Fron the Philadelph‘a Times, The two Dorsevs and Brady, the three most illustrious public thieves since the rolden days of Tweed, have locked horns with justice in the national capital, and proved themselves mightier than the iaw. The case presented by the government was 80 clear, so coinplete in every link, and so entirely conclasive as to the guilt of the Dorseys and Brady, and the fidelity of the judge to the honest administration of the law was so em- phatic, that the country had learned to hope for the majesty of Justice even in Washington; but the earlier apprehensions of the omnipotence of powerful and banded thieves have been fully realized by the conviction of two of the minor defendants, the acquittal of one against whom the government did not press the prosecution, and the disagreement of the jury as to the guilt of the chiet conspirators and criminals. Bribery Busi From the N. ¥. Hered. _—— The sensational statement ts made by Fore- man Dickson, of the star route jury, that somebody connected with the Department of Justice offered him twenty-five thousand dol- lars to vote for the conviction of Brady and ex- Senator Dorsey, while offers of only two and three hundred ‘dollara were made to the other jurors. Thiz bribery business must be probed to the bottom, and the guilty parties exposed and punished whether acting in the interest of the prosecution or the defense, whether trying to buy a verdict of guilty or one of acquittal. But Mr. Dickson's story is not only h improba- but it is very suspicious, especially in view at he is one of the two or three who the acquittal ot Brady and Dorsey on every ballot from first to last. To suppose that the government has undertaken to influ- ence the verdict improperly is absurd. chai The ve that the defense has attempted to bribe jury is entirely probable. What Mr. Dickson has every appearance of being a “put up ied for a special purpose. A thorough investigation of the matter Is likely to dainage, not the prosecution, but the defense. In the Pillory of Public Opinion, From the mond State. The published evidence will convince the great mass of the people of the guilt of Brady, the Dorseys, and others, and under the odium of a mistrial they will nave to still stand in the pil- lory of public opinion. Of Great Benefit to the American Peo- ple. From the N. ¥.

While we hear of the bribes that were refused We do not hear about the bribes that were per- haps accepted. Yet even with this the fact that the jory »d ten to two for the conviction of the chief offenders is almost equal to a verdict of guilty. It fixes an inetfaceable brand upon each of the conspirators.

Mr, Dickson's Peculiar Position. Washington Correspondence New York Herald. A promineut republican, whose position In public life entitles him to speak with emphasis, Wasasked what he thought of Mr. Dickson's posi- tiow in assailing the inteyrity of the Department of Justice. “Let us first state the will show you his position.

Nine of the twelve ates of Mr. Dickson, who nee. the arzuments and the charge of the court just as he did, also believed them to be suilty. as indicted. “With all this weight of noby Mr. Dickson was of opinion that neither Mr. Brady nor Mr. Dorsey was gulity. Yet this foreman of the j ury, with God only knows what for evidence in his pocket, pronounces the accused innocent aud their ac- cusers guilty of acrime never before charged against the government In its whole history— the crime ot embracery. That is Mr. Dickson’s position before the people of the United States to-day.” Net Equivalent to the Scotch Verdict, From the Phiiaderphis Ledger. ‘The resuit is not to be taken as lent to the Scotch verdict ‘‘not proven,” for the con- spiracy was proven to the satisfaction of all of the jury as to two of the conspirators. and to! the satisfaction of three-fourths or five-sixths or elever-twelfths of one asto Brady, the two Dor: and Vaile. this fact, that the peng vas proved to conviction on two of the conspirators, develops the point upon which the three jurymen who held out on 3.

The long triai in the star route cases has ended in substantial failure. Two insignificant the yortice being in @ny sense an interpret the as pital After the revelations minds Judge ceution were hard at work trying to corrupt the jury. A Ridiculous Disappointment. From the New York Graphic. The super carefully guarded net seems to have been torn somewhere, and the big fry have all escaped, only two tiny little fellows being hauled into Jail, probably because they were too weak to make an effort toescape. Nobody will, of course, deny that the jury did its very best to get the entire netful ashore, for its members have said it not once but several tines. Their work {8 a ridiculous disappointment all the same, though, and will go far to increase the general distrust of District of Columbia juries and discredit the jury system still more. ‘The Fault With the Jury. Prom the New York Sun. . Where the fault lies for this result is, perhaps, not entirely clear, but we are inclined to think that it must rest upon the jury. We do not see how the counsel for the prosecution could have done much morethan they did. The fact remains, however, that the net which was set for sharks has caught only minnows. ‘the Nine Jurors Not Responsible. Washineton Correspondence N. Y. Times. From whatever side this remarkable verdict is examined, its inconsistencies are manifest. But for these inconsistencies the nine jurors who voted for conviction are not responsible; they mast be borne by the three who at first refused to find any conspiracy, then con- victed two defendants of conspiracy, and at last steadfastly refused to vote tor the convic- tion of those who must have been the leaders of the conspiracy, if one existed, and without whose aid the two convicted defendants could not have carried out the purpose of the con- spiracy. ‘The Moral the Trial. From the New York World. The moral of the trial is, if it Is to. be drawn from the present condition of the case, that pilfering sixpence trom the government is a villainy of the deepest which will be visited with sharp retribution, but that whoever plun- ders the government on so great a scale that he can afford to spend some of the swag in electing republican President need only fear the impo- sition of a fine equal to the sum required to pay counsel and corrupt the necessary jurora. ‘The True Moral. ‘From the Pi teburg Leader. The true moral is that the governmental run- ning of the post office business of this great country, is a mistake, is an illegitynate function of the government, and obviously calculated to raise up a set of swindlers so politically and pe- cuniarily powerful that the machinery of popu- lar government, 18 not powerful enough to punish them. The “swag” which such men as Brady and Dorsey can get in a few years is so great that they can embarrass any court, cor- Tupt almost any jury, and escape thro’ the meshes of any law. A Caricature of Justice. From the N.¥. Mail and Express. The verdicts in the star route cases are amaz- ing, aggravating, contradictory and suggestive of the use of corrupt agencies. It is a carica- ture of justice to convict Rerdell, the secre- tary and tool of Stephen W. Dorsey, and to acquit the man who had the official and personal influence to the petitions for “ex, it~ ing” the mails, on which the “star routes” were created by Brady, with all their vast opportu- nities for plundering the government. Dickson’s Story. From the NewYork Trisess Foreman Dickson’s story as to the approaches made to him by an alléged employe of the De- partment of Justice is Tetian exlcaloted to di- Tect suspicion to its narrator than to the Attor- ney General, against whom {t isaimed.

From the Philadelphia Kecord. In view of the seltcontradietory verdict of the star-route jury in acquitting the principal conspirators and convicting the lesser offenders that story of Foreman Dickson of the attempt on behalf of the government to corrupt his virtue is exceedingly transparent. * * * The more the verdict of the star-route jarors is considered, and the circumstances leading up to it as detatled by the jurors themselves, the im- pression is confirmed that it was procured by ribery. Worse Than an Ort-and-out Conviction Wash neton specie to Boston Herald. Of course, everybody will see at once that the verdict brought in by the jury is worse for Brady and Dorsey than an out-and-out convic- tion would have been. There is always the possi ility of mistake about an honest convic- tion, but there can be none about a dishonor- able discharge as the result of a disagreement brought about by dishonest means. Intended to Divert Suspicion. ‘Washinton Correspondsnee Baltimore Sun. Little if anv credeitce is given to the state- mente that the government sought through its agents to obtain a verdict by any improper means, and all such assertions are believed to be intended to divert suspicion from those who were realiy engaged in the attempt to corrupt the jurors. Too Prominent To Meet a Felon’s Om. From the New York Journal of Commerce. This ict is not one of “not guitty,” or even of “not proven,” but simply of ‘not con- victed.” The guilt is established if the conspi- racy is proved, and there must theretore be some special reason why the principals in the affair were not convicted. That reason is so plain to the dullest apprehension that no jury need sit upon an inquisition for It. We gave it months ao as the reason why these prominent men would not be reached by the hand of justice. They are altogether too promiment to meet a felon’s doom, and whatever money was neces- sary to purchase the result must furnished and placed where it would do the most good. No Difficulty. From the Zanesville (Ohio) ier. Had the jury given strict attention to the evidence, and atteaded carefully tothe instrac- tions from the judge, there would have been no dificulty in finding that Gen. Brady and ex-Sen- ator Dorsey were the ringleaders in the con- spiracy to stealthe people's money. 3 ‘The First Thought. From the Boston Post. ‘They (the jury) cannot agree with the great mass of the people, with every honest man in the republic, that Dorsey and Brady have plun- dered the Treasury of hundreds of thousands of dollars. The first thought that comes into the mind of the average citizen is that the Jury has been tampered with, and it is more than prob- able that investigations now to be set on foot will show that to be a fact. A Practical Conviction, Washington Correspondence Boston Post. The ring and their friends are jubilant, but the sober-minded and ‘honest part of this com- munity regard the extraordinary verdict as a practical conviction of allthe defendants who were arraigned except Turner, against whom the government had no case. Not the Most Grave Consideration, From the Providence Journal. Nor again, is the amount of money said to have been fraudulently obtained the most grave consideration. That .which the people are thinking of is whether the public affairs are honestly conducted. Is it possible to cheat the government with impunity; and is the conduct of any department such as to incite fraud? Whether there shall be another trial or not is for the government to decide. We do not think it necessary in order to an intelligent and honest opinion as to the guilt or innocence of the de- fendants as yet undisposed of. What Distinguishes Bowen from the’ Rest of the World. From the N. ¥. Trath. Foreman Dickson, of the star route jury, tells atale which is so improbable on its face that we cannot credit it. It {s not reasonable to be- lieve that the Department of Justice would offer a bribe for the conviction of the defend- ants, and if it did it is very certain that it would not select as its agent a man like Henry A. Bowen. ee Bowen fs one of those men whose names ex- cite derision. Bowen is a man whose word is not as good as his bond, and his bond is good for nothing. * * * Whether or not he isa special agent of the Department of Justice, Bowen is just the man to assume the role of a jury-fixer. The audacity with which Bowen talks of thousands, when he has not acent in his pocket and is not sure of his dinner, is one of those characteristics which distinguish him from the rest of the world. The only wonder is when he undertook to play the part of jury-tixer that he did not offer $100,000 instead of $25,000 for the conviction of the defendants. If he offered any money it is clear to our mind that it was offered to be useful to instead of against the defendants. : Stealing the Liycery of Heaven. From the Philadelphia North American, Stealing the livery of heaven to serve the devil in about fits the case of aman who would dare to assume to be the emissary of the Attor- ney General on an errand of corruption. * * * The newspaper press voicing the opinion of the is substantially unanimous in de- nouncing the verdict as a monstrous miscarriage ofjustice, and as anincomprehensible compound. of absurdities and contradictions. A Shameful Failure of Justice. From the New York Herald. The result of the star route trial is a scanda- lous failure of justice well calculated to arouse popular indignation everywhere. That the pub- lic treasury has been robbed in the most shame- ful manner, that it was robbed for yeara and of untold sums of money by a ring of plunderers, is a notorious fact. if the men who have just been tried for these frauds are not guilty nobody is guilty. If they are not to be punished nobody can be punished. Will Dorsey Resign? From the Philadelphia Press, Is Dorsey going to resign his position as sec- retary of the national committee, or does he preter to be branded thief and drummed out of camp to the tune of “The Rogue’s March?” * * * Maybe Brady got his disagreement, as he claims to have made his fortune, by tele- phone. There is great power in the electric current, and it 1s being put to new uses every day. * * * Attorney General Brewster would be a bad man to undertake to “fix” a jury. He has gone too long without learning how. Political Capital for the Democrats. Wi jorrespondence of the Richmond Stte. itis thought that great political capital will be made out of the trial by the democrats, as Brady and Dorsey were thesmen who carried Indiana for the republicans in the last presiden- tial campaign, and it wili be made to appear that the money stolen from the government was used for political purposes. At the Door of the Jury-System. From the Philadelphia Evening Star. 5 "At all events the responsibility tor the failure of justice, if failure there has been—and this is certainly popular opinion—rests, not with the Attorney General or his faithful assistants, whose zeal has been untiring in the trial. The blame should rather be put where it essentially belongs—at the door of our jury-system, where- by it is possible for one man—even an honest man—to “hang” eleven others. Why Foreman micnsen Was Anxious ell, From the Phila, Evening Telecraph. ‘The truth is, that the atmosphere of Washing- ton is poisoned by official dishonesty.
