dates put in their places; and Farrow and
Whitley were elected by the Legislature as thus
composed. So one set of Senators were elected
when the Legislature contained twenty mem
bers politically disqualified for them, and the
other by Legislature containing twenty mem
bers who received only a minority of votes

and holding strong position in the Repub-
ican party, will substantially control the
balance of power on this question in both
houses of Congress.
If the monopolists and high-protectiye
wing Will only regard this fact reasonably,
and act accordingly, it will benefit the whole
Republican party, both now and in the future
Presidential election. Let them give up the
effort to protect monopolies any further; let
them abandon high duties, and suffer iron
and coal and wool and lumber to take their
chance on q moderate revenue tax, or with no
Government aid at all. Their constituents
have either sufficiently enriched themselves.
or they have proved to the whole people that
these interests cannot feat without an assist
ance from the Government which is public
burden. Let the monopolist wing now yield
to the inevitable, and accept carefully
framed revenue tariff.
If, however, they are obstinate, and OBJ
struct every moderate reform in the tariff
because they cannot sufficiently protect their
own interest, there is imminent danger of a
worse thing coming upon them, and upon
the country. There is undoubtedly body
of the Democrats who would see with indif-
ference the reputation of the national debt,
and would hail such a tightening of the GUS
toms duties as would practically pre-
vent the payment of the interest, and en-
tirely shut out any possibility of ever
meeting the principal. If the revenue re-
formers were rendered desperate, they
might be driven into serious revolt from
the national party, and, with the Democrats
and the South, sweep away the most import
ant portions of even q revenue tariff, and
put Democratic administration in Washing
ton on the basis of low taxes and repudia-
ton. We do not suppose for moment that
the present Republican revenue reformers, {"
who include some of the most honored and
intelligent members of the party, propose or
aim at such disastrous elimination of their
efforts. We only warn the monopolist and
the ultra protectionist that such fruit of
their selfish policy is among the possibilities.
Let them in time govern their course accord
ingly, and abandon extreme claims which the
country will not sanction.
The true compromise between the wings
of the Republican party is the formation of
a committee of moderate views, who shall
frame for the next session q medium revenue
tariff, with sole and exclusive reference to
tightening the burdens of taxation, and at
the same time raising revenue enough to
meet all the demands of the Treasury. Under
such tariff they could go before the country
in the next Presidential election, and carry
everything before them. The nation at large
neither want monopoly nor reputation. The
medium course will be the reasonable and
popular one.

Nay, in his published card he espouses the

that he considers him an injured man,

cease to be Grants parasite, as soon as Grant

THE TRUE COMPROMISE BETWEEN
THE TWO WINGS OF THE REPUBLI-
CAN PARTY

CAN PARTY.
From the n. Y. Times.
The recent votes of the House on the duties
upon coal and salt must convince many Re-
publcans of the fact we urged SO strongly
and frequently more than year ago-that
the moderate party on the tariff question is
extremely strong throughout the country.
It is all very well for the Pennsylvania Re-
publicans to seek to bolster up their local in
terests to an extreme degree, or, on the
other hand, for the ultra free-traders
of Missouri and the West to air
their theories for universal free-trade
and direct taxation. The nation at large
favors neither of these ultraisms. The
people know, whatever they may think of the
abstract benefit of free trade, that the interest
on the debt and the sums towards its redemp-
tion must be paid from indirect taxation,
and that no form of this burden is 30 little
felt as the duties Of tariff. Undoubtedly,
IN purely abstract view, the most Just and
sound method of taxation is the direct one;
but practically the people will not bear it,
and they pay most easily what they do not
know to be paid to the tax-gatherer.
Taxes in this country must always be in
direct. And as the consumption by this ma
tion Of luxuries will always include a vast
amount of products of foreign countries,
these imports will always form the favorite
object OF taxation. The vast and increasing
agricultural districts of the country, or the
commercial cities, such as New York, do not
desire to have all their greatest necessities
in production burdened with duties because
certain monopolies in the Central and East
ern States claim bountiful protection from
the Government. Even New England has
mainly abandoned her former demand for
high protective tariffs. With this strong
party in the West and East supporting a
revenue tariff, there will soon appear an ally
In the South, whose interest must always be
Inflow duties. The result is what we predicted
more than year ago, that the medium tariff
party, being able on many points to include
from 40 to 100 Democratic votes in Congress,

Washington, Jan. 10. A raid with mounted
troops just made in the mountain region of
Tennessee, resulted in the destruction of
seven illicit distilleries and about IL, 600 gal
Ions of mash. Eleven other stills were found,
but as they were not running they could not
be molested. The raid occupied eight days.
Representative Filkenburg will endeavor
on Monday by moving a suspension of rules
to introduce bill prepared by the Committee
on Commerce, and have the same set for dis
cussion next week. The bill creates a bureau
Of immigration, but places the whole matter
under the control of Secretary of the Treas
ury, and with the Superintendent at New
York, and makes United States collectors at
all other ports ex-officio superintendent of
immigration and all Communication money, and
provides for great reforms in transportation
by sea and land, and for ample protection af-
ter arrival in this country.
