A Bold Bank Robbery.

SEDALIA, Mo-, August 80. - The Sedalia
Democrat has the following particulars of the
robbery OF the Coneordia Bank, which oc.
cured yesterday: COncordia is a town of
about l,5Oo Inhabitants, in Lafayette county,
on the Le xington and st. Louis K. R., 30 miles
from Sedalia. The principal banking business
OF all that part Of Lafayette county IS done by
the ConcOrdia Savings Bank, of whicn j. II.
Lohoefener is president, and A. Flicker,
cashier. Yesterday afternoon, about O'Clock,
three men entered the bank. One of them
asked the cashier, who was alone in the bank,
to change ten dollar bill. While he was chang
ing the bill another man jumped over the
counter and caught the cashier by the arm.
and placed one hand over his mouth. They
then took what money was in sight, and put
ting pistol to the cashiers head, told him to
open the safe. He did so, under fear of his life,
and the robbers took all the paper money In
the Safe-between 5000 and $i,0O0-refusing
to take the silver, Of which there was between
$2,OC0 and 5000 IN the bank. During the rob
berry gentleman named SOdeman was near
the bank, and one OF the robbers, who was
guarding the door, called him to advance
instead Of which he turned aud ran. The rob.
bers fired at SOdeman but missed him. They
then mounted their horses and galloped off in
sOutherly direction. The whole robbery oc.
cupied about 10 minutes. They were all
mounted on good horses, newly shOd. The
citizens are in hot pursuit.

BAD CONDITION OF AFFAIRS ON THE
MEXICAN BORDER--One of the most intelli-
gent special agents of the government, who
has been on special mission to the Mexican
border, sends an interesting report of his
yisit,t the Treasury department. He travelled
along the border from the Rio Colorado to the
Rio Grande. He says that something
should be done by the representatives of
10th na,.!an countries to bring about better
ways, he thinks, of accomplishing this han
by the marshalng of troops as menace
on the border. The high tariff on the
products of the two countries engender and
one OF the principal and overlooked causes 0
tie trouble on the border. Almost everybody
is in sympathy with the smugglers. He ad
vances the assertion that the only effective
cure, the most peaceable and permanent soiu-
tion to the entire problem, IS reciprocity"
between the TWO countries, by means Of a
treaty OF commercial amity for free admission
into both countries across the border of their
respective products He concludes by asking
Have not England, France and Germany
quit tly obtained possession of the bulk of the
Mexican trade, while the United States mas
beeI settling her border difficulties by cor
resrohdehce, commissions, threats and armed

After considerable disorder, arising from a
greenback speech by Mr.. Ream, of Culpeper
after he had been declared out of order and
after personal explanations by Mr.. Triplett, of
Culpeper, friend of Mr.. Neale, he nominated
Gen. HuntOn. The names of Mr.. Neaie and
Mr.. Menifee were withdrawn, and General
MI: Neale was invited TO the convention, and
spoke In advocacy of Gen. Hunton's election
Gen. Hunt0n returned thanks for the nOmina-
t1on. Representative Black burn, of Kentucky,

Johnson Barbour independent readjuSter.

OF the repeal OF the resumption act. for the re-
peal OF the tax on state banks, in favor of the
greenback currency, and opposed to further

most influential Of The Butler democrats were

state committee today, and those present in

Geo. w. Gill, OF Worcester, and Frank Bird
were very pronounced in their declaration
that the capture of the convention by Butler
should not be allowed, and that none but re-
cogniZed democrats should receive nomina-
nations on the state ticket. The meeting was
private, but il is well understood that some
thing was said about boiling il the Butler ele-
ment should get control, and that there was
talk OF naming late day for the convention
Tor the purpose OF driving the Butler element
TO show lis hand. Ii was finally however de-
clded to call the convention for the l7Ch of
September, and at Worcester. In the hotel
corridors, during the progress OF the meeting
up stairs. there was large gathering of demo-
cratic poiIicidDS, aud the impression got from
the talk OF those from the country districts
in the western part of the state especially-was
that Butler had secured as signers to his pc

was going to make trouble. Altogether there
