GOVERNOR SHEPHERD'S HACIENDA STRUCK BY A ‘WATER SPOUT. A letter from Batopilas, Mexico, dated July 5th, Says: “We had a terrible storm and water spout last night. It forced away the large back wall of the hacienda, tore the track partly to pices, worked down the other walls and nearly all of the high wall just behind the rooms, and stopped up the drain so the whole torrent made a passage through Grodie’s room.

THE JAPANESE INDEMNITY BILL Mr, Bayard, from the conference committee on the Japanese indemnity bill, reported a disagree- ment and stated that a. proposition had originated in the conference for the payment of five per cent Interest on the $785,000 received from Japan for the Whole period intervening singe the receipt of the money. He reviewed the Bistory of the trans- action, showing that 1t was optional with the Tycooh to pay the money or open the port of Simonoseki, tat the payment was made in 1864, and the port was not opened until 1879, although the option was termtnable during this’ period at the pleasure of the Tycoon. He held therefore that there was no valid claim for the allowance of interest during that period. Mr. Windom said that the declarations of the executive officers and the attempted legislation heretofore on the subject, recognized that the whole of the fund, including the accrued interest, belonged to Japan. Mr. Morgan briefly replied to Mr. Bayard, and the report was accepted.

Gen. Sherman, Senator Maxey and Ex-Postmaster General Key as Wit- messes. SENATOR MAXEY, OF TEXAS, AS A WITNESS, When the Criminal Court met this morning, the defence in the star route case called Hon. Samuel Maxey, Senator from Texas, to the stand. The Senator sald that for two years prior to 1881 he was chairman of the committee on post offices and post roads, Mr. Ingersoll having asked the Senator if he had ever visited the Post Office department with the view of securing increase or expedition of star route service, MR. MERRICK OBJECTED that there were no Texas routes included in the indictment, Mr. Ingersoll satd he proposed to show that the Senator had talks with tbe Postmaster Gencral as to what would be the policy of his administration; he wanted to show that it was upon a route in Texas that the policy of the department turned. It was the route from Fort Worth to Yuma, and was the frst route that was expedited. Tt was 1,500 miles@%Mz, and now it has been sup- planted ‘by rallroads.""He wanted to show that Senator Maxey urged a policy of Itberality to the pioneers, Mr. Bliss sald that the Fort Worth-to-Yuma route was not expedited in 1879, and that the pol- icy was not anophet then, for before that ume or- ders for expedition had been made. MR. MERRICK’S POINT. Mr. Merrick said it was immaterial what any member of Congress thought of the matter unless that opinion was formulated into law. If it was the opinion of the legislators of this country that any peal Policy should be adopted, they should have formulated it into law. Was the prosecution to call Senators and Representatives from Ohio, Indiana or other states to rebut this t@stimony and show that they had a different Ppoligy which they urged upon the Second Assistant Post- master General? Would the tndiviiual opin- jon of any member of Congress relieve Brady of criminality? They had had two or three stump speeches yesterday upon the subject of ex- pedition in the west. The issue plainly made by the inquiries addressed to the witns Was which side could find the greater number of nators or Representatives to endorse if. Counsel on the other side had sald that Brady was exerci: quasi-judicial function. Would this court defen: its decision by saying that Senators and Repre- sentatives bad talked to the court, and the deci- sion conformed with their policy? The charge here Was fraud, and the recommendations of Sen- ators or siveenre ies or the policy of distin- guished public men had no bearing upon it. ME. INGERSOLL, referring to the report of the congress‘onal in- quiry into the star service, satd the Fort Yuma route was expedited August 5, 1878. “The fiscal year 1879,” sald Mr. Bliss. “Ah, you didn’t say anything about fiscal year,” sald Mr. Ingersoll. “T did,” said Mr. Bliss. “No, sir,” sald Mr. Ingersoll He proceeded to state that after the policy indicated had been urged by members of Congress, Congress sup- ported the policy by voting appropriations asked for. THE COURT NOT TRYING A QUESTION OF POLICY, BUT A CRIME. Judge Wylie sald the court was not sitting to try any question of policy. It engaged in trying a crime against the United States. “An alleged crime,” interrupted Mr. Ingersoll “No offender against the law,” continied Judge Wiley, an screen himself by pleading that the Ss ter General or Senators or Representa- 4 ved a certain policy upon him. He had the right under the law to expedite and Increase service. The policy of the government is to be found in its laws, and is to be measured by its laws and not otherwise. The Supreme Court of the United States hasdeci ded that in the det mination of the laws themselves one cannot even look at the debates In Congress. They say Uh’ policy of the government ts expressed in the laws, and the laws are not to be determined even by the debates in their passage. They say thls policy was Baaptod by the Second Assistant Post- mnaster General under advice and it was the rizht policy. Suppose it was right, what does that vend to do with this case. ord Bacon defended himself agaipst the charge of bribery on the ground that his decisions were right; that he Has bribes for deciding right, but he was stripped of is gown,” “Yes,” interrupted Mr. Ingersoll, “but he admit- ted the bribery.” “Admitting that the polley was right,” Judge Wylie continued, ‘and suppose that the offence was, nevertheless, made out, the policy passed for noth- ing, any more than the correctness of Lord Ba- con’s decision was a screen for him against tue charge of bribery.” Judge Wylie said that the prosecution would ail unless corruption was established; but if the corruption was shown the policy urged by Sena- tors and Representatives would not mitigate it in the least. EX-POSTMASTER GENERAL KEY ON THE STAND. Senator Maxey then left the stan, and the de- fence called Hon. D. M. Key, ex-Postmaster Gen- eral, to the stand. Mr, Ingersoll addressed some inquiries tending tocall out the policy urged by Mr. Key, when Postmaster General, upon his Second Assistant, Dut objection was made. The witness did not re- member any special conversation about routes mentioned tn the indictment. Mr. Totten argued that the witness should be allowed to state what the general tenor of his in- ‘structions to his subordinates was. Judge Wylie remarked that the testimony for the prosecution tended to show that the Post- master General was imposed upon, and now the defence wanted to show that he was imposed upon. Judge Wylte said he would admit the tes- timony if it were confined to specific routes men- tioned in the indictment. Mr. Ingersoll asked Mr. Key it he decided the question for Mr. Brady whetber the expedition Was lawful and proper on all the routes expe- This provoked objection to the gencral nature of the question, and another argument. Mr. Ingersoll sald that he proposed to show that all Ses orders were signed by the Postmaster Gen- era Judge Wylie said that that would be proper Proof, and the defence could introduce the orders. Mr. Ingersoll thereupon asked for a subpoena for the Postmaster General, to bring with him the books In which are written all the order respect- ing increase and expidition for the years 1878, 1879, 1880, and 1881. Mr. Ingersoll in his remarks said they would show that the Postmaster General m: these orders sometimes after they were disapproved by his second assistant. JUDGE KEY'S CONVERSATION WITH BRADY. Mr. Ingersoll offered to prove that Judge Key had conversations with Brady, in which he told him that he (Judge Key) had given great atten- tion to this question; that owing to the Indian troubles in the north, and owing to trouble on the Mexican border, he had concluded to increase and expedite the mail in order that the people of that country might have swift communication and be in a better condition to defend themselves; further- more, that he told Brady that he led the mails as a great civilizer, and considered that the piomoers in the west were entitled to the mails, Ce Judge Wylie sald this was merely evidence tend- ing to show the policy of the department, and that policy was not on trial. Ingersoll asked the witness I¥ HE HAD EVER DETECTED BRADY in endeavoring to hide any paper or record relating to these routes from him. Objection was made to this by the government and sustained by the court, eta i ns OE en Peg AD erg under 6 r. Inger- soll asked Some questions relating to the prepsra. Uon of the Postmaster General’s re} gress. He offered to show what were taken into consideration oy, the Postmaster General other than the productiyeness of routes in ordering the expedition of service, but the testl- was then called to the stand by Mr. Ingersoll, who handed him a paper, which the witness read and ‘petition for increase of "ihe witness 2ald ‘the facts that operated on his e mind tn recommending this increase were the out- break of the Indians in the White River one? A ition of the troops. it ment to up Tace ever since the beginning of history, and ther to us, and probably will remain so yare all gone. The General described ‘the condition of the Indians when he visited them and inspected them. The witness was cross-cx- amined by Mr. Bliss. He was questioned a few minutes about the Indian troubles, and then ex- cused from the stand. ‘The court, a few minutes before one o’clock,took & recess for half an hour. AFTER RECESS, John L. French, formerly chief clerk of the con- tract office, was recalled to the stand. He testi- fied that the Second Assistant Postmaster General signed the contracts for the Postmaster General. r. Wilson asked the witness who was acting a8 Second Assistant Postinaster General on the 28th of December, 1880, the day Walsh testifled that he had the interview with Brady in Mr. Sheridan's office.

RAVAGES OF THE DISEASE—THE HEALTH AUTH ORI- TIES UNABLE TO CONTROL IT. Corrgspondence of Tue EVENING Stan. Bautimore, July 31, 1882. ‘The smallpox has taken such a tenacious hold in this city that the health department have ex- hausted their ingenuity in devising methods to stamp it out. Were it not for the fear of raising un- due alarm outside the city, which would be preju- dicial to Baltimore's commercial interests, doubt- Jess the authorities would calla meeting of the city council and adopt some more stringent precaution- ary measures. The health authorities state that they do not think it possible to eradicate the dread disease this summer, and expect that the ar- rival of the winter season will cause a decided tn- crease in the number of cases. Summer is decidedly the most unfavorable season for the spread of smallpox, as then thorough ventilation of the in- fected localities, houses, etc., can be given, due to the mildness of the weather, which allows windows and all to be thrown oj In winter the cold precludes such action. The infected air remains confined and the disease attains its most virulent form. If it is found impossible to kill the infection during the summer months, It ts_consid- ered a sure sign of adecided of the epi- demic duri he following cold weather. The health commissioner considers that a compulsory and thorough vaccination 1s the only means of coping with the difficulty. The opposition here to compulsory vaccination is so great that it would be a most difficult thing to passsuch an ordinance, Jet alone attempting to enforce it. The disease at present is confined mainly to the eastern section of the city, where it suddenly a few months since from the southern | | cently appointed U. 8. sub-treastirer in Unis city, entered upon the dutles of the office re- leving Peter Negley, who has held the office for twelve years, having been appointed by General Grant during his first term The count of the j funds in the vaults preparatory to the transfer of the office, was completed yesterday afternoon by experts from the Treasury departinent at Wash= ington, and the amount on hand, over four mil- lion nine hundred thousand dollars, found to be correct lo a penny.
