As the ting for the trial of these cases draws near somo details are learned us to the program of the defense. Every one of the porsons Indicted, aunt all of those against whom, according to Tumor, it Is proposed to bring Indictinents, ara understood to confidently assert that the Government will be unable to make out any ense against them. Mr. Brady's Nne - of - defense in particular, It is suld, will be to show that ho not only was not guilty ot any illegal acts, but that every extenston of the postal service which he did order was ordered at the express Instance and with the written approval of ONE OR MORE MEMBERS OF CONGTESS, ariuy ofiicers, Cabinet oflicers, Governors of States und Territories, leading merehants, nid others, Mr, Brads, it is known, has preseryel every one of these letters, and thera {3 reason to think that there are fow members of Congress whose let- ters will not be produced by hin in defenss of some of the general nilugations to the star-route service, Lt fs claimed that, as to one of the routes whero the expedition was noteworthy, ho has the written recominendation of Gen, Sherman, .and oven of Secretary Schurz."

ROBERT INGERSOLL AUEAKR, Spectat Dispatch to The Chicago ‘Tribune Wasitnatoy, D, C,, Oct, 80.—Col. Robert Ingersall, referring to the romoval of Frank (illbert, suld todays i “LT understood that there was no oppost- ton to Gilbert's reappolatment. ‘The niatter was talked over 8 few weeks attor Garheld’s Inauguration, and [talked with Logan, Fare well, Aluvich, and [ helleve Representative Davis, nnd no one expressed an. oblectton to Qu the contrary, all sult they were pe vetly willing he: shoukt remain, A: durileld’s death nothing was said about Gil bert by supposed that his reappolut- nent would be’ agreeable to everybudy. Ife iy tc most oxcellont man, and has discharged the duties of ils ofice satisfactorily to the nerchants and businessmen of ‘Chicago and to the ‘Treasury Departinent. Presi. dent Arthur did not knew thet Gilbert wis avpalnted at wy solteltatlon, and was not Informed that L had any tuterest In the appolutinent one way or anothen Me was slinply told that another uppolntinent. should bo made, that the Senate was about to adjourn, anid that lt should be made at once. At svvins that THE PRESIDENT, 18 A FRMEND OF GEN, REV- EDGE and likes him, and was consequently willing toappolut him. Had the President known the eireuimstances £ am satisted that uo. change would tive been nude. [haya seen the President slice Lreturned, Aga iuatter Of fact, the commission of Gilbert did nat expire on Friday jist, and does not expire until Nov, 1. The reports ta the con: trary are incorrect, Whon I say that the” Presklent would not have dane as he did had ho understood the facts, 1 don’t mean to say that he did not understand ull about Beveridge, Nelther dot mean to say that the President had not and has not pertect comidence in Gen. Baverldge. Whit mean to gay is thas he would not have re- moved (Gilbert had be known all the facts. I think that the President will do justice so far ‘as My, Gilbert Is concerned. Ile cer tulnly aid not mean to reflect upon Gilbert, vat, AS A MATISER OF FACT, he did what he did under the impression that something uiist be done ut that time, as the Senute was about to ndjourn. , President Arthur asked ine if 1 knew Hoveridgy. 1 told hha that £ did, and that 1 had nothing against hi iu the world; that Lliked hhin; that I thought lie would make a good officer; and that J did not want to tear anybody down. ‘The President sald that he knew hin also very well, aud Uked blu, and that wen his name was suggested he liad no objections tu nike to hin.” P ‘Tho fact, as stated by Col. Ingersoll, that the commilsston of Frank: Gibert dit not ex- pire until Nov, 1 puts A SOMEWHAT DIFFERENT LIGHT UPON TIE MATTER, or, ut all events, does, not make it ap- pear that so much haste was neces- sary te put anew man in If Col. Ingersoll is not mistaken, Mr. Gltbert was temoved and Beverligu appointed dare ing. Gilbert’s unoxplred' term, If Gtlbert wants any other place It Is very Ikely that the President will give It to him. So much seems to have been intimated to Col, Inger- voll, When Gen, Beverldge enters upon his New office Mr, (iibert Is “expected here, and itis notimpossible that the systent of Super- visor in Chteago oMees may continue. At al events, itis certain that Gilbert was not removed for any cause, and that the Prest- dent did not give the appointment of his suc- ‘or as nich consideration ws te witl be usked hereafter to give to the Iederal ap polntinents in Chicago, : THE POTOMAC FLATS. THE QUESTION OF THEE RECLAMATION, Wasttnuton, D.C. Oct 30.—The reelnuia- ton of the Potomne Fiats Is made the sitb- Jeet of u report to the District Commission- ers by Lieut. Hoxie, of the’ Engineer Corps. ‘The Lieutenant says: “ Ureent need exists of inimediate attention to the outlets of sew- ers on the river front and the reclamation of the marshes through wiileh they must pass, ‘he elements ure siinple .and inexpensive. ‘The plans contempitte doe only what the river is doing lself, but tab slowly. Work is necessury tor the Improvement of the river channel, std the danger to the health of the residents of the District may be surely urged on Congress as an uruient against further: clay.” Lieut. Hoxie also Presents a plan con mptatiny the removal of steam railway tracks from the streets by-dunneling and ele- vated railway. ‘Tho cost of the changes ig estimated at $2,365,024 ‘The drainage and sewernge system and water supply are also considered and recommendations siibmitted, NOTES. INGERSOLL CLAIMS TO AVE LABELED, Spectat Dispatch to The Mhicago Tribune, Wasutnatox, D, C., Oct. 30.—Col. Nger- soll Intends to institute suit for libel against the Philadelphia Inquirer. Some time ago, when defending some whisky men in Chi- cago, he had something to say about the effects of whisky, Tla passage in which he dld this was an eloquent one, and was so good that It was appropriated by a temper- ance lecturer, ‘The same ‘lecturer took an- other passage froma preacher. ‘The plagiar- ism upon Ingersoll was detected, and both hisown and the preacher's paragraph are now belng charged to him by the press. lie jas written 300 letters Ina vain endeavor to set the matter right.
