Sergeant nasOn's Case .

j. G. Bigelow, counsel for Sergeant
Mason, called Mt the white house this
morning and filed with the presidents
private secretary the brief giving the
reasons why the sentence of the court
martial in the case of Mason should
be declared null and void. The main
points of the argument are: That the
court erred in trying the prisoner for
violation Of the sixty-second article of
war; the United States troops We're
guarding the district jail without law
full authority; that the secretary of war
had no lawful authority to order the
troops there, and that on account of
the position in which Mason stood
when he fired, and of Guiteau's posi-
ton in his cell, it was a physical inn
possibility that the latter should have
been in any danger from the shot. 1t
is known the president does not intend
to take action in this case until Guiteau
is out of the way.

of the twelve men who are intrusted

THE ASSESSMENTS.
Quite a fiutter of excitement occur
red at the government printing office
to-day, occasioned by the circulation
of the notice of the republican con-
gressional committee for the first regu-
lar campaign assessment. Every male
employee in the Office got one of these
notices, which are signed by Hender-
son, secretary. Even the boys, who
earn but one dollar day and are sub
ect to furlough at any time, without
pay, were notified that seven dollars
was what was expected from each of
them. This is carrying political assess
ments further than has ever been done
before. Ir has been customary to omit
those persons who are receiving less
than 81, 900 year from the list of as
sessable civil service victims, but the
necessities of the present appear to de-
mand more sweeping collection. A
/ member of the committee says that a
large proportion of the percentage will
be promptly paid, that the Pennsyl-
vania campaign will take good deal
of money, and that it is likely upward
of 81 100000 viii be raised altogether.
