Coutinuat,on of the Examination OF Wit.
ue.ses for the Government.


New HAVEN, April %.
In the Malley case the examination oil Dr,
Prudden was resumed this morning. The
witness described the characteristics oil
drowned persons, but said none of those signs
were found upon Jennie Cramer. When ne
examined the body of Jennie Cramer he de-
tected an odor of decomposition, but no other
smell. Found nothing IN the genital organs,
but found sand in the upper portion OF the
windpipe The water and sand might have
fioated into the body after death, but it would
be difficult for it to wash into the lungs. Ex-
posture to the air might dissipate signs OF
drowning He should expect to find sand In
the lungs of drowned person if the breeze
was blowing at the time, which might blow
particles into the mouth.
DIR. William II. Hotchkiss testified to re-
ceiving jars with portions of Jennie Cramer s
remains from DIR. Prudden and turning them
over to Professor Chittenden.
Professor Chittenden Their testified in refer
ence to the chemical analysis he made OF
portions of the body.
Prof Crittenden testified that he found in
the internal organs l.l694 grains of white
oxide of arsenic. Tomorrow he will testify
as to what he found in other parts of the
body which he examined.

The prospective loss of Blaine-though we
would not not for an instant venture to dis
pute the righteousness Of Perry Belmonts

walk on him, and ride back and forth on him

. certain amiability of character which
cannot be mistaken, and which,
when combined with cannibalism, soft
ems its victim for his fate by fair notice,
from motives of humanity and not of epicure-
anism, he has done in this case all that could
reasonably be expected. He gave Blaine
forty-eight hours notice of his fate. An an
gel could not have done more. Mr.. Blaine
knows-must know from the manner in which
Perry Belmont said on Nondyy that when
'certain questions come up he would be
"willing to enter into their discussion that
in the language of Perry Belmonts constitu-
cnts, his goose was cooked" If he did not
learn it from Perry Belmon.'s own statement
he must have gathered it from the account In
The World newspaper. which wells its proph-
ecy Of Biaines final discontinue under the
careful statement that the taste of what may
be expected by what has already occurred
has aroused lively anticipations." Blaine
himself must know by this time that there's
no use. Without knowing Perry Belmont he
blindly tackled him, and rushed upon his
fate. What the ides of March were to
Caesar. it is quite manifest Perry Belmont is
TO Blaine. But there is no denying that
Blaine. like Caesar, rushed upon his fate.
And still we say his fate somewhat saddeps
US. He has survived so many encounters,
has been so often wiped out, so MANY times
been blessed with obituaries and enjoyed the
rare felicity of hearing his enemies say kindly
truths over his coffin, that we had almost
come to think he was immortal, and that so
long AS we lasted we should continue to see
him killed two or three times year, only to
rise like the phoenix. Alas we did not take
Perry Belmont into the account. Poor Blame.
Having survived Conking, Ben Hill, Eaton,
Ben Butler and whole RATS of statesmen OF
all parties who in the past dozen years have
given out confident predictions of his decease
only to find that he was altogether the most
active person at the funeral-he finds himself
at this late day perishing under the heel OF
Perry Belmont. And yet we can hardly muir
muir. We were fond of Blaine. But he
should not have been so rash. He should
not have had the temerity to tempt the wrath
of Perry Belmont. Perry reaches out Tor
him to. day. And we-ah, mourning we've
wait for his remains. To-day Perry Belmont
chews him up and sends the fragments OF him
to his friends. Let US meet the pieces at
Jersey City.

HOUSE.

WASHINGTON, April p.
The House resumed consideration of the

argument in support of the views of the mi.

Mr.. Lynch, the contestant, was accorded
the floor. He confined himself to the consid-
Grafton of the disreptuable system of the cleo

was natural and necessary outgrowth, and
asserted that contestee in this case was liv-

stifled public justice.
Gen. Chalmers replied to Lynch's speech
and gave a comprehensive review of the case
In conclusion he said: .'If reason and shame

Poor Blaine.

The destruction of Mr.. Blaine is at length
promised under circumstances which seem to
leave no question as to his fate. The man
who in long and eventful political career
has encountered and overcome thousand
perils of every name and nature, at last looks
Nemesis panoplied as a polo player on a pony
waits to ride back and forth rough-shod all
over him. Upon this bank and shoal of
time few hours remain for Blaine. Short
shrift gives Perry Belmont when once his ire
10 reused. Not that this avenging angel
swoops down, as one might say, like the
proud rooster of the dunghill upon the June
and jejune bug, without mercy and without
warning. Perry Belmont, if we may indulge
for q moment in the idiom of his own high
bred constituents. is not ''that kind Of a hair
pin." Ample notice has been served on
Blaine. There can be no plea of want Of
notice or lack of time for preparation; and
We are quite sure that to the most urgent xp-
peals for delay Perry Belmonts stern sense
Of justice will permit him to grant no re-
prieve. So long ago as Monday Blaine was
warned what fate had in store for him. He
could not fail to read it in the fateful glitter

tim than for poor debtor in the clutch of .

THE STAR ROUTE CASES.
Consideration of the Rerdell Case.

WAsHINGToN, April %.
In the Rerdell star route case to-day. p. o.
Inspector Woodland testified. He was present
at the interview between Rerdel and Post
master James and Attorney McVeagh. The
testimony was mainly corroborative to that
given yesterday. Rerdell said he was sorry
IL break with Dorsey, because they had been
friends for a long time. He said he after
wards went to New York to endeavor to get
Dorsey to make similar confession, but
failed. James did not seem disposed to
assume any responsibility in the matter, and
advised Rerdell to go to the attorney general.
Rerdell said they (the combination) soon got
rid of Boone, because they wanted his place
for Vail. The combination was probably
formed to secure contracts awarded upon july
LIST, 1873. 1t would have been impossible for
them to obtain awards if they had not COM
bined before February of that year. Rerdell
did not say when or where blank bids had
been prepared. Rerdell had said James NJ.

had been given 1000 shares to influence his
official action. He did not give the date OF
this transaction. No explanation of Dorsey s
singular course in making these movements
was given. A. NJ. Gibson also received ? .oOO
shares of stock. He (Rerdell) did not know
why this payment was made. Auditor Nc

Continuing his account of the interview

$4,000 salary, and had father -in-law on,
of business, and asked if it would not be pos
sible to secure place as messenger in one
of the departments.

be no difficulty about getting the place.
