werc removed from the body Of the hall to
afford the ut1nost standing-rooln possible,
yet the dense crowd filled the building aud
gathered in tic streets outside tc the Eumbcr
lance, OF at least ten thousand. Thousands
went away without being able to get access
10 the building at MI.
But more impressive even thau the numbers
present were the intensity and determination
unanimously manifested to sustain Congress
in excluding rebel representatives from their

From lie ElE1ltA N, ~ Advertiser. 2fth1
One OF tue neatest and most successful de-
tectirc operations we have heard OF ia some
time cul1nlnated in our city today, in the ar
rest Of the perpetrators OF the systematic rob-
berries Of the Erie Railroad Company. The
treight orer the road known rs Time Freight
has been stolen for come two years past. The
robLerfes were conducted all along the road
from Port Jeryis to Dunkirk, and no clue Us
to how or where the freight was taken conla
be obtained, so systematic and well planned
and executed we're the operations of the
thieves Their plan was generally ns follows ::
They had keys with which they opened the
car doors when the train stopped here for
wood and water. One or two ofthe party would
enter the car, shutting the door after them.
Coudtderatcs were stationed along tue road,
aud nf1er the train left the city the parties In
tho car would open the door and roll out the
freight, which would be gathered up BY their
frIepds and carried to their hiding place. at
tic first stopping place the parties in the car
won]d leave and return here. About three
months ago the treI.ht-house In this city was
robbed Of from 81 600 to $1,000 worth Of
goods.
Oaiccr Knapp, special policeman Of the
Erie Railroad, was then sent here to watch,
md through his agency, one OF the most
rir anttc rohbfng schemes has been exposed
and the parties conducting It arrested. For
three months Officer Knapp and detective
from Buf1alo named john Shoop. have been
steadily engaged in watching the suspected
parties, and gradually drawing the rascass

TOWN AND COUNTRY

The bauefn1 effect Of larse cities upon the
minds Of The people is the very curse Of this
country. City life us If exists In New York.
Washington and most other clt1es is not cal
culated 10 tosicr allegiance TO good principles.
1nt lends constantly TO the worship Of cxpe-
diency. In the hustle aud excitement Of ci-
tics there is little opportunity to devote much
time aud thought to the conscientious coz
sidcta!ion of ruling questions. In the less
mcrctricious atmosphere O. snall towns md
Wild aycs, there Is. on the contrary, greater
scope for reGcct1ta md dclibesa,iou.
Hence We lnd in MI great emergencies the
inland population graritating MS heartily To-
ward the cause Of intrinsic justice, as metro
lo,itun communities arc apt to espouse reck-
less1y thot OF plausible wrong. There are no
doub. many exceptional circumstances to
operate against this tendency, hut as gene
ral rule it is corToborated by experience
Compare, for Instance, the enthusiasm
evinced In 80 many critical emergencies by
the population Of the towns and villages of
The State OF New York with the eallousncss,
idsolty and brutality Of its metropolis. 1t
would be OF course prcposterous TO infer from
this contrast that the people Of the interior
Of tue State arc all angels, and those Of The
