writes to General Arthur, whom he put
out of the New York custom house,
that it will give him great pleasure to
do his utmost to aid in the election OF
Mr. Cornell, whom he put out OF the
Naval office. Mr.. Sherman adds: 81
wish | could accept your invitation
without reserve; but in viewing en-
gagements made in Ohio, and the
official duties incumbent upon
me, | can not make any def
mite reply than to say that
by the middle of October hope to be
able to set aside two or three days to be
spent in your canvass at such places as
YOU may think | can render the most
satisfactory service" Mr.. COnkling has
his coat off for the canvass, and will
open with speech in Brooklyn next
week. Nearly every distinguished Re
publican in the country, including ev-
cry member of the cabinet, has been
asked to enter the campaign, and
nearly every one has refused
satisfactory answer. The last
two weeks in October will see the Re-
publican leaders here. Evarts is now
in town. He is to make several
speeches. Blaine and Garfield are ex-
pected soon. Fenton has promised to
help Conkling's candidate. Chandler is
coming and so are they all. On the
authority OF prominent Democrat it is
said that Robinson's campaign will not
be still hunt this year. The activity

PARKERSBURG.
A Gang of Burglars Surrounded
Running Fight Between
Them and the Citizens-Cap-
ture of One of the Gang.

PARKERsBURG, October 2.-The bur-
glary OF John Hammet's store at Cow
Creek Landing, last Monday night, was
followed by the burglary OF Hammets 5
house the same night by the gang.
About 800 in money and goods We're
taken from the store, and three or four
guns, besides other articles, from the
house. \ clue was found to the burglars
(who consisted of five or six des-
perate men, several of whom
are known to the officers OF the law,
and they were followed TO a piece of
woods above the mouth OF Big Run.
The citizens armed themselves and sur
rounded the woods, and caught sight of
the robbers at several points in the
woods. Shots were exchanged and
running skirmsh was carried on, in
which il is thought several OF the bur-
glars were wounded. One of the num-
ber, a notorious thief, was found, but
succeeded in getting away. The fight
and chase OF the burglars occurred on
Monday night. Tuesday morning the
sheriff of the county was telegraphed
for assistance and Officers Mehen
and Beckwith left for the scene of war.
During the afternoon and evening the
woods were secured, and the guns stol-
en- from Hammet's house were found,
but the gang had succeeded in making
their escape. A trail was at last struck
by officer Mehen, who captured man
named Glenn, and found a considerable
sum of money in silver, with revolvers
and other articles stolen from the store,
upon his person. Glenn was brought
in late last night and confined in Jail.
Bunch succeeded in making his escape
TO Ohio, while the others OF the gang
were scattered about and will no doubt
be run down during to-day or to-mor-
row.
