Dorsey the Truly Good.


Messrs. Macyeagh and Brewster will be very
much hurt at the low opinion Mr. Star Route
Dorsey feels compelled to express about them.
Perhaps ofthe two Mr.. Macyeagh has cause forths
keenest anguish, for, according to the star route
statesman's diagnosis he, Macyeagh, is "a ply
steal, mental and moral dyspeptlc" Thomas
Carlyle was dyspeptic, too He saw great deal
of good in the world and was only atrabilious
when his jaundiced pen touched Americans. MIR.
MacN eagh is not odous TO Dorsey because Of
any actual badness, but because Everybody n
green to him, and himself alone all purity and
goodness" There is a deep truth underlying
this. MacNeagh is sort OF Aristides and
Dorsey, as one Of the people. is tired Of
hearing him called 1.-The just." Against
Brewster. however, Dorsey has a more direct
and picturesque charge. He swears too much
The refined ear of Dorsey, after months of COM
munlng with the angelic cowboys on his rancho
pastures, is shocked by the profane impetuosity
OF the Encouragement Indeed, Dorsey dis
misses him by the whitening comment that "ho
Is most too contemplate and disreputable per-
son to be dicassed In any Journal" Now this
is biting indeed, bearing In mind the peculiar
Journals that Dorsey still calls his own, or the
next thing to it, But, admitting for arguments
sake that MacEeagh is the fatiguingly good and
Brewster the unspeakably bad man Dorsey
paints them, wherein does that lessen the gull
ofrobbing the government and conspiring TO con-
tlnue the robbery? IL is Mr.. Dorsey's character
that Is on trial and not Messrs. MacVeagh's and
Brewsters. When they begin to colleague with
star route experts To swindie the government
then their morals AMI manners NAV come In =
corroboratiye geste.

HIS OPEIzA IONS ON TWO CONTINENTS.
BALTIMORE, Dec. 9.-The mayor OF Westminster,
In Carroll county, Md. has received letter from
England, asking information concerning a negro
named Lewis Charlton, who is travelling that
country. seeking aid and asking for assistance TO
build a church and school for colored BaptiStS In
Westminster. The writer OF the letter, after ex-
pressing wish to assist him, IL deserving, also
expresses wonder at his having been sent TO Eng
land for such cause and inquiries into the truth
or falSity of his statements. Enclosed in the letter
was handful, in which Charlton announced him.
self a preacher Of the gospel to his race
In the United States, who for fifty years was in
bondage in the state Of Maryland, and for twenty
eight OF those years suffered the worst effects of
slavery The Westminster Advocate commenting
on the letter from England, says: ACCORDING to
the statement of those acquainted with Charl-
toms career, he came to Westminster either dur
Ing the war or Just at rs close, from Prince
Georges county, Md. He first started out to beg
money to build the colored Methodist church on
Union street, in this place, and at first made a
return OF the money collected. After travelling
all over pennsylvania, he returned with the state
ment that he had been robbed. Charlton has, in
the meantime, been roaming from place to place
In this country, and has never returned one cent
OF money collected. His career has proved him to
be sharp shrewd and rascal, abusing the conf
dence and Imposing upon the charity of the peo-
pie wherever he goes"

This morning, in the Police Court, during the
trial of an unlicensed bar case, the attorney for
the defendant asked the court to continue the
case, as the defendant had good reason to be-
lieve. from what thu Commissioners had told
him, that his application for q license would
probably be favorably acted on. Judge Shell
said he thought the present license arrange
ments were defective. He said it would be
better Ia give applicants for licenses time to
have the question settled rs TO whether they
will get license before prosecutions are begun
against them In the courts. Prosecuting At.or-
ney padsgett stated that the Commissioners have
published In the newspapers that no person who
had not a license would be allowed TO sell liquer
