The Clarksville Chronicle says THE
boldest daylight robbery we ave heard
Of for long time, was committed in this
place, on Sunday evening last The house
of Mr.. Estes, worthy citizen, was the
scene of the cowardly and brutal act
Ne being from home, in answer to a
modest knock at the door, Mrs Estes
opened it, the thief entered, and flourish
ing murdo-ous looking knife, threatened
instant death, if she did not hand him
the sixty dollars, he knew was in the
house. as almost any other derenseless
woman would have done she produced
the money, whereupon the fiend struck
her to the floor aud kicked her, inilicting
sore bruises, and then made his escape.
This incident teaches two valuable les
sons-one is that people should not keep
money in the house, and the other is,
that every hireliGg is a SPY upon the
/ family, and should be kept in ignor>
ance Of its financial operations"

Can This Re Sol

AS double,leaded editorial we fined
the following in the Louisville Ledger
of the 25th instant:
HORACE GREELEY INSANE.
'The Geographic announcement that
Horace Greeley has become the victim of
insanity, will create throughout the
length and breadth of the land feelings
Of profound commisseration, and with a
large number of people the misfortune
will be regarded in the light of nation l
calamity Viewed from any standpoint
the verdict must be that Horace Greeley
is a great man. StaTt:ng from the lowly
walks of life-alone and unaided, he has,
by his industry and native ability, placed
himself securely by the side Of the great
men of the country, past AMI present :
and in this hour of his great adver,ity,
the great and the good of the land will
not fail to place upon record their admi-
rution of his intellectual triumphs and of
his purity of character"
"The severity of the ordeals through
which Mr.. Greeley has of late been cal-
led to pass, few are capable of estimating
None can know how intimately interwe-
ven was his hearts affections with those
of the wife of his bosom, who so recently
has been taken from him. None ear
know the strain which the recent presi'
Dental campaign brought to bear uPor
his mental faculties, and with death IL
his home and defeat at the polls, hi.
great mind has succumbed. Before sucl
misfortune all partisan asperities "r'
hushed-as they would be ut the grave
1t is to be hoped that the affection viii
prove but temporary, and that the an
nouncement will be made that Horace
Greeley's great mind, which has in many
ways contributed to tile good of man
kind, will soon be as clear and as health
"a at any period of his life"

At one time it was positively stated
that Louisiana went fer Greeley, but now,
from the following dispatch to she \. Y.

untrue:

ANOTHER EFFORT TO BE MADE.

The city Council is about to make
a fresh effort to haul the corporation out
of the financial embarra ssments which
now Cypress it. To this end an ordinance
has been prepared which vests the Fiscal
Agent-the Louisiana Savings Bank
with authority to place the gold bonds au-
thOrized by act No. 70, Of the last session,
on the London or other market for sale at
the minimum rate Of ninety cents on the
dollar. We learn there is a prospect of
effecting loan Of two million pounds ster-
ling or ten millions of dollars, in case the
ordinance is adopted and the required au-
thority given to the Fiscal Agent
With the proceeds of the sale of the
bonds the Fiscal Agent is required to take
up all the floating debt Of the city, and
meet payments upon maturing bonds.
The law also authorizes some such ex-
change Of bonds, bearing interest at a rate
of not less than seven per cent, for the new
gold bonds for not less than ninety cents
on the dollar for the latter. If, however,
the whole ten millions of bonds are sold for
cash the old bonds may be bought in by
the city before maturity from the lowest
bidders.
The same act limits the debt of the city
to S23, OOO, 900.
The success Of this scheme, and it looks
feasible, will be followed by many sub
stantial benefits. It will bring relief to
the numerous creditors of the city, who
are now compelled to carry immense sums
of non-interest bearing obligations, mostly
in the shape Of certificates of appropri-
alton, school teachers certificates and
Metropolitan Police checks. Some one
has to lose the interest on all these evil
denees of debt, and it makes no difference
IN the light Of justice whether it is the
city or the holders. 1t is a hardship in
either case, and should be avoided. For
lh9st OF the supplies furnished the city.
the mode Of paying is taken into account,
and the discount on its treasury certi-
feates is added to the bill when practie-
able. The rates Of salaries and the prices
Of commodities furnished under old con-
tracts are fixed by law or usage, and the

satisfied all good men, without distinction
of color, are in favor of reform in the
civil service Of the country.
We have said that the largest part of the
three unequal parts into which the old
Republican party has been divided is
headed by Governor Warmoth, and we
will conclude by saying the smaller part
is headed by Packard, Casey and com
pany who are VIGOROUSLY known as the
Customhouse clique, working in the in
