A DARING. CHEoK Swfspts ON. TIFFANY,

I DARING CHEok SwiNpfR ON TIFFANY
q Co. ARREST OF THE PERpErRAToR.-
On the 30ths Of October last two men call
ed at the jewelry store of Messrs. Tiffany
= Co., No. 800 Broadway, where they &C.
slected quantity of diamond ieweIry,
consisting of ear.drops, brooches, and
finger, rings, and valued at s2,I5e.r One of
the clerks, Mr.. Stodart, accompanied the
customers to their alleged residence, in
Fifth avenue, near Twenty-sixth street,
Tor the purpose of receiving payment for
the jewelry. These young menrepresented
themselves as the sons of the occupants,
Mr.. and Mrs. Barnum, and the carriage
stopping at the door, they invited the clerk
inside, and desired him to wait until they
could ind !" father" One Of the young
men soon returned with a check for
So, l56 on the City Bank, and gave it to Mr..
Stodart, who surrendered the goods to
him. &
In due time the check was found to be
q worthless ono, and Detectives Elder and
Coylc were placed In charge of the case
by Superintendent Kennedy. They ascer-
tanned that the operators in the scheme
had engaged q parlor and bedroom from
Mrs. Barnum the morning of the perpe-
tration of the swindle at the rate Of 800
per week, and one of them gave his name
as Henry Barclay Livingston, and gave
Mr.. Leonard W. Jerome as his reference.
AS soon as they obtained possession of the
diamonds, both men, who are supposed to
be brothers, disappeared. Further inves-
tigation led to the additional discovery that
Livingston alias Barnum was confined in
Jail in Portland, Me-, on charge of check
swindling, under the new name of George
W. Bradford. Mr.. Stodart, the clerk,
went to Portland with the detectives, and
visited the Jail, when he st once identified
Bradford as the principal in the swindle
on his firm. An Indictment was procured
from the grand jury in this city, upon
which Governor Fenton granted requisi-
ton on Governor Chamberlain, and in that
way possession of the prisoner was OBJ
tanned. The detectives reached New
York late yesterday afternoon, and the
prisoner, whose real name is Macdonald,
was lodged at police headquarters. He
will be arraigned before General Sessions
at an early day.-Ne.0 York Times.

Senate Report ON the Removal o
Secretary Stanton.


Secretary Stanton.
WASHINGTON, January 7.-Senator How
ards report on the removal of Secretary
Stanton takes the ground that Stanton
favored the reconstruction acts, while the
President evinced disposition to disre-
gard them, and even, if possible, seize the
reins of absolute power. This startling
purpose on the part of johnson was the
real ground of his differe nee with Stanton.
The latter had legal right to refuse to
resign, and the circumstances justified his
action. The report combats all the posi-
tions of the President-placing him in the
light of false accuser. It closes with o
resolution that the Senate do not concur
in Stanton's suspension. 1t also i'm
peaches the Presidents veracity regarding
the New Orleans riot.
