The new census returns show that within the

The Star Routs Cases

a despatch fro,n Washington, d. G., Jaae
q. says Judge Cox, of the District Court
charged the Grand Jury to-day, making IN
cidentaf reisrence TO what he called certain
ALLEGED frauds connected With the postal ser
vice. He said that the attention Of the jary
would be called, as be understood, p these
frauds, and he admonished them 70 keep lhelr
counsel secret Ii is certain thar there will
be no prosecutions before September, should
the Grand Jury fad indictments. JudEs Cox
has decided to adjourn the court on the "a Of
July for the summer vacation, I he jury wall,
therefore, only consider the case OF persons
already committed 70 jail, and can barely
finish these cases before adjournment Al
torney- General Macy eagh expected 10 be
able to begin the prosecutions Immediately,
he having evidence which, in his opinion,
would nave led to the finding Of indictments.
Senator Dorsey and Mr.. Brady came on
from Kew York yesterday, expecting that the
cases, If there we're any, wonld be brought up
at once They we're IA consultation with
their counsel until O lats hour last nignt.
During the vacation the Government Will
continue the investigation. IL Is sald that
the Attorney General has prepared eighty

believes ths Grand Jury will find the majority

William II. Turner. priBeipgl clerk in the
contract department Of the Post Oaice, was
Yesterday removed, it is believed on account
Of some connection he was discovered to have
with the Star route frauds.
When Collector Merritt was heEe he said to
an intimate friend that he did not know when
he would retire from the Custom House, be-
cause he did not know when the trouble at
Albany would be settled. lie vas satisfied
that Judge Robertson would not resign has
seat in the Senate until Senators were elee-
ted and an immediate election or one that
would enable Robertson to assume the duties
of Collector by July l looked very dubious.
Mr.. Merritt was inclined to believe that the
mater you'd be compromised by the election
of StaIwaFt and an Administration Senator.

denomination of Thos. J. Heating,

The denomination of Hon. Thomas j.
Heating for Comptroller, by the Demoe-
racy of Maryland, was nomination that
was demanded by recent occurrences; one
that came from the hearts of the people,
and was not the prompting of rings, Bosses
or of leaders. His administration of the
Office for several years past has been able,
efficient and satisfactory, and the recent
attempt of Gov Hamilton to cast roproach
upon him determined him to stand for
another term and moved the people to sus-
tain him from unjust, uncalled for, and IN
warranted attack upon his administration,
in which truth was subordinated to malice
aad ambition. Mr.. Heating could not
afford to retire under such circumstances,
and the party was driven to the support OF
a faithful officer of their own choosing, no
matter how much be would have preferred,
under ordinary circumstances, to retire,
and how much the party would have pre-
ferred, under different state of affairs, to
have honored some other able and faithful
member of the Democracy Of Maryland.
Gov. Hamilton, for the sake Of defeat
ing Mr.. Heating and getting control of the
Board of Public Works, attempted in re-
cent speeches and public letters to hold
Mr. Heating responsible for acts done
wears before he went into Office, but the
psople we're too intelligent to be hood
winked in any such manner, aud they have
answered Gov. Hamilton in tones that can
not be mistaken. The sinking fund, for
the destruction of which5Goy. Hamilton
desired TO hold Mr.. Heating responsible,
was first drawn upon by the nearly unani-
nous vote Of a Republican Legislature,
and the second time by the almost unani-
nous vote Of a Democratic Legislature,
and the whole was destroyed four or five
years before Mr. Heating entered Office.
To most people, except our carPins Gov
ernor. the destruction Of the sinking fund
was a wise measure. Had it been main
tanned the debt of Maryland to-day would
have been $4,000, 900, instead Of about
81 900. 900, and would have required Il
levy Of twenty-five cents on the $500, ex-
elusive Of the ten cents for public school
purposes. Only eight aud three-qaarter
cents are nov levied, exclusive Of the ten
cents for school purposes. Taxes have
been kept down by destroying the sinking
fund, aud The taxpayers viii not Gnd fault
with any one for the transaction.

Soribner for July.

The subject of Art, which the public ex-
poets to find treated, in some form, in every
number of SCRIByER, is represented in the
July number by two papers, by Mr.. W. c.
Brownell. Politics is represented by first
paper on ''The Peoples Problem by Albert
Stickney, Esq, author Of "a True Republic"
The writer considers the Boss system and the
Machine from historical point of view, and
with yigor and originality. He does not
prophesy smooth things, but shows up Amer
lean politics in very interesting and alarm
ing way. In succeeding papers he will give
some suggestions looking toward a remedy
for the present state of affairs. In fiction
there are the concluding parts of Mr.. Cables
Madame Delphine' and Mr.. Howell's
''Fearful Responsibility and second IN
stallment of humorous folk love OF Georgia,
under the title "a Rainy Day with Uncle
Remus' ''Dr. Dollinger and the Old Cath
Ole Movement in Germany is treated by
Prof George P. Fisher, of Yale College, and
the fine portrait of DoIlinger, by Lenbaeh, is
engraved by Fred. Jueugiag. Anilustrated
paper of special interest is The Sea,Horse .
(walrus) by Henry W. Elliott, who was the
first to discriminate the Atlantic from the
Pacific species, and who writes from intimate
personal knowledge of his subject. OF par
ticular interest is Mr. Maurice +. Egan's &C
count of ga Day in the Ma sh''-such being
the local name for the swampy resorts Of rail
and reed birds on the lower part Of the PENN
sula, between the Delaware and Schuylkill
rivers. The field is one entirely aew to the
magazines, and the picturesque and sporting
aspects of it are fully treated by writer and
artists. ''An Old Virginian, by John Esten
Cooke, is a study of the courtly type Of F. F.
", which, he says, is rapidly passing into
history. "Railway, Church-yard, and Gem
etery Lawn Planting is a brief and sugses-
tive illustrated paper by Samuel Parsons, Jr.
Perhaps the most popular paper in the num-
Der is Mr. Murfree's illustrated and descrip-
tive account of The Levees of the Mississip-
pi'-a topic which is just now Of special mo-
ment to the central and southern sections Of
the country. The writer. however, does not
deal with the economic or scientific sides Of
the subject, but with the '-big water Of 1874. =
the practical construction Of the leyces, fight
ing crevasse, etc.
In the departments, which have the usual
amount aud variety, mention may be made Of
discussion of cooperation, by reviewer
who thinks America an uaiavoraJle field for
it, a sketch Of cid New York Bohemianism,
and accounts Of an improved system Of vent.
