The star.Route Cases.

The following is thctext of Judge Cox's
reference to the star-route cases in his
charge 80 the grand jury yesterday:
II am Informed, by public rumOr only,
that during the present term your atten-
ton will probably be called to series of
frauds alleged to have been prpetrated
against the Government of the United
States in connection with the postal service;
in which, perhaps, both contractors and OIL
cials will he implicated. / am not advised
us to what form such charges will take, and
still less as to the persons involved only
deem it necessary to say to you, in general
terms, that, from the magnitude of the pub
lie service, the United States is exposed to
assault in SO many quarters, that tempta-
tiOns are so great, that private conscience
seems to be 30 much more bluntcd i'll refer
ence to dealings with the United States
than with private individuals, that the
only protection that the United States
has from this species of wrong-doing
is very stringent legislation. The purity of
the public service cannot be guarded and
protected unless laws of this kind are faith
fully and rigidly enforced. This is II sub
jcct that exctes a great deal of interest ut
the present time, and perhaps more espcci-
ally calls for the exercise, on your part, of
great care in the observance of those duties
which you have assumed generally, and
particularly to discharge from your mind
all such influences AS malice on the one
hand, and fear, favor or affection on the
other, and especially for the exercise of per-
feet secrecy in your deliberations and in
vcstigations concerning the subject. In all
your Investigations if you need advice, you
are at liberty to refer to the court or prose-
cutting officer. don't think that you will
be detained in this service, at present, more
a few weeks and then adjourn to a more
favorable season."

The Potomac Boat Club was the recipient
of practical testimonial by the presence at
the National Theatre of one of the finest
audiences ever brought together in WASH
ington to witness the Pirates of PenZancc"
performance, for the benefit of the club.
The object of the benefit was to aid in
the payment of the expenses of enlarging
and repairing their boat-house. 1t is graft
flying to state that the receipts were album
dainty sufficient,
The rendition of the pirates was us
perfect, in both musical and dramatic point
of view, as the brilliance aud intelligence
of the audience meritcd. The Mabel of Miss
Eva Mills has become so well known and so
successfully has she sustained this role, sur
passing even the assumption of this charac-
ter by any professional that has visited this
city that it only need be said that she fully
cqualed all her former efforts. Her pure,
sweet, and flexible voice was heard to cx-
cellcnt advantage, while her graceful and
lady-lillc acting proved that she perfectly
understood the character of General SANKEY'S
lovely daughter. Liberal applause followed
each vocal number, and she was the re.
cipicnt of some cxqusitcly beautiful
floral tributes Mrs. Il. S. Kimball
gave most pleasing representa-
tion of Ruth, her voice fully meet
ing all the requirements of the vocal
score, and her acting being intelligent and
effective. Mr.. John Pugh's Frederic was
excellcntly received. In fact, there are
very few tenors who are so effective in
operate roles rs Mr.. Pugh; for to n voice
of excellent quality he adds the ability,
rarely found in tenor, of being able to act
well. Mr.. Frank Pcarson's Police Sergeant
furnished the greatest possible amusement.
The quaint, stolid dignity Of the wooden
headed policeman was perfectly presented,
and he received decided encore for his
first solo. Mr.. Ed. Hay was the General
Stanley; and fully sustained the reputation
he has made in this character. The Apollo
Club made akish looking pirates and
ferocious guardians of the peace, while theiI
dark side of the picture was frightened and
illuminated by the beautiful faces and
brilliant attire of the young ladies who
personated General Sankey's daughters
The orchestra, which was large and effective
was under the direction of DIR. Il. s. Kim.

X. Sailer managed the stage the smooth.
ness of the performance is fully accounted
for.
