ESPECIAL TO THE SENTINEL
WASHINGTON, April 29.-In the Dorsey
case yesterday, Woodward's examination
was resumed, and he read the circular sent
out by Brady, with the initials W. II.
t. William II. Turner marked upon the
corner, directing the Postmasters along
the route to fill up the blanks inclosed,
which provided for an increase Of service
from two trips to three trips a week, and
to see that they were made within so
hours. A letter from Dorsey to Brady, in
Rerdells handwriting, was also read, con-
corning an increase Of service on the same
route. Another letter, endorsed petition,
filed with the Department for increased
service, saying the service is necessary to
his (Dorsey's) personal knowledge. The
introduction OF these letters was attended
by a constant wrangle between counsel, but
the Court steadily overruled all objections
and admitted the letters. In the course OF
his remarks, Merrick said that he would
state right there that the Government had
ample evidence to prove the guilt of
Stephen W. Dorsey.
Ingersoll-Ill bet you one thousand
dollars you have not.
Merrick-That is not the way to try
cases in law.
Ingersoll-You know the old saying,
Put up, or shut up"

would show that Dorsey knew that
petitions were being prepared in advance

and embracing the names of civil II
military officers and prominent citizens.
He also read letters from Senator Chatfee,
and other prominent persons, urging upon
General Brady an increase on this route.
On cross-examination, the witness stated
that there was nothing extraordinary on
the face Of the circular sent out by
Brady to the Postmasters, relative to ex-
pediting route No. SO, 145. 1t was not an
unusal proceeding. The case will be re-
called on Thursday next.
