misconduct as, officers of the government,
which allegations are false in particular

CHICAGO. Nov. 26.-Col. Ingersoll, of
counsel in the star route case, said in an
Interview on the subject of Saturdays dis
missal by President Arthur: 1T is the part
of the government TO ::terrorize the jury
j believe Henry is as honest mau as ever
lived. lie never did favor to defendants:
simply did his duty, no more,
no less. Tie reason why they
want him out is that they may put in
sonis one who will 90 more than his duty.
They wurs to get absolute control Of the
jury fneSer dreamed Ainger OF Parker
were friends or enemies of: departments.
These men have been; cut down without a
hearing. Nothing more unjust has been
done in the history Of the country. The
idea that a citizen OF, officer cannot, give
his opinion of Sc. the . innocence. of
a.; party without being prosecuted
by US thegs, government, without
Feneval, is simply horrible, their idea is
that every officer and dog that can be,
should be Kissed on any department by
the attorney general. The doctrine is too
contemplate to, find Judgment in the brain
Of decent men. / have not read the let
tiers of the attorney general and Mr. Bliss,
and don't intend to-. know there is not
word of truth in them, and don't care to
take up my time reading what is not so.
1t has bean talked that the marshal would
be, removed, and that everybody who
does not think Brewster thea most wonder
full of men would follow him. I believe
Henry, Anger and Parker were all re-
moved because they are honest men. The
Of Justice has grown desperate
since its paid agents were con-
vieted of trying, to bride the jury. q If
the next jury quits and it never will
convict presume Brewster will want all
the jury convicted of conspiracy to acquit.
He wants to spare this one, that's ALL I
know nothing about Spencer and Helms,
except that Spencer is government witness.
It is sim plytinfanlous to remove men with

CH1cAeo, Nov. 2e.-The Times will say
editorially, "While it is possible there may
be some important political significance
