FOREMAN DICKSON INDICTED.
The Grand Jury Find n True Bill Against
Him for Corruptly Influencing the
Jury.

The Grand Jury Find n True Ell Against
Him for Corruptly Influencing the
Jury.
The grand jury yesterday found true bill
against William Dickson foreman of the first
star route jury, for corruptly cndeavorng to
influence jurors. The witnesses on the back
of the indictment are John =. Mccarthy,
Zachariah Tobriner Matthew McNelly,
George w. Cox, Henry A. AlcOtt, Edwin p.
Doniphan, Hugh +. Murray, Edwin j. Nc.
Lain, all members of the jury of which Mr..
Dickson was foreman Harry 7. Goodwin, of
the star A. Maurice Low, of THE NATIONAL
REPUBLICAN; Persefer A. Kennedy, aud
Brewster Cameron, of the department Of JUS
tice
The Indictment is quite voluminous, con-
tanning two counts, and rectcs that thc said
William Dickson and the other Jurors were
cmpanelled at the March term of the Grim
inal court to try n cause between the United
States and Brady, Dorsey, and others,
known as the star route trial (;
and that the said Dickson, "devising
contriving and intending unawtully and cor
ruptly to influence the said jury" unlawfully
and corruptly prepared II certain paper. The
paper referred to is the statement Mr. Dick
son made in regard to Bowen approaching
him, and which has already been published
in full in TIE REPUBLICAN,. 1t further re-
cites that on the eighth day of September,
1852, when the jury had retired to consider
the case Dickson exhibited the aforesaid
paper to the jury and thereby corruptly in
1lucnced them. The second count charges
Dickson with corruptly endeavoring to influ-
cnce the jurors by exhibiting and reading to
them n certain statement purporting to be an
offer made to him by Henry A. Bowen.
The bond that Mr. Dickson has already
furnished will be sufficient to meet this case.
As was stated in THE REPUBLICAN yesterday
Mr. Dickson is out Of the city, but he will re-
turn TODAY.

ward Clark architect of the capitol and is
thoroughly frcproof IL is three stories in
height, and contains Al rooms, with retir-
ing rooms, closets, and every convenience
which modern science can devise for the
health an comfort of the occupants. An air
duct running the whole length of the corridor,
under the basement, admits fresh air to the
heating coils The heating throughout is by
steam.
On the ground floor, the four rooms at the
cast end are intended for the land records and
Office of recorder of deeds. The suite of rooms
in the west end will be occupied by the regis
ter of wills. The intermediate rooms are in
tended for the court records and IL is prob
able that the surveyor of the district will re-
move from the dingy rooms now occupied by
him to rooms on this floor of the now build
ing. In the main story, the east end has been
fitted up for the court in general tern; the
west end for the equity court. The principal
court room islocatcd in the center of this floor,
and the two rooms adjoining are for the use
of the clerk of the court. The office of the
United States marshal will be in the two
rooms adjoining those on the west end.
The upper story has been especially finished
with view to giving the best accommoda-
tion for jury rooms, of which there are six.
On this floor is an elegant room, 40 by 40 feet,
TO be fitted up for the use Of the Bar associa-
tion.
The original appropriation was Sl17,000 but
extra work will probably largely increase this
amount.
THE REAL ESTATE MARKET.
Inquiry among the real estate dealers shows
that the market is active, and that the build
ing season will open early in the spring. The
demand now appears to be for improved
property at moderate figures, and for ground
which will soon come into the market for
building purposes. There has never been q
time in the history of Washington when such
an amount of capital was seeking investment
in real estate in this city. Money is plentiful
for loans thereon at n low rate of interest, in
some cases being offered at 8 per cent. per an
mum. The ruling rate, however, is per cent.
upon property at fair valation.
The demand for houses to rent medium
rental is steady and increasing, and the want
of such property is n serious Inconvenience TO
those who prefer the comforts of n home to
the troubles of boarding house.
