THE prospects of cOnvicting Dorsey,
Brady, and the other Star Route thieves,
are growing smaller by degrees and
beautifully less.' During the progress
of the trials Judge Wylie on two or
three occasions has plainly intimated,
that while the evidence shows that the
treasury has been swindled out of an
enormous sum of money, it fails to make
out the offence of conspiracy to defraud
the government-the crime with which
the defendants are charged. 1t may be,
as the counsel for the government in
sist that they will yet be able to estab-
lish a corrupt combination or conspiracy
to defraud but such does not seem to be
the impre ssion at Washington of those
who have watched the testimony that
has thus far been developed. There has
never been a high and important crimi-
nal trial in any Court in the country, in
which there has been so large an amount
of confident boasting by the counsel for
the prosecution of their undoubted abil-
ity TO convict as there has been in these
much talked,of and celebratedStar route
cases. Their investigation preparatory
to indicting the defendants was com
menced Immediately after the inaugura-
tion of President Garfield, by his At
tOrney General, Mr.. MacVeagh, and
Postmaster General James and now.
at the end of a year, and after the gov
eminent has consumed week after week
in spreading before a jury evidence or
which it relies for a conviction, the
chances are ten to one that Dorsey and
his confederates VIII escape the penalty
of the law. If this should happen to be
the result it will furnish a most notable
and instructive example of the difference
between high-sounding promises and 9
conspicuous absence of anything like
vigorous performances.

EyIctiOns and Arrests in ireland.

The sweeping evictiOnS that are now
going on in Ireland are infiicting great
misery on the people. Their hardShips
are intensified by the refusal of the
magistrates in some districts to allow
huts to be erected for their shelter. At
CarrarOe there was no refuge for about
1000 people save the warehouses. Near
Ballentuber recently a man named Dy-
wer and his family lived alongside a
ditch without shelter of any kind uHtiI
admitted to the workhouse. In Kings
county J. f. O'Brien and A. O'Shaugh-
messy were sent to Jail by Capt. LES
TRANCE, notorious magistrate, for hav-
ing taken part in the erection of huts
for some evicted tenants. Patrick Ka-
Vanaugh, one of those eYicted, took re-
fuge with his wife and nine children in
an old barn, which had neither window
or door. The children were suffering
from measles, and two of them soon
died from exposure. Kavanaugh APP
piled to the police to have an inquest
held, out they refused. He walked eight
miles to magistrate, who directed .he
Coroner of the district to hold the in
quest. The Coroner issued his precept
to the constabulary for the sGmmoning
of jurors and witnesses, but the precept
was ignored. The Coroner then gave
IL up, ICuidIh!uP IudJ SuCn q CLOAK III 2
over the case was sufficient to cause
discomfort in the county, and that he re-
gretted to say that some supposed peace
makers were peace disturbers. 1t was
stated at the time that the erection of a
hut sent up from Dublin had been for
hidden, and that more of the children
were likely to die. 1t was with refer
ence to such occurrences as these that
Chief Secretary TIe0elyn was moved to
declare that there were landlords "who
asserted their rights in a cruel and un.
! patriotic manner,n The Dublin organs
of the landlords are denouncing this re.
/ mark as ''cOwardly and crime-inciting.
The total number of arrests under the
/ Coercion act up to June 15 was 917.
/ Most of these prisoners have been re.
/ leased, and the number in custody is
/ diminishing SO rapidly that the Prison
/ ers' SustentatiOn Society finds itself
I with more money than it needs. Miss

WHAT OUR REPUBLICAN CONGRESS
LAUGHS Ait is very amusing--very.
1t makes the politicians laugh, even if
the Judlcious gTieve. When Butter
worth made some remark on the floor of
Congress so indecent that they would
not be permitted to appear in the Con-
greSSlondL Record, and ladies were warn
ed from the galleries, his colleagues
laughed heartily. Mr.. Butterworth was
so pert and pleasing and blackguardish
that they were compelled to hold their
sides. they laughed so much. When
the Vice President elect of the United
States, now its President, described at
a DelmOnico dinner, in honor of Star
Route Dorsey, by what persuasive arts
OF corruption that sweet gentlemen had
Saved Indiana. the tables were set in a
roar, it was so highly diverting. And
when Senator ingalls, described the Riv-
er and Harbor bill, by which it is pro-
posed to take twenty millions of dollars
from the Treasury to aid in the re- cleo
tlon OF Congressman, as the annual
shame, scandal and disgrace of Ameri-
can legislation, - the Senate burst into
loud guffaw. Their part in the per-
petration of the animal shame, scandal
and disgrace as this year. moved their
risibles. 1t is possible that the sober
sense of the country may be shocked at
this laughter. 1t is something too long
and too loud. 1t comes in at the wrong
time. There really isn't anything fun
ny in obscene jesting, in election fraud,
or in legislative stealing. The electors
turn may come one of these days. Cha
