If that wers so, of course tho information coull never have been Tigttly filed, Leave , OUGUT TO.

It had also beon claimed that conspiracy must be to do some act made criminal by 1 statute, and, aga, that the information was contradictory, and the crime alleged Impossible, Jkut nny dis- cusston of those points by hlm, he thought, would be gratultous, and he sald: “Nothing remains for me but to grant tho motion made by the. defendants, and order thelr dis- charge.” The court then adjournod.

Postinagter-General James will return from New York Saturday. BROWN'S IMUNITY, Gentlomen engaged in the proseention of the stur-route cases say the decision of Judge Cox today bars only on the ease against Brown, and that the others come inside the platute ‘of Ihultation, and that the cases against Brady, French, and othors hiiplicated, except Brown, will bo subinitted to a grand jury at tho first opportunity. TUN LAWYERS, A decision of First-Auditor Reynolds and First-Controlter Lawrence that service to the Government cannot properly be vaid for tu advance was rendered to answer a request of the attorneys engaged In prosecuting the Atar-ronte cages for retatners, for all these attorneys, IL Is said, made a demand for part of their pay. : THE PRESIDENT.

One who fs supposed to know, and who Is understood to hold Intimate relations to a anember of tho present Cablnet, says that the President has abandoned, if he ever enter- tatned, the Idea of making a Cabinet which shall embrace representatives of the difer- eut sections of the Repnblican party, Ie seems to have resolved to throw in his fort- unes with that portion of the party whieh Was tlefeated In Chleago, defeated in the Senate, and defeated in Now York, and to make what may be designated an out-and-out Grant Cabinet.

JUDGE MAYNEN'S RULING (in dechling a juror competent after he had stated that ho had an opinion, but that opin- fon would not pravent him from rendering a fair and Impartial verdict on tho cyl- dence adduced) was excepted to, and went -to the general term. ‘Tho ruling was sustatned in the goneral term, and doubtless will be the rule hore after, If tits rue fs followed It, of course, will not bo diflcult to secure a Jury, for, al- though tt would be impossible to find Intelll- gent Jurors who had not formed and express- ed oplutons with respect to President Gar field’s assnsinatton, doubtless twelve men can be secured who can say that, notwithstand- ing that, they will be able to give an Supar- tin] vérdicton the ovidence and law as to matics nnd insanity; but, in any avent, the task of securing 9 jury is likely to be pro- tracted, .

On this point strong medic] testimony will be ad- duced, and, as rebuttiig testimony will be bart of the defense, we may look for a battle of doctors, In the course uf which It is ex- pected SOME INTERESTING THEORIES will be stated-and tested touching tegal and meilical Insanity, and the Imits of the border- land between them and between both and mental health, If the defense have the requisite legal ability and the means, this discussion will prove very interesting and yalunblo asa contribution to medieat science, This will be putting Gulteau to somo little use, at lenst.
