PAEIS, Apiil 15-La Liberte bas another of
a series of editorials calculated to allay the
general discontent and uneasiness which has
been inspired by the recent warlike prepara?

some idea of the depth of popular feebug, the
writer says the United States Legation at Paris
is continually overrun with Frenchmen who
are anxious to escape the military service to
which they are liable.under the provisions of
the new army bill. Knowing nothing of the
American laws of naturalization, and haring
^ the lately concluded Prusso-American treaty
in their minds, they are literally besieging the
United States representative for naturalization
papers. Of conree the applicants in all cases
were refused, lacking five years' actual resi?

IMPORTANT EVIDENCE IN THE IMPEACHMENT
TRIAL-ONE OF THE PRESIDENT'S COUNSEL ON
THE STAND-BUTLER "CLEARS HIS SEIBT8"
HE MALES A HARANGUE AND EXHIBITS A
THREATENING LETTER, BUT SATS HE ISN'T
SCARED.
WASHINGTON, April 16.-IN THE HOUSE to?
day the Speaker announced that after the re?
turn of the House from the impeachment trial
business would be resumed.
Mr. Evarts reported in the High Court that
Mr. Stanbery was better, but that the inclement
weather had prevented his attendance. The
investigation of General Thomas' arrest was
then resumed.
James Hmd6, claiming to represent the
Little Rock District, ArKansas, filed his cre?
dentials to-day.
It is understood that the Committee on Com?
merce will report favorably on the bill for the
improvement of Western rivers and harbors.
General Sheimau remains here until Satur?
day.
Reveune tc-day $293,000.
lu the impeachment trial Sumner moved that
al! evidence not trivial be admitted, which was
tabled by a vote of thirty-three to eleven.
The following were the nays: Anthony, Fow?
ler, Grimes, Morton, Patterson, of Tennessee;
Sheimau, Turner, Yan Winkle, Yickers, Willey.
Waiter S. Cox, Esq., the President's counsel
m the Thomas case, was called. Mr. Curtis
asked when, how, by whom and under what
circumstances he was employed. Butler ob?
jected. Judge Chase ruled the answer admis?
sible. Cox said he went to the President's
house at 5 o'clock P. M., February 22. The
President and Gen. Thomas were present. The
former said- Butler here interupted. Sena
ator Edmuuds a6ked counsel what they de?
sired to prove. Evana replied that the Presi?
dent employed Cox to take such steps in the
Thomas case as would bring Stanton before a
judicial tribunal. Butler objected and a long
controversy ensued. Chief Justice Chase de?
cided that the evidence was admissible under
the Senate's previous ruling. Drake appealed,
but Chase was sustained by a vote of 29 to 21.
Cox resumed : The President directed the
witness to institute proceedings to have the
constitutionality of the Tenure-of-office act
tested; directed;witness to consult the Attor?
ney-General, who was too busy to give the
matter his personal attention. Under instruc?
tions, he applied for a writ of habeas corpus,
which was defeated by the discharge of Thomas.
He then instituted preliminary proceedings
under QUO icarranto.
R. F. Merrick, Esq., General Thomas' coun?
sel, then iestified.that he received some in?
structions from the President and Mr. Stan?
bery, and gave a detailed account of the pro?
ceedings in Thomas'case, showing himself and
C^x were defeated in bringing the question be?
fore the Supreme Court.
Butler interrupted Merrick to say that he
wished to clear his skirts. All this matter was
being introduced, in the face of the objections
of the managers, under the ruling of the Chief
Justice. Mr. Chase rose and said: "It goes
on by a decision of the Senate of the United
States."
E. O. Perrin said he calle i on the President
on the afternoon of February 21, with Mr.
Selyea, a representative, and was proceeding
with his narrative when Butler again inter?
rupted. Mr. Evarts stated that he desired to
prove by this witness that the President had
mentioned that he had removed Stanton and
appointed Thomas temporarily, as he intended
to send a good name to the Senate. This was
at once ruled out by a largo majority, among
which was Reverdy Johnson.
The counsel announced that they had fin?
ished the work prepared for to-day. Butler
made a harangue against delay, saying that
during this delay Union men were murdered
daily throughout tho South. Treasury officers
were selling poid below, and buying bonds
above the market, thereby putting mouey in
their pockets, and characterized this as the last
act of the war in which thousands were killed,
and remonstrated against delay in this last act
on account of the sickness of an attorney.
Butler exhibited a note which he had received,
telling him that the avenger was abroad. He
denied being scared, and quoted a Scotch
proverb that "a threatened dog was safe."
A motion to commence court hereafter at
eleven o'clock A. M. was postponed, and the
coori- adjourned. I

POLITIC ? Iff THE STATE.
THE ELECTION-HOW IT IS GOING-THE DEMO?
CRATS HARD AT WORK-SOIES OF THE RE?
TURNS-MOVEMENTS IN VARIOUS DISTRICTS.
The Columbia Phoenix, of yesterday, says :
"We have cheering news from various quar?
ters of Democratic successes. Here, the elec?
tion on yesterday was supposed to be decided?
ly favorable to the Democratic party. Many
of the colored people are voting with their
Southern supporters and patrons. Oar people
generally are already exercising the privilege
of rewarding those who Bustain them, and are
not inclined to help on a colored man who ia
mdiflerent to the interests of his employer.
Many white men, and some of our ladies, are
finding out that they can themselves perform
much ol' the work that they formerly hired
colored persons to do.
RETURNS.
The Pncenix adds:
The following returns of the first dry's
voting have been received from different sec?
tions of the State:
Gadsden-459, of which 35 were Democratic.
At the time tho cars passed yesterday IOU
votes hf.d been polled-about 50 Democratic.
Greenville-389; 82 against constitution. At
McDoualdsville 115 polled; 8 against constitu?

ORANGEBURG.
Our Fort Motte correspondent, writing under
date of the 15th inst., says :
Up to this afternoon the voting at Lewisville
has been very brisk, and for the twp days four
hundred and twenty votes have been cast. Fif?
ty-two have been rejected, of which two. were
white aud fifty were black.
At Fort Motte between forty and fifty votes
were polled to-day; the exact number of ne?
groes could not be ascertained. Eight negroes
voted the Democratic ticket, much to the hor?
ror and anger of their illustrious brethren,
who threatened them with summary punish?
ment for deserting their race.
SUMTER.
On the 10th instant the citizens of Sumter
District held a grand mass meeting and organ?
ized a, district club. President, J. B. Fraser;
Yice-Presidents, presidents of local clubs;
Secretary, A. Moses.
Executive Committee.-J. S. Richardson, J.
T. Solomons, J. N. Frierson, W. Nettles, E. C.
Green.
Mr. J. S. G. Richardson made a speech by re?
quest, taking gro- a in favor of running no
candidate, but voting against the constitu?
tion.
Coloael Blanding explained the necessity for
voting for candidates, as existing in the fact
that military orders required it, in order to
make (he vote against t?e constitution valid.
NEWBERRY.
The mass meeting called at Newberry
Courthouse was numerously attended, not?
withstanding the very disagreeable weather.
The Herald says:
General Garlington, Judge Y. J. Pope, Major
Jj. J. Jones and J. F. J. Caldwell made ad?
dresses on the part of the Democratic club,
which were well received, and which we be?
lieve produced good effect upon some of the
more enlightened of the colored audience.
Tom Keitt, body servant of Colonel E. S. |
Keitc, and familiarly known through the dis- ?
trict as his trusty and attached "Adjutant- |
General," and of course a warm Democrat and
good worker, made a stirring and sensible ap- :
peal at the close of a few speeches made by ?
some of the Leaguers. The meeting was ha?-1
monious.
-Great distress still exists among the re?
spectable working classes of New York. An
instance occurred Friday, where a healthy, de?
cently dressed mechanic applied to be com-1
mitted as a vagrant, saying that Le was unable !
to get work, and wished to be supported for a ?
fortnight, in the hope that times would then 1
be better. i
THE PRESIDENT'S TRIAL,.
MONDAY'S PBOCEEDINGS-AN INTEREST?
ING DAY'S WORK.
Since the opening of the trial, no session of
the Senate bas been so important, interesting
or eventful as that of Monday last. The coun
Eel tor the President renewed the effort to in?
troduce General ShermaL's testimony, predi?
cated upon the question which had been ad?
mitted on Saturday previous to the adjourn?
ment. The managers resisted every effort tc
elicit the truth, and thus ignored their own
previous proceedings in endeavoring to esta?
blish what they called the illegal "criminal in?
tent'' of the President. After long argument
on both sides, General Sherman left the stand,
and it was supposed that his valuable testimo?
ny was hopelessly excluded. This impression,
however, was subsequently disappointed, and
he was recalled to answer a question propound?
ed by Hon. Reverdy Johnson, which was di?
vested of the technical difficulties that had
served as a pretext in shutting out the former
interrogatories. "We quote from the National
Intelligencer's summary of the proceedings:
There was an immediate demand for the yeas
anil nays by Connees and Drake, who seem to
act as the ready and convenient instruments
of the prosecution. Whenever any duty is to
be discharged which the managers themselves
cannot perform under the rules, then senators
become ready instruments of wrong. The call
was listened to with breathless anxiety, and
wheu it was decided that the question was de?
cided affirmatively by a single vote, a buzz of
approbation spread itself with electric emotion
over the vast auditory.
General Sherman answered the direct ques?
tion, and was proceeding to narrate the sub?
stance of the interview, when he was rudely
checked by Butler, who objected to anything
but the strictest letter of the inquiry. An addi?
tional interrogatory was then offered, so as to de
velope the purpose sought to be|aecertained by
Mr. Johnson's question, and really included in
its terms, which was admitted, after angry op?
position on the part of Mr. Bingham, who lost
his temper and balance as soon as the first de?
feat wae experienced.
General Sherman resumed the ?tand, and
this time with the certainty of revealing his
knowledge on the subject of most serions ac?
cusations against the President. He had hard?
ly begun, however, when Butler interposed to
stop him. This interruption produced an un?
expected result; for General Sherman adminis?
tered a most scathing rebuke to the imperti?
nent meddler, and went on with hie narrative
just as he had commenced. The silence and
attention on the door of the Senate and
throughout the galleries, crowded to their ut?
most capacity, was so profound, that although
the witness did not pitch his voice in a high
key, every word was distinctly heard through?
out the chamber, so rapt and universal was
the attention. It seemed almost as if the fate
of the case hung upon the words that fell from
the hps of General Sherman.
He testified with great care, clearness of lan?
guage, and directness, to the effect that the
President, when tendering him the appoint?
ment of Secretary of War ai interim, had
stated that his own relations, as well as those
of the Cabinet, with Mr. Stanton, were such as
rendered a change in the War Department in?
dispensable m the interest of the service and
of the whole country. This was repeated with
emphasis. On the occasion of the second
offer, when Gen. Sherman suggested whether
the lawyers could not make up a case, the Pres?
ident said it was impossible without making an
act interim appointment; but that if it could be
done, the civil tenure-of-office bill would not
stand half au hour before the Supreme Court.
He regardedit as unconstitutional, and claimed
the right to make the appointment which was
tendered him. In reply to a question from Mr.
Howard, the witness testified that the Presi?
dent had Dever suggested the employment of
force in any form, but had expressed "the opin?
ion that Stanton would retire upou the presen?
tation of the order, as he was '-cowardly" by
nature, aud would make uo resistance.
Nothing could bc more distinct, positive and
convincing than the evidence given by General
Sherman, and every syllable ho uttered appear?
ed to demolish the last vestiges of the pre?
tended caso of the prosecution. As he closed
there was an evident sense of relief to the
strimed interest which was manifested
throughout, and a feeling of deep and earnest
satisfaction was testified iu the gratified ex?
pression of the immense multitude, as it a
weight of care had been lifted off the mind, and
joyful hope had confidently replaced doubt?
ing anxiety. The contrast" presented in the
general tone and keeping of the same audience
m the short space of au hom1, between the
withdrawal of General Sherman from the stand
auci his return to it, was something so stinking
aa to be remarked and remembered by mes: ox
the concourse of spectators.
That assembly pronounced ou the spot what
mu6t be the popular verdict-a complete ac?
quittal and entire vindication of the President.
If thc galleries had been polled, representing,
as they did, by two-thirds at least, persons m
sympathy v>ith tho majority in Congress, we
venture to assert that outside o? fixea pol?tica]
prejudice, there would have hardly been a dis?
senting voice as to the innocence bf the accus?
ed and the injustice of hid accusers.
There were some other proceedings, but
these embrace the pith and marrow. It was a
day ot hard battle. Mr. Butler died game; he
knew tho importance of shutting the door of
investigation, and thai his case would noe bear
the light; but a majority of the Senate were
conscious, upon reflection, that it would never
do thus to let the matter go to the country.
SCITNEBS OUTBAGEOCS PROPOSITION-HE MEETS
WITH A BEBCFF-THADDEUS STEVENS EXPLAINS
-P. EVE II Di.' JOHNSON'S CASTIGATION OF BUTLER.
The Washington correspondent of the Balti?
more Gazette, wilting in regard to Monday's
proceedings, says :
Another outrage came near being perpetra?
ted to-day, but fearing the effect upon the
country, it was abandoned-and that was to so
alter the rules as to require all of the Presi?
dent's counsel to speak nrst on the final sum?
ming up, and all the managers to follow them.
This proposition emanated from Mr. Sumner,
a highly proper source, but ai't^Mlaborate ar?
gument, was rejected by a large v?Tfe. During
this discussion, Manager Williams was for the
first time allowed to participate. He was spoil?
ing to be heard, and Butler permitted him to
speak his piece and then again retire to the
rear. But the most remarkable statemeut was
made by Manager Stevens, who rose, and lean
iug against the Secretary's desk, claimed the
privilege of an opportunity of explaining to the
country why he had urged the adoption of the
ninth article of impeachment, relative to Gene?
ral Emory. Does he deem it necessary to ex?
plain ? What a commentary upon Butler's
management of the case ! What a confession
by the "Great Commoner." when he says an
apology or explanation is due the country for
his having procured the ninth article to be
adopted. If the evidence had sustained the
charge no such explanation could possibly l e
necessary. It is hoped that old Thad, may be
allowed to tell how he happened to be,deluded
into it, as he is evidently mortified at the posi?
tion iu which Butler has left him. Bingham
takes his humiliation more kindly, and when
he rises to utter a word, he turns to Butler
aud seems to say : "If you please Genera'.."
Butler, however, promised him to-day that Le
should be heard before the case was concluded,
aud Bingham quietly subsided.
It was the purpose of the President's coun?
sel to call General Sherman again to tbe stand,
but they were relieved of the trouble Ly Sena?
tor Johnson, who had him recalled to answer a i
question. Atter another stormy debato on tue |
part of the prosecution, General .Sherman was i
permitted to testily, and he completely annihi- j
lated the theory of criminal intent oa the part I
of the President. The recalling ot' Sherman hy
a senator was followed by intense interest i
throughout the chamber, and as lue vote wes j
being taken whether or not the question should
be answered pin could have Leen heard to
fall. The close vote of twenty-six to twenty
five added much to the excitement. Sherman
having exploded the conspiracy plo: of the
managers, Butler, in revenge, attempted a
sim* upon the distinguished senator who had
propounded the question which brought out
the facts and pricked their bubble. Mr. John?
son immediately Spranz to his feet and de?
manded to know it thc ft one abie manager in?
tended any imputation upon him: if so he did
not kuow his man. Butler was brought to his
knees at once, and changed his insolence to a
tone of supplication. The President's coiins'.>l
were not allowed au opportunity to follow un
the questions and bring out Grant's double
dealing. It may be, however, that Grant will
be required to tell the story of his own shame.
It is understood that Sherman, if permitted,
would have testified that the President created
the Department of the Atlantic on his recom?
mendation.
ALL ABOUT THOSE DBEXES.
The following is a verbatim report of General
Thomas' testimony in regard to his interview
with Stanton:
General Thomas-Hr. Stanton turned to mo
and got talking in a familiar manner. I Baid:
"The next time yon have me arrested please
do not do it before I get something to eat." I
paid I had had nothing to eat or drink that day.
He pu: his hand around my neck, aa he some?
times does, and ran his hand through my hair
and turned around to Gmeral Schriver and
said: "Schriver, von have got a bottle here,
bring it out." [Laughter.] Schriver unlocked
his case and brought it out, a small vial con?
taining, I suppose, about a spoonful of whis
kev, and stated at the same time that he occa?
sionally took a little for dyspepsia. [Laughter.]
Mr. Stanton took that and poured it into a
tumbler and divided it equally, and we drank
it together.
Mr. Stanbery asked: "A fair division?"
General Thomas-A fair division, because he
held up the glasses to the light and saw that
they each had about the same, and we each
drank. [Laughter.]
Presently a messenger came in with a bottle
of whiskey-a full bottle; the cork was drawn,
and he and I took a drink together. "Now,"
said he, "this at least is neutral ground."
[Laughter.]
A HARD HIT.
Mr. Curtis, in his speech in defence of Presi?
dent Johnson, thus mildly referred to Messrs.
Butler, Bingham and Stevens :
The complaint is that the President made
speeches against this government, against
Congress. Well, who are the grand jurors in
this case ? One of the parties, the complain?
ants. And who are the triers? The other
complainants. Now. I think there is some in?
congruity in this. I think there is some rea?
son for pausing before taking any further
strides in this direction. The honorable House
of Representatives sends its managers here to
take notice of what ? That the Booie of Re?
presentative's has erected itself into a school
of manners, and, selecting from ita ranks those
gentlemen whom it deems most competent by
precept and example to teach decorum of
speech, it desires the judgment of this body
as to whether the President of the United
States has not been guilty of indecorum
whether he has spoken improperly-for that
is the phrase of the honorable managers.
The Future of Charleston.
At the annual dinner of the Board of Trade
on Wednesday evening, the following letter
waB read from Gen. J. W. Harrison, one of the
most energetic, far-seeing and patriotic of the
public men of our State:
AJTDEBSON, April 13, 1863.
Gentlemen : I regret that my engagements
will rot permit me to be present at your an?
niversary on the lodi inst. The prosperity of
the City of Chark etoo is so intimately con?
nected with that of the whole State that every
association to promote her prosperity should
command the sympathy and encouragement of
every citizen. It is a melancholy reflection
that the peopla of South Carolina seem to have
lost, in some degree, their ancient and honor
aole pride ir. the beauty, growth and wealth of
Charlton. It is a great misconception to
suppose that the people, as individuals or com?
munities, can be prosperous, whilst our own
Erincipal cities are languishing and decaying,
a proportion as these cities increase in popu?
lation, iu wealth and commerce, so will the
advantages resulting from this be reflected
back upon the whole people.
The enhanced value of property and extend?
ed commerce will enlarge the revenues of the
cities and the State, and thus the general tax?
ation will be lightened, and each tax-payefre
ceive a proportionate benefit.
Again, there seems to be a settled conviction
upon thc part of our country merchants that
they cannot purchase their stories anywhere to
cheaply as ia the great cities of the North; and
yet every now and theu these merchants must
02 impressed with the fact that sonic enter?
prising neighbor, who buys in Charleston, is
selling the same style ol goods at the same fig?
ures, and perhaps a little lower. This is true,
and can oe' easily and satisfactorily explained;
still it will require time and experience to con?
vince oar commercial men. A well directed and
concentrated effort of the active business mea
oi Charleston, aided by influential citizens in
the country, will eventually reclaim the trade
ot our own people, to which Charleston is now,
and always has been, so justly entitled. But
Charleston cannot become a respectable com?
mercial emporium if she relies alone upon tho
trade of our own State and sections contiguous.
Ihe area must le enlarged, and other States
be invited to become tributary. Charleston
must have a more direct and cheaper commu?
nication with the great cities of the West. This
:s now within her reach. She may not have
the money within herself to accomplish this,
hut she has active, intelligent, far-seeing citi?
zens, and by concentrated eflort the capital
could he .nduced to come.
For more than thirty years this enterprise
has been entertained, fostered and encouraged
by y om- ritizens, and surely there must have
been and is now great merit and practicability
in the scheme or it wouiJ have been forgotten
and abandoned long ago. What was first, per
baps. State pride, nag become a stem necessi?
ty, and the active enterprise of adjoining
States ?a daily forcing it upon our view. Then
permit me to entreat you to arouse, not from
apathy and indifference, but from that intent?
ness upon daily business and avocations which
for the sn:cess of a day or an hour sometimes
intervenes and cuts off the most important
prospective advantages. If I could venture, I
would further suggest that you should use all
efforts to shorten the line of commuuicatiou
between your city and the Northwestern dis?
tricts ol the State", by constructing the branch
road lroin Aiken to New Market, then push for?
ward the road to Knoxville, where you will be
in direct contact with Cincinnati and Louis?
ville, Chicago and other Western cities-upon
a line in which you will have a great controlling
interest, and where you could at least guard
against any adverse restrictions.
Next to this, if cot of equal importance, is
the necessity for a shorter and more direct line
to Memphis" from which point roads are pro?
jected northward to the Pacific Railroad with
such advantage, that Charleston could draw off
her proportionate part ot that valuable traffic
With these great fices constructed, and the
management properly consolidated, Charleston
would certainly be in a position where she
could secure that part of tue commerce of the
West India Islands which her natural advan?
tages of location entitles her to.

Caught at Last.
AEBZST OF THE BOBBEE OF THE CANAL BANE
f-F SEW OBLEAXt-WONDEBFCL TACT OF THE
DETECTIVES.
The Canal Bank of New Orleans was recently
robbed of $50,000. A few days ago the robber,
whose name 16 Ap. Rillool, was discovered and
arrested by officers Izard and Farrell, and as
thu arrest was accomplished under ve:y singu
;ai circumstances, we present the full particu?
lars, as given by a New Orleans paper:
Tue skill and ingenuity dispkyed in workine
up the case, and carrying it t? a successful
issue, rc-?ects the highest credit upon them.
Visiting tue bank shorey after tue robbery had
b^eii committed, tney noted every thing that was
calculated to help t?em ia the search they had
determined to make-nothing escaping'their
careful scrutiny. They sa-" ..t a glance tna: the
thief must ur. ve been un exceedingly lal! man,
with long arms, to have taken the envelope
containing the money ?rom tue spot, where it
had been placed by tile exchange clerk, Mr. P.
L. Duquency, aud on a minute exanrinariou of
the lower ledge of thc- railing upon which he
must have stepped. they discovered the im?
print of a tack. This at unco arrested their
attention, and they argued to themselves that
the man evidently cad wean a machine-made
shoe or hoot, as m th?f?e a steel tick or rivet
i= always driven about tie centre or just Le
youd the shank, lt will be admitted that tuis
was but a poor clue upon which to hang a
hope of pursuing the search to a successful
issue, and the result only proves what may be
accomplished by resok.te and expert detec?
tives, when added to the esprit du corps, which
exists among them is the grand incentive
of a large reward. These two men immedi?
ately became lost tc almost everything
save a contemplation nf men's feet. They
waLked" stealthily behind all the tall men they
met, endeavoring to <:atch a glimpse of the
soles of their boots, hoping to see some pro?
truding tack which migit lead to a discovery.
Days of weary and fuitless search passed.
They had inspected the soles of almost every
individual who walks orr streets without avail,
when tho merest chance revealed what they
bad sought so long and vainly. Having
sauntered together into the City Hotel,
abont two o'clock, wh le most of the guests
were seated around the long tables in the
rcadingroom, or gathered in cosy knots con?
versing on the topics of the day, they sat
down to observe and compare notes. Pres?
ently officer Farrell observed a large man,
sitting on the opposite side of the table,
with one foot resting on his knee. He imme?
diately called Izara's attention to the man,
who seemed to be endeavoring to bend
down a tack in his boot with the end
of his penknife. The intense satisfaction and
surprise of the two detectives may be readily
imagined. Here was a man who answered
their idea of the robber exactly. He was tall,
long-limbed, and there, from the centre of his
boot, protruded a steel tack. To quietly walk
round to whore the man sat, to touch him on
the shoulder and whisper in his ear that he
was a prisoner, was the work of a moment.
The manner in which the man started, trem?
bled and turned pale, would have convinced
them of bis guilt had they seen no tale-telling
tack. Without useless words they caused the
man to walk with them to the chief of police's
office; after a few attempts at prevarication, he
made a full confession. It seems that going to
the bank to inquire the rate of exchange, he saw
thejclerk leave his desk, and through the wire
frauze detected the money envelope lying on the
edger. A wild impulse seized him to poseess
it, and quick as thought he reached over, dis?
placed the gas bracket, grasped the envelope,
replaced the bracket, and noiselessly left the
bank. He stated further, that he had been
greatly surprised at the large amount contain?
ed in the envelope, and seeing that the notes
were all numbered, had cut open the mattress
in his room at the City Hotel, and thrust them
in, hoping to leave the city in a few days un?
observed witn his prize, to wait until the affair
had blown over, and he might offer the notes
with impunity. On repairing to the City Hotel,
the officers, after a private conversation with
Mr. Morse, the proprietor, obtained the proper
key to the room, and were soon in possession
of the prize which ta ey had so industriously
sought, and the loss of which had been so ab?
sorbing a topic of conversation. On examin?
ing the envelope it was found that all the notes
were safe, there being fifty $1000 bills in the
package.
COUNT BISMARCK A ?CD THE ISBAELITES.-Count
de Bismarck, who had been requested by the
Alliance Israelite, cf Paris, to interpose with
the government of Prince Charles in behalf o' |
the Jews persecuted in Roumania by the agents
of the Minister Brat ano, returned the follow?
ing reply:
Gentlemen : The Prussian Government has
given fresh instructions to its representative
at Bucharest to ?se his utmost influence to
secure for your co-religionists all that protec?
tion which they enjoy in countries that are
under a legislation founded on principles of
humanity. I am, besides, firmly convinced
that the intentions of Prince Charles entirely
concord with our views, and that his highness
will, by his finn determination, promote the
development of the constitution of his coun?
try, which will render easy to the government
the exercise of a benevolent protection over all
classes of the population. BISMARCK.
