The following are the payments made
by the government to special attorneys {:

Bliss, $46,2O8.1S; Brewster, $4,000; Cook,
$6,945.1S; Gibson, $4,000; Ker, So, 7,S72.4S;
Merr1ck, $4,000; Pinkerton, S2,494 ga !;
grand total, $125,979.4S. To the above
payments others are to be added which
will considerably increase the aggregate

25 per cent. additional.
JosLYN's VERDICT.
When Assistant Secretary Joslyn was
asked what he thought of
the verdict he explained how it
was obtained from 8 reminiscence from
his own experience. Some years ago he
defended man who was sued on a note.
The rights of the case were on his side, but
unfortunately the evidenc ewas on the other
side. He got twenty-five or thirty friends
of the defendant to attend the trial regular
ly and always sit close to the jury and let
no one else get near, and manifest approx
al Of everything that was said that was
favorable to the defense a1d so far as the
court would let them express indifference
to or dissent from everything the lawyers
on the other side said. After five days
trial though the evidence was
all on the side of
plaintiff, the jury brought in verdict for
the defendant. In the celebrated case
which just closed scarcely anyone who was
interested in securing conviction except
the prosecuting attorneys attended the
trial, while the court room was crowded
day after day with friends of the defend
ants, who made their sym pathies apparent
at every turn. The jury was simply mag
netiZed by the well-wishers that dominated
in the court room The more honest and
open to conviction they were, the more
readily they absorbed the influences
thrown around them. For six months the
jurors have been breathing an atmosphere
created by the defense, and they couldn't
help acquitting. There is no doubt about
tie guilt of the defendants, but the gov
ernment had no show from the start, un-
less it had packed the court room as the
defendants did. Mr.. Merrick is a fine,
clear, cute lawyer, who managed his case
well, but he has no such magnetism as
Ingersoll. He can't stir the feelings of
the crowd as Ingersoll. Bob denounced
methods that he said the government has
resorted to in that hearty and enthusiastic
way he has, and the crowd was with him
and together they oyerpowered the minds
of the jury.
DORSEY SERENADED AND MAKES 4 SPEECH.
S.W. Dorsey was serenaded late this
evening at his residence by the colored
Republican club of this city. He made a
brief speech in acknowledgement of the
courtesy, in which he said: II thank you
| for the heart you have shown IN calling
| here this evening. [ thank you. not only
for myself, but for all the defendants. |
thank ycu, not only for the defendants and
their families,b but l thank you for the cour-
! age you have shown in the presence of all
the dishOnor that the government has tried
to put upon me, in plasteriDg the graves
of mothers and the cradles of babies
| with infamy by unjust power. You are brave
| enough you are strong enough TO raise up
| your voice and your right hand against
this attempted injusrlse. 1 thank you for
the courage you have shown, I thank you
for the pluck that men like you can show,
| looking in the face of power, but over and
/
| in whose presence humanity will bow
down, possibly not this year or next, but
the time will come when it will be pointed
| Warren Hastings. The trembling wires
that bore the message of ac-
quittal to Berlin, Moscow and Dublin told
the poor, lowly and hopeless that there
were yet twelve men that could be found
! hn
that there was not government
large enough, there was not public treas
ury fruitful enough, there were not leads
of gold thick enough and there was not
executive power great enough to seduce
the judgment of twelve honest men. I
don't care about myself. 1t is matter of
little consequence who is convicted or
who is not. It is matter of great conse-
| quence whether there is any government
powerful enough, or whether there is any
treasury full enough to bow down citi-
zen, however humble. This trial and this
verdict has placed upon the books of JUS
| tice splendid record of the manhood of
men. A jury made up of Democrats and
Republicans, colored men and white men,
| Protestants, Catholics and Atheists, all
agreed that the men charged were not gull
|
Columbia, where the cloud of power casts
! its shadow over every individual, that
twelve men could be found who would not
bend the pregnant hinges of the knee that
thrift might follow fawning." A halo of
glory, of truth, will hang about them as
long as they live, and it will decorate every
thatched cottage that has been built or will
be built in the next thousand years.
Good bye and thank you.
DORSEY WRITES JOHN A. MARTIN.
Ex-senator Dorsey has written the fol-
lowing letter to the newly elected secretary
of the Republican national committee:
GEN. JOHN A. MARTIN, ATCHIsoN, Kas.-
! Dear Sir: At the time when l was con-
| fined in dark room and not able to see
the walls that surrounded me, received a
letter from you which I answered by die
tation, as 1 have been obliged to do for
many months. 1 supposed my answer was
sent you, but it turns out the stenographic
notes were never transcribed. 1 regret
this for the reason that would not wish to
feel guilty of discourtesy to man who
has always been just to me. When 1 was
appointed secretary of the Republican ma
tional committee at the request of Gen.
Garfield and accepted the place at the
| EARNEST solicitation of Cen Arthur
