The proposed pension which Gen.
Grant declined in advance the other
day amounted to So. 900 a year. His
yearly pay as a retired general of the
army. if his friends should succeed in
restoring him to the rank he held when
he resigned to be president, and in put
ting him on the retired list, would
amount to $40, 125. and the back pay
for sixteen years, from the date of his
resignation, March 4, 1869, would
amount to S162, 000-a sum sufficient to
pay off the Judgment which Mr.. Van
derbilt procured on Tuesday last and
leave the general something over S10,-
900 in pocket He is probably wise in
taking the chances of the success of a
bill for restoration rather than of one
for pension, for even a Democratic
house, would hardly like to put itself
on record as opposing such a measure
If it should be brought squarely to vote.
Gen. Grants only income at present is
understood to be derived from the $3.50,
900 fund which was raised for him by
friends in New York.

thority of the government engineer,
that the Canadian Pacific Railway will

1t is probably not generally under
stood that the most ornate house OF
worship in the United States is the
Greek church at Sitka, in the territory
of Alaska. 1t is built on the plan Of a
Greek cross, and the. interior is mass
of gold and silver. of the magnificence
of which one enthusiastic writer says
he can give no adequate idea. The
walls are hung with pictures of royalty
and the priesthood, the gift of Rus
sian princess who has taken this tempt
under her special charge.

Nevada has proved to be a rotten
borough. It's populations is steadily
dwindling. The Carson (Nev.) Tribune
estimates that there are now not more
than $1,000 voters in the State. In
1880 the total vote was 1861. Only
one county has 5000 voters, and of all
the others only three have a voting
population in excess of 1000 each.
One county IS credited with 200 voters
only, and there are five counties whose
combined vote Will not exceed $500.

BURGLARS WORK IN M4IDEN-LANE.
SAFES PRIED AND BROKEN OPEN AND VALUABLE
JEwELRY STOLEN.

JEwhLRY STOLEN
On the third and fourth floors of No. 40 Maiden
lane are several firms Of manufacturing jewellers,
among whom are ). Hahn and Goldsmith " 20. on
the third floor, and J. Buloya on the fourth
When Mr.. Hahn's empoyes reached the ouId-
ing Yesterday morning they found that the locks
had been picked on the iron door leading from the
street into the lower hallway and on me doors
from the upper halls into the offices. WITHIN the
nfices of Goldsmith 81 Co. and Mr.. BuOva every
thing was in confusion: SAFE doors had oten
pierced wrenched out of shape ana prled completely
off Some of the safes were empty and one was
partly rlhed while burglars tools or dluereht
kinds were lying about floor Precious Stones
and jewery valued at more rhah qryyeg "fl tbe
Soice were Informed of the robbery, the burglars
Tools were taken to Police Headquarters and
instructions were issued that no information ABOUT
the robbery should be made public by the police or
by members of the firms who had been robbed.
Mr.. GoldsmltRs office is entered from the man
hail through a narrow corridor. The once is eX-
tremely small. Opposite the narrow door ana pc
hind railing and counter stand three safes sde Oy
side In the fir st safe at the lett the burglars liad
drilled hole about anlnch and hall in diameter De-
side the combination knob. The knob was Wrenched
ont and left on top of the SAFE. Inen the loc VAS
picked and satchel inside the sale col'alIdlnS dS
diamonds worth So 600 was pricd open and riiled.
A LARGE amount Of miscellaneous stones ana Jew
elry was also taken from the safe. The next SAFE
was a small one of the Salamander type, no door
of this one was wrenched and pounded 10 pieces
with chisels and 'immies" and he jewelry within
ii was appropriated by the burglars The thlrd
safe was an old one made by Morris q ifeilnu
THE IIsd OutST p1tS WTenc%ed off doG GG mac S
hacking was Clipped through, and hole an inch IN
diameter was madeinto thelock. This was as far as
the burglars went in their work on this safe.
They were evidently frightened away. Alr.
t3oldsmith's loss amounts to about $4,000
In Mr.. Bulova's office, on the next floor above, a
large Herring safe was opened, and twenty
two gold rings, valued at $lW were taken
of. A futile attempt was made by
the burglars TO penetrate the inner door
OF the safe behind which was much, valuable jew
eIrv. An old safe in the Office showed slight marks
of a chisel on the upper edge Of the door. The
burglars were probably disturbed here also. lhe
fact that there was a safe on each floor upon which
unfinished work had been done led to the suppos-
tion that two gangs of burglars were at work: The
offices of j. J. Hickey and Jacoti Julllard ~ Co.,
blank book dealers on the second floor were entered
without any signs of violence about the doors being
left. The burglars left glove and key behind
them however. This is the first large robbery that
has occurred in MaIden-lane for number Of years.
