AN OLD CASE,

AN OLD CASE.
Capt. Hatheway is on tbs black list at Central
Station, ana is therefore compelled almost
daily to submit reports, which are given
out for publication, concerning criminal oc-
currences in his district, which arc stale,
fat, and Improbable, inasmuch as they
datesome time back, and have all UNDER
gone the process OF police suppression. The re-
port OF yesterday states that Charles schmtdt of
Fort Scott Kas, arrived IN town Ang- 1, and
after getting drunk with some companions in
concert saloon at No. 81 North Clark street, was
knocked down in an alley and robbie Of about
$1et cash, an Appleton and Trucy watch worth
SIS, a gold chain valued At SIS and q coat worth
ST., together with papers aud memoranda OF
great value to himself only. In concluding
long report OF this robbery, Capt. Hathaway
says: / am satisfied that this report was r:ada
out at that time and delivered at your Office
promptly" Tho Captain is right, too. and no
should mt permit himself to be annoyed By
those eccentricities OF ths people at Central.
The report was promptly submitted, but instead
port, was filed In book labeled "privatare-
ports, !" and was suppressed for the good OF the
service

A Peculiar Defanse.

1t was reported several days ago that
Mr.! Justice Swayne, of. the Supreme
Court of the United States, mad deliver
ed an opinion from hls judicial place in
the matter Of the De Golyer-Pavement-
Garfield transaction. This is the Ian.
guage attributed to Justice Of the Su.
preme Court of the United States:
"The agreement with Gen. Garfield, a
member OF Congress, to pay him $4,000
as contingent fee for procuring con-
tract which was itself made to depend
upon future appropriation by Congress
which appropriation could only come
from committee of which he was chair
man-was q sale of official influence,
which no veil can cover, against the
plainest principles Of public policy. No
counselor-at-law while holding high Of

tion OF temptation, and under pretense

appears that Mr.. Justice Swayne die

The defense is that some one else, and
not Mr.. Justice Swayne, made this state

Court Of the United States should make
this declaration, it oeing untrue, Garfield
might yet face frowning multitude O
voters, But the defense made by the
friends of General Garfield is that these
charges we're not made by a Justice Of
tie Supreme Court. The truth of the
charges is not denied, and can not sue

whether It was Mr.. Swayne, Republi.
can Justice of the Supreme Bench, or
