The graduating exercises of the young ladies of the normal school last evening, at the Congrega- tonal church, were witnessed by an immense au- dience that filled the pews and aisles and extended beyond the entrance doors, The taste of the young ladies had produced fine decorative effects about the platform, Mowers and the national colors being combined, forming a striking background. ‘The graduates, dressed In white, occupted seats in semi-circle on ‘the platform. At cach end sat in- vVited guests as follows:-—President Arthur, Gen. Eaton, Rev. RK. R. Shippen, Prof. Cleveland Abbe, Commissioners Ejmonds, West and Lydecker, B. 4. Warner. Prof. 0. T.

A LETTER BY COMMISSIONER EDMONDS CRITICISING THE MANAGEMENT. Commissioner Edmonds, who attended the meet- ing of the Chesapeake and Ohio canal company, last week, as the representative of the United ‘States, as well as proxy for the District, which holds $125,000 of the stock, has written a letter to the Secretary of the Treasury, announcing to him the failure to have “one of our number” placed in @ position to look more earnestly after canal affairs. The letter, after stating the importance to the District of a careful and judicious adminis- tration of canal affairs, details the writer’s experi- ence upon applying to representing the state of Maryland, which holds a majority of stock, to have one of the seven directors chosen from among the District Commissionera. He was told that Major Morgan had been on the board last year, not to comply with the request for represenation on the part of the United States and the District Commissioners, but on account of other interests. He recounts how nis application ‘was not complied with, but Mr. a citizen of the District, Was elected a, a ‘ne nolders of nearly one-third of the sok oot! have no re- presentation upon the board.

R. MeConnell and Rohrer, THE STAR ROUTE TRIAL. Jadge Wylie’s Charge to The Criminal Court room was crowded this morning. The jury, who have enjoyed a vacation since last Friday, were present early, as were the counsel. Judge Wylie arrived about ten minutes Past 11, and was accompanted upon the bench by Mr. Justice Drake, of the Court of Claims. Juige Wylle began to address the jury about 11:85 a.m. Ho sald the patient and intelligent attention they had given to the case during the past months had lightened to a great extent the duty of the court. He felt that it would be un- necessary, and indeed it might be a dangerous undertaking on the part of the court, to begin with a history of the case for the purpose of comparing the evidence, one part with another, to assist their minds in reaching a conclusion. ‘The arguments of counsel had rendered that unnecessary. They had had all the means that any Jury could require to make up a sensible and honest opinion. It was proper, however, that the court should call their attention to some points in the case, anl probably at more lenzth than their patience would bear with. He wished, however, to asstst them In every. Proper way, without trespissitg upon their ‘dominion, in'regard first to the questions of law, as Well as some features of the evidence. POPULAR CLAMOR AND APPEALS FOR SYMPATHY SHOULD ALIKE BB DISREGARDED. As a preliminary he thought he should say that the jury are todecide this case according to the evidence. That was the solemn obifgation each had taken. They were not to allow themselves for a moment to be swayed by any other influence under heaven than the law and the evidence. What had the Jury to do with the demands of the popular mind, with articles in the newspapers, with appeals to them that the country demands of them a conviction? ‘These things should not be considered. ‘Thus far the waves shall come, Dut a jury who does thelr duty will say ‘‘and no tur- ther.” He pictured the sublimity of the conduct of a jury doing its duty in defiance of popular clamor. “All clamor of that kind should be ex- cluded from the court room. On the other hand, apeals to the sympathy of the fury for the de- fendants on account of the social relations, the effect their verdict might have on those near and dear to them, should have no welght with the the Jury. Jury. In great cases appeals of thts kin4 are always made, but should have no weight. The mercy of the law was in the law itself. The administration of justice in this country was based on principles that made it impossible for an innocent man to be convicted. THE PRESUMPTION OF THE LAW Was that every man was innocent until proved guilty, There was the mercy of the law—the pro- tection of the innocent. When, through popular clamor or app2als to feeling, a trial becomes a sham {¢ wl beabad day for the country. As long as the administration of justice is preserved In the courts fn its purity the country 1s safe, and. without that the country will go to destruction. The law is supreme. The law, must be obeyed, and when violated its sanctions must be enforced. ‘The policy of the law is to be found in Itself. No public officer of any description has any right to set up his own policy against the policy of the law. He occupies a place of trust—a trust of great magnitude. The law should be his guide, OFFICIALS MUST OBEY THE LAWS. Toallow an officer to set up his own policy would lead to great abuses. The country will thrive best when every man in his place performs his duty as a good citizen, according to law. An emergency may arise which will justify a public officer, for a time, in departing trom the law and applyihg to the indemnity of the legislature atter- wards. Such occasions were invasions or public calamity. An officer, the judge said, might mis- take his duty. He might belteve he had a right to promote the public good Ly departing trom the law. In such case he violates the law, but, uoless his motive be corrupt, he 1s not amenable to the criminal law. These remarks, he said, were di- rected to THE POSITION OF GEN. BRADY and the claim he set up tn his testimony. He did Not think it was a reasonable construction of the law on the part of Brady not to pay any regard to roductiveness. He would not nize any law r right in the policy of pushing the star route service in the manner testified to, but it was for the jury to determine whether Mr. Brady acted under corrupt motives. The law prohibits: apy public officer from expending money or making contracts for expenditure beyond the appropria- tion in his hands, UNDENIABLE EVIDENCE. In the management of thesestar routes they had undeniable evidence that after Congress in 1878 appropriated all the money asked by the Post Of- fice department for the fiscal year 1879-80, in De- cember—five months after the fiscal year had be- gun—to such extent had these orders for increase ‘nd expedition been carried that a deficiency was close at hand and an appeal had to be made to Congress. An act was passed with such guards on 2s Congress chose to set up to prevent a future recurrence of a deficiency. Such acts might be done through a mistaken sense of duty. Some- times men feel great in office and are influenced by fanaticism—ofiicial fanaticism—regarding the importance of their office, It might be a mistaken sense of duty without a corrupt motive. ‘The in- dictment itselt charged a conspiracy. The court here read the statute RELATING TO CONSPIRACY, under which the indictment was found. This, he said, was a statutory definition of the crime they were trying. ‘There must be two or more people to conspire. When people conspire they must have a unison of mind—a common purpose. A man may be useful to 2 conspiracy who 1s not in & conspiracy at all—because he may not have Deen taken into the counsel of those who con- spired—although he may have done something to forward the conspiracy. This very case gave an illustration of that. Peck may have been one of the willing and intelligent conspirators. He cer- tainly did many things to help them in their com- mon purpose, but he could account for his con- dutt without connecting him with the conspiracy. He was not here when it was organized, ir it was organized. His part seemed to have been the making of affidavits’ He made enough of them, but it was possible he may have made those affidavits to the best of his knowledge and belief. and yet not beem a member of the con- spiracy. He spoke of Peck because he wag out of the way—doad. There had been no investigation of his case. He desired to show that a man could forward a conspiracy without himself being one of the conspiracy, 1n a criminal sense. It required @ combination of a criminal king. The law 8 say a conspiracy may be to do an unlawful thin, by lawful means, or a lawful palng By ‘uniaw! means, But the jury need not troubie themselves about that. ‘THE CONSPIRACY HERR ‘Was a combination for certain purposes, to be ef- fected by certain means. That was the practical conspiracy before the jury. THE STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS covered with its protection all crimes perpetrated more than three years prior to the finding of the indictment. These defendants were not Hable to punishment for anything ex- cept what they did as conspirators within three years prior to the finding of the In- dictment, The Indictment was reported to the court May 20, 188% The jury could not find these defendants guilty of anyt done prior to May 1878. They might wonder why the court had allowed so much time to be spent in receiving ev- idence of acts of the defendants prior to 1879. That was one of the mysteries of the law, and when it is explained the principle will com- mend itself to the acceptance of every fair-minded man.

Dorsey, and under his super- vision and direction. He was acttve tn the corres- Pondence and in procuring bona He seemed to exert a controlling Influence over everybody. He Was, of courss, Incompetent to become contractor. ‘The bids were put in in March, 1878, after all the arrangements had been made under the laspection ofS. W. Dorsey. Peck, Join W. Dorsey and Miner Were mutually interested in the bids. There they had a unity of purpose and interest on the part of the three men to whom the contracts were awarded. S W. Dorsey seemel, however, to be the most active man in putting in the bids and afterwards In carrying out the contracts. it made no matter whether he had an interest In the con- treets or not. If hehad a sinister or unlawful view he was JUST AS GUILTY WITHOUT A CONTRACT as with it If it was unlawiul, and he assisted, it mattered not whether he was interestel or ‘whether he assisted from love of his brother. ‘The court referred to Vaile’s coming Into the concern in the fall of 1878 to prevent a failure of servics on the routes. It was claimed by the prosecution that this was an unlawful combination in its con- ception and they had gone back to that early Perlod to show the character of the combination when it was formed. If that was a fraudulent combination then they bad established the char- acter of the combination anterior to May, 1879. Then they go down to March, 1879, WHEN &. W. DORSEY LEFT THE SENATE. S. W. Dorsey comes forward then at once, and Jno. W. Dorsey and Peck step out. The jury was to judge what that indicated; whether It was car- rying out in form what was substance before; whether John W. Dorsey and Peck were men of straw; or really a new arrangement was made at that time. Some of the contracts were, however, in the names of Peck and Jno. W. Dorsey, and ex: pedition could not be obtained except upon thelr aMdavits. In that way, the government claims, these two men STILL REMAINED IN THE COMBINATION. ‘They continued to make aMdavits. ‘The court Teviewed briefly the terms of the division by which 8. W. Dorsey and Valle, nether of whom were contractors, succeeded to the rights of the other parties. Those going out should continue to make hecessary papers, and those coining in were to divide among themselves the necessary paper. PECK AND JOUN W. DORSEY. If these parties who went out—Peck and Jobn W. Dorsey—knew that it was a combination of ‘which they were a part, and their purpose was to have fraudulent petitions gotten up, and fraudu- lent orders made, and they agreed to help out the purpose by making papers, he did not see how they could be rel from the charge, and 80 us to those who came in, if they had acorrupt and un- lawful purpose, it made but little odds how the Toutes were divided. A party might remain In a gonspiracy gfter he had parted with his interests, ‘The avermeht that they were all interested in the contracts had nothing to do necessarily with the conspiracy, and the government was not obliged to prove it. According to the evidence the aver- ment was untrue. THE DISTRIBUTION OF THE ROUTES Washot consummated till the Ist of April, 1879. Still, they were outside of the statute, and the ev! dence was received for the purpose of showing the character of the combination. In order to sustain the indictment they must get the conspiracy this side of May 20 and must find overt acts there. If the combination fell to pieves between April 1st and May 20, 1879, they had no evidence of it. If 1t was an unlawful combination they had no evi- dence of its being broken up between April 1st and May 20, and ube presumption was that it con- Unued after the latter date. If it was an honest arrangement the jury would not, of course, have to trouble themselves about the dates; ‘but if it wag otherwise they hada right to jurge of the character of the combination stuco May 20th by its antecedents. It was not enough, however, that there should be a conspiracy. Some One or more of the members of the combination must have done some act since May 20th, 1879, in furtherance of the conspiracy. SOME DIFFICULTY came up there. Most of the petitions denounced as fraudulent—and some of which looked very much of that kind upon their face—were gotten up before May 20th, 1879. For example, on route 34149 a petition was ‘chat to de false, and was charged to be filed July 10th, 1870. In fact, it was filed April 84, 1879. That petition, therefore, was filed behind the period of the statute of Iimita- tions. Still, another question arises there—and It isthe case with many of the petitions They Would consider this false petition as filed April 3d, 1879. The petition was on file, but seems not to have been used. The question 1s whether one of these parties Interested in procuring an order for expedition, and using a petition already filed to procure the order, could be said to hxve filed the petition on the 10th of July, 1879. _He would leave it to the jury as to whether any of the peti- tions on file before May 20, 1879, were used in pro- curing expedition or increase after that day. If, although they had been filed before that date, Dorsey, or any other defendant, in point of fact knowingly made use of any fraudulent paper to procure an order, ne should hold that the use of ‘Such @ paper was an act IN FURTHERANCE OF A CONSPIRACY and an overt act that it was proper for the jury toconsider. Dates in an indictment were of little consequence. The man who filed the affidavit might be protected by lapse of time, but one of the others, afterwards meking use of the paver, committed an overt act. He regarded the in: dictment as meaning that the phper was used July 10th, 1879. As fo all that, the jury would have to judge. On the same rouve the oath was charged to have been filed July 10th, 1879, when, in point of tact, 1b was filed April 34,1879. Tae court referred to others cases where there was an apparent variance in dates between the Indict- ment and the evidence. He belleved there was not a single Instance in which any of these papers Were filed within the statute of limitations. Mr. Bliss, tuterrupting, said the oath on route 40,109 had "been flied within the time. In other cases the date of the filing was stated coincident with the date of the order. THE OVERT ACT. Judge Wylie, resuming, sald 1a effect that it was the use of the paper that constituted the overt act, and these papers appeared to have been used within the legal period. He referred to a question made yesterday respectingithe correctness of the form in which Brady's orders were set forth. It did not say that the orders were made in further- ance oF in pursuance of a conspiracy. The author. ities all required that the overt act should be setout ag an overt act done in pursuance of a conspiracy. He apprehended, however, that that detect—and he Was not surprised at it, considering the labors imposed upon the draughtsman—was cured by section 1028, R. S., which provided that a defect in the form ofan indictment should not tend to the prejudice of adefendant. He did not think the omission of the form in this case would tend to the prejudice of the defendant. This indictment for more than a year bad been under constant fire, but this defect had not been named in or the demurrers so far as the court remem! A defect in an indictment was the subject of de- murrer, or it be raised in a motion in arrest of juagment. le did not know, however, that the ‘question of the the o1 ‘was set out in the same way. He should hold, fore, that the indictment was Valid and that the overt acts were properly charged against * [CONTINUED IN THE SECOND EDITION.} Foreman Crane's Dream, A VISION OF FUTURE SCENES IN: THE JURY ROOM— JOHN CALVIN AND THE OLD COMMOX-LAW DIET.

TUCSON, ARIZONA, June 12—A courier arrived at Tombstone last night from Crook’s headquarters, at Silver Creek, Arizona, bringing official 1aforma- Uon of Crook’s expedition. It left American soll on the third of May, marching £00 miles southeast from San Bernardino to the boundary Ine of Chihuahua and Sonora, following a trail of the hostties. Crook was guided by an Apache, named Madaski, who was captured near San Carlos just previous tothe expedition’s departure. “Ata potnt about 200 miles south of tho Ine the command crossed the Sierra Madres range. advanced 50 miles Over an intescribably rough trail, eight mules Deing Killed by falling over precipices, and press: @ on Without delay. The inea were rendered nearly barefoot by the sharp rocks. THE INDIANS SURPRISED. After fourteen days’ hard marching, day and night, the Indian camnsof Chato and Bonito were discovered tn the heart of the Sierra Madres, in an almost impregnable position. The Apaches did not dream of an attick, for the entrance to the stronghold was next to impassable, and the war- Fors were principally out on a raid under Jub, only thirty-seven bucks being in camp with the Women and children. The San Carlos scouts, under Capt. Crawford and Lieut. Atwood and Mickey Free, and chiefs of the scouts, surrounded the camp before the hostlles were aware of Un proximity. They advanced from diterent points, he scouts secreted themselves belitod the rocks and commenced firing upon the camp, creating a periect panic. A numnber succeeded In escaping, though nearly all surrendered. Seven werd found dead in the camp, and five Mexican women and a little girl were recaptured. They were taken from Carmen and Chihuahua, and are now with Crook, in good health. Everything in the camp was burned or carried off by the scouts. Among the iy captured were 100 ponies and mules, 40 being ed with plunder, saddles, girdles, clothes. gold and Sliver watches, ‘and several thousand dollars of id and silver and greenbacks, showing That the ‘Adians hud been very successful In their raids, NOTED CHIEFS CAPTURED. After the ficht most of those who eseaped came in. Altogether 333 prisoners were taken. The chiefs captured were Chato, Bonito, Geronimo, Nachez, Loco and Nana. The two latter were long reported dead. ‘The chiefs say an American boy, SIX Years old, captured a month ago in New Mexico, is with the squaws tu the mosutains, fe 4s no doubt Charile McComas. Runners were seht out and he ts expected in houriy. After the fight the command,with the prisoners, marched lelsure- iy back to American soll.and the entire command, with prisoners, are now encamped on Sliver Creek, abou: sixty miles south of Tombstone. Not one of Crook's command was lost during the campaign. GEN. CROOK LIKELY TO GO RACK. The courier states that the reason Gen. Crook remains at Stlver creek 1s that he ts a’ news from the Secretary of War as to what dis position he shall make of the Indians, as Mr. Wil- Cox, the agent at San Carlos, refused to receive them, and he (wen. Crook) will go back to the Sierra Madres atter the rest of the hostiles if they do not come. ENTY OF STOLEN MONEY. In conversation with the courier he stated that the hostiles had plenty of moncy. Ove old squaw, who was the possessor or three bills, msde in- quiry of some one at Col. Biddle’s as to the value of her possessions, Upon being Informed that the notes Were worth $5 each, she grunted, decided Not to negotlate, and pointed With her finger to @ naught after the Tgure five on each note.

A —— estl- uate of the amount of the wealth among them 16 fully $5,000 and probably more. ‘The troops stated that the place where tlie capture occurred 1s the prettiest spot on earth, and the road leading to It Tougher than mortal ian ever trod. Large num- bers of the hostlies seemed pleased with the situe ation, evidently expecting an immediate return to the Sin Carlos reservation. ‘The only complaint Was from some squaws, whose bucks were among those who made their escape.

The officers of the exp-dition stated that Gen, Crook had surrounded the Indians before they were aware of his presence, and that If he had not done soit would have taken six months and al} the men In Arizona to have captured them. — General Foreiga News by Cable, TRE CHURCH BILL IN THE LaNDTAG.
