He then commenced to vent his in @ignation on those who retused to join him, send- Ing them threatening letters breathing fire and “vengeance. ‘Two of these letters fell into the hands of the police, and Sullivan was arrested on Saturday and held without vail for trial.

[BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD.1 Cixcixxatt, Nov. 11, 1877. Some additional facts have been brought to light in regard to tho robbery of tho county treasury of Cler- mont county, which was discovered yosterday, The ‘Troasurer, Alfred N. Kobinson, is an old citizen of wealth aud irreproachable character, and no sus- picion rests upon bim whatevor, He has been trear- uror for over six years, and during all this time has but rarely had a clerk or avy assistance in his office, Tho safe in his office has a strong box inside, aod on this wero two combination locks of which he supposed himself to be the ouly person conversant, The combination to these locks was given to nim six years ago when the safe was purchased, and he had never changed it, He kept the com- bination on a card, but something like a year ugo missed it one duy, though he was afterward assured by bis younger brother, who was doing somo clerical work in his office, thut be bad thrown it in the tire with a lot of worthless papers. Somo four weeks ago Robinson put $24,000 19 thia sud-treasury and locked it up. Ono day last week he unlocked it and took outa five hundred dollar package, leaving the remainder, as ho believes, where he had put it, THE LORDERY DISCOVERED, Yesterday, having occasion to pay eome orders, he again opened it and found he hud been robbed of every dollar, The outer doors of the safe had been locked evory night and opened every moruing by bimsel!, und there was nothing to arouse his suspicions ot its hav. ing been visited by any one else. The only chance the robber could have had to enter was between seven o’clock ip the morning when the night watchman loft and eight o’clock, when the treasurer arrived, To dothis successfully the thief must have had access to Robin- son’s room at his house, and besides have been familiar with bis habits. Putting theso tacts together sus- picion, of course, points to his brother, though no ono bas as yet sworn out warrant for his arrest, and in fact no one has charged bim with the crime, MERTING OF COMMISSIONERS, The Commlesioners of the county were called to- gethor at Batavia to-day, but declined to offer any re- ward, and tho detectives who had hurried there on the frat publication of the report returned home to- night They say that they have not finished up their work, but will walt for further developments before giving their suspicions to the public, ROBBERIES BY TRAMPS, OPERATIONS OF THK NOMADS ALONG THE LINE OF THE PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD—FIGHT BE- TWEEN THE EMPLOYEs AND THE OUTLAWS— RECOVERY OF THE PLUNDER, Dowsinctows, Pa,, Nov, 11, 1877. Yho bands of tramps that havo recently been rob- Ding the fre.ght trains on the Pennsytvania Ratiroad last night broke into a number of loaded treight cars which wore standing on a siding at West Chester Junc- tion and carried off a large quantity of valuable goods, Several of the employés of the raliroad company dis, covered the robbery soon alter its commission and followed tuo robbers, but tho latter fred upon their pursvers and drove them back tothe junction, at midnight the raliroaders wore reintoreed ty tho arri- val of a number ef trainmea from Lancaster, they usually “laying over” at this point until Monday morning. RAID ON THE TRAMPS. ‘The railroaders deteriniued to make a raid upon the depredating tramps, whose lair for several weeks hus been in a woods about threo miles west from here.

Four of the tramps were also wounded, and those with their comradec, some twenty-iwo others, were captured and taken to tho junction and locked up in an empty freight car to await the disposition of the Pennsyl- vavia Railroad Company. It ta provable they will be sont to the Chester or Lancaster County Jail to-morrow morning. RECOVERY OF THE PLUNDER, The plunder tound tn their possession has been re- placed in the cars from which itwas stolen, Two trains were boarded and stopped near Lewistown this morning, and it was only afer a desperate rr Uupen the part of the conductors and their as that the would-be train robbers wore driven off. Js estimated that between 1,000, and 1,500 tramps are wandering through tho country traversed by the Penn- sylvania Rajiroad, and particularly between here and Pittsburg. These nomads appear to plan their attacks upon the trains at such points whero there is little oF no protection from regularly constituted constables and police, and It requires the utmost vigilance apon the part of the railroad men to prevent the stoppage of tho trains and frustrate the robbers, A large num- ber of tho train plunderers have been arrested and sevorely punished by the courts of Chester, Dela- ware, Lancaster and Columbia counties, but this does Bot seem to abate the outlawry in the least, but, on the contrary, the outrages aro now more numerous and flagrant than over.

Again Mr. Philips says:— It ja admitted that a few days alter its (the St. Do- mingo treaty) defeat Motley was asked to resign, and ut the opening of the very bext session Sumuer was refusad thut chairmanguip which bo bad filied for ten years, Tho treaty wes defeated in June, 1870. The next session of the Senate opened in Yecember, 1870, when Mr. Sumner was again appointed chairman of the Committee on Foreign Relations, This disposes at ouce of anothor of Mr. Paillips’ mistatements, and also of the idea that Mr. Sumner’s failuro to bo reap- pointed was in consequence of his opposition to the St, Domingo Treaty. Had that opposition becn the cause it would bave been in December, 1570, when the committees were reorgunized for the first time after the deleat of the treaty, Mr, Sumner’s fatlure to be reappointed did not take place until the succeeding session of the Senate, which began in March, 1871, Evidently, accuracy of statemont and a regard for truta must be classed among Mr, Phillips’ “lost arts,” Very respectfully, HAMILTON FISH, A ROYAL ROMANCE.
