DECISION OF CONTROLLER LAWRENCE AGAINST THE DISTRICT COMMISSIONERS IN A FEE CasR.—By dl- rection of the Commissioners of the District, an agreement was made with an attorney in March, 1881, by which he was _pald $300 to take charge of and prosecute the case of the Washington and Alexandria railroad company, then pending in the courts of Virginia, and was to receive 23¢ per cent. of the amount realized by the suit, in addition to that sum, for his professional services, Judge Lawrence, first controller of the Treasury, has decided that the agreement to pay the attorney 2% per cent of the amount realized by the suit is iflegal, because the law requires all revenues of the District trom taxes or otherwise to be paid into the Treasury of the United States. PENSION Staristics.—A statement prepared by the Commissioner of Pensions shows that during the fiscal year ended June 30, 40,939 original claims for pensions and 34,148 claims for in ¢rease of pension wore filed.

The total amount paid for pen- sions during the year, including the cost of dis- bursement, was $54,206,280.54. ‘The total number of pensioners on the roll is 285,697, a gain over the previous year of 16,867. The total amount patd by Ue government for pensions from 1791 to 1861 was $81,480,455.50. ‘The total amount paid trom 1861 to June 30, 1882, Was $560,641,821.75. Ou’ of this amount and since 1871, $25,234,242.85 has been paid to the survivors of the war of 1812 and tothe Widows of those who served during that war.

"As a citizen of the United States, I demand from you protection against the venomous, malicious and contemptible assaults upon my private character by your principal assistants and the officers of the Department of Justice for daring to perform a sworn duty according to my honest convictions of right and justice.” WHAT MR. DICKSON SAY. Mr. Dickson’s letter to the Attorney General was delivered by messenger to Mr. Ker, from whom Mr. Dickson required a receipt. Mr. Dickson said toa Star reporter that under the circumstances he did not propose to place any confidence tn the Department of Justice. Mr. Merrick, he said, in his Investigation had sent for all tho Jurors ex cept himself, notwithstanding he had expressed a desire in court to publish the facts. He did not think such action on the part of Mr. Merrick indi- ted that that gentleman really wanted light. hat Assistant District Attorney Moore . Says. Mr. Charles S. Moore, of the district attorney's office, who has spectal charge of the investigation of the alleged attempts to bribe the star route Jurors, said to a SraR reporter to-day that it would. probably be some time before the matter is brought into court In any way. The authorities were pro- ceeding carefuliy,examining witnesses and sifting every fact, with the view of presenting to the court none but well-established cases. A Legal Anomaly, A prominent member of the Washington bar said toa Srar reporter to-day that the star route lawyers were just getting into deep water. An appeal pending tn the cases of Rerdell and Miner, and a retrial pending in the cases of the others ‘will present a legal anomaly. Evidence to Corroborate Walsh, It 1s stated that when the grand jury meets, or the next grand jury is organized, the matter con- cerning Senator Kellogg, Brady, and Price, the contractor, will again be‘brought up, as the prose- cuting officers have discovered evidence to strengthen and corroborate Mr. Walsh. Charges Against a Star Route Juror. During the star route trial, when the conduct and record of the jurors were matters of much scrutiny, affidavits were filed with the Depart- ment of Justice, indicating that William Brown, the colored man who held out for the acquittal of Brady and Dorsey, recelye. a bribe in a three- card monte case tried just before the star route case was called. This case will be, it 1s stated, laid before the grand jury. Walsh and Dickson WHAT THE FORMER HAS TO SAY ABOUT THE BEN- NER VOUCHERS AND THE M’DONOUGH DRAFT. Our reporter meeting Mr. John A. Walsh last evening in a casual way asked him if he had seen Mr. Dickson’s comments on him in relation to his connection with the Benner vouchers, elicit- Ing the following in response s, [have read Mr. Dickson's remarks ag to why It was that he affected not to belleve my tes timony; but really the reasons as given by him are of So ridiculous a character that they do not warrant any notice from ime, and. but for his re concerning the Benner vouchers I do not know that I would ave lost any time in replying, rtlcularly as not one statement made by lm 13, rue.” “What about the Benner voucherst” asked the reporter. $a banker,” sald Mr, Walsh, “I discounted Lieutenant Benher’s pay, and lave the sald vouchers to this day; they are, of course, unpaid. Lieutenant Benner, you will ‘remember, died of yellow fever while tn command of the boat for the relief of the yellow fever sufferers, but I prefer that you speak to Mr. Shekell, who Was my clerk at the time, and is cognizant of all the facts in the case.” “Did you ever talk to Dickson about the pay- ment of the Benner vouchers by that committee of which he was the secretary?” “No, I did not,” sald Mr. Walsh; “Mr. Shekell took the vouchers to the committee; and aguin I refer you to him for what transpired. “Did you know Dickson in New Orleans?” asked the reporter. “No, sir,” sald Mr. Walsh, “Dickson has been represented as saying that he knew you there,” said the reporter. “Yes,” replied Mr. Walsh; “ne has said also that the republic, through its Attorney General, tried to bribe him to render verdict. “A man compe- tent to vote as iMogically as he did 1s quite capa- ‘ble of making most any statement.” “When did you first become acquainted with him?” “Some time in 1878, I think. He brought to me a postal draft for sale, drawn by Mail Contractor George L. McDonough and endorsed by D. ©. For- ney, for about $600, a draft which he subsequently told me he was satisfied was hardly regular.” “What do you mean?” asked the reporter. “Well, he gave me to understand that he was satisfied Forney had no money to buy it; that {t was, In his opinion, given by McDonough to For- hey for the latter’s influence with Brady. “How,” asked the reporter, “did he come to make this statement?” “He mentioned thisto me to have me under- stand why it was that I could have obtained a greater discount than Thad, In fact, the impres- Sion left on my mind was that he (Dickson) had tried to sell the draft to other bankers, but could not. I thought Mr. Dickson pretty well informed as to the workings of the Post Office department, and his vote tends to confirm that opinion.” ge Out of Door Sports. THE OCTOBER REGATTA ON THE POTOMAC. There was a meeting of the conference commit tees of the District boat clubs last evening to make final arrangements for the October regatta, It was decided to invite Mr. J, H. Watts, of Batti- more, to actas referee. Mr, Watts 1s well known in Washington, and.his selection will give general satisfaction. ‘The order of race was settled as fol- lows: Juntor single scullers, sentor single scullers, junior fours, senior fours, nnd light weight fours. ie Faces will begin at 1:30p.m.,October 4, and the last race will be ‘started at 4:3) p. m. promptly, ‘The entries will close on the 2d inst. It was decided that the Kimball single scull race, which took place last tall, was an open race, and those who participated in it, ing to the rules, are senior oarsmen. A third letter has been received from Mr. Sau- nier, the secretary of the National Amateur Asso- ciation, to the effect that an oarsman who parlicl- pates tn an open race for sweeps does not necessa— rily become a senior oarsman unless he is a winner in that race. He thus reconciles the contradicto: definitions of a junior oarsman in his former let ters by acknowledging that he made a mistake in one of them. BASE BALL YESTERDAY.

It will be remembered that last Tuesday a young man, named Robert Williams, residing on 6th street, between G and H streets, was In the Police Coart on the charge of having assaulted Valentine Dengle, a private watchman on 7th street, near @, the previous night, and was released on giving bonds to await the results of the injuries. It is alleged that young Williams was intoxicated at the time, and meeting Dengle took his club from him and gave him a severe blow on the face with his fist, from the result of which the old man fell, striking the back of his head on the pavement. Dengle was taken to his home, No. 148 H street northeast, and Dr. D. B. Street was called and found that Dengle’s skull had been fractured. Yesterday Mr. Dengle became paralyzed, and died about seven o'clock last evening. AS soon as it was known that he had died. Sergeant Brosnan and Officers Offutt and Montgomery went to Williams’ house and took nim into custody. He declined to make any state- ment, saying that he had been advised by his counsel, Mr. W. A. Cook, to make no statements to reporters. Mr. Dengle was about 58 years of age, and a tailor by trade, but becoming apes in the hands he some years ago gave up the business and made his living as a watchman. Williams Is about 24 years of age. THE INQUEST. At 11 o'clock this morning Dr. Hartigan per- formed an autopsy on the body at the house, find- Ing, as has been stated, a fracture of the skull. At noon Dr. Patterson, the coroner, swore a jury of inquest at the house, and they repaired to the seventh precinct station house, where the testi- mony was taken. Mr. Randolph Beresford testified that about 9 o'clock Monday evening, just north of the corner of7th and F streets, he saw three men opposite the Lichau house, and one struck another, the one receiving the blow falling on the pavement. The man who did the striking was at once arrested and the man who received the blow was carried into the Lichau house. Saw the one who struck the blow after he was arrested; could not say pos!- tvely that Williams was the party who did the Striking. Did not know what deceased was struck with ;thought tne blow was about the face; heard no peta Spoken; tt was near the door of the Lichau Ouse, John Castagnett testified that he was sitting on a chalr in front of his store, 609 7th street, on Mon- day night; heard a colored woman say that there Was a inan lying on the pavement and went down. when he saw Dengle sitting on the pavement and Williams | was standing there looking at him. Dengie asked,“*What did you knock me down for?” Williams said he aid not do it. Dengie got up and walked in the restaurant at the corner and re- mained in there a few minutes, Witness vuhen walked to his place and.
