An expert thief has Iteen operating the line of thc Richmond and Alleghai railroad hetwe.cn Howardsvlllc and tl city, and there is good reason to sa pot-p that he has done nome success! work here also. From information 1 reived bj one of the employees of M John Wren's Detective Agency it a pesrs that the thief went into thc ra road station at Howardsville Wedne day night; went into that at Uren Itluir Thursday night, and at ncith place got anything. Friday nigl in the depot at Pemberton'*, got a thirty-two-calihre pistol. Sato day night he entered the re- dence of Mr. A. M. Seddon, near I) ver, and got the following sil vera an Two embossed pepper cruets, initia "J. S. V."; one sugar-dish and oi cream-pot with saucer, ami frostcd- tbc word '* Josephine" engravi upon it; one small celery cruet, in tials "J. r% V."; one frosted-silvi bucket for spoons; two old-rashioni salt-cellars, with two sinull spoons ar one mufitard-spoon. All of the abo' are gold-lined and of small dimensions one pair of old-fashioned sugar tong silver. Sunday night fee entered thc residem of Mr. Milton (syce, on thc corner- terete avenue and Mulberry avenue, ar sci tired the following articles: Oi ladies' dotiblc-case Swiss watch. No. ra-*en 7W3U; one ladies' chain, wil ni .k-( hain attached: also a pin wil roral head and a pearl on cadi sidi pair ol gold bracejets. plain : locke willi picture of an old gentleman, bar nf locket containing hair; one hillie: poid ring, ruby set. containing Uv pearls: one penllciiian's seal ring wil black set; one ladies'neck-chain, silvi li ia tire work, with medalion attached two pair of silver car-rings.one repri -enting a daisy and thc other arose tyvo ladies' silver breast-pins.one ri |irt-sciitiiip a guitar and the other a bo- if ribbon Loth composed of lilagre >ne pair of silver lilagrc bracelets ; M i ii-tli.ll.il- liiitioiial-liaiik note. Night before last he, or sonic on be. ( iitcred the residence ni Mr- >laytnii. on I hird street, (iambic'sHil md carried od' ii gold vvntcli and -/7"> nonet. The reason Mr, Wren has for sii| inning that all this robbery was don v one man is that at each place en ItBgRM WM effected throuuli a viimloi at Mrs. Slav tun's while Hie tinnily wot I supper): that generally the tint laed a large i|iiantity ol' matches lo nuking light : that Ute robberies fol owed in succession tot the operator' asy movements ; and that they iver II evidently Um work of i practicei and. The poli.-c generally do no. share ii lr. Wren's opinion as to UM robber* t Mis. Slav ton's. They think the hat BM dene bj "local talent ".pro iil.lv by a colored man. The follow iu- iv | deSCI iptiou ol' tin uni vilm operated on thc Alleghan- oad, obtained by Wren's men froii iflerent parties who saw the strange beni the stations or on the ronda k oung man about twenty-live or thirli ennofan shoal live feet seven inehn igh; light complexion; light hair mall, light moustache; black Den] at: blue silii ol clothes, iloulile-'ircastet nat: shoes iiiudil j (at that time) amt huh nt in the top ol' right one yy atdi-chaii nd a charin on il; rings on holli hands nineo ring on middle linger ol' left band he party won- a innff-colored noollei !urt. Mr. Wren's infonnation is that tin.' ian was at or about each ol the hu ali ea OB thc Alleghaiiy mad on UM <luii hen the ri 'Ilbery wa- ina.le or attempt I a< above narrated. lhere is un rea-on to -lisped thal ie author ol these robberies is tin ian who entered the lievv. and mosio- ;orc of Captain C.

The luau who robbed JchsaMen re¬ amed here tot several days al'ter- ards. and finn led to the North, and is hardly likely.peesible, hut not kel].that he would SO soon return Kichm.iinj.

Th* Baw |* ike lusMea Psrtlaateai 0»*r Ike Rr*«rt-ra, A Y'ienna letter says The civil wir that broke out recent ly in this city be¬ tween the press and Parliament termi¬ nated in a signal vii tory for thc knights of thc fTntil. Never iras lhere ev mci I in any hotly or among any professi:itt s stronger feeling of esprit de wits. The tpiarrel originated with Herr Von Sho- enrrer, thc turbulent anti-Semitic Depu¬ ty. Thc House was iv. lull session when Yon Behaaaaref rose and called atten¬ tion to thc fact that reporters, nitli dis¬ agreeable-looking faces, w-erc in the lol.bi's or corridors af the House, snd moved that they bc compelled to with- draw. Thc presence of thc reporters in thc lobbies was certainly nothing mw. as ihe lobbies communicate b~a special stairway with the reporters' gallery in order to facilitate intercourse between the latter and thc Deputies. This has been the HM since Austria has had a Parliament. There exists even a rule ol' the Hmi.se concerning this t iistom. which authorizes thc re¬ porters to enter into thc lobbies to talk with thc Deputies. Herr Smolka. President of thc Cham¬ ber, could therefore have forestalled the entire difficulty by suggesting to the fire-eat ing Deputy to study thc rules of thc House a little more carefully. In¬ stead of doing this, as bc should have done, he sustained the motion of Herr Schoeticrer. and the reporters were forbidden to appear thereafter in any part af the House reserved for thc mem¬ bers. To this uncalled-for uknee the entire pr< replied with I cry of contempt and indlgaation. A meeting was et-M at which the representatives of all the newspapers attended, without dhu.MM lion ot opinions or polities ; and it was then and there decided, with imposing solemnity, that until such time as thc House would make the am,mle tenor* aide the pram would not consider that bo.lv ns haviiif ary iriltaBOS. And mark that this decision was taken by nu n and papers that were IceUStOflmd to VBge against one another B relentless war. But on this occasion all discord and ill-feeling disappeared as l.v en¬ chantment. Thc professipa had been BTQSSly insulted, ami the insult should bc vigorously resented.

Peace was concluded, the parliamentary .

John Sleeper Clark, the actor, owned the work of art when it was di ¦ stroyed. and he valued it so highly that when George K. Goodwin, manager of the Walnut-Street Theatre, offered him $li,()00 for it, the comedian refused it. saying: .. Ne, George, it's worth more than that to hold for s rise." About the time the Kiralfy Brothers ..pened the Alhambra, now known as llavcrly's Theatre. Mire, tin- oldest partner, went to Paris in nearch ol' novelties, and after a good deal of negotiation induced i.ustave Hore to paint a drop-curtain representing " The Sleeping Beauty."

An expert thief has Iteen operatingthe line of thc Richmond and Alleghairailroad hetwe.cn Howardsvlllc and tlcity, and there is good reason to sa

pot-p that he has done nome success!work here also. From information 1

reived bj one of the employees of MJohn Wren's Detective Agency it a

pesrs that the thief went into thc ra

road station at Howardsville Wedneday night; went into that at UrenItluir Thursday night, and at ncithplace got anything. Friday niglin the depot at Pemberton'*,got a thirty-two-calihre pistol. Satoday night he entered the re-

dence of Mr. A. M. Seddon, near I)ver, and got the following sil vera anTwo embossed pepper cruets, initia"J. S. V."; one sugar-dish and oi

cream-pot with saucer, ami frostcd-tbc word '* Josephine" engraviupon it; one small celery cruet, intials "J. r% V."; one frosted-silvibucket for spoons; two old-rashionisalt-cellars, with two sinull spoons ar

one mufitard-spoon. All of the abo'are gold-lined and of small dimensionsone pair of old-fashioned sugar tongsilver.Sunday night fee entered thc residem

of Mr. Milton (syce, on thc corner-

terete avenue and Mulberry avenue, ar

sci tired the following articles: Oiladies' dotiblc-case Swiss watch. No.ra-*en 7W3U; one ladies' chain, wilni .k-( hain attached: also a pin wilroral head and a pearl on cadi sidipair ol gold bracejets. plain : lockewilli picture of an old gentleman, barnf locket containing hair; one hillie:poid ring, ruby set. containing Uv

pearls: one penllciiian's seal ring wilblack set; one ladies'neck-chain, silvili ia tire work, with medalion attachedtwo pair of silver car-rings.one repri-enting a daisy and thc other arosetyvo ladies' silver breast-pins.one ri

be. ( iitcred the residence ni Mr->laytnii. on I hird street, (iambic'sHilmd carried od' ii gold vvntcli and -/7">nonet.

The reason Mr, Wren has for sii|inning that all this robbery was donv one man is that at each place en

ItBgRM WM effected throuuli a viimloiat Mrs. Slav tun's while Hie tinnily wotI supper): that generally the tintlaed a large i|iiantity ol' matches lonuking light : that Ute robberies folowed in succession tot the operator'asy movements ; and that they iver

II evidently Um work of i practiceiand.The poli.-c generally do no. share ii

lr. Wren's opinion as to UM robber*t Mis. Slav ton's. They think thehat BM dene bj "local talent ".proiil.lv by a colored man.

The follow iu- iv | deSCI iptiou ol' tinuni vilm operated on thc Alleghan-oad, obtained by Wren's men froiiiflerent parties who saw the strangebeni the stations or on the ronda koung man about twenty-live or thirliennofan shoal live feet seven inehnigh; light complexion; light hairmall, light moustache; black Den]at: blue silii ol clothes, iloulile-'ircastetnat: shoes iiiudilj (at that time) amt huhnt in the top ol' right one yy atdi-chaiind a charin on il; rings on holli handsnineo ring on middle linger ol' left bandhe party won- a innff-colored noollei!urt.Mr. Wren's infonnation is that tin.'

ie author ol these robberies is tinian who entered the lievv. and mosio-;orc of Captain C. F. fohnsfta*, lris case the man bv use of skeleton-cys opened the front door and weillito the store. In the mole recent rob.LTies ihe thief, or thieves, went in bjii-mg windows.The luau who robbed JchsaMen re¬amed here tot several days al'ter-ards. and finn led to the North, andis hardly likely.peesible, hut not

that broke out recent ly in this city be¬tween the press and Parliament termi¬nated in a signal vii tory for thc knightsof thc fTntil. Never iras lhere evmci Iin any hotly or among any professi:itt s

stronger feeling of esprit de wits. Thetpiarrel originated with Herr Von Sho-enrrer, thc turbulent anti-Semitic Depu¬ty. Thc House was iv. lull session whenYon Behaaaaref rose and called atten¬tion to thc fact that reporters, nitli dis¬agreeable-looking faces, w-erc in thelol.bi's or corridors af the House, sndmoved that they bc compelled to with-draw. Thc presence of thc reportersin thc lobbies was certainly nothingmw. as ihe lobbies communicate b~aspecial stairway with the reporters'gallery in order to facilitate intercoursebetween the latter and thc Deputies.This has been the HM since Austriahas had a Parliament. There existseven a rule ol' the Hmi.se concerningthis t iistom. which authorizes thc re¬porters to enter into thc lobbies to talkwith thc Deputies.

Herr Smolka. President of thc Cham¬ber, could therefore have forestalled theentire difficulty by suggesting to thefire-eat ing Deputy to study thc rules ofthc House a little more carefully. In¬stead of doing this, as bc should havedone, he sustained the motion of HerrSchoeticrer. and the reporters wereforbidden to appear thereafter in anypart af the House reserved for thc mem¬bers.To this uncalled-for uknee the entire

pr< s« replied with I cry of contemptand indlgaation. A meeting was et-Mat which the representatives of all thenewspapers attended, without dhu.MMlion ot opinions or polities ; and it was

then and there decided, with imposingsolemnity, that until such time as thcHouse would make the am,mle tenor*aide the pram would not consider thatbo.lv ns haviiif ary iriltaBOS. Andmark that this decision was taken bynu n and papers that were IceUStOflmdto VBge against one another B relentlesswar.
