Herald, to-day, Judge Wylie yesterday lala bare the irrelevant character of the testimony offered by the star route defence in language which 1s as just as it 1s plain. He did not intend, he sad, “to allow a de- fendant to screen himself’ by producing Postmas- ter Generals and Senators and Representatives to show a policy.” *Tb~ real question on trial is whether brady recessed money from contractors tor ordering expedition.” ‘This goes to the quick of the matter. ‘The prosecution has piled up evi- showing that the government was systema- ally robbed by the star route gang, who had erated together for that very purpose, and that the plunter taken from the public Treasury Was divided among the thieves. This evidence ot corruption is not met or even touched by putting distingulshed witnesses on the stand to swear that they advised and urged the expediting of star routes. If the expedited service on these routes Was grossly extravagant and wasteful, as it no- torlously was in many instances, the fact that It Representatives does not reflect the highest credit on them and neither justifies nor ins the plundering carried on.

PASSED OVER THE VETO THE RIVER AND HARBOR BILL It HAS NOW BECOME A LAW. OTHER BUSINESS IN BOTH HOUSE OF CON- GRESS. ‘The Senate To-day. Mr. Dawes, from the committee on Indlan affairs, reported back, in the Senate to-day, the House bill, (identical with the one passe by the Senote), au- thorizing the leasing of the Salt Springs in the In- dian Territory and the appropriation of the royalty therefrora to the Cherokee school fund. Passed. Mr. Platt, from the penstons comm!tt2e, reported, and ‘askel consideration of, an original bill to amend section 4 ute: , of the Kevised Stat- and for other purposes. He explained that the bill was to meet a case where the widow of a penstoner, after his death, draws the | pension th violation of the ta without revealing the fact of the death. The pur: pose W, ke the etidren lon date from the time at which the widow ceases to draw the pension; that 1s, from the time of discovery, when payment ts stopped, provided she has In te mean- Ume supported the children. The bill made another change In the law by providing tunt noto- rious and adulterous conabitation by a widow shall terminate the pension. With these excep- tions the existing statute was substantially re- enacted. Tu reply to an inquiry by Mr. Davis, of West Virginia, Mr. Platt added that the billdid not entail any additional expenditure for pensions, The bill was passed. Mr. Anthony reported from the printing com- mittee, as amen |, the House joint resoiution for the printing of reports of the director of the geological survey. After debate the committee was sustained (yeas 32, nays 27), and the smaller number of reports ordered, with an additional 1,000 for sale, making the total 11,000. ‘The resolution then passed. The Hiver and Harbor Bill Passed Over the Veto. At 2:10 the Senate moved to lay aside the sundry civil bill till 3 p. m, and take up the river and har- bor bill. At conclusion of reading of veto message a vote was taken on passage of the bill over veto. It re- sulted—yeas, 41; nays, 16; so the Dill has become a law, having previously passed the House. ‘The senate bill for a $100,000 government bulld- ing at Leavenworth, Kan., was reported without amendment and, on motion of Mr. Plumb, passed.

The bill ‘will De sent to the Senate at once. Capitol Notes, The resolution introduced in the House yester- day providing forasine die adjournment on the 4th of August, was after debate referred to the committee on appropriations. ITEMS OF LOCAL INTEREST IN THE SUNDRY CIVIL BILL. Pending the consideration of the sundry civil appropriation bill by the Senate yesterday, the appropriation reported for a new bullding for the Pension bureau Was discussed with reference to the locality of the proposed site. The committee recommended the open space north of the Smith- sontan grounds. Mr. Platt moved to amend by empowering the Secretaries of War and Interior, With Gen. M. C. Meigs, to select the site upon any of the public reservations. Agreed to. The item was adopted as amended. ‘The appropriation for improving the Capitol ofrounds, which the com- mittee reduced for $75, to $25,000, was fixed at $65,000, and the provisions for continuing work on the permanent approaches and for pay of a land- scape architect, which the committee had stricken out, were restored. ‘The Senate, after disposing of seventy-six pages of the bill, made an agreement to finish it to-day under the five-minute rule for debate.

Mr. mont concurs in the general conclustons of the committee, but adds a supplementary report in re- gard to the Landreau which he holds to ave Deen of little merit even when in the hands of the claimant. Mr. Belmont severely allowing this claim ot THE STAR ROUTE TRIAL. Mr. Buell and Other Witnesses Ex- amined intents fegtl ns ‘Thousand Dol- Jars—Ownership of the Capital and Critic Newspapers. When the star route trial was resumed this morning, Mr. French, ex-chiet clerk of the con- tract office, was recalled to the stand by Mr. Wil- SOM and gave further testimony as to the routine ‘of the contract office. Mr. Wilson submitted the form of a proposal, bearing date 186%, which was objected to. ‘The defence then asked a subpoena calling for the “Acceptance Book” of 1878, in the Second Assistant Postmaster General's office, showing the forms of advertisements and proposals in vogue then, Mr. Wilson offered in evidence a tabulated state- ment mae by Mr. French, showing the number of routes bid upon at the letting of 1878, by John W. Dorsey, John R. Miner, J, M. Peck, J. H. Watts and A. E. Boone. Mr. Bliss objected to the table so far as it referred to parties not named tn the indictment. The court sustained the objection as to W: holding that Boone, according to the evidenc the government, was a meinber of the combination at the beginnin: Mr. Wiison then read the table, showing that y putin 2 bids, and was lowest bidder on 48; Miner, 218 bi is, lowest bidder on 46; Peck, 199 bids, lowest on 31; Boone, 445, lowest on 18; making ap age ate of 1,150 bids put in, of which 143 were the lowest submitted. Upon cross-examination, the witness sald that he could name no case, prior to July 23, 1876, where expedition had been made atter the contract was let and before the date of Ws performance. THE WITNESS FRENCH ANC HIS KEMOVAL FROM OFFICE At the close of the cross-cxamination the wit- ness, in reply to a question from Mr. Bliss , sald he left the office in April, 1881. Bien were removed, were you not?” sald Mr. s. ta, LAS” sald the witness, “because I refused “No matter,” interrupted Mr. Bliss. removed.” Upon redirect examination the witness sald that he was removed from office because he refused to resign. The reason for the removal as stated to him by Postmaster General James was that he had sat by Gen. Brady and known of extravagance and failed to report it. At the same time the Post- master General stated that he charged no wrong on his (the witness’) part. Witness’ resignation Was asked for three Umes, and was thrice refused. THE DELEGATE FROM MONTANA AS A WITNESS. Hon. Martin Maginnis, delegate from Montana Territory, was then called to the stand and exam- ined as to the route from Bismarck to Tongue river, giving an account of his efforts to secure an increase of service. The witness described the pavanta nes to a new country of an extended and increas mail route. The witness on cross-exam- ination being questioned as to the date when the government erected a telegraph line along the route named, sald, “It was the year thet George Spencer went out of the Senate,” “Perhaps he 1s on that telegraph Ine now,” sald Mr. Bliss. \(iWe can't find him at any rate.” sald Mr. Mer- ricl “You were A CORRESPONDING CLERK. Mr. J. W. F. Williams, corresponding clerk of the First Assistant Postmaster General's office, was called to the stand by Mr.Henkle and testified that S. H. Adains ceased to be postmaster at Alvord, Oregon, on the 1st of April, 1881. A. C. BUELL ON THE STAND. A. C. Buell was then called to the stand by Mr. Wilson. It Walsh with Go Packard and Senator Kellogz in the spring of 187: iggs house. Mr. Wilson asked the wit ish had ever patd him $1,000 on account of any Indebtedness of Brady to the witness, AN OBJECTION.

Mr. Wilson then proceeded with the examina- tion of Mr. Buell. ‘The witness sald General Brady did not owe him $1,000; he no account with hima. Walsh patd witness $1,000 for services in general to be rendered by witness In connection with an Investigation going on calculated to affect his (Walsh’s) contract. Witness was not person- ally acquainted with Brady at thattime. He knew no one in t except, Walsh, Walsh had never p: n $1,000 but once. ation by Mr. Merrick, the wit- ness sald the investigation referred tO was one conducted by a sub-committee of the House com- Inittee on appropriations in 1879-80. At the time witness made the arrangement with Walsh the contract held by Walsh was the pivot of the ex- amination. ‘The investigation grew out of a sult against Walsh. Witness’ relations with Walsh had been more or less pleasant for a year or two. Waish had been in the habit of accommodating him with money when he wanted it. When Walsh got Into trouble witness, naturally, took his part. He could not say when Any particular conversa- tion took place out of which the transaction grew. MR. MERRICK’S QUESTION. “Didn’t that investigation,” asked Mr. Merrick, “affect Mr. Brady more than Mr. Walsh?” “I don’t know about that,” said the witness. “You don’t know?” sald Mr. Merrick “Ididn’t study it from that standpoint,” said the witness. The witness sald Walsh was one of the principal witnesses before the committee. Witness was at that time printing clerk of the Senate. He was on friendly relations with ‘Representative Blackburn, and had formerly been his committee clerk. The witness sald the law prohibited em- Ployes of the House and Senate taking fees for ad- vocating claims before Cot ‘aish’s case Was not a claim. Witness became acquainted with Brady in February, 1880. Brady had never transferred to witness any railroad stock; nor had he received the dividend of such stock. Mr. Wilson here interposed an objection. Judge Wyile did not interrupt the examination, saying “This certainly goes to the witness’ credit, or discredit, I don’t know which.” DIDN'T BAY-TT. ‘The witness said he knew Mr. Nelson, correspon- dent of the Boston Post. “Did you not state to Mr. Nelson, in Lafayette Square, in the winter of 1,” asked Mr. Mer- rick, “that Brady had soltciu@l your aid, asa news- paper man, in connection the star route in- vestigation?” “No, sir,” said the witness, #I never said that to anybody.” 3 WRITING THINGS FOR BRADY. Mr. Merrick then asked the witness if Brady had not asked him to write things for him. ‘The witness said he would not swear that Brady did not ask him to write things. ‘The witness said that he might have told at he had written an article on the strength of information received from Brady. He did not remember having had any conversation with Nelson in ette square. In 1880 and 1881 witness wrote in the defence of Brady or on Brady’s side case. The wit- ness said he had never told Mr. Nelson that Brady ‘Was so well pleased with whag he (witness) haa Piritten that he proposed $0 whim Into a “deal” in Nashville anc Chattanpoga, . _ A POSITIVE ANSWER HRQUIRED. After further questioning, thg witness said he did not recollect having a coaversation of such a kind with Mr.-Nelson. ‘Mr. Merrick insisted that he was entitled to a positéye answer. ‘The court sald that he wag so entitled. ‘Mr, Totten said the wit Stated he had no am not a tO understand Joey you other ‘and you must ‘witness here, stifled to having first met John H. | inquired about. The witness denied that he had ever had any transactions in Nashville and Chat- tanooga with Brady or anyone else, or that he had ever sald so to anyone. He might Rave told some one that he had made money in stock speculation. ‘MR. BLACKBURN’S REPORT. The witness was employed also with Monroe Sauisbury in connection with the star route inves- tization. He had never told these men that he (witness) would write Mr. Blackburn's report. Mr. Ingersoll having objected to this, Judge Wylie said it was admissible as tending to dis credit him, as he was then an officer of the Senate. Mr. Heakle sald the witness would not have to Tepiy to any question that would crimtnate him, BUELL'S CONVERSATION WITH BOYNTON. The witness was asked regarding a conversation with Gen. Boynton, in which Gen. Boynton had stated, as Mr. Merrick represented, that the witness was in danger of indictment for receiving jmoney from Brady and others for influencing legis- lation. Witness sald that he had a conversation with Boynton, Col. Piatt having written to him (the witness) that Gen, Boynton sald he was In da of indictment. Witness called Gen. Boynton’ tention to the fact that the statute prohibited ofl cers of the House and Senate being interested in any claim, Whereas an appropriation Dill was not a claim: ‘The witness said he resigned his office In the Senate when he accepted the retatuers. TRANSACTIONS WITH WALSH. The witness said that he had had transactions with Walsh for a year and a half before the tnves- tigation. In reply to a question as to the nature of the transactions, he sald: “Like most of my transactions—borrowing money. I don’t. believe Thad been out of his debt for a year until I made that settlement.” Witness said he had an indistinct recollection of having been introduced to Brady in 1876, but his acquatntance with him began in February, 1830. BUELL’S OCCUPATION. The witness having been asked as to hts occupa- tion sald he was a writer for the Capital and the Critic; he said he was not really the editor of the Capital. . WHO OWNS THE “CAPITAL” NEWSPAPER. “Doesn't Mr. Brady own that stock?” asked Mr. Merrick, referring to the stock of the Capital. “I haven't examined the books lately,” eala the witne 3, “and I don’t know.” “Haven't you a personal knowledge of that fact?” asked Mr. Merrick. “I may have had a personal knowledge of it,” sald the witness, “and he may have dis; of 1” “Have you any knowledge of it that he owns the stock?” “I have general knowledge, yes, alr,” sald the witness, “I suppose he does. Mr. Merrick having asked the witness tf Brady had not employed him as editor of the Capital, the witness said: “No, sir; I employed myself.” “Who employed you after you disposed of your stock?” asked Mr. Merrick. “I kept myself,” said the witness, “Who told you to keep on?” asked Mr. Merrick. “Why, Gen. Brady,” sald the witness, WHO OWNS THE CRITIC? “Who owns the Critict” asked the cross-ex- aminer. “The Critic Publishing Company,” said the wit- ness. “Do you know whether Mr. Brady has an inter- eat in that company?” asked Mr, Merrick. “Lexpect,” said the witness, “Mr. Brady has some of the'stock as collateral security for money loaned.” “How do you know?” asked Mr. Merrick, “ Well, he has,” suld the witness. “How much does he hola?” “Tean’t well that unless I refer to the books.” Does he hold nearly all of it?” Mr. Totten objected, but Judge W: Xamination Was all legitimate. Want to siow,” sald Mr, Merrick, “Hie Is here, ‘and that,” said Judge Wylle, “and everybody understands it except the counsel on the other side.” Mr. M sked the witness If Brady did not liold_ ne tock. “T don’t kn nuch he ow ” sald the 5 tL as Ihave not the books.” ‘The witness further stated that whenever the company had o n to borrow «ny money from e Stock for it; for instance, a a press they borrowed money from him und gave hita stock. Mr. Merrick, Where Is Collatera’ After considerabte parrying Mr. Merrick insisted upon knowing whether or not all the stock nad not been given to Brady at the start, in constdera- Uon of money furutshed to run the paper. he witness replied, rasTknow, yes” © ‘The court then took’ a recess. a a Affairs in West Wash CrunERLAND Coat Tr. ¥ the mines of the Cum week en led Saturday, July 29% 287 tons, and for the year to tha 13 tons, a de- crease Of 571,269 tons as compared with the corres- poniing periot of last y rhe shipments Ches @ ahd Ohio canal were:—Week, 3,015 tons; year, 18,834 tons; decrease as compare] with 188) tons.

Chapman Neale was upon the Richmond train which stopped a few moments at the Fayette street depot between 5 and 6 o’clock yesterday af- ternoon. He was In charge of Deputy Marshal Cartrill, of Colorada. Mr. John Phillips, the mail messenger at this place, held a short conversation with him, and says he looks much more healthful and stout than ever before. He will probably have a hearing before a, United States commis- sioner in Richmond to-day and his bail be fixed. While a fugitive in the mines, Neale passed under the allas of C. Graham. It is just two years ago this August since Mr. Neale was the prime favor- ite of an immense body of people in this section of the country. At a convention which sat_here, hundreds of ‘the leading gentlemen of the district sat up all night In convention rather than allow him be defeated for a congressional nomina- tion; and on most of ninety ballotings, extended through two days and night received a ma- Jority of votes, but two-thirds Were required. His recting at thé close of the convention was thus lescribed at the time:—* Mr. S.C. Neale aueeerel ane Borers was renee) wie the lest ap- use, went upon the stage cheer after cheer rang through the hall, the delegates suj rting him rising to their feet and waving their ts, handkerchiefs, #c., until he disappeared into aretiring room.” And yet this greeting wasgiven just as he missed achance that turned his life; ‘and, turning from the road wo the Capitol, after devious turns and tricks, he took the broad way that leads him now to Richmond.

The Bigelow Defnication. THE AMOUNT ABOUT $35,0C0—WHAT IS SAID AS TO THE DISPOSITION MADE OF TAE FUNDS, ETC. Mr. Charles S. Bradley, the cashler of the N, tonal Bank of the Repablic, states that up to Jan- uary 1,1882, the total amount embezzied by Biceiow is $37,970.59. Against this there 1s a credit of $3,000, which reduces the total amount to about $35,000. Mr. Bradley says in regard to embezzle- ments previous to January 1, 1882, “there Is evi- dence that Bigelow has withheld deposits at ir- regular times, and to a mild extent for several years back, but in every case they were restored to the accounts of depositors.” The return of the defaulter has started anew the discussion tn regard to him and his financial operations. Tae question: WHAT DID HE DO WITH TIS MONEY? forms a fruitful theme of discussion without giv- ing much promise of any definite information. Bigelow has not thrown any light on that subject. In leu of any other explanation the theory has been started that Bigelow was interested with others in fnancial operations and a great deal of the money was absorbed in that way. But this 1s not credited by those wil were well acquainted with the defauiter. His friends and acquaint- ances have a ready answer to the question as to the disposition of the money. They say that he Spent it in the ordinary ways; that he lived gener- ously; kept his family and home well supplied With "luxuries, |and “In his personal expendi- tures Thad a’ millionaire style which bespoke large resources. In his posttion as superintendent of the Calvary Baptist Sunday school, for instance; he lavished money without stint. During the past Winter he entertained the entire school, which numbers some 350, in the Sunday school room of the church 2s often as once in every two weeks. At these receptions ice cream, cake and other re- freshments were served in abundance and the bilis were footed by Bigelow. He was a popular superintendent, and frequently surprised his teach- ers by presenting them each with beautiful bou- quets of towers on Sunday mornings He als entertained the teachers and members of the School, the latter in sections, at his Lome duriag the past winter. While he Was not dissipated or extravagant, in one sense of the word, yet he was, @ generous Spender, and itis thought that lately he spent more lavishly than usual; that was all, THE QUESTION OF BAIL. His father-in-law seems to think that he will get ball, but it 1s hardly expected that this will be the case. ——_ Certificate of Guiteau’s Execntion, Warden Crocker to-day fled with the clerk of the court the proper certificate of the execution of Charles J.

Mr. Cleary soon returned and told the court that he went down to the District buildings to get the permit and found aman walking up and down the floor in his shirt sleeves with the air of a Bonaparte, and who would hardly speak to witness, but he finally said that the matter was referred to Lieut.
