The four road agents who robbed the stage o'f$30,000 in gold bars, near Corinne, on the . Plains, on Monday night, also robbed the passenger of all their arms and 52,000. This is the second robbery withio a week amounting to ?CO,000 in the aggregate. Health Officer. Burnam, of Chicago, last month served 4,773 notices of nuis ances, of which 4,746 were abated. There were seven hundred and eighty-six loads of swill, four hundred and three loads of ashes, four hundred and seventeen dead dogs, forty dead horses, and four dead cows removed from the streets. From latest accounts it appears that the loss of life at the Avondale mine disaster was hot bo great as at first supposed. The number of. the dead is now set down at oue hundred and eight, besides the two who were suffocated in the first at teinptto descend into the shaft. 'A Helena (Montana) dispatch says that the coach which started Saturday for Corinne was stopped about midnight, Tuesday evening, fifty miles' north of Corinne," by robbers, who secured the driver, and obtained about $30,000 worth of gold bars.

U1 low 8, under date of Indianapolis, Sept. s i .'itoisa. r . tOne of the decisions 'of the Supreme Couft the past week, which was telegraph-J ed t the time, was in the famous "fepper," case, from Franklin county. In 1852, the Treasurer of that county, Batxoer, in accordance with tbe time-honored principles the.Dtnecrati0 party, to which, he belonged, proved a defaulter to the amount of nearly $25,000. Upon: investigation it was found that his bond was signed by some thirty-five persons, but wheoj Ibe case came on for trial, one man, Grinkmieryhad never signed ittUr several had signed U upon condition thatonehunt dred names should be obtained, and others upon representations that they would be.- The bond, when first presented to the County Commissioners, was not received, and four or five additional names were obtained J As finally accepted, s outriber bf names contained in the body of the bond were not signed to it, while that of Grin kmier,-whose name was forged, waa not in. the body of the bond. Upon the first trial, Grinkmier was released, bnt the rest were held ta the obligation to the fait amount of tbe bond. Upon appeal to the Democratic Suprems Court, the ease, so far as Grinkmier was concerned, waa affirmed, but was reversed as to the others. The first opinion was dp'.'tvered by Jodge 11 anna, and the secor.d, upon rehearing, by Judge Perkins. The second trial of the case came before Judge Wilao, i August, 1867, but Vis decision waa mot rendered nutil tha aext Fehraaryj la the meaMirae, and before the' mew trial came on, the present Supreme Coort had co.Le iuto power, and oae ef their earliest aeciBions was one spon a ease whteb ia-. volved to a sraat extent the voiats r re setted in the PefaV ease. TkU was the case of Deardorff vs. Foieswaa, 24 Ind., 481. and in it thev hohi an Maion di rectly oppo.ii t th one held by ' the forwter eoart, in tke other ease. This was a ea&e fonnded upon a promissory note, and tbe decision was . that "if a surety signs and delivera to his principal an instrument, perfect upon its fate, with the cosdition that it shall not be deliver ed to Ike obligee, payee or grantee, until some other persons, wKo are agreed apon, shall execute the same, and the principal delivers the instrument, without regard to tbe condition, and the obligee, payee, or grantee has so knowledge of tbe condi tion, the delivery will bind the surety ' This decision elearly foreshadowed the course whioh the present Court would take upon the rep per case, it it should eorne before them; hut since it waa not precisely parallel with the Deardorff ease, Judge Wilson preferred to follow the deoision of the other courts in that particular ease, leaving it to the present one to overrule it entirely. This they Lave done; and if it will teach persons to be more careful when they sign official bonds hereafter, and understand that in ease of a default they can not always be released upon some mere technicality, some good will have been accomplished by i, - : Light ' Thrown on the Cuban Situation. The Madrid correspondent of the London Times. writes as follows: "Hitherto the Spanish Government and press have unwisely adopted the plan of concealing unfavorable. Unban newfj but tbe Epoca has now broken silence, and startled the Spaniards by making a statement of the actual facts, and by vehemently urging the dispatch of troops, and the union of men of all parties, so that the Government may be left free to saveX'uba. 'The news of .General Sickles' proposal to recognize tne Luban insurgents as belligerents has caused as much excitement as if he threatened to take the part of tbe Cubans. ; It had the effect to make the funds fall to the lowest point they have touched for sixteen years. The difpatch of Genetal Sickles has not been published. Whatever its moral effect may be, the remonstrance of the TJuited States has unquestionably ; terrified the Spaniards amazingly." ' -The parties charged with attempting to murder revenue officer Brooks were up for further hearingat Philadelphia on Monday. No evidence of importance waa produced. Stockton, Keenan and Agen were held in $5,000 bail for further hearing. The doo tors report that Brooks may die at any moment. " ' ' r - in ; .. ' j t The Springfield Republican, an honest paper, in speaking of the effect of the Massachusetts Prohibitory Liquor Law, demands a new temperance reform. It says that the attempt to carry on the cause of temperance by political and legal machinery is a lamentable failure. ' It calls upon ministers to preach temperance, teachers to teach tsmperance) and all good people to labor in behalf of temperance. Mr. S. S. Gaston, whose farm is up the Republican eight miles from town, harvested five acres of oats, -which yielded 420 bushels bj measurement. Thirty-three bushela weighed 1230 pounds. As the legal weight of a bushel is thirty-three pounds, the five acres yielded by weight ninety-seven buthela to the acre. A. W. Calleu's field adjoining town, which embraced twenty three acres, yielded 1073 bushels of fU wheat, or forty -seven bushels, per acre. Junction City (Kansas) Union. The Democracy, North and South, are becoming more widely separated every day. Few matters of importance can he men tioned eonoerniog which thev agree. Ne gro suffrage is becoming the corner-stone of Southern Democracy. In Ohio those great Democratio champions, Lewis D. Campbell and Samuel Feoton Cary, are against negro so ff rare. J The ' election of Pendleton would threw the Democratio party into inextrieable confusion. The Democracy niust defeat him to save themselves. Commercial. On Saturday, aa appears by our special dispatch, the proposition for tho introduction of Lay Delegation into tbe General Conference, failed to pass tha Indiana Conference, : in aession at Evanaville. That our readers may understand why it failed, although having so large a majority, it may be wall to state that by a rule of tha Church no fundamental change in polity can be effected without the eoncurrence of threefourths of tbe Ministers in a majority of the Conferences. Theletter of our correspondent gives tbe reports upon the sut ject made oo Friday. Journal.

How ia it with you, Mr. .editor T CIVI8. The Byron Soandal. The London press is quite as unani mous and earnest as our own to denouo ring the publication, by Mre.Stowe, of the Byron scandal. From the letter of the lawyers, who had tbe papers of Lady Byron io their bands, we infer that she believed the story to be true, as she told it to Mrs. Stowe. Some such story bad also been floating about yeara ago. But it was probably a delusion of Mrs. Byron's, and it is evident thai Mrs. Stowe hss blundered strangely even in the imperfect aceoaot she hss attempted to give. The whole world, esoeeiallv the religious oeo pie, with one eonsent, regard the work of Mrs. stowe es offensive to good morals. fN. Y. Observer.

This is . the point upon which he fhiefly insists, evidently with the feel iug that there is -a tendency toward forget faiiiss uf the just, rights of the Stares. Senator Mmrtttn, of; Indiana, has also- made a Speech in wbiab he reviews with pride atid pleasure tba career of , the RepuUicau party, and declares that, great as its work has been, it is not euded- It has done on.o thing at a time, and dune it well; and it will euutiaua io the glorious pa'tbi.bf pcesress! . Senator Mortou' than sbows that the choice lies between the two patties, aad that the Democratic party has nothing to offer but negations snd dissatisfactions. ., Senator Shertaao of Ohio, has givea hia view of,, the auJtioal situation. He claims that the Administration is reducing tbe public expenditures within the appro priatiuus, aud tkat a firm policy will without difficulty pay the debt within twenty years. The erudition of tbe currency, in Mr Sherman's judgment, is due to the timidity of public oyinion which , opposes its reduction: a ad he holds that, the, : responsibility can not be charged upon eny party. He thinks tbe diseuasiuu of s tariff useless, because at present there is an uadoubtad preference or an indirect to a direct tax. The present tariff is designed to raise about 150,000,000 upon importations; and its protection is purely , incidental, and not s great as to prevent, a tjealtny competition between foreign and domestic manufacturers. Mr. Sherman sums up bis views upon the point ia these woros: -ids question 01 . protection is purely incidental; and until our debt is so reduced tbst we may largely reduce our taxes, it is idle to discuss the mere policy of protection as a measure of national eoonemy. Jt is enough that we must now levy the duties' to raise revenue; and before this oeeesshy cesses tbe manufactories of this couutry wiii be on so stable a footing as to. defy the eompetitioo of tbe world." This is, however, rather a cheerful and dextrous avoidance of the exaot question, which it the true method of levying duties? The speeches of all these gentlemen show a perception of the fact that the party in whioh they are all conspicuous must address itself with such vigor and intelligence to the aotual issues as to con tinue to inspire the confidence which ; it now enjoys. or eight years it has had a positive, progressive, snd therefore a triumphant policy. It has not counseled with its dpubts Sod fears, but with its faith and hope. For however courteous, bowever conciliatory, the lone of party discussion may be, a party policy must be dear, intelligible, and heroic. Whether tbe object be, with Walpole, internal peace, or, with Chatham, foreign victory, tbe policy must be bold end the tendency undoubted. It is not necessary that the Republican -party now unroll a daasling programme of annexation and foreign hectoring to propitiate the worst part of ma poumaiiup, um it is neoesssry mat it grapple atoned with evident and increasing evils. Corruption is one of them. Let the party pronounce upon if by vigorous support of a reform in the civil aervice. 1 be eomplexitv of tho tariff tern of internal taxation alao demand reform. Mr. .Sherman save that he hones soon to see all internal taxes repealed ex eept those en whisky, tobaceo, end ineomea. Let the party demand a simple and efficient system. As for the ourrenev. its regulation, under existing oircumstances, is so entirely a matter of experiment that it would be useless to proclaim the details of any method. While the eouotrv aeea a steady reduction of tie debt, end aa iuV;
