OFFICIALS BOUNCED.
Removals OF Officials Charged With
Aiding and Abetting the Star Rout-

Removals OF Officials Charged With
Aiding and Abetting the Star Rout-
ers.
Last Saturday evening the President
directed the removal of Charles e. Henry,
marshal of the District of Columbia; D. b.
Anger, postmaster, and Myron N. Parker,
assistant postmaster of the city of Wash.
ington; NJ. D. Helm, foreman OF the Con-
gressional Record, and George E. Spencer,
government director of the Union Pacific
railroad, upon charges made by the attorney
general and Col. Bliss, that the above
mentioned officials interferred with the end
ofjustice in connection with the star route
trials. These offices will all be filled i'm
mediately, so there may be no interruption
to the public service. TO prevent any
embarrassment In affairs in the marshal's
office, the suspension o: that officer will be
withheld until his successor is ap-
pointed.
Attorney General Brewster in letter to the
president recommending the removal Of the
above named officers recapitllates the spe-
oific oHenses Of each. He says Of Marshal
Henry: "As an officer of the court and an
officer CT the government he was guilty in
this of an ofense which has been punished
by courts as a gross act of contempt I
recommend his immediate removal. He is
an unsuitable person and has 1njuriously
interfered with the proper conduit OF this
patby and the symathy of his office to rdict-
ed defendants. And in reference
to the others He says; mo men holding
public appointments should be permitted to
use the influence and power of their position
as they have used theirs, or be permitted to
interfere with such precaution or any pros
ecution urged by the government in vind-
cation OF the law"
Mr.. Bronson concludes: II desire to call
your attention to the fact that the officers of
the law and those who have directly been
ordering me in the discharge Of my duty in
this business have been from the first ell
circled with snares, pit fails and every species
of vile device that could be invented to harm
them. hinder their usefulness and prevent
the administration Of justice. Soiue Ior-
tons of this community who surround these
defendants and who have enjoyed or do
still enjoy minor official positions, know 10
allegiance to any one but this band Of
robbers, and render no service to any one
but these evil employers. From motives Of
gain or other corrupt considerations, they
are saturated with at1inities for these bad
men, and they have contributed by every
means in their power, at the bidding Of
their masters, to obstruct public justice and
to defame its officers, with the hope Of secur-
ing the acQuittal and escape Of the worst
band of organized scoundro's that ever ex-
listed since the commencement Of the gov
eminent
The star route men are quite taken by
surprise and feel greatly disheart;ned by the
dismissals. It affects them indirectly by
indicating the more vigorous prosecution Of
the star route cases.

Climate in Old and New ENGLAND

Letter to Boston Journal
Taking broad and comprehensive
view of the English climate the year
round, / do not know how can better
describe the situation than by saying each
month in the English year is but repro.
duction Of the corresponding New Eng
land month very much milder drawn
This is best shown by going little into
details. The hottest months IN England
are July and August, the same as with US;
yet in England the mean temperature Of
July and August is about 80 degrees.
January and December are England's
coolest months; yet the mean tempera
ture is about 80 degrees. It is said
that the temperature that is the most
conducive to the physical prosper.
ity of the human race is between %
and 60 degrees. The temperature of
Great Britain, year in and year out,
comes nearest to this standard of any
country on the face Of the earth. I
should say that September and October
in England were very like September
and October in New England, with the
exception that October is not quite as
cold as our October; aud that their Sep
TENDER is not liable to show i'll its early
days any of those hot spells that so often
characterize the first part of our
September. November in England, as
With us, is gloomy mouth, but colder
there than here; February in England
warm edition of our March.
There are some common English say
lngs which emphasize some oflts charac-
teristics. For instance, "March: Many
weathers"; or another expression,
often heard in England, among out Of
door workers, which is very apt one,
as applied to an English March day, is
ten fine days in one afternoon" ali ex-
preston we'll calculated to give one an
idea OF the way sunshine and clouds,
rain and fair weather, rapidly alternate
on an average English March afternoon.
| found as travelled and studied Eng
land that l had somehow imbibed at
home very many false ideas about the
country. For illustration, I had always
supposed that an immense amount OF
rain fell there, and that large proper
ton of the days Of almost any season
there we're rainy ones. I suppose that
that impression was deepened by the
constant reiteration of the story of some
gentleman going to England to see the
country for ninety daysand finding every
one of those ninety days rainy ones.
/ spent about ninety days in England in
the spring Of 1882, and in all that time
for the most part clear skies above me
and saw but little rain. What rains
there were were light, When it does
rain in England it seems to rain easily
and quietly, and their rains do not seem
50 penetrating as ours. Figures prove
the rainfall in England is less than in
the United States. The average annual
rainfall at Cambridge, Mass. is reported
at thirty-eight inches; in Ohio, thirty
six inches;n England, thirtytwo inches.

Gen. Logan aud Fitz John Porter.

Gen. Logan aud Fitz John Porter.
The Chicago Tribune has a four-column
letter from Senator Logan, In reply to Gen.
Grants recent article in defense Of Gen. Fitz
John Porter. He goes over the whole ground
anew, producing all the orders, letters, etc.
of the generals concerned, and various ex.
cuses as to fatigue and time when the orders
were delivered. which are pleaded in behalf
Of Porter by Grant and by his apologists
and defenders. Gen. Grant, point that the
night was too dark for marching is met by
statement that the whole rebel army under
Jackson moved that night a greater distance
than Porter was ordered Grants state.
ments are then taken up, ono by one and
combatted. Cases are cited in which, by
just such a march as Porter was ordered to
make, great and important victories have
been won in the past In conclusion he
characterizes Gen. Grants defense of Porter
as astounding and inexplicable, since there
is found not even the fimsiest excuse for
Porter's disobedience, after twenty years OF
raking for it. To vindicate Porter ct the
expense Of the reputation of Garfield and
Hunter, who found him guilty, and to
cloud the reputation of Lincoln, who
approved the findings, is asking too much,
even though asked by Gen. Grant.

The Cultivator says the results
of experiment and theory, so to
speak, make the feeding quality Of
81 pounds corn equal o that of ] 90
pounds Of hays, or 400 pounds of
corn equal to a ton OF hay. Iut
the feeder should bear thisIin mind,
thai hay is not what is termed
perfect iced unless it may consist
of large combination of different
grass es, while on the other hand,
corn led alone is more perfect food
than almost any hay or any cUmbi-
nation of grasses. Some hay con
tains a much larger percentage of
nitrogenous mater than others, and
there is wide difference between
the relative feeding qualities of
some corn and hay in the amount,
not only Of the heterogeneous matter
they contain, but also in the fat,
starch and sugar. 1t will be an ex-
ce,dingly difficult matter to obtain
a definite comparison of the feeding |
qualities of corn and hay so that
thay shall be at the command of |
the feeder.
