4 MR. CREELEY’S MOVEMENTS. He Returns to the Lincoln Club. A Busy Day---Diverse Elements Meetiug in His Presence. GENERAL LONGSTREET’S CARD. Augustus Schell and Senator Doolittle’s Visit— ‘A High Commissioner from the Colored People ofthe South—The Mission of John Harris, of Texas—He Wants Mr. Greeley’s Sen- timents on the Re-Enslavement of the Negroes—Mr. Grooloy’s Promise of Peace to the Black Race. Mr. Greeley having taken three days’ uninter- rupted rest in Brooklyn, flapped his wings io his eagerness for tie tough business of life and politics again, and early yesterday morning wended his way to New York and the Lincoln Club, It was a cheering sigitt to all his old friends to sce him about again aiter the report of his illness, and throughout his ride to tue Zribune office and thence to the Lincoln Club little knots of people congregated about him, and crowds of gaméns shouted in admiration of the great white hat with an enthusiasm that seems to be as perennial as the Philosopher himgolf, Arrived at the Lincoln Club at about ten o'clock, he addressed himsel( at once to letter writing)’ “During his absence many letters and cards have accumulated, GENERAL LONGSTREET had calied on Thursday, and, finding Mr. Greeley absent, left his card and regrets that he could not meet the ‘champion of peace and amnesty,” be- cause of the necessity of returning to his home in the South at once. SENATOR DOOLITTLE AND AUGUSTUS SCHELL called in company and had a half hour’s conversa- tion. with the candidate. Senator Doolittle gave him most encouraging news from North Carolina, AB Doolittle and Schell went out the door of the Lincoln Clubithey met coming up the stone steps A NEGRO MAN, black as ebony, with the shiny face, thick lips, big eyes and = shocky hair of his race. He stood about six feet high, with broad shoulders and stalwart frame. He wore asuit of jean and an old slouched Greeley hat. He looked questioningly at the two distinguished white men as if debating whether one of them might not be Mr. Greeley himself, and bowing, raised his hat. Messrs. Doolittle and Schell bowed politely to the swarthy representative of the lowly race, raising their hats from their heads, and passed on. The colored man mounted at once to the door, rang the bell, and seeing through the opened door the well known head of Mr. Greeley in the rear parlor, felt at once at home, and announced himeelf as “JOHN HARRIS, OF TEXA?, to see Mr. Greéley.”” The boy admitted him and showed him to a seat in the front parlor. Mr. Greeley was then in consultation with Mr. Samuel Sinclair, and a number of other gentiemen were about the rooms waiting an opportunity to present their respects. John Harris therefore sat down contentedly and awaited his tura. “You are from Texas, I believe,” said a HERALD Tepresentative to him, “Yea, sir,” said John, “I am a delegate from Texas,” “A delegate—to what 1" “Well, a delegate SENT ¥ORTH BY THR COLORED PEOPLE of my section to sce and talk with Mr. Greeley about the prospects for the colored people. You see we hear many kind of stories down there. Some of the Grant men say that the Ku Kiux will get after us if we clect Mr. Greeley, and sume say the demo- crats will put us Into slavery again. Then, again, the taxes are high and the Grant men say that the old democrats will have to sell their lands to us cheap, you see. They tell us ali sorts of tales down there—the white people do—and our people don't know who to believe. So they asked me to come right on here and see Mr. Greeley himself, and ask him plump if there was any fear of us going into slavery again, and get A PLUMP YES OR NO out.of him." “We i, I should think you could get it, plump enough.” “When I left home—I live about three hundred miles from Sabine—the colored people all along focked around and asked me to see Mr, Greeley for them too, Down at Sabine the colored people give me the same charge, told me to go forth therein and find out all about it for them, and to tell them when I come back; and in Louisiana, too, they come ground me the same way.” “go you are a sort of High Commissioner and Envoy Extraordinary to Mr. Greeley from the colored people of the South?”? “That's about it, sir,” responded the colored envoy. “How is THE POLITICAL PROSPECT IN TEXAS?" asked the HERALD representative. “Well, there’s no troubie with the white people. They are all for Mr. Greeley. The only trouble is among the colored people; but if I get a good re- vision from Mr. Greeicy now, 1 think that‘ll settle it.” At this moment the Philosopher became disen- gaged, and the beavy, ungainly figure of the colored plenipotentiary WANDERED TIMIDLY INTO 11S PRESENCE. ‘The swarthy delegate’s face was almost blanched with the emotion that beset him as he found him- self in the presence of the great tator who had taken so great a part in achieving his own freedom and the freedom of his race. He stood fumbling lis hat nervously while the Philosopher, as usual, was bending over his high desk. hea he looked up and saw his humble visitor the heart of the sage went out to him and he grasped his hand. “How do you do?” said the Philosopher; “sit down.” John Harris sat down somewhat bewildered, but found courage to say :— “1 am John Harris, sir, of Texas, and I am come forth from the colored people.”’ THE PLAN OF JOHN HARRIS was then unfolded, and the Philosopher paid grave and serious attention to the statement. He said that Mr. Harris and his friends might feel assured from his past record that he had the interest of all his fellow beings at heart and tuat the assured free- dom of the colored race was as dear to him as his own. “Mr. Greeley,” said Mr. Harris, “ean you give me something under your own hand to show my people in the South * sald the Philosopher, and he wrote “Certainly, off the following letter :— New York, July 26, 1872, n—Believing that equal rights for ail men, no matter What color, is the true interest of every claks and Fec- tion and the ‘only basis of true nationality and lasting peace, Tam yours, truly Mr, Joun Hannis, Texas With this document in his hand, John Harris highly elated, bade Mr. Greeley goodby and passed out. As he took farewell of the HpraLD reporter he said, slapping the autographic letter of the Philosopher with his finger “Now I’ve got what I want. I won't have to tell the colored people that some other man heard Mr. Greeley say this, or that here’s @ letter that another man gave me irom Mr. Greeley, but,” said he tri- umphantly, “1 can tell °em that I seen him flinging his pen over this very paper myself”? th this the distinguished Envoy Extraordinary wended his way to the liberal headquarters, where he was furnished with documents and pamphiets to his heart’s content. He will go Southward again next week, with a light heart. THE CARMICHAEL BXPOSURE, Mr. Greeley expressed himself to a friend as de- HORACE GREELEY, lighted with the HERALD’s ex ire of the Carml- chael Roorback, ‘I never considered the matter of enough moment to authorize any denial of it," said he, “but since the HenaLp has done iM Job, and done jt so thoroughly, I feel grateful to it. ere are, of course, many such ine 2 this that may be vexatious to me, and as J have no time to answer them the thorough exposition that the BRALD made my 1s, of course, @ very pleasant AT CHAPPAQUA TO-DAY. At four o'clock, the Philosopher, in company with John -R. Stuart, took his departure from the Lin- coin Olub for the Grand Central depot, where he took the quarter-past four o'clock train for Tarry- town, where he will ee the night, goti “4 Chappaqua to meet his friends early this morning.

YOUNG MEN'S REPUBLIOAN OBNTRAL OOM- MITTEE, Thirty-six young gentlemen all sat in a row last night on tne settees around the room in Broadway, hear twenty-third street, known as Republican Hall. The business before the house was an elec- tion of ofiicers for an éxecutive committee. An original black republican, who, like Colonel Muligan’s adjutant in the battle of Lexington, was as broad he was long, and higher when be fell down than when he stood up, represented the Third dis- trict. The first member to rise toa it of order was the colored member from the Third, who suggested that the President be authorized and instructed to expel everybody not members of the Executive comeaiiee m the room. The motion was voted lown. It was then moved to elect a permanent chair- man, and the name of Colonel Morgan was sug- voce, and when gested.

THE PROSPECT IN JERSEY. Meeting of Liberal Republicans and Democrats in Trenton—Harmony and Good Will. ‘The Liberal Republican Committee met yesterday at the State Street House, and discussed for a long time the plan of the campaign. The Democratic State Committee met at the Trenton House and also discussed the mode in which the contest is to be waged against General Grant. <A deputation from the Liberal Republican Committee waited upon the Democratic Committee, and it was jointly agreed to call the Electoral Conventions on the same day, the lith of September. The conventions will be separate. The Democratic Convention will as- semble in Taylor’s Opera House, and pro- babi; the other will avail themselves of Washington Hall, which is in close promixity with the Opera House. It is rumored that there is to be a ey mass meeting at night, on the llth, after the two conventions have closed their sessions. The indications from the two committees are, that the campaign will be a lively one in New Jersey. TENNESSEE ELECTORAL NOMINATION, NASHVILLE, Tenn., July 26, 1872, Judge J. 0.

What the Negroes Know About Greeley and Grant. Boutwell Removed, with the Treasury, to North Carolina—The Administration Pouring Bayo- net and Ka Klux Laws Into the “Bloody Chasm”—Senator Stockton’s Specific for Closing the ‘Bloody Chasm." LoN@ BRANOH, July 26, 1872, - The views expressed by Senator Frelinghuysen, of New Jersey, who belongs to the Grant-at any- prioe-party, were given in yesterday's HeRaLD. It will be found interesting to know what his brother Senator of the same State, who holds opinions diametrically opposed to him, being one of the leaders of the Anything-to-beat-Grant party, has to say on the orticoming Presidential election. In @ conversation with your correspondent, Senator Stockton expressed himself as follows;— “1 have never felt more certain of any reault in politics than that Greeley will be elected by an overwhelming majority. e very singularity of the situation—the fact that Greeley, a leading pro- tectioniat, has captured the free trade Vonvention at Cincinnati; tiat Mr. Greeley, a life-long oppo- nent ef the Demoocratio party, has captured by an almost unanimous vote on the first t the Demo- cratic Couvention at Baltimore—satisties me that he will capture Grant and all his cohorts. The administration politicians are very much ont of the reckoning in saying that this was a movement of the leaders, that every one in the democratic party ao- quainted with the facts knows that the South stam- eded and the Northern democrats ran over their leaders; that there must be some great principle to create such an extraordinary chi » and the very. fact which the Grant men failed to understand— that they were in the midst of an earthquake—all this 1s the best evidence that they aro yt 4 blind or whistling to keep ug their courage. What is the principle which has ROUSED THE WHOLE AMERICAN PROPLE ? It is the principle condensed by Mr. Sumner in the 6x- pepemion, that this party was the party of reconcilia- ‘ion; it is the principle 60 well stated in the expres. sion, ‘We wil clasp hands over the bloody chasm.” It is more than all, perhaps, that the imbecility of the present administration, so far from giving us that peace which was promised, has permitted sel f- ish politicians, for seffish and party es for four years to kee a the bleeding wounds which would have healed in @ few months by natural causes. Mr, utwell well the ple of North Carolina, Ig administration and from thé President, that they do not want to “clasp hands over the bloody chasm,’ They want to fill it up in with foreigh matter— not to draw the broken limb quietly together with Kind hands on either side, so that it gently meets by the course of nature and becomes stronger and firmer than before, put to pour in for four more years turpentine and benzine, and ail other inflam- Matory substances, in order to have peace and a healthy Union. Mr. Boutwell may pile Pelion on Ussa; General Grant may use all the powers of the Dent star to fill up the chasm—it can never. be led up, It were as wise to attempt to drain that great ocean yonder. But while all the power the [Docent has exercised—heaping into ohasm onet laws and Ku Kiux laws and wild and fabu- lous Ku Klux stories only amounts to a declaration by Congress—aiter four years’ of Grant's adminis- tration, that THE COUNTRY 13/8TILL IN’ A STATE OF CIVIL WAR two gentle hands clasped together over. this bloody chasm can draw it so gently and kindly to- pitas cau knit itso firmly that none will again loubt whether the law of gentleness, of mildness and forgiveness toward a helpless and conquered people is wiser as well as more Christian thau to attempt to enslave them and govern them by the bayonet, This great movement which has resulted in the nomination of Greeley proves to me that the problem, whether a man is capable of self-govern- Ment, as it has been under solution in this country, ‘will be solved in favor of the proposition; for itis the people themselves who are saving themselves from the “dire evils aud innumerable woes,” to prevent which no politicians have been wise enough to devise a remedy. They have already saved themselves by their great uprising from dig- union; they mean now to preserve local self-gov- ernment, and save themselves from the apprehend- ed dangers of military despotism, necessary to cover up years of inconcelvable corruption.” ThE NORTH CAROLINA RLECTION. To my question, what the Senator thought would be the result of the elections in North Carolina, he replied :— “It should judge from my own experience dur. the short time I was in North Garelin, I should ‘unhesitatin, , we shall carry the whole State ticket as well as the Legislature. It is true that a desperate fight is being made by desperate men on the other side. Stories are rife of large sums of money which have been sent to that State to cor- rupt the x colored yote by buying their leaders. u Klux outrages are id to be perpetrated by the administration par- ty on any colored man who dares to speak contrary to the wiil of his political owner; but the universal feeling and interest manifested by all those with whom I came in contact, with the in- formation they conveyed to me, satisfied me that the means usetl, even if true, would prove in- effectual The negroes, as acidss, know nothing of Sumner, nothing of Greeley; to them President Grant is no more than the Mikado of Japan. They only know the one fortunate, favored knave who owns them and makes himself rich by selling their votes. Are they to be kept in this condition EA pth and Ve to carry out thesame schemes which Induced the introduc- tion of this clement into the votin suddenly, without preparation against State laws and constitutions—against the solemn pledges of the republican platform which nominated Grant and to which he was pledged? Or is Mr. Greeley and the conservative element, without danger of its missionaries being martyred, to awaken this poor people to the fact that they are now governors of agreat and free people, and not still slaves— slaves, not only physically as formerly, but slaves in the very exercise of the rights and powers of free- men and governors? They will learn the truth; it is mighty and will prevail, and although money in leree quantities, fom unknown. sources, may tiood the State; al toh; $200,000 are said to have already been used; although it appears that THE TREASMRY DEPARTMENT ITSELY NOW HAS MOVED TO NORTH CAROLINA, yet the power of truth and the love of peace will, in my judgment, conquer at last.”’ In answer to an inquiry as to the general result the Senator said :— “New York will certainly £° in favor of Greeley by a majority of at least fifty thousand. Missouri, the cradle of the liberal movement, can be relied upon as being altogether for Grecley. Pennsylvania is good for Greeley, Forney, himself, has given it up On the State election, and no politican claims it for population the general election. Indiana we shall also carry. The cordial harmony which prevailed in that State at the time of the nom- ination of Hendricks did more for the nomi- nation of Greeley than anything since the cradling of the movement in Missouri. In Vir- ginia we shall have a majority of at least twenty thousand. J judge so irdit {nformgation ea dad ke peirsa on the spot. Kentucky will éerfafnly Vote for Greeley. Maryland is cqually certain for ua, jew Jersey will go in favor of Greeley. The old- fashioned democrats are wheeling into line and Greeley wiil receive nine to ten thousand majority. The ‘movement cannot be arrested, The other Northern States, without stopping to count the Southern States, almost as a- unit will vote for Greeley, and under these circumstances it is dim- cult to conceive where Goneral Grant 1s to look for his election.

Mr. Stickney responded that it was not proposed to go into an examination of all this Susquehanna litigation; such a course would protract this trial too much; it was proposed only to show that Judge Barnard had interfered without right with the case, Tho ohair decided the papers were competent and admissible, Counsel then read the INJUNCTION ORDER OF RECEIVER ROSENDALE, directing the Sheriff of Albany to desist from exe- cuting any writ of assistance for twenty days. Witness continued—He received no other order from Judge Barnard till the 10th of August, when he went to Poughkeepsle with Hamilton Harris and saw Judge Barnard there at Horsey’s, his brother’s; did not remember that Judge Bar- nard was ‘there to attend the funeral of his mother; witness was shown . several writs and orders and identified them as being in in the handwriting ana ed: by Judge Barnard; has doubts of their ed at Poughkeepsie; they were dated on the 9th and 10th; leaving Fonghkeessle U, went to mee phew anetons greats seeing any order requiring ‘the pai nat whom attachments were iasued to show cause for contempt; I think I have a copy of an order direct. ing a suspension of proceedings in the case of vruyn v6. , and directing the Sheriff of Albany county to proceed and execute the writ of ance.

Crose-examined by Mr. Beach—The first action in the Susquehanna tion was in the case of Bush against the company; the election for directors took place early in September; there were cross actions between the directors and stockholders, Witness was asked if he had printed statements of the litigation in this case ? Mr, Stickney objected on the ground that the tes- timony should be confined to the papers presented to Judge Barnard for his action. Mr. Beach maintained that for a perfect under- standing of tie case all relating to it should be in the possession of the Court in order that the charges of CONSPIRACY AND CORRUPTION against the respondent could be met, The Court decided the question to be competent, Mr. Beach then asked that these printed copies be distributed, which was agreed to. ‘The witness was then asked how many suits were there, and replied:—“On the Ramsey side there were thirteen, and on the Church side seven.” Mr. ih proceeded to notice seriatim the vari- ous cases in the ine Gourt oft litigation, with a assist- view to informing the Court of its character. ‘Witness stated that hé had prepared the papers with a view to their being presented to Judge Bar- nard; he no knowledge of any conspiracy be- Pika Logg 8 applying for these orders and Judge rnar To Mr. Stickney—I was on my way to New York when I stopped at Poughkeepsie; Hamilton Harris was also on the train, on his way to ey fale oe Mopeds sags but ae LS ere at he was after gn order iu arnard, ripeNcw A Teikdna Ofenaton.

The expedition, which was in charge of Commander Crossman, consisted of the following named:—Lieutenant Schetkey, United States Navy; Lieutenant W. W. Rhodes, United |; States Navy; Lieutenant Noel, United States Navy; Lieutenant Leutze, United States Navy; Master J, F. Moser, United States Navy; Midshipmen Hughes, Winslow and Keeler; Civil Engineer Menocal and Assistant Civil Engineer Crowell. Early in April Commander Crossman, Lieutenant Forée and four men from the Kansas, while cruss- ing the bar at Greytown, were drowned. This mel- ancholy occurrence was dispiriting to the expedi- tion and considerably dampened the ardor of all the party. Commander Crossman was a gentleman much esteemed for his professional capabilities as ‘well as for his personal qualities, and his death was Much regretted as a loss to his comrades and on account of the valuable services the survey was deprived of by his untimely end. His place was taken by Commander Hatfield, of the Kansas, who continued to lead the expedition during the survey. After the distressful incident the expedition went up the San Juan River, and across the lake to Virgin Bay, at which point the headquarters of the expedition were established. The party was here divided, one half, under Lieutenant Noel, taking the Sapoa route, and tie other,- under command of Lieutenant Rhodes, ENE. the Child route, Each left Virgin Bay about the ist of May, continuing the work until about the 11th of June, when it became necessary to stop owing to the heavy rains which fall on the isthmus during this season, During these six weeks a thorough survey of Child’s route was made and two supplementary lines were run in connection with it. Child's route comin’ nees af the mouth of the Las Lagas River, which ‘rms jnto the lake on its western sifore and continues Acroad the 1svij- mus, following its course to Brito, on the Pacific. The main feature sought for by the expedition was the lowest elevation on either route, and on Child’s route it was found that the highest elevation was about forty-five feet, while-on the Sapoa route the lowest clevation found was about seven hundred feet. The great essential for the proposed canal lay, therefore, in the Child route. The Sapoa route is one continuous range of mountain peaks, without a gap anywhere, The contrast between the two routes Was so apparent and so much in favor of the Child route that the labor of the ex- pedition, after a comparison of the surveys of both, was eusy: a In seeking still farther for the lowest elevation that part of the expedition which had charge of the Sapoa route proceeded up to the northern part of hg Jako, Hie gnant Leutze commanding in place of Lieuteiant Noel, and commenced a survey of the Ochomogo route, folowing the bed of the Ochomo- 0 River. They had scarcely gone six miles when ie heavy rains setin, and {urtuer progress was therefore impossible. ahbge oe > P This part of the expedition then returned to Vir- gn Bay, where they were joined by. those who had eon along the Child route. This was about the 14th of June, and the entire expedition left Virgin Bay on the 22d of June, arriving at Grey- town on the gd of July, On. the 4th tar: embarked for Key West onoard the Kansas, an arrived there on the 14th, bringing with thom sefor Don Bernard, the Minister to the United States from Nicaragua, who was on_ his way to New York.

Piereing the Mystery of the Great Following Footstepe—Walking in the Shadow of Stones Still im tho Possession of the Gentleman Who Was Robbed, The great diamond robbery ts still the theme ef speculation in almost all commercial circles im the city. Itis not so much on account of the value ef the property stolen that mon’s minds are yet agi. tated, but because of the daring and adroitness of the thief. Although the style of robbery ts as old as thieving itself, so few cases of the kind have occurred lately that people begam to think the pocket cutting feature had beem completely dropped from the trade of reb- bery. Ever since the occurrence took place the police have been unremitting in their endeay- ors to ferret out the thief and find the property. So far their labors have been attended with a partial suocess that cannot fail to bring one or both of the objects sought, On Thursday morning Captain. Irving took charge of the case and ggve his per- sonal assistance to Detective Farley in the working up the surroundings, The first. step taken by Cap- tain Irving was to consult, with Superintendent Kelso upon the manner in which the robbery was. committed. Then the question of time was oom- sidered, taken in opposition and confirmation of the story of Mr. Rabe. Naturally the gentleman gave a version of the affair that he supposed to be_ the correct one and just as naturally THR POLICE TAROW THAT TALE ASIDE and look for more probable or more easy solationa of the case, Not finding any, other way in whiok the diamonds could probably have been stolea, the manner of the robbery, as told by the loser, was. received as the correct one. Before determining upon the time, place and manner of the robberg Captain Irving first went ont to discover what were the different operations of the gentleman for a day or two before the thoft, and more particularly on the morning upon which he said it occurred, The initial move in this direction was to find outif Mr. Babe really had the diamonds. That was satisfac- torily proved by Haweson & Co., of Bond street, who nad purchased the stones from Mr. Babe for $8,000; but some difficulty arising as to whether they should be paid for in gold or greenbacks, the sale was not accomplished. They were shown the same day to Heitner & Co., in Broadway, or at least a portion of them; but as. Mr. Babe wanted $90in gelé for some of the smaller diamonds, Mr. Heitner Gat not buy any. Mr. Lynch, another diamond mer- chant on Broadway, was shown the stones, and he olfered $8,250 for them, but Mr. Babe, not think- ing the amount suilicient, refused to part with hia roperty. This evidence satisfied the police that ir. Babe had the diamonds for some time before the day of the robbery, and the question next to be solved was, what was he doing on the morning the theft took place ? After following the track of Mr. Babe’s footsteps for some hours Captain Irvil returned to the central office and consulted wi Superintendent Kelso avout his future movements. What the decision arrived at di the interview was has not leaked out, but Irving almost immediately aiterwards went from the building, accompanied by Detective Farley. Several hours ‘were fgain consumed in hunting up Mr. Babe's trall, but it was finally discovered to the satisfac- tion of the detectives. coe cvctle was them posted opposite the house, 28 ‘Waverley place, to look out for developments, and Captain Irvi went to the store of Johnson & Co., at Broadway, bytes had heard Babe was on the morning of the ‘The proprietor of the lace told Captain Irving Mr. Babe called thereom fronday morning last with two ladies ana FT THE FIVE PACKAGES OF DIAMONDS and not finding anything, he wanted, Mr. Johnsem took the goods to any's to see if they wished te urchase any of them.

He likewise informed the detective captain Mr. was & wealthy man, the owner of a diamond claim im South Africa, and the fortunate possessor of two diamonds ewcaee each fort; carats and one stone that we! eight carat These wonderful gems are still uncut, Mr. Johnson said, and his friend, Mr. Babe, intended to have thera finished when he sold the package of small stones he brought with him. His object in waiting, Mr. Johnson explained, was TO USE THE MONEY he should receive for the small stones in getting the large ones cut and polished. Having trac the footsteps of Mr. Babe to his ‘tting inte the stage on the morning of the robbery, Captain = Irvi sought his associate, the mysterious and burrowing Farley, to learn what he had discovered of the ways of 28 Waverley place. The detective had been for some time in the vicin- ity of the boarding house before anything unusual occurred to attract his attention; but long before his patience was taxed he noticed @ handsome at elegantly dressed eer approaching from the di tion of the park and going towards 28 Waverley place. fs the cunning detective does not Say so, admiration of the beautiful personage before him was, undoubtedly, the first impression he experienced, but the natural feeling of his pro- fession soon swept all other shadows from his mind, and he was all the detective again. The lady halted: in front of 28 Waverley lace, look coquettishly round once or twice as she mounted the stens and then went into the house, Shortly after this Mr. Babe appeared coming from the same direction, and walked straight into the board- ing house. The detective waited a little longer, and was rewarded by the appear- ance of another lady, this time lea the interesting establishment. He succeci in getting into conversation with her after explain- ing his profession, and she told him 1 in. the house with whom Mr, Bi id gone into the jewelry store the paid of the robbery were not the daughters of the landlady, but boarders in the house. ie was a Mrs. Palmer, who had been im the nOtss 4 foi HRS and Hg gitar was a Mra. es. All this {nfofmation Wad mmupicated, tain Irving, with the addition: that Mr. Babe was robbed on the Friday paves to the diamond theft at Thomas’ Garden, but only $15 were found in his pocket, and the captain is now using it to hunt up the property and the thief. The services of Detective McCord have beem called into the case in consequence of some facta he discovered. He is now working with Detective Farley, and the public may expect ina day or two some startiing revelations about this outrageous and wonderful robbery.
