Police Protection Needed.

IOWt Fdit0T or TIE EDenln1 CFItlc:
Please insert the following In your paper In
the interest Of school children;
AS two unobtrusiye little girls were quietly
walking homo from school through the Capitol
grounds on Tuesday evening, they wero rudely
set upon by four OF Ave colorod school girls,
who made the insolent remark that the llrst.
mentioned were "trylng to make q mash {"
upon some colored boys near by, and then
knocked them down and Kicked them,
Now, as that part of the city is very lonely,
and such things are OF frequent occurrence
there-where even ladies' arc sometimes In
sulted-I think 1t very necessary that some
ofllcer should DO placed there to prevent a
recurrence Of the disgraceful AFFAIR.
The nbove occurrence took place In the broad
lght of day In the Capitol grounds, ON the
east side, WIDOW,

Anew phase In tho star-Route cases ap-

tho cases. on tho 18Th OF september lust, Mr..
Dickson addressed tho following letter to tho

United StdtoSi
SIR During tho progress Of tho Stor.Route
trial an attempt was made 70 corrupt tho Jury
impannelod In the caso and an onicer Of your
Department named Henry A. Bowen, n special
agent assigned to Arizona, Is guilty
my Judgment and verdict. A sworn statement
of the detailed facts has been lled with tho
District Attorney OF the District OF Columbia,
which is accessible TO you and to which re.
spectfuily call your attention. As a citizen OF
tho United States, demand from you protec-
tioD against the venomOus, malicious and con.
temptible assaults upon my private character
the Department OF Justice for daring TO per-
form sworn duty according to my honest
convictions OF right and Justice.
Respectfully, WM. DICKSON.
According to Mr.. Dlckson's statement tho
attempt at bribery occurred In the latter part
OF August, and 1t Is known that he promptly
informed Judge wyllc, who presided at the
trial, OF II. As soon as tho trial was over hc
furnished the Department OF Justice with n
sworn statement, and demanded prompt In
yestigation OF tho matter. In the meantime
Bowen and Brewster Cameron wero on tho
Pacific Coast. Returning 10 the East, Bowon
was soon arrested In Philadelphia for an at.
tempted fraud, In which "lady friend"
figured In his behalf. Instead OF investi.
eating Bowen and Cameron, the Depart
ment Of Justice It seems preferred ID In
yestlgato Mr.. Dickson, and on Bowcn's
afIldavit and that OF n Juror In the case has
preferred two charges against Mr.. Dickson,
ono of embracery, !. O., IN attempt corrupty
TO influence the Jury, and the other OF con-
spiracy to bribo Bowen This is, 1t seems TO
us, rather peculiar performance for tho De-
partmont OF Justice. Whom its own officers
are accused OF wrong doing, and an investiga.
ton demanded after n delay OF moro than q
month, 1t actually proceeds to the arrest OF
the citizen who brought tho accusation
In duo form TO tho attention OF the
law officers OF tho Government. 1t
Investigates the accusor and not the accused.
proper regard for law and honest dealing
would have prompted tho Attorney General,
wo think TO first doal with tho charges
brought by Mr.. Dickson, and when done with
this, to have given what attention was proper
II any, to the charges brought against him,
and which were never heard of until Bowon's
and Cameron's proceedings wore brought to
light.-1he baltimore Methodist.

Why do you attack Judge Wylio and attempt
10 defend and Justify the Republican gang?
Haven't you read the Barton letters and don't
you know that 1t was Barton's attempt to
blackmail the Soteldo boys that brought on
tho row? Why not keep your hands out OF It
and let the Repu0Iicdn- skin Its own skunks2
A CONSTANT READER.
WASHINGTON, Nov. g.
I'VE criticse Judge wylie because his rul.
ings perverted the law and made mockery of
Justice. We cannot DO made n party to- any
Inferior issue-and neither know nor caro-
what his relations were TO tho Soteldos. He
swore that he did not write the articles in
question, and 80 far rs responsibility went,
Soteldo might with as much proprioty and
Justice, have shot tho janltor Of tho building.
JudgcWylie is clearly unfit to SIT upon the
bench, and should either be forced TO resign
or DO removed. We have nothing against him
personally except his incompetency, added to
an Innrmity Of temper which makes 1t i'm.
possible for him to hold the scales of Justice
firm or oven. 1t Is In tho interest OF tho
public and not OF the Republican, that VIC havo
taken our position, and here We intend to
abide.-Ed. IOst.1

In A DISPATCH from Richmond General
Malone is made to appear as responsible for
the arrest of the judges of election. This
is incorrect, and is an injustice to the Re-
adjuster leader. As soon as General Malone
heard of the arrest of the judges he tele-
graphed his friends at Richmond that such
conduct would not do aud must be stopped.
Itwas stopped. Whatever General Mahonc's
faults may be, he certainly believes in n
free election and fair count"

OUR estimate of 1si,5Oo majority for
Cleveland was inaccurate. We were de-
pending on the Adirondack counties to re-.
duce the average, but they seem to have
been swallowed up in the general wreck.
The latest is 100 go.
The Evening critic., 1882-11-09

The MAGNITUDE and significance of tho
Democratic victory increases with every
fresh batch of returns. 1t is now evident
that their majority in the House will ex-
coed even the estimates Of their own COM
mittee. 1t cannot be less than 40, and
maybe GO. This, though not so overwhelm-
ing or so unexpected rout as that of
1874, is, nevertheless, an infinitely more
formidable reverse to the Republicans than
that was In 1874 the Democrats made
their principal gains in the South, where
as the sequel showed, local strength was q
cause of National weakness.
But this time the Democratic gains are
entirely in the Northern States, and not
only that, but they have been most sue
cessful in States hitherto impregnably Re.
publican. New York, Indiana and New
Jersey have always been debatable ground.
But the Democrats have not made their big
gains of Congressman in those States. On
the contrary they, have invaded
such heretofore invincible territory
as Massachusetts, Michigan, Iowa and
Pennsylvania, and, according to present ap-
pearances, have routed their enemy most
signally on the very fields where he ought
to have been strongest.
In the South, on the other hand, the ten
dency has been against tho Democrats to
such an extent that it is at this writing
doubtful whether they have quite held
their own in that section. In view of
these considerations the history of 1874
must form an unsafe premise on which to
base any calculations for the immediate
future. The philosophy of the situation
must be sought in other directions and
these almost entirely speculative. OF
course much depends on the use the
Democratic party makes of its victory.
IL its control of the House is to be
signaliled by the reelection of Mr.. Randall
to the speakership, with the inevitable
Consequence of narrow policy and near
sighted economy, accompanied by great
deal OF sly jobbery under the back stairs,
the Democratic success of 1882 can hardly
do more than furnish conclusive reasons
for Democratic defeat in 1881 But this
which now seems to be the sole rational
hope of the Republican party-may not be
realized. There probably never was q
time in our history when the choice of q
Speaker Of the House Of Representatives
involved so much of destiny as it does
now.

GROVER CLEVELAND enjoys the envi-
able distinction of being elected by the
greatest popular majority ever given to
any candidate for any Office in any State
OF the Union. The largest majority hith.
erto given to any candidate for Governor
of State was that by which Brough beat
vallandingham in 1868. That was 100000.
The Grant electoral ticket carried Penn
sylvania in 1872 by still larger majority.
But there has never been anything like
Grover Clevelands majority-which, for
the sake of brevity, may just as well bc put
at 100000.
