The famous Nebraska star route trials have been ended in the acquit- tal of Corbin and Iddings, and a com- promise with Clary, tho ex:postmaster at Sidney, by which he gets off with a fine of §600. After all the great blow about the fearful frauds com. mitted and the dire vengeance to be meted ont by the governinent upon the heads of the ofienders, the above is the result. After the matter had been patched up the opposing counsel, and everything cut and dried, Judge Dundy said: “I understand this result vo have been brought by agreement between the counsel for the respective partier, and in view of all the circumstances I think both sides have acted wisely. Whatever may be thought of the sen- tence to be pronounced, I feel that the defendant hes already been fully punished for anything he has done, He has been subjected to the costs und vexatious of a long litigation, and has probably lost the value of his time, besides the mental suffering one necessarily undergoes while lying un- der a criminal charge. “‘This case has once been tried, and after a fair and impartial trial of more than a week, the jury were unable to agreo, there being, as popularly re- ported, a majorily in favor of the de- fendant, Having heard that trial, and bearing in mind the fact that the recollections of the witnesses wore fresher than they would be again, 1 have always doubted, and still doubt, that the dofendant could be convicted upon a new trial.

D, Helm, foreman of the Congressional Record, and Georgo B Spencer, government direetor of tho Union Pacific Railroad company, npon charges made by the attorney genoral and Oolonel Bliss that the above men. tioned officials had interfered with the ends of justice in connection with the star route trials, These offices will all be filled immediatoly, so that thero will be no interruption to the public service, DEPARTMENT OF JUSTIOE, WasuingToN, Nov 24, To the President of the United States Sir:—The letter of George Bliss, counsel for the United States in the star route trials, addreseed to you, dated November 11, 1882, referred to me by your order, has been carefully considered. Tho facts set forth in it are not new to me. ¥From considera- tlon of legal as well as official policy, I have thus far abstained from nlling your attention to theso matters, am much better satisfied that Bliss, acuing as counsel in the case, of his own motion has submitted to you the subjects theroln dealt with, Sincel received the letter Merrick and Ker, colleagues of Blies, called upon me and invited my attention to the sub- ject in the same manner that Bliss nas in the letter written by him to you. It is my opinion that the ends of justice have been interfered with by the persons complained of by Mer- rick, Bliss and Kerr., ‘The marshal of the district i8 re- sponsible for much of the opposing sentiment to the case of the gavern- ment that was exhibited in courfdur- ing the trial of the ctar routs iGase His negligent and irregular eofid in selecting talesmen ‘stoutly jected to at the time, and so infarn im., I:mmmndilh mm z moval.

Parker, are justly -ubi;ct to all _the charges presented by Bliss, and I think they should be removed. No men holding public appointments ehould be per- mitted to use the power and influence of thelr positions as they have used them, or be permitted to interfere with such prosecutien or any prosecu- tion urged by-the government in vin- dication of law, The man Holm, recently appointed to tho head of one of the depart- men’s in the public printing office, is by law incapable of holding that office, inasmuch as he controla publio newspapers, but I will further add that the paper he-controls is & paper notoriously end confessedly owned by cne ot the defendants. He is the most culpable of all since it was by his ofticial criminal malfeasinee that corrupt orders were made and frauds succeasfully p-;‘petnhd. Hus paper has been engaged feom the beginning of these prosecutions down to the dis- charge of the jury in the most violent abuse of all'wno were supposed to be interested in bringing the defendants to justicd. The judge was not even spared; the counsel were persistently alandgred, ant witnesses openly as. spulbed, denounced and terrorized by one:_continuous ourrent of personal abuse' and cslumny, I em of the opinion that this man should be re moved, and Iam astonizhed that those who have charge of the public print- ing with the knowledge of theso facts should venture to appoint him, He is not & man to bo trusted in the ro- sponsible position he holds. In conjunction witk Bliss I respoct- fully call your attention to the con- duct of George E. Bpencer. - Upon the day of your departure from this city, immediately after the adjourn- ment of congress, a communication by Bliss snd other counsels in the cases was sent through me with your com- }":h.mt agalust George K. Bpencer. 'hose papers did not reach you at that time, This was durlog the latter weeks of the trial; in fuct, the evi- dence had closed and counsel were ad- dreesing the jury, Those papers aro now before you, Bliss, by his letter, which you have referred to me, called your attention to them. By them it upf)em that George E. Spencer is a delinquent and absconding Witness; that he testified to matorial and important facts, and that he left this ecity and has ever since secreted himsclf and avoided the process of law. He holds an important pablic position, and is the last man who should hositate to be preeent in court to testily in a case of magnitude, and in which the honor of the govern- et ayd administration of public justice 1s eoncerned, and because of his consurable delinquency I unite with Bliss and the other counsel in the case in askivg his immediate re- moval, Geo, O. Miller, vne of the police of the district, in the recent judicial in- quiry, with the audaeity of & criminal, confessed under oath that he had been DAY MORNI . | removed Saturday by the president NG, NOVEMBER 2 engaged and retained in the service of the defendants in tho star route casb, and had persistently assisted them duting tha trial. Dooause of this oconfossion made by hin, T applied to the commissionera of this district to romove him. That removal has taken lace, Aftor serious and prolonged oliberation over all the details the the case, my inveatigations have satisfied mo that the men who were indioted were gailty men, and merited the extreme punishment of the law. They had projected under cover of offictal power, and under the ocolor of official euthority, & systematio plan of deliberate robbery of the pub. lic treasury; to carry out that plan they had laid their hands upon a fund dedicated by law to a great publio ser- vice—a nervice that is conspiouously one of the fraits and caures of our civilization, our sovial corafort, - our commercial prosperity, our national growth, Millions of that moaney they porverted to their own nrivate gain and divided it for their own porsonal purposes, It was the condign act of an infamous conspiracy and deserves the severest punishment the law oan infliet. Such men are traitors to so- oial and official duly, and they are public enemios against whom the au- thority of the law must bo exerted without hesitation or reluctance, The higher their past position the greater their sin and sterner must be their punishment. X desire to call your attention to the fact that offic of the law and those who have been direotly aiding me in the discharge of my duty in this busi- ness have been from the first encircled with snaros, pitfalls and every species of vile device that could be invented to harm thom, hinder their usefulness and provent tho ndministration of jus. tice. Some portions of this commu- nity who surround those 'dofendants, and who enjoyed, or do still enjoy minor cflioial poritions, know no alleglance to any one but this band of robbers, and render no mser. vice to any one but these evil employ- ers, from motives of gain or other cor- rupt considerations, They are satu- ratod with aflinities to these bad men, they have contributed by every means in their power at the bidding of their masters to obstruot public justice and to defame i officers, with the hope of securing acquittal and eacape of the worat band of organized scoundrelsthat ever existed sinoe the commencement of the government.

The charges of Tidball, late postofiice iuspector, to which Bliss alluded 1n his letter to you, were met wmore than & year ago and explained to the department, As to the charge that we directly or indirectly inter- fered with the star route cascs, we deny. As to the correspondence of Mr. Aioger in his home paper, it was simply the substance of what was stated by the court from the bench at the time, and was reflected as a matter of news only, While we do not question your right to suspend in one case and remove in the other, we do deny your righs to assign as cause for such suspension snd removal conduct and action alike damaging and injurious to us as pub- lic ofticers and honorable men, with- ont giving us an opportunity to be heard.

When Bliss intimated that the defendants. in the star route casea were in court through the connivance of their at- torney, Bob Ingersoll, one of the counsel arose and pointing his finger at Bliss, his eyes sparkling, while he thundered out “That's a lie and you are a liar.” Bliss cowered like a dog and had still further oause to regret his insinuations when Jadge Whylie gave him a most stinging repri- mand, Any person whom Blisa dis- trusts, and I have yot failed to find ono he does not, is linble at any moment to feel the venom of his treacherous tongue. Coming from some questionabis quarters, probably he even suspects himweli at times. Wheon he carsies his pocket-book in his left pocket his eyes are continual ly wandering towards his loft hand through fear it might give him the slip and got hold of the money with. ou¢ his being aware of the fact.

I know there in not a word of truth in them, and I don't care to take up my time in reading what is not so, It has been talked that tho marahal would be removed and that everybody who does not think Browster the most wonderful of men would follow him. I believe Henry, Ainger and Parker were removed because they sre honest men, The department of justice has grown desperate since its paid agents were convicted of trying to bribe the jury, If the mext i'ury acquits, and it never will convict, I presume Brews- ter will want all the jury convicted of conspiracy to acquit.
