LACoSIA, y. H., April 25.-The town was thrown
INTO great excitement between and o'clock this
morn nc by loud explosion in the vicinity of Main
Sire. Bridge. The citizens were aroused. aud soon
lear 1ed that the Laconia National Bank had been
entered by urglars. The fire alarm was immedi-
trly sounded, and bells were rnne, causing gem
cal alarm throughout the village. The bank IS on
Main-st in the Post Office block. one of the most
exposed parts Of the town. The entrance was af-
fected through the front door of the bank room,
which must have been forced with jack. On
entering the bank il was found that the vault robbed
wa. that which contained the funds and papers
used in the daily transactions OF the bank, the
greater part # the banks valuabes being
contained IN another safe. which was untouched.
So far rs can now be learned the loss will amount
to 50 2uO IN bonds, and $1,000 IN bills or the
latter bills amounting To 1900 were signed by the
prcsldent, but not Ivy the cashier. Seven hundred
dollars bills and specie were found on the hoor OF
the bank Sheriff Everett and the officers OF the
bank are making every effort 70 capture the Dur
glars, and are telegmphing through the State.
The robbers evidently proceeded III systematic
manner to force the bank safe appears to have
been done by cutting through the outer surface OF

iBY TELEGRAPH TO TIE rRIEUNE.I
WASHINGTON April 25.-A considerable number
Of Democrats are COnsOling themselves tonight
with the idea that the Army bill Will be signed by
Ia President. Throughout the dcbate-in fact,
Whenever the cooler and more judiciOus men in that
party have suggested that the majority was placing
It."lf IN an exceedingly dangerous position where
s. could not withdraw from its declaration that
tapIlcs shoud be Withheld # the President should
Veto the bil-the extreme men of tie party have
continued without any good reason therefor. to i'll
tis that the bill would be signed.
IL as certain as any future event can be that the
I'LL will be vetoed. aud the House will probably
receive the message by the middle Of the week.
There has been no doubt Of this from the very first
and all limitations that the President has been
Waverlng IN his opinions as TO this mode OF pro-
'cdurc have done HIM gross injustice. No Rcpub
lican in Congress or out Of it has been more de-
Cided ln his views as to the real purpose of the
Democrats To break down aud destroy all safe
guards about National elections than the President
lie Las regarded il from the first something far
more important than the mere question OF having
authority to send troops 10 the polls.
8 In regard 10 this matter In Itself, his present
views are entirely consist snt with his general ex
pressious Of policy concerning the use of the mill
tary ID controlling civil affairs. lie looks upon the
pending political legislation on the Army bill as
part Of plan the remainder of which ls engrafted
on the Legislative bill. In addition to that feature
Of these measures which strikes down the power OF
Tie Goyernment to observe and protect Its own
elections, he regards them direct States Rights

Appropriation bill was passed by vote of Al

Is confidently asserted that the Presl-

which the Republicans Will allow the
Legislative bill to pass without much debate.
The course of the majority is in doubt. but 1t
is probable that it will refuse to make appro-

will be called. A scheme of spectators for
taking possession of lands in the Indian Terri

The conferences betw' en- the committees OF

Road surrenders its Pearl Street track to the
Metropolitan Company, and the latter aban-
dons its proposed Chambers Street branch.
The two roads will have common depot at

will be transferable. The question OF COM
pensatiun has not been settled. but In case OF
disagreement il will be determined by
arbitration. Tie details Of the plan In regard
to the terminus at the Battery have not been
completed. No connection across Broadway
between the two branches Of the MetropOli-

of Broadway was forbidden by the Laws OF
1875. under which the first Commissioners were
appointed. Officers of the New-YOrk Com
pany say that the proposed route along
Broadway to the Battery will not be urged

treaty protection Of the Chinese already 10 this
country, and no circumstances can tolerate an
exposure of our citizens in China, merchants or
missionaries, TO the consequences of so sudden
an abrogaton of their treaty projections.
Fortunately, however, The actual recession in
the flow of immigration from China to the Pa
ciic coast shown by trustworthy statistics,
relieves us from any apprehension that the
treatment of the subject in the proper
course of diplomatic negotiations will intro
duco any new feature of discomfort or dis
turbance among the communities directly af
fccted, were such delay fraught with more in
conveniences than have ever been suggested
by the interests most earnest in promoting this
legislation, Iscannot but regard the summary
disturbance of our existing treaties with China
as greatly more inconvcniont to much wider
and more permanent interests of the country.
/ have no occasion to insist upon the more
general considerations of interest aud duty
which sacredly guard the faith of the nation
in whatever form of obligation It may have been
given. These sentiments animate the deliber-
ations of Congress and pervade the minds OF
our whole people.
Our history gives little occasion for any re-
