WASHINGTON, July 21Gh.-In the Criminal
Cour. this morning, MerIick stated that be-
fore beginning the regular proceedings he
felt bound to call the attention Of the Court
to certain circumstances which placed the
Government under great disadvantage IN the
prosecution Of their evidence. He wished to
move for 8 notice TO be served upon A. G.
Buell., editor of the Capital, to show cause
ghy he should not be punished for contempt
Of Court in an article published in that paper

Jury and falsehood, and had used other
abusive and libelous language. he also de.
sired a rule upon Buell., Helm Ringwalk and

Veagh aud ex.Postmaster-G General james.
In these articles the first part was published
upon one day and the second upon another.
These gentlemen had been abused in the
same uncouth, vituperatiye language; they
were still witnesses under process of the
Court, and their evidence had not been dis
cnssed.
lIerrick then read some of the head lines
OF the Critics articles, and added These
three gentlemen seem to have become the OBJ
.jeects of the most yituperative assaults while
under charge of the Court and while giving
testimony. These articles are intended to in.
timidate and brighten other witnesses from
giving testimony, and placed the Government
at a great disadvantage in obtaining witnesses,
for the reason that sensitive gentleman felt
great diffidence and unwilIiugDess to appear
and become the object of such abuse. He
wished to file motion to serve notice upon
the other side, snd call them at the proper
time
The Court granted Merrick permission to
file his motions.
Walsh then made some corrections in his
testimony, and was sharply cross examined.

A significant Nomination.
WASHINGTON, July 27th.-The nomination
of J. NJ Kinds, to be Marshsl of the north.
ern district of Alabama, which was sent in
to-day, is in some respects notable. Kinds
was formerly mail contractor, and having
abandoned his contracts under Brady, was
the first to make a charge of corruption
against that official. Afterwards Walsh
joined with him in making statements which
appeared in the newspapers, giving the de-
tails as to Brady's methods. His appoint
ment is looked upon as an indication of the
sympathy Of the Administration with the
prosecution Of the star-route cases.
