money on the result. We have not the

but from the prominence given to his utter
ances and the stress laid upon the perfect
coincidence of his views and opinions with
those Of the Governor, it is not unlikely
that he may be either Governor Robin
son himself or some one very nearly
related to him. We infer this from
the circumstances attending The pubhca-
ton. Still it may be Mr. Weston,
the pedestrian-the relation between pro-
gramme and performance would seem to sug-
gesi him or Mr. Norman Taylor, the Pie
eater-he too is apparently man OF very

upon the erroneous assumption thaU t"c
Confederates were accorded full pardon
and were reinvested with political nights

the fact that in the American civil conflict
amnesty was granted from generous impulses

He does not advocate plcnary amnesty on the

Louis Blanc unquestionably does. We must

A Boston correspondent calls attention TO
some curious results in the voting Oh Tues
day. These show that though Butler was
defeated, his hold on the Democratic party of
Massao iusetts is actually strengthened Even
the historic name of Adams could not keep
as many votes for the regular Democratic
ticket as were given to Abbott last year. and
in eleven of the nineteen cities Of the State
Butler received more votes than last year.
General Butler will never be elected Governor
Of Massachusetts,, but Judging from present
appearance, he can amuse himself by run
ming for tie office as long as he lives.
The defalcation of one of the most trusted
booLkeepors of a well-Anown bank is a curl
osity among embezzlements. The cashier who
is lurcd to his ruin by bad company OF both
sexes is an old story. The teller who
uses money TO speculate in stocks and is

Is nearly as familiar n figure. But a book

teal and prOsaic businesses in the world, who
steals money sometimes $40O or $500 a day,

of dream numbers" in his very confession, is
novelty among delinquents of his class. There
are more strange things in the highly respec-
table and exceedingly commonplace precincts
of banks than the nOveIsts have told us.
1t would hardly be an exaggeratiOn to say
that the perplexing ard painful questions
