Attempted Bribery of the Jurors IN
the Star Route Cases.

On last Thursday, in the Criminal Court
in Washington, which was engaged in try
ing the star route cases, there occurred a
remarkable scene just as the court was to
adjourn. The following remarks of the
presiding Judge Wylie, will explain the
cause:
The jurors were on their feet and about to
leave their box, and many of the audience
were preparing to leave the courtroom, when
Judge Wylie stated that he wished to devote
moment to another matter. The significant
tone in which he said this warned the spectators
that something important was to follow. and
instantly there was dead silence "Several
members of this jury" continued his Honor
calmly, shave come to me with the informa-
ton that they have been approached with pro-
positions most manifestly of corrupt kind
The first intimation had of this kind was sew
eral weeks ago. Several notwithstanding
bimself)--I cannot call them intimations they
are square and direct informations given me
privately for the purpose OF asking me what
they (the jurors) should do Ny advise was to
say nothing about it, The court did not want
to interrupt the progress of the arguments Of
the ease by any such side question as this =
But advised them to be careful This thing
has grown becoming more and more indig-
nant as he proceededl, and within the last
twenty-four hours and it would seem to be
time to warn such men that they cannot COM
mi: such outrages without punishment, and that
the officers of the law will do their duty. If it
is possible to ferret out these scoundrels it
shall be done. Give them no quarter. Spurn
them with the end of your toes.
No baser vermin infest the earth than men
engaged in this kind of business and the in
suit to you is that they suppose that you are
just as base, just as low as they are themselves.
No man should allow whisper Of this kird to
be made 10 him without spurning it with the
utmost scorn and contempt, if he goes no
further. dc. not advise violence at any time ; of
course do not But next to the insult that is
given to a mans wife is an insult of this kind
to juror. His honor should be as sacred and
as carefully guarded as he would guard the
honor of his wife. Having said this much COL
laterally at this point, we can now take re-
cess.

One of the leading Republican papers of
the Northwest, in urging a scientific ad-
justment of our revenue system, says
there is not as much science as there is
stealing about the tariff as it stands, and
good deal of it is very rough stealing,
too. The rings together bind the country
in a chain which is CALLING; and the peo-
pie are treated like children by thezrihgs-
tiers, and the drealiest twaddIeis made to
pass for the very philosophy of practical
economy" But the able editor forgets
that our present tariff is "for the protec-
ton of American labor" which is accom-
plished by giving the workingman twenty
cents more wages for every eighty cents
dded by the tariff to the cost of his living.

The Court House Bill,

We reviewed briefly last week the pro-
visiohs of the court house bill, and pre-
sented some views as to the looseness OF
the provisions regarding the collection
and disbursement of the funds to be col
lected by taxation from the people for
that purpose. \ further consideration oil
the bill brings US to the conclusion that
the bill does not guard, with even toler-
able care, against the misrepresentation OF
the money to be collected The oversights
in this regard are very remarkable: es-
pecially as he bill purports to guard with
SO much particularly and care upon this
point. While purporting to impose a
heavy official bond upon all who are en-
trusted with the handling of the funds
it is little singular that no provision phal
eeer is made to guard against a misappropri,
alton of the money to be derired from the SALE
Of the bonds uhich are to be negotiated The
provision in that regard is found in sec.
ton 8, and is as follows:
SEC. s. 4nd be it enacted, That the said
building committee shall, from time to time,
notify the county commissioners what sums
OF money shall be needed and il shall then be
the duty Of the said county commissioners to
forthwith negotiate the sale of u suficien
amount of said bonds to raise the amount
needed, and shall pay the same on the reuuisi-
ton of the building committee.
Now with all its provisions regarding
bonds and penalties, no provision what
ever is made against Misrepresentation
of this money. The county commission
ers are &C oily authorized to place an indebt.
edness of 100000 upon the people OF this
county, by the issuing. negotiating and
sale of bonds to that amount between
November 1882 and November 1883, and
no provision whatever is made agains. q
misrepresentation Of the money. While
the clerk is required to give a bond fol
a faithful disbursement of the interest Of
the debt, the comm issioners are authorized
to handle 100000 inside Of one year pithout
giring any bond or proriding any indemnit,
rhatsrer. Without meaning in the slightest
degree any disrespect to the present board
of commissioners, we feel compelled to
say that this remarkable oversight ought
in our judgement to insure the defeat OF
the bill no matter what were the merits,
of the measure: and we have no doub,
that it will have that result. The creation
of debt of 100000 upon the people OF
single county, whereby the commission
ers Of the same are to receive that amount
of money inside of one year, without provi-
ding any bonds or indemnity to the people
against misrepresentation of the money, lis
we think without precedent in the history
We think the commissioners
themselves will readily concede tina, point,
or, at least, that such measure is a very
improvident one, and ought not to be
adopted.
We are again compelled for want OF
space to defer any further comment on this
subject.

lit Of the parties was as follows ::

1t will thus be seen that the jury stood
to on the question of conspiracy. The
isct that the jury afterwards became unan
imous as the guilt of two Of the defend
tnts, which necessarily conceded the proof
Dfthe conspiracy, is evidence Of trading
or compromise among the jury In view
of The extraordinary developments as to
attempts TO bride the jury. and the fact
that they were allowed to 60 at large dur
ing the trial, the inconsistent attitude of
the four dissenting jurors upon the differ
ent ballots raises . strong suspicion that
they were unduly Influenced. 1t is beiev-
ed that, as their rewards came from the
four defendants as to whom the disagreed
they were willing to convict the two i'm
pecunious defendants whose interests they
had not been engaged to serve. Even
the counsel for the Dorseys and Brady
admit that it is an absurd conclusion to
say that Rerdell and Miner are guilty of
the conspiracy and tho overt acts, and
that the rest are not guilty.
The partial and absurd verdict which
has. by the strong srm of the prosecution,
been snatched from those unwilling jurors
is, however, considered a victory for the
Government over the conspirators, the
people over their p'underers, the law over
the law defying. Jury trials in this country
and especially in the South where under
the Republican regime, three or four igno.
rant negroes are forced into every panel.
have become such complete sham
and safe harbor for influential criminals,
that it has grown to he almost vulgar
axiom that the man who steals largely
steals with impunity. AS these men bad

stolen on such very magnificent scale
ana as the indictment amounted practi-
cally to an arraignment of the Republican
party, little hope was entertained by the
public of q conviction of the conspirators
w hen, however, the Department of Justice
with commendable good faith, retained
that most able and gified of advocates,
Hon. Richard Il. Merrick, to conduct the
prosecution, some hopes were entertained
that through an able and vigorous prose
cution which his presence assured. the
country at least might be convinced Of the
guilt of these arch conspira' ors and public
plunderers, Most nsblydid Mr.. Merrick dis
charge his great and responsible trust and
in the result of that trial, lacking as it
does of justice, public expectation is more
than gratiied Not only has the country
been convinced of the guilt of the conspir-
ators, but verdict as to the existence of
the conspiracy and the guilt of two of the
conspirators, has actually been snatched
from jury fixed up under the Republi-
can regime.
Although the chief conspira'ors tempo
rarily escape from the punishment the law
visits upon their crime, the result of the
trial must be anything but gratifying to
them. Barely one juror, and he probably
corrupt, stood between one of them and
conviction, another escaped by two votes,
while only tour negative votes could he
obtained, by all the powers of bribery
and contamination, against their convic-
ton as indicted. Mr.. Merrick has given
notice that the Government will proceed
with new trial early in October, and in
the meantime will vigorously investigate
the attempts to corrupt the late jury. The
Government will go into the next trial
with much better prospects of success and
if a fair jury can be obtained, there is lit
tie doubt of conviction OF all the re
naming defendants.

According to this view, it is the ferment-

to the circulation noxious material that
affects the lungs on reaching those organs
Granting the truth of the theory, we shall
have to consider consumption as durable.
All that needs to be done is to use only
such food as will not ferment in the
stomach, and to clean out that organ &C.
casionally by judicious use of warm
water, with simple tonics before meals to
aid to digestive process. A weak solu-
tion of ferric per sulphate is recommended
