ARTHUR PAYNE, for whom warrants were issued in connection with the attempt to bribe Juror Brown, of the star route jury, was arrested and arraigned in_the po- lice court this morning, Biil was fixed at $2,000. Tne government in- tends to have a full hearing in the police court of all circumstances in the case, o the public may judge of the merits of the prosecution, Itis balieved defandants will wave exam- ination when called for hearing and jet the case go directly to the grand jury. AMONG THE ICEBERGS, Lieutenaut Dwenhower continued his account of travels of the Jeannette crew before the buard of enqairy to- day. Trav:ling improved some about July 4:b, and abiu: two miles were made that day. July G.h, there was a great movement of 1ce and trav- eling becama very bad. Oa tae 13th, the captain announced he had made twenty-seven miles the past week, agaiust thirieen the previoug one July 16:h, land bore south to south- weat and vur course was directed to it. On that day Oollins killed a seal which furnished a goo1 meal for the enire party July 28 h. 7 p. m., the weather oleared aud Isund was plainly visible, We smftcd to an immense floe and advanzed 1} miles. toward land and camped at 11 p, m, At 2 m of the 89 -munnim snddenly eppeured g over the fog Tae mw for shore, aud atter two work got the sleds and boats upon some fl v pieces of 1ce inside the outer line of grounded ice and campe for supper. This was at the foot of the island, the land belog too steep to atford a camping p'acs, About 7 p m. that day the caprain with all hands hoisted the American ensign and to k possession in the name of the president of the Uuited S:ates, calling it Ben nett island, aud ordered Caipp to give the par'y all the lborty they wished on American soil, Next day pariiee were sent out to shoot bircs, Lirge numbers were obtained aud discributed smong the tonts, July 81st, Duubar avd two Indians were sent out to explore the southeastern island. Divine services were aleo held. Duanbar established a ciirn, August D, on the southeast face of the 1sland. At this time the weather was fogey and raw, and a considerable nvmner of the party wore sick with diorrhea from eating birds. Up to this time the dogs had been allowed one pound of pemmican each per day. Oa this day twelve of them were crippled and of no further use, They were shot and buried in the water. Aagust 6 h, boats were launched and we started on our trip from Bocnett island, Court adjjurn. ed untl to-morrow, PULATICAL A BESSMENTS, Hearing of arguments in the politi- o1l ansessment csse wis continued in the Uaited S:aws supreme court this afteruoon, Martin B, Smuth, of o unsel for petitioner, replied atsoms length to the arguwent of the solici- tor general, and was to day, as yester- day, repeatedly 1aterrupted by qnes- tions from the bench, Ia his argu- ment he eaid, ‘“Che law for protec- tion of sn enrolling cfficer protects him only in the discharge of his duty It makes distinction between his ofli cial and h's private life. If he gots iuto trouble over a gzawme of cards he is not under protection ot the law.” Justics Mdler—* Chat is rroe, The 1w protects an enrolling «flicer only while 1n the discharge of his duty, but a cletk in one of the depariments is always on «flisial duty as far as his need of protection is concerned, He need it as much at one time as another, O )pression may be exer cised upon him out in the s'reet as well as when he is in his offise.” Swmith—*But, yoir honor, the law #ays he shall not give of his means for political purposcs,aven when he desires to give aud is auxious to give, That is not protection " Justics Miller-—The law does not eay he shall not give, bat that he shall not give to another officer of the goy- erument He can give to anybody else if he chooses. I am not particu laily & civil service reformer, but we all kuow how these voluntary contri butions are made, The object of the statute evidently was to protect a subordinate from the exactions of his superior, by making it a misdemeaunor for the former to give the latter any money for political purposes. That OMAHA~ 4B was undoub edly the poliey of con greas, The question is whether it was competent for congress to adopt that polioy aud enact law, and enfores it. Smith—T¢ is & singular way to pro- tect a subordinate, to panish him for giving, even when the act is volun- tary, aud let his superior go unpun- wshed, even when he exacts pagyment. In couclusion Smith said he cou'd only reiterate his convistion that con- gress had no right to regulate the con duet of g vernment employes cuteide the sphere of the latter’s offic al duties. The schioitor general ¢xplained why he had laid strees, in his upon receiving rather than giving money for poiiticil purposes, d closed with the following words: ‘1 am arguing this case in wcoordance with ths distinction made by the atatute botween giving and receiving.

Whecler, an representa- tive of the Civil Sarvice Rutorm asso ciation, has submitted a brief for the government, in which the constitu- vionality of the statute is maintained upon somewhat broader ground than that taken by the solicitor general, and in which an atten pt is made to show that the practice of political as sessment is not ouly iilegal, but1s in jurious to the public servioe, vppressive to government em ployes and demoralizing to all who have anything to do with it “Habitual assessmen'e,” Wheeler sayn, ‘‘ehould be forbidden as protec tion to (fics holders themselves from a most distracting annoyauce, Iu most circu'ars, indeed, contributions are carefully called voluntary, and they are usually 80 spcken of; but as a matter of fact they are not volun- tary. They are radically diffsrent from contributions for aocisl or politi- oal purposes, which are realiy volun- rary. These contributions for politi- oal purposes are aolicited 'by those in awhority, or by those who ure hkoly to have special iufluence with the appointing power in par- ticular. Toe amount wanted 18 designated and it is spoken of as something which is ‘‘due” As a matter of faot, ch assessments smount to a species of (x:ortion They are paid under durers, very ufien at great personal eacrifice, and under it flusuce ot fear of losing their p'ace and means of livelihood through success of the party out of power or through dismissal by the parly in power, as a means of puuishment for mot huving paid them. The amount of contributions themselves forms, morever, a comp'e'e answer to the supposition that they .are vol- antary and peoper. The assessmonts in the year of each pres dential elec: tion amount to 6 per ¢ mvof the office- holders’ ealary. A great majority of those assessed are p reons whose eal- aries do mnot exceed $2,000 per an. oum Prudent persons with such in- comes do not give away 6 per cent of their salaries for any one purpose whataoever, except uader pressare, either real or fancied. effocts of res upon lll‘ pul are not - Rotders arand themselves, and such effsots alone aff yrd sufficient resson for pro- hibition of the practice, and the mon- ey whioh is raised becomes inevitably asource of corruption. It cannot be positi. ely stated how much money is raised by means of these assessments, From the most trustworthy sourse of information to which accsss can be obtained, however, it may be posi- tively asserted at least $100,000 are anaually raised respectively by the ropublican congressional commit- tee and by the republican state committee of New York The exact amount is known to very few persons and no regular accounts are kept of receepts or of expendi- wares, Whaat accounts are kept are aot audited and the ¢xpenditures are in the hands of one or two persons who are rssponsible to nobody. The disbursement of these sums may be entirely proper, but experience has shown that such {rresponsible expendi- tures are a direct, fruitful and most nsidious eource of corruption. The most serious indirect effsct of the system 18 ite iofluenee wpon the character and conduct of political pocties. Tn the eyes of the party out of power the whole body of cffisers and employés of the national govern. ment conetitute a mercenary force which draws money from the national troasury and spends it tor the purpose deorivivg them of the honor and emoluments of office and an opportu- nity of putung their prinei. ples of admsnistration into op eration, The result 18 to iatro- duce into every political contest elements which are wholly foreiga to it. The raucor of such contests is increased, the confidence of a large number of citizsns in honest aud un- partissn sdwinistration of laws regu lating electious is greatly dimiaished and a disposition to dispute the de- clared result of such elections either by resort to immediate violence or to legal conte s consequently greatly increased, THE CABINET AND POLITICS, The statement to the effect that poli ical affairs iz New York snd Ponnsylvania and other states had been a subjuct for discussion av cab- inet meetings is authoritatively denied by the president and members of the cabiwet, who furthermore spec ficully say that while the usnal cabinet meet. ir gy ha7e been held for the conside:- tion of public business, no reference whatever to political matters has bien made at any meeting, and no dispatch- e whatever, cipher or otherwise, have been sent from the white house to the chairman of the state committee in New York, or to anyone else, on po- litical subjocts, there or elsewhere.
