KNOXVILLE Iowa, Oct. 1.-Two
masked men entered the county
treasurcr's office a: 1870 last night
with pistols and knives, forced treas
urer to open the safe, took about $751;
900, locked the treasurer in the safe
and departed southwark on horse
back. The robbery was discovered
in half an hour, and the treasurer
released. No clue to the robbers. A
reward of Ten THOUSAND DOLLARS is
offered. JOURNAL.
This is the second time that Ma
rion county has suffered similar loss
the amount four or five years ago be-
ing about $4,000. The present
Treasurer is Democrat, and was
elected principally on the hobby and
by the agreement that he would not
deposit the money in bank.
This crazy notion has cost that
county $4,000. Again, the safe is
an old cIap-trap, and the Board re-
fused to get a better. Ten per cent.
Of the loss would have bought rous-
ing good one. The whole affair is a
peculiar one, and we are not prepar-
ed at present to give an opinion.
LATER AND FURTHER PARTICULARS.
Special to the HERALD.
A special from the Journal says that
at o'clock Tuesday evening, it was
discovered that the county treasury
had been robbed. The city was
aroused by the ringing of the fire
bell. The Treasurer, r. M. Faris,
was in his office for an evenings
| work on his books, when two men
in masks came in, and he says pre-
scented a revolver to his head and
demanded that he should open the
safe. He refused. They backed
him up to the vault, with two revol-
vers at his head, and made repeated
demands to open the safe. He re-
peatedly refused, and one of them

cuts at him, grazing his clothes, when
he scared, and opened the safe. They
then distracted about $4,000 in
money and some papers, and pro-
cecded to lock Faris is the vault; he
plead with them not to do so, as his
health would not stand it, but they
paid no attention to him. He re-
manned there about 40 minutes, and
was released by the night-watch,
whose attention he attracted by
pounding on the door.
In 1867 the same treasury was
robbed of $4,000, and neither rob-
Der nor money has since been heard
Of The treasurer at that time as
now was Democrat, and the people
begin TO believe it about time to
change. 1t is said the robbers de-
clared themselves to be the James
brothers.

Gen. Hawley, made this point in
his Hartford Comm speech, Satur'
day evening:
"You can't sell millions of dollars
of four and one-half per cent. bonds
to August Belmont the great Demo,
cratic leader, when he believes that
the Nations affairs are corruptly ad,
ministercd, and when, in his opinion,
the administration is going to remain
in the control Of the same party
Foreign capitalists don't know partieS,
they study the value Of bonds as a
money question, and they judge them
by the reputation Of the Government
for honesty. There could be no
stronger argument for the integrity
of the Republican administration"

SAN Francisco, Cal.-The effects
of the Ohio and Indiana elections
can hardly be considered very
marked here. Some of the more
sanguinary Democrats profess 10 be
lieve that the election of Williams
will have the effect TO throw Califor.
MIA into the ranks of Democratic
states, and the rank and file of the
party seem to gain increased conf
dence. Republican leaders scout the
idea that the result will have any
effect on the vote of the State. The
reduction of majority of 1874 in In,
diana is victory under the circum,
stances, and that while there may
possibly be some room for doubt as
TO the result in this city the interior
is good for Il handsome Republican
majority in November.

fromo to two miles each, and they are
pushing ahead rapidly. Suitable side

After ths Battle.

" TIE LEADER said Yesterday that
the setting Of the sun would signalize
the closing Of the greatest political
contest the world has ever known.
These words were true; The battle of
the ballots ended when the last rays Of
the setting san gilded the golden spires
of 'Friseo;s stately churches. The
smoke of battle and the sable mantle of
night closed down upon - weary land,
and the slow and tedious work of
counting the votes has since been going
on. At this hour the returns are not
received in full and those that are in
are 30 indefinite as to leave the final
result still in doubt.
THE LEADER has taken an active
part in the campaign, and we fiatter
ourselves that our labors have not been
without effect. We entered the IAN
vass "with malice toward none, with
charity for all,n and have endeavored
to advocate the claims of our candi-
dates without the use of anything like
unreasonable or slandcrous abuse of
their opponents, as our readers will
ch%eerfully bear witness. William w.
Corlett has been elected to represent
Wyoming in Congress for the next two
years, and we have the proud conscious
ness of knowing that we are to be
represented by a gentleman, a scholar,
and better than all, a true, tried and
popular citizen of Wyoming.
THE LEADER now returns to its
legitimate sphere-the dissemination of
news, especially in regard to Wyoming
and her northern Ell Dorado, the Black
Hills and contiguous mining districts.
We shall make it the best paper in this
territory and the equal of any other
journal published in the Rocky Noun
tain region, and to aid us in our pur-
pose we ask from the people of Wyo-
ming and the west a continuance of the
hearty support and encouragement we
have received in the past, promising to
deserve it.
We nail the banner Of Progress to
the mast and shall press bravely on
ward and upward, hoping that our
humble efforts in advancing the in
terests Of Wyoming may not be all in
vain

Al b Polls.

Matters were decidedly lively about
the polls yesterday, and yet everything
moved like clockwork. Carriages came
and went in great ~profusion, and each
candidate had his men upon the ground
working like heroes for their respective
tickets. Many ladies came bravely to
the front and voted, and we are pleased
to chronicle the fact that but very few
OF them were challenged. While speak
ing of challenges, we wish to say that
one or two youths who have no possible
interest in the welfare Of our Territory,
stationed themselves at the polls and,
by their arrogance Disguised every voter
who approached the window. Every
citizen who listened to their saucy
challenges went away Disguised, and a
fitting rebuke vas administered by a
member of THE LEADER staff, whose
vote was challenged, and who openly
remarked: s'If some of these challengers
would irrigate their brains with a flow
of common sense, they would gain more
respect. I'VE are glad to statethat very
few challenges were sustained, and the
arrogant young roosters left the polls
with dropping feathers, much to the
delight of every honest voter who had
occasion to visit the window.
As usual, our election was character
lied by a feeling of good nature and
fairness, and nothing whatever trans
PRED to maj. the harmony of the occa-
sion, excepting the work of the beer-in-
spired children above mentioned.

Wouldn't Work.

At the polls, yesterday, when a col
ored man came up to vote, a fellow
gent of color cried out:
81 challenge dat vote"
son what grounds, asked a judge.
"Kase he's de wuss cook dat evan
struck desc hills, an amt wuff noticin'.
He use ter cook at Laramie an depop-
erlated a boardin' house in two weeks.
He's no good citizen. Oats what he
aint."
The challenge was not sustained.
