Decision of Judge Wylic. THE APPLICATION FOR A BILL OF PARTICULARS OVERRULED, In the Criminal. Court, this morning, Judge Wylie gave his decision on the application in the case of 8. W. Dorsey, J. W. Dorsey and others, for a Dill of particulars in the indictment against them for conspiracy, in connection with star route contracts. Mr. R. T. Merrick stood singly and alone to represent the government, when the pro- ceedings opened, and Mr. Jere. Wilson the de- fendants, Later, Mr. George Bliss found his way into the court room and was followed by Col. R. G- Ingersoll. The judge, in announcing his decision, said that the decision of the Supreme Court of the United States In the case of Croixshank was so reasonable in Itself and such absolute authority in this court, that he would follow it so far as it led him, It the indictment for consptracy set forth a legal crime, it should set forth the means and show that these Means were criminal, or, In other words, {fa per- son was indicted for fraud and the indictment for fraud did not show the fraud, then the indictment Was bad. Where the legal offence was charged It was not necessary to set forth the overt act of a conspiracy. These, he thought, were the two doc- trines set forth in Croixshank, and they must fule the court. They had been followed when the mo- tion to quash was dectded inthe court. Section 5440 of the Revised Statutes of the United States, ‘80 far as offences against the government of the United States was concerned, introduced a new principle into the law, and then began the Croix- Shank case and required that_ some act should be done in pursuance of the conspiracy. It was in cases fitting within this statute necessary to show that some act was done by one or more of the con- splrators in carrying out the conspiracy. The Tule for the court for the present occaston was sec- tion 5440. The indictment. was altogether suffi- cient in charging acriminal offence against the United States, and the question was whether or not it was sufficient in setting out the acts that-were done by one or more of the alleged conspirators. ‘The Dill of particulars calls for certain acts claimed not to be Set out with sufficient clearness for the purpose of a criminal indictment. One of these acts 13 that one of these conspirators procured false and fictitious names to a petition and forwarded tt to the Post Office department for the furtherance of the conspiracy, without setting out in what re- fret it was false and forged. The court thought it was necessary to do that—if necessary to set it out with the precision and particularity of an in- dictment for forgery or libel. In that particular he thought the Indictment faulty. The indictment, however, did contain nu- merous acts alleged to have been done by the con- Spirators, in carrying out this conspiracy, clearly Set out, as required, and the question was whether the court should require the district attorney to furnish particulars of these fawity acts in the 1n- dictment when the indictment contains several acts by one or more of the conspirators clearly and fully set out; and the indictment was good if any one of the acts properly set out was sustained by proof. Should the case go to trial and no Dill of exceptions furnished, the court would refuse to Fece! ive testi ony on the points thus insufliciently set forth. Col. Ingersoll, interrupting, said: “That is sat- isfactory to me.” Judge Wyle, continuing, Tule the application fora bill of particulars, and hold that evidence could be submitted only to overt acts fully set forth in the indictment. He thought the allegations, to interpret which a bill of particulars was asked, were defective as acts done in pursuance of a conspiracy. ‘The range of Proof as to a conspiracy was wider and more Open than that based upon these overt acts, and ne a not see that a bill of particulars was MR. BLISS SAID the government would furnish to the other side, as speedily as they could be prepared, copies of aly Papers which they proposed tointroduce and make @ part of the trial, Mr. Merrick remarked that now that the court had overruled the motion they proposed to furnish the copies desired. MR. WILSON EXCEPTS TO THE RULING OF THR COURT. Mr. Wilson sald that they would be thankful for any papers sent them and give a receipt if re- quired, and sald he wished to except to the ruling of the court. He asked permisston to withdraw the plea of not guilty in te eas» of Turner and to enter a motion to quash in his case on substantl- ally the same grounds as the motions filed and overruled in other cases. Judge Wylie declined to take any action on these propositions, as Mr. Turner was not present in court, and by agreement further consideration Of the matter was postponed till Saturday. oe THE CONGREGATIONALISTS, Bald he should over- Last Evening’s Session at the Taberna- cle—Addrexses on Congregationalism im the South-The Preceedings ‘To- Day. - The New Jersey Congregational Association met atthe Tabernacle, South Washington, last even- ing, and there was a full house. After a solo by Miss Scott, with organ accompaniment by Prof. King, Rev. Mr. Foster, the moderator, made a brief Introductory address, The coronation hymn was sung with fine effect, and prayer was offered by Rev. R. B. Howell. The topic was * Con; a tionalisin Southward,” and Rev, Dr. W. W. Hicks, eed of the Tabernacle, was the first speaker. le Said that, as he understood it, Congregational- ism was Cristian aggression, and it was ona mission of conquest southward. ‘There 1s in the south both the need and opportunity for Congrega- Uionalism. Let it take up the cry, ‘on to Rich- mond,” crossing that zone whici’ hitherto has been @ sort of Chinese wall. It will grow rapidly, for there 1s a wonderful fertility in the south: Error grows there and more rapidly than else- where. “He had known a complete change in pub- le sentiment in twenty-four hours. He could un- derstand this change by the Methodist doctrine of INSTANTANEOUS CONVERSION, but did not quite understand 1t as a Congrega- Uonalist. In the south they will look on Congre- tionalism as a disturbance, but it would take root there If planted, and he prayed God that it may go through and through the south. Its mission is to awaken and readjust. Don’t go there as an abo- Utionist again. It had made one trip to destroy slavery; now ff should go as a readjuster. Congré- gationalism was common senge applied to church life and religious thi When the Christian church was organized they did not have a bishop, presiding elder, consistory nor vestry, but the lay evangelists went forth two and two, taking the 1 to the people. The church was founded on a spirit of brotherhood and fraternity, and for 200 years the primitive form of chureh existed, and It did not take its monarehgcal form ull it was Tuled by arrogance. The spin of ition- | alism docs not require aman to believe this doc- trine or that doctrine. It extended to every church of believers, and it places on man’s shoulders the work of Christ. Why southward? Because the south needs it. I? 13 THE SPIRIT OF CIVILIZATION and its mission is to break down barriers. The law of brotherhood should be preached. If he were the emperor of China he would send the mis- stonaries home and tell them ‘when your country- men learn what Confucius has taught us and what Jesus has taught you, you ¢an come back.” The south was ready for it from Virginia to Texas, the Spirit of Keinper county will not resist for there was no place where it will not meet with a hospitable welcome. He did not mean that the churches were ready to recelve them, but the peo- ple of the south—of the. otd and the new ‘south—the poor white trash amd the colored gen- tlemen. They know that the are consistent th their teachii crow on the Sense of ‘common they went down south on a there would be irouble, but if they preach the eae Ht of Jesus. they wer there. ‘The south 1s ready r, eccleslastic- ally, socially, religiously, uid go there foulow!t a eheaee ieee ht top elevate the coleret race Sige he an Seay.

Some zealous preachers in the south would have three points to thelr sermons, arranged under the following heads: 1st,taking the text; 2i,getting away from it; and 8d, not returning to it The. colored man Was rising, and he needed _ the assist- ance of the churches that he may rise spiritually, and that there be better preaching. z Proceedings To-day. Many of the members of the Congregational Association went out to Howard university this Morning and held a prayer meeting at 9 o'clock. There was a large attendance of students, and great interest manifested. The president of the university, Rev. Dr. Patton, made some brief in- troductory remarks, and conducted the opening exercises. Kadrosces were then made by Rev. Dr. Strieby, Rev. J. A. Ely, Rev. R. B. Howard, the brother of Gen. Howard, and Rev. Mr, Foster. ‘The meeting was prolonged somewhat; in consequence the session of the assoclation, which was to have been resumed at 10:30 at the church corner of G and 10th ts, Was not called to order by the moderator, Rev. Mr. Foster, until nearly 11 o'clock. After brief devotional exercises the minutes of the last session were read. Prest- dent Mark Hopkins, of Williams College; Rev. Dr. Marley, of New York; Rev. pr. Strong, Hon. John Hill, of'New Jersey, and ex-Gov. Dingley, of Maine, re invited to séats in the conference. On mo- tion, two delegates were appointed to attend the Welch association in Scranton. ‘The appointment of the committee was left to the committee on nominations, THE PRESIDENT’S VETO OF THE CHINESE BILL UNANI- MOUSLY APPROVED. Rey. Dr. Rankin offered a resolution, which stated that we thank the God of the Pilgrim Fath- ers, and of the fathers and founders of the re- public that he gave to his servant, Ches- ter A. Arthur, our honored President, the wisdom and the courage to refuse his signature to the recent legislation excluding a large portion of the human family from our shores, and that we Unite our prayers, that all measures so contrary to the law of human brotherhood, to the genius of our institutions, to the discipline of suffering rough which the nation has passed and to the pfnciples of the kingdom of Jesus Christ among men may share the sime fate.” The resolutions Were adopted without comment and debate. ‘The treasurer reported the receipts $147.56, and the expenditures for the year $130.43, leaving a balance in the treasury of $17.13. ADDRESSES ON TEMPERANCE. The subject for the day,““Temperance and Chris- tianity,” was then taken up, and ex-Gov. Dingley, of Maine, delivered an address on the subject. Mr. Dinglcy said that the entire drift of Chris- tan teaching was in favor of a total abstaining from lquor. He maintained that whoever con- nected himself with a Christian church was bound to abstain from alcoholic liquors as a beverage, not only for his own sake, but that of others. In conclusion Mr. Dingley referred to the fact that he resided in a manufacturing city of 23,009 inhab- itants, and there was not a single open liquor Cyst in the city. This remark was received with applause. = ir. D. M. Henderson, of Baltimore, followed in an interesting add in which he maintained that the church and the liquor traMe were antag- onistic, and yet oftentimes the attitude of the church on this question was doubtful and uncer- tain. On this issue the church has no platform. He favored legal prohibition. A general discussion followed. The speeches were brief and to the point. A resolution was offered favoring the extinction of the liquor trailic, which was adopted. THR VENERABLE MARK HOPKINS. the ex-president of Williams College was called upon by the moderator, in very complimentary terms, to address the association. In response, he Said that he came in to see a body of Congrega- tlonalists as far south a8 Washington. For It was known that the denomination did not extend very farsouth. The denomination encourages the indi- vidualism among the members, and the great ob- stacle to the spread of the church was the objec- tion that the material was unfit; that the people rather needed governors than to govern tuem- selves. But he believed that men must learn to swim by being thrown into the water, and so Con- Fregationalisia would advance and grow strong, ite hoped that the movement would extend farther south. Hisremarks were received with applause. Upon the conclusion of his remarks, the modera- for announced that it was time to go to the White House and call upon the President. An adjourn- ment was taken for this purpose until the after- noon. AFTERNOON PROCEEDINGS. After the visit to the White House the members were entertained at lunch by the ladies of the congregation. The carly portion of the afternoon session, which was resumed at 1:30, was occupted with an interesting discussion of the question of the “Children and the church,” wnich was opened by Rev. Charles Noble and Hon. D. 8, Alexander. ‘The sacrament of the Lord’s supper was adailnis- red. The association finally adjourned. To-mor- row the members will visit Mount Veraon.

THOMPSON. Late yesterday afternoon, in the Circuit Court, Judge MacArthur, the case of Hallet Kilbourn against John G. Thompson, for- merly Sergeant-at-Arms of the House of Re- Presentatives—action for false imprisonment for $150,000—was taken up. It will be rememberea- that in the early part of 1876 a committee ot Con- fress—John M. Glover, J. D. New, Burwell B. wis and A. Herr Smith—being engaged in inves- tigating certain alleged transactions of the board of public works of the District. of Columbia and the so-called “real estate pool,” the plaintiff was called as a witness, and certain Dooks of the firm of Kilbourn & Latta were called for, which he re- fused to produce. For this he was taken to the bar of the House, and fafling to respond to the subpena duces tecum he was adjudged gulity of conterapt and committed to the custody of the Sergeant-at-Arms on the Mth of March, 1876, n an ig of habeas corpus by Chief Justice Cartter. On August 6th following (by Messrs. Hillyer and Jeffries) Mr. Kilbourn entered suit against Speaker Kerr, since deceased, and the other partles, and in tte Circuit Court pleas were filed that the imprisonment was in she power of the House of Representatives. To these pleas the Plaintiff demurred and the demurrers were over- Tuled. The case then went to the Supreme Court of the United Stites, and that court affirmed the Judgment below as to’all the partles except Thomp- up son and remanded the case, which _now comes as against Thompson. Messrs. D. W. Voorhees, L, Jeffries, Jere Wilson and E. Totten now apy for plaintiff, and W. 8. Smith and Mr. Corklilll tor defendant. Nothing was done in the case yesterday other than to empannel a jury, and the law in the case having been settled by tie Supreme Court of the United States nothing ts now left for them except to assess the damages. ‘MR. TOTTEN’S AKGUMENT TO-DAY, On the opening of the court this morning Mr. Totten, for the plaintiff, opened the case to the jury, saying it was somewhat unlike the usual cases—between man and man—brought before the court. The facts were that Mr. kil- bourn, in 1876, being an orderly, peaceable citizen, engaged in the real estate busiless, on the 14th ol March of thht year was seized and incarcerated in the county jail for the space of 45 days. This Suit was instituted about six years ago, and its history was that after his arrest he petitioned for A *7iE of habeas corpus, on the hearing of which he was discharged. ‘The plaintiff nen entered sult and judgment was given here by a divided — court defendant, and the case went to the Supreme Court of the United States, where the plaintiff obtained a decision In his favor In the face of a decree of that court madi ity years ago in a.cage almost. precisely similar. Out of the refusal of the plaintiM before a con mittee of the House to expose his private busin’ this case had grown, and this was the last fin: act in the case. ‘They would show that at the time Mr. Kilbourn was an orderly, peaceable inan and was kept in the jail ‘debarred from friends and family, and his health was impaired, which rendered it necessary to expend large sums of money. Mr. Totten then read from the decision of the Supreme Court of the United States on the case, and said the case would be submitted to them that they might assess the damages. It was time that this question was settled, for Congress had sent Messrs. Ratasdell and White to Jail, Pat Woods to a dungeon, and others had been confined, but none had dared attack their power itil Mr. Kilbourn had been incarcerated. fe Would ask that it should be known that twelve honest citizens appreciate this outrage, and Will give a verdict accordingly. ‘MR. KILBOURN’S TESTIMONY. ‘Mr. Kilbourn was the first witness, and he test!- fled that at the time he wasof the firmof Kil- bourn & Latta, real estate agents, brokers, &. thaton March 14th, 1876, he having been sum- moned to the bar of the House, Was arraigned at the bar for contempt in refusing to produce before @ committee the private books of the firm; that aiter the passage of the resolution of Uh House, Thompson approached him, took os sion of him and witness went to jail in a carriage, having been arrested about 6 o'clock, and, after dinner at his house, landed in jatl about 10 o'lock ; that the first night he spent in the warden’s office, and a poltceman sat in the room, he belleves, trout the House and another sat outside; the guard was changed about 1 o'clock, which ‘disturbed him somewhat, On the following day he complained to Mr. ‘Thompson that the guards there made ‘it appear that he was a murderer, and this was rectified. He spent haif 2 dozen nights in this room, but the guards were out in the hall. ‘The windows of thts room had iron rods outside. Afterwards they fitted up a room in the second story, which had been Used as the phy- sician’s room, with that adjoining, for him and his guard, the assistant sergeant-at-arms. The door ‘Was not kept locked on him down stairs, and when he went up stairs the officer remained with him. ‘The windows were tron grated. After spending a week or ten days he was moved up to Toom the third story, where the lance of e time Was spent. He could have walked out In the cor- ridors with his attendant, but could not get out. ‘Thinks he remained until April 28th, when he was discharged by a writ of habeas corpus from this court. ‘Did not think he was in as good condition when he came out as when he went in. Could see prisoners there confined for crime, and there were Seme in the adjoining room; saw the Black Marla every day, and noticed the flag on the apitol Waving a8 the emblem of the rights of the citizen, (Mr. Smith—You are wandering from the issue. “Mr. Totten—Are you ashamed of the flag?) There were in the vicinity the pest house, small- POX hospital, poorhouse and grave yard—not very charming objects. ‘The worry and anxiety had an effect on his health, and he Was advised to go to the Pacific coast for the beneflt of his health, by his physicians. He left in the folowing August, and was absent tll October, “To What expense were you put, Mr. Kilbourn 2” asked Mr. Totten. The defendant objected, were not alleged in the dec! The court ruled that they could prove the employment of a physician, &e. r, Kilbourn continued and sald he employed Dr. Bulkley, who visited at the Jail, and tae ex- enses of the trip to California were’ considerable. He expended In consequence of this grievance many thousands of dollars that he would not otherwise have expended. His business was very seriously impaired; its effect being to wind up the business. The inquiry provoked comment all over the country, and business dropped off right away, and his credit was injured. The business of the firm ‘had been th est in that Line in the a € ity. *, Mr. Totten asked what were the profits? Mr. Corkhill objected, and the court sustained the objection. Mr. Totten asked that the declaration be amended so as to embrace this point. ‘The Court.—What more do you want than what he has sald—the business was large and pros- perous, and broken up. You had better go on. Mr. Kilbourn continued.—Was in the real estate business till 1879. Fi Mr. Totten.—Did you obtain your meals at the jail? Mr. Kilbourn.—I paid most of my board there. The guard were quite fompanionable, and they gat at my table and lived well They improved on it ‘Mr. Totten.—You were fattening up the whole Police force, Mr. Kilbourn.—A portion of them. Cross-examined by Mr. Corkhill.—Was before an investigating committee of the House on the real estate pool; declined to produce the books; was taken before the bar of the House, and refusing to woduce the books he was taken to jail Mr. ompson Was entirely courteous, ted him as the guest of the nation; no ‘indignity was offered him; witness’ friends were not debarred from visiting him there. The troubles of the firm grew out in part of the depreciation of real estate which followed the failure of Jay Cooke & Co. TESTIMONY OF MR, OLMSTEAD. Mr. John F. Olmstead was next called, and testi- fied that Mr. Kilbourn’s apparent condition when putin Jail was very good, and when he came out 1 Was quite broken down in health and spirits. ‘The imprisonment of Mr. Kilbourn had an injuri- ous effect on the business, as special damages ration.

Upon being sworn the chairman bezan his eximlaation by asking, “Are you acquainted with Mr. Shipherd, and where did you first meet him?” Answer.—Mr. Shipherd sent a message to my oMice, through a lawyer, to the effect that he wanted to see me. Shortly afterwands he sent another remarkable note throuzu a private secre- tary, I think 1t was in December. I saw by his second note that he wished to muke it appear that Iwantedto see him, whereas such was not the cage by any means. ‘The chairman. interrupting.—Mr. would like to call your attention to certain por- tions of Mr. Shiphent’s ev and what you Were about to say will then follow along in your general narrative. Aurlbut we Go IN sTRVR. The clerk then read from Mr. Shipherd’s testl- mony his description of the interview between himself (Shipherd) and Mr. Hurlbut, in which the latter is accredited with Saying that he had seen and held in his hands a dispatch from Mr. Blaine to Minister Hurlbut upon whlch was written ® ax eae note, “Go in Steve,” or “Go it Steve.” Witness repiled: “The whole narrative of this conversation with me is an absolute and profound misrepresentation of the fact. He sought an ine lerview with me and stated bis case and gave me along narrative of his relations with Mr. Blaine, ahd complained bitterly that he had not been well treated by the Secretary. There Js no truth in his statement that T told him [had seen such a dis patch with the marginal note. ‘The story he gives Of the instructions sent to the old admiral with a contrary construction upon the margin was a_ story I recognized as having” heard before. He repeated this story in. & highly dramatic manner, and it seemed likely that Mr. Blaine might have told him the story, but I hever gave him the slightest intimation that I seen Ship! pletel the incident. Having heard the story before, It Was my impression at the time of my Interview with Mr. Shipnerd that Secretary Blaine had ta his method of indicating that a marginal note might have been sent to supplement or com- plete the instructions contained in the body of @ ispatch. ‘The Peruvian tainister first related the ineldent to me. He said that In conversation with the Secretary he complained to him (the Secretary) that the de- partment or the government had'not taken just such a course toward Peru or sent such instruc. {Hons to Mr. Hurlbut, as he (the Peruvian minister) had expected, and the impression that I gathe was that Mr. Blaine had told the Peruvian minis ter tits ineldent to imply that he had indicatea on the margin of this dispatch his real views, which the circumstances did not admit of his doing in a constitutioual manner. It was simply an incident in my mtnd suggested by the conversation with the Peruvian minister, and I did not think of it agatn until the conver- sation with Mr. Shipherd, When his relation of the Same story gave me the impression that « mar- inal note might have been inade upon a dispatch my brother.
