The Dorsey letter..
WAsHINGToS, Aug. 21.-It seems the
PuDiicaslon OF the Dorsey letters is to
continue at intervals for some time Ia
come. 1t is known to friends of Gar.
neid that they fairly represent the press
ure which was brought To hear nr.on
MN from the stalwart division of the
party. They also treat in the main of
the composition of the cabinet and the
attitude which it was urged should he
assumed toward COnklinp, There is
also later series from the same Quarter
in regard to the New York contest after
the nomination of Collector RobertsOr,
and the resignation of Conkling.

Star Route Trial.
WAmINGToS, Aug. 2l.-In the star
route case today fotten called attention
to the fact that there vas not one order
that had been made by Brady. Every
order presented is merely a men,
Ordndum, not signed bv Thomas
Brady, bat simply signed "Brady."
There il not one word of evidence to
show that Brady ever certified that or
der to the Sixth Auditor. Was a name
to be guessed into prison or presumed
into jail! Charges have been made
against Turner. How in the name of
common decency has poor Turner been
dragged into the trial! What has he
done! Even Kerr has been bound
to admit that he could say naught
against him. II was one Of the
grossest Outrages ever perpetrated upon
an innocent man. There are other mo-
tives other than the vindication of the
law at the bottom of this extraordinary
prOceeeing--th extraordinary groub-
ing together of men from all parts OF
the land. He was willing to lay a wa
ger that this identical kind of prOsecu-
ton could be carried against any pub
lie officer charged with the disburse-
ment of money. 1t could be comment
ed upon with Just as much venom AZ
this case had been commented upon.
It could bo carried against the Secre-
tary of War for sending two regiments
Of troops to Tongue River, in order to
defend settlers.
Before the conclusion of Totten's re-
marks the Court adjourned.

meeting Of the Cabinet, held at Presi-
dent Arthur's house today, all the MEM
bers, except Secretary Teller and Post

mess WAS transacted, and the session
was more social one than otherwise
The cause of the meeting. az explained
by Secretary FOlger and Attorney Gene
raj Brewster, WAS that as Secretaries
Lincoln, Chandler and FOlger, and the
President, were in New York, Secretary
Frelinghuysen at Newark, and Attorney
General Brewster at Long Branch, it
was thought best to meet and inquire
whether anything in either Of the de-
partments required joint action. Moth
| ing of this nature came before the meet
ing. Both Secretary Folger and Attor-
ney- General Brewster denied that a
change in the heads of the departments
