probability of Samuel Tilden being a candidate for Presi dent in 1884 They show their fear of him and begin to talk of a feeble old man his barrel of money wreck ing of railroads etc They evidently

average respectability bearing about the same relation to ordinary faro tables that the Stock Exchange bears to but Judge Tuley has given an opinion in regard to tele graphic matters which all

celebrated at Ha vana Illinois the first anniversary of abstinence from the use of intoxi cants since he was ten years old On the occasion of the celebration Lu ther was the recipient of numerous congratulatory letters from distin guished people all over the country These letters all breathed encour agement to Luther to hold out in his course of abstinence Mr Ben son is without doubt one of the strongest and most popular temper ance lecturers ami is capable of do ing great good in the cause but the trouble heretofore has been that af ter a successful lecturing tour he would go back to his old habits Now that he has kept sober for a year it is to be hoped that his reform will be permanent 'The Republican papers have been having a good time for the past week in publishing articles in relation to the alleged unfriendly feeling exist ing between Hons Thomas A Hen dricks and Joseph McDonald The Palladium a few days ago pub lished several extracts from papers in reference to the ill feeling exist ing between these two distinguished Democrats and commented on it in the following gushing style significance of the quarrel is that while the Democrats are like dogs and the Republicans are healing old feuds shaking etc The will not feel so jubilant when it ascertains that no unfriendly feeling exists between Messrs McDonald and Hendricks and that the accounts it published were purely imaginary The Repub licans are catching at any sort straws to keep their courage up BELL RICHMOND LOAN Beal Estate and tamce Ajeecj Established 29 Years With all the discouraging reports of

good men and true sworn to deliver a ver dict according to the law and evi dence yesterday declared the Star Route defendants We notice already a disposition to blame and villify the jury It ought to be said for the jurymen who for the most part are obscure men without the power to defend themselves that the prosecution were well satisfied with them when impaneled and long afterward The attorneys for the Government made no complaint a month after the trial began that the jury were either drunkards or too ignorant to discharge the duty or that they were too corruptible Is it proper now when they have ren dered their verdict to attack their characters and qualifications because the verdict not merely acquitted the defendants but condemns the At torney General and his The Tribune says jury

WASHINGTON LETTER rom our regular Corretawndent Washington C' June 16 1883 The close of the Star Route trial on Thursday has been the only top ic of general interest in Washington during the present week After a series of trials almost unprecedent ed in length and attended by many circ*mstances unexampled in the history of similar proceedings in this country the Star Route defendants have been acquitted by a jury whose honesty will not be seriously ques tioned However various may be the opinions of the people on any or all the points involved there are none except those whose interest was prompted by protraction who will not be heartily glad that the curtain has been rung down on a drama that had ceased to interest the public and had come to be re garded among those evils which can not be described as afflic It will be remembered that after months of preparation and after the PjUbVc'ihTnct Tiad 'ni'olflfU' fident predictions of a clear case and prompt action the prosecution start ed on a course that had to be aban doned The attempt to dispense with the formality of indictments and to proceed by information con sumed many weeks and cost an enormous outlay of money It would seem that with all the resources at its command the Department of Justice should have been able to de cide whether or not such a course was open The verdict of was a genuine surprise to every one except the defendants and their friends all of whom have for weeks past been confident in expressing the opinion that the jury would acquit When the trial commenced there were few who anticipated other than convic tion but as it dragged its slow length along the opinion was modified un til for a long time past not even the prosecuting counsel hoped for so much But a jury was what was anticipated except as above re marked by those personally interest ed and who seem to have had infor mation not accessible to outsiders The defendants and their friends were on hand in force when the jury came in and rendered their verdict and the scene that ensued was ex citing and dramatic One of the learned counsel for the defense start ed the hurrah and was about jump ing upon the counsel table when he seemed to remember himself An other Col Ingersoll turned around and kissed his own wife who hap pened to be sitting by him Anoth er one of the defendants sobbed gen uine tears which came so fast that he could not wipe them off with his handkerchief and another smiled while John Dorsey was appar ently as unconcerned as if it was a matter in which he had not the least interest and Gen Brady flushed and paled by turns The defendants were all surrounded by their friends and overwhelmed with congratula tions They were cheered lustily in the Court House and again as they emerged and went across the street for refreshments The two devoted women Mrs Dorsey and Mrs Peck who have been constant attendants alternately smiled and clapped their delicate hands and Mrs Dorsey de clared she must not leave

Republicans had laid their plans to capture the Pro hibitionists with a prohibition amendment to the Constitution but the Prohibitionists declined to be caught with the bait offered Republican alsehoods The Republican papers are doing a good deal of lying about Messrs Hendricks and McDonald in en deavoring to make it appear that these gentlemen are personal ene mies because of their Presidential aspirations Last week the Indian apolis Journal had a Lit of swash in regard to McDonald and Hendricks being seated together at a banquet given to a Georgia military company that visited Indianapolis and that they did not speak to each other This stuff was also telegraphed to Eastern papers and a great ado made over it Of course there was not a word of truth in these statements A correspondent of the Cincinnati News Journal called on I lendricks and Mc Donald and the following is what they hail to say on the subject: Mr Hendricks asked the reporter is this talk about McDonald and me about sitting next each other at the banquet to the Macon Volunteers? and not speaking to each other is just replied the re porter say what you did and it was even telegraphed all over the country with which reporter drew from his pocket one of the telegrams clipped from the New York Herald there be anything J11V1 I absurd exclaimed Mr Hendricks and continuing slowly is not the slightest truth in it It sure ly must be a love of lying for its own sake that would induce men to cir culate such a report as that I wish you would say that both gentlemen concerned deny it McDonald treat ed me with the utmost cordiality and I so treated him There was noth ing but the pleasantest intercourse Go ask The reporter went and found him communing with his after dinner cigar McDonald what about this report that you and Mr Hen dricks did not speak to each other at the is not a word of truth in replied Mr McDonald laugh ing I went there the first man I shook hands with was Mr Hendricks When we went to the supper room we passed in to the right and left and it was purely ac cidental that Mr Hendricks and I were seated side by side and so far from not speaking to each other we talked together so much about our private affairs that I became a little uneasy once for fear we were neg lecting our guests My relations with Nir Hendricks have been and are of the most cordial Comments of the New York Press on the Verdict New York June 15 The Times says: verdict of the Star Route jury is one that will give com fort and encouragement to all who think it is no sin to steal

of acquittal in the Star Route trial yesterday While nobody confident ly expected conviction most people thought there would be a disagree ment Probably not one in a thou sand who followed the report
