Ishall very soon, however, submit to the chief of engineers a letter, accompanied by a statement showing how the ap- Propriation made by Congress should be spent.? Col. Abert, who has given the subject of the re- elamation of the flats careful study, who was in the room atthe time, sald he had ho doubt but that Congress would, ‘from year to year, after the work was begun, appropriate Mberally for contin- uing the improvement to completion, ‘Touching the Kidwell claim, he satd he had given it much study, and it was partly covered In a letter which theCommisstoner of the General Land Office wrote to Senator Ransom of which the annexed is an extract: On September 10, 1367, Mr. Kidwell applied for a Werrant of survey for the tract known as ‘‘Kidwell’s Meadows,” and which was described in the a as an island in the Potomac rive city channel and the sw channel, commencing nearly opposite 15th stree’ id extending to a shere D street north strikes the canal or rivé er of survey was issued September 12, 18 itsexecution was made subject to the usual provisi that the land to be surveyed should be ‘‘firm land and not subject to tidal overflow.” ‘The survey was Te- turned by the county surveyor Octob: 867. An exemination of this survey was deemed necessary, and Mr, 3. J. Pallas, principal clerk of surveys in the Geu- eral Land office, was designated as examiver-general for this purpose. Mr. Dallas made the examination, and on Febraary 28, 1868, reported to the Commiss! er of the General Land office that he found the premises to be uncer the ice in the Petomac river, presenting no appearance of land, but submerged and’subject to tidal overfiow, and ‘‘of course not fit for ‘vacant cultive- tion,’as requirel by the third section of the act of " He found that the survey had been ‘‘re- turned in total disregard of the law and of the instruc- bodied in the warrant of survey.” ‘The survey. diuwly rejected. ct 1 and 24, 1869, a re-examination was made at the request of Mr. John Wilson, attorney for Kidwell, anc upon this re-examination the examiner- feueral rescinded his tormer opinion and approved the In this re-examination, made under favorable conditions than the exaniination in the ‘inal instance, hefound the ‘‘Kidwell Meadows" to ing or Le trom three aida half to four fest above low wate: aud from a foot to # foot an‘ a half above ordinary hig Water, a8 near as he could Judie owiny to the den sud vigorous growth of wild rice and other weeds which impede a clear view of all parts of the meadows.

The record of the court martialin the case of Col. Joseph H. Taylor, assistant adjutant general, stationed at Newport, Ky., has been received at the War department. ‘The case will go to Judge Advocate General Swatm for review, and will then be submitted to the President for his action. It is understood that the court found Col. Taylor guilty of the charge of invoking political influence to secure the revocation of an order transferring him to duty on the frontier, and sentenced him to be reprimanded in general orders. The specific alle- gitions on which Col. Taylor was tried were that he‘wrote a letter in which he impugned the mo- tives of the authority which gave the order for his transfer, by alleging that the change was made to please dn officer junior to linselt (Col. Corbin) horeby subjecting him (Col. Tayloy) to Inconve- nience and expense; also In giving formal notice that he intended to use political influence to have the order revoked, thereby intimating that he would goover the head of the Secretary of War. It is explained at the War department that while ofliers of the army often ask political intluence to secure favors stich as promotion, leave of ab- sence, and what are known as indulgences, {t 15 always considered a military offence for an officer to use such outside Influence to secure the revoca- tion of an order, as it 1s generally supposed that if there are reasonable grounds for it, they will be duly considered by the proper superior officer, to whom such applications should always be ‘ad- dressed. ——— The Sixth Maryland Dintrict. THE REPUBLICAN PRIMARIES, On Saturday republican primaries were held in Montgomery and Frederick counules to elect dele- gites tothe county conventions that meet next Saturday at Rockville and Frederick to elect dele- gates for the Congressional nominating conven- tion for the 6th district. Reports from Montgomery county, Colesville district, are that the delegation 4s solid for H. M. Hutchinson; Rockville solid for Congressman M. G. Urner; Mechanicsville solid for Francis Miller; Crackiins mainly for L. E. Mc- Comas, with two or three for Miller and one for Urner; Bethesda, majority for Hutchinson; and reports from other districts are that Hutchinson or Urner leads. In Frederick county Urner seems to have the lead, so far as heard from, though in Frederick City there was a little squabble over the question whether to nominate Urner tor Congress or the judgeship. ‘The result was the election of two sets of delegates-one who will support Urner for Ail gees the other for the judicial nomi- nation. eC Affairs in West Washington. A BOY TERNIBLY, PERHAPS FATALLY, BEATEN. Yesterday morning about seven o’clock a colored man going into the barn of Mr. Jacob Ernest, about two hundred yards above the District line, near “Tenley” town, found a white boy (of Irish descent heave in the barn on the hay, with bis head an face badly cut and bruised. ‘The boy seemed to be about 15 or 16 years of age, and was in an uncon- ‘scious condition. He was taken to Mr. Ernest’s house and physicians were summoned. He recov- ered consciousness for a moment only, and said his name was “Bob.” His head and one side of his face were terribly mashed, as if by blows from a heavy stick. He was seen in company with two colored men at Pierce’s store, near the turnpike, it is said, on Saturdary. He aaa see bundle of Baltimore and Ohio freight bills with him, some of which had the name of Wade & Andrews them. He was taken to Rockville to-day.

When the Criminal Court met thts morning, Mr. Merrick resumed his address to the jury in the star route trial, There were some trouble in arranging the windows In order to keep tho chilly air off the unprotected heads of the jurymen, so Mr. Merrick did not begin until nearly halt-past {ten ie sald that at the inst session of the court he had devoted himself to the task of showing S& W. DORSEY’S CONNECTION WITH THE TRANSAC- TIONS upon which the indictment was found—that he had called these conspirators together—that they were men of his selection—that he had directed the course of their action. He regarded the state- ment of Dorsey that it Miner dtd not go into the combination it would be some friend of his (8. W- Dorsey’s) as very Important, as showing that he was the artist’ that was putting together this crimnial mosaic. He had traced him (Dorsey) down to the end showing the corraption on the Jo Callente route of which he had been the bene- ficlary. He would not speak of other routes; ex uno dice omnes, From one they could judge all ‘They were ALL ALIKE COVERED WITH FRAUD. Through the same fraudulent instrumentalities they grew to be sources of tmiense revenue, and through that income 8. W. Dorsey benefitted, Whilst the testimony of Boone, enlightened bY that of Rerdell, showed about the time this con- splracy was organized the precise date of the or- anization was an immatertal matter. Progressive evelopment was a universal law of God. This combination formed as an innocent copartnership 80 far as appearances went,grew up Into a criminal conspiracy. ‘The precise period of its formation ‘woul be a matter impossible to determine. ‘They could never get at the facts by direct proof unless some one in the combination chose to come out and disclose them. ‘They must judge of whether it existed or not by the circumstances that sur- rounded it, and the engctment of the instrumen- talities through the United States was to be de- frauded. He compared a conspiracy with the works of a watch, act interlocks with act, wheel acts upon Wheel, and the whole machinery works for a common result, which in this ®ouspiracy was GAIN BY THE ROBBERY OF THE TREASURY. He referred to Mr. McSweeny’s declaration in his opening speech that ex-Senator Dorsey would produce his books and prove at once his innocence. Where were the books? When had they producea them? Has the testimony touched Dorsey so close that he dare not venture to produce more? Why did they make the promise uniess they meant to Keep it? Why, if they meant to keep it, had they changed their purpose? Darkness was’ the policy of the other side; the exclusion of light was their ractice. Evil déeds loved darkness, He dla not lame them for seeking the protection of dark- ness. He did blame them for making promises of light and then failing to keep them; forgetting them with a surprising facility. They had heard a great deal of live soldiers and dead soldiers. If they were iniocent let them talk facts and not soldiers and soldiers’ graves and widows’ tears, AFTER THE DIVISION 2 on the 1st of April, 1579, when the defense claimed that the interests of the varlous defendants were entirely severed from one another, they found Miner sending petitions, making oaths and writing letters on routes with which he had nothing to do if the claim of the defense was true. John W. Dorsey had made two oaths on routes on Which he was neither contractor nor sub-con- tractor. On the oath made on the Trinidad and Madison rovte, Miner benefited the parties hav- ing the route without any benefit to himself, if the theory of the defense was correct. When Miner made that oath he re-established and renewed the conspiracy. Peck made oath on the Kearney and Kent route, led on the 84 day of April, 1879, for the benefit of Vaile and Miner only, according to the defense. Was not that A RENEWAL OF THE CONSPIRACY? Again, Peck made an oath in December, 1878, which was not filed till after the distribution. ‘The filing of the false oath was a complaint on the in- dictment, as well as the making of it. Over $7,000 thereby went to Miner and Valle. Hence it was that he had said that this distribution, if distribu- tion there was, was a distribution not only of the plunder, but of the burglars’ tools. ‘These tools Were mace while the conspiracy was hot. The ai- viston was (00 palpable to talk about, and unless the other side could bring forward some more piaustbie defense, they had better at once take the verdlet and beg for mercy. BUELL AS A WITNESS FOR THE PROSECUTION, Mr. Merrick said that he would now leave the record testimony and take up the oral testimony of Walsh, James, Clayton, MacVeagh and Buell. He included Buell in the lst for the reason that while they desired to appropriate nothing that belonged to the defense, Buell, in the course of the cross-examination, had so assimulated himselt ‘with the case of the prosecution that he could be properly classed on that slide. Under the ordeal Of the cross-examtnation Buell had to give up the secrets of his heart and iis pocket—for his heart and pocket are the sume thing. Walsh’s statement was confirmed by the record and by Walsh. | He proposed to show that Rerdell was confirmed by the record, and that Buell con- firmed and did not confront and contradict Walsh, and the three combined establisued facts so 1m: portant and material that without the introauc- ton of a record this jury could do nothing but re- turn a verdict of guilty. Walsh had been attacked by the counsel of the defense in language that seemed but pale reflections of the billingsgate that they found in Brady’s hire press, yet not one particle of proof had been introduced, though the aptense had the proof, if it existed, to contradict Valsh, THEIR FIRST ATTACK ON WALSH was that Brady was not bereon the 2th of De- cember, 1880. Mr. Merrick argued the absurdity that Walsh would fix a day positively and produce anote dated on that day if he were lying. The defense had produced letters to show that Chief Clerk French had signed letters as acting second assistant postmaster general; but the prosecution had produced a letter signed by Brady on that day. ‘They could not accept the plea of the defense ex- cept by accepting with it a most improbable the- ory. The burden of proof did not shift to the de- fense ordinarily, but no law, common or col sional, could change the operations of the human mind. This letter, signed by Brady on the 28th of December, was a declaration by Brady himself that he was ee J on that day in his office, and there was no proof to offset or lain it. Brady was in his office both on the 2th and 28th, as proved conclusively by the letter-book. The de- fense made a point of the fact that Walsh had 2°35 6 ie” Fag ate Men les e) r. ? Waren in New York, saving hat the sum should be oe Brady had tel or written to New are to Wal to deposi 000 for him with Hatch & Foote, Walsh did not deposit the money, but waited for Brady and pai@ bim the money: ‘The testimony showed that on April 12, 1880, Brady had $10,000, and the entry was mark “C,” which meant checks or cash. That was the <4ay on which Walsh sald he the payment, WHERE DID BRADY GET HE MONEY. It Brady did not get that money from Walsh, ‘where did he get it? What was his pay? From whom did he get it? Why has he not peered were. he got it? Aman on a sal: : It he gets $10,000 in one sum ought va bane fiom om he re- ceived It.

Mr. 7 n said that the prosecution should have called Shi out the jury would not be deluded by any such pretences as t WALSH STOOD UNIMPEACHED, and all the Billinsgate they could pour upon him could not soil his character, The defense said that his examination in the Kellogg-Spofford case con- tradicted his testimony here. He (Mr. Merric! tried the Spofford case; he was counsel for Spot- ford. “I defy you,” sald Mr, Merrick, “to find a contradiction of Walsh in that testimony. The in- vestigation in that case referred to transactions in New Orleans, and not to these transactions.” “What about your brief?” asked one of the coun- sel for defense, sotto voce. : “I will send it to you,” said Mr. Merrick, ‘and if you can find anything ‘there impeaching Waish, I ill make you a present of anything you demand. Tdla not impeach him, and if Thad wanted toT would have been above calling him names—at least until those names had a just foundation in the proof offered.” Hils tearned brothers on the other side ought to be the last people in the world to TALK ABOUT BOOKS. Where were Vatle’s books—treasurer disburing halt a million dollars a year—no books—grave- yard principle. Where were Miner’s books? That Walsh had confidential business relations with Brady was shown by a letter from Brady asking Walsh for a loan of $25,000 of Chattanooga stock. Mr. Merrick having been Interrupted by the de- fense, said that he was engaged In proving that these defendants were engaged In a conspiracy to defraud the United States, and when he was done he did not belleve any sensible man would ente tain a doubt on that subject. As tothe interview in Sheridan’s office, if the defense denied it, Why did they not call “Uncle Billy,” who made the fire in Sheridan’s office? Why dtd they not call Sheridan? Why did they not ask the boy Expenyes of the Late President's Mines THE CLAIMS OF THE DOCTORS. The board of audit designated by Congress to audit the expenses attending the illness and death of the late President Garfield will be some months yet in making a report as to how the apportion- ment voted by Congress shail be expended. The greatest trouble will be to settle the claims of the doctors. The law provides that only $35,000 shall be paid for medical attendance, Of this sum Dr. Bllss already has Mled a bill for $25,000 and Dr. | burn for $8,500. Drs. Hamilton and Agnew have not yet submitted their accounts, Dut it 1s understood each will claim $15,000. These amounts will of course more than use up the appropria- tion, Irrespective of what Drs. Boynton and Edson may claim. ‘The former, it 1s said, will make no claim, Doctor Bliss has given a power of at- torney to a lawyer of this city to pro- secute his claim before the board. He will leave to-morrow for a month’s trip, extending as faras Mexico. Before filing his claim with the board of audit, Dr. Bilss advised Doctors Hamilton and Agnew of the amount he would claim. Dr. Agnew, before submitting his claim, is anxtous to have the board of audit determine whether or not Doctors Boyyton, Edson, Barnes and Woodward ex- pect toshare as benefictaries In the $35,000 appro- priated. Under no circumstances, no matter If not paid a dollar, will Drs. Agnew or Hamilton pro- ceed against the Garfield estate for a settlement. THE CLAIM OF DR, BLISS FILED WITH THE BOARD OF AUDIT. In presenting his account against the estate of the late President James A. Garfleld for profes- sonal services during his last illness Dr. D. W. Bilss, of this city, makes a statement of his con- nection with the case, in the course of Which he says that Dr. Reyburn was at the depot shortly after the shooting and was subsequently selected by himself (Bliss) as one of the permanent Counsel, with the concurrence of the President; that Dr. Reyburn rendered faithful and eMctent service Adamson if he took the note from Brady to Walsh. They proposed to prove thatthe page was not there, who was Supposed to have taken the letter, but admitted that Brady got the letter and wrote upon the back of it: “Will be there at 30,” for they had not undertaken to prove that that indorsement was not in Brady’s handwriting. French could have proved it, if it were not in Brady’s handwriting. Why had not Walsh fought for his notes? The reason Was that WALSH WAS IN BRADY'S POWER and knew the character of the man in whose power he was. . Walsh was a contractor, and that Toute had run up from $18,000 to $185,000. He stood with this route asking Brady to pay him back his money. Brady had it inhis power to ruin him. Had Walsh asserted his rights, Brady could have Tulned him with a scratch of a pen. His financial life was Brady’s breath. Knowing the malice and corruption of Brady, the only wonder is that Walsh ever demanded his money at all. Brady told him to sell his route and Walsh determined to try and sell it. When he came to bring sult he did not tell his counsel about the abduction of the notes, for he would have had to have recounted the whole interview and exposed the seandaL Brady would have come into court and sworn the case out of court, as he 1s now prepared to do with the aid of Walsh’s lawyer. As long as the scandal was not disclosed there wasa hope that Brady would pay the devt to prevent its disclosures. Did not the record con- firm Waish’s statement that Brady considered the petitions but mere matters of form. THE MOST ABSURD STATEMENT made by the defense was that the government of the United States had hired Walsh to swear as he did by remitting his fines. In the name of his country, he (Mr. Merrick) hurled back the foul slander In the teeth of the man that made it. It Was a foul libel upon the country that any man should be ashamed to make. _AS to the aspersion attempted to be cast upon Mr, Woodward, Mr. Me rick sald that there was not a more honorabie nan in the service of the United States than Woodward. He moved in an atmosphere that Would be destruction and death to tue other side. ‘That this great goverament should seek to influ- ence a withess 1n order to secure @ conviction was an aecusation he (Mr. Merrick) had never expect- ed to hear made, All that the government Wanted ‘was justice, THE RELATIONS BETWEEN BRADY AND BUELL Mr. Merrick proceeded to examine Buell’s story, and argued the absurdity of Walsh giving Buell $1,000 to protect him, when Brady was tho one on trial and in danger. It was shown that Buell was employed by Brady, and that he came here to swear for Brady as he sat on his seat as editor to libel for Brady the court, the counsel and the jury. Atter reviewing the relations between Buell and Brady, Mr. Merrick asked, which did the jury believe of the two—Buell or Walsh? Mr. Merrick referred to the card of Buell denying that he had ever received any money or valuable consideration to influence his action, public or private, while printing clerk of the Senate—a direct contradic- tion of Buell’s statement here. Bellet was a thing not regulated_by rules of law. It is a somethii that each man has through a process tha his mind adopts in reference to everything he sees or hears, and when they see a man on the dock, by a variety of things attending the giving of hts testimony, the jury would belleve or not believe him. In view of the circumstances attending the testimony, which would they belleve—Walsh’s testimony, sustained as it was, or Buell’s testi- mony, contradicted by himself, lame and haiting and unsustained? Buell, a man hired by Brady, or Walsh, an independent gentleman, injured by Brady, but not influenced by the government. RERDELL'S STATEMENT, as recited by Mr. MacVeagh, sustained Walsh’s testimony in every material point. It was not contradicted that Rerdell made the statement to MacVeagh. What motivethad he for making the statement if 1t were not true? Counsel on the other side sald he made the statement for the pur- pose of getting his father-in-law a small place worth $1,000 a year; that he did it for the pu of getting his Jen: ng’s Claim through, though that claim never was before the Attorney General. ‘They said Rerdell was so base a dog that he would go to the Attorney General and lie upon his old Associates, upon the man who gave him his daily bread, in order to get @ position for his father-in- law. They gave him a worse reputation than the prosecution gave htm—a baser heart, a more cor- Tupt nature than even he (Mr. Merrick) would give him in the discussion of this case. Mr. Merrick claimed that Rerdell’s statement and Boone’s tes- timony were identical as to the transactions that took place at the inception of this conspiracy. Did it not pe by the record that the contrac- tors made bids that nobody else would make? That they took them at losing prices? Did not the re- cords show that Brady increased and expedited them until they became largely, Temunerative? Was not that what Rerdell stated? There could have been no collusion about these statementa Vaile corroborated Rerdell about the division of the routes. Had they not found throughout this case how petitions and affidavits were necessary and how they were got up? Rerdell said when it Baler! epee (a Ae ie get up {tions ani natures they got up the signa- Pures th ves. Had that not been shown in testimony? Had they not kindly performed reciprocal forgery for one another? Rerdell said that aay, was to have a certain percentage, and Walsh had shown that that was a common understanding between Brady and these contrac- tors. Walsh was confirmed in what he said Brady had told him by what Rerdell told the Attorney General. Now. all these statements stood out in bold relfef, indistinct and unintelligible no longer, in the light that the records threw upon this case. Mr. Merrick showed that the figures given by Rer- dell to Mr. MacV% as a sample route, corres- ponded, exact existing on e route from Mineral Park to Pioche. If could have been a doubt as to the case after Mr. Bliss closed, when they came to fh fc the record testimony by that of Walsh, MacVeagh and James, there was no longer room for doubt. A recess was here taken. $e Ex-SenaTor Dorsey said last night that no more of the correspondence he had with ex-President Gurfleld would be made public for the present. After the termination of the star-route trial he will make public the letter in which he declined the Secretaryship of the Interior department. This letter was to the late President at Men- tor, and 1s dated at the ranche of Senator Dorsey in the — alter he had verbally declined the until the removal to Elberon, when, at the request of the President, he (Reyburn), together with Sur- geon General Barnes and surgeon Woodward, Were retired from the ease. Dr, Bilss continues? The gravity of the situation, the severity of the wound, and the unequaled responsibility resting upon US caused us to turn toward the eminent professional men of other cities. From among hem Were selected Dr. Frank H. Hamilton, of New York, and Dr. D- Hayes Agnew, of Phitadel- nia—men of the highest standing in surgery both in this country and abroad. They arrived on the morning of July 4th and remained in consultation With us all of that day. ‘They were ugain sum- moned on the 230, and from that time un- Ul the termination of the case were alternately In attendance three or four days ata ime, Toomuch cannot be sald of the indefatigable zeal and un- flagging devotion which marked the indispensable services of these three gentlemen, a8 Well as Lose of Drs. Barnes and Woodward. As for myself, I was sent for by the Secretary of War immediately atter the fatal shot was fired, arriving atthe depot a few moments thereafter and assumed temporary charge of the case. After a careful examination and full consultation with the medical gentlemen at this time present,(some six or eight in number,) the transfer to the White House was made. During that day and night and until the morning of the 34 four formal consultations were held. There were present at these conferences some ten or fifteen medical gen- Hemen, comprising many of the most eminent in this city. On Sunday a. m. I was formally placed in permanent charge by the President, and at his request immediately selected my counsel,with the Tull acquiescense of Mrs. Garfield, who declined to add one tothe number. * * * From that time troughout Iwas in daily and nightly attendance, with scarcely ever two con- secutive hours of rest. I personally prepared and administered all the nutrient enemata which were given every four hours, day and night, during a period of thirty-five days. I dressed the wount every time but one, (whep prostrated by septic fever.) Talmost alwhys supervised his baths and Superintended every movement of his body. He made himself dependent upon me personaliy for Many little attentions, for counsel and encourage- ment, ‘This unremitting strain upon mind and body, accompanted by Kss of sleep, produced the usual results. J lost thirty-eicht pouuds in welght and in addition was Infected with the Sepsis of the Patient, which caused secondary abscesses Lasting inore than three months afterward, Dr. Bliss contends that in estimating the value of his services the degree of responsibility should be considered, and that the task imposed upon him hag no parailel in this country, it indeed in the whole history of surgery ; that besides respon- sibility for a sktilful conduct of the case, the hopes and fears of the nation were, as a burden upon himself and assistants; that he had to entirely drop his private practice, and that the prostration of mind and body following the President’s death rendered him unable to resume professional work for months, and even then he was able to do but a small part of hts usual labor. He states that at the time the President was shot his professional income was $1,600 per month; the first month he fesumed practice after the Presidenv’s death was January, and his income was only $1,000, as against $2,500 for the same month of the previous ear. He estimates that his services to the Prest- ent cost him $15,000, and insists that he should not only be reimbursed but compensated, and he fixes the amount he fs entitled to at $25,000. Second Controller Upton 1s at present absent from the city, but he 1s expected to return in a few days, When a meeting of the board will be held to consider the claims presented. On THE INSTALMENT PLAN.—George Ayers, a sewing machine agent, was put on trial in the Police Court this afternoon on the charge of as- saulting an elderly 1ady named Marla Dupont, of No, 411 1ith street, who stated that she bought a machine from the agent for $45 on the instalment plan, and had already paid $22 on it, and last Sat- urday Cyening the defendant came {to collect the instalment due, and because she had not the amount to pay him he proceeded to take the ma- chine away. ‘She tried to prevent it, and the de- fendant caught hold of her in a violent way and struck her in the face, while hts colored man car- ried the machine out and put it in a wogon. The defendant stated that Mrs. Dupont struck him with a brush because he took the machine on ac- count of her not paying up the instalments. He sald that he had not sold the machine, but It 1 his custom to givea bill of sale when the full amount is paid. The court said_he didn’t exactly understand this mode of sales. He would fine him $5 or 15 days, because the Woman had a right to defend her own property.
