WASHINGTON, D. C., SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 1882. TWO CENTS. 2d EXTRA. DISMISSED OFFICIALS. — THE CHARGES UPON WHICH THE DISMISSALS WERE MADE. —————— REPORT OF ATTORNEY GENERAL BREWSTER TO THE PRESIDENT. SEVERE ARRAIGNMENT OF THE DELIN- QUENT OFFICIALS. The following is the report of Attorney General Brewster to the President in which he sustains the charges made in the original re- port of Colonel George Bilss to the President, and asks for the dismissal of the officials named, and gives the grounds upon which the request is made: DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, WASHINGTON, D. C., NOV. 24, 1862 To the President of the United States: Stk—The letter of George Bltss, counsel for the United States in the star route trials, addressed to you, dated Nov. 11th, 1882, referred to me by your order, has been carefully constdered. The facts set forth in it are not new tome. From consid- erations of legal, as well as official policy, I have thus far abstained from calling your attention to these matters. Tam much better satisfled that Mr. Bliss, acting as counsel in the case, of his own motion, has sub- mitted to you the subject therein dealt with. Since I received the letter Mr. Merrick and Mr. Ker, col- leagues of Mr. Bitsa, called upon me and Invited my attention to the subject in the same manner that Mr. Bliss has In the letter written by him to you. It ts my opinton that the ends of justice have been interfered with by all of the persons com- plained of by Mr. Bliss, Mr. Merrick ana Mr. Ker. The marshal of the District 1s responsible for much of the opposing sentiment to the case of the government tuat was exhibited in court and out of court during the trial of the star route case, His negligent and Irregular conduct in selecting the talesmen I strictly objected to at the ‘time and so intormed him. The pubife interview that he was gullty of, and referred to by Col. Bltss, 18 one that must subject him to theseverest censure. Asan officer of the court and an officer of the government he was gullty in this of an offens: which has been punished by courts as a gross act of contempt I recommend his immedi- ate removal He 1s an unsuitable _per- son and has —Injuriously —_— interfered with the proper conduct of this star route case, and given his personal sympathy and the sympa- thy of his office to the indicted defendants. Second.—D. B. Ainger, the postmaster of this city. and his assistant, Myron M. Parker, are Justly subject to all the charges presented by Mr. Bliss, and I think they should be removed. No men holding public appointments should be per- mitted to use the influence and power of their positions as they have used theirs, or be permitted to interfere with such prosecution, or any prosecution urged by the government in vindication of the law. Third.—The man Helm, recently appointed to the head of one of the departments in the Public Printing Office, is by law (sec. 3,765) incapable of holding that office, inasmuch as he controls a pub- lc newspaper; but I will further add that the Paper he controls (as to which con- trol positive evidence was given upon the trial of the cause), is a paper notoriously and. confessediy owned by one of the defendants; a defendant the most culpable of all, since it was by hig oficial criminal malfeasance the corrupt orders were made, and the frauds successfully perpe- trated. His paper had been engaged from the be- ginuing of these prosecutions down to the dls- charge of the jury In the most violent abuse of all who were suyposed to be interested in bring- ing the defendants to justice. The judge was not even spared; the counsel were persistently slandered; and the witnesses were openly assaulted, denounced, and terrorized by one continuous current of per- Sonal abuse and calumny. Iam of the opinion that this man should be forthwith removed; and I am astonished that those who have charge of the Government Printing Office, with the public knowledge of these facts, should have ventured to appoint Lim. He ts not aman to be trusted in the Tesponsible position he holds. Fourth.—In conjunction with Mr. Bliss, I re- Spectfully call your attention to the conduct of George E. Spencer. Upon the day of your departure from this city immediately after the adjournment of Congress, @ communication by Mr. Bliss and the other coun— sel in the case was sent through me, lodging with you a complaint against George E. Spencer. ‘Those papers did not reach you at that time. This Was during the latter weeks of the trial; in fact, the evidence had closed and counsel were address- ing the jury. Those papers are now before you. Mr, Bliss, by his letter, which you have referred tome, called your attention to them. By them it ‘appears that Mr. Spencer is a delinquent and ab- Sconding witness; that he can testify to material and important facts; and that he left this ctty and has ever since secreted himself and avoided the process of the law. He holds an important public position, and 1s the last man who should hesitate to be present in court to testify in a case of this magnitude, and in which the honor of the government and the administration of public Justice is concerned; and because of his censur- able delinquency, I unite with Mr. Blis3 and the other counsel in the case, In asking his immediate ! removal. ‘Time enough has been given him to appear and explain. Not one word has been heard from him, and he has disappeared agit he were dead. I have directed the most thorough search to be made for him, and thus far no trace of him can be found. That search will be persisted in, and if ie can be had he will be had, and brought into court, and made to answer for hls acc of gross contempt and disobedience, and obliged to testify to those facts which are within his knowledge, an¢ are so essential to maintain the prosecution of the de- fendants. Fitth.—George 0. Miller, one of the Police of the District, in a recent judictal inquiry, with the audacity of a criminal, confessed under oath that he had been engaged and retained in the service | of the defendants In the star route case, and had persistently assisted them during the current of the trial. Because of this confession so made by him, I applied tothe Commissioners of this Dis- trict to remove him. That removal has taken place. Sixth.—All of the other matters alluded to in the letter by Col. Bliss have before been disposed of, and so I have no occasion to conalier them. In connection with this reference made to me, I will further report that in the public prosecution of -this star route case, and in presenting the indict ments as yet untried to the grand jury, I have been aided by the vigorous, upright, and able help given by Mr. Bliss, Mr. Merrick, and Mr. Ker. I had tn- tended to have been present in person during the whole trial, but as I have before thts orally re- ported to you, the other duties of my office and my department required so much of my time that I case. Ithought thts was necessary as an act of duty to the administration of public justice and to show the people of the United States that the government was in earnest and desired justice should be done. I have never forgotten your instructions on my first accepting office, to pursue these cases with vigor and rigor, so that the innocent should be acquitted if clearly innocent, that the gullty should be punished if clearly gullty, and that there must be no half-hearted sentiment in the purpose of the government and its officers in this prosecution. After serious and prolonged deliberation over all ‘the details of the case my investigations satisfled me thatthe men who were indicted were gullty men, and merited the extreme punishment of the law. They had projected, under cover of official power, and under color of official authority a systematic plan of deliberate robbery of the public treasury. To carry out that plan they had lad their hands upon a fund dedicated by law to great public service, a service that 1s consplc- uously one of the fruits and causes of our clviliz1- tion, our social comfort, our commercial prosperity our nattonalgrowth. Millions of that money they perverted to their own private gain, and divided it for thelr own personal purposes. It was a con- dign act of infamous conspiracy, and, as suchs deserves the severest punishment the law can inflict. Such>men are traitors to soctal and official duty, and they are public ene- mies, against whom the authority of the law must be exerted without hesitation or reluctance. The higher their past position, the greater their sin, the sterner must be their punishment. I desire to call your attention to the fact that the officers of the law and those who have dl- rectly been alding me in the discharge of my duty in this business, have been from the first encircled with snares, pitfalls and every species of vile device that could be invented to harm them, hinder their usefulness and prevent the ad- ministration of justice. Some portions -of this community, who surround these defendants, who have enjoyed,or do still enjoy minor official post- tions, know no allegiance to any one but this band of robbers, and render no service to any one but these eviljemployers. From motives of gain, or other corrupt considerations, they are saturated with affinities for these bad men, and they have contributed, by every means in ther power, at the bidding of their masters, to obstruct public Justice, and to defame its officers, with the hope of Securing the acquittal and escape of the worst band of organized scoundrels that ever existed since the’commencement of the government. Very respectfully, * BENJAMIN HARRIS BREWSTER, Attorney General. ————_-e- = THE SUCCESSORS TO THE RE- MOVED: OFFICIALS. The President has not yet designated any one to succeed the officials removed to-day. Mr. Henry will continue to hold the office of Marshal of the District of Columbia until his successor 1s appointed, and the remaining vacan- cies will be filled on Monday. Telegrams to The Star.

Chamberiain, the principal in the fraudulent transactions, 13 supposed to be in this city, and the police ‘are looking him up. ———— Investigating “ Corners.” New York, Nov, 2.—The Senate committee on corners in grain, etc, met again to-day. Mr. W. E. Ferguson testified that he bullt ocean. ships for grain transportation. He remembered but one corner in grain—that of Keene’s in 1880. The effect was to lock up a number of salting ships, Which could not procure freight, thus making the fleet useless. When a corner turned prices often fell below real values, but that was soon checked by the export demand which tmmedtately co: menced when the prices approached the. shipping int. Capt. E. Hincken, ship broker, thought it legitimate to anticipate the condition of the market. He has known of a contract. which bore sixty-four endorsements, no actual delivery hav- ing been made. If any one combination could control the produce of the country then he thought legislation would be needed. Mr. Henry W. Kaye testified that. during the Keene corner, which lasted for months, his firm had 120 vessels unclur- tered. It was disastrous to shipping, and he favored legislation. — New York Bank Statement.

THE BOOTHS AND WHO ARE IN CHARGE OF THEM. a The National Art and Industrial Exposition for the benefit of the monument fund was formally opened at the Capitol at 2 o'clock this afternoon. The doors were opened to the public at 1 o'clock, at wich hour the strains of the Marine bund, en- sconced in the shell on the east portico, began to fill the great spaces of the rotnnda with delicious harmony. The formal opening was conducted ac- cording to the following program: The President ot the United States and the Cabinet, the Clef and Assoclate Justices of the Supreme Court of the United States, in their robes of office, the Diplomatic Corps in court costume, the General of the Army and his staff, the Admiral of the Navy and his staff, and the Rev. F. D. Power as- sembled in the Senate wing of the Capitol, where they were met by the following committee from the board of direction: Messrs. J. W. Thompson, H. A. Willard, D. B. Anger, A. E. Bateman, Com- missioner West, Gen. Swaim, Col. Corbin and Gen. Hazen. At2p. m. the President, attended by the Cabinet, Justices of the Supreme Court, the Diplo matic Corps, the General of the Army, the Ad- miral of the ‘Navy, and their respective staffs, and Chaplain Power entered the rotunda, ‘The Marine band rendered a selection and a prayer was offered by Mr. Power. ‘The President then declared the fair duly opened to the public. By direction of Mr. Thompson, chairman of the board of directors, the rotunda’ was cleared at half past one o'clock. The dals at the entrance to the music hall was set apart as the place where the President and his Cabinet should stand. Before two o'clock the’eastern half of the ro- tunda was cleared by the police, and the other halt consequently was densely trowded. When the President arrived he was escorted by Mr. John W. Thompson, chairman of the board of directors. ‘Then followed Rey. Mr. Power, and the members of the Cabinet, the Supreme Court, diplomatic corps, army and navy officers, the Garfield Guard of Honor ‘and members of the Society of the Army of the Cumberland, and a number of members of Congress, includ! 2. tors Logan, Jones (Fla.) and Sherman, Kelfer and’Representative Neal, of Ohio. ‘The Art Exposition, THE ROTUNDA TI ‘D INTO 4 GALLERY OF PAINTINGS: AND STATUARY—A FINE COLLECTION OF ART OB- JECTS—THE POTTERY EXHIBITION—THE CENTRAL TEMPLE AND THE SHELL FOR THE BAND. The rotunda, which has been reserved for the art exposition, makes a grand exhibition room. The committees tn charge have availed themselves of the fine opportunities offered for effective deco- ration. The circular walls have been draped with maroon-colored cloth to a height some distance above the historic paintings set fn the walls. ‘This Speaker forms the backtng upon which the paintings on exhibition are hung. The central ornament of the hall, standing on the spot where a little over @ year ago the remains of President Garfield lay in state, is, ‘A BRONZED GOTHIC TRMPLE: This contains a colossal bust of Garfleld, about the base of which are placed living plants. Hang- ing above the bust isa swinging lantern of hand- some design, which 1skept burning. This temple, which was planned by Mr. Fraser, the architect, who planned all of the decorations of the hall, is poe fea 8 inehes In diameter. ‘The ftoor ts. elevated two steps above the tiled floor of rotunda, and the temple rises twenty-six feet above the upper step. There are four sections, taking up each a quadrant of the circle, leaving passages for aisles. he southeast quarter ts devoted to the pottery exhibition, the southeast to the American Bank Note Com, y, the northeast to the statuary, and the northwest to Sarony, the New York photog- rapher. Between these sections and the wall is left an ample passage way. THE EXHIBITION OF PAINTINGS is considered very creditable. The art committee (Messr3. March, Brown, Andrews, and Holmes) have used the material placed at their disposal to the very best advantage. The electric lights tn- troduced into the rotunda bring out the rich beau- tles of the paintings at night quite as effectively as daylight. The exhibition 1s worthy of praise, both for the number and quality of the paintings. While, of course, there are many pleces of but or— dinary merit, there are a number which would add luster to any collection. Many of the paintings have already been noted in THe STAR.

The exhibitions made by the American Bank Note Company and Ssrony, the photographer, at- tract much attention. The space back of the steps entering the rotunda from the west has ‘Deen filled with the donation of fatence pottery from Messrs. D. F. Haynes & Co., of Baltimore, A very interesting adjunct to the rotunda ts the shell erected on the east portico for the band. It is so constructed that the sound 1s thrown into the rotunda. It 1s shell shaped, and the tntertor 1s tastefully orna- mented. A dado, ornamented with stencil work, Passes around the base, and the upper part or canopy has been printed ‘sky-biue, spangled with stars. This structure ts 22 feet high and 2 feet in Glameter. There is a platform in the center for Prof. Sousa, and seats for the musicians arranged in the form of an amphitheater. The round ante-room between the rotunda and Statuary hall has been given up to the Homer Lee bank note company and Brady, the photographer. The bank note company have a very interesting and handsome exhibit of foreign securities and specimens of commercial engraving, besides the inaugural ball tickets, the Garfleld memorial tick- ets, the Masonic memorial tickets, the Garfleld fair tckets and the fair diplomas—ail of which were engraved by this company and are considered fire Specimens of work. Mr. Brady has a score or more of fine photographs of historic Interest, as they Were taken i each instance from the’ original.

Leaving the rotunda, with its tmmensities of Space and treasures of art, making an impression of cold stateliness and chilly magnificence upon the mind, the Visitor 13 lost in the current of a bustling throng and carried along towards statuary hall with a rush. The babel of volces grows louder and the contrast 13 almost as great as if one had passed from the quiet peace and calm of aside street into a busy avenue teeming with the life and activity of a great city. The change ts inspir- ing. While the lingering” before the landscap: and the life studies of the painters has been sus- gestive of thought, and while the exhibits of the Skillful artificers ‘in gold and silver and the pro- ducts of the potters’ wheel covered with the tasty designs of the latest phase of decorative art has appealed to the artistic sense which, more or less developed, exists in every breast, yet the busy world, with its shifting panorama of faces and forms, its bustling activity, and its. merry laughter has more irresistible attractions for the Many.
