Gentlemen:—The following, clipped from tha EVENING StTaR, I assume to be a correct state- ment of the present situation andof the dis- ition of the government tn the matter of 6 prosecution of the alleged unlawful tices which many of the newspapers of the country have during the past two or three months daily ch: me with committing during my recent official term as Second As- sistant Postmaster General: Gel i: {The article ‘quoted trom Tue Stak stated that the star ronte cases would be postponed until September for reasons set forth. } To this disposition of the matter I do most earnestly and energetically protest. If there are any charges to be presented against me before a legal tribunal for alleged misconduct while in office I desire that proceedings be promptly instituted in order that I may have 4n opportunity to sppear and vindicate myself therefrom. For many weeks the country has been furnished with dispatches and correspondence from Washington to man- ufacture ‘common rumor” to the effect that the government was fully prepared upon‘em~ panelling of a new grand jury (which was completed to-day) and the jurors qualified to preerale testimony, which result is an indictment against me, to be by a trial before the petit jury drawn ahd qualified at the same tlme; and my con- vietion before the latter body has been assured 88 & Certain result to follow the presentation of the testimony, which bas been industriously circulated that the government has already accumulated.

Knowing my entire innocence of the charges, which these disreputabie persons desire me to be suspected gui ty of, I consider it my Tegal Tight to be speedily investigated by a reputable and properly empannelled grand jury. It isa hardship approaching crueity, and Ukely to work LOA ape injury, that thegovernment. authorities should permit three or four trre- sponsible detectives, who appear to the public as betng intrusted with procurement of the Ke a case, to thus, dispatches and Pon enere daly sent out from the national capital to all quarters of the country, influ- ence public opinion and thereby to that de; unit the minds of fellow men fora fair and impartial trial of the case if one is to be pre- sented against me. A private individual who Would corrupt the sources of justice by use of the press or of money to convict a citizen of an alleged crime would render himself in- famous, This, if being done by the govern- ment. 1s no less base and certainly more repre- hensible.

Now, it your Honor please allow me tosay in behalt of my- self, in behalf of the Attorney General, and on behalf of my brother Corkhlil, and on behalt of the President of the United States, this: They occupy, at least the President and the At- torney General, high and dignified positions. ‘We attempt to act in harmony with them. The President of the United States has assumed this position, and it may be regarded as author- itative if that will be pleasing to my brothers to hear it that the investigation into supposed crime and offenses against the postal laws ot the United States must_be pursued carefully, Cautiously, apd eipieer & that no one must be presented to the gr jury for their con- sideration or Investigation only after the most Careful and thorough investigation tending to { sbow when it is completed that there has prob- ably been crime committed.

Must the repre- H sentatives of the law be hurried upon the im- - pulse and request of one on whom band of the law has not, up to this ig due to your honor to say, it is perhap3 due to myself to say, that weeks agol inquired what Ume your honor intended to take a recess apa Kei poearity discontinue the operations of the court, and I learned that it- would be about the first week in July. In doing that your honor did nothing extraordinary, but what my brother knows your honor has been accustomed to do had after year. That is all. AS a Consequence, it became necessary for ua to arrive at the conclusion that {t would not ‘be possible to follow, and in justice to persons. who maybe accused, to present any cas before the grand jury prior to September, nor could it be done. There ts a vast amount of record evicence, embraci:g at least three years, which requires time and patience to examine. Besides that, if your honor please, the charges of fraud, when you well under- stand them, exiend ail cver the country, will | reach down to Texas, will travel into New Mexico, will neirate Oregon, will reach California, and it wiil become necessary to | bring witnesses from ail these varied local- iues, In acdition to record evidence, Ir requires weeks to do that. It could not be done in a moment. None of those witnesses can be brought except upon regular and au- thoritative orders of court, Some of them are reluctant, exceeding reluctant, if our opinion 18 correct, so at the earlfest period it would not ve possible for us to proceed with the inveati- gation in the absence of testimony before the latter part of July.

MR. WILSON FOR GEN. BRADY. Mr, Jeremiuh Wilson, counsel for Gen. Brady, Said: “I beg the indulgence of the court for two or three minutes, that I may say a few Words In regard to this matter. If this werean ordinary case, I should feel it exceedingly ou: Of place to stand before your honor asking what We ask on this occasion. But it ig not an ordl- Dary case. Some months ago Gen. Brady, who Was 8 Man who, perhaps stood as high as any Other men in his walk of life in this country, ‘Was removed, as it is perfectly notorious to ali the country, from the position of sistant Postinaster General, which position he had held for pert and for the publicly avowed reason that he been quiity of gross viola- tons of his official duty, whereby the govern- ment of the United States had been defrauded Of large sums Of money. Now, if there is any thing that has been conspicuous in this country, witbin the last four or ilve months, that thing has been the most conspicuous of all. Bat not only that, your honor, it was given out, given out studibusly, given ‘out day by day, (rom the Tecords of the Post Office department that these crimes against the law had been committed by Gen. Brady. Following upon that, itis another Lotorious fact that the government of the United States, the ofiicials doubtless acting according to their notions of duty—(and Ido not impugn their motives upon this nor do { pro- prose at any time to do 80)—have pursued uau- Sual methods with regard to this matter. There are men, of whom I shall not 5; to allude to the fact, who we been ebgaged for months, men who are pretty well known in this community and elsewhere who have been at work preparing these cases, working up these cases for the purpose Of presenting them to the grand jury, {visa this ountry a ie blic pee ae “ais. country in ublic press, my Unguished friend, COL Cook, the great lawyer of the District of Columbia, has been employed by the government, and ‘has been sitting in g€cret council, holding star chamber proceed- ings cor the Purpose Of preparing a case against Gen. Thos, J. Brady. Now, it is idie for Col. Cook to stand in the Presence of this court and gay that there is no: any Ubing that anybody knows of azalnst Gon. Bragy, that there is no accusation agatnst him. I say it is idle, in the face of what is known to your honor; known to the grand jury, whose duty It 1s to Jook into it, known to all men and ail women and all children almost in the United States. It is idle for bim to say that there is Po accusation against Gen. Thomas J. Brady.
