AN ALBANY OFFICER ARRESTS 100000

AN ALBANY OFFICER ARRESTS "A $4,000 Con-
FIDENcE MAN IN CHIcAao.-Oficer Clinton, of
Albany, N. Y, succeeded in making an impor-
tant arrest in this city recently. Itappears that
some time ago, the New York firm Of Fawcett,
lsham & Co., extensive dealers in hides and
leather, sent up the river to the tanneries in
Greene county N. Y, some $4,000 worth of
hides to be tanned. After they were tanned, a
man 1--WE have not his nancy secured them, and,
instead of returning them to the firm, brought
them out West and offered them for SALE At
one place where he offered some, he stated that
he belonged to an Albany firm, naming it. The
person to whom he offered them doubted his sto-
ry, and telegraphed to the House of Humphrey,
in Albany, inquiring whether it would be safe to
purchase, and whether there was such firm in
that city as that to which the man represented
he belonged. The rep}fswas that there was no
such firm there. Mr.. bert Thompson of Al
bany, who was early apprised of the loss of the
hides, telegraphed to the New York firm the sub
stance of this incident, and Mr.. Fawcett went up
to Albany Immediately, and, securing the servi-
ces of officer Clinton, (who has, on various &C.
casions, proved himselfa capital detective, start
ed in pursuit of their man. Clinton traced him
from Albany to Oswego, Rochester, Buffalo, To-
ronto, Detroit, Chicago, Toledo, Cleveland, Gin
cinnati, and again to Chicago, where he effected
his arrest. The officer was SO fortunate, also, as
to recover about $4,000 worth Of the goods.
This is certainly one of the most important ar
rests made in long while.-Chicago Jour.

The Case of senator HARLAN Of Iowa,

The Case of senator Harlan OF Iowa.
The following action upon Mr.. Harlan's case
was had in the Senate on Monday:
On motion Of Mr.. Jones, the credentials Of
Mr.. James Harlan, Senator from Iowa, with the
protest of the Senate of that State rehltive
thereto were taken up for consideration.
Mr.. Harlan proceeded to speak on the sub.
ect, stating the facts with reference to his cleo
ton, and citing the provisions in the Constitu-
ton of the United States and the laws of Iowa
bearing on the case. He said he should not OBJ
ject to the subject being referred to the Judicial
ry Committee, as was moved, although the
Committee was composed Of those who were DO
litically opposed to him.
Mr.. Bayard remarked, as it had been intima-
ted that the Senator whose seat is contested,
had no political friends on the Committee of
Judiciary, the matter should be referred to
Select Committee. There were precedents for
such course.
Mr.. Seward said that when the Committees
were organized the minority objected to their
arrangement, for the reason that the minority
were not represented on important Committees
as they might be. As general thing he would
prefer these questions to 60 to the regular
Standing Committees, but it was the right of the
Senator from Iowa, although he had not insist
ed upon that right, to have some political friend
upon the Committees which was to act upon his
case.
Mr.. Butler observed, he should have too
much regard for his reputation as lawyer to
allow his judgment on legal and constitutional
questions, to be biased by political feelings,
but he would prefer the subject to go to Sc
lect Committee, composed of the oldest Sena-
tors.
Messrs. Hale and Fessenden preferred that the
usual course should be pursued.
The subject was then referred to the Com
mittee on the Judiciary, by yeas 81, nays ID.
