THE sTEr-JupGE NELSON GRANTS THE APPII-
CATION.
On motion OF District Attorney Britton, in the
Brooklyn City Court, on Friday, ChiefJustics
Nelson ordered that nolle proseqM be entered
in the matter of the indictments for libel against
Francis u. Moulton and Theodore Tilton. The
intention of Mr.. Britton to make his motion yes
terday seemed not to be generally known, and
there were only few persons in the conrt-room
beyond the usual number OF lawyers and litigants.
Mr.. Brtton said it had been his rule, whenever.
there has been Indictment pending, the trial
OF which would result in no possible benefit, to
move for a noile pros. in the case. Whether
the accused desires that he be 80 tried can have
no legitimate influence upon district attorney
not representing individual interests, but those
Of the people. He remarked that he thought 1t
was sufficient reparstion for a man when nm
Justly indicted to have nOlle prosequi entered
by an officer Of the people.
Judge Nelson replied: "The motion is granted
and think it proper to say. recognizing that
the questions involved in such cases rest
largely in the Judgment and discretion Of the
prosecutor representing the people, that in this
particular case the views expressed and course
proposed to be pursued by the District Attorney
are proper, and commend themselves to our
Judgment a. fair and Just exercise of the dis
cretion necessarily vested in him."

Tho New secretary.

But, during the three terms he served in the
United Stater Senate, there WAS no man in that
body personally more popular, uniformly more
devoted to the government, or OF All integrity
more universally recognized. 1t Is the latter
quality which renders Mr.. Chandler peculiarly
fitted for the management Of the Interior De-
partment in which there have been more abuses
OF late years than IN any other department Of
the General Government. Mr.. Chandler has
been honest all hA life long, and there is no
temptation for him to be otherwise at this late
dsy and with large personal fortune, nor to
ccrntenance dishonesty in others He is also in
full sympathy with the Republican party on the
currency question-being uncompromisingly in
favor Of sound money.-Chicd9o Tribune.
