THE STAR ROUTE CASES.
New Indictments Presented by the
Grand Jury.

WASHINGTON, May 20.-The grand jury of
the Criminal Court of the District to-day
returned new presentments against Thomas
j. Brady, John NJ. Dorsey, Stephen W.
Dorsey, Montford G.. Reerdell, Henry NJ.
Turner, j. R. Miner, ]. NJ. Peck and Harvey
NJ. Vale, charging them with conspiracy to
defraud the United States in connection
with the awards Of the star route contracts.
The points of difference between these
new presentments and the old indictments
are given as follows: The name of j. L.
Sanderson is omitted, Vale is described as
Harvey NJ. Vale, otherwise as 81. NJ Vaile;
Reerdell is described as Montfort G. Reer-
dell, otherwise called NJ. G. Reerdell, other
wise called Monf0rd G. Reerdell. Four
allegations OF - overt acts CON-
mitted outside of the statute
of limitations have been omitted, and twelve
new ovsrt acts haYe been inserted, the acts
betag in the making of fraudulent claims
against the government based on fraudulent
allowance for an increase allowed by Brady.
A number of letters and petitions are
incorporated, and, finally, the date OF con-
spiracy is brought forward to May %, 1879.
The indictments are otherwise substantially
the same as those now being tried,
which will be dismissed and give place to
the new indictments. They cover one hun
dred and six closely written foolscap pages,
and it is thought by the prosecuting officers
that they close up several loopholes which
were left open In the old indictments. I'm
mediately after their presentation District
Attorney Corkhill asked the conxt to issue
bench warrants for the arrest OF the de-
PENDANTS, explaining that as they were al
ready under bond in the other cases,
he should not serve them unless it appeared
to be necessary. Mr.. Bliss stated that the
defendants would be furnished with printed
copies of the indictments before Monday.
Judge Wylie then issued an order making
the warrants returnable on Tuesday next.

AMERICAN SILKWORM CULTURE.
An Exhibition that is to be Given In

Neac York Sun.

The American Silk Exchange was incor-
porated last week, in this city, by ColoneI
Frederick Unbekant, John W. Fleck, Her
man Recke, Edward j. Gallagher and VIM
B. Smith. At preliminary meeting at 2.
Bond street, on Monday, Mr.. Smith was
electe d President, Mr.. Fleck Vice President,
and Colonel Unbekant Treasurer. The Ex
change will be open May 20.
The object of this exchange is to open up
a market for American silk producers, and
encourage silkworm culture in this country.
Raw silk Is now imported free of duty.
American cocoons of the best kind have
sold, 1t is said, at greater profit at Mar
seilles than could be obtained at home.
President Smith said yesterdayIto a Sun
reporter: 'If the mills will not buy our silk
! We propose to start a mill ourselves, IL we
saa make 1t pay, as / think we can. But we
sh2l probably not have to do that. As the
Sun stated last month, America consumes
annually $S5, 900, 900 worth of silk goods, of
| which e35, 600, 600 worth Is imported and

already emerged are In state of chronic
hunger, for mulberry trees are not VET in

THE CHURCHILL DEFICIENCY
Report of the Investigating Conn
mittee.

LITTLE Rock, May 21.-The long deferred
report Of the Senate investigating commit
tee on State Treasurer (now Governor)
Churchill's accounts and those Of the pres
ent State Auditor, Crawford, both running
through three terms of two years each, was
fled with the Secretary of State late this
afternoon. The committee have been at
work since March, 1881. Their finding
is that ex-Treasurer Churchill's books
fail to balance by $139, 400. from
which ne is entitled to credit for $24, 800 for
scrip turned over to Treasurer Woodruff,
but not credited to Churchill on his books.
The total deficit nearly all belongs to this
account. The scrip, Churchill and clerk
In his Office assert, was burned according to
law, though the books fail to show the pro-
per entries. Governor Churchill and his
bondsmen express confidence that when the
matter goes into court this will be shown.
He personally paid little attention to the
office, which was managed unsystematicallY,
and developments have not shaken public
confidence in his personal integrity.

Thinking Better of BeacOnsfleId
London Spectator.

On Wednesday last, the anniversary
of Lord Beaconsfeld's death, many of
his admirers in Parliament and at the
West End displayed primroses-Lord
Beaconsf1eld's favorite fower-in bou-
quets and button holes, by way of testi-
flying regretful memory and admiration
of his career. We have never affected
admiration of Lord Beaconsfeld's career,
except so far as great intellectual pow
ers, pertinaoiously applied, and never
d iunted by any kind of catastrophe. ex-
tort kind of admiration from us all.
Bat year without him has certainly IN.
creased, and very decidedly increased,
rather than diminished the estimation in
which we held those intellectual powers.
and, though we felt no wish at all to
join in this rather mawkish and inappro.
pirate expression of sentiment, we should
be sorry to let the anniversary of his
death go by without recording sincerely
some of the thoughts-not altogether I'm
kindly, though wholly without sympathy
for the principles and character of the
statesman - which the recollection of
that great career forces upon us.
