IF there was ever a solemn farce it was the testimony taken yesterday in St. Louis upon the question of McKee's previous goodeharacter. He has been the proprietor of a Republican newspaper for years.

GOVERNOR HENDRICK'S chances for the Presidency are daily improving, A correspondent of an eastern paper writing recently says, that through Iowa, Michigan, Wisconsin aud Minnesota he is tbe favorite Statesman among all classes of Democrats and will have strong backing from that section iu the National Convention. As everything connected with a man at present so prominent is interesting, we advert to an attack upon him recently made by Col. C. W. Woolley, through the columns of the Cincinnati Enquirer. The charge preferred against him, and the notice the Governor takes of it, are well set forth in an interview held with him by a reporter of the Indianapolis Evening News, whose account we subjoin. It *ays:
A representative of the News this afternoon sought an interview with Governor Hendricks, intending if consistent with the Governor's idea of political policy, to secure a statement concerning the charges made against His Excellency by Col. C. W. Woolley, through the columns of tbe Cincinnati Enquire. Certain portions of tbjs letter charged that tho Governor had violoted his pledged word, and so grave an accusation not only «xcited comment among the Governor's enemies, bnt als© among his friends. The following extract is taken from tho letter in question:
As to the second choice of New York which is Mr. Hendricks, it is notorious heie that he became a candidate before the National Convention of 18GS in diviolation of a personal pledge made at his own house in Indianapolis on the night of the 4th of January in that year, and that he wouid support Mr. Pendleton, and would not permit his own name to used against him. It is also known here that at that time he was under an agreement,made through mutual friends, to run as Vice Presidential candidate with Gen* Babcock for President that the Hon. C. D.Campbell and others met him in Washington City on the 13th of that month, in a Hancock and Hendricks conference, and thbt he told Gen. James B. Steedman, on the 1st of May following of his continued adherence to Haneock.
When the reporter showed this to Gov. Hendricks, and he was made aware of the nature of tho call, he replied: "Mr. Woolley has been making frequent statements about the conversation at my house, hut I have always declined to make any statement about it myself. Nobody was present at that time, except Mr. Woo]l\?, myself and Mrs. Hendricks."
This was all that he felt at liberty to say and from the nature of the case, the motive of his delicacy i3 readilyseen. A counter statement from tbe Governor would call ont a reply from Mr. Wooley. Mr. Hendricks being the only witness, would be necessarily be drawn into a political controversy,
^ews *3 positive the Gov-
vgbtiS-SUTSz.-• ernor would not consent to, not even I if it secured tbo "Presidency of the United States, a feeling both i-oiinueiul-alile and manly. & CO,, Prop'rs,

St. Louis, Jan. 27.
HENRY ifAKDAWAY
testified that he never wenfc to lingelkes to see McKeo and urge him to use his influence with Joyce, to get him, (the witness,) an interest in the Busb.y dist illery, nor did he ever talk with McKee on that subject. Engelke never told the witness he had seen McKee about such a matter. Witmss denied positively every conversation and statement testified by Engelke, concerning him.
On cross examiuation the witness stated he had at one time, an interest in the Busby distillery, but paid nothing to the rine fund. Joyce told him that ho would not be required to do so. D. II. Honser,, McICee's business partner, testtfied to ttie Internal arrangment of the Globe office, at the time of the alleged interview between Engelke and McKee.
CONSTANTINE MCGUIUE,
collector of the district, after Colonel Ford, teatified and denied that he ever gave Concannon any date or memoranda from which to write to the department at Washington, relative to the papers missing from the collector's office. He knew nothing about the matter, never had the papers, and they did not disappear during his term of office. Concannon never told witness that he met Joyce and Fitzroy and Bevis at tho collector's office, aud told tbem where these papers wore kepi. warned them against destroying tne documents, andlelt so he shouldn't see what they did with them. Concannon did, however, tell witness that the last time ho saw tho papers they were in charge of Johnson, a clerk in the office, and that he could not account for the disappearance of them unless they went like some stamps for which Johnson had been held responsible. Witness gave a denial to Concannon's testimony regarding these missing papers, iu which lie (Concannon) k&d iu any way connected Magrue. In August, 1874, witness was requested by Engelke to use his influence to have some whisky of his released from seizure in Colordo, and the Commissioner of Internal Kevenue was written to about tho matter aud Collector Parser, of Colorado, was also written to on the subject. McKee also spoke to witness about the seizure of these goods. Witness' action in this matter was the result of a friendly feeling between him Engelke.
EDWARD BURGES3.
testified to having a desk in the office of the St. Louis Counter Railrood Co., in connection with Concannon, after he left the revenue service, and never knew or heard that it was br* kon open and papers extracted from it.
THOMAS WALSH,
Superintendent of the new custom house, testified to kaving a conversation with Fitzroy, just beforo the McDonald trial, in which Fitzroy said he was sorry for Maguire, because he was mixed up with the whisky frauds, but that he would yet get even with McKeo,

UERHANY AND THE CLERGY.
A'phouse Forms an Alliance With the Defenders oflleligious Liberty.
THE CABLE COMPANY.
London, Jan. 27.—The Times iu its fiuaucial article says: The charge against the direct United states Cable Company, of having withheld from the stock exchange information that the cable was broken, is a serious one, and should be cleared up to the satisfaction of all interested. We think it right to meution that the statement made by ti3 yesterday, on the authority of tbe chairman of the company, is positively contradicted. The intimation wa9, as we are informed, not received at the stock exchange till some minutes past eleven, it is stated that the break was known by the company about an hour earlier,
VICTORIA.
London, Jan. 27.—A Berlin dispatch says it is ex^c^ed that Queen Victoria will visit tho Imperial Court while she is in Germany.
THIS GERMAN REICHSTAG. Berlin, Jan. 27.—In Iteichstag today, amendments to the penal code were considered. The clause imposing penalties on members of secret societies, and the clause directed against acts inciting hostility between different classes, and attacking national institutions, were reject*1 ed. Count Von Entenburg, minis* ter of the interior, declared that the aim of the red republic with communism and atheism, the new penal provisions, were required to obviate the necessity of some day drawing swords.

Judge Knight, of the Circuit Court, Ex-Governor Trusler Polk, Judge Long, surveyor of the port of St. Louis, B. G. Brown, J. H. Britton, Mayor of tbe city, S. Knok, a prominent lawyer, D. W. Bell, a leading merehaht, all of whom had known McKee for many yoars, testified to his good character, business integrity, etc.
JOSEPH P.. MCCUriTjOUGH,
managing editor of the Globe-Demo-^ crat, testified that a great number ol people were in the habit of calling on McKeo for consultation regarding matters in which they were interested. Especially office seekers, politicians, and persons who desired tho exercise of influence, and. that McKee always seemed to take a great deal of interest in these people, and was ever ready to give advice or assistance if possible.
Wm. H. Benton, ex-Governor Thom as C. Reynolds, ex-Mayor J. Brown, Dr. J. B. Johnson, John G. Priest, H. Overstoltz, Jndge Werner, Judge Allen, Chas. G. Ramsey, Stephen Redely, J. C. Yogel, General John S. Cavender, B. R. Bonner, W. C. Carr, EC. C. Yaeger, Judge Wagner, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, testified to McKee's good character, and to never having heard it questioned until this affair. These gentleaaen are among the oldest, most respectable and prom inent citizens of St. Louis, and have known McKee frcm ten to thirty-five years.
The defence then introduced indict merits against certain witnesses for the Government. Also the false monthly and bi-monthly reports of tho distillery, made to the Collector's office concerning the spirits made by them.
MB. STRANGE,
book keeper of Bernecke & Engelke, testified to having heard a part of the conversation between Engelke and Hardaway, but' could not tell the exact nature of it. Engelke lelt Hardaway, but returned shortly afterwards and renewed the conversation, and Hardaway seemed to be satisfied. This witness was called "by the defense for the purpose of showing that Engelke had an interview with Hardaway about getting interest on the Bushy distillery, aud Engelke was requested to see McKeo about it.
DEFENCE THEN RESTED,
and it was agreed that speeches should be made on each side, beginning tomorrow, the defence opening and arguing alternately.
The trials ol whisky cases have been postponed until Monday. Chicago, Jan. 27.—A. C. Hessing and J. Rhem appeared in tbe Unitod States District Court this morning and gave bail in the amount of $30,000 -ach. The Judge reduced the amount alter the arguments by the counsel for the defence and for the prosecution. The latter, Mr. Boutell, intimated that the indictments gave only a bare intimation of the nature and extent of the charges against these parties, The eharges were the gravest that had ever been incorporated into an indictment in all his ten years connection with tho office of United States District Atiornev. They were no less than that these "men had robbed the Government of its revenue and put the same in their pockets. Messrs. Campbell and JuBsen presented the other side of the case, declaring that the indictments were for things that were only a trifle compared to what others had plead guilty of, and yet bail was fixed in the cases of distillers, in no instance, higher than ten thousand dollars each.
Chicago, Jan. 27.—J. F. Hoyt also had his bail reduced .from $60,000 to $10,000 on representation of his counsel,.and he gave bail in the amount.
GERMANY AND THE CLERGY. Cologne, Jan. 2G.—The Gazette, of this city, says: Notwithstanding the reiterated denials of the ultramontane journals, we learn from Berlin the Catholic-clergy and laymen are using their influence with the pope to obtain his sanction for a formal submission to thefalk laws, in confident hope that they will be able to deprive them of their efficacy against tho chutcn. A pamphlet is announced from the pen of Herr Reicheners of the party, which is understood to be intended to clear the way for the proposed compromise.
The Bavarian Pfielzer Zeituug, says that the Bavarian Minister has been admoeished from Berlin to dis* continue the exemption from conscription hitherto accorded to priests and theological students. The Zeito uug saya that at the next conscrlp0 tion a full ordained Capuchin priest aud a number of students will be re (juried to come.

A HALF MILLION OF MONEY THAT A GANG OF EXPRESS ROBBERS FAILED TO GET.
Toledo, Jan. 27.—A well laid plan to rob tne express car of the night express coming east from Chicago last night, was frustrated, all the parties thereto being arrested.
The officials of the express company in this city, received information of the plot nearly a week ago, and Superintendent Kane and Agent Chapin, together with the Chief of Police and two detectives, left the city last night, and joined the east bound train at Arcliold,0,, stationing themselves in the express and baggage cars. At Wauseon, four former employes of the railroad company got on board,and as soon as the train was well under way, proceeded to bore out part of one of the panels in the door of the express car, during which operation a preconcerted signal was given, and the officers in waiting pounced upon and secured tbe entire paiiy, who are now in jail here. The safe in the express car contained $275,000 in currency, and over $125,000 in bullion.
A DEFAULTING TREASURER.
New Brunswick, N. J. Jan. 27.—Jon atban Earle, Treasurer of the Norfolk and New Brunswick Hosiery Company. is defaulterer to the amount of $142,000. He has turned over property and stock sufficient to cover the defalcation, but the securities are not convertible atpresent.lt appears that his cousin, Earle, of New York, kept his bank acconnts, and wss given blank checks signed by Earle, as Treasurer,to fill out when requiredjto meet the bills and liabilities of the company, and that in having the blank checks signed at command, he has overdrawn the account to the amount stated. It is said that young Earle speculated in Wall street.
A FATAL RESISTANCE.
Cincinnati, Jan. 27.—The Enquirer's Huntington, West Virginia special says: L. Peckett, Deputy Sheriff of Franklin county, Arkansas, reached Carreville, West" Virginia, last Monday with a requisition for Damron, indicted lor manslaughter, accompanied by Sheriff Si rotherot Waj'ne county. He followed Dararon to his hiding place aud demanded his surrender. Damron blew out tbe lights in the house and armed with a double-barrel-ed rifle and two pistols attempted resistance. In the melee Damron was shot near the heart and almost instantly killed. Sheriff Peckett left for home but was arrested at Cattlesburg, but the facts
on

was immediately released. A FAILURE. Cincinnati, January 27.—A Commercials' special says eight prisioners in the Athens county, Ohio jail, attempted to escape by burning one end ol the

A SUCCESSFUL BANK 15 Eli Y.
ROB-
TJU: ROBBERS CARRY LARGE AMOUNT OF STOCK AND'iiONDS.
A List of 1 he Securities Taken.
Boston, Jan. 'Jr.—The robbers entered the of house cashier Whittlesay, and bound' gagged and gaurded for hours the seven people. They com" pelled him to give them the combinations of the safe vault, waited until they knew the night watchman had gone home, and then getting into the vault and safe with only ono of the four keys needed, they took a large amount of securities. An expert had to be summoned from New York, aud the lock was not opened until an early hour this morning. Cashier Whittlesay when asked to give the
three
combinations to the vault for the outer, inner and chestdoors, gave them wrong twice, but the burglers took them down and made him repeat them, and of course caught him in the attempt to mislead them, and the exposition of a pistol compelled him to tell the truth, though he told them that four kevs were necessary to open the patent lock, three of which were at the liouseo of other bank officers. At 4 o'clock a. m, Whittlesay was taken to a down stairs bed room. The whole family were gagged, and tour of the burglars withdrew to operate on the bank. Three hours after Mrs. Whittlesay succeeded in freeing herself, and giving alarm from the window, the whole party were speedily liberated, and the cashier still wearing the hand cuffs, went to the bank. At the house a workman soon after fitted a key, and all the persons hand cuffed were released. An examination of the bank showed that the men had un'ocked the outer door, but were apparently balked by the sale lock lacking three of the requisite keys. They tried to get oil the door with bars, aud wrenched oil the dial which served as an index for the working combination. They were entirely unmolested, the watch having gone home. There is every indication that six, and perhaps all of them, left on the 0 o,ciock train live of tliem had tickets previously bought, and one iiI his fare. Many cf the appliances, jt was remarked, were home made. The gags were childrens' rubber balls pierced with a still wire. The masks were drawers legs, some with one hole aud some with two for the eyes. When the robbers saw that Whitlesay was watching them carefully for some marks of identification, they blindfolded him, but he observed that one of them was a very commanding stature. The two or three left to guard the premises at the house took their departure in season to catch the Springfield train. At last advices no information had been received ot the robbers. The table of tbe funds taken is as follows* Missouri State bonds, $15,000 Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific railroad, $5,000 Lake
Shore & Michigan Southern shares, $3,000 Chicago Burlington & Quincy. eights, $1,000 Cleveland, Columbus & Cincinnati, $2,000 Un ion Pacific, $44,000 Ohio and Missis sippi, second mortgages, $165,000 United States bonds, $55,000 Atcbi son, Topeka & Santa Fe, $15,000 Fort Wayne, Jackson & Saginaw, $12,000 Ogdensburg Pacific, $30,000, registered stock and bonds of the Uuited States and various corporations, $350,000 to $400,000 greenbacks and national bank bills, $10,000 De troit, Lansing & Lake Michigan $9,000, New York and Erie bonds $7,000 marine and State bonds $18,000 Hudson river railroad bonds, $5,000. The following are the num« ber of securities abstracted: Two C. C. & I, bonds, No. 114 and 115, Two O. & M. bonds, No. .'5,393 and 3,394. Three Lake Shore '& Michigan Southern sinking funds, No. 60, 61 and 221. Fortywtwo thousand Union Pacific sinking fund cou* pon bonds of one thousand dollars each, Nos. 5,112 to 5,154 mdlusive of the total amount stolen. Loss over 12,000, falls on the bank. The heaviest individual suffers as follows: Ex-Judge C. E. Forbess 100,000, United States six per cent, bond* registered 28,200, 5 per cent, registered and 7Q,000 national stocks, H. Hinckley $60,000, in United States bonds Henry Bright, a large amount of ne gotiable bonds J. S, Lathrop, $30, 000 Georgia bonds Joseph Warner, $14,000 negotiable bonds O. G. Spellman, $3,000 negotiable bonds Wm Gay lord, $50,000 United States bonds Mrs. L. M. Turner, Dr. S, A, Fiske, R. Krigman and H. O. Collins are also among the principal sufferers
A small safe iu the vault which the burglars considered too insigniflcaut to touch, contained $30,000 deposited by Harvey Kirkland, and $55,000 iu bonds belonging to the Hopkins' academy, and much other valuble prop erty By locking the doors of the vault the burglars got twenty hours start of the detectives, besides having time to negotiate much of the stolen proparty before the fact of the burglary was known.
