Extensive Bank Robbery.

The bankers and bank officers in
Baltimore on Monday last were much
excited, each asking tho other what
they should do to save their deposits.
Nor were they needlessly alarmed or
their fears excited without cause
The successful entrance of burglars
into tho vaults of the Third National
Bank, bank as well guarded as their
own, between Saturday evening and
Monday morning was sufficient TO put
them on the inquiry. This robbery is
said to be one of the most bold, daring
and successful ever pcrpctrated in the
United States.
1t appears that about tho middle Of
June two young men rented for three
months the first story of the building
adjoining tho bank and, under tho
name of Stabler 4 Co, profcssed to be
conducting thriving grain and com
mission business. SO thought all the
world and their neighbors, the bank
officers, until Monday morning, whcr
the teller of the bank upon opening
the vault found it dcspoiled Of its con
tents, and hole about large enough
for man TO enter communicating will
the private Office of Stabler & Co.
The burglars, to effect an entrance,
bored through about forty inches o
brick wall and an inner casting O.
boiler iron half an inch thick. In tn,
vault they found a large Lillys ,th'
door of which was forced open and th,
valuable effects gone.
The loss to the bank is ascertaine,
to be $4,000 in bank notes and bonds
The loss to private depositors, wh'
left their valuablos there for safe keep
ing, was greater. Their combined los
is variously estimated at from $4,000
to $500, 900.
The burglars left behind them n com
plote set Of tools made of the best ma
tcrial and of the finest finish amonj
them nest OF files, somo an eight G
nm inch thick and others much larger
An experiment made with one Of Ill
smallest disclosed capacity to cut n
iron bar nearly two inches thick a
inch deep in less than two minutes.
A reward ofSl0,000 has been offcrc
for the recovery of the stolen propert
of the bank, or proportion for pa
tial recovery.
1t is needless to say Stablcr & c.
have vacated their newly rented qual
ters.

ONE OF BENEFITS FANoIEs.-Wo
find by the papers that ono of the fan
cies of the late James Gordon Bennett
was to have in his house an aviary Of
rare birds and fowls. These were pro-
cured from all parts ofthe eglobe, regard,
less of expense. Sometimes ho would
stand for hours observing the habits
OF the ioathered captives From long
observation he appears to have found
resemblances in them to various pub
lie men. Standing once with friend
he pointed out the charac.orizations.
pointing to the robin, he said that is
Henry Wilson; the woodpecker is
Ben Butler; the old goose is Sumner;
the sparrow is Logan the owl is
Grant; the parrot is Garrett Davis |;
the old gobblor is Conkling; the crow
is Fred Douglass; the hawk is Wen
dell Phillips; and the canary is Sunset
Cox" Some of these comparisons arc
felcitous. Gobbler Conkling certainly
is, with all his vanity and strut, his
puffings and lordly airs. Some Of
them are poor for SO shrewd a reader
of character as Mr.. Bennett. Why
tho woodpecker resembles Butler, il
treated as q conundrum, is one that
we give up at once. It's pity iherc
was no buzzard in tho collection, that
this disgrace would not have failon
upon the poor woodpecker. The cold
goose" for Sumner may pass, but tho
hawk for Wendell Phillips is doing
that fierce bird injustice. The stormy
petrol, would, perhaps, have been bet
ter.

TO an invitation to promote meeting

ing that "will, on consultation with
other true democrats in your tmy)
congressional district, select two, three
or more good men to 60 as delegates
to Louisville"
Though five names are signed TO
your letter, my intimacy with the
leading democrats of your city extends
to no one but your chairman, William
B. Sipes. Him knew as sort of
attache to the consul to Belfast, under
President Pierce, but who fell from
grace as soon as the democrats we're
in minority, and joined the more
powerful enemy.

Greely and Brown, held at the Girard
house in this city, on the 18th inst
Until the receipt of your letter | was
not aware that any such sale bad been
held at the Girard house, or elsewhere.
As do not know any OF you us

know what meeting, held at the
Girard house on the 18th instant, or
at any other place or time, constituted
you a "Committec Of Correspondence.
What democratic statesman presided

organized What resolutions did
it pass!
You do not propose TO put the pres

TO TIE VOTERS OF MONTGOMERY
COUNTY.


Having been honorcd with the nom
nation by Your County Convention, |
come before you as a candidate for the
Office of jailcr.
Where there were so many aspirants
for the office, and so many good men
among the aspirants, it was a difficult
and delicate task for the convention to
make a choice, but. it has made one,
and / trust | shall receive at the hands
of each one of my former competitors
and all their friends the same hearty
support and endorsement that | should
have accorded any one of them who
might have been nominated in my
place.
| ask this support and endorsement
because | need it. The Democratic
majority in this county is not so large
but that little Indifference on the
part of my friends may overcome it.
and result in the election of Mr.. Rich
The Convention was an evident ne
cessity. With our vote dividcdamonp
a score of candidates, the defeat of all
of them was forcgone conclusion
and the election of a full Radical tick
ct certainty. Nothing would have
suited the Radicals better than for Us
to have dispensed with this convention
left all our candidates in the field, and
let their man walk over the track
They will do-they are doing all in
their power to create dissatisfaction as
to the result; but the issue is plain
the choice is between myself and the
Radical candidate. Undoubtedly, in
several districts, the people would have
preferred some one else for the nomi.
nation, but every one could not have
his choice. The convention has set.
tied the matter, aud every vote against
mysclf-no matter for whom polled-
every refusal. to go to the polls, is a
vote for Rich.
Our enemies have been in the field
for some time. They have worked
early and late. They have held mid,
night meetings of the negroes, often
unknown to the white people, in all
parts of the county. Novote of theirs
will be lost, and unless our people
arouse from their fancicd security and
put forth equal effort, the first Thurs
day in August may see a Radica
elected anl the work of the convention
thrown away.
1t will be impossible for me to SOC
you all before election day, but | mos
earnestly request every man who has
the good of the cause at heart, every
man who prefers Democrat to a Rad
zeal, every man who desires to see oul
Offices iillcd by our own people, TO b,
at his post aud give me all the help he
can on that day.
IfIam elected, I shall discharge
my duty to the best of my ability.
shall endoayor to reward the conf
dence rcposed in me by the County
with cluse attention ohcr interest ant
shall treat every prisoner whom she
consigns TO my care with humanity.
