Sncad, who was presont, that gomo ouc was iusido, but tho bank oflicers thought that the door had ‘only beon accidontally fastened, as in somotimes tho cago in banks, and it was not until evening, | aftor drilling through tho door and drlviuq back the bolt, that the truc situation rovealed itselt, Thofloor of the vault was covered with ‘papers of all kinds, nud fragmonts of brick- worlk; the large Diebold, Behmonn & Co. safo was blown open und ritled; nnd loss irroparabla starod the oflicors in the face. A smaller safe, ou tho caut sido.of tho vault, was untouched. Dotoctive Gallaghor, on examivation, found a pieco of the cast-iton ceiling of tho vault, about two fept squaro, which had boon drilled out of tho southonst corner of the chambor. Qetting through this ! aperturo, it was discovered that o holo had been cut in the floor, six foot above tho Lrick work, over tho vault, leading to the offico of K. W.

Romoving the books and mntfinf under thom, it was discov- ored that tho planks of the floor had been cut about two feet square and roplaced. Taking the pioces up, the mothod of gotting into the vault was discovered. ‘The vauit is 11 feot 2 inchos by 4 feot 2 inches, and 7 feot 6 inches high, Itis mnde of cast-iron one inch thick, a mixturo of Tonnossoe and Ala- bama iron, boing hard matorial, as evidont {from the drilling in the coiling—soft iron showing o dull surface when tho drill penotrates, and hard iron showing a smooth surface.

Butler's next move was to'got his bill hitched on to an appropriation bill. Ho made the first effort to accomplish this on Xeb, 11, when ho moved to suspend the rules so ns to instmet tho Appropriations Committee to bring in the bill as apart of tho Miscollancous Appropriation bill, thion about to be reported to the 1louse, Ho was beaton by & voto of 81 yons to 110 uays, but he ainod & point—lie got o chowing of hands ; he finow the strength of his forces, and could seo how many recruits ho must got to win, e ind foreseon that it was esgential to socuro tho help of tho ontgoing members, who ngmbored nearly 100, and ,thoro wus -only onsé way to do thie: by ollowing them to share in tho profits of tho proposed raid on the Tronsury, {o thoroforo insertdd the words, “inoludin ‘memborn of tho XLIld Congress," the offect ol which was to muke the incroase rotronctive—go- ing back two yoars, DRUAMIING UP RECRUITY, Up to this time comparatively few mombers had faith in the process of the movement, and very littlo had been kald about it in the informal canvnsses in the lobbies and cloak-rooms, which influonce tho disposition of Lills fur more than the dobatos upon tho floor, Now It was scon that the bill kad a strong backing of plodged supportors, aud an notive canyass for recruita bogan, Lafo in tho might of AMonday 46th, Butler aprung his Dbill upon tho Ifougo, 88 un amendment to the Lrcous tive, Logislativo, :and Judiclal Appropristion bllly, whivh hind come back fromn the Souate with amondmonts, No ong but the frionds of the measure bad notico of his inlention.
