ANNUAL REPORT OF THE SIGNAL SERVICE.—Gen- eral Hazen has submitted his annual report to Sec- retary Lincoln. There has been during the year further progress and accuracy of prediction. ‘The forecasts made in the interests of cotton growers were of very great value. The total number of stations of observation in operation June 90, 1881, within the territory of the United States and maintained for the signal service was 296. rts are also received from seventy additional stations established by the authorities of the dominion of Canada, also from.one at St. John’s, New Found- land, and one at York Factory, British America. The average cost of maintaining each full station of observation during the year, exclusive of the cost of telegraphing reports and the pay and main- tenance of the enlisted men on duty at each, has been $336.73, a decrease since the preceding year of $45.55 per station.

Argument on the Motion to Quash the Information, In anticipation of a grand sparring scene be- tween the counsel representing the government and the defendants in the star route cases, the Criminal Court room, at an early hour this morn- Ing, was crowded with spectators. At 10 o'clock Messrs, Shellabarger, Wi!son, Totten and Ingersoll, representing the defense, and Messrs. Cook, Bliss, Brewster and Corkhill, representing the govern- ment, came into court. Just previously to their arrival a couple of young men came in with satchels filled with books, and after they were all seated young Camp, the librarian of the Bar Assoctation and his assistant made frequent journeys from the Mbrary to the court room with innumerable vol- umes containing the laws which are to settle one way or the other the question before the court—a motion to quash the information which was filed some weeks ago by the attorneys representing the government for the purpose of saving the statute of Umitations. Mr. Wilson remarked briefly that the Informa- tion had been filed and bench warrants ordered; they had made a motion to rescind the order by which the paper had been permitted to be filed; in support filing the affidavits of three of the defen- dants—Messrs. Brady, French and Tanner. He said that there could be no authority found for filing this paper and challenged the counsel to produce it. He said {t would be needless for him to recount the outrages that were perpetrated by these means. It was odious in the land of its origin; that the formation of the government under which we live ‘was grand; it was that the people should be pro- tected in the rights of property and person; that no man’s right of liberty should be subject to arbl- trary power; that that was the life and soul of our power; one man’s power!s only mentioned here as an offence, and the shadow of such a proceeding should not be cast over any one. He said that this implement of crime should not be found in this new order of things; that it was proper only where that form of proceeding was expressly au- thorized by statute. ‘This District was ceded to the United States in 1801, and by act of Congress _the laws and usages of Maryland prior to that date were made the laws of the District, except what was providea by Con- gress, and during that elghty years not a single Ease has been found in whieh a prosecution by ine formation was attempted, except in minor offences 4m the Police Court, which is done by express atute. In this Jurisdiction, where we are summoned to appear, a proceeding such as we are now called upon to answer has been wholly unknown for more than a century and a half, and he challenged his learned friends on the other side to. show him that any such proceeding had been had in this jurisdic- ton In that time, and he called their attention and the court’s attention to Tayloe vs. Thompson, 5 Peters, a case having reference to property, sho ing wlere the right to proceed by {nformation ex- isted. He sald if 1 ever existed in Maryland it long since abandoned. That if eighty years was sufictent to fix the tenure and right of prop- erty, one hundred and flity years ought to be some- thing in the way of securing a man in his rights of bert; He said the wit of man could not devise a scheme more {n consonance with the rights of society and the rights of a citizen. He then read from an opinion of Justice Field’s in Second Sawyer, 1 support of his position, He desired to repeat that the grand jury would not be dispensed with for this arbitrary power. He sald that the crime ot treason was Tare In this country, and that if this proceeding can be followed from this time forth the rand jury can be dispensed with. If you say the istrict attorney can ignore the graid jury and come forward without the grand jury and proceed by information in the great number of cases which come to the attention of this court, then the occu- ation of the grand jury will be gone. hat if he has the right in this sense it cannot be dented in’ any other. He sald tat nobody would pretend that such a proceeding can prevail in this country; that the Iourth article of the Constitution made’ that m- possible, which section he He sald that since that time no Attorney General, no district attorney, no special district attorney, no combination of law= Yers, no anybody can, on his or their own discre- tion or responsibility, present to this, or any other court in this country, an information. ‘There must be accompanying 1t’an oath or affirtastion that must show probable cause; and as to what probable use was, he would shortiy show. He said there as one feature of the common law that bas never and while the Constitution stands, can have a foot-hold in the jurisdiction of this country. “This proceeding by information,” said he, “was such an oppression that in 1693, in the 4th of Wil- lam and Mary, an act was passed to prevent ma- Mclous informations In. the court of king’s bench,” and he then read the 6th section of that act. He sald that the defendant must prove his entire innocence of everything imputed to him, and the secution must produce to the court such legal evidence of the offense having been committed by the defendant as would warrant the grand jury in Dnding a true bill against tue defendant, other- wise the prosecution Would be left to his ordinary remedy by action or indictment. ‘Then he read from 2 Gallison, section 865. In that case an in- dictnent had been found against a party, and there was a motion made to quash that indictment, because a party — had been induced to go before the grand jury in some way, and his testimony was taken without oath. “That,” he sald, “is an lnstructive case to those who argue thls'case in the news- papers. I saw it stated very gravely in a news- paper coming from New York, a few days ago, (It ‘Was one of those paragraphs ‘that was rasping up my friend, the district attorney of this court), in- sisting that there must be some great dereliction of duty in this court, because in a certain other which I will not mention, somebody has been ering to prevent the grand jury finding an in- ment, unless there was some evidence brought before thé grand Jury, and absolutely they have got to complaining of this court and of this furisdic- tion and its officers because indictments are not found by grand juries without testimony. That case, in View of all that, might ve instructive, Judge Story of course in his day did not know half as much as a newspaper editor knows in this day about law; he could not know; he lived a long time ago.”" He then referred to the case of the United States against Maxwell, 8d of Dillon, where the defendant violated the revenue law, stating that the court would hear agreat deal of that case be- fore the discussion was closed. Having read the affidavit of the Postmaster General, he referred to those employed by the Department of Justice looking around and about for evidence against the defendants, and when asked what ey were looking for, they responded that they were looking for a penftentiary. He sald they were informed that there was not a penitentiary ‘hin a thousand miles of the evidence they had against the defendants. He asked the court it tmaster General James was to be treated as the grand Inquest of one. | “No,” said he, “Your honor is to the grand inquest. These docu- ments are to be brought before cour honor for your examination. at is the law.” He then spoke Of the information by which the govern- ment were trying to proceed against he ee ces the Leven lr i that m io @ newspaper indictment u ot Witch there have been several, or it might ds for a political movement, but it would not do for a Tombs court. Judge Snell would not allow that in his court. Having cited several authorities he re- ferred to a case in the 15th of Blatchford, — where aman by the name of Coleman, on one oj the days set for the registration of voters in New York, unlawfully used a certificate of citizenship of the superior court of the city of New York show- him to be a citizen, he knowing the certificate to have been unlawfully issued or made. He said that “the man who drew that affidavit was not as prolific in adjectives and adverbsias the gentlemen who drew this remarkable paper which we are now considering, for I consider that the gentlemen who drew this paper are the champion adverb and adjective slingers in this country,” but he alleged ‘that this thing was unlawfully done. ‘After the noon recess Of the court Mr. Wilson was ‘with his argument, when Col. Bliss sald: “If it please the court, we desire not to be estopped if we do not now take exception to what we suppose to be matters of law. That is, i qentens on the other side are doing anything form or tee (t alleges: they must demur upon form or fac’ es, they mi 4 the record and admit these facts. Ido not desire to stop these gentlemen, but I simply wish to no- him that we took that position.” i Court.—It seems to me that there was some- thing that struck me as a plea in general issue. Mr. Wilsor.—I desire it to be distinctly under- stood, so far as I am concerned, that the gentle- men on the other side ot waiving whatever. But i a 1 By PEE aa Ae itp to come with clean hands, washed not, in invisible soap in imperceptible water; that the defense wanted no no ‘broadening of the phylacteris; they wanted the truth, and that the representatives of the ment had covered up, “Suppose,” he said, “that the district attorney should come here on an information and attempt toarraign the legislative branch of this govern- ment,for acts that ‘they had passed in the "discharge of their duty, and in passing the Very appropriation witch these gentlemen are talking about here. If you say hey can do {t in this case, say that this principle can be maintained, every Member and Senator who voted for that Dill could be arraigned. It cannot be maintained. This government 18 S0 constructed that it has three = c0- ordinate branches, each — equal, but 1n- dependent of the other; and your’ honor has no more right to try an executive officer, or a Sen- ator, or a Representative, or a Speaker of the Houke of Representatives for acts done by them in the discharge of their legal duties than you have to try the Chief Justice of this court. The princi- ple, he said, must be the same, and Mr. Horton sald the principle fs the same. "He then argued that 1t was not in the power of the court to. deter- Inine what is a fraud; that if a party conspires to do an act and the court may determine that that 18 a fraud, it 1s the judiciary that defines the crime, and not the legislative authority; that the court’ could not define the crime, and for this Teason it would be impossible ‘to say what the varying views of the different judges would be; that that which might be considered a fraud by hls honor might not be a fraud in the eyes of a judze a hundred miles away; the conspiracy would be in the one instance held to bea crime and in the other wholly inoffensive; the whole thing depend- ing upon the idea of thé judge as to what consti- tutes a fraud. ‘The Court.—Why may not a man perpetrate a civil fraud upon the United States? Mr. Wilson.—For the reason that Iam arguing that the statute must show that. There can be no offence except something that is defined by law, defined by statute. When you say a civil traud have not made it any more certain than if You use any other general term. ‘The criminal law must be certain.” He then took the ground, and read numerous authorities to sustain his post: tion, that the doctrine of the American courts is that an indictment must inform the defendant of the nature of the crime. Having reached the third count, he character- ized it as a most wonderful count. He claimed that it was necessary for the prosecution to show, not only that there was an offence against the United States; it was not enough to say that what was done was unlawful, that {t was corrupt, but’the facts must be shown. He said they had cl arged that the service was in- creased; but that was lawful; that a calculation ‘Was made for the purpose of fixing the pay; but that was lawiul. “They have not shown any- thing,” said he, “which makes these things unlaw- ful. “Our client went to the city of New York! It is the worst case I ever saw. (Laughter.) You get him out of that If you can. [Laughte J “ There is a little worse case than that. Ihave aclientin this case by the name of Turner. He had been making figures for that department in an obscure room fora good many years, hobpling around there on one leg. Turner conspired and con- federated, and was engaged in all of this conspirac: He drops out of sight; and after awhile he bobs uP, serenely in this case, and what do you think he did? He made a calculation! (Laughter.) He made a calculation upon which the pay was fixed, which was his duty as a clerk. That is what he did; and itis in the records, the very figures that he made in the records in this case, Made according to the principles and the ‘construction of _ the law, ‘and the regulations that have been revailing there, I almost said before ‘urner was born, certainly before he had anything to do with the department. Now, he turns up anc makes his calculation, and our learned friends let Turner go, and he disappears from sight, and that is the last you hear from him. Now, I would like to know how your honor fs to say, when they aver nothing but that, that this was a fraud, or could work a fraud upon the government of the United States. They must show something which they have not shown.” He sald they have charged that our client went w York, and that Walsh was the only man who got any money. “and he did not conspire,” satd Mr. Ingersoll. Mr. Wilson.—No; he did not conspire. This ts the most singular ‘conspiracy Iever heard of, a conspiracy to defraud the government of the Uni- ted States for the benefit of Walsh! [Laughter.] Having read a number of eaten Mr. Wilson closed, by saying that “aside frora the common law rule,we have here two statutes in this District which have made this charge infamous, and hence this proceeding by information cannot be permit- After Mr. Wilson finished his argument, there Was some discussion between Mr. Ingersoll and Mr. Bliss as to the position that Mr. In soll was ro take, represcuting the defendant Brown. After Mr. Ingersoll had, with bis superior wit, stated, as he termed it, a general outline of what he was going tosay in behalf of Brown, not referring to a single authority, Col. Cook, with a very long face, arose and sai “Have you any authorities bearing on what you have stated?” ‘This created quite a laugh, Inasmuch as Mr. Ingersoll had adverted to nothing but what are treated as facts in the information. ‘TREASURER GILFILLAN to-day submitted his an- nual report to the Secretary of the Treasury.

Mr. Elmer has examined a number of witnosses, nearly all of whom were unwilling to testify. The others had no knowledge in the matter, and there- fore could not testify. Mr. Elmer yesterday had commenced the preparation of a report to the Sec- retary of the Treasury, that, owing to the incom- plete character of the testimony, he would not make any recommendations in the case whatever. But Mr. Lazenby appeared on the scene and stated that he had been sick and unable to appear or se cure the appearance of the proper withesses in the case. He asked for further time and promised to bring forward festimony in support of his charges. He was grantéd time, and is expected to produce evidence to-morrow.’ Until _he and_his witnesses are heard, Mr. Elmer will withhold his report. seer sehen The Market ‘Troubles. THE SALE OF STALLS TEMPORARILY RESTRAINED— PROCEEDINGS IN THE MARKET THIS MORN! A SUIT FOR AN INJUNCTION, A flag of red—a color which seems to be quite 28 obnoxious to the market butchers as to the bulls that are brought to their pens—floated this morn- | ing from one of the corner entrances of the east wing of the Washington market house. Inside of | the market house, however, there was no unusual manifestation of any kind. Upstairs Mr. Market | Clerk Smith was quietly pouring over his books, “The sale will probably be postponed for a week,” he said to a Sran_— reporter. “There are some conferences going on, and we will wait until they are over.” “When the reporter returned later, Mr. Emery, the presi- dent of the market. company ewith Mr. Smith, and together they Were consulting over some legal document. restraining order has been served on the compiny, sald way of explanation to the ‘reporter, “and ‘the sale will therefore be postponed.” A. little before noon Auctioneer Dowling _arriv and promptly at midday Auctioneer Dow: ling and Clerk Smith, With Tne Sran re- porter, made their way dowrf the eastern aisle of the'market to the atiction stand. Some of the dealers set _upa shout—half fn fun, half In de- rision—when Mr. Dowling, jumpiniz upon the stand, pounded on it with his umbrella. When a | few of the dealers had assembled Mr. Dowling Said:—In consequence of an order from the court Tied out, “Is that the ‘st you | ‘Isn't that enough?” replied Mr. Dow- ling, laughing. He then thanked the crowd for | their attendance, and jumping down from his bench put an end to the proceedings, AN INJUNCTION SUIT. This morning, Messrs Elliot J. Robinson, A. 8. Worthington, and Glen W. Cooper, for Timothy Daly, Henry Engle, John J. Magee and John C. Baker, filed a bill against the Washington market. company for an injunction against the sale of stalls, in which Judge Wylie granted a temporary restraining order returnable on the Mth instant. ‘The complainants represent 1134 stalls in the market (butter, butcher,bacon, huckster and mis- cellaneous, one of each c the defendant pro- pose to sell under advertisement of October, 1881,) and the Dill recites the postponement of such sale until to-day. They represent. that the company — prop 1 to sell the good will of the complainants in said stalls without provid- ing any compensation, and charge that the pro- posal to sell the choice of stalls isin violation of the charter and deprives them of the privilege of selecting their own stalls and preserving the good will which they have established in their respec- tive lines. They quote from the charter the pro- vision that the compan: ith the consent of the mayor and aldermen of the city of Washington, may fix a maximum rate of bids at such sale,” and. say the proposed sale can only be made in con- formity with this provision. They submit that there 1s no public body to co- operate with sald company in fixing the rates, yet the company has assumed to fix such rate in direct violation of the charter. They aver that the company presented to the Commissioners aschedule of minimum rates at which they pro- posed to sell, which was rejected, and this sched- ule amounts to about $80,000. They also aver that the second section of the charter authorizes the sale of stalls subject to the payment of an annual rental fixed by the mayor and common council and the directors, and charge that the annual rentals mentioned in the advertisements, &., were not so fixed, nor have they been ‘fixed or agreed | tpon since the = mayor and council ceased to exist. They therefore ob- Ject to the sale of sald stalls subject to such rent ‘until it ts fixed by competent authority, and they state that they believe that none of the other present holders have given such assent. They aver that there are between two and three hun- dred dealers interested in the market, who will be affected by the proposed sale. They aver that only $100,000, or ten per cent. of the capital stock, 4s paid in; that the sale in 1872 realized $60,000 and upwards, and the company has collected nomi- nally $60,000 per annum, or about $600,000 in the past nine nears, The rate at which they now Hy ose to sell the stalls ranges from $1.75 ‘Oo 50 ee square foot, or more than the as- sessed jue of the land itself each year; and “that the rents so unlawfully prescribed and intended by said company to be Imposed on these complain- ants and ail others similarly situated, are not only unlawful but grossly exorbitant and unjust.” ‘They ask an injunction against the sale on the terms prescribed, 2 The Case of Guitean. AMOTION AS TO GUITEAU’S PAPERS—FURTHER TIME ASKED. This morning in the Criminal Court, Judge Cox, immediately after the opening and before the ar- gument in the star route cases were commenced, Mr. Leigh Robinson, the associate with Scoville as counsel for defence, came into court. Mr. Robin- son sald that he had given notice to the District Attorney yesterday that he would this morning make a motion tn the case of Guiteau. There were certain letters, papers and newspaper scraps, and the pistol, which were taken from the prisoner Guiteau at or about the time of his arrest, in the ion of the District Attorney. Mr. Scoville Ridendeavored to gain sccess to them ‘and nd been denied. A communication written by the risoner since his arraignment addressed to Mr. wile, Was also in the District Attorney's hands. Mr. Robinson referred to sections 408 to 44 R.8., relati to the District, as to the duties of the rope! clerk of the ice, and said that under ese scctions the rs should have been im the charge of that officer.
