rHE soFELno CASE.


This morning, in the Crimiral
Court, Judge Wyhe was ready 10 an
nounce his decision in the case of Au-
gustus c. Soteldo, indicted for the
murder of his brother, A. NJ Soteldo,
on the 9th of February, III the shooting
atfray IN the National Republican Of
tice. 1t will be remembered that 4 few
days ago Col. Christy, for the prisoner,
moved to quash the indictment, chiefly
on the ground that the grand jury took
cognizance of a case of murder without
an order or direction Of the courts I'M
der the act of Maryland Of 1872. This
molten was argued several days ago.
and the announcement of the decisios
was expected yesterday. While the
court was awaiting the arrival Of Col.
Bliss to appear in the star route cases,
Judge Wylie said he would announce
his decision. Mr.. Ingersoll stated that
the same grounds were set up in mo-
tlon he intends TO make in the case Of
Stephen w. Dorsey and others, and
the court deferred announcing his de-
cision.

MORE OF MASON.

WASHINGTON. March 2S.-The sym
pathy expressed in all sections Of the
country for Sergeant Mason, who at
tempted to shoot the assassin Guiteau,
has not been wasted on the authori-
ties, for tomorrow Judge Advocate
General Swain will submit his report
to the president showing that on ac-
count of irregularities in the trial by
the court martial the sergeant should
ee at once released from confinement
III the Albany penitentiary If the re-
port meets the approval of tie presi-
dent the sergeant will doubtless soon be
restored to his wife and baby, and the
stigma of Imprisonment will ne less
hard to bear, from the fact that in the
short time he has been away from his
family large sum of money has been
raised for their support. The petitions
which have poured in by every mail to
the president would probably have in
fluenced hun in
MITIGATING THE SENTENCE
of the court martial, but according TO
the judge advocate generals report,
no such action will be necessary.
LII vi WIG suDJCSL
Swain said that if a prisoner convicted
of any charge could show irregularities
as plain as in this case, his release
would be at once ordered, and he did
not anticipate that any other course
would be pursued. He could not say,
however, whether Mason would be re-
stored to the army or not, but was GER
tain he would be set at liberty. If the
petitions received in behalf of the pris-
oner were placed in straight line they
would reach from the presidents house
in this city to Independence Hall in
Philadelphia, and every mail increases
the number, the signers usually com
prising well-to-do people of the United
States.

THE MASON CRAZE
WASHINGTON, March 2S.-Some Of
the papers published here to-day con-
tain exceedingly caustic comments on
the Mason craze, and it is evident that
Gazette says: The exhibitions made
over the Mason case are simply dis
gusting. They argue the lack of men
tai and moral fibre in those vino sign
petitions for his release or pardon.
Mason was and is, in spirit, purpose
and all intents, murderer. His act
was cold -blooded and cowardly; all the
more infamous, in fact, because it was
deliberate violation of trust and
duty. His glori6cation by certain
newspapers is sheer brutality, and is
not the least shameless of the exhib-
itions of discreditable character
which have been made since the ter
rible act of July last

that is true" said he. in fact, when
| ran for congress, in 1880, / made up
my mind to retire as soon as the term
expired. | am now past IS years of
age, and feel as if my declining health
and physical debility render it proper
that one more capable of performing
the duties of the position should take
my place. This is not a very elegant
way of stating it. You can say that
my retirement is due to my age and
intirmities. | wish that the remainder
of my days should be extended TO the

be spent in quiet and rest. The labors
of a member of congress are too heavy
for me to discharge as | ought to.

My allegiance has been due to princi-

Tuesday at o'clock A. NJ. having made
the entire trip without rest or intermission
Monday night, being both starless and
noonless, was so dark that MIR. Irwin, as
we are informed, ''couil not see which way
to go, because it did not twinkle So" He
therefore gave his trustel pony full liberty
and license to wend his way, whithersoever
his horseship wot. Now it appears his
pony being wrapt in profound reflection,
took a nei shboring deer trail and calmly
pursued it to its termination, which abrupt
ly ended in an impenetrable thicket of
matted and tangled under-brush, as coull
be found in the jungles of Australia or the
dense and unexplored forests of the Amazon.
Whereupon he turnel his faithful steed
''right abont face" and after hours of deter
mined and tireless search, uninterrupted
except by numerous mudholes and countless
fallen trees, to say nothing of obstructing
thiekets and babbhng brooks, he found the
Corvallis road and caialy pursued his way
homewar,l, without farther adventure of
noteworthy character 1t is needless to add
that Sam turned abolitionist on his arrival
and the way he abolished ham an | eggs and
