Attempt 10 Force a Bank Vauit-(suBpOVdor
Tried by the burglars.
This morning, when one of the clerks in the
employ of the Bank of Commerce arrived at the
bank building, corner of Nassau and Cedar
streets, he found that be could not open the
door. Satisfied that the lock had been tampered
with, a locksmith was sent for, who picked the
lock and the door was opened. On entering 1t
was found that bold attempt had been made
by burglars to force open the doors OF the vault,
containing great amount of treasure, but
happily without success.
The burglars had opened the door with
skeleton key, and drilled large holes in the door
of the vaults, which they filed with powder. In
this powder fuse was inserted aud fired by
means of pistol charged with powder. The
pistOl was fired by means of a long cord attached
to the trigger which cord led out of the front
door, and was pulled when all the burglars
had left the building. The force of the
explosion forced the vault doors open to the
extent of two inches, and the conclusion was so
loud as to awaken the janitor, who slept on the
upper floor of the building, and hls presence
warned the burglars not to return. The janitor
found the doors locked, and the burglary was
not discovered until the clerk arrived to open
the bank this morning. The burglars left be-
hind several cans of gunpowder, heavy sledge
hammer, several wedges three small pistols,
several brad-awls, a Jimmy" and other bur-
glarious implements. No clue to the u,glars
has been obtained by the police.-M Y. Express,

New YORK, March 20.-Rio Janeiro advices

II has recently been discovered in The province
of Minas Geraes that combination existed
among the slaves, whose object was to obtain
their liberty by force. In pursu .uce of this aim,
three bun1red slaves be'on ring to so ne fa-
ciendas adj lining tn gold N mes OF the E lglish
companies In the province, had attempted to in
duce large bodies of slaves employed in them to
raise with tht m the standard of liberty, in the
expectation, whether well-grouuded or not is
yet unknown, that the slaves of other faciendas
would rally at once to their flag of liberty, and
that the movement would speedily extend
throughout the empire. Fortunately, however,
before the arrangements for the projected in
surrection had matured the plot was discovered,
and some thirty ringleaders arrested, thus stop
ping the perilous movement for the present.
The Anglo-Brazian Times says, however, it is
greatly to be feared that the intended insurrec-
tien is, though postponed, too ominous an indi-
cation that the beginning of the end is rapidly
approaching to us, for it has in truth been
utterly impossible to conceal from the slaves Of
the empire that only in Brazil on the American
continent are there any human beings held in
bondage.

Special Despatch to the EUeniilg Telegraph.
WASHINGTON, March 20.-It is generally be-
lieved here that upon the return of President
Grant he will send 10 the Senate the name of
General Charles NJ. Prevost of your city, as the
successor of Collector Moore. This nomination,
il is believed will give satisfaction to all parties
and it is undoubtedly intended as a compromise
which will serve 10 unite the Kelley and the
Cameron factions. General Provost is we'll
known here as a gentleman of unblemished
character and of excellent business attainments,
and he has besides first-rate war record which
entitled him to consideration. He was for two
years Deputy Collector at Philadelphia under
Collector William D. Lewis, SO that he
thoroughly understands the routine of the Gus
tom House, and there is no doubt that he will
make an efficient and popular collector.

THE SPRING FRESHETS.
Hish Water In tho Susauehanna aud the
Northern Part of Pennsylvania.

The Harrisburg State Journal SAYS
The danger of a freshet disastrous in its con-
sequences is not yet averted and considerable
apprehension still exists among those most ex-
posed. Our exchanges in the northern part of
the State, and along the West Branch, note
rapid rise in that section. These tributaries
empty into the Susquehanna, and swell its
volume of water, and a freshet at the head
waters is contemporaneous with freshet In this
vicinity. Yesterday the river was rising at the
rate of an inch and half an hour, aud there
was q prospect that the Lochiel works and many
of the manufactures in the lower part of the
city would be compelled to temporarily suspend
operations owing to the encroachments of high
water. The equinoctial storm, which is an
nounced for the early part of next week, will
not serve to abate the fear of those residing in
the low and marshy grounds; aud should it be
unusually severe or protracted, freshet similar
to that of 1865 is among the range
of possibilities. There is no pros
pect of the rafting season being inaugurated
for two or three weeks yet, owing to the high
water and swift current 1t would be well for
those residing in the range of a flood to be pre-
pared at any moment for the most serious
danger
