scoundrels broke in the outer and
inner doors of the vault; opened the
several cases OF s~arcophagus, and
we're about to make off with the re.
mains when the detectives sprang
out. The accidental discharge of
a pistol alarmed the robbers, and
they fed preclpitous'y, escaping in

A touching incident is that of the
sister of the notorious Younger boys
visiting them in Jail. She fell on her
knees ny her youngest brother, kiss
cd and caressed him and called him
by endearing names. She was loud
in the reproaches of her older broth
ers for leading him astray, and met
them with dry eyes and a cold shake
of the hand. Even the hardened
Cole and Rob Younger seem to be
more interested in the fate Of their
brother than concerned about their
ewn.

ELECTION NEWS.

ST. CHARLES COMMUNICATING
was quiet in St. Charlea. The city
pollsd 1867 votes, against 1872 in
the last presidential election. In
view of an actual, though small, do
crease in population, the result is a
matter of surprise, as the difference
is 1856.
An increased vote is also appar.
ent at the precincts. Whether or
not there was illegal voting we have
no means of knowing, and we can
not without proof think with those
who suppose there was.
1t will be soen that this county
gives a Democratic majority, On the

full States in this election, for their
voice will decide our destiny o
veal OF
1t will take all of them to elect
Hayes, any one of them will elect
Tilden; and by the latest returns we
see that without doubt Florida has
gone Democratic by a handsome ma
jority, and the other two States VIII
swing into the same line if left UNI
trameled: and we don't contemplate
war or any serious trouble at all.

Leading men of both parties have

without a doubt it will be given tt
the right man. They will claim it az
long as they can, but in the end trutf

This election has struck a heavy
blow at the party in power. and they
unused to defeat are 10th to give up
and like a drowning man grasping al
a straw, will feed their morbid hopes
on mere "wind," till finally they will.
be frightened by the glorious bril-
liancy of the Democratic victory.

to say with a CHASTITY grin, 'the pres

abuse of authority they lost the pow

careful, by abuse of power they will
be entirely annihilated, for all mel
of honor and truth loving their coun-
try will forsake the party, and it will
be known no more forever, except as
a thing of the past; and the only re-
minder that will he left as a memento
of this "noble" institution will be a
