A Serious Charge,

The Euening Star of Friday charged Mr.
George Bliss, counsel for the prosecution
in the star-route cases, with having in
dulged in very improper language in con.
nection with the proceedings in the grand
jury room when Senator Kellogg was
under consideration. 1t reports him as
follows:
Mr.. Bliss stated to a Star reporter, when asked as
to the action of the grand jury this morning, that
owing TO his official relation to that body he could
not state what took place before II. He had pre-.
sented all the evidence he could get; and had ex-
amined and cross examined NJ. Walsh, but the
grand Jurors had not concluded evidently that
there was evidence of any guilt lie had NO
criticism TO pass on the jury. If he had been a
grand juror he would have voted to indict. He
understood that the composition of the jury was
largely Democratic. As to the question of Senator
Kellogg's completely, the issue was US to whether
he had n gully knowledge concerning certain
drafts. The jury naturally gave a Senator of the
United States the benefit of every doubt.
Mr.. Bliss has probably said no such
things. He would have been guilty of q
disregard of his duty and of his oath il
he had, even 10 the extent above charged
revealed the secrets of the grand jury
room. 1t would be infamous for prose
cutting officer to attempt to blacken the
character of Senator or citizen by pre-
tending to have heard, in the secrecy OF
the grand jury room, testimony sufficient
to justify his indictment for felony, when
every one of the twenty-four grand jurors
who were the sole judges of its sutliciency
and who heard the same testimony at the
same time, pronounced it unworthy oi
consideration. ltwould be gross attempt
to intimidate grand jury into subser-
viency to personal control for prosecut.
ing officer to discredit it by reflections
upon the alleged political inclinations Of
its members, or by charges that it had
fallen short of its duty because of the
official station of person accused before
it of public oifense. We do not or edi
the Stars accusation against Mr.. Bliss.

Lucy II. HOOPER, whose letters from
Europe have been more widely copied
than those of any other correspondent
from abroad, and who has gained a higher
reputation as keen observer and graphic
depicter of events than any other female
writer, has been especially engaged to
write for The REPUBLICAN,, and we to-day
publish her first letter from Paris. Our
readers may be sure that the doings in
the gay French capital will be fully pre-
sented in Miss Hooper's own brilliant
and attractive style. The management
confidently believe that this evidence of
enterprise will be appreciated by the
large number of the readers of THE Re-
PUBLICAN.

IT is with feelings of deep sadness that
we announce the death of Mrs. Abraham
Lincoln. Her life has been a most
eventful one, and the niche she has
filled in the mind of the country is one
of peculiar tenderness. In all the trials
of her martyred husband Mrs Lin
coin fully sympathized, and in
her kind and womanly nature he
found comfort and rest. The tragedy
Mt Ford's Theater, which shocked the
world, also wrecked the life of Mrs Lin
coin, and since then she has been an
object of tender solicitude to her son and
of gentle pity to the American people.
Her death is a release from physical suf-
fering and translation from world
where trial and anguish has been the lot
of her later years.

TIE Black-Flag- -Last-Ditch wing of the
Pennsylvania Independents is afraid that
its own State committee may agree to
something. The Regulars offer to go in
for new nYention-candidacy free for
all. The Independent candidates have
offered a new convention, free for all
bat the present candidates. Where
upon the Black-Flag wing say the com,
mittee will probably reject both PROPOSE
ciONs. This means that the wish is father
TO the thought. The Black-Flag political
pirates simply desire to help the Demo-
.rats. The Independent Republicans,
'7ho thought these wolves in sleeps
clothing were really sheep, will, we doubt
not recognize the true doctrine quoted
by us on Saturday from the Philadel-
pbia Press, to wit, that a Republic
can convention cannot be restricted
in its selection of candidates by any
thing hut constitutional eligibility.
Nor can any eligible citizen be de-
MED the equal right with all others
20 be a candidate. An honest expression
by the majority is all that can be insisted
ON. If the Independent committee does
mot meet the regular committee on this
just ground, the great body Of the Repub-
Leans in and out Of Pennsylvania will see
that its Wanted independence is merely
hostility TO the Republican cause and
reasonably sympathy with the Democ-
Tacy.

THE editor of the Petersburg (Va.)
Inder-APpcal thinks the alleged Virginia
bond-holders' squeak from London
ought to be addressed to George c. Cor
ham, because of his advocacy of the CO.
alition in Virginia. If the h,der-Appeaps
advice should be taken we should ex-
pect to be able to show one of two
things, to wit: either that some conf
dence operator in London, owning no
bonds, and representing no bondholders,
was endeavoring to obtain money under
false pretenses from the State of Vir-
ginia, under contract to get the bond
holders to agree to the Riddleberger act,
or that some silly Republican Bourbons
in Virginia had hit upon it as device
whereby they hoped to weaken the CO.
alition. In the latter case the bond
holders protest may have come from
Loudon (Virginia) instead of London.

THERE seems to be disposition on the
part of the House to strike out some of
the provisions passed by the Senate for
the improvement of the Mississippi
River. This should not be. The i'm
portance of improving this great national
waterway. wGs SO manifest that it was
made the subject of special message by
the President, and the Senate, having
given the matter large and full investi-
cation, have been as broad and liberal in
their appropriations as the magnitude of
the improvement and the benefits to be
derived therefrom demand, and any at
tempt to abridge or cut down their esti-
mates would be unwise and ill-timed
The South needs whatever assistance it
can get from the general government
and in no way can that section be more
generally benefited than by compre-
hensive improvement of the Mississippi,
which will add to the commerce and the
wealth of the entire South.

BROOKLYN, N. Y. Nov. LIN 1884, John
Gross, or DeGross as he was s)metimes called,
a colored mau, owned land in various parts of
this city. Immediately after Brooklyn became
a cisy in 1884. the common couucil opened
aud laid out Myrtle avenue. as it now is, John
Gross purchased from the city piece of land
adjoining bis, which had bee condemned and
taken IN the laying out of the new avenne,
aud by its purchase he became the owner of all
the southeast corner of MYRTLE avenue and
Navy street, the plot being 101 feet ON Myrtle
avenue and 80 feet on Navy street. He occu-
pied it up to 1S40 when it passed into the pos
session of Theodorus Bergen, another old
Bro 'klynite, long since passed away. Gross.
about that time, became mentally deranged,
aud wandered off DO .,ne knew whittier, until
his family received word of his deaih in New
York city upwards of thirty years ago He
left three children, two of whom, john aud
Sarah, are living, and in December, 1878, they
commenced action to recover, and, after long
trial. the case was decided in their favor. An
appeal was taken to the judges, at he general
term, who eversed Judge Reynolds decision
and sent the case back for trial On the 'ew
trial the ctse went to the jury, who returned
verdict for pla ntiffs, but on appeal to the gen.
eral term this was reversed. On the next trial
the jury gave verdict for defendants. On
appeal by plaintiffs this was reversed. Tue
next trial was before Judge Nelson, who pro-
nounced the case one OF the most extraordina-
ry within his experience. The Jury rende red
a verdict for plaintiffs. This trial, which oc-
CURED in September, $780, is still subject of re-
mark among the frequeuters of the city court.
The defendants appealed again in the general
term, but this last verdict was affirmed, and
John Gross will be put in possession. He has
heretofore done odd jobs at whitewashing and
the like. He is also a shoeblack on Sundays
He lives at No IL Mumby's alley, aud is we'll
known about town under the name of "Snow-
ball" The property is valued at $s50,000
