Star Route Cases.

Washington, TN the star route
cases to-day, Cook, Of the counsel
for government, made an argument
against the motion to quash the
criminal information, prefaeing the
argument by saying it might be
supposed he would reply to the
vltuperatien which the defense had,
through hired scribblerS and
through the press, bestowed upon the
attorney general, postmaster general
and himself, but it could not be
done. This was not a proper place
to do it. A lawyer, in addition to
his other qualities, should ipvari-
ably possess those Of gentlemen,
and this consideration would re-
strain him from any reply which
might otherwise be justified in
regard to these personal assaults.
In the star cases Cook said the
statute Of limitation required
the filing OF an information. How
that happened it was not for him to
say. 1t would live in the annals of
the court that the grand jury did
take a recess for ten days, and that
it was therefore impossible to bring
the star route cases before it within
these ten days. He had had no
notice, directly or indirectly, of the
recess of the grand jury. He had
been called by telegraph to Long
Branch to consult with the attor-
ney-general acknowledgement and
Mr.. Bliss; and when he reached this
city on his return he learned that
the grand jury had adjourned. There
was but one pathway lett open, and
with a great effort, and with con-
stapt work far through the hours Of
night, the information was prepared
and filed. There was, therefore,
necessity for filing the information,
otherwise the statute of limitation
would have been an effeetual bar
to prosecution. Cook then proceeded
to argue that conviction in these
cases would not make the accused
infamous, and therefore the position
OF the defense on that ground could
not be maintained. In this connec-
ton he quoted from a decision Of
the supreme court, District of Col
umbla, that crime is Infamous when
the penalty pronounced against the
offender is deprivation Of his civil
rights and his privileges such as
Sitting upon a Jury; and in the alb
sence of such fOrfeitures the crime
was not Infamous unless expressly
pronounced such. Brewster, on the
| same side, will make an argument
| tomorrow.

The search Expedition.


San Francisco, THE steam
Whaler BeIoidere has arrived; also
the Whalers Northern Light, DGa0n
and R0t1601O. 1t appears the DcaOn
did not speak the Arctic relief
steamer Rodgers, as reported on Sat-
urday, but did speak the whaler
Pactfc which had communicated
with the Rodgers. To-day we have
direct news from the Rodgers. The
BelDidere spoke her on September
9th, near Herald Island, Steaming
south for winter quarters, which
she will make probably at st.
Lawrence Bay. The Bezvidere
brought mails from the Rodgers,
from which and from a conversation
between Captain Owen of the BeZvi-
dere and Lieutenant Berry of the
Rodgers the following facts are
learned: Lieut.. Berry found Wrangel
Land to be an island. He sent a
party from the Rodgers out in small
boats to explore the land. They re-
turned to the Rodgers, having gone
completely around it. The party
also surveyed different parts of
Wrangel Island. The Rodgers did
not go around it, lying up while the
party in the boats were out. The
RodgerS, after having established
Wrangel to be an island, steamed
one hundred and odd miles north
and northwest in search eff further
land, but failed to find any. Lieut..
Berry assembled a mountain on it.
The season had been most favorable
for exploration on account of the
openings. Notwithstanding the
stormy weather, Capt. Owen said
that from his observations he
would not be at all surprised to hear
OF the Jeanette coming home by
way of Gruntara. The RODGERS
intends to send out a sledge party
from its winter quarters to explore
the coast of Siberia. She expects to
leave her winter quarters next
June, and go as far north as pos
sible.
Following is later last of the
catch for the season, which is be-
lieyed to include the totals: BeIci-
dere, twenty whale; AbrGnp Barker,
nine; atlantic. six; Coral, fifteen |;
Eliza, three; Fleet1Oi71g, thirteen !;

THANKSGIVING.

Washington, 1.-THE President
has issued the following proclama
ton: 1t has long been the pieuS
custom of our people with the
closing of the year too look back
upon the blessings brought to them
IN the changing course of the
seasons, and to return solemn thanks
TO the all giving source from whom
they flow, and although at this
period, when the falling leaf adj
monishes US that the time of our
sacred duty is at hand, our nation
still lies in the shadow of the great
bereavement and mourning which
has filled our hearts, and finds sor-
roWful expression toward the God
before whom we but lately bowed
in grief and supplication, yet the
countless benefits which have been
showered upon us during the past
twelve months, call for our fervent
gratitude and make it fitting that
we should rejoice with thankful
ness that the Lord in his infinite
mercy has most signally favored
this country and people. Peace
without and prosperity within have
been vouchsafed to us. No hostilities
have visited our shores. The abund-
ant privileges of freedom which our
fathers left us in their wisdom, are
still our increasing heritage, and if
in parts of the vast domain some
affection has visited our brethren in
their forest homes, yet even this
calamity has been tempered and in
a manner sanctifed by the generous
compassion for the sufferers, which
has been called forth throughout
our land. For all these things it is
meet that the voice of the nation
should go up to God in devout hom-
age.
Wherefore I, Chester A. Arthur,
President of the United States, do
recommend that all people observe
Thursday, the oath day of Novem-
Der, instant, as a day of national
thanksgiving and prayer, by ceas-
ing, so far as may be, from their
secular labors. and meeting at their
several places Of worship, there to
join in aScriblng honor and praise to
Almighty God, whose goodness has
been so manifest in our history and
in our lives, and offering earnest
prayers that his bountieS may con
tinue to us and our children.
In witness whereof, etc.
CHESTER A. ARTHUR.
By the President:
JAS. G. BLAINE,
Secretary of State.

Quakers and MOdOcs.

Philadelphia, THE papers say
it is a curious and interesting fact
that the remnant of the band of
Modoc Indians now established in
Indian Territory have taken very
kindly to the teachings and assist
ance offered them by the Friends.
Some of the agencies and missionary
laborers of this religious body have
been laboring among them with great
success and established a meeting
for worship after the Friends order
which the Modocs regularly take
part in. Last week six of the lads
of the tribe arrived in Philadelphia,
having left Fort Laramie ON Mon
day to be placed at the Emlen
School, an institution in Mont
gomery County, conducted by the
Friends.

Truth Plainly Told.

Knoxville Tribune: Gov. Hawkins
has appointed Scott Bennett, Of Hun

1t seems that nothing which is not of
Huntingdon born, is fit for the Offices

Hawkins. Something like the above
Office was due to East Tennessee; and
we had expected that Mr.. V. F. Cos
sett, ofthis city, who was an appli-
cant, would have gotten it. He has
boon a hard worker for his party and
has the business capacity to fill the
office well. We do rot exactly see
where loyal East Tennessee is getting
her reward for constancy. Without
the aid of East Tennessee Gov. Haw-
&ins would have yet been a private

why Robertson was AppOiM-
led.

Washington correspondent Of the
Cincinnta Gazette. The fact which
decided the President to nominate
Mr.. Robertson as collector has at last
become known, and it must remove
the doubts os q large number Of those
who have questioned the policy of the
Presidents first step, even while sup
porting him since against the course
taken by Mr.. Conkling.
1t appears that it had been decided
to appoint Mr.. Robertson to some
prominent Office in New York, and
this conclusion had been reached be-
fore the first batch of nominations for
that State was made. Just at this
time the President was given to un
derstand in q way which admitted of
no mistake that the late Senator
Conkling would insist upon CONTROL
ing the custom-house appointments
whenever a change should be made.
As soon us the President became
convinced of this, no decided to make
a change in the custom-house at once
and have the fight out on the thresh-
old Of his administration rather than
to have it injected into the middle of
his term, as it would have been had
he waited till Merritt's term expired.

COnklIng Refuses TO Confer.

A Washington dispatch to the
Times says: There is an interesting
piece Of histors in relation to the con-
test between Conkling and the Ad-
ministrahon, which should be made
known. On the day following that
on. which the President sent Robert
sons name to the Senate, it was
known beyond doubt hal Conkling
and the representatives of New York
were greatly dissatisfied. On that
day, two members of the Cabinet
called upon the President and sug-
ggsted that q conference should be
held between the President on one
hand and the Vice President and the
two New York Senators on the other.
The President accepted the sugges-
tons, and set apart that evening for
the interview. The two members of
the Cabinet made arrangements, as
they thought with the President and
the two Senators for a conference, and
it was understood it should take place
at $50 at the White House. After
ward Conkling demurred and refused
to go, although his companions were
willing to attend. On this account
the interview did not take place. The
President waited an hour and a half
for the expected visitors. 1t is known
that had that conference been held
an attempt would have been made to
readiust the matter satisfactorily to
ali persons concerned.
