HEAVY ROBBERY.
The Paymsster Of the Port Royal Rail-
road R0bbed-His Trunk Broken
Open Sunday-FOUr Hundred
Dollars Taken.

Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel, ,sth.I
An unusually heavy robbery for this
latitude was committed on Sunday, a
short distance from the city. Mr.. Kir-
lin, Of the firm Of Kirlin, Callaghan &
Co, contractors on the road, is paymas-
ter Of the hands, and stationed at Sand
Bar Ferry, where the bridge across the
Savannah river is being built. Last Sun
day he had in his tent a trunk which
contained about one thousand dollars in
currency. Between the hours of eleven
and one o'clock he left his tent for the
purpose Of experimenting some work
going on in the river-the contractors
being obliged to have labor done on the
Sabbath in order to escape the fall fresh
cts which will be here a little later in
the season. He remained at his work
for ABOUT two hours and then returned
70 his quarters for dinner. On entering
the tent he was, Of course, much sur
prised to find that his trunk had been
forced during his absence and was lying
open. An examination Of its contents
proved that it had been robbed Of four
hundred and forty-four 3ollars-the re-
naming five hundredand fifty-six dollars
not having been touched. There was
no positive evidence pointing TO the per-
petratOr of the act, but the cook Ia color
ed man was arrested on suspicion-he
having been in the immediate proXim-
ity Of the tent during the absence Of
Colonel Kirlin. On yesterday morning
3 cOlored boy in this city, supposed to
have been an accOmplice in the trans
action, was also arrested and placed in
the guardhouse; but in the afternoon il
was discovered that there was no evil
denee against him and he was released
from custody. Up to yesterday after
noon, late, none Of the stolen money had
been recovered, though the police were
actively engaged in attempting TO work
up the case. 1t was certainly a very
bold and successful robbery.

ST. LOUIS.
The New Merchants Exchange = Carl
Schurz's View Of the Political
Field-Fearfnl Consequences
Of Grants Election.

ST. LOUIS, October 15,-At meeting
of the stockholders Of the new Mer-
chants Exchange yesterday, an issue OF
one million dollars in twenty-year bonds
was authorized. II is expected that the
purchase Of the block bounded by Third
and Fourth, and Chestnut and Pine
streets viii be made at once, and speedy
preparations made for the erection of
one Of the finest buildings in America.
Senator SchurZ made a speech at St.
Charles, last night in which he said
that the Liberals intended to vigorously
fight TO the end Of the campaign; that
that there was nothing in the events
which had just taken place, and in the
circumstances surrounding them, which
would in any way dampen the spirit of
the men engaged in the Liberal move
ment. He said that if Grant was re-
elected the country would witness the
most corrupt administration it had ever
seen. He denied that there was freedom
of election in the South, and prophesied
that the time would come when they
would have 10 fight fire with fire, force
with force, and the country would
witness the deplorable results seen in
Mexico and South America. He said
InaI IOur years nom now they might be
forced to elect Grant for the third time,
and they would not be able to help
themselves, for in that time would he
be able TO elect himself. He stated that
he had always been a Republican, al
ways advocated the principles of that
party, always indorsed its course, and
that the principles which he advocated
as a Republican are his principles and
his course still. He had never
deviated from them, and he now re-
ioiced in the virtual accomplishment
all he ever contended for. He acknowl-
edged reverses, and that the issues of
the campaign are doubtful, but the con-
elusion he drew was that there being
danger, they must prepare for it; if they
had difficulties to conquer, they must
put forth every effort they had. There
were terrible odds against them, but so
Ong as there is a fight, so long is there
nope Of victory.

Upon an appeal from the decision Of
the Examiner Of Trademarks, Acting
Commissioner Thacher has given the
following highly interesting decision IN
a case involving the use Of Masonic
symbols as a trademark. In the
matter Of the application Of John T..
Tolle, for theregistration Of trademarks
Applicant is q manufacturer and vend-
er Of -four in the city Of 81. Louis. He
has two establishments upon streets,
ald he seeks to register as trademarks,
70 be used upon the barrels containing
bis -four, the words, "Cherry-Strcet
Mills" in one case, and 'Market-Street
Mills,n in the other, combined respect
lively with a well-knOwn Masonic en-
hlem. the square and compass. The
Acting Commissioner decides that IN
view OF the universally Of Masonry, the
mystic tie that binds all nations IN one
common fraternity, and the unchange-
able characteristics Of emblems appeal
ing With the same force TO the brother
hood IN all parts Of the earth, it is i'm
possible 10 divest these symbols, or at
least this particular symbol, perhaps the
best known Of all, OF its ordinary signifi-
cation wherever displayed, either as an
arbitrary character or otherwise. II
viii be universally understood or misln-
derstood as having a Masonic signid-
cance, therefore rs a trademark must
constantly work deception"
The Commissioner adds: 81 lm clear
ly Of the opinion, therefore, that the pro-
posed combinations cannot properly
subserve the ends Of q Trademark
Among Masons, with whom this token
has moral significance, its use In that
capacity would undoubtedly be regarded
as a base prostitution Of it 20 mercenary
purposes, while with Others its mystic
force would often dissipate its virtues
as a trademark, and perhaps, in some
instances, place the article II appeared
upon under ban. Thus, If these trade
marks could be sanctioned they would
tend TO defeat the fundamental object Of
the trademark law, which Is an OiishOot
Of the ancient claw merchant and,
ike that, designed 10 advance trade and
manufactures. The decision Of the ex-
sminer Of trademarks must be affirm

Resolutions Unanimously Adopted
by THE
Central johnson Club OF Memphis.
October 8, Is72.

Resolued, In the language unanimously
adopted by the Tennessee Democratic state
vention, held at Nashville, June, 1875, three
years after every act OF President JohnsOn's,
70 which even the most ultra partisan could
object, had become htstOry.) 1'Ihat Andrew
johnson. in the discharge Of his great func-
tions as President Of the United states, at a
period OF trying and unprecedented embar-
rasSment has rendered his name IlustriOus
by the fidelity with which he has sought to
preserve, protect and defend the Constitution
against the assault Of n revolutionary faction I;
and in his recent signal triumph in that be-
nalf has earned the gratitude Of the Amert-
can people, and rendered himself worthy OF
the highest mark Of confidence that may be
bestowed on him."
Resolved, Also, (in the words of the Mem
phis APPEAL, Of August Y, l643), That she
we condemn, but many more that we approve.
he Is perhaps the sOundest. II we may not say
the pTofOundest, the most philOsophie think
er of the day; and while admiring the grand
proportions OF his massive intellect, and con-
fessing his patriotism, we cannot find in our
hearts to become querulous and stupidity com
plain because there are spots on the glowing
face Of the god Of day. Let us hear the phil
osopher and statesman and profound thinker,
and whateye of personal faults may be
ascribed to him they can be no greater or
grander than his original and admirable
genius for craftsmanship"
ReSOlued, Also, lin the language OF the Nash
vile Union and ADlericdH after the nOmina-
ton Of General Cheatham by the convention
which met al Nashville. in August lastl, That
"none deny the personal worth Of General
Cheatham, but there seems TO us, and, as
Tennessee, a peculiar fitness in the selection
OF ex-President Johnson at this time, both
because Of his great ability and his loyalty to
the Union during the war"
