SUIT FROM WHICH IMPORTANT DEVELOPMENTS
AKE EXPECTED.
A suit has been entered by Col. Enoch Totten
for Col. John A. Walsh against Samuel Z !.
Brown. on note for 81 900, dated Washington
April 6. 1879. The filing OF this suit caused con.
siderable comment and contecturs, especially
among those who have read up Ia the star
route scandal Should the case 20 TO trial II IS
expected there will be developments made
Which may throw considerable light on the
''eSpediting' business. It is alleged that s. Il.
Brown was In the business and that he secured
the first increase OF pay on route No. %, ,lOl,
jerome j. Kinds, in the affidavit published in
February last, states that Brown undertook for
SIC coo 10 have the service on route 40 i0i sex
pedi'eu" and the pay increased 10 SIS. 600 per
anEum. and Brown received the order therefor
from Second Assistant Postmaster General
Brady and he (HInds) gave Brown an order on
Walsh for $500 (Which was paid by the
latteD. and the balance was secured
TO Brown by giving him draffs on the mail DAY
or other routes let TO Fisher and McDonouCb
who were Kinds associates IL l. said that this
note was secured by post ofllce drafts and the
note being unpaid. the presumption is that the
drafts were not paid. Walsh. II will be reniem-
oered, afterwards became the contractor on
route 40. lOl, and probably fell heir ia some way
10 the Brown Indebtedness The officials at the
Post Office department profess 10 know nothing
OF the particulars, or the bearing this suit may
but III they do, they are very reticent Mr.
Walsh, when approached on the subject, de-
clihed TO speak or it, except TO say that it was
altogether private suit, and MessrS Wood
wsrd and Gibson, who are prosecuting their
iiQuirits In room 49, gave no clue. It Is un-
delstood, however, that the government has
been looking for proof OF a connection between
tie official BRADY, the agent (Brown) and the
contractor (Wdlsh) and IL Is believed that the
prosecution expect that should this case GO to
trial the connection Will be established Col
EGoch Toiten Is the counsel for Col. Walsh In
THIS suit, and as II has oeen pubtsaed that he
will appear for BRADY should be Dc indicted the
opinion has been strengthened that there is a
cor Eectlon between the cases. on the other
hand IL is stated that Col. Tot.en has been
WalSh's legal adviser for some years past ana
that no differences can be drawn from his ap-
pearance for him In this Instance. Col Cook
spa ctal assistant attorney general having
Charge OF the case. did not state yesterday what
beanng. If any, this suit would have on the in
yestigauon. but he remarked thar he would not
te surprised II there was developed lust the
testimony that is needed.
ANOTHER SUIT EXPECTED.
Col Walsh, the plaintiff IN the above suit it
is stated, when he became contractor for route
40, l0l made contract 20 pay Hind5 or UInds'
wife S2o0 600 out OF the proceeds OF the service

SALT LAKE, U. T.. June ll.-Learning that
Clerk Adams, disregardng Gov. Murray's Ger
t1ficate, had placed Cannon's name on the roll
OF m mbers OF the House OF Representative,
Mr.. Campbell yesterday brought suit in the
third district court here to establish the fact
that Cannon was not citizen; was incapable
or becoming one at the time he claims to have
been naturaliZe6; to annul and declare void
the bogus certificate OF naturalization upon
which he depends, because 1t was fraudUlently
obtained. and Is not part OF the records OF
tie clerk for 50, without any proceedings being
had In court IL will be shown that when
Cannop's certificate purportS TO have been is
sued he had not resided In this country rlve
years. or one year, and WAS therefore not en-
titled to be naturalIzed under the statutes ana
this certificate, besides being void on Its face,
10 the absence OF any legal record OF his natu-
raliZatfon is voidable, because 40 court could
legally have Issued it in that time, even IL 1t
had so desired.

one victory OF the law would be the signal for
others. The objections to such an experiment
are obvious but not conclusive The forcible
dispersion OF such mob In Ireland would be
certainly followed by a howl OF eXecratiou
from their parliamentary friends and clam
pions. The Irish press, which is silent over
injuries to the police, would be eloquent 10 the
case we are now SuppOsfng; but the land eigue
