From the New York Herald.
Il Is now nearly year since the proceedings
against the star route swindlers were begun. and
although the accused pretended to be anxious for
the earliest opportunity to prove their Innocence
they have contrived, by taking advantage OF legal
technicalities, making motions for delay, etc., to
keep the charges against them from being inquired
into by jury. The cases were set down for trial
yesterday, but the defendants again moved for q
postponement and succeeded In getting respite
until to-day, when one OF their counsel as he In
timated yesterday, win doubtless have another
obstructive motion TO make. Attorney General
Brewster appeared In court yesterday for the frst
announced that the government 6 determined to
see whether these men are Justly or unJustly ac-
cused This is the very point that the 0bbeEs do not
want tested, but the Indications now are that they
are speedily coming TO the end OF their tether.
