TIE BOND ROBBERY IN THE OOMPTROLLER'S
OFFICE IN BROOKLYN.
Reported Restitution.

Last night 1t was stated by Alderman Ropes ID
behalf OF the Comptroller that there had been
$4,000 worth OF bonds stolen from the office, but
they had been recovered. man who pre-
scented the coupons from the bonds for pay
ment at the Nassau Bank was told that the
bonds were stolen. He was taken to the Comp
troller's ONCE, where the coupons were retained,
and the man was allowed to take his departure,
but will probably pc arrested to-day. why
not explained. On Wednesday last, the Alder
man says, the bonds, amounting to $4,000, were
sent from Albany to the Comptroller; 200 worth
OF the bonds which were stolen by one Kersler, the
bond clerk in the COmptroler's ONCE, 1t is said,
was also sent back. AS it is quite impossible to
get into the august presence OF the Comptroller,
the story concerning the robbery and restitution
has to be taken second hand.

The reception given by the Twenty-second real.
ment at the Academy of Music last NIGHT was a
credit not only TO the National Guard, of which tina
command forms so honorable and prominent n
part but to the city OF New York; which feels so
justly proud or Its volunteers. This is, perhaps
saying great deal, but when it is considered
that the regiment is one OF which our citizens
are wont to boast, so tar as skill, equipment and
discipline are concerned when. in fact it is taken
into account that the "Twenty -secondn is re-
garded on all hands as second to none in point Of
all the details which so so far to inspire confidence
and admiration among the community at large,
it would certainly appear strange If the ball
given under the auspices OF its spirited
members were not crowned with that success
which ever follows IN the wake OF liberality and
reputation. In truth, the Academy has not pre-
sented more festive appearance during the
present season. ana 1t would be unfair to the
Twenty-secOnd regiment to say less than that the
annual reception given last night was faultless 1t
is gratifying to think, moreover, that the efforts
OF this worthy organization are 80 thoroughly
appreciated by that class of society whose educa:

given under similar circumstances attracted such

The attendance included many distinguished

Unsucecssful Conservative Caucus to
Nominate q senator in Congress.


Nominate q Senator in Congress.
RICHMOND, Jan. IL, 1874.
The failure to choose by the conservative caucus
a candidate for United States Senator on either
Thursday, Friday or Saturday and the adjourn
ment over until to-day, giving the various aspi-
rants time to negotiate and pull wires, gave fresh
impetus and interest to The subject. This morn
ing, among the members OF the Legislature and
outside politicians, speculation as to the final re-
suit was as wild and much at sea as
ever. Tomorrow, the 18Th inst, vote
must be cast by the General Assembly for
United States Senator, and many experienced
politicians expressed the opinion that II the con
servatives did not act with more unanimity and
decision than they had heretofore manifested they
would disrupt their party.
REPUBLICAN TACTICS.
Apropos OF this the republicans had made no
nomination up to this afternoon their policy being
to await developments from the majority and COM
bine with any dsalIected conservatives they might
find to defeat the caucus nominee OF that
party. One republican informed me there
were two conservative candidates, who, II
defeated, and If their friends would stick
to them, could get the solid republican vote, which
is A. These, with a. or ~ disaffected consery-
atves, would elect the senator. There was, how
ever, very little probability Of such result
STANDING OF THE CANDIDATES.
Prominent among the candidates this morning
was Judge Christian, OF the supreme Court OF APP
peals. There are some half a dozen leading law
yers IN the General Assembly who would like and

| supreme Bench, and in a certain contingency they
| had resolved to put their whole strength forward
for HIM, II for nothing else, TO create the judicial
vacancy, Tor which they would all then be astL
rants.
Above ALL the name Of Mr.. Hunter was spoken Of
| as the probably successful candidate. His friends
were the most enthusiastic and confident, and his
managers on the floor OF the caucus conducted ms
canvass with more ability than did those OF any

1t would be foolish to expect every theatrical
manager to provide for the public dramatic food
OF high, intellectual and pure emotional flavor. In
the present state of civilization there must be a
Bowery as well as Booths, and we have no in
clination TO at the thousands OF orderly and
decent people who can find an evenings enter
tainment outside OF Shakespeare and the legt-
innate. To do so would be Just as absurd as to
quarrel with camp meeting because 1t did not pre-
serve In It's method OF worship ritualistic elegance
and ceremony. At the same time candid and
kindly indication of the faults and absurdities of
those performances which ape the heroic, and
in doing so become the broadcast burlesques upon
honest feeling and correct taste, can do no
harm and may possibly do good. 1t is at least a
little grain OF truth disseminated, and though we
do not believe that that portion of the public
which admires plays of this order will be instan-
taneously converted, 1t is BETTER on the whole,
that the truth should be spoken than hid. Only
one sometimes gets discouraged at reiteratlng
criticisms which to him appear to be platitudes
and which do not seem to produce any proportion
