Counsellor Ker's CaIumnies.
'he Post this morning publishes the folio


ing communication:
If Lawyer Ker is correctly reported In his
interview as published In the Philadelphia
papers, he must have been suffering with an
aggravated case of yellow jaundice, brought
on by the prospect of discontinuance of the
fat fees he has been drawing in a badly-man-
aged case. Nothing else can explain such
wild talk. The citizens OF Washington discov.
cred no change in the atmosphere after the
rendering Of the verdict. The scenes on the
Avenue, as depicted by the legal gentleman,
were not discernible by any one else; all was
quiet and serene at tho Ebbitt House, where
he was stopping, and Mr.. Merrick, who lives
near there, was not kept awake by unseemly
orgies. That Mr.. Ker should have been threat
ened by any one is 30 absurd as to need no
notice, and we advise him to take some liver
regulator and keep his head cool. The citizens
OF Washington are capable Of doing their own
thinking, and long since came to the conclu.
sion that the Star-Route cases were spun out
for purpose. Congress may ask the gentle
man how much per diem he was credited
with, the loss OF which might explain his
TRADE.
