EARLY on Thursday morning, the

EARLY on Thursday morning, the
18th inst, at WellsbOro. Tloga county
Pa, five masked men effected an en-
trance into the residence of President
Robinson, of the FRS: National Bank,
and gagged and bound the occupants,
President Robinson, Caspar Robinson,
Mrs. Robinson, and Mrs. Smith, a
daughter of Robinson. They then
compelled the cashier to accompany
them to the bank. and throw open the
vault, when they helped themselves to
about $50, 900, principally in currency.
Returning with MIR. Robinson to his
home, they placed the members of the
family facing each other, and told them
to converse freely. They took from the
finger of Mrs. Smith ring valued at
$500, kissed Mrs. Robinson, who faint
ed, and then took their departure in two
carriages, to which we're attached gray
horses. A reward Of S., 900 is offered
for their arrest, or 81 900 for either of
the gang. The people are very much
excited, and it is impossible to obtain
many important points. Iti. supposed
that the robbers have gone to Einira.
The bank has large surplus. and is
solvent.

General Wister.

General Langhoru Wister, nomina-
ted at MifHintown, cn Tuesday last, as
the Republican candidate for Con-
gress in the Eighteenth district, con-
sisting of the counties of Franklin, Full
ton, Huntingdon, Juniata, Perry, and
Snyder, is native of this eity-a son
of William Wister, of Germantown,
long the treasurer of the North Penn
syivsnia Railroad, and a brother OF
cur we'll kroKn iowpsman, William
Rotch Wister.
Langhorn Wister, who is scarcely
more than thirty-uire years of age,
established bis residence at Duncannon
Perry county, upon attaining his ma
jority, and has lived there ever since.
For number of years be was e1ten-
sively engaged in the manufacture of
mon, but laterly his sole occupation
has been farming. In 1861 he raised
a military company, and was assigned
to tie celebrated "Buck.s,l" regiment,
commanded by the late Colonel Charles
j. Biddle. He participated in the
several engagements Of this body. COM

Jen. Davis and His Morse.

In his speech at Memphis the other
day, Jefferson Davis spoke as follows
"Every Southern man in his memory
runs back to the negro woman who
nursed him /; to the boy who hunted
and fished with him to the man who
FIRST taught him to ride and swim; and
as he grew to manhood, the cordia.
welcome given him by the old nurse,
with tenderness scarcely inferior to
that OF his own mother" These SEN
timents we're heartily applauded by the
audience and yet Jefferson Davis, and
probably every other man who was
present, is bitterly opposed to the
Civil Rights bill, because it proposes
to make possible the association of
black children and white children ip
the schools. 1t is rather difficult for
us to perceire why a man who was
sucked By = black woman whom he
remembers with affection, aud who re-
calls with delight the time when he
went fishing and swimming with negro
boys, should regard with horror the
possibility of white child's sitting in a
school room with a young negro. There
is no greater tendency toward social
equality in the latter case than in the
former, anu as Southern children make
piayfellews of the blacks now precisely
as they used to do, it would appear to
be the very insanity of prejudice to
insist that the school system shall be
broken up rather than that the two
races shall receive instruction together
The exp lanation of the matter is that
these people are opposed to the educs-
ton Of the blacks under any sircum-
stances and they mske this promise
Of the possibility of mixed schools tie
absurd excuse for displaying their en-

IT was told of old that the cack.e of
goose once saved Rome. 1t is now
related that q swallow won o suit in
court away down in Texas. A poor
widow and her daughter had q suit for
damages before court in Houston
The counsel for the plaintiff introduced
into his pleading tho fable of the swal-
low that built her nest and reared her
young under the caves of the temple Of
justice. The lawyer enlarged upon the
swallows trust in the protection of her
home the place afforded, and very aptly
made the application to the case before
The court. When the counsel was
about finishing his illustration a swal-
low actually flow in the room and
alighted upon the judges desk. 1t then
hoped away and found rest for the sole
of Its foot on the railing of the jury
box. la its circuit of the courtroom
it halted awhile on pile of law books,
then lowered a moment over the heads
of the plaintiffs, and few out of the
window and away. The counsel con.
eluded BY saying, "Behold the Witness"
and as the witness could not be called
back by the opposing counsel, the case
was given to the jury pretty much as
the swal!ew left it. The jury could
not ignore the birds evidence, and gave
a verdict for the widow. The story is
little birdy, but not in the least fsby.
Ii it was a preconcer,ed plan of the
lawyer it was very happily arranged
and nicely carried out, and deserves
place among court reports and curious
pleadings.-Er

The Late Rebellion in Louisiana,

In November, 1872, State election
was held in Louisiana. John McEnery
and VIM. p. Kellogg we're the caudi-
dates for the Governorship of the State.
The frau ds and violence that character
lied all electors down there since Re-
belliOn against National authority were
strongly marked at that election. In
vestigation developed the fact that boti,
parties practiced in that work extern
sively. The Kellogg party became the
authority of the State within the forms
prescribed by law, and as such admin
istered the Government Its the only
legitimate State authority there, aud
must exist until Superseded by the
election of another State administra-
tion.
The McEnery people, however, have
all tho while pronounced it fraud, an
usurpation, and failed utterly to under
stand that they must '.oide their time"
for redress at the ballot box at the next
election They secretly organized and
armed what is called - The White
League" ard on Monday week arose
in rebellion, after tie manner OF the
Mexicans, and drove the kellogg gov
ernment out of Office, and seized the
State government and placed it in
charge of Mr.. Penn, the Lieutenant
Governor, who was to hold it in charge
for McEuery, until the revolution should
be complete. 1t was deemed proper
by tho "Whlte League" not TO intrusl
McEnery with the affairs of State until
the new order of things had been fairly
established, as he Is in the habit o:
getting drunk, and is not reliable in
such emergeBsies.
Immediately preceding kellogg's
abandonment of the government he de-
spatched to Washington, to The Cen
eral Government, relating the facts Of
rebellion against the State govern
ment of the State of Louisiana, and bis
utter inability to quell it without as
sistance from the Government of the
United States. This call, being made
in consonance with Constitutional
provisions providing for such emergen-
cies in State affairs, President Grant
promptly responded by ordering the
insurgents, turbulent and disorderly
persons to disperse and retire peacsably
10 their respective abodes within FIVE
days, and submit themselves TO the
law and constituted authorities of the
State" Troops were sent to the State
10 enforce this order in case of a fail
to heed 1t On the part Of the insurgents.
By Saturday, however, the State au-
thority had again been returned to
Kellogg, and the trouble is once more
at an end. Many lives were lost by
this late murdercus demonstration of
the "White League"
The South seems to have as little re
gard for the forms of law now as in
1860, and, If she had the power, would
change the administration of affairs as
they change them in Mexico and South
America There is no security for
peace outside of Republican rule.
