As was almost universally anticipated
would be the case, Judge Cox yesterday
dismissed the information against
Brady and others and discharged
the defendants, on the ground that
citizens charged with infamous crimes
are protected by the Constitution from
trial until after presentment or indict-
ment by grand jury, The law also pro-
tects citizens from indictment by u
grand jury, except upon legal evil
dence. From all of which it would
seem that the great star-route drama is
substantially closed. The busy Gibson
has been employing his peculiar faculty
in hunting for evidence since the 10th
day of March last, Cook and Kinds have
been at work in the same direction since
May. They have during all this time
failed to produce solitary witness before
the grand jury, although for six months
there has been continuous opportunity.
The Attorney-General has entirely aban-
doned the cases. Thegrand array of able
counsel brought into the case to sustain
the proceeding by information based upon
no evidence, failed 10 secure q standingin
court for that form Of proceeding.
OF course Cook, Gibson Il Co., will re-
main at their posts as long as they are
permitted TO draw pay without producing
results, and will chatter like magpies

Notwithstanding all the denials, it
looks Us though President Arthur had given Mac
Veagh n lecture on his duties rs Attorney General.
If MacVcagh is paid for doing anything he ought
to be made do II, or else step down and out" lie
is entirely too "toney" for the people OF this
country. win some one rise and explain what
the duties of MacVeagh really are? There
has always been sort OF mild belief that
somehow, or in somcway not clearly shown,
the high officials and heads Of departments at
Washington were the servants of the people, but
MncNcagh braces back ON his dignity aud does
not propose TO enact that role. Uncle Sam should
settle with MncVongh ut once, and II anything is
owing, pay him oil, and then no matter what the
size of our rCvCred unClcs boot is. II should be APP
piled ut once TO that part of the Attorney General
where II would do the most good.-.uincie Daily

New York.


The New York election returns show
that the Stalwarts maintained their rep
utation for party fidelity and refused to
b. goaded by their traducers into antag-
onism or indifference. True, some thou
sands of them refused to vote for Peep
ing Jenny" Hustled, the knight of the
step-ladder, but only by his defeat was
any detection made manifest. This won
derful paciiication of the warning ele-
ments in the Republican party i'll New
York is largely due TO the forbearancc of
Mr.. Conkling, the calm strength of the
President, the good words of Senator
Miller in the New York convention, the
active efforts of Mr.. Patt, the appoint
ment of Judge Folger to the Treasury De-
partment, as well as the active labors of
Senator Lapham and the whole congress
sional delegation II is still more largely
due TO the patriotism and devotion to Re-
publican principles of the majority Of the
voters of the great Empire State. The
chastisemcnt of Hustled WAS Il sufficient
rehuke to the influences which procured
his nomination. 1t is but II scratch, and
will breed no rcsentmcnts.
The years history of New York poll
ties has been indeed stirring one.
It's beginning saw General Arthur di-
recting the campaign in that State
and General Grant and Senator Conk-
ling, after making their|Westofn tour
at his request, taking the encmy's
works in New York by storm. The clec-
ton being over, there followed the weeks
of doubt as to whether the powerful ele-
mcnt which had supported Grant would
be substantially represented in the new
Government. Especially was there
anxiety concerning the relations
which the new President might decide
upon with the able and eminent leaders
Of the party in New York From various
cal'ecs not necessary now TO rcuapulate
il WAS, us We think unfortunately, decided
70 base the Administrations claim to
public favor upon entire freedom from
any relations whatever with the Stalwart
side of the party, and especially with
lhat element in the States of New York
and Pennsylvania.
Through all these stormy months the
Republican party has retained the
strength which it has just shown, The
death of the President has chastened
the party and the narrow margin by
which it retains power in the great En-
pire State forbds the revival of bitter
striles by any who sincerely regard it,
continued ascendancya us necessary for tht
national welfare.
No man is q Republican who desires
to reduce the party down to the strength
Of the faction TO which he may belong
There is no fuaton Of the party which
unaided by those it antagonizes, cat
carry the country. The party itse
probably could not carry the country
upon old traditions aud exploded issue
All that can be hoped for is that, by ,
union Of all factions in the party, and o
all liberal elements outside of it, BOUr
6oa restoration may be averted in 1884
TO that end all political energies should
now be directed
