Lowvow, Jan. 26, 1876, The “imes’ Paris telegram says it seems quite certain that the Sonate in no case will contain a purely minis- terial majority, as M. Buffet understands the term. The Cabinet could only find a majority by the support of the four anti-republican groups, including the irre- concilabie Bonapartists and the ultra logiti- mists or by the union of the moderate Ceft with the ministerialists. M. Buffet must tenounce the least co-operation from the moderate Loft. The Leon Say and Feray incident has placed an impassable barrier between the Left Centre and bim. M. Buffet, then, can only govern with the four groups of the Right. He resolutely pushes the moderate Left toward the radical Left, and himself be- comes the prisoner of the Bonapartists ofall shades, being forced at the same time to reckon on the support of the legitimists. DANGEROUS COMPLICATIONS AHEAD. Such a combination would be the signal for the most disastrous complications. If France is really to be saved another policy must prevail—a policy liberal, moderate and firm against all violence and agitation. This policy is only possible with the Left Centre, CAN THE PRESIDENT GAVE THE NATION?

BREAKING OPEN THE NORTHAMPTON NATIONAL BANK-—THE GAGGING OF THE CASHIER AND HIS FAMILY—GREAT EXCITEMENT IN THE QUIET TOWN. Srxincyixip, Mass. ,.Jan, 26, 1876, One of thamost daring and best planned bank rob- beries on record occurred at the proverbially quiet up. river town of Northampton last night, though the parties chiefly interested, the stockholders of the bank and the owners of the funds iu it, are still fn a tantalizing doubt as to whether or not it was successful, the door of the vault being left in such a condition that the bank officers have been unable to open it, and are forced to wait the arrival of a safe builder, who was telegraphed for from New York, and who is expected to arrive this evening. The particulars of the affair, as gathered from the bank officors and others, are as follows:—It seems that about midnight last nighta band of seven men, dis- guised, appeared at the house of John Whittlesey, cashier of the Northampton National Bank, on Elm street, and speedily took possession of it Mr. Whittlesey was awakened by the grasp of a man’s hand upon his throat, and his wife, lying by his side, was aroused by the hands of another man at her throat, Man and wife were both quickly handcuffed, but were assured that if they did as they were told no harm would come to them. Mr. Whittlesey was taken to alower room, one of the gang held a pistol to his head, and anotner standing by with a paper and pencii, they demanded his keys to the bank and bank vault, and proceeded to question him as to the combinations of the locks of the vault doors; and here their coolness and skill were displayed in an extraordinary manner. Mr. Whittlesey was wid to answer correctly and as rapidly as possible the num- bers of the combination on the outer vault door, the inner vault door and of the locks on the inner safes in the vault, He answered as directed, but gave false combinations in each case. But no sooner had he gone through the list than the man who had taken down the numbers given ordered him to re- peat them. This, of course, he was unable to do; and it thus being evident that he had lied he was then obliged to give the (rue combinations, being prompted to haste and accuracy by a savage dig in his ribs and an evident disposition on the tof the burglar who held the pistol to summarily shorten his earthly career, his personal injaries being really painful, although not dangerous. But although forced Ww give the true combination of the lock Mr, Whittlesey assured the burglars that {it would be of little ase to them, as he bad but one of four keys necessary to move the combination of the outer vault door, After getting all the information they could from Mr. Whittlesey they gagged him, as they had previously gagged and bound the other members of the lrousehold-—his wife, a servant girl and a@ visitor, Miss Mattic 0. White, of Williamsport, Pa., and also, in the other part of the house, T. B. Cutler, a printer, his wife and Maria Benton, an invalid boarder, making seven persons in all, the eame number as in the burglars’ gang. THE ROBBERY, Waiting till four o’clock, the time at which the two or three watchmen Borebempics esses, including one whose speciat duty is to look r the safety of the banks, were accustomed to go home, five of the bur- glars proceeded to tbe bank, which they found no dif. ficulty in entering, but whether they were successtul in getting bis contents of the vault or not can only be known r the arrival of the expert from New York. The bank officers this morning found the dials of the lock of the outer door of the vault broken, so that they have been unable to get into the vaalt aud have been in suspense all day tn regard to its contenta, Some have been inclined to the opinion that the bur- glars gained access to the treasure, and if they did thoy got a magnificent haul, and that they then closed the vault door and broke the dials to prevent the bank officials from knowing the detaile of the loss and thas securing one. day in which to dispose of their plunder without danger of detection. The majority, however, are of the opinion that the dials of the lock were broken in the attempt to get the door open, and that the burglars were obliged to leave before they had accomplished their object, and this theory is most likely to be the correct one When the two burglars who were left Es pee at Mr, Whittiesey’s house went away, about five o'clock, they lett all the inmates gugged and bound But Mr. Whittlesey and Miss White soon succoeded in gotting rid of their gags, and by their calls attracted passers by, who came in and released them, While waiting at the house the robbers were caretui to appropriate Mr, and also what Whit %§ gold watch, worth $250, Moser er could find, amountin, ‘however, to no very large sum. There is plenty of evidence that the job was put up by a gang of professionals, but very + ttle idea as to who they were. Six strangers got upon. the frst train for this city this morning at Northamp- ton. Fiveof them had tickets and the sixth paid his fare and inquired what time the train lett this city for Now York. These were undoubtedly the burg! who by this time are, doubtless, in safe hiding in New York. © ‘There is also good evidence that they have been in the town for some time planning this and perhaps other like burglaries. 4 SCHOOLHOUSE ATTIO USED. A pupil in the Bridge street schoolhouse being sent to the attic on some errand on Tuesday, discovered there several carpet bags, articles of clothing and even some mali sums of money and articles of food, show- ing tnat the attic was inhabited. The teacher on bei! informed sent for Deputy Sheriff Wright, who remov. the articles, among which was a coil of rope, thirty feet Jong, and a paper bag, marked “Bridgeport.” But it does not appear that any attempt was made to capture the owners of the Loop ont 4 Indeed, the finding of the articles made very little impression upon anybody, until after the news of the oak cps. the bank be- came known, when it was not difficult to see that the schoothouse attic had beon probably (or several days the rendezvous of desperate burg: and not of com- mon tramps, as was at first supj Furthermore, one of the bur; teft on guard ut the cashior’s house wore for # mask half of a leg of a pair of men’s drawers, with boles cut in it for tho eyes, and left this megan burgiars. They seem to have been ‘willing, to make themselves com! their possessions keep them warm, and their cake, cold chicken and woll as bread and buteer. It is supposed they got into the schoolhouse through the windows, which could be easily opened, and they gained access to the attic throngh ‘school- room ventilator, A satchel, with bui are? tools in it, was found this afternoon under the old depot of the | New Haven and Northampton Railroad, and undoubt- edly belongs to the The beauty of having a bank | vault locked, with the ‘8 of several parts distributed about the town, in keeping of different officials of the bank, is illustrated by the attempt of those burglars. ‘The officials having the other parte of the key, all of whioh were necessary to give entrance, live, some of | them, a mile from the. cashier's house, and to hand. | and gag all of the four families would have let out the game.

Senator Sherman’s Support of Governor Hayes for the Presideney. SUICIDAL POLICY OF A THIRD TERM, The Bloody Shirt Ordered to the Right of the Line. TROUBLE AMONG THE SOUTHERN COHORTS. FROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT. —————— Wasuinoton, Jan. 26, 1876. SENATOR SHERMAN'’S LETTER FAVORING THE NOMINATION OF GOVERNOR HAYES AND WHAT IT INDICATES—UNPLEASANT COMPLICATIONS LIKELY TO ARISE AT CINCINNATL Senator Sherman’s lotter advising the nomination of Governor Hayes became public here to-day, It is un- derstood to be chiefly important as a very positive declaration by an influential Senator against the re- nomination of General Grant. The frank declaration by the Ohio Senator—one of the oldest and fore- most members of tho Senate—that the Presi- dent’s renomination would be ‘an act of suicide’? will, it 1s thought by many persons, encourage other men of influence in the party to foliow him with similar expressions, The third term project has failed greatly here since the meeting of the Republican Na- tional Committee, and it may almost be said that among the leading repubiicans it has fallen into con- tempt, At any rate they no longer fear it, and they mean to kill it ifit shows its head. It is because of this they begin to say that the rotten borough South. ern delegates will not be allowed to rule in the Con- vention, that they must stand aside and let the dele- gates from States which are to carry the election make the nominations. This sentiment 1s rapidly growing and will make itself strongly felt in the Convention, The mannor in which so grave and usually reticent aman as Senator Sherman speaks of the democratic party in his letter, shows that those who think with him are preparing to raise the ‘bloody shirt,” and carry the cainpaign on the policy of suspicion, alarm and hatred, There are, however, influential republi- cans here who do not favor this course, and some of these, when the Sherman letter came up for discussion, remarked that tt was not impossible for the “bloody shirt’? people to alienate a considerable part of the re- publican party who desire peace and honest govern- ment, and without whose hearty co-operation the re pablican ticket is not sure of success, To men who think thus the effort beginning to be made in the South for the reformation of tho republi- can party has a good deal of interest. They are watch- ing it and will encourage it, and if the movement should gather force it may come up in a troublesome THE WHISKEY FRAUDS. A BATCH OF INDICTMENTS BROUGHT INTO COURT IN CHICAGO—STILL OTHERS TO BE PREPARED. Cmcaco, Jan. 26, 1876 The tong expected indictments against Hesing and Rehm wore presented this morning in court, as were also indictments against ex Depaty Collector Hoyt, Minty and several others of tess note The tadict- ments against ox-County Treasurer Miller will be per fected and presented im a day or iwo. There are no less than three indictments against Hesing and two against Rehm, but the authorities refuse for the pres- ent to impart their contents It may be stated gener- ally, however, that one of the indictments against Hesing 1s for his partuership in the Lake Shore Distil- lery, while the other two are mainly based upon his alleged corrppt assignments of conniving gaugers, for bribes paid by distillers for his alleged conspiracy with Hoyt, Rebm and Miller and similar offences, The \ indictments t Rehm are based on frauds perpetrated by b as owner of tha mait house, and also on his al general conspiracy with the “ring. No bench war- Tants were issued against Hosing and Rehm, as they are psi under heavy bail and an arrangement was made for them to appear to-morrow morning and enter into anew bond, Judge Blodgett fixed the bau at $70,009 for each. Minty is sull at large, but Hoyt was arrested and hela in $60,000 bail, He is said to be thoroughly ruined and expressed bimself in denunciatory terms against this high amount of bail. He has been unable to find bondsmen today, but United States Commissioner Hayne will be ly to take his bail uniil a late hour to-night. If he does not succeed in finding bondsmen he will have to spend the night in jail. ‘The Grand Jury examined to-day again Golser and Mason, whose testimony was only an amplificauion of that already telegraphed wo the Hxeraip. The only new witnesses heard were Guy Magee and Stanley Huntley. They both refused to divulge the sources from which the recent onslaught upon Bristow was ob- } tained. Mr. Wirt Dexter, the counsel for the govern- ment, who conducted the exammation, threatened to have thom committed for contempt, They also denied emphatically the statement that the Whiskey Ring had paid them money for this attack on Bristow. Mr. Huntley says he will also be indicted, THE EVIDENCE OF THE PROSECUTION IN THE CASE OF M’KEE CLOSED—POSTPONEMENT OF BABCOCK’S TRIAL, Sr. Louis, Mo., Jan, 26, 1876. The prosecution closed its evidence in the McKee case to-day, and the defence will begin the introduction of testimony to-morrow, Nothing new or startling was clicited to-day. Five or six witnesses were ex- amined, their evidence relating more particularly to the scope and operations of the “ring” than to Mo- Keo’s complicity in it, ‘The general opinion ia, that the prosecution has made Out a good cage against McKee, although not go strong a was made out against McDonald and Joyce. The re- sult will depend very much upon the nature of the do- fendant’s evidence, ‘So far as known McKee’s lawyers will depend almost entirely in their ability to impeach the government witnesses on the ground of bad character.

The two adminis tration papers here have divided on the question, for the special organ, the Republican, abuses Governor Chamberlain this morning, while the Chronicle reprints his letter from the Heraup and speaks kindly of him and his effort, It is suggested that if the re- form movement should become general in the Southern States two sets of delegates may appear from those States in the Cincinnati Conventiong in which case the interests of different candidates may ‘be 60 vitally affected by tho admission of one or the Other of the contestants that the question as to which set shall be seated may cause a serious struggle. It is already known that the anti-Ames republicans in Mis- sissippi do not mean to submit to the au- thority of the Ames executive committee, and it is possible that they may organize, from a coalition with Senator Alcorn, and choose a new State Com- mittee, which would, of course, cause the election of an anti-Ames delegation.

HOLLIS HALL DAMAGED BY FIRE—A 6CENB OF EXCITEMENT “AND CONFUSION—LUDICROUS CONDUCT OF STUDENTS. Camnninge, Mass., Jan. 26, 1876. The first fire of any account at Harvard College since the burning of Harvard Hall, in 1764, occurred to-day, being first discovered in the rear and attic of Hollis Hall, Tbe flames were difficult to reach and made good headway from the start, particularly in the rooms of the Pi Eta Society, where nearly everything was do- stroyed. The rooms had been refurnished, frescoed, painted, &c., in 1873, and were tho prido of the society. All the students rooming in the building removed their furniture, some of them in the excitement doing it more damage than it could have received by being left there. fhe boys were dreadfully in earnest at first, and there was considerable confusion; bat after all the furniture had been carried out TUX HUMOROUS SIDE began to r. During the first excitement one man very carefully let down the marble top of his commoue with a rope, while another tossed out several eartuen- ware articles from the third story and then threw a bu- reau upon the fragments, Afterward their late occu- pants returned to the rooms which were not in serious danger, and carried away such perishable articles as at first were not thought worth saving. One ot the young men was observed carrying a barber’s pole very caro- fully across the yard, while another bore a coulection- er’s sign under bis arm, The occupants of the ball may be said to have saved all their household gooda, ut they will hardly be in as good condition to-morrow as they wore this morniug. escaped their murderous intentions. The question of accepting the appropriation with its attached cond- tions is now under discussion by the Board of Stock- holders at Philadelphia, and an effort will be made to have the Senate strike out Springer’s amendment if do- mg 80 shall not endanger the bill on its resarn to the House for concurrence. The Western democrats aro only too anxious to get it into their hands again, and probably they wili have a chance anyway. It tran- spired to-day that the bill, as passed, has a clerical error in the reference it makes to the date of the law of March 3, 1871, creating the Centennial Board of' Fi- nance, which, as printed, reads March 3 1876. An effort was made this morning by Mr. Hopkina to get the unanimous consent of the House to correct this mistake, but objection was raised and the suggestion made that the oversight could be amended in the Sen- ate This will bring tne bill back to the House and submit it to the tender mercies of the Western men once more, when it remains to be seen whether it will not then get its happy despatch. i THE POSTAGE ON THIRD CLASS MAIL MATTER, The “rider” on the Appropriation bill, which was smuggled through the last Congress, and by which the postage rate on mewspapers and like third class mail matter was raised to one cent per ounce, was repealed by the House after a brief debate in Committee of the Whole The republicans bad already endured se much odium on account of this measure that the repealing bill was carried by a wiva voce vote, without a division. ‘THE WEST POINT APPROPRIATION BILI. ‘The House then went Into Committee of the Whole ON GOVERNMENT NDS.

THE DAMAGE TO HOLLIS HALL itself fs mainly confined to the roof One end of this is entirely burned off, while the centre and the other end are badly damaged. The immense quantitv of water required to quench the fire soaked down through ali the lower stories of the hall and it is probable that the damage from this cause will be, on the whole, quite fag groat as that by fire. Tho building was not theured and it is very difficult to tell what the amount of the loss will be. It will probably require from $15,000 to aot. to put the building wp as good a condition as bo- fore the fire.

THE BOSTON FORGERIES MORE PARTICULARS OF THE WINSLOW FRAUDS— AN OVER-ISSUB OF BOSTON POST STOCK—WINS- LOW NOT GONE TO BRAZIL Bostow, Mass., Jan. 26, 1875 The alleged over-issuo of stock of the Boston Post Company has seriously complicated matters, and the holders of it as collateral cannot tell whothor their cor- tiflcates are bogus or genuine. The company was or- ganized May 26, 1875, by E. D. Winslow, Raward ¥. Porter and W. ©. Greene, ulder the title of the Boston Post Company. The capital stock was $200,000, 3,000 sharos of $100 cach, &. F. Porter, as President; KE. D, Winslow, as Treasurer, and W. ©. Greens, being all of and a majority of the directors of the company, signed the legal documents, and subsequently certifiod that the whole amount of the capital stock had been paid fo in cash. Mr, Porter withdrew from the presidency, apd Mr. Saltonstall waa chosen, but shortly atter sen. in his resignagion, never having signod a certificate of stock. Mr. n, who has been the confidential secret. tary of Mr. Winsiow in the office of the Post, was sub- sequently chosen President, and is so recorded to-day, Tho parties holding the certificates of stock propose to Mr. Mann oan give no infor. mation regarding the alleged over-iseue of stock, and the genuine stockholders are but few tn number. Mr. Winsiow coutroiled and mauipalated the stockshook to suit himeelf, and as be did not hesitate to forge the uames of partios to notes it i# probable that he mann- factured certificates vo suit his wants There are miss- ing certificates and stocks from the back part of the certificate book, and, it is said, 175 shares of bogus. stock are known to }.¢ in existence Mr. roe has found somo fraudulent certifi which he will tarn over to the trusted® to be appoin' to take charge of the Boston Port, A gentieman formerly connected with the esiablishment has been in- vited the business ment of the paper.
