So equal were the compliments thus paid that an individual in the assom- Diage called for a ‘ division.’? Loud calls were then made for John A. Bingham, who aid not appear. Col, Stencil, of Texas, was introduced by way of a substitute,.and was recommended to the favor of the multitude a® a ‘‘loyal fighting man from Texas.’’ Colonel Stencil was, therefore, received with cheers, and silence being restored he delivered a short speech, taking for his subject “ Andrew Johnson.’’ One or two aligl:t disturbances rose from certain anti-Fornéy- ites thinking aloud, one of whom announced his opinion that “President Johnson was a white man, anyhow;”’ but circomatancee not proving favorable nothing serioos resulted.

The details of a burglary bank robbery and dendly as- sault on the cashier of one of the Eastern banks abd his inoffensive wife and child, were developed yesterday, by which it appears that late on the night of the 22d of Jane last the residence of Mr. R. Butterfield, cashier of the National Bank at Bowdoinham, Maine, was foreibly entered byfour men. After gaining admission to the dwelling of Mr. Butterfield, which is about ‘thirty-five miles from Portland, the burglars went to his room, !o- cated on the second floor, and struck him om the head with a slung shot or other similar weapon, stunning and partially reducing him to insensibility. The murderous outlaws then proceeded to gng Mr. Buttor- field, his wife and little son, who bad been asleep in the fame room, At the time Mrs, Brtterteld bad an infant child in her arms, which the borglars threatened to kill if she attempted to scream or ctve an alarm. Without the commission of further violence, two of the thieves then took the keys of the bank vaults from Mr. Kutter. fleld’s pocket and proceeded to the bank, white the other thieves remained on watch in the heuse. The hank vaults being secnred with a combination loek,: the two borg'ars were ble to reach the treasure on deposit there, wherenpon they returned to the house and re- ported to their confoderates, This disappointment ex- cited the anger of the ruffiane, ant they there resolved not to be thwarted in ther purpose, Accordingly, they took tho cashier from be! in bis night clothes, and aftertaking him to the bank Im this condition, drow their kuives and pistols, and threatened to marler bim ‘on the spot if he did not open the vaults for them. Be- ing thus intimidated, and seeing no other alternative to escape from tbe robbers, Mr, Butterfield opened the vaults, from which the thieves took bonds, Treasnry notes, bank bills, &¢., to the amount of $75.000. They then carried the cashier back to the house and tied bim, his wife and son in bed with ropes, and left them in that condition, Mr. Ratterfleld struggled violently to freo himself, and in about an hour snceceded in dong #0, but not till nearly exhausted from loss of blood and. almost suffocated from the effects of the gag. Mra, Butterfield was then in delicate health, and the great shock to ber nervons svstem was such as to prostre’e her on a bed of sickness from which she has pever recovered, and she now remains in an extremely eritical condition, After the facts of the robbery and outrage had become known in the village of Bowdoinham, it was ascertained that four men had hired a team at Portiand the night previous, and returned to the stab'e early on the morn- ing following the robbery, From this fact it wax sup- posed the robbers had ¢ the first train for Boston. After that, Mo nt, bank detretive, of Boston, learning of the roblv went to Bowdoinham and had an interview with Mr. Butterfleld, from whom he ob- tained a minute description of the four men. 1y NEW York Mr. Sargent, being convineed that the robbers had gone to New York, hastened on and laid the whole facta in the eae before General Super ntendent Ken- nedy, who, in turn, placed the matter in the hands of Captain Jourdan, of the ixth precinct, and Detective Elder, to work vp. From the description of the robbers which these officers received they me convinced that the erime was committed by cermin professional men, and accord ngly ‘piped’ several places where such a class of op-ratives usually resort, ON THE SCENT. At length, becoming satisfied that they had found the guilty parties, Captain Joardan and detective Eider sent on to Bowdoinham to procure several persdnus who it ‘was thought could identify the sun] persons, or the ones they saw in that village the day previous to the robbery. The witnesses came on, and among them was the man who hired the team to the thieves, These wit- nesses accompanied the officers near the haunts of the suppoeed bank robbers, and lay in wait ti!l they could get a good look at them, Three of the men were post- lively identified as thor they had seen in Bowdoinham the day before the robbery committed, after which they retarned home and made affidavits as to ghe iden- tity of the men. These complaints were dulv submitted to the Grand Jury of the county in which the robbery occurred, and indictments found against the parties, ARKOET AND SURKEXDEY. Governor Cony, of Maine, recently isened a requisition on Governor Fenton, of this State, for the retarn of the indicted parties, upon which immediate steps were taken to secure them. Accordingly, at an ng 4 hour on Friday morning Captain Jourdan, detective Elder, and bank detective Sargent, of Boston, accompani: officers Dunn, Dolan and Haggerty, of the Sixth pre. cinet, started in pursuit of the parties, and observed two of them, named David Bartlett and Edward Wateon, alias Eddy MeGuire, alias “Fairy” MeGuire, in Eighth avenue, and followed them downto Abingdon square. There the two men were arrested and mole a desperate resistance, McGuire drawing a pear! handied double edged dirk with whieh he attemptod to stab Of- ficer Dotan. Ho was speedily disarmed, and with bi confederate thrast into a coa B which way driven to the Worth street police station with all possible speed, where they were locked up. At nine o'clock the following evening the same officers came across another of the ng for whom they were In search, on the corner of Vest Houston and Varick streets and arrested him. The risoner who known as Oren Simms alias ‘*Rarey’ igoms, made a stubborn resistance, was warted off by the officers, when a desperate crowd of corner rfans made an assault on the officers, ant attempted to resene the prisoner, but before being able to accomplish much, Simms was ushered intoa Sixth avenue car, The assail- ants made a furious arrault op the car drawing their pis- tols and knives, whereupon the officers alvo drew their Weapons, and threatened to shoot the first ian who at- tempted to take Simms from them. At that moment two stalwart members of the Twenty-e'gith precinct police came up and set upon the villains with their clubs, Iay- ing out a number of them. The crowd then fied, and the risoner was goon lodged in the Sixth precinct station es in a badly damaged condition from the blows re- ceived at the hands of the officers during the fight, im- media'ely after the arrest, The three men being feoured, Jostice Dowling made out a temporary commiiment for them, and yesterday they wese delivered over to the Boston offeer, who, sccompanied by Captain Jourdan and dotective Eider, sarted for Maine with them in one of the evening trains. about fifty years of age. jo has served terms in prison as foliows:—Six years in Charlestown (Masa) ctate Prison; #ix years in Clinton (New York) Stato Prison; Five years in Sing ring (New York) State Prison; four and one hal” years at »ing Sing do.
