Election, Monday, April 4th.
Four weeks from today, the Freemen of
Connecticut are to declare at the BallotBox,
their preferences for the candidates and the
principles espoused by the two leading po-
litical parties of the country. Our State
then endorses the Adminis tration of Gen.
Grant, its reduction of our taxes and the
national debt at one and the same time; it
will endorse Marshall Jewell and the other
members of the State ticket, and the reduc-
tion of our State debt and our State taxa-
tion, under their official guidance, or it will
declare the war a failure, the Democratic
party worthy of confidence and support,
and full forgiveness for all its black records
of rebel sympathizing and rebel encourage-
ment during the war. Can there be a doubt
as to where a majority of the sober, think-
ing freemen of the State will array them-
selves? We think not, And yet the vote of
every Republican elector should be made
sure. -.
Nothing Like It
There is nothing to equal it in the history
ofnations. During the month of February
the. national debt was reduced $0,484,811 75.
From March 1, 1869 to March 1, 1870, the
' debt was reduced 987,134,879 84.
THE FmTEENTH AMENDMENT._—The an-
nouncement of the passage of the 15th
Amendment allowing men of all colors to
vote, is hourly expected. The delay is un-
derstood to be caused by some bitch in the
Texas returns. We have no doubt that
Texas and Georgia will both be speedily
admitted, and that colored residents in this
.State possessing the required qualifications:
will be enabled to vote on the first Monday
of April.

Rev. Mr. Anderson is to give a lecture
this Tuesday evening, at Lockwood’s Hall,

nishcd with a view of making good the de-
ficiency. We really hope our citizens who
have enjoyed so much by the lectures al-

New Docks.
The Danbury 8; Norwalk Railroad Com-

already established in favor of our South
Norwalk friends, and the sooner we adapt
ourselves to that'condition of things, and im-

New York capitalists were in_ this City
last week to secure the co-pperatlon of‘Bos-

Desperate Attempt to Dob the
New Canaan National {Bank 2
The chronic nervousness of our citizens
was a good deal intensified by the report
which reached us early Friday morning, that
the National Bank of New Canaan ' had
been“ gone through,” after the manner of
the Norwalk Bank Robbery. The particu-
lars soon after furnished, showed it to have
been a bold and even more daring adventure
than in our-own case, but thanks to the re-
sistance of their safe, without result to the
thieves. The detailssuccintly narrated are
as follows :—Wednesday last, a span of
horses before a covered wagon were driven
up to the Stamford House and while the. oc-
cupants, four or five in number, went into
the hotel, the horses were taken out and fed
they apparently, having been driven up
fI‘om New York. The party started off
again late in the evening, but returned again
about daylight Thursday morning. They
had their horses again put out and they kept
their room through the day. At night they
.ordered up their team again and drove off.
and it is said a Stamford ofiicer had his at-
tention directed .to their mysterious move-
ments. '
It would appear that on their first night
out, they had driven to New Canaan to
take observations, for the Bank Watchman,
a Frenchman named Robert Bossa, obscrved
two strange men walking through the main
street just after midnight. These men‘ en-
quired the way to Stamford saying they had
walked down from Ridgefield. A little be-
fore one o’clock on Friday morning, Mr.
Bossa, while walking the stoop in front of
his bank,’was suddenly seized from behind
by three powerful men. After a desperate
struggle, in which he drew his assailants
nearly across the street, shouting “Murder!”
“ help, 85c." His mouth was gagged, a tight
cap slid down over his face and his arms
forced behind and hand-cuffed. Thus se-
cured, but kicking and struggling he was
dragged back to the Bank, with all his
kicks returned, however, with oaths and
other kicks, and amiable threats of cutting
his throat! On gaining the Bank door, it
was instantly opened by still another thief,
who had a skeleton key fitting the lock.
Bossa was taken in, seated in an arm chair
in the Director’s room, his manacles slipped
around the rear round of the chair, and
then drawing his boots his two feet were se-
curely tied to the front round Of the same
chair. Although thus comfortably secured,
it is said poor Bossa was more willing to
“ discount” his situation, than the Directors
ever were the best paper everjofi'cred. One
rufilan sat beside Bassa, talked and question-
ed him, and to stimulate him to entire sub-
mission would occasionally draw the cold
back of his dirk blade across his throat,
Meantime, three others, as Bossa thinks.
were vigorously at work at the vault doors.
There were an outer and an inner iron door
with a wall of brick some 18 inches thick
intervening, capped with a heavy flag stone
on top. A hole was at length made at the
side with hammer and Chisels, and either
powder or glycerine injected and fired. The
explosion was heavy, but the outer with-
stood the shock; the inner one giving way
and a break made in the rear wall of the
masonry. With jimmies and crowbars the
burglars than assaulted the brick work, and
gained an entrance into the vault as soon
as inside, the thief called out to his outer
confederate, “the safe is one of those d—d
Hendrickson’s l” and the discouraging fact
was freely discussed among them. But a
second charge was rapidly prepared and
got into the Safe door. This was abouthalf
past four, and being desperate for lack of
time, it would seem that they overcharged
their load, for when the explosion took
place, it not only madeZa terrific report, but
blew the outer door from its hinges, opened
wide the outside door of the safe, shattered
the massive walls of the vault, and did more
or less injury to the building.
Poor Bossa was nearly stunned by the ex-
plosion, and for some time entirely deafen-
ed by the terrific report. One of the thieves
proposed that the poor fellow should be
carried out while the fuse was being lighted.
But another said: “ No, let him take his
chances;" but he was humanely removed
to the corner of the room, and miraculously
escaped without serious injury. The thieves
went outside to await the result of their fire-
‘ works, and after delaying some five or ten
. minutes, and finding no outcry, returned to
find an inner and stronger door between
them and the valuables. They now halted,
only to again compliment the safe-maker
by their terrible blasphemies, as the early
streaks of dawn began to appear and Edgar
Raymond, ever’ on the alert, having heard
the report a half mile distant and divining
the cause, had ran up town and was raising
an alarm. His movements were quickly re-
ported inside and they made a precipitate
rush out of the building and off across the
country. One more determined thud the
rest, insisted upon another effort, when the
one at the door shouted, “hurry up, Jake,
or you’ll be captured!” N. W. Hoyt, Lucius
Monroe and others, having been roused by
Raymond, were soon out of their; beds
and at the Bank, where they discovered that
for the lack of fifleen minutes more time,
their fellow-citizens had saved at least a
hundred thousand dollars.
Poor Bossa was found more. dead than
alive. The humane scamps had wrapp’ed
his feet up in an old'blankct, but with the
cold, confined position, terrific concussion
and more terrible ordeal he had gone
through, he was in a most pitiable plight,
although few men could have stood the or-
deal so heroically as he did. Bossa thinks
there were six of them, two outside guards,
one over-him, and three at work at the vault
and safe.
A rumor reaches us that Bossa’s first out.
cries were heard by the inmates ofa house
opposite, but from fear, no alarm was rais-
ed.‘ We do not vouch for the report and
really hope it is untrue.
Bossa was not dry and declined at profi‘er-
ed drink of whiskey. He was assured that
. if he' attempted any noise, or told any lies in
answer to questions, he would get his throat
cut.
For these considerate attentions and es-
pecially for their tenderness in wrapping up
his feet, Bossa wsnts to tender them his op-
pressive sense of obligation.
The attempt was evidently well planned
and the escape of our friends from a mOst
serious disaster, is no doubt to be attributed
to the care and forethought ot the Bank
managers in having provided such a vault
and safe as would oppose the greatest possi-
ble delay. Their safe was procured upon
the earnest solicitation of Mr. St. John, as
we learn, since the Bank‘ of Norwalk rob-
bery. They are to be congratulated, and as
for Bossa, he deserves to be a life pensioner
of the Bank. Mr. S. Y. St.John, the Cash-
ier, publishes a card elsewhere. 5
s11 CARD.
In consequence of the-late daring attempt
to rob our Bank, and to save any undue
fear as to what would have been the conse-
quences to our depositors, in case the at-
tempt had been successful, and more espe-
cially to the depositors incur Savings Bank,
I deem'it proper to state that if theburglars
had made a clean‘ sweep of everything in
the safe, they would not have carried away
anything belonging to the New Canaan Sa-
vings Bank that they could make any pos-
sible use of or that would have paid for the
powder they burned; and for one hundred
dollars, or less, we could have replaced ev-
ery obligation whatever. .
The officers of our Savings Bank fully be-
lieve that everything entrusted to them is
made as safe and secure as anything of that
nature can be, and they intend that it shall
be so hereafter—so that if our friends hear
at any time that we have been robbed, they
may rest assured their funds, at least are
safe. ' .
The stockholders of the National Bank,
and those who make Special deposits ‘with
us for safe keeping, merely, would have been
the only sufferers—the former about the
. : :«ZI * L L.
amount of our surplus—the latter we know
not how much, as we take no account or Ere-
sponsibility in the matter, only:;,glad to ac-
cOmmodate them to the extent ofthe capac-
ity of our safe, and promising to take the
same care of their property as We do of Our
own, and we are confident they may rest
secure; for in view of all the circumstan-
ces we shall hereafter trust our vault
and safe with the precautions we are now
taking to make “ assurance doubly sure,”
more confidently than ever.
Our safe was one of E. M. Hendrickson’s,
only the outer door of which was blown
open or at all injured—even the lock of the
inner door was not disturbed at all, but
readily worked to our figures and opened
without the least trouble, but revealing very
plainly the terrible storm and commotion
that shed been felt—packages of money
had been unstrapped and scattered all about
the safe—the lids of all the tin boxes were
more or less jammed and smashed 'with
marks of powder visible all around —and‘l
have no doubt if the same charge had been
put in a “single door ” safe it would have
mutilated and destroyed everything. inside
so as ,to be utterly worthless, and the bur-
glars would have been no better off than
now. s
This safe, which was made for us last fall,
did all that its maker promised us, which
was this: “ If anybody ever gets powder
enough inside the outer door to force it
open, it would tear down our vault and
alarm the neighborhood.” And this it' did
literally. ' '
A gentleman of experience from N ew
York, and President of a Savings Bank,
who made a minute and lengthy examina-
tion a day or two after, said he ‘f did not be-
lieve there was a sate in New York City, of
any make, that would have stood the oper-
ation more satisfactorily than ours, and that
we had reason to be more than satisfied.
Asking the indulgence of our correspon-
dents for a day or two longer, and gratetlll
for the sympathy manifested in our misfor-
tunes, we confidently expect in a very few
days to be ready for any emergency, trust-
ing in a good Providence and Mr. Hend-
rickson’s “ heavy artillery.”
Respectfully, S. Y: ST. JOHN, Cash’r.

On board Brig Harriet, 011‘ Cape
Henry, Feb. 28th, 1870. }
GEO. W. SELLECE.
DEAR SIR -It is my pain-
ful duty to tell you that we left the Baxter
200 miles S. E. of Cape Hatteras, on Sunday
Feb. 20. We experienced heavy galcs from
the time of leaving Hampton Roads until
we left her. On Tuesday night, Feb. 15, we
lost ourjib entirely, while hove to near Hate
teras. Friday ‘ following, while hove to
again, lost our rudder, got clear of it Satur-
day forenoon—foresail partially gone, and
schooner leaking badly. It was deemed
best to leave her before another gale came
on, ifwe got the chance. Sunday last the
brig Harriet came along bound for Balti-
more, nnd took us off. In three hours after
the wind Was blowing a gale S. which con-
tinued for a week fl'om all points of the
compass, principally N. W. I have but lit-
tle doubt but that the schooner sunk the
night after we left her. If we had been fur-
ther to the westward we might have been
seen by some steamer and taken in tow; as
it was, we thought we were doing the best
we could under the circumstances.
The .brig’s boat was stove by,a sea the
day before falling in with us. They used
our boat to save our stores and what rig-
jib, with some blocks. All this we would
have been glad to have done ourselves, but
they wanted to do it themselves for their
greater gain. It got rough so that compara-
tively little could be saved. I want you to
come On to Baltimore immediately so that
you can attend to the things, for they (the
brig owners,) may think they are to have
all, to pay for their trouble. Of course, the
provisions have been made common stock.
Enquire, for Kirkland and Chase, Brig
Harriet, Smith’s Dock, and you will find of
my whereabouts. We have none of us any
money. I shall try to get the crew taken to
New York free,if any steamer is going that
way. It is a sorrowful piece of work for
me to have to write these tidings to you, so
different from what you were expecting, but
I can do no different. The weather since
we left New York until now has been a
calm or a storm, with about six days storm
to one calm. The rudder twisted complete- _
ly off the post.. The pintles broke and it
went altbgether. The jib was sung furled-
when it fihed away ;' nothing could be
done for it, as no one could live on the bow-
sprit a minute. If the schooner had been
even partially insured my task of writing
would have been easier. But the truth can-
not be altered. The schooner is gone and
little or nothing saved. I will' telegraph
you when I reach Baltimore if I do not find
you there. You may not make much by
coming, but it will be a great satisfaction to
me, and I doubt not to you.
I am as ever yours truly,
HENRY JONES.
Capt. Selleck went down to Baltimore on
Friday, returning again on Saturday, there
being no prospect of the brig arriving for
some days. The Baxter cost $13,500 and
was nearly now. She had left our harbrr
only a few days previous. Her wreck
is a severe loss to the worthy owners, but
they are consoled to know that all hands
were saved. '

W J oel, Benton, the Poet Editor of the

.a lecture delivered by Rev. Mr. Davies of
South Norwalk, Feb. 25th :—
“ The lecture on Friday evening, in Tay-
lor’s Hall ‘An Englishman’s First Imps-es:
sions of Americf—was very entertaining in
style, and of peculiar merit. Both ‘its' mat-
ter and manner were calculated _to arrest
and hold attention; and the interest 'of the
audience seemed perfect] kept up.
'It had a racy colloquia flavor, too, and a.
certain ease in presentment, that were cal-
culated to win . the hearers. , Mr. Davies
unites many excellent qualities cg _a public
speaker; and has a personal vivacity and
warmth, that are mégnettc. We should call
him a union of the mine andEnglishman,
in which the best parts of both are we
preserved." .

Letters from the People.
NORWALK, Ct., March 5th, 1870..
MESSRS. EDITORS :--As you have very
kindly offered the use of your columns to
hear my views in regard to . the location of
“ That Bridge,” I will praceed to ventilate
the matter, and have to say that while I do
not wish to stand in the way of public im-
provements, I most emphatically ()1ij when
such improvements are to be made at my
sole and individual espouse. The plan‘sought
to be accomplished amounts simply to la-
galized highway robbery—legalized by the
rascally law which ullowa thefiking for
public purposes, ofa man’s whole posses-
sions, without any adequate compensation,
saying that he is benefitted thereby, and as-
sessing benefits on him to make him pay
for being robbed. The rascality of the law
is apparent, and its projectors and framers
ought to be hung “ without benefit of cler-
gy.” Under the old systemof highway rob-
bery the victim had the right to shoot his
assailant, but your gentlemen highwaymen
of the modern school are protected by the
“law ”—and more’s the pity. .
And you, Messrs. Editors, with others,
have urged that to take my whole lot (for it
would virtually amount to that) would en-
hance the value of the place—then it fol-
lows that ifthey should take every foot of
ground from me, the value of the place
would be doubly enhanced ; but I must con-
fes's'to having so thick a skull that I fail to
see it in that light, -
As to the exact location of “ that Bridge”
the public at large care nothing—further
than that the tax-payers do not see the ne-
cessity of, or advantage to be derived from
making the town or borough pay for a new
right of way, when they have already a
good and sufficient highway within‘ three
rods of the proposed new route. “ Self-pres-
ervation is the first law of nature ”—and I
have resisted this measure not for purposes
of speculation, but to save myself from be-
ing summarily squelched out,
The Scheme of crossing my yard had its
inception and nourishment in the fertile
brains-of two or three individuals’who own
property on the opposite side of the river,
and who hoped and expected by forcing the
road‘thrther south, to acquire the old high.
way adjacent to said property, and which
to them would-be a valuable acquisition.
.To the parties so" anxious to land the
bridge on my premises, I now make
this proposition, viz: They to pur-
chase and make ovcrto me, a ion on the
St. John property opposite my house and
next the river, of equal dimensions with the
one I now occupy, and I will give the bor-
ough the right of way through my yar .
Even in that case I would not be a gain
as the lot opposite is lower, and liable to be
swept by freshets. This offer, I think the
public will admit is nothing more than fair.
It is claimed by Mr. Bishop and otherl.
that taking my lbt for the road would save
the town two‘thousand dollars. Well, if it
is worth that to the town, it is worth more
than that to me, as it would damage my
place more than that.
Gentlemen can take my offer or reject it—
but of One thing they can rest assured: I
am nbtgbing to have my throat Cut by any
man, or any orgami’ed gang of men without
a fight.
Thanking you, Messrs, Editorg, for the
use of your columns, I ain you‘rs, &c., ‘
