The ssar.Rou.e trials.

WAsHINGToN, December 7.-Iu the Su-
preme Court Of this District, criminal term,
this morning all jurors summoned being in
attend ance, the district attorney announced
ihe governmsnt was ready to proceed in the
case OF the Uuited States against Thomas j.
Brady and others.
Ingersoll submitted a motion for contin-
uAnce of the case on the ground of the i'll
ness OF Stephen w. Dorsey.
Judge Wylie overIuled the motion, but
Iogefsoll excepted 20 the ruling, and asked
tins to So his elienr's room and procure
his signature 10 paper, for which purpose
recess was grated.
At noon Wilson read long affidavit,
sworn to and signed by all the defendants,
setting out thatthsy cannot safely go to trial
at the present term, because of the acts OF
the Officers Of the government in endeavoring
to influence opinion against them. and to in
timidate and coerce the witnesses, jurors, and
officers oil the court, reciting the arrest of
d ckson, the removal from Office of Henry
Ainger et al for the avowed reason that they
were in sympathy with the defendants, and
expressing the belief that in the selection OF
talesmen, influences prejudicial to the de.
fendauis will be set at work, and that the ap-
pointment of McMichael as marshal, is part
of ;tha: scheme. The sffidavits also charge
that Judge Wylie is SO biased and prejndiced
against the defendants that he cannot faIriy y
and inpartially administer the law, and con
cludes BY requesting continuance OF the
case 10 the next term.
Judge Wylie said the paper was an insul
| to the court.
Ingersoll disclaimed any intention to offel
an Insult, whereupon Judge Wylie said
We'll, you may file the paper, but | shall
hear no more about it"
A motion for a continuance of the cas'
| on account of Dorsey's illness was refused
and The motion of Wilson, calling for bill
of particulars, oVerruled. Attorney Genera
Brewster occupies a seat in court.
The various preliminary motions made on

CIVIL-SERVICE REFORM,
Letter oTthe Massschusefts n sCfVII-Servtcs
Reform League.

BOSTON, MASS, December THE Massa-
chusetis Civil-Service Reform League has
sent to the representatives in Congress from
that State an appeal for support to the i'm
mediate passage of such laws as shall bring
about thorough reform of the government
service. Tue letter, which is signed by some
OF the most Influential men in the State, ssys:
"What Gen. Curtis is punished for Mr.. HUB
bell must not be free TO exac. We belieye
that the bill introduced by Mr.. Willie, OF
Kentucky, is we'll fitted TO effect the purpose,
and we trust that Ii will receive your hearty
support, unless a more effective plan is
presented. If the select committee on the
civil service, of which Mr.. Hubbell Is a
prominent member, should sill neglect to
report this bill to the House of Representa-
tives, we hope that you will cali for its re-
moval from their hands. But we believe
that no measure eau give entire protection
to government officers in the enjoyment OF
their salaries as long as appointments and
removals depend upon political influence.
The prevalen; theory that Federal officers
are the servants of the party in power must
give way 10 the older doctrine of our repub-
can government: that they are the servants
OF the people alone. When sscertained fiji
ness shall be substituted for favoritism po.
litical assessments ueed no longer be feared.
We appeal TO you to give your support to
| the Pendleton bill, or 10 some similar meas
ure, that the present Congress may not expire
witho It emph attic action by the Ma sschusett
delegation in..favor of administrative reforns
| and the better government and pCrer politics
] which it promises. We feel confident tha
/ such a course will receive the hearty ap
proval OF your constituents, and exert s
| strong influence in Congress and the nation.
