not to be guided by sympathy, but by the stern decrees of justice, in their deliberations
 towards verdict. They must not heed the defendants plea for mercy. He (Merrick)
 had no plea to make for mercy, but for the citizens of his country, and on behalf of her institutions he pleaded-for the supremacy of law, and the vindication of the truth. MT. Chandler had laid down the proposition that the defendants had right to hide them
 selves behind the doctrine of Cdue0t ena0to7. Did he not know that beyond the common
 law lay another and broader domain of equity jurisprudence? Did he not know that, in order to relieve the severity of the principles of the common law when it clashed with honor, fairness and justice, equity came in to restore the legal obliga- tion :? Did he not know that the doctrine of CGue0t empt0r could apply, neither in law nor equity, to man when he was dealing with the trustee of another man2 Who was Brady? continued Mir. Merrick. He was your trustee, and my trustee, and the trustee of the whole people of the United States, ap- pointed by the government of the United States to guard your property and mine and theirs; and man had right to contract with him without guiding his behavior and his conduct by those rules which equity lays down as the obligatory rules on an individual dealing with the trustee of another man. Brady. in dealing with the trust and violat- ing his honor and disgracing his office, should have remembered that he was trus tee. If tears have ever flowed in this any other country, for just cause, if hearts have ever been broken, 1t has been the tears flowing over the frag- ments of fortunes rulned hearts breaking over hearthstones torn up by the recklsssness and fraud of trustees. trustee is shep- herd and when he lets in the wolf upon the sheep that he ought to guard he deserves not the penitentiary, but the gallows. Mir. Mer- rick then proceeded to discuss the meaning of the words pro rata as applied to the in crease of pay for expedition of service on Star routes. His definition controverted by Mir. Wilson, and the contradiction was at- tributed by Mir. Merrick to the fact that MT. Wilson used as factor in the problem the base perjured oaths of the contractors on which Brady made his orders, knowing them to be false. MT. Merrick said that it was not his intention to discuss in detail the facts in the That had been ably done by his two colleagues.
 MT. Merrick will be followed by NTessrs. Henkle, Wilson and Ingersoll for the defense and Attorney General Brewster for the gov ernment.

The Campaign in Vfrgtnfa-BIaine Said

 WASHINGTON, Aug. 24.-The straightout Republicans in Virginia are plucking up better spirit than has characterized them of late. One cause of this change in feeling is the widespread report that ex-Secretary Blaine has openly espoused their cause While MT. Blaine was in the Cabinet he maintained, to say the least, neutrality in re- gard to Virginia's politics, though personally he never sympathized with Malone. But now tha; the Arthur administration is com- mitted to Mahones fortunes, Mir. Blaine is said to be throwing his influence on the side of the straightout Republicans.

The Stnr Route TrtaI-NIr MerrIcls De-
 mands R Verdict Of Guilty-A Powerful Plea For the Prosecution.
 WASHINGTON, Aug. 24.-Public interest is greatly increased in the Star route trial since MT. McSweeny began his extraordinary plea. Whatever else can be said of his argument, it was entertaining and crowded the court
 room to suffocation. A large crowd also
 listened to day to MT. Merricks powerful ad-
 dress. Mir. Merrick is & very effective speak
 CT, and is regarded here as perhaps the finest, l and certainly one of the finest, lawyers in the District. His engagement to succeed Colonel Cook was looked upon as evidence of | purpose on the part of the government to
 conduct the prosecution earnestly and in good faith. The long trial is now nearing it's
 end, Colonel Ingersoll and the Attorney Gen.
 eral being the only lawyers of importance
 who are yet to be heard. We can depend | upon the judge making brief charge to the
 jury, as he is evidently much wearied by the length of tho case. MT. Merrick, in begin
 ming his argument, said that in the perform
 ance of his duty he demanded from this jury 8 verdict of guilty against John w. l Dorsey, John R. Miner, Stephen w. Dorsey. I H. M. Waffle, Monteford 0. Rerdel and Thomas J. Brady. "In regard to | Turner (faoing around and address l ing that defendant) the evidence does
 not leave my mind free from doubt, | and while do not believe him unstained by criminal conduct, I do not believe that these
 men introduced to their confidence and made
 him familiar with the secrets of their con- l spiracy as a member of the conspiracy. For l him. therefore repentance and reflection
 since he has heard the grating of the peni- tentiary doors so close to him that the sound
 will go with him through life--may serve to
 awaken the better sentiments of his nature,
 to elevate and improve his character and to l lead him to become better and more useful
 man." Coming down to consideration of
 the indictment, he said that the question was
 not one of simple criminality, but question
 of conspiracy to defraud the United States.
 In it's discussion he would not shirk any
 question of law or fact. He asked the jury
