s.The Dickson outrage"

Under the above heading the Post to-day
publishes the following communication:
TO The Editor Of the Post: Considerable in
dignation is expressed throughout the COM
munity, and particularly among the members
Of the bar, at the action of Judge Smell In the
Dickson proceeding. The public is familiar
with the history of the case and Its principal
Incidents. During the late trial of the STAR
Route case the foreman of the Jury was ap-
preached by an agent OF the Department of
Justice with proposition to influence his
verdict of which he at onco notified Judge
Wylie and placed himself under his guidance.
At the close OF the trial sworn statement was
filed with the proper officer and corroborating
evidence of the facts submitted. The De-
partment Of Justice was informed through
the Attorney,General OF this action. Later on
a special attorney was appointed to investigate
the charges, who, diverting them from their
proper channel, and with the aid OF the ac-
cused briber, who was made the principal wilt
ness, a criminal charge was brought against
Dickson and a warrant Issued for his arrest.
Notwithstanding the repeated efforts OF Dick
con and his counsel to obtain warrant for
Bowen's arrest, they were met with a direct
refusal and denied the right of appeal to the
courts. A manly letter, setting forth in re.
spectful terms the grievance of the complain
ant, was declared by the Judge to be in con.
tempt of court, and the writer was dragged
before the irate judge, to be censured for as
eerting what he believed to be a right accorded
to every citizen. Continual delays on the part
of Government counsel, under the subterfuge
of absent witnesses, prevented a hearing of
the case until the very day the second Star
corrupt endeavor or intent to influence the
Jury" was entered into, md Bowen's testimony
depended upon to sustain this charge. The
false utterances of this depraved character
were fully proven by tho defense, and Judge
Smell stigmatlzed the witness as "a disgraced
man." Beyond this testimony all of the jury,
without further exception, state that the paper
recltng the Bowen interview was read by
Dickson at their request and desire, and
by unanimous vote. No testimony what
duced to maintain the charge. He was placed
under bail for his further appearance as n
witness, ana ned me jurisdiction OF the court,
and forfeited his bail. Under all the circum
stances of this case, the decision OF Judge
Smell is surprise to the community, and an
outrage which is sternly denounced by the
members of the bar. There is mockery
of justice In the inconsistent position which
has been taken by the Judge, and this prose-
cution is assuming the shape of persecution.

story istold with regard to the late God
love s. Orth, which illustrates the finesse and
tact OF eX.Secretary Of State Hamilton Fish.
Orth and Maynard were appointed minister's
TO Austria and Turkey, and Fish was very
much concerned lest the former should not
observe the social proprietles on the other
side. He hit upon the following plan, and
sending for 0rth said: "Mr. orth, have a
favor 10 ask you. Mr.. Maynard, you know, is
an excellent gentleman, but he is not accus.
toned to the ways of society as you and are,'
and the Secretary OF State smiled pleasantly
at the guileless Orth, who had on a sky
blue neckie. and unblackened boots. After
having clinched his point he continued; 81 am
on the costume usual among gentlemen when
they are out In society. He may startle the
foreign courts with n red necktie and u sack
coat, and now what want to ask you, Mr..
orth, is to give him hint, as you are both
going over on the same steamer, about what
you or 1 would wear on social occAsions-the
dress coat, black trousers and waistcoat and
the simple white tie. You Will know pre-
cisely how to do II, and you viii oblige me
greatly by attending to a matter OF so much
Importance, as you, as member of polite So
cieiy, know. PottSyiAe (Pd.) Chronicle,

Mr.. Orth possessed one OF the qualifications OF

When ne was presented at the Austrian Court
as American Minister he made his speech TO

Underground Cable-w Ways In WASH
tnEtOn.


TO the Editor OF The EUenln0 Critic:
notice IN your issue OF Saturday cOmmu-
ntcation signed "a. Watson," suggesting that
Congress "order" or force Washington street
railroad companies to adopt a system OF pro-
pulsion by underground cables. This letter
swas accompanied by a letter from General
Rosecrans, stating some facts regarding this
class OF street railroads IN San Francisco,
whore 6ll climatic and other conditions are
peculiarly fitted for the use OF underground
cable-ways, with all OF which General Rose.
Grams Is no DOUBT familiar.
have had extensive experience with the
various mechanfsms aud requirements neces-
sary to successful operation of a galloway
system, and have prosecuted probably a ma.
1ority OF the applications for patents on these
eystems, commencing with the first ones from
San Francisco granted TO Andrew s. Hallidie,
esq, the originator and proprietor, In 1872, Of
what 10 known as the Clay-street Hill Road,
and who ie the father OF practical under
ground cable propulsion. have also partici-
pated extensively, as counsel, In the litigation
growing out OF the issue OF these various
patents, and venture the assertion that IL Is
by no means an acceptedfact among those best
cOnversant with the subject that underground
cable propulsion Will successfully stand the
exigencies OF climate and other drawbacks OF
The cities east OF the Mississippi River. The
experimental sections OF road In Chicago and
Cincinnati havo not yet been tested through
sufficient time 10 draw certain deductions from
the future.
Your correspondent, Mr.. A. Watson, has
evidently not kept posted as TO the enterprise
OF our Washington street railroad companies.
tOr, Wltnln my knOWleuge, DeIOre Ioot ol
cable road was laid in Chicago, Mr.. Henry
Hurt, president Of tho Washington and George
town company, was in negotiation here with
Henry O. 6ebolt, ESQ.,, late general snperinteu-
dent and constructor OF the Sutter street cable
road, OF San Francisco, TO lay cable way on
Seventh street from the river front TO the hound
ary. II my memory serves me correctly this
was over two years ago. A critical examination
OF the charter OF the company developed the
fact that ite terms would not warrant the
change 10 q cable road without rlsking the for,
feifure OF the charter In the absence Of amend
mant or change by Congressional action.
fmaQlne Mr.. Hurt did not think the time pro
pitioue TO ask any Congressional tinkering al
the charter OF the company, and as Mr.. Case
bolt WAS Interested In a Cincinnati company
which he dnce occupied all his time, the
matter h. remained IN abeyance.
Respectfully, RIcH'D X. EYANs.

Another Soft Thing.

The heightened sweetness OF the Star-Route
trial long drawn out, though an aflllstlon to O
reading public, Is not to be sneezed at by the
attorneys who have charge of the case In
behalf OF the Government. Mr.. Bliss, up 10
the nrst Monday In December last, had drawn
$4,000 for his services IN said cases-one
years pay. He has drawn $1,000 since. With
view TO satisfying himself as to the truth or
falsity OF the rumor that MIR. Bliss was recety-
Ing 500 per day for his services, a member of
Congress a few days ago called ON the Attor-
ney-deneral at the Department OF Justice and
asked him the question direct. Mr.. Brewster
Informed tho NJ. O.. that Mr.. Bliss was recely-
Ing and had received 800 per day from tho
hour or HIS employment up u tho present
time, and would continue TO be paid that
amount. The Attorney-General was Questioned
by the snme gentleman as TO the amount paid
Messre. Merrick and Ker. He was informed
that each OF them bad been employed by him
al a fee OF 500 per day; that each OF them had
received that amount per day every day since
their employment.

Origin Of the Calendar.

The word calendar " is derived
from calendturn, denoting the com
mencements Of months, which, in
the language of ancient Rome, were
called dies caZendoe, or simply CAL
epdOe; that is, days on which "call-
ing out shOuld occur, from cGL0, %
I call. This calling out took place
upon the disappearance Of the small
crescent after new moon, and at the
present day remains the custom
among those people, who, as for in
stance the Turks, reckon time
wholly from the recurring phases
of the moon. This was loudly pro-
claimed from the roofs of public
buildings by appointed priests or
seers, who were required to seek for
the moons crescent in the evening
sky either two days after new moon,
or four or five days after the last
appearance Of its light in the morn
ing sky; this, then, was established
as the beginning Of the month,
the single days being reck-
oned by counting backward or for
ward from the night, or from the
intermediate day of full moon. This
method of reckoning time from the
revolutions and phases Of light of
the moon has been long prac-
ticed in those countries in which
the constant clearness Of the heav-
ems enables people to determine
with considerable accuracy the first
appearance of the moonlight, the
so-called thew light" and, again,
among those whose limited inter-
course with other nations afforded
no comparison Of fixed standards.
In countries however, where con-
tinued clearness of the sky was not
afforded, or where the necessity was
urgently felt for a regular determ-
ination of future days, the seers at
length desired that they may be per-
mitted to calculate, upon the basis
of the past determinations of the
duration of the regular months, the
recurrence of the phases of the
moon for a certain time in advance,
and Herewith the regular succession
of the months, and to publicly record
the number and the method of
counting the days of the single
months. Thus, in place of the public
proclamation from the house-tops of
the observed appearances, the cal
endar now came into use, containing
calculations of the calling days.

THE SIGH

Obi Sigh not so, my fond and faithful
wife,
In sad remembrance or iu boding fear!
This is not life-this phantssm type OF
WHAT'S there to rejoice or mourn for
here?
Be it no wealth, nor fame, nor post is
Small blessedness for infinite d.sire;
But has the King his wish in Windsor's
Or bat the common lot-meat, clothes,
and FIRE?
Lone stands Our home amid the suIlen
Its threshold by few friendly feet be
trod;
Yet zoe are here, we two, still true though
poor;
And tfis, too, is the tOOrEa-the City
OF God"
O'er hangs US not the infnitude of sky.
Where all the starry lights revOlve
and shine?
Does not that Universe within US lie
And mOve-its Maker or itself divine?
And we, my love, .lite's waking dream
once done,
Shall sleep to wOndrOus lands on
others breast,
And all we loved and toiled for, one by
one,
shall join us there and. wearied, be at
rest.
Then sigh not so, my fond and faithful
wife,
But striving well, have hope, be of
good cheer;
of life;
Not that but this is to be looked and
wished for here.

He Had Heard.

A good story is told of one of the
old-time Philadelphia Quakers, whose
sterling integrity was ingeniously COM
mingled with worldly shrewdness. He
was an extensive vessel owner, and
during his life made fortune, which
has since in the hands of his heirs
been doubled again. At one time,
when long period of stormy weather
had greatly delayed shipping of all
kinds, he became alarmed for the safe
ty OF ship loaded with most valua-
BILE cargo, and several weeks overdue.
Going to All insurance agent he truth
fully told him that he feared the ves-
scl had been lost, but if the agent
wished to take the risk he had no OBJ
jections. OF course the agent hesitat-
ed and put him off from day to day,
hoping for priva'e information regard
ing the missing craft. One bright
morning the Quaker drove up to the
insurance office and called to the
agent: Thee need not make those
papers; | have heard from the ship
Instantly the Office was in a hustle,
and in q few moments the agent came
hurrying forward, exclaiming. 'Oh!
you are too late; the papers are already
made out; here they are!' AS the
Quaker looked them over (the ink BE-
ing scarcely dry the agent asked
We'll, what have you heard p 4 have
heard,' responded the Quaker, with
childlike simplicity, as hs put the do
cuments in his pocket: Il have heard
that the ship has gone to the bottom
