upon which he was arrested. AMI was accom-
panied bv an affidavit sworn to bv VIM.
Brown, of the Star Route jury. charging him
With endeavoring to corruptly influence
Juror. In his AFFIDAVIT Grown says that Falls
offered him $500 in consideration of his vote
a. a juror in the Star Route trial. rendering
for his signature q written agreement to that
effect Falls was placed in the custody Of an
officer and will be arrsnged in police court
this P. NJ, when his bail will be fixed.
Foote and Shaw. for whom warrants are IS
sued, are still at large.
Government officers decline to say any
thing with reference to the course they in
tend to pursue in Dickson's case. Juror Nc
Nell being in attendance with special counsel
Wells this forenoon has given rise to the
rumor that he is about to make an affidavit
which will warrant an issue for Mr.. Dickson $
arrest. H. C. Clagett, counsel for Arthur
PAYNE, arrested yesterday, came into the
police court this morning and endeavored to
have his clients bail reduced. After hearing
a statement from Gov. Wells, Judge Smell
refused and bail remsins at $1,000.
LATER.
Special Counsel Wells, representing the
government. and Messrs. Riddle and Davis,
counsel for Falls, met in the police court this
afternoon to arrange the amount OF bail IN
Falls case. Gov. Wells demanded q $1,000
bond and the defendent decided to appeal to
Judge Smell to have the amount reduced.
Later in the afternoon Judge Smell accepted
a bond for $500, and Falls was released to
appear before the police court from day to
day, or whenever required to do SO.
REPORT OF THE SPECIAL COUNSEL.
The department of justice today makes
public the first part af the report submitted
BY the special counsel on the star route brib-
cry cases. 1t begins with the case of juror
Edwin d. Doniphan. who swore that he was
repeatedly offered money by Shaw to favor
Dorsey. This statement was confirmed by
the testimony of the other jurors to whom
Doniphan related the interviews. William
X. Brown swore that Arthur Paine, colored,
offered him S2500 for his vote, saying he rep
resented one Falls. who was in the en-
ploy of the government, and wanted Brady
and Dorsey convicted. The witness was of
fered contract to sign, which did not stipu-
late which side he was to vote for. Falls ties
titled that he was employed by the depart
ment of justice to detect criminalty on the
part of the jury, and approached Brown be-
cause he had been guilty at one time OF
bribing Jury p. H. Woodward testified
that he was also instructed merely to watch
the jury. Taylor, employed by the govern
ment, was seen in the company of the coun-
sci for the defendants, and explained that he
received money from them. The counsel is
of the opinion that the whole affair was a
deliberate conspiracy against the administers
ton of justice for which the government was
in no way responsible.

Many republican papers which have
been won't to exclaim against supporting
regular nominations. and to unduly exalt
the right Of private judgment above the
action Of caucuses and conventions. are in
trouble in these days in several States.
and are fighting against the results of
their own teachings. The rule which they
laid down against supporting nominations
regularly made is an iron one and will
crush its authors when they get in its way
as quickly as it will anybody else-some-
times a little quicker.
