ROBBERY WITH TRAINED PIGEoNS.-A new
species of robbery has of late been perpetrated
in New York by a gang ofyoung boys, aided by
pigeon. The modus operandi of the thieves
was really very clever. They first threw their
trained pigeon over the fence or wall into the
rear yard of the house they proposed roDplns'
and then two of them went to the front base
ment door. They asked leave OF the servant 10

seeming intent, q proper one, was invariably
Granted and one went into the yard. While he
was endeayoring to catch the pigeon, and at
tracing the attention Of all in the house to the
rear yard. the other thief glided into the front
basement with: bag, and scooped IN all the
silverware and valuable property ne could lay
hands on and then promptly skedaddled. sur
ficient time having elapsed, the trained pigeon
was'at once caught, and the second tibet lett

ssThe Fcninns Arc COming,,,

We have announced the departure Of Dona-
van Rossa and other Fenan prisoners from
England, after protracted incarceration in
the dungeons of Great Britain for the crime
Of loving their native country. They will
soon be here, having taken passage on board
the Cunard steamer Cuba for this port. Now,
what will be done by their fellow sympathiz-
ers here to give them o cordial reception |?
The Tammany democracy seem to have taken
the matter under their wing, and to have sub
scribed something like twenty thousand dol
lars for the reception of the patriots. But
what have the republicans done? There are
republican Fenians as well as democratic
Fenians. If the republicans allow all the
glory of giving these liberated prisoners in
freedoms cause cordial welcome to the
democraby alone, what claim can the republ-
cans have upon the Fenian element for sup
port hereafter? Where is the republican
Collector Murphy, where is the republican
Postmaster Jones, where is the republican
Marshal Sharpe, where are the members of
the republican Union League and all the rest of
the republican leaders, that they do not come
forward and literally subscribe for an ovation
in honor of these brave but unfortunate men |?
Delays are dangerous

jectivs point. Had he failed to capture
Savannah or Charleston he still had Beaufort,
Port Royal and other points on the South Car
olina coast, then in possession Of the Union
forces, to go to and prevent his Isolation in a
hostile country. Besides, he had to PISS
through territory containing no fortresses what
ever. On the other hand, Bourbaki would have
no objective point. Not single German sea-
port is in the possession of the French, and all
are heavily fortified. In addition he would have
to traverse y country covered with network
of fortresses, in perfect condition for defence,
which would completely destroy all his lines
of communication with France if he passed
between and left them in his rear. We there
fore dismiss as untenable the statement that
he meditates an invasion of Germany. Our
special despatch announcing his advance on
Nancy gives the correct report of his move
ments. Further east simultaneous advance
upon Won Werder protects Bourbaki from any
attempt to cut him off his base at Lyons.
German sources of this movement, although it
is certainly fraught with great peril to the in
vaders. Bourbak once in possession of Nancy
would completely isolate the German armies
from communication with Germany. Were it
not for the repeated statements of the French
advance in this direction we should be inclined
to doubt that any has been made, in the alb
sence of reports of German measures to foil it.
We may, however, expect shortly fuller d.
velopments of the plans of both armies, which
will remove all doubts and reveal the situation
clearly and intelligibly.
On the whole we see no prospect Of the i'm
mediate close Of the war in France. Since the
capture of the French army at Sedan General
Won Moltke's generalship has been less vigor-
ous and successful than it was at the opening
of the war. Three times since he has defeated
the French-twice on the Loire and once near
Amiens-and each time he has failed 10 follow
up his victory. AS for the French generals,
they have exhibited an astonishing amount of
imbeclity thus far. Whether it be .he result
of Gambettas interference or their own in
capacity we know not, but it is certain that
their plans have been wretchedly bad. The
present movements of Bourbaki and the opera
tions Of Chanzy and the Army Of Bordeaux
are the first evidences of good generalship
since the revolution Of September. But the
final success of these depends so absolutely upon
the ability of Paris to hold out and upon
Trochu's promptness in taking advantage Of the
first weakening of the German investing line,
that it is yet probable that they will end in a
crushing disaster.

The New Section in the st. Domingo Treaty.

The New Section in the st. Domingo Treaty.
This section provides that for the time
being the United States shall pay to the
republic of Dominica the sum of one hundred
and fifty thousand dollars per annum as the
rent for the Bay of Samana. Mr.. Fabens, as
the representative of President Baez, is, it
appears, now in Washington for this money;
but, as the treaty is not ratified, there is no
law for the outlay, and 50 tn, prospect of
getting the money looks rather blue for Mr..
Fabens. He will probably have to wait till
the three commissioners proposed shall have
gone down to the island, and shall have
travelled all round it and all over it, and
after examining into its history since the
discovery Of Christopher Columbus, and into
its soil, climate, productions, and everything
concerning it, in the heavens and the earth
and the waters around and under that piece
of earth, shall have reported to Congress all
the facts in dozen large volumes of manu-
script and thousand printed volumes COL
lected on said island, and until Congress shall
have examined this report and acted upon
it in passing joint resolution of annexation.
In word, Mr.. Fabens will perhaps be acting
most wisely to withhold his ''little bill' for
a year or two, unless he thinks that, in spite
of Sumner, he can get it out of the Senate.

THE WAR SITUATION IN FRANCE. Gable
despatches-the few which we have been
favored with-afford us little information as
to the military situation in France and the
movements of the opposing armies. Mention
is made of Prince Frederick Charles moving
on LIE Mans to operate against General
Chanzy, but we hear nothing of Bourbak ana
his army or the forces operating against him.
Trochu in Paris has enrolled all the able
bodied male population under his standard-a
pretty fair indication that he is determined to
fight to the last. The bombardment continues,
but with little effect so far.

The Motley Correspondence.

We publish in full this morning. in another
for by Senators Morton and Sumner, few
days ago, relative to TIE causes OF Minister
Motley's sudden and peremptory recall from
his position as Minister to England. 1t will
be remembered that Senator Sumner expressed
some fear that the President would not fur
nish the special letter of Mr.. Motley, written
after he was removed, because it was a CON-
plete arraignment of the Presidents motives
for removing; and, except for few lines Of
Introductory thrown in purpessly to give it an
official character, it might be counted out
as simply a private note. Mr.. Sumner,
however, was altogether mistaken. Tho
letter of Mr.. Motley is by no means
complete arraignment of the Presidents
motives. 1t is official in one sense, although
not conforming to the customary official Ell.
quette, and it has been very promptly ten
dered for the consideration Of the Senate.
The letter of Minister Motley sets forth
in substance that he has faithfully carried out
the instructions given him at the outset of the
mission; that he has secured Naturalization
Treaty and effected the release of the Fenan
prisoners and performed other important
duties. As to the Alabama claims, he has
never received a power to act in regard to
them from the government, and he went no
further in the matter than to intimate q, much
to Lord Clarendon. He has strictly fulfilled
his instructions, and, knowing no other rea-
ian FL {n tha c,ok
that Senator Sumner had defeated the admin
isiration st. Domingo measure. Secretary
Fish, in reply, states that the eX-Minister did
exceed his instructions regarding the Alabama
claims and other matters; that he put forward
his own views rather than those Of the Presi-
dent, and that the patience of the Executive
was severely tested before he fully determined
| to remove him.
The telegraphc despatch Mr.. Motley sent
to Secretary Fish Immediately after his note
Of recall, and in which he peremptorily de-
clnes to resign, is calculated to make the ex-
Minister look rather smaller than his great
| reputation as man of letters would other-
| wise permit This refusal to resign when
requested to do so by the President, at whose
sole pleasure he holds his commission, recalls
the days of McCracken, the consular spy,
who told some tales Of Motley to Secretary
Seward when he was Ambassador to Vienna.
Motley resigned promptly enough then. His
refusal now serves to recall also the case Of
Stanton, who refused to resign or Be put out
of the War Office when Andy Johnson re-
signed. Sumner then said ''stick," and it is
a possible inference in the present case that
Motley was counting on the prospects OF
another Johnson Congress feud, and, it may
be, even counted on holding his position
by the strong support of another tenure Of
Office law.

ENGLISH CONSCIENCE AND Tory HONESTY
