Boston dispatches of the 9th give
an scc0dht Of a daring robbery of the
NSiion4l BOX at Northampton, on
Tuesday night Of last week. The rob-
bers entered the house Of Cashier
Whittlesey and bound, gagged aud
guarded for hours seven people. They
compelled him to give them the com.
bination of the safe vaults, waited un-
til they knew the night watchman had
gone home, and then, getting into the
vault and safe with only one of the
four keys needed, they took large
amount OF securities. An expert had
TO be summoned from New York, and
the lock was not opened until an early
hour this morning" g."i3ii l4fg7i e'aa
Cashier Whittlesey, when asked to
give the three combinations to the
vault FOR the outer, inner and chest
doors gave them the wrong one twice
and thrice, but the burglars wrote
them down and made him repeat them
Of course they caught him in the at
teinpt to mislead them, and the exhi-
bitioh of pistol compelled him to tell
the truth, though he told themthat four
Keys were necessary to open the pat
cnt locks, three of which were at the
houses of the other bank officers. '7~

was taken toSa down stairs bedroom.
The whole family were gagged, and

crate on the bank. Three hours after
Mrs. Whialesey succeeded i'm freeing
herself and giving the alarm fre,n
window. The whole party were
speedily y liberated, and the cashier still
wearing the handouts, went 10 the
bank A clever workman soon after
fitted a key and all the persons hand

There is every indication that six

A Great Outrage Spoiled.

The Radical papers and politicians
have been bowling like pack ofhye-
mas over what they claim to b a great
outrage. According TO ,hsjr as YER
tions the Clerk of the WaSs andM eana
Committee of tbefIIouscEof RG&eseli-
tatives at Washington has lemb hstrat-
ed that he is an "unregenerated rebel
still. They assert that, since the war
the poor clerk had son born to him
which he named, after John Wilks
Booth, the assassin of President Lin
coin. The facts in reference to the
matter completely knock the sfufiing
out of This Radical scare-crow and
will render it necessary for them to
resort to some other device to revive
the bitter animosities ofthc war. II
turns out that the child which was
born in 1856 and died in 1872 never
bore the name Of Booth, but was nam
ed John Wilks, afterithc English Com
mon:r, and that brother and an un-
Gle of the child's father bore the same
name long before the murder OF Presil
dent Lincoln was thought Of 1t must
be party of great moral ideas that is
driven to such contemplate devices
TO serve its purposes. ii" -i''@7

THE recent trip by the jarrett &
Paimer troupe from New York to
San Francisco, a distance of 3317
miles, in three days and half is a
notable event. 1t brings the ex
tremes of the continent closer to-
gether. Though the rate Of speed
maintained over this vast distance
may not be practicable in ordinary
business, it demonstrates a problem.
1t is no new thing to attain a speed
of a mile a minute, but to make an
average of forty-five miles an hour
for eighty odd consecutive hours is
an achievement which stands by it.

THE DISTRICT CONSPIRACY.

The neglect of the law officers of the District
of Columbia to prosecute the alleged authors
Of the Safe Burglary conspiracy has been one
of the gravest scandals of the past two years
Whatever doubt there may be as to the guilt
of this or that individual, there is none at all
"a 90 the existence of the conspiracy itself.
That has been established beyond the POSSIBLE
ity of question by two committee investga-
tons and trial in tie criminal court. The
trial was rendered abortive by the notorious
connivancc of officers of justice with the sus-
pected parties. The jail-dOors were surrept-
tousIy opened on at least two occasions to let
out witnesses who were of the greatest import
ance to the prosecution and If the influences
of the White House were not employed IN
behalf of the defense we can only say
that the President and his nearest friends
were most cruelty belied. At any rate the dis
agreement of the jury in the Harrington case
left upon the public mind conviction that
the guilt of the conspiracy extended far beyond
the persons actually on trial, and that the
Government of the United States was deeply
disgraced by the efforts Of some OF its officers
to keep back the truth. And there the i'll
quiry came to full stop. The special counsel
was discharged. The prisoners stepped out OF
the dock to bask, as before, in the favor OF
the Administration and the Government gave
it to be understood that there would be 40
further attempt to punish the crime.
If we bear in mind the serious character of
this conspiracy we shall be in no doubt what
to think of the refusal to prosecute for it.
When the thief and the constable 20 into
partnership, and the courts are hired to
protect them, there is nothing for the honest
citizen but to scrape together the remnants OF
bis property and leave the country The
spectacle of ministers of justice hiring pro-
feSsonal burglars to manufacture testimony
to convict an upright man of felony is the
most appalling our corrupt days have yet
witnessed-the most appalling, unless we give
precedence to that other shocking spectacle of
the highest functionaries of the Government
protecting the consplratOrs from the
consequences of their crime. Under any
moderately decent administration the police
and the courts would not have been al
lowed to rest until this diabolcal plot was laid
bare and the plotters were in the penitentiary.
But Gen. Grant first discouraged and after
ward prevented investigation. His particular
friends and supporters in Congress chose 10
identify themselves with the conspiracy by
showing all possible favor to the persons sus-
pected of being concerned in it. A Republican
Senate and Republican House of Representa-
tives declined to interfere, and Justice, dis
armed and unseated, was compelled to wait.
| At last in the very nick of time, just as the
offense was about to become outlawed by the
statute of limitations, Democratic House, in
| its zeal to discredit tho Administration, took

THE PETEpTJDN


We'll. il Ia all over, and that's q comfort Mt
any rate. We have no doubt the Government
did It's best The Secretary of State, the Sec
rotary of War, and the Secretary of the Navy
were sent here to receive the distinguished
strangers. The Alert came from Port Royal to
fetch them ashore. A General of the Army
and an Admiral of the Navy appeared in full
uniform, and every precaul0n was taken 10
exclude common persons from the Imperial
presence. And yet somehow the ceremony
does not seem to have passed off with the ex-
pected eclat. All the guns OF all the forts were
loaded up to the muzZles, and the glnners
stood waiting with lanyards i'll hand for
a day and night, but the salutes-no
one knows why-were not in time; some
were fired at the wrong ship; and some
have not gone off yet. The Alert lay
with steam up and springs, no doubt, on
her cables, and the most elaborate precautions
were taken to telegraph the approach OF the
Hevelus from some point far down the Jersey
coast but when the Alert had voyaged as far
rs the north shore of Staten Island. four or
five hours behind time, there was the Hevc-
lius, tired of waiting and just ready to come
up without her. Tl.en the Emperor refused to
leave his ship, and the Secretaries bowed
themselves over the side; and while Dom
Pedro was crossing the Fulton Ferry in Il
hack, the Alert puffed up the North River,
hoaxing everybody by displaying the Bra
lillian flag, and getting royal salutcs
to which she was not entitled. Upon the whole
il may be said that there was a tremendous
expenditure Of gunpowder in the wrong place.
ana none at all where it was needed, good deal
of manning of the yards and SO forth which
excited the dciisiOn of the foreign sailors, and
a huge preparation generally for rather
mean performance, the whole concluding with
IN ungrammatical dispatch from the President
who begged TO express his welcome III the
language of shopkecper.
Still, the Government, "a we have said, has
done its best, aud the Emperor cannot COM
plain that lie has missed any of the
courtesy which ought to be extended to the head
of friendly nation. lie has shown. however,
in the most unmistakable manner that he
wishes to be spared all further ceremonial in
nictions, and we hope that his incognito will
be religiOusly respected. Let him travel as he
wishes to travel. like a private gentleman.
Let him see what he can of the country IN
two railway rides across the continent without
molestation by Oilcious officials. Ceremony
certainly cannot add to anybo1y's comfort
and it would be the hight of ill-brceding to
thrust 1T upon a stranger to whom 1t Is so bit
terly distasteful as it evidently is to the
Emperor of Brazil.
