On Monday morning la»t, the Cen tral Park Savings' Bank in New York City, was entered in broad daylight, by three men, who gagged and bound the cashier, and lock tihoat $150 from the money drawer.

P. Thk Nkw Partt.— The following is the platform of the New Party, which takes So well in the W est and othci plao:s : 1. Against the contiwuanec of the policy of disfranchisement, and in favor of universal amnesty. Against the system of protective du ties, and in favor of strictly revenue tariff. Against the employment of govern ment patronage, and for thorough civil service refoim. And Against an irredeemable currency and iu favor of a gradual but certain return to specie basis. by Thb Elections in Ohio.— Davis (Republican) is elected Mayor by a de in Sandusky, the cided majority. Democrats have elected their Mayor by 63 majority; but the Republicans have a majority in tbe City Council. Th* Republicans carried Wooster, Ali The ance, Akron, and Majislion. Democrats carried Youngstown, Can ton, and Lima. Bucyrus corporation election two Councilmen on the Tom perance ticket and one on the Reform ticket. In Bucyrns township half the Democratic and half the reform ticket was elected. At Crestline the entire People's ticket was elected, with the exception one Trustee and Assessor.— Salem township elected two Republi and one Democrat Trustees. The reat of the ticket is republican. cans y The Connecticut Election. The latest returns from Connecticut though conflicting, seem to indicate that neither candidate has been elected by the people, and that it will devolve upon the Legislature to make the se lection. In that event, Jewell, the re publican nominee will most probably be the man. English the present democratic incum bent received a majority of twenty votes over his opponent, and that the republican vote was augmented by the almost entire negro vote of ten to fif teen hundred, the result may be re garded, if not a Democratic victory, at least, a sure indication that she will give her electoral vote for the Demo cratic president of 1872. Alarmed by the returning loyalty of New Hampshire as evinced by the Democratic victory English was with the Grantite» a for lorn hope and consequently vast amount of money were used by the Republicans for that purpose. The Legislature is still republican though its majority was diminished by a Democratic gain. The congresstional delegation remains un changed three Republicans to one Dem ocrat. When we consider that of of the by Ruining tlie Country to Pay its Debts Before it 1« Due. The Tribune rejoices at the fact that the Secretary of the Treasury has paid more than eleven million dollars of the of f national debt during the month of Meroh, making two hundred and fif teen millions paid since Mr. Boutwell took office. O," exclaims Mr. Gree ley—''0 that we might keep on paying at this rate till the last dollar was wiped out, as it might be in 1er, than twenty Yes and every man now in year« : business in the Unitod States would be wiped eut with it; tbe poor would be ground down into inextricable poverty and wretchedness; and all tho property in the country would belong to a few stony-souled men, whose wealth would be counted by hundreds of millions. Paying your debts when they are due is well; but robbing the poor in orcter to pay them before they are due is folly. The war against the rebel lion was not waged for th. benefit of the present generation alone, and none but a madman would desire to force upon the present generation the whole payment of cost. However, Mr. Gree ley's notions have prevailed in the le gislation of the last Congress and of that now in session. They have done nothing to take off tho grjat burdens that are destroying the industry and business of the country, and the Re publican party will bavo to bear the consequences. Does Mr. Greeley remember the great political revolution of 1840, by which the Democracy were wiped out ? That revolution grew out of financial distress, out of the stagnation of busi ness, the stoppage of manufactories, the turning out of employment of my riads of laboring men. Such a condi fton of things is now upon us, and its effect will in due time be made mani fest. —JV". V.

It would be impoSi'ib»^ to give any synopsis of her remark« jhat would convey to our readers an idea of th* true character of the lecture. Suffice i* to say, that for an hour and twenty m.'o* ute«, «he held lier audience completely entranced, while she portrayed, in glow ing and pathetic terms, the deeds of true heroism and valor performed by those moving in the humbler walks of life, whose heroic oxplo.ts the historian has not considered worthy of record, nnd who, many of them, have gone down to an obscure grave, "Unwept, unhonored, and unsung." Throughout she was listened to with almost breathless attention by all, caus ing the tear of sympathy to come to tho eye, by lier pathetic nnd touching de scription of some scene of suffering and sorrow; and anon exciting tho risibili ties of her hearers to the inmost by her keen, sparkling Hushes of wit and castle com monts. The pleasing ad dress, perfect intonation, and easy, self posse i manner of the speaker, together with the brilliant and masterly style in which she treats her subject, render her one of tlie most popular lecturers ot tbe age. While many of our citizens availed ing this rare literary treat," there" - - many who did not attend, but who will doubtless regret it upon hen ring the en coniums which aro sure tobe pronounc ed upon the lecture by those present.— Therefore, we would suggest to the Li brary Association the propriety of again securing, at no distant day, another en gagoment from this most plea slug of fe male lecturers, feoling sure that all will avail themselves of the epportunity of hearing "Grace Greenwood" deliver her ever charming, popular and pleasing lee tore,—"The Heroic in Common Life."— Let us have her in Smyrna again, by ail means. is ft is Siinioua Affray.—O n Tuesday niglil, about c-iRlito'clock, Mr. Thomas Kran«, jeweler at this place, whs assaulted and badly injured on his premises.
