Northampton Bank Robbery.

SPRINGFIELD, MASS, January 27.-lt is
now believed that tie whole amount OF
the losses Of the Northampton Bank rob
berry Is over one million Of dollars, nearly
one half Of which are negotiable.
BosroN, January 2S.-A special TO the
Herald has the following additional par
ticulars Of the Northampton Bank rob-
berry: 1t is generally believed at North
ampton to-day that the loss by the rob-
berry OF the northampton National Bank
has been understated, and that the aggre'
gate actual loss reaches, il it does not
exceed, 100000. Many OF the losers
are reticent, still declining to say
how much they lost. 1t has tran,
spired to-day that the town oi
Northampton Is loser to a considerable
extent by the burglars taking the pack
ing bonds deposited there by the authori.
ties. Capt. samuel Parsons deposit ol
railroad and other securities amounting
to $4,000 is gone, also some owned by
Isaac s. Parsons, very large amount
perhaps. One half OF the stolen securities
are negotiable, and the robbers are likely
to realize on them in spite Of the efforts
Of the owners. The bank itself does
not suffer greatly. 1t has been as
certained that the burglars rode from
Springfield to Northampton Tuesday
night with q fast team engaged at Barr's
livery stable about two weeks previous
by man who said they wanted to go Ia
surprise party at Holyoke. When the
team was returned Wednesday morning
the horses showed signs Of hard driving
and were very much exhausted. The
hostler gives . very clear conception oi
the man who hired and returned the team
It is surmised that he was the manager oi
the robbery. The detectives are hard at
work, and have information not yet made
public which may be Of great import

Legislative investigation.

New ORLEANS, January 28.-1n the
Senate to-day resolution was introduced
asking for joint committee to investi-
gate the rumors as to Senator J. r. West
having been elected by bribery and other
corrupt measures, and also the charges
preferred against him in the public print.
Senator Weber, from West Feliciana,
offered the resolution given below, which
was adopted after spirited debate, the
Democratic members finally Withdrawing
their objection after failing TO amend so
that the committee should be joint
committee Of both houses. It was, how.
ever, amended that the committee should
sit in New Orleans.
WHEREAS, It is currently reported
that there exists in the parishes East and
West Fileciana, East Baton Rouge and
st. Helena, organized bands Of men
styling themselves Regulators" whose
sole object seems TO be the persecution OF
and driving out Of office all Republican
officials in these parishes both State and
parochial.
WHEREAS, Its currently reported that
several Of the Republican officials have
been threatened with violence, and in
some instances death, unless they resign
ed, and in consequence they sent their
designations to the proper authorities
and afterwards left their homes to escape
further violence.
WHEREAS, In justification Of these
violent measures these Regulators" have
declared that said officials were "ignor-
ant, incompetent, unworthy and dis.
honest" and that it is absolutely neces-
sary that they be removed by violent
means and others appointed in their
stead in order to secure peace and order
in these parishes.
WHEREAS, Grave and serious charges
have been preferred against the moral
and political character Of several State
and parochial officers Of said parishes,
which If proved will be sufficient to dc.
prive them Of the positions now filled;
and
WHEREAS, It is reported these "Regu-
lators," in the measures employed to carry
out their ends, have placed the lives and
property Of citizens in jeopardy, and the
civil authorities are wholly unable 10
preserve law and order; therefore be it
Resolved, That committee Of five be
appointed by the President Of this body,
with instructions to investigate the con-
dition Of the alleged disturbed parishes
and investigate the charges preferred
against certain officials OF said parishes,
with power to administer oaths and send
for persons and papers; and that said
committee be further instructed toreport
thereupon within seventy days from the
passage Of this resolution.

"You will observe that our valuation
in this county has increased in very
considerable ratio during the time above
indicated, whilst the rate Of taxation for
ordinary local purposes has not decreas-
ed. Another point worthy Of attention
is that the farm the valuation Of which is
given above had just as many, just rs
good and US valuable improvements in
1866 rs in 1876, and its productive ca.
pacty was equally US good. Still another
point is this: the general development Of
our county as to roads, bridges, public
buildings &C., was about in the same con-
dition rs now. That is, we had about all
the internal facilities that We needed and
We had so developed ourselves asa coun-
ty that all We had to do was to keep
them in repair. Yet, as you see, taxation
for local or county purposes has not di-
minished but per contra, has increased rs
the farm above indicates from S2i
in the first three years OF the table to $40
in the last, three for each year (al-
most 100 per cent difierencc) without
our having realized any corresponding
benefit.
During the frat period oil low valua-
ton we had no county Indebtedness
whatever, everything being paid for as
we went along. Now, in addition to the
ordinary expenditure, we have n bonded
debt of near $3.50, 600, to meet interest on
which requires nm additional levy on the
same land Of about $i5 annually. And
to pay tho principal thereof would re-
quire the owner Of that farm to pay
about $500.
think it very appropriate at this time
that the facts should be presented to. the
real estate holders Of this county, and in.
decd oi the whole State, for on them rests
almost the entire burden OF taxation,
owing to the invisible nature OF personal
estate.
The remedy for this state of. things
rests in breaking up our foolish ideas OF
politics in local affairs, State and county,
and in inducing men qualified to manage
our affairs to take the helm.
