Judge Lawrence holds that the ap- propriation for salaries and compensation applies to the payment of all the officers and employes of the Institution, and that that appropriation was exceeded, although tho expenses of the institutton were within the limit of the gate appropria- tion. The controller is having a statement pre- pared, showing what alleged irregularities existed. He says that he does not, for a moment, imagine that there was any Intention of fraud, put that the matter Was nevertheless illegal SALARIES OF FourTH-cLass PosTmasTers.—Con- troller Lawrence has decided that the clause of the Dill passed to readjust the salaries of post- masters at the last session of Congress, relating to postmasters of the fourth-class, went into effect on March & Under thts deciston the sixth auditor will be obiged to open some 45,000 accounts Which have been settled under the ol law since March 2, and add from 8 per cent to 10 per cent to the pay of each postmaster after that aay, accord- ing to the amount, of stamps cancelled. ‘This in- crease will be maintained till October 1, when the reduced letter postage goes into effect, The effect of this decision has been greatly exaggerated, and it Will not effect the classes a3 has been pub- Ushed. ‘The compensation depends upon the receipts of four consecutive quirters. ‘The few stmasters that are advanced under this read- justinent can be set back under the readjustment in July, Gop, StuvER axp_Nores.—The statement of the U.S. Troasurer shows gold, silver and U. 8. notes in the Treasury to-day, as foHows: Gold coin and bullion, $189,405.38; sliver dollars and bullion, $10,053,060: fractional silver coin, $28,130,451; U.

A CHARACTERISTIC SPEECH BY THW LATTER LAUDING THE FORMER AND DENOU: THE “SNIVELERS, CHARLATANS AND HUMBUGG” WHO TRY TO PULL DOWN “BOSSES.” The May dinner of the New York Saturday Night club, in that city, Saturday evening, brought to- gether quite a gathering of distinguished men. Gen. Grant and ex-Senator Conkiing occupied the seats of honor oneach side the president of the club, Among the other guests were Senator Cam- den, Prof. Doremus, Henry Bavemeyer, Hon. Jonn H. Stann, Charles A. Sumner and-Judge Cullen. The notable speech of the Occasion was made by Mr. Conkling, who, looking di- rectly at Gen. Grant, referred. ‘to the Chicago convention of 1880 as “the occasion on which we met by fair means to nominate Gen. Grant for President,” He reflected, with beat a a, Conkling aten.’ . x viction that the defeat of country ten years. Hi Teferred to Grant as a “I it has become a word of in THE Stak several | The Star Boutg Trial RS HIS CAUSTIC REVIEW OF THE DANTS AS SET FORTH IN THE TESTIMONY. Mr, Bliss resumed his adress to the jury In the star route case this morning, and gave a review of testimony, referring to 8. W. Dorsey’s connection with tho routes. In the brief period of three months after he came lato possession of twelve of the routes embraced in this indictment orders for Increase or expedition, or both, were made on ten of them. ‘These routes, ‘originally let for $14,287,390, and for which the government was paying $30,362 When Dorsey took them, within three months after he came into ssion cost the government $154,004.82 a year. Thus the little investment he had'made in ostensibly buying out Peck and Joun W. Dorsey would have yielded him during the contract term nearly HALF A MILLION OF DOLLARS. Before Dorsey was detected and the robbery stopped by Messrs, MacVeagh and James he had got Tils routes up to $230,000 year. Dorsey had atched up an affidavit of Rerdell’s to form a pre- ense for removing Messrs. MacVeagh and James from the Cabinet. DORSEY HAD THE IMPUDENCR to come here and malign the memory of Garfeld by asserting that upon that aMfdavit Garfeld would have removed two members of his Cabinet. It waga part of the tmpudence that characterized these defenaants during the preliminary procesc- ings connected with this investigation. Mr. Bliss having referred to the refusal of Dor- sey and his counsel to produce the account books, which would at once have proved or disproved the genuineness of the memorandum containing the “Wm, Smith” entry, Mr. Bliss recited the sub- stance of the testimony of the defense offered for the purpose of inaking the impression that’ Rer- dell himself had written the important parts of the memorandum. There was no witness who had gone so far as to say that Rendell had written it. Mr, Bliss showed how these witnesses tothe hand- writing had contradicted themselves and shown that, they knew Iittle or nothing of either Dorsey’s handwriting or of Rerdell’s handwriting. THE FAILURE TO PUT SENATOR MITCHELL ON THE STAND, Inthe part of the memorandum which the de- fense claimed was not in Dorsey’s writing appeared a charge against J. H. Mitchell, then a United States Senator. Mr. Mitchell was here in court, Dut he was not placedon the stand. If Mr. Mitch: ell had been able to say that he never recetved a cent of money or had any transaction of the amount indicated with Dorsey, his testimony to that effect would have given the memorandum a Great deal worse black eye than any of the Wit- nesses to handwriting were able to give tt. Mr. Bliss, during his remarks about the hand- writing, said they had been deprived of the bene- ft of the testimony of Dorsey on the subject. He congratulated Mr. Dorsey on having been able to appear in court since without his ge ‘les, After the mid-day recess Mr. Bliss continued his remarks. SENTENCED FOR ASSAULTING AN OFFICER—To- day Richard Hill was tried In the spectal Criginal Court on the charge of assaulting OMficer Jeffres on February 7th, while the latter was engaged in arresting Wm. Carter on a charge of larceny. Hill acknowledged that he had been arrested before for pleking a pocket, and sald in answer to the question whether he had not escaped from the cell last Friday, “Of course I did. When the hall was open I went out, and I would have been a fool if I didn’t.” He was called up for sentence, ani asked the judge to spare him th> humiliation of the state prison, saying he would appreciate the kindness and be a better man in future. The court sald that the prisonev’s asscetates must pect oMcers. It would not do to send and he would therefore sentenc? him to one Year in the penitentiary of Erie county, N. ¥., and to pay a fine or #3, “Thank you,” sald the prisoner, —.__ Comsirren Suicipe is IpaHo.—A private ais- patch was received in this city to-day, from Den- ver, Col, anvouncing that Mr. F.
