THIETINO.—One night -last week a
mean thief carriel;ff from the garden of
M. C. Cameron, vela npmber 'of pots
of green house plantehshich had been
sot outside for the summer, some of
them being rare and valuable varieties.
The thief borrowed Mr. Cameron's
wheelbarrow to convey his booty home,
returning it after having done so. In
the morning the track of the wheel-
barrow was traced up the Cambria Road -
to a house in the neighborhood of the
foundry, and as there was no doubt
where the plants had gone a search war-
rant was obtained. On examining the
house in question the stolen property
could not be discovered, it having no
doubt been removed between the time
when Mr. Cameron's son, with the
ordener. were seen tracing the wheel-
barrow marks to the house, and the pro. •
curing of the warrant. As there is no
doubt as to who the thief is his subse-
quent movements will bo watched, and
it would be well for him to act more
honeatly in future if he wishes to keep
out of > trouble. It is very annoying to
have one's garden robbed, and as this
sort of thing is of frequent occurrence
we trust the guilty parties may be secur-
ed and punished.
R. HAWLEY, ESQ , has furnished us
with a Detroit paper containing certain
correspondence which. he has had with
W. M. Burwell, Esq., of New Orleans,
on the subject of direct trade between
Detroit and that city. The two places
are connected by rail so closely that the
Jo* urney may. be made in 57 hours. Mr.
Burwell points out the advantage of
"longitudinal trade, or etchaege of com-
modities produced on different parellels
of latitude." He thinks it would be the
the a.dvantage of Detroit merchants to
import Southern fruits, sugars, coffees,
dye woods, hides, &c., by this inboard
route in preference to the long water
route teia tho Hudson or St. Lawrence
rivers._ The correspendence has been
laid before the Detroit Board of Trmle,
which has euggested to the meichants of
Michigan that they may find it to their
advantage to test the relative cost. of

MR. Af'MULLEN'S NARRATIVE
To the' Editor of the Globe. •
SI a, much has been said of late
about myself, and my connection with
the Pacific Railway negotiations that I
think it better to lay a full statement of
ray position in regard to it before the
public than to longer allow myself to be
placed in so many wrong situations by
those who aro of rocessity ignerant of
many important facts. I have chosen,
therefore, to. place it in the form of an
historical narrative, embracing the inci-
dents that came under my own knew -
ledge from- the time I first engaged in
the matter untit the granting. of tho
charter by tho Government to its pre-
sent holders.
I visited Ottawa in March, 1871, on a
Chicago delegation connected with the
enlargement Of the canals,. and while
there mot the tato lamented Mr. Alfred
Waddington and Mr. Wm. Kertsmane
who were agitating the subjoin of a Ca-
nadian Paoifie Railroad and who intro-
duced tho matter to my notico with a
view to organize a•company to b'uild the
propos'ed road. After looking at the
surveys and explorations of Mr. Wad-
dington, who was well informed eu the
physical nature of tho Pacific coast; 1
concluded to take the Subjece before
-some friends with a VIM to itS serions
consideration. In a few weeks, at my
request, Mr. Waddington and Mr. Kerte-
man visited Chicago, and tho result was,
on their representatione, that with my
friends I proposed to organize a com-
pany which it ould undertake to build a
read, 011 terms approximatino those
which ceireent rumour relented tho
Government RS willine to recommend to
Parliament. Wo visited New 1 ork awl
Philadelphia shortly afterwards, and in
about six weeks later (being early in
July, 1 e71,) we visited Ottawa with an
informal propesal, from' parties of the
highest respectability for undertaking
the work. The only members of the
Government wheel we met were Sir
John A. Macdonald and Sir Francis
Ilincks; and it speedily become. apparent
to myself and associates that Wadding-
toirlad boon over -sanguine in his ideita
that tho formation of a compaey wonld
be entrusted to his Hands. After some
conversatien which tended to make this
clear, and which 'intimated that tho Gov-
ernment would wish to incorporate pro-
minent Canadian namee in any company
undertaking the work, WO left our ad-
dress with the two Ministera, with the
rinderetauding that if occasion for it
arose We wore to hear from them.
Some few weeks afterwards, Mr. Chas.
M. Smith, who was my colleague in this
matter, received a letter from Sir Hugh
Allan, stating that Sir Franois Hincks
had requested hitn to eommunicato with
Mr. Graeey of Usborne, Rev Mr. Lund us in 'order to effect a union of Canadian

was authorized to promise Mr. Langevin

had done so.
Notwithstanding the repeated pledges
we had received, and the apparently
strong position wo occapied, both Sir -
Hugh arid myself had grave fears of the
result, in consequence of the tiosition
taken by Mr. Macpherson and his Mende
and the animosity of the Grand. Trunk

during the present session :
"With regard eo the assertion that a
belief `exists every whore' that the Ca-
nadian Company still intend to carryout
tho design of combieation with Ameri-
can capitalists, it is only necessary to
say that tho gentlemen who say so no
doubt speak truly as to some limited
circle with which they are in immediate
cemmunication. But the Canada Cern-
pany emphatically deny that beyond

"The Canada Company are aware that
a negotiation was commenced during the
summer of eighteen hundred and seven-
ty-one, between Sir Hugh Alla,n and
_pertain Atnerican capitalists for the for-
mation of a company to construht and
run the Canada Paci5c itailway; but
they are infortned by Sir Hugh Allan,
and have satisfied themselves by to full
inquiry into tho circuinsta,nces and de-
tails of that nee,otietion, that it was not
initiated by sir Hugh, and that it was
conumniced and sepported byiniltion-
iial persons in Canada, As being tho only
oombinetion that offered itself at that
time for the construction and running of
the road; but. they are satislied that that
negetiation never possessed the charac-
ter attributed to it by the Intoroceanic

so great an interest without the most

gotiation is entirely foreign to tho pro-
pesition now being, considered. That
lie,rotiation terminated when Sir Hugh
Allan engaged with others in the forma-
tion of the -Canada Company, and it has
never been renewed-.
"The Canada Company never partici-
pated in that negotiation, and never
eensidered or entertftined any proposi-

aid from American capitalists; or of cone -
billing with them for the. prosecution of
the Railway, or fur any other purpose.

excitement, caused by the forcible abduct -
Mon from that place, by Yankee detec-
dyes, of a British subject. A person
known as "Lord Gordon," reported to
be connected with tho Gould Fisk Erie
affair, has beon rusticating in thst coun-
try for eight monthe. On Tuesday
evening, lst inst. as he was sitting on
the verandah of. the house of Hon. Jas.
McKay, he was seized, pistols held to his
head, tied, and borne off to a carriage in
waiting, and driyen away towards Pem-

rested the whole party. The two Ameri-
can detectiees were returned to Fort

an investigation of the outrage. There
have recently been' several mysterious

"G. W. AcMullen Bay.,
" DEAR SIR,— fluty° had an oppor-
tunity to look over the statement you
make in 'regard to your connection with
the Canada ficitic Railroad submitted
to me for the purpose mentioned in your
letter of the 15th, and I have this much
to say in reesird to it. With the first
part of your history of the matter r
personally unacqnainted, as our inter-
course did not begin until the opening of
the session of 1872, when we wore intro-
duced by Kr. Abbott. My negotiations
on the subject of the Pacific Railway
previous to that timo had been with Sir
thigh Allan- and Mr. Abbott, though
from the commenooment I had. been
aware of the arrangements made with
American parties whom you represented.
1 was associated during the session of
1872 with Allan, Abbot and yourself, in
all the stages of proonring the charter. of
the Canada Pacific Railway Company,
and in all the efforts ,made to secure to
that Company the contract to build the
Road, and as a consequence, was familiar
with many points naturally rising there-
from. Idiscussed with you my personal
position under the • proposed arrange-
ments, and with yourself, Allan and
Abbott, all the main features of thZ leg-
islation preposod and such ae' were
deemed thecessery for tho object. As
you state, there were difficulties in tho
way of closing matters-. and I was aware
of the agreement with Mr. Langevin,
to which you refer, ,as it was frequently
discussed between us•and Mr. Abbott. I
was also aware from tire first of Sir G eorgo
Cartier's opposition tO Sir Hugh Allan,
and of the means by which Sir George
was forced to forego this opposition.
In regarell tp the payment of money
for election purposes I was informed of
the arrangement with Sir George Cartier,
and was also shown a conerneatory tele-
gram from Sir John A. Macdonald. I
understand the affair to be substantially
as you have related and I have reason
to believe that large sums of money
were actually expended for election pur-
poses under the arrangement.

now, and he has got a journey before
