THE LOSSES.

Two large safes in the vault were
cut into and robbed. A third safe
was not entered. 1t is now stated
that between twenty and twenty
five depOsitors' boxes were robbed
and the widest statements are cur
rent on the street to the effect that
the losses by depOsitors in money,
bonds and other securities will
reach half a million. Among the
bonds certainly stolen are S75, 900 in
City of Louisville Water Loan Cou-
pom Bonds.

The officers of the Third National
Bank set forth the losses by bur-
glars as follows: s., 200 in green
backs and national bank notes, of
which eight notes were of 100 each,
and twenty-four notes of fifty each
of the Third National bank. The
following bonds held as collateral
securities: Northern Central rail-
road, $500; North Carolina State
bonds, II 800; Marietta and Cincin-
natl railroad bonds, 1000; United
States $40 bonds, 1900; Western
Maryland railroad bonds, 1000.
The bank offers $4,000 reward for
the recovery of the above and q
pro rate sum for every partial re-
covery. The individual losses of
depositors, having deposits in the
vaults, cannot be ascertained, so
many of them are out of town. The
total losses will probably amount 10

Greelsr,r Por,inna speech.

We copy, on the first page OF our
paper this week, the substance of q
speech delivered by Horace Greeley
the other day, at Portland, Maine,
on the occasion Of his public receP-
ton in that city. 1t is an admirable
speech, in every respect, and strikes,
with a master hand the keynote of
victory in November. Mr.. Greeley
had resolved not to indulge in any
speech making, pending his candi-
dacy; but the occasion there was so
good, and the propriety OF his max
ing an address to the people so appa-
rent, that he could not resist the
temptation to say what he did.
Every word of the speech has its
own significance, and not one could
have been omitted without marring
its beauty, prOprioty and force.
Horace Greeley has given utterance
to nothing silly or improper, since
his nomination. On the contrary
his every utterance has vindicated
the wisdom of his nomination.

The Quagga a Substitute for the
Horse.

Probablymos Of our readers know no moro
OF the quagga than what they have learned
py seeing Its pictures in the school geogra-
phies or in books of African travels. Many
naturallsts think that Africa was the original
country OF the horse. and there is very little
doubt that 1t was in Northern Africa that the
morse was first brought under the subsection
OF man. In Africa also the quagga is found,
ana there, in like manner, it has been domes-
ucated. Inc quagga has the form. light fig
ure, and small head and ears of the horse.
1t is swift and strong, docile and obedient.
and easily dOmesticated. It is capable Of
every variety Of service performed by the
morse, and naturalists say that, by little
care on the part OF man, it might be rendered
an exceedingly valuable beast of burden. 1t

Slow Poisoning from Green Wall
Paper.

A physician in Western Massachusetts,
recently had lady patient who, for several
weeks, had been suffering from nausea, gen.
eral prostration, and other symptoms of slow
poisoning. Failing to discover tie cause Of
the symptoms, as a last resort the doctor
requested her to move from her chamber, the
walls OF which were covered with paper of a
very light shade of green, so light, indeed,
that in the evening it could scarcely be dis.
tinguished from white. After leaving the
room the symptoms immediately disappeared,
and the patient rapidly recovered A SAM
pie of the paper was forwarded for analysis
to the State chemist at Hartford, (AIr Joseph
Hall, of the High SCHOOL, and was found to
contain a large quantity of arsenic. Mr..
Hall obtained the poison in the various forms
of metallic arsenic. He estimates that every
square foot of this innocent-looking paper
contained an amount Of the poison equlva-
lent to five grains Of arsenious acid, or dou-
BILE the fatal dose for an adult person. This,
in the most warm weather of last July and

room would be as certainly poisoned as

The Sabbath Laws.

Mr.. EDITOR: In the ERA Of the 2lst ult.,
we notice an article entitled, "Gerrit Smith
to the Anti-Dramshop Party" The writer
inserts some paragraphs in the same, hugely
militant against the Christian Sabbath, and
among other faults he ascribes to the prohi-
bition party, he asserts that it has become
frantic in its appeals to tho bigoted and SUI
perstitious for the protection Of the Sabbath
laws. He declares that the Jew, and the
Seventh-day Baptist, and the man who be-
lieves in no Sabbath at all, are grossly out
ragged by our Sabbath laws, and demand
their repeal. But why is the Jew, or he who
believes in no Sabbath, any more outraged by
our Sabbath laws than we all are by the
Christian principle that underlies our Govern
ment and laws, and which requires morality
of us all alike? The rumseller and the free
lover would like to have our laws repealed
that are so distasteful to them; but shall the
laws be repealed enforcing temperance and
chastity Cor their freedom Of conscience ?
The correspondent says, "The plea that
our nation is, by its Constitution, a Christian
nation, and that all its people are therefore
bound to conform to Christian nsages, is one
that only ignorance or dishonesty can offer"
Does the writer mean that our Constitution
and Government are not Christian, and there
fore we are not bound to conform to its usages
and laws, or does he admit that it Is Chris.
tian, and yet we are not to observe its usages
and lawss Nay, If our Government Is not
Christian, and does not acknowledge the
Christian Sabbath, what is it-Pagan, Inf

DENVER, Dec. l, 1872.
To the EDITOR of the Nep National Era:
As the planets and planatory systems move
in circles or rings in the broad sweep of in
finite space, so do men, in some degree, also
move. The planets, however, are ever har-
monious in their movements, but it is not ex-
actly so with man and his movements; not
so with the actions of even very great men,
for they, sometimes, come around into con-
flict with themselves, as has been lately
shown by conspicuous national instance
ending in sudden and almost untmely death.
But while ace-and I doubt not the entire
colored people of the nation-are sensible of
the great mistake of Hon. Horace Greeley's
life, we shall, nevertheless, remember with
the profoundest gratitude his past great servi-
ces to our cause in the darker days Of the Re-
public, when the New York Tribune was en-
phatically power in the land. Ay! VIC,
too, in common with the rest of mankind,
will ever cherish happy remembrance of
Mr.. Greeley's virtues, rather than contemn
his mistakes and eccentricities. And as we
live in sight of the primary planets of our
solar system, so do we live in sight-through
the eye of history and the living eye-of our
planatory men, so let the examples of the latter
serve as beacon lights to the lesser ones.
No one can exactly ten what will be the pro-
gressire changes by the time four years moro
shall have rolled around. They may be
greater than we have yet dreamed Of have
faith to believe, however, that whatever
changes shall take place in the moral and
political world, there will arise men equal to
the times. So let us continue to "labor and
watt
l have been mindful, watchful, of your
great philanthropic services in the late Presi.
dental campaign, and I have been payticu-
larly pleased with the due respect with which
you have always treated the subject Of Mr..
Greeley. Well, my dear brother, know
that you have labored long and zealously fol
the good of mankind, and do earnestly hope
that you may yet, in your old age, and in the
not distant future, receirc some adequate re'care
for the great work you have done.
Your earnest friend and brother,
