Several persons indicted for main
tanning gambling houses in Washing
ton were yesterday acquitted by the
Grand Jury in the District Court, after
a trial continuing for several days.
The fact hat the persons acquitted
maintained gambling houses, was we'll
known to the public, and the location
of the houses was well known to the
police. The case was fully established
by evidence, and much surprise is ex-
| pressed at the unconditional verdict of
mot guilty" There seems TO be some
thing radically defective in the admin
istration of justice in this city.
Gilman, who was concerned in The
robbery Of $47 900 from the Treasury,
Notwithstanding two trials, and the
fact that the Identical money was
found i'm his possession, has not been
convicted, anu, al a consequence, the
Government has not only been unable
to obtain legal possession of the stolen
money, but is threatened with a suit
for its recovery by those who stole it
from the Treasury cash room.

The action of the Mississippi Repub-
licans in disbanding, is regarded as the
beginning Of a movement on the part
of the Republicans of all the Southern
States which are hopelessly Democrat
ic, to suspend their contests and allow
their opponents to divide, If they will,
into Hayes and anti. Hayes Democrats.
Georgia Republicans will, it is predict

similar address, declining to put any
ticket in the fold or make any contest
at the next election.
A Notable Tax suit Between en- ara
and Sat
CLEVELAND, Ohio, July IL.
A case that has attracted a great
deal of public attention has been on
trial in this city for several days past,
in which Bishop GiImour, the Catho-
lie Bishop of the diocese, sought to en-
join the County Treasurer from the
collection of 81, 900 taxes and assess
ments on lands alleged TO be held by
him in trust for the use Of the Catho-
lie parochial schools. The Bishop and
other clerical witnesses were cross-ex-
amined and large numbers Of Papal
documents, DEGREES OF the various
councils, the encyclicol letters Of the
Pope, etc., we're introduced by the
defendant to show that parochiai
schools were organized and cond ucted
for purposes hostile to free institu-
tions and opposed to the public policy
Of the State, and not therefore to be-
construed as coming within the mesn-
ing OF exemption clauses of the stat

but Is absolutely accountable only TO

adjustment OF these schools was not
