IsrEc1AL TO THE sENTISEL.l
WASHINGTON, Dee. lit is stated that
the Star Reuters have practically decided
that Brady's conviction is a foregone con-
clusion, it being only a question Of the
degree Of punishment. Dorsey's friends,
however, are very confident, and it is
whispered that he will utter a partial
squeal on Brady, alleging that they
paid him some money to avoid having
their business ruined. One of the counsel
for the defendants stated that they will be
ready for trial on Monday, and tina. not
over a month will be consumed. He did
not take much stock in the libel talk Of
Marshal Henry, as the document in which
reference had been made TO him did not
| contain libelous matter. The Attorney
Ganeral had not called the Marshall hard
names, but simply objected to his having
any further connection with the case, be
cause Of the alleged irregularities in the
summoniug q talesmen. ALVEY time Is
anticipated when the Star Route cases
are called to-day, as all the counsel on
both sides viii be il attendance, and con
siderable legal sparring will undoubtedly
| be INDUCED in. The following day Fore
man Dickens trial begins in the Police
| Court. an arrangement having been made
to this effect between Special Attorney
Wells, representing the Government, and
Smith and Cuppy, counsel for Dickson.
Decline of silver.
WAsH1SaToN, Dec. -Four or five days
ago the treasury officials predicted that in
ten days foreign exchange would be down
to such prices as would insure importa-
tons OF gold. This point has already been
reached, exchange being quoted al 81 Il
Is anticipated, Therefore, that within a week
shipments OF gold will be made for this
country from England and France, The
tiow Of gold is expected to last through
December, since our fal. importations are
over and Spring buying abroad will not
begin until January. Meantime sales OF
cotton and American meats Will DO quite
large. Sul there being no importaJiors
bs he merchants TO Offset these ship
rieuts the balance Will come in gold.
The price of silver within the last week
has declined AYe-ihiTds, equivalent to s.
little oyc. one cent per ounce, This is
accounted for by the Treasury officials
chiefly on the ground OF Consgls' bills
being drawn or London, which, having
the effect Of cutting off the shipment TO
India, Slutted the London market. This
IS the immediate cause, which IS supported
by increased output from the Mexican
mines, stimulated by the removal Of the
20 per cen. export duty, The Treasury
otaclals are inclined 10 the opinion that
silver will have q downward tendency from
this time forward. unless interrupted by
legislation or some unprecedented sus-
pension Of mining.
Star Route Matters.
wAsaINeroS. Dec. l.-some Of the
newspapers say that by the Star Route
frauds the National Treasury has been
robbed Of 81, SOC, 900. This large sum is
very far below the real total. Several
months ago the Attorney General esti-
mated the amount stolen az 81 ,000, 600.
The net additional pay granted to the
ring contractors was more than 81, 600, 600
per annum in the last term, four years
ago. The Star Route frauds, il one form
or another, have been going on 10 or ~
years. 1t will be difficult to estimate &C.
c~uratels the total amount stolen by straw
| bids, expedition and other methods, but il
is a very large sum. Tae estimate Of
81, 900. 900 may cover the smOGn stolen
IN the last contract term Of four years,
aud this is the probable period to which
| the Attorney General referred.
The friends OF the Star Reuters threaten
TO do all sorts Of things in Congress.
Brady's counsel are said TO have stated
thst their efforts would be directed solely
to getting mitigation Of sentence.
