yearly, Lewis Newcomb, of New York, post
Office Inspector was called, and testified that
by order of Postmaster-general James he had
followed Rerdell across the Jersey City ferry
on June 18th or 18th, 1881.
Ingersoll objected to the testimony, and a
long argument ensued.
The court refused to receive the evidence,
and witness was directed to stand aside
Mr.. Bliss called James W. Donnelly, the
bookkeeper, who had Strengthened out the
books. He was asked when he had last re-
ceived money from Dorsey. Objection was
made by the defense and sus-
tanned by the court. A scrap of paper
bearing some notes was shown witness, who
said the handwriting was that of Rerdell
and himself. 1t was offered to sustain Rer-
dePs testimony regarding his correspond
ence with Torrey about the balance sheets,
Witness identified the paper as a memoran-
dunn from which entries had been made in
the books
DR.. James Rerdell, ST., was the next wit
ness. He testified that he is a brother of NJ
c. Rerdell; knew the latter went to New
York in June, 1881 Witness said he went
with his brother to the postoffice on Monday
or Tuesday after his return from New York,
and his brother received a letter.
The defense objected at this point, and the
prosecution was called upon for an explana-
ton of their offer.
Mr.. Merrick said the witness would testify
that his brother had received letter from
Dorsey as described by Rerdell in his testi-
mony, importuning him not to desert him.

family, and witness had read the letter.
Another argument followed, but the court
finally decided to reject the evidence, and
witness was excused

ject of the division of time TO be allowed for

Mr.. Bliss said the prosecution expected to
close soon after the next meeting of the

not take much more time.

him from acting as pastoral priest, and that
the Bishop refuses to appoint him to suita-
BILE position or to transfer him to any other

THE NEW POSTAGE Law.
How 1t Operates Upon the Revenues of the
Postoffice Department.

Gostoiuce department.
WASHINGTON, April 13.-The new law for
the adjustment of the salaries of postmasters,
taken in connection with the forthcoming re-
duction of letter postage from to cents,
will effect material change in the pay of
postnasters in all small offices, as we'll as in
the amount of revenue derived from such
offices by the government. 1t is estimated
that under the new law, and upon the pres
ent volume of business, the aggregate revenue
of the Postoffice Department from the sale of
postage stamps of all kinds will be reduced
20 per cent. Upon the basis of this estimate,
the proportional receipts of the government
and postmasters respectively, in the smaller
offices will be changed as follows. In the post
office, where the annual revenue from stamps
amounts to $50, the postmaster now receives
$50 and the government $40; under the new
law, for like amount OF business, the post
master will receive $40 and the government
nothing. Similar proportionate changes will
be made in the receipts of the government
and postmasters, according to the amount of
business done, VI til offices are reached which
have gross revenue from stamps of $3.50 per
annum. In this class of offices the post
master now receives $50 per annum and the
government 500; under the new law the
former will receive 5000 and the latter moth
ing. In Offices where the revenue exceeds
that of the class last meDt toned the govern
ment begins to derive revenue. For instance,
in postofiices where the income from stamps
amounts to 800 year, the postmaster now
receives $40 and the government S160; under
the new law the postmaster will receive 1912
and the government $4S. In offices where
the pay OF the postmasters from the sale of
stamps reaches $500 the increase from the
rent OF boxes is usually enough to make the
compensation of the postmasters 81 900 per
year, and when it reaches that amount the
office is placed in the third class and the post
master is then commissioned by the Presi-
ent, with specified salary, and his pay is no
longer determined by the amount of STAN ps
