o0oe1 ox tue government. de was
guilty OF this o6onso, which has boen
punishsd b courts - gross oct Of
! recommend his immediats
removal. He IL an unsuitable person,
and has injuriously intsrfsrsd with the
proper conduct Of this Star Route case,
and given his personal sympathy 70 the
indicted defendants.
Second-D. B. Dineee, postmaster, of
this city, and his assistant, n. n. Park
sr, are Justly subject to ali the charges
presented by Bliss, and think they
should be removed. No men holding q
public appointment should be permitted
to use the influence and power Of their
positions a. they have used theirs, or b
permitted TO interfere with such prose-
or any prosecution urged BY the
government in vindication Of tho law.
Third-The man Helm, recently ap-
pointed TO the head of one Of the depart
ments in the public printing Office, is by
Law incapable Of holding that Office,
since he controls public newspaper, he
controls q paper not0rioasly and con-
owned by one of the defendants,
the most culpable Of all, since II WAS by
his official criminal malfeasance the
corrupt orders wero made and frauds
successfully perpetrated. His paper
has been engaged from the beginning of
these prosecutions down to the discharge
Of the jury in the most violent abuse of
all who were supposed to be interested
in bringing the defendants to justice.
The judge was not even spared. The
counsel were persistently slandered and
witnesses openly assaulted, denounced
and torrOriZed by . continuous current
Of personal abuse and calumny. l am
Of the opinion he should be removed.
l am ast0nished that those who have
charge of the public printing, with
of these facts, should venture
TO appoint him. He is not a man to be
trusted with the responsibility he holds.
Fourth-In conjunction with Bliss /
call your attention to the
Of Geo. E. spencer. Upon the
day OF your departure from this oity,
after tho adjournment of Congress, a
BY Bliss and other eoun-
sel in the case was sent through me,
lodging with you complaint against
Geo. e. Spencer. Those papers did not
reach You at that time; this was during
the latter week Of the trial. In fact the
evidence had closed, and the counsel
were addressing the jury. Those papers
are now before you.

Chicago Nstes.
CHICAGO, Nov. S.-In the Teresa
Sturla murder trial today it appeared
that the defense will chiefly rest on the
ground of emotional insanity and pal
liating circumstances. The evidence
began. but was of routine sort.
As result Of tho larceny in Phelps,
Dodge d Palmer's establishment, Au-
Rustus and Jno. w. Wells, employees,
were today held on charge of larceny,
to appear before the Criminal Court, in
the sum of &lhOo. No testimony was
taken to show the basis of these charges
and all members Of the firm continue TO
keep their mouths closed a. to the mat
ter.
The attention Of r. Il. Cable, Presi-
dent of the Minneapolis and st. Louis
being called to the statement of
President Mitchell, Of the Milwaukee d
st. Paul road, that the latter company
TO it's rivals an arbitration Of
tho difficulties which caused the exist
ing war, he said:
"The differences to whioh I suppose
Mr.. Mitchell alludss relate to the
south-bo business from Minneapo-
lis and st. Paul, between the Milwau-
kee d st. Paul, tho Chicago d North
western line, tho Minneapolis d st.
Louis, the Burlington, Cedar Rapids d
Northern, and the Rock Island line.
The last named demanded one-third Of
tho freight from Chicago. The other
lines have steadily refused tho demand.
No proposition to arbitrate has been
made by the other lines, of which 1t
forms part. They have not to my
knowledge, even named0the proposition
on which they are willing business
should be divided"
Tho Rock Island road managers deny
positively the assertion made from To-
lsdo yesterday, regarding their ticket
sales. They cay no order for tickets or
order books Of theirs issued are on sale,
at + oledo or any other point east Of
Chicago, and challenge Detective Ageat
Fleming to prove his statement.
