Arrested FOR bribery.

WASHINGTON, October 96.-The first ar.
rest on the warrants issued against the
parties accused Of attempted bribery Of the
Star route jurors is Thomas Payne, n
middle.aged colored man, who was em-
ploycd by Fall, the Special agent Of the
Department OF Justice. Fall, Foote and
Shaw will doubtless be found, if diliycnt
effort is made. q b.
The offence with which they are charged
is punishable by n fine Of one thousand
dollurs, Imprisonment for one year. or
both. The affidavit OF Vim. X. Brown,
one Of the Star route Jurors, charscs that
Payne offered to pay him $500, and to
enter into an agreement i'll writing to that
effect, consideration for which on the part
OF Brown was to vote corruptly in render
ing the verdict.
The Issuing OF these wsrrants against the
parties named is the result OF the invesli-
CATION Of Gov. Wells, or m,her it las been
done by his directions. All the corrupt
acts were known before, he was employed,
and they were detailed in the atlidavits
published by Col. Iuycrsolf. II is sin.
gu!ur fact, but one thnt has been predicted
over and over again, that these corrupters
were the direct and Indirect agents OF the
Department OF Justice. Fall, ii is admitted,
was especially employed, aud during the
time he was rendering service and report
ing to his employers, he mentioned the use
he was making OF these hisaids. The prose.
cution OF the party will be under the dirpc.
ton Of Mr.. Wells, and II day for the trial Of
Payne will soon be fixed. Several Of the
jurors, including Dixon, will doubtless be
witnesses, and it is not impossible that Mr..
Driver, the proprietor OF the festive place
where Mr.. Cameron and Brown were in
the habit OF resorting for special consulta-
ton, will come forward, and testify us to
the proceedings ut his garden, and rs. to
any alleged pecuniaiy delinquency on the
part OF the guests.
