Raid on Freight Car Thieves.

CLEVELAND o., February "a sue
cessiul raid upon party OF freight car
thieves was made at New London, on
the &. G. &. & |. G. railroad few days
ago, which resulted in the arrest of Mon
roe Weisner, David Mary and Emery
Sheldon. The plans Of the robbers were,
when trains were stopping for wood and
water, to emerge quietly under cover OF
darkness from the adjacent woods, and
force open the car doors by means Of
jimmes, while part of the gang
stood watch, in order to apprise their
cUnfedcrates. of danger and rush to their
assistance in case of an attack. Once in
side the cars they would wait until the
train started, as the running noise con-
cealed their movements, and then toss
out small boxes, or such goods II. they
chose. The officers of the road, aided by
special detectives from abroad and some
members of the Cleveland police force
carefully perfected their plans and laid
in wait for the robbers. A rush was
made as they approached the train, and
promlscuous shots were fired by the de-
teCtives. The robbers, however, sue
ceeded in making their escape, but were
afterwards pursued and the four named
secured ut point nine miles south of
New London. One OF the gang, Reuben
Sheldon, is still at large. The parties
were arraigned before Justice Adams,
of Norwalk, and the steps preliminary to
a trial were taken.

Monday evening, at Appleton, a small
town, twelve miles from this city, during

tween two brothers named Samuel and

upon DAVIS, seized q hammer lying

him instantly. Davis fell with his head
in the forge and his face was burned to

International RiHe Contest.

LONDON, February 2.-The details OF
the proposed international rifle contest
are not so easy of arrangement as at first
supposed. There was an implied under
standing when the National Association
accepted the American challenge that the
team selected whould be the only one
from Great Britain. The efforts OF the
Americans to induce teams from Scotland
and Ireland, to 90 out will lead to re-
opening of the whole question, if not the
withdrawal OF the rifle Association from
the field altogether A meeting Is 10 be
held to reconsider the matter, and unless
the team is strong enough TO satisfy Sir
Henry Haford that it can be relied upon,
the association will certainly not send
any representatives.
The statue of Lord Palmerston in the
Palace Yard. Westminster, was unveiled
to-day. There was no ceremony.

History OF Thomas, the Dynamite
Ffend.'

Ffend.i -
LONDON, February "A report pre-
sentng the result of the investigation
into the Bremen Haven explosion has
been published by the Bremen authori-
| ties. According to his own deposition
the name of the perpetrator was William
King Thompson He was born in
Brook, in 1880. HIS parents, who en-
igrated from Hamburg to America, are
now living in Virginia. Thompson was
taken prisoner while running block
ade during the late war in the United
States, but he escaped and fled South,
where he passed under the name Of
Thomas. He mentioned man named
G. fillmore, of New York, as
an accomplice, but made no
reference TO any other accomplices.
His wife supposed his name was Alex
ander, There is no evidence that he en-
tered into relations with the Under
writer's for plotting against vessels pre-
vious to 1876, nor is there any evidence,
except the insurance of three thousand
marks on the barrel which exploded that
he insured any goods to be shipped by
Thomson. The Court came to the con-
clusion that he intended to hand the
small box to the officers of the Moselle,
declaring it contained greenbacks and
that he intended to have the
box insured. In June, 1875, Thomas
insured the goods on the steamer Rhein
for $4,000 through Barings of London.
His wiies evidence shows that previous
to his departure in November, 1875,
Thomas anxously waited for letter
from England, which he concealed when
it arrived. ..r-r

been the habit of the party in the msjor-
ity IN Congress heretofore. But the
country expects much of this, the first
Democratic Congress for fifteen years.
Abuses are to be corrected; corruptions
unearthed and exposed; thieves and de-
faulters prosecuted and punished; ex-
travsgancies abolished; economy insti-
tuted ana enforced.
These things will all come SO far as it
is in the power of the House to bring
them about, before it closes its session
next summer.
1t is the opinion of the leading men
here that Senator Davis, move on the
entrenchments OF the enemy, in his clear
and able expose of the terrible condition
of the books of the Treasury Depart
ment has had a most damaging effect
upon that party. While Conkling, Ed
munds and Morton were able to sneer
down the proposed Investigation in tie
Senate, under party drill, the alarming
condition of the Treasury accounts is q
glaring and living reality in the minds
OF capitalists, bankers and others whose
interests are involved. Distinguished and
well posted gentlemen, sach as Col.
r. NJ. T. Merrlck of this city, Hon. S. 5.
Cox, General Ransom, ETC., tell
me that the lead stuck
by Senator Davis will prove a real bo.
nanzs If skillfully worked, as it would
have been il Davis had got his commit.
tee. The Senate may throttle investiga-
ton into abuses OF the Administration,
but there is Democratic house with
keen eyes, and determined purpose.
Look tor lightning from that quarter by
the opening of summer. This expose of
Mr.. Davis, the attempt to investigate
and the determination of the Radicals to
smother investigation, has attracted a
vast deal of attention throughout the
country; and letters of the most encourag-
ing character have poured in on Senator
Davis, from prominent msn, all over the
country.
AIN proud to find that for energy, in
dustry, devotion to duty and ability, the
West Virginia delegation in both the
Senate and House stand exceptionally
high. The oldest and ablest members
unite in bearing voluntary testimony to
the merits and influence of our Senators
aDQ Representatives. LIE NV tho VIC
or ut least it has not been, for members
of Congress to work as hard and as dill.
lgently look into the details OF the bust
ness of the country as is the habit OF
Messrs. Davis, Wilson, Hereford, Caper-
ton and Faulkner. 1t is, therefore, easy
to understand how they accomplish so
much more than many other. members
do, and why they rank so high.
If a man does his duty rs member
of Congress, 1t is far from being holl-
day Job. Senator Caperton expressed 1t
when he said: II would rather run
Circuit Court than perform the labors OF
y member of the Committee on Claims
Yet his duties as member of this COM
mittee are but tithe Of the duties OF
member of the body. ID.

treaty or law of the United States, or
where the court shall certify that it ln-
wolves a legal question sufficient to re.
quire final decision by the Supreme
Court.

reported bill regulating
Practice I'm the u. n. Circuit and Dis
trict Courts,
as to the time and manner OF instructing

times to see President Grant re elected
rather than see the Office filed by. one OF
those who twelve years ago were IN arms
against the Government.
Mr.. Knott, Chairman of the Judiciary
Committee closed the debate with Il
speech favoring the proposed amendment.

the term of Office OF President and Vice
President shall be six years.

Policy OF the Democratic Congress
senator Davis Investigating Reese.
IutiOns-west ' rsinia Delegation
Work.


WASHINGTON, d. C., February /,
Editors OF the Register:
The conviction is pretty general here
that, while the Radicals have made no
capital for themselves since the meeting
VI Congress, the prospects Of the Democ-
racv have not been materially improved.
1t is true, the Democratic House has
been busy in It's strict line OF legislative
duty. A very large number OF import
ant bills have been Introduced and re-
ferred to appropriate committees. These
measures are being malured aS rapidly as
8 due regard to careful drlib. ration and
a thorough examination ot all their de
tails will permit. Several coWmittees
have been appointed to make investiga-
lions into the supposed extravagances
and corruptions Of some of the Depart
ments. The duties of these committees
will necessarily be laborious, extensive
and long protracted; and must
be pursued with patience and
skill. All the standing committees are
now hard at work perfecting measures
for the action OF the House. The lead
ing committees, such as Commerce,
WAYS and Means, Appropriations, &c,
have their work well on the way. 1t Is
believed that these important measures
will be completed and acted upon earlier
in this session than is usual. Ha-4
But still, the fact is patent, that the
House has not yet improved the situa-
ton of the Democratic party ofthe coun-
try II hos prohahlVa done its duty to
the country, without regard to effect
upon the party; it has certainly not dam
aged either the country or party, as has.
