THE STAR ROUTE CASE.
Another Week Of Argument-A Verdict
of Guilty Predicted.

WASHINGTON, Aug. &c.
Atty.-Gen. Brewster says that he is all
ready with his star route speech, which he
will deliver as soon as the other gentle men
in the cause get through He thinks there
has been two much talking in the case, and
he says that he proposes to set good ex.
ample by closing it. His speech will be a
concise but comprehensive review of the
facts of the law. If, as now is the under
standing. three more lawyers are to be heard
for the defence, the whole of the next week
will be occupied by argument. Then Mr..
Brewster will sum up and the judge will
charge the jury. A lawyer who has watched
the case very closely ever since the trial be-
gan, said tonight that he had no doubt that
Judge Wylie would charge the jury strongl y
against each of the defendants, and that the
jury would bring in verdict of guilty as to
all. The general impression, however, is
that the jury will either hang itself or acquit
the defendants.

RICHMOND CAMP GROUND, Aug. 20.
A large audience assembled this afternoon
with the expectation of listening to Hon.
Nelson Dingley, Jr., who had been an
neunced to speak in the tabernacle. For
some cause, not explained at this writing,
Mr. Dingley did not arrive, and the interest
which had been steadily increasing since the
beginning of the meetings, seemed suddenly
to flag. But no time was allowed to run 70
waste. and speakers were not wanting. who,
if not wholly able to fill the place of our
popular N. c., we're yet able TO hold the At
tention Of their hearers for two hours or
more The principal speakers were Hon.
Joshua I'VE, Rev. Mr.. Lelacheur and Rev.
Mr. Boynton. The remarks were generally
in line of those which have preceded them
strongly in favor of enforced prohibition and
the careful training of the young into the
principles of total abstinence.
At the evening meeting J. X. Osgood,
ESQ.,, related some most interesting expert
ences in the reform movement outside of the
State of Maine. In Rhode Island he became
member of the Jonadahs, temperance So
ciety which shuts its doors against any who
return to their cups after once becoming
members. In the expressive language of the
speaker, s.the man who loses his grip is a
gone Jonadab." Several other speakers ad-
dressed the meeting and at its close the total
abstinence pledge was presented and re-
ceived large number of signatures.
SUNDAY.
At 10 O'Clock a large and attentive au-
dience gathered to listen to Rev. Mr.. Le-
lacheur, who took for his text paragraph
from Joel, III: 3, 'And they sold girl for
wine that they might drink" 1t is hardly
necessary to state that the subject was ably
and eloquently presented. Mr.. Lelacheur
demonstrated from the Scriptures that the
sale of, and indulgence in, intoxicating bev.
erages is unscriptural and contrary to the
teachings of Christianity.
The first meeting in the afternoon was ad
dressed by members of the Reform Clubs
from Gardiner, Bath. Lewiston, Auburn,
Topsham, &c. A large and attentive au.
dience was present. An evangelical meeting
followed, presided over by C. NJ. Bailey
Esq, of Winthrop, in which many speakers
participated.

put him right down as good a greenbacker

Rejoinder Of the Council.

Our columns contain this morning the
rejoinder of the Executive Council to the
accusations brought against them by Gov
ernor Plaisted in his letter Of acceptance
and public speeches. It is calm, digni-
fed, clear and forcible statement, very
unlike the sophistical, partial. and parti-
zan utterances Of the Governor.
It will be plain to thoo who read this
answer that the Governor attempted to
use his position in anything but a manner
comfortable TO civil service ideas, forced
. useless conflict with the Council, and
wound up by placing himself against the
Supreme Court and the law, and where
he has forfeited the sympathy and respect
Of the people. All who desire to know
the truth in regard to the contest between
the Governor and Council should read the
answer Of the Council. In tone and tenn
per 1t is perfect. and the simple statement
Of facts therein set forth is unanswerable
