Walker, 34 cavalry, who ts well known in this city, and who has, at different times, caused trouble by his eccentric actions, has been heard from again. Only a short Ume ago he was courtmartialed and censured for borrowing money from enlisted men and not re- paying them, Now word. comes to the War de- partment that he has left his post without leave, refusing to do any more duty, and is now wander- ing about New Mexico. He will be arrested and brought back to his post (Fort Apache) and exam- ined “by a medical board. War department om- ctals are at a loss to know how to treat him, has been confined In an asylum, having been only & few years ago an Inmate or St Elizabeth, but was released by a writ of habeas corpus, and if again treated as insane the same action will prob- ably be taken.

DECISION IN FAVOR OF THE NORTHERN PACIFIC Rat_way.—Judge Lawrence, first controiler of the Treasury, has rendered an opinion on the question whether the Utah and Northérn Ratlway company ts entitled to payment for carrying the mails of the United states. He decides that the company 4s entitled to payment, and that the auditor of the ‘Treasury for the Post ‘Office department erred in refusing to certify a balanoe as due and payable to the company, $2,016.18, and the auditor 1s there- fore directed to certify a balance due of that sum, to be paid by proper warrant of the Postmaster General ‘THe MARBLE for the Washington monument from the quarries of the Lee Marble Co., of Massa- chusetts, has not yet. been received.

He was removed for cause. ‘The reasons will be furnished to the ate if the president of the Senate should deem the matéerof sufiicient con- sequence.” Tne CASE OF THE CADET ENGINEERS.—The re- hearing of the case of Cadds Engineer Leopold againt the United States, in the Court of Claims, which Was set down for yestérday afternoon, was Postponed until Friday.” Upon this case depends the status of more than forty young cadet engi- neers. Secretary Chandler ruled that the act of August, 1882, affected the cadet engineers as well asthe naval cadets, and that they were still un- dergraduates and entitled to the pay of naval ca- dets only, instead of the higher rate of pay (that of cadet engineers) which they had been recelv- ing. A test suit in the Court of Claims by Cadet Engineer Leopold to recover cadet engineer's pay Was decided in his favor, and the cadet engineers sent a petition to the Secretary of the Navy ask- ing him not to act finally in thetr case until Con- gress could have an opportunity of speaking, or until the United States Supreme Court could ‘de- elde whether the Court of Claims was right or Wrong. ‘To that petition Secretary Chandler has Sent reply, in which he says he cannot, consist- enuy with’ his convictions of public duty, grant the request of the cadet engineers, ConGREssMAN Pub.

The Hill investigating committee resumed its session at ten o’clock thts morning. Mr. Thomas, counsel for Mr. Hill, objected to the charges filed by Mr. Murch Gis the ground that they are not specific and definite, whereupon Mr.Coleman,coun- sel for Mr. Murch, submitted the specific charge that in 1877 Mr. Hill entered into certain contracts which were grossly unfair to the government, in that he agreed to certain contractors far in excess of the real value of the materials fur- nished and the work to de performed. AN EXPERT WITNESS. In support of this charge Wm. G. Stinemetz, of New York, (expert,) was called to testify relative to the construction of the public bullding in Phila- delphia. Ho explained to the: epmmittee the dit- ference between quarry dimensions and net di- mensions, the former being theecubic dimensions of astone as taken from the quasry, and the latter the cubic dimenston based upon the 5] which the stone will occupy in a building. Mr. Stinemetz stated that in making contracts it was the custom to stipulay net dimensions, nia building, Mr. In the case of the Phil Hill had contracted for dimensions, and in this wi Ny had com ied the government to pay greatly in excess of the market value of the stone actually used. He further testified that he had made computations trom the plans (furnished nim by the architect’s office) of the Philadelphia build- ing of the actual cost of several of the stones and the market value of the same, based upon their true or net dimensions. He instanced as exam- ples—explaining from the drawings—one stone which cost the government 35,15 (contract price), being $58.29 in excess: of the true value of the stone, and another, the government $129.87, where the actual owing 50 per eae Ay the cont uld have es qu , the excess, pald by the governme Ubls instance being $73.11, ¥ = Mr. Stinemetz stated that if time was allowed him he could, by computing edch stone, show the aggregate amount: id ne vernment tor val Tir Coleman stated to the committee that tt was the pu of the prosevution in the case of this Philadelphia, bul to the gmount of Gontraca, had beeo compen to payin exes of cont com) oO tho market value of the g used; that the computations were neceasariiy slow, and that fur- ther time would be required pefore golng on with this branch of the investigation. x ADJOURNED TILL MONDAY.

Mr. Merrick this morning began the sixth day of his closing argument before the jury inthe star route trial. He said the design of the prosecution in introducing Walsh's testimony was to show | that It was Brady’s habit to charge compensation for his ofMfictal orders. He did not doubt that dii- | ferent arrangements were made with different | contractors. He may not have exacted twenty percent from all. Mr. Merrick then proceeded to discuss the constituents of a conspiracy as defined by different authorities. THE DOCTRINE OF CONSPIRACY. Mr. Merrick, during his discussion of the doc- trine of conspiracy, presented seven postulates, which he desired the court to embrace in the charge to the jury. ‘These were substantially as follows: That forgery 1s a crime under the law; that to alter in any particular, after it has been j signed, a paper authorized by the law {s a forgery; toile such "a forged paper is a crime; to flea false oath or affidavit {s criminal; the fiting of a false or forged paper with a design to deceive tsa | crime under the statute; the presentation of any claim to a department, when the person filing knows the claim to ba traudulent, 13 a crime; and the presentation uf a claim founded on fraud tsa c When Mr. Merrick read his first postutate Judge Wylie asked lim if these transactions complained of came under THE TECHNICAL DEFINITION OF FORGERY. Mr. Merrick said that he would hold that the filling of blank affidavits and writing names in petitions was a forgery. “You may find some diMculty in maintaining that proposition,” sald Judge Wylle; “but cer- tainly it was wrong to do it.” 1a Mr. Merrick. ‘The Ottman Compromise. CORRECTION OF MISSTATEMENTS—HOW TRE CASR WAS TRANSFERRED FROM THE SOLICITOR OF THR TREASURY TO THR DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICR, AND HOW IT CAMB INTO THE HANDS OF SPRCIAL COUNSEL BLISS. The statement from the Departmont of Justice Telative to the compromise In the Ottman case was not ready to-day to be made public, but will proba. biy be given out to-morrow. This statement will contain the report of Special Attorney Bliss, upon which the compromise was made. In view of the published report that the case was unjustly taken the hand Of the Solicitor of the Treasury by the Department of Justice, a Stax reporter learned that there ts on file inthe department a letter from the Solleitor of the Treasury to Attorney General Devens, dated Decemb>r 19, 1877, In which he says that the attorney for Ovtman ‘had applied to him fora suspension of proceedings in the case, but that he had replied that he had no authority in the matter, as it rested entirely with the Attorney General. The matter siumbered until Mareh, 188", when a petition for dismtssal was submitted by Ottman to Attorney General Bre ter. The matter was " naturally referred to District Attorney Corkhill, who replied that as he had tormerly been Otunan’s counsel in the case, and as bis predecessor had allowed tue matter to rest, he thought It would be inadvisable for him to take any steps, and recommended that it be given into the hands of a special attorney. This was done, and the case was referred to Mr. Geo. Bliss, who, tn an exhaustive report, recom mended a compromise, and upon his recommend: tion the compromise was effected. The reporter also learned that there was no means of tdentity- ing the notes recovered, although It was supposed that they were a part of the original amourt stolen from the Treasury. Judge MacArthur, who tried the case in the Criminal Court; Mr. Merrick, Who was of counsel for Ottman, and District Attorney Corkhill all gave it as thelr opinions “It was a high moral offens», “Certainly a fraud,” said Judge Wylie. Mr. Merrick then amended his paper so as to de- clare suci acts a fraud, VAILE AND BRADY. Mr. Merrick then turned to the discusston of tho testimony relating to Vatle, hoiding that the evi- ence all tended to show an understanding be- tween Vaile, Miner and Brady, and that Vaile’s voluntarily ¢: penaine from $25,000 to $59,000 ou losing routes belonging to other contractors evi- enced that he had reason to belleve that he would be reimbursed. He argued from Vaile’s alacrity in taking the routes at Brady's sugestion sbowel that he knew Brady would take care of im. Mr. Merrick having declared that Vaile ad- Yanced mouey on these routes without security, Mr. Ingersoll interrupted him to state that Vaile drew the money on the routes, which was sufl- clent security. Mr. Merrick said he had no doubt that Brady ‘would say that he got the money. Mr. Ingersoll said it was Brady’s duty to do so, as Vaile had started the routes. Mr. Merrick said 1t was Brady’s duty to obey the law, and he could not pay to another man than the contractor unless he was in combination with the contractors. ‘MR. MERRICK AND MR. ENELE. Mr. Merrick, while discussing Vaile, referred to him as a millionaire, a statement which Mr. Henkle disputed. Mr. Merrick sald that Mr. Henkle had not spoken for Valle, lest perhaps he inight cross the path of some ‘other person, so he would let Valle speak for nimself in his testimony. Mr. Henkle, rising, sald—“You have not made a shadow of a case against my client, and I did not think it was necessary for me to speak for bi “Now look here, Brother Henkle,” said Mr. Mer- tick, “you are 4 good member ‘of the church.
