Tee Seat Lock Bosinass.—A Washington special to the New York Tribune says: The Secretary of the ‘Treasury has beon engaged for severs! months past in the investigation of the seal lock business. From tacts broaght to hia attention he early became convinced that much fraud was connected with its adoption and subsequent use. The first steps taken to ward examining the matter revealed ths fact that @ good part of the papers connected with the exse had been abstracted from the files and cut out of letter books. ‘This of conree increased the Secretary’s suspicions, and inquiry into the subject has been pushed with vigor. Some of the principal parties to these transaction sre known, acd some of them are prom: nent perrons. Arrests of some of these ma expected as soon as the evidence evilected de pat in proper shape.

Editor of The Star: Dear Sir,—Had 1 known that the statement, or petition as it is called, which appeared in your paper of the 23d inst., and to which my name was attached, was to be published, I should have asked you to state, in explanation, ‘hat when that statement was prepared the pro- ject of placing this District under the Execu- tive departments of the United States govera- ment was not thought of by the person or pers sons who drew up that paper; and I feel justified in avding that, had it been Known or supposed that the committee of Congress having this matter M charge had iti view to recommend such plan, the statement would have been drawn favoring the same, or the plan of Com- missioners, a Congress in its wisiom might de- termine to adopt ove or the other. Tue point upon which the greater stress was laid—the all- imyortant point, in fact, as I understand it, was and is that there should be no restoration of suffrage in this District. In this desire I can- not doubt that, a8 qualificd suffrage is probably out of the quest nearly wil are heartily ur I understand the: several other lists like the one above referred to, and Lhope you will obtain and pablish all of them. They have all been sigued without tistinction of party; and this us a= it should be, for we want no partisan organization tu afisire of this District. Very respectfully, Waehington, Nov Hogario Kixa.

Goss, indicted for perjury in the United States district court, set down for trial aweek from to-day, December 2. This case will involve the production of all the proot that was adduced in the trial of the late Wm. E. Ud- derzook at West Chester, Pa. The jury in the imeurance trial in May, 1873, rendered a ver- dict in favor of Mrs. Goss, thereby showing that in their judgment Winfield S. Goss was barned up in the fire on the York road. The jary in the trial at West Chester convicted Udderzook of the murler of Gosa, and now the same issue will be a tried. Udderzook having died with bis lips sealed, the questions still in the courts are, who killed W. 8S. Goss, aud how many individuals of that name there are. it would seem this romance of crime will never erd. The insurance companies who ins 2 the life of W. 8.

TRIAL FOR CONSPIRACY. Mr. Riddie Closes, CHARGE OF JUDGE BUMPHREYS. THINTIETH DAY. Yesterday, in the Criminal Court, Jadge Humphreys, the trial of Hiram ©. Whitley, Richard Harrington, and Arthur B. Wiiliame, charged with conspiracy In connection with the alleged safe burglary in the District Attorney's office, was continued, and after recess Mr. Rid- dle resamed his argument, and concluded his review of the testimony of Hayes. He then returned to Harrington, alluding to the visit of Williams to Harrington's house while Riebards and Clarvoe were there, a: the preparations on Richards’ mind about what was to transpire on that night. He alluded to what be termed the remarkable statement of Harrington on Satarday last, and said Harring- ton stated he had not the remotest idea that a fe fer that very purpose, and Billy Ev he unlocked the safe to allow him to # evidence was introduced to show t Harrington could not open the safe, but it shows he opened the safe to allow Harrington to put Evans’ books in again. Mr. Riddle followed the case up to the arrest, and said that Harrington was there to witness the carrying out of his own conspiracy. He went into the darkness of that night in all his manliness and beauty to the outside world av honest man, and the next morning emerged to the world covered with the pall of darkness, suspicion and accusation, to use his own words. I will not allude to that point where his stom- ach refused to retain the food that should have nourished him into strength; bat for the prae ent we will leave him and retarn to Zirruth. Mr. Riddle then reviewed the course of Zicrath and Madge, At four o’clock the Court was adjourned till to-day. To day's Proceedings. This morning the trial was resumed. Th court reom was crowded to overflowing. Mr. Riddle resumed bis argument at ono and eatd the defence made a mistake yesterday in stating that Dart was sent by the sulic- tor; he was not inthe employ of the depart- ment. They had shown that Hayes and Zir- ‘uth were paid sums of money by Nettlesb:p, and the defence asked why the vouchers h not been produced. They had prodaced vouchers in De Lomer’s name after it was shown that he had been dismissed, and one of those vouchers was wonderfully similar In amount to the sums paid Hayes. He read the lispatch of the Solicitor to look ap Hayes, and Whitley’s answer that he would do his best. And on the same day he sends to the Sulict or for 4 wsarant for Hayes, and a telegram to Hayee at Toronto 'that be would be there ina day or two. The call for the warrant was to give them a few days time. For why should Writley say he woulddo his best when he knew chat Hayes was in Toronto, Nettleship did go to see Hayes, and here is the dispatch: *Secar ‘ties good; Invest.” Whivey asked for time and N. gees to Canada to procure an aifidevs He then referred to the testimony of Apple gate as to the explanation of thé “securities good” telegram, and to the letter of Whit!<; to Newcom» that he had beard that H. was in Canada, and to N. going there, and asked: How Nid Whitiey find out that Hayes was ia Canada if the telegram did uot give him the informa- tion? ‘This telegram was the key which hed been agreed on to give the information that Hayee had agreed to make the aflidavit. New- comb did net swear before the committee that had snown Hayes the whole of this confiden- tial letter, but a part of it. Mr. Davidge.—Is that in; did yon prave it? Mr, Riddle.—Yes, it is in. a Davidge usseried that it had not been shown. Mr. Kiddie asserted that ho had put in so much of the testimony of Newcomb as to show 1. Davidge—Wi your honor settle it? Mr. Kiddie.—It ts already settled. ‘The Court.— Well, go on with the argament Mr. Riddle resumed, and, referring to the telegram in which Hayes says he has mate a full afidavit to Lawyer S., said that Whitley knew who Lawyer S. was. Wahitiey did not telegraph to the chairman of the committee aul five days after he had the1nformation, and in the meantime he bad sent two of his agents to Canada, who were unsuccessfal. Mr. Riddle argued that Hoyes was in Canada tn pursuance of au arrangement with the secret service. He referred to the standing order of the service ea,” and yet there is proof that the that service eaw him, wok missages from him and delivered them) and made no effort to arrest him. Hayes then went to Nettleship’s bouse—a house of mourn- d received @#@ from him. He (N.) had ssid thut he paid this money to send a thief to Washington. Mr. Riddle argued that Nettie- sbip paid the money to Hayes to leave the country, but he disappointed them by coming Washington, communicating with Downs, and going voluntarily before the committee. He did tot dare to speak separetely asto A.B. Williams; after what bad been said on Satar- day there was but little docbt if Harrington was in it, Willlams was. It took two tnter- views with Benton to decline to act ashis coun- sel. They had shown that A. B. had passed some wen disguised in the depot, and were met by the prosecution of a witness who says he was the party, but this party does not at all correspond with the description of the man who went Into the depot from thehack. Taey haa shown that he followed the eseaped burglar, and was there avy doubt but that he overtook lum. He was neither disappointed with A. He had expe hat a thief would hat guton the stand who would swear that the party who wrote the anonymous le called attention to the fact that Benton was in jail under seven indictments, and yet there was no trial. Harrington feared to bring him to trialas he did It was admitted that Harrivgton had an ‘interview with Hayes in jail. Something bad been said about be (Mr. dle) having received a fee. fr. Harrington —I have never that is a personal matter between y Mr. Kiddle said that perhaps it w: record, and proceed wag said about his gin, and that he had advise before the graud jury. He then referrad to the release of Benton, urging that Harrington hid authority to act in the case than a ja- one word had been ssid to his supe- ver, the Attorney General, or Lis sssoct- his ofice. Judge Wylie was in town— they uot go to him? They went to in, and he (Judge 0.) says that they were at big house some time in the morning. Why was not the bat! taken in the day time? Why not bave telegraphed tohim? Tais was a portion of the programme—the man escape in just this way, and he vanis just as effectually as did the missing Wil- \ioms st the bidding of A. B. Wiltiama. They Lad shewn that the crime was not « burglary or larceny but a conspiracy; was not arrange New York nor Baltimore; that the object was to defame the name of Columbus Alexander; that while Hayes was stipulating for the delivering of the books to Alexander, Harrington was arranging the books in the safe; that Harrington did 40 exactly what 8 necessary to further the “4 mplatned; and L. not ta the to state that something before the grand jury, that he should not go was to col to thelr duty.

The main fact for you to find—connerting al! the facts given to you im evidence—is has It deen proved to your satisfaction, beyond a rea- sonabie doubt, that the defendants or avy two of them or elther of them on trisl and some oue else, whether on trial or not, if charged in the indictment to be guilty, has been guilty of a violation of law, as that law shall be explained to you in this charge. Remember that the pun ‘shment is lett to another departument of ont ot- ganization. The law restricts that part of the organization to @ punishment commensurate with the oftence, and does not permit cruel or uvarual visitations, either in corporal impos! tions, or excessive fines. Of this you are not to consider; you are not to determine whether a petton is to be elevated or lowered, but what tacte do you find to exirt in the case before you.

You Lave a serious business in your hands, | chat of ascertaining from the evidence if it i provable, beyond @ rearouable doubt, that the | charge is true as to all these defendants or as to | any two of them on trial, or any one of them ou trial, and one OF more charged in the indict- went. ‘Thelawsays that it requires two or more | persons to be found ia combination to cousti- | tate a conspiracy. Sofaras the present case qoes the charge, in law, amounts toa high mis- demeanor. Bearin mini that you are to find uf the facts prove beyond @ reasonable doubt, eae charged have bauded them: together for the purpose of Coleg that which the law forbids. Toruin the reputation of another falsely is an offence agaiust seciety. Toat which would be a libel if dose by one pergon would be con- spiracy ifdone by two or more persons. Tas fact is not controverted that the safe of the district attorney's office was opened on the night of the 234 of April, 1574, by some one or mcre pergon or persons. ‘To have charged Go- lumbus Alexander—if the charge bad been snade by a single person—was instramental in procuring the deed would have been libelous if ithad been untrue. For two or more persous tocombine and confederate t ake the charze would be @ conspiracy to defame if the charge wasuntroe. Libel or slander is susceptible of dircet proot.

There has ved was born, lived and died without sin aed corruption. This, the laws under which you live, recognize ag the Condition of haman affairs Hence those Jaws require that a jury judge shall try matters that come 4.n by humab nature aud human character ng they exist. Government must punish the flagrant viols- ions of tis ruies, aitboagh tbe same persons who ilict the rules are nothing but misbehavi bemselves, Human nature is not sunk so low hat it may not aspire to something of a no idea than a comb.nation among men to do that which will ruin and debase y by the ruin of tue individuals of that society. These defendauts are entitled, and each one ig entitied to have the law aad the whole law in their case spplicable to all and to each one given in charge to this jury. So is the govern ment thas entitled. Although they are charged ia the indictment as having acted in concert, one performing one part, and another perform ‘Dg another part im the drama, you must find from the evidence that the combination existe 4, and you must find It from evidence onteide and independent of the deciarations of eltuer one of the persons charged before you can take the declarations of eltuer to operate against the other. The declaration or confession of either one is the best evidence against himself. It sioes not become evidence against any one else until the facts and circumstauces of the case have shown to the jury that a combination has | been formed between the confessing party and | the other or others implicated by the confession. | Let us endeavor to make this proposition #0 | plain thet you cannot fail to understand it fully. | Because one of the persons accusad has said that another was concerned in tue matter, this | !s no evidence of the fact unless the testimony | has first established is your mind beyond 4 rea sonsbie doubt that apart from that confession there is proof enough ty show that those imptt- cated in the confee-ion did jolo together for the purpore of perpetrating the wrong. When you are thus estistied beyond « reason- abie doubt, if you should bo #0 satisfied, then each becomes responsible for the acts of the | other to accomplish the common purpose, aud | tor the declarations of each other going to es- | tablisk the main fact of guilty or not guilty. Thusthe acts of Harrington, A. B. Netilesbip, Hayes and Zirrath here in Wash. ington, aud the declaration of each as ast himseli—that is, if any two of them,or more | than two, made such declarations a8 satisfies you beyond a reasonable doubt that they were coufederated together, and the acts of Wait'ey snd Cunz and Hayes avd Nettlesbip in New York taken in convection with the acts of the parties named here in Washington, shall sat- | isfy your mind beyond a reasonable doubt that ail or any two of them, or more than two, were guilty—and you must ascertain bow many, if aby, and who of them it was—of combining to | falsely implicate Colambus Alexander in a plot to rob the safe in question, then you will be aa- to take Geclarations and acts a thas find to be son.
