Thus were the words of George Washington verified, ALD. THHOMPEON, A LAROE AND ENTIIUSIASTIC MASS-MEETING ot the Republicans of the Thirtecnth Ward favorable to the re-clection of Ald. II G. Thompson was held last evening fn Henz' Ifall, West Lake strect, Mr, James Frake in the chair. Mr. Frank J. 8mith made a brief spcech in sup- port of the canaldacy of Mr. Thompson, aml pronounced him to be the best possiblo man for the position, He believed that the work already done by Ald. Thompson was 8o enrnest of good work in the future, und belicved also that the peopls of the ward would fudorse him agaln ot the primaries and on the day of electlon. A, Ullbert sald that be did not koow much ahout the way uw{ were running things {n that ward, but tluit be had heard a good deal about “*Long'* Joncs, of Jo Davlcas County, in con- neetivn with it.” [Ie did not think lhntun?'lhln;z was to bo rained by one candidate or his friends Vblackguarding the other candidate, He only knew that Ald, Thompson bad made a good record in the Councll, und bad worlied well In the Interest of ceonomy. It had been urged ngainst Mr, Thomopson that be had opposed the extensfon of the raflrond tracks, and had not been 8o active as lic should have been In oblain- ing sewers nnd other improvements in the ward, Furthermore, the speaker supposed that there: waa the usual sweeplnug charge Lrought againat all Aldermen, that e had not obtafned situa- tions for cnough men. Mr. Gilbert showed that the renson why school-houses, scwers, sud other improvements had not been built was be- cause of the depleted condition ot the City Treasury, o result_of the free-aud.casy Colvin Adminlstration, It was impossible” for an Aldorman to dictate to the Dopartment where sewers should be built, and uuless the mouey nppropriated was actually in the Treasury the work conld not be done, It wus the same with the sclioul-houses; the Alderman eould not command them 1o be bullt, and ndeed only two had been ereeted within the past two years, The speaker pald a glowlng tritnte to the abllity und inteerity of All, Thompseo amnd Knopf, and declared ~ that the Thirteenth Ward could not possibly NAVE TWO DETTER REIRESENTATIVES than those two eentlemen, If they wanted a man, nut to represent chques or partics, hut houestly to work lor the good of the ward aud the city, they should re-clect Ald. Thompson, [Applause.] j Ald, Waldo said_that he, too, had watched the course of Ala, Thompson fa the Council, and felt nssured that he had done Lis full duty, He thought the people of the ward should show thelr appreeiation of thut gentleman's conduct by triuntphantly re-electiny hini. Lone speeches were not needed, but they should all go to work, and on election day be would prove successful above all his compelitors, A, Scaton sald that after two years' experl- cence fn_the Council lie believed thut no better man could be found to represent the "Thirteenth Ward than Ald. Thompson. Tuat gentleman did 1ifs best to obtafn the extension of the rail- road track on Lnke stroet, and thut it was not his fanlt if be bnd not Bucceeded, As to the complaint about sewers, the Counctl had declded thut it wus not wise at the present time to go to a great exponse, estimated st $525,000, to drain that part of the elty west of the Great Eastern track. With regard to the echiool-house ques- tion, the educational intercsts ot the ward were ably Jooked after by the members of the Buard of Educeation from ‘that ward, and Ald. Thomp- son could do nothing to sccure them school- houscs. The apeaker coneluded by recommend- i a1l present to vole and work for the re-clee- tion of Ald. Thompson, ' Mr. B, G. Gl satd hio was hoortily In favor of Ald, Thompsen's re=clecifon, and was golng to work for bitn straizht nloty, He belleved that the people of the ward \\‘lmlld rally in support of Ald. "Thompeon and fu'delense of his nctions. They had in bim' a good man of business: not one who spent all his time around the City-Hall, looking for men who wanted something, It waa a pity that peopte abiould have gone so far. .out on the prairic that they wers beyond the reach of fmnrovementa, * e would venture to say that Mr. Hayes' monoy pald for the ssuc of the bandbills snd *dodgers® which called for the meeting 81 independent citizens to take netfon on the seweraze question. ‘The moeting which wua ield purported to be ono of Repub- Heans, and yet they put in as Chairmun Mr, A, (.

Desporate Fncounter In the Mountalns of Australia—~Tlirce Constablas Killed in the Fight—A Startling Hlatory of Crime, On tbe 25th of' Octobor,—soys s Melbourne correspondent of the London 7\mes, writing un- der date of Oct. 28,—a party of Victorian police in acarch of Edword Kelly and his brother, two horze-atealers, who had been for a long time In hiding in the Boechworth Mountains, were sur- vrised [ thelr eamp. Threo Conatables were killed, and a fourth escaped to tell how they had been sbot down by the Kellys and two men, sinco known o4 Hart and Byrne. This outrage, unprecedented in-the colony, caused great ex- citement. The murdercrs were outlawed, and 4500 was offered for the body of any of them, dead or alive. Policemen and voluntecrsscoured the country In pursult, and day after day the papera reported rumors of the outlaws having been seon In this place or that, and the unsuccessful efforta of tho pollce to find them, Teople had ceased to take an interest in theso fruitless expeditions, when news came of them in an unexpected shape, On the 11th of Decem- ber a telegram informed us that thoy had rob- bed the Natfonal Bank at Euroa, a small town- ship about a hundred mlles from Melbourne on the northeasternline, kad “stuck up” the Faith- fulls Creek station, and made vrisoncrs of more than tbirty men, women, and children. \When the detalls came to hand they wero surprising. It appearcd that the station bad been taken mercly a8 a base of operations upon the banl, about four milcs distant, und that the affalr had been carried through with consummate coolness and address. About 11 in the moruftiz Edward Kclly watked up to the homestead at Faithfulls Creek, aud, when he found that two scrvants were the only occupants of the house, ho catled up his three companions. They demanded food for themselves and thelr horses, and were quickly attended to on mentloning their names. As the men employed on the station came in, two or threoat o time, they were told to bail up, —timt Is, to throw up thelr hande,—and, on complylng, were taken to tle store-room, a de- tached bullding, and locked up there, one of tho bushrangers stunding sentry with o rifie lu eackt hand and abelt 1ull of “revolvers. By nightfail seventeen mngla were shut up in the storeroom, fncluding o hawker who had come through with his wagon, from whichk Kelly’s party supplied themselves with new suits of clothes of the most approved bush fashion. The night passed quletly. In the morning four vis- itors from Melbourne, on a shooting excursion, were ndded to the inmates of the store. After breakfast the bushrangers proceeded to break down the posts of the’ telegraph Jine to Mel- bourne nud to Benalln, where a number of po- licemon were stationed. Three of the party then started for Euron, two driving the Lawk- er's wazon and ocart und one riding. ‘The fourth remained ot the atation to puard the prisoners, ‘I'he bauk was reactied about 4 inthe nfternvon, when it was closed to the publle. ‘I'hie robbers got iu, pretending that they wished to lodge & check, und then shut the door, ordered the manarer and his two clerks to ball up, ebtained the kevs of the safe, wid Lielped themselves to cash and gold to the value of about £500 and to notes for £1,600, When thie was doue they determined to keep the township in iznorance of what Lad happened by carting away all the inmates of the bank, Be- elde tne clerks wnd the mausger, Uiey bad to dispose of the munager's wifs, ber mothicr, seven children, und two femuly servants. ‘The wagon and cart. would not hold themn all, so they took the mauager’s horse und buggy from the Lank stables. ‘Ulien they started. Edward Kelly led the way, driving the hawker’s wagon. Qne of the ladies followed, driving the buges; then came Dantel Kelly, driviug the cart; aud Hart brought up the rear on horseback, 'he robbera were armed 1o the teeth, but thd procession louked g0 lkea family party on on excursion that it passed out of the towprhip and by the one Constable at the police oftize without at- teactlng attentiou. Asrived at Falthfulls Creck everything was qulct, the prisouers were safe, and another hiad been sent to julu them,~—a line repairer who bad looked in for .uaslstants to mend the broken telezraph. After re- freshing themselves, the gung took *their departure about 0fn the cvenng, setting free one ol the prisoners ta enable bitn to release the othiers atter they had got a clear start, The im- punlty with which this lmpudent exploit bad heen accomplished astonlshed everybody, The police hind been completely outwitted, and the thne chosen lor the robbery showed thut 1he Kellys had friends in the district from whom they obtalued trustworthy information. ‘The reward for Edward Kelly wos ut once raised to £1,0005 additional search parties were sent out equipped for servive, und, to quiet the cencral alarm, the Goyeruor billeted artillerymen from., the Gurrieon Corps on such of the up-country banlks as chose to apply for their protection, It seews stranize ot (irst” sight that so many men should huve tamély submitted to so few and should not have rison upun their solitary goaler, but 1t must be remembered that they were un- armed and - wore dealt with ~ two or three at _a timo fn the first Instance, A rush when all were together would lhavo becn carlainly fatal to more than one of them, und the chanco of sharing in the reward and iu the ‘eredit of o capture was the only Inducement to risking thelr lives, The murderera burt nobody, jnsulted none of the women, atid took nothing from any of the statlon lands, who probabiy had no objection to sponding a compulsory boli- duy smoking in the storeroom.
