The Star Route Cases.

A VIGOROUS PROSECUTION OF THEM TO BE
MADE.
EX-District Attorney George Bliss. of New
York, will have the management of the star
route cases which will come before the grand
jury now within few days. 1t is stated, by
those connected with the prosecution, that the
evidence in some of the cases is all arranged and
ready for presentation. 1t is urged in some
quarters that the term of Postmaster General
James will expire by limitation on the 18th of
next month, under the law providing that the
term of the Postmaster General shall be for and
during the term of the President by whom he
was appointed and one month over. Those who
take this view maintain that President Garfield's
term of office ended with his death. Ex-Dis-
trict Attorney Bliss takes this view of
the question as do other lawyers. But
should it be determined that this is
the proper construction of the law
it is stated in high official circles that the Presi-
dent will re-appoint General James to hold office
until the star route cases shall have been dis
posed Of There is no doubt but that the PROSE
cution mean to push things from now on 1t
Is claimed that the disabled condition of Presi-
dent Garfield prevented the prosecutors from
making any progress during the summer eX-
cept in the way of collecting and preparing evil
dence. The President. it is said has expressed
the wish that the shall be pressed for trial
and that nothing shall be spared to convict ac-
cused persons if they are guilty Since Gen.
James took charge of the Post Office depart
ment he has saved to the government the
amount OF 81 100000. most of which was
saved by cutting down the enormous expenses
OF the star route system; and the records
show that not more than fifty complaints of the
reduced service have been received.

ALLEGED PLOT TO ASsASsINATE president
ARTHUR
What Two Men Were Heard to Say.

sworn statement was yesterday filed in the
police department by Mr.. Bayley, who is an
attache of the Army Medical Museum,
Surgeon Generals department. to the effect that
about midnight last Monday night, while in his
room in the house No. 461 Missouri avenue, he
overheard two men talking of plot to assassin
ate President Arthur; that he (Bayley) waslying
in his bed, which was against the front window,
and the window blinds were closed; that two
men stopped on the sidewalk near tree box,
and one asked the other "Will you swear to it,"
The latter replied Eyes. 1 will. He swore
that he would kill the President in one month"
The one who said this remarked that the man
whom he referred to- but who was not named,
was Garfield republican" Mr.. Bayley threw
open the blinds and the two men walked hur-
riedly away. Bayley saw them and could, he
thinks, identify them. There may not have been
any special meaning in the conversation, but
the chief clerk of Bayleys division
advised him to report the matter
to the chief of police. The police authorities
have not made any arrests yet, but they have
observed some vigilance as to the President
thinking it wise to take that precau-
ton: Mr.. Bayley is young man, and nephew
of Hon. S. p. Bayley, of Alexandria, who was
the republican candidate for Congress in that
district last year.

During the present campaign we
want it distinctly understood that The
News is not a Democratic "annex"
nor Republican side show. What
little it may say politically shall
be for the best interest of the people
in our judgment, aside from all party
affiliations. Our independence in this
respect may cause us to lose in pc
cuniary sense and in other ways, but
only temporarily. Patronage of any
kind from men who become offended
at the truth is not worth having and
we can do without it.

tie township Committee, aud two
years as member Of the Board of
Freeholders, and has proved himself q
capable, conscientious man in every
thing with which he has been ident:-
fed, whether for himself or the people.
He is man Of excellent disposition
and good bearing and meets the de-
mands of his party for good candi-
date.
George P. Conover, the present in
cumbent Of the Sheriff's office, is the
candidate for Surrogate. The Herald
says he asks for bis election because
be is poor and needy.
To the denomination of Wallace Lip
pincott for Collector the ticket is
materially strengthened. He has made
an efficient public servant and has the
confidence of the people In his posi-
ton.
For Auditor, Albert 81. Silpath of
Burlington is young man with good
qualifications and gentleman of good
character and standing.
George G. wins Of Florence, the
candidate for Steward, is farmer and
in business as an auctionear. He is
well known in his neighborhood and
to his party.
For Coroners, Messrs. Cowperthwait
Of Little Egg Harbor and Harry T.
Warner of Bordentown are fully quail
flied to perform the duties ofthe Office.
Now that the contention observable
in the convention has died out it may
be said that the party will support the
ticket, but from present indications
the candidate for Surrogate will not
receive the support of the party paper,
the Herald, which will undoubtedly
act as a drawback.
