capture of Car Thieves.
W York dispatch says;


The Erie Railroad Company has long
been subjected to serious loss by car thieves
on different divisions of the road, especially
on the Shawangunk mountain. From Port
Jarvis to OtisyiHe, a distance of twelve
miles, a very heavy grade is necessary to
Garry the road to the top of the mountain
Valuable freight has been taken by thieves
in connection, no doubt, with the brake
men, and carried of in the woods. The
officers of the company have suspected per-
sons living in the vicinity of Shin Hollow,
about six miles from Port Jarvis, and a clue
was obtained last week which led to the
detection of nine thieves. Last Wednesday
night three men were seen to get on a
freight train at. Port Jarvis after dark.
Next day, among other freight that was
missing were a number Of sheep. that had
been consigned to cattle dealers in Jersey
City.
Suspicion at once fell upon James, Peter
and Garrett Conklin, and the company's at
torney dispatched an officer, and after
tedious search on the mountains, they were
found on Friday morning. surrounded by
unmistakable proofs of their guilt. In the
house of James Conklin large quantities of
mutton were found, with other property
that had been on the train. The three
Conklins were arrested, and the six confed-
crates subsequently apprehended and taken
10 Port Jarvis. At a hearing before Justice
'Clawson, they were all sentenced as severely
as the law would permit. Peter Conklin
promising information which would lead to
further arrests, no action was taken against
him. An officer returned with him to Shin
Hollow last night. 1t appears that barrels
of beef, casks of ham, flour. coal, and other
commodities have been thrown from the
trains at this point, for long time past.
Three thieves jump on the train at Port
Jarvis, and on arriving at certain points the
freight is rolled of, and quickly taken away
by confederates.

Australian Parliament.

We are under obligations to John L.
Davies, Esq, one of our well known citi-
zens, for late copy Of the Melbourne
Leader, containing notices of his brother,
Mr.. B. G. Davies, member of the Austria
liam Parliament.
The new legislative assembly is COM
posed of seven cabinet ministers, nineteen
ex-ministers, seventeen new members, and
thirty-five who had previously occupied
seats in Parliament from time to time. The
Leader presents to its readers portraits OF
the members.of the first assembly, elected
under the principle of compensation, and
furnishes brief chronicle of the salient
incidents in their public career.
Of the old members, Mr.. B. G. Davies
.(Avoca), is a native of Merthyr-Tydwel,
Wales, Unitarian, and mining agent.
His parliamentary career commenced in
1861.
Mr.. Davies has been elected chairman of
committees, as the following report in the
Leader shows:
Contrary to general expectation, Mr.. B.
G. Davies has been landed the winner in
Inc 5eCOnu BIdnu parliamentary IdCc VI tIlo
season. This, although he was considered
to the very last moment a doubtful starter,
and the race had been ported to one of two
competitors, Messrs. G.. V. Smith or Z. L..
Smyth AS it was, Mr.. Davies, to continue
our sporting metaphor, won only by nose,
the numbers on decisions being thirty -four
votes for him and thirty three against him.
Mr. Smith was utterly distanced, but Mr..
Smyth never had a start for his money,
which is q shame. After expanding any
amount of cash on that pretty little hand
book of parliamentary practice, he deserved
better than he received. The speaker, how
ever, decided that each member proposed
should be put separately. Mr. Davies
friends took the first chance of proposing
chairman after Mr.. Smith had been rejected,
ard the division sat Mr.. Davies in the chair.
The ministry, foiled with regard to Mr. q.
" Smith, supported Mr. B. g. Davies.
There was, however, one notable excep-
ton: Mr. Mcpherson did not vote. But
then Mr. Mcpherson never was a grateful
man. Had he been so, he would never
have forgotten how once upon time Mr..
Davies kept his ministry in Office by voting
for certain restrictions proposed by Mr.
Mexican for the appointment of a commits
sion. to examine into the working of the
Land Department. Strange to say, then
the existence of the Mcpherson ministry
hung on the breath of Mr.. Davies, and he
saved that existence. The Hon. Mr..
Mcpherson has shown his gratitude by
walking out of the House when Mr.. Davies
name was proposed as chairman of COM
mittees. Verify, Mr.. Mcpherson is a
thoughtful man, and a creditto any party
to which he-may ally himself. The only
question is, which viii be the nexta

[From the Nozzle Tribune.l

The Albany, Mobile and New Orleans
Railroad Company has recently issued a
circular, which states the purposes of the
company to be: First-To build road from
Albany, Georgia, to Pollard, Alabama, the
distance by direct line being 100 miles; by
railroad 100 miles. Second-To make ar
rangements with existing railroads to form
a line under one management to Mobile and
TO New Orleans, or to continue the lines to
those cities The circular adds that this
road. if built, would make the distance
from Mobile to Savannah 450 miles, to
Macon 1856 miles, and to Monticello, Florida,
1877 miles. The distance from Mobile to
Brunswick, Georgia, would be reduced
thirty-seyen miles, and from Mobile to
Charleston, South Carolina, ninety-eight
miles. The circular further claims that, for
a considerable distance, the road will pass
through a good cotton and grain producing
country, and, for the remainder, through
heavily timbered pine lands well watered
and healthy, and capable of developing a
good local trade. The circular proceeds as
follows:
BY the time the Albany, Mobile and New
Orleans railroad can be completed the New
Orleans, Mobile and Texas railroad, now
under construction, will be completed to
Houston, Texas, and chus a direct and CON
tinuous line will be formed from Savannah
to Mobile, 450 miles; Mobile to New Or
leans, 140 miles; New Orleans to Houston,
Texas, 1873 miles; total, 925rmiles. A branch
of this line will also be constructed from
VermiliOnyille, Louisiana, to Shreveport,
Louisiana, 1875 miles. What is still more
important to the cities of New Orleans,
Mobile and Savannah is that, within COM
paratively short time, the Southern Pacific
railroad will be completed, and by branch
line to New Orleans, and the Albany, Mo
bile and New Orleans completed, these
cities would be brought on to one of the
two shortest lines between the Pacific and
Atlantic oceans, and would reap the benefit
of much of the great trade and travel
which thatroa viii bring.
The Albany, Mobile and New Orleans
railroad, chartered, organized and operated
as a trunk road, without discrimination
against any other road. is calculated to
harmonic and promote the interests of all,
and it is hoped and expected that railroads,
cities and people viii unite in furnishing
the means for its speedy permanent organi-
cation and construction.

Transportation Of Bonded Goods.

WASHINGTON, August 3.-The Ohio and
Mississippi railroad has given bonds at the
treasury for transporting imported goods
without breaking bulk, and in connection
with the BALTIMORE and Ohio and Marietta
roads, previously bonded, this class of mer-
chandise is now sent directly from the
custoninouse at Baltimore to Cincinnati and
St. Louis, and duty collected at those points.
trail road; via Harrisburg and Pittsburg, to
the same points. The arrangements of
these companies and of other railroads thus
far bonded do not interfere with the general
bond lately given by an express company,
and accepted by the Secretary of the Treas
ury, to transport imported merchandise in
bond between all ports named in the act
authorizing the same, and also including
transportation between the East and West
on the main lines of Canada. II
