STAR ROUTE REM AIMS.
manner.

The remains OF the Governments Star
route business consists, in part, of an old aud
new indictment against Brady. OF the former
Judge Wylic intimated, according to the press
dispatch Of yesterday, that she hardly thought
it need give Brady's counsel any trouble, {"
probability of its ever being tried. Under the
new ind ciment Brady gave bond in the sum
OF SEQ, 900 to appear. There is also the case
OF ex-senator, now Congressman, Kellogg, in
which are various pleas in abatement, the
principal probably being that the indictment
is not within the statute of limitation. Pleas
in abatement are questions Of law, of the ma
ture of exceptions in the civil law. to be dis
posed of precedent to trial. Judge Wylie
may properly deal with them. But the ad-
ministration has, in good faith and with all
the proper means at its command, sought the
conviction of these Star route conspirators,
of whose guilt the public mind is completely
satisfied, yet the prosecution has wholly
failed. Nothing can be more unjust than to
place the responsibility of the failure upon the
government We are not aware that any, ex-
cepdng those who have parizan motive for
it, do so. The fault is with the jury. In the
District of Columbia the great body of inteli-
gence is alien 10 the District, and hence not
subject 10 jury duty. The legally qualified
juror is got from the colored people and those
whites vitiated with political and other bad
habits. It is natural to suppose the negroes
are not the best specimens. We hence think
there should be a change Of venue in future
Star route prosecutions if they are to continue.
1t is sufficiently ascertained that there can be
no Star route criminals convicted within the
District. Hence any competent court outside
would afford better prospect of success tn an
Judge Wylie's.

IMPROVING TIE CEMETERY

The LIGHT has frequently drawn attention
to the chaotic state OF the city cemetery, and i
is gratifying to find that the City Council at
last propose to do something TO alter thai
which has long been a local grievance.
The last resting place Of the dead should be
pleasant spot laid out to please the eye, and
to show that we do indeed remember our
dead. The graves should be laid out clearly
and distictly, the weeds kept under control
and a lawn surface cultivated as far as posi-
BILE, water should be accessible for the nurture
Of flowers, and the whole laid out in pleas
ant manner. This would encourage the citi-
zens to take better care of the graves of the
dead, because the force OF example, and the
spirit of emulation are ever powerful. In a
short time, il the matter is properly dealt with,
we can take visiting friends to our cemetery,
point to it with pride, and say, this is our
Metropolis, the city of the dead
There are many things that should be done,
aud which the city will no doubt do, but
there is one important change should be made.
Instead Of paying SO much by fees, the ceme-
terry officials should be paid fixed salary, and
all fees go into the city treasury. By this
means the citizens will have the absolute on
troll over their cemetery, and acquire funds to
keep and maintain the cemstery in dece mt

convey. The innocence of Mr.. Borden is,
however, fairly established, and 1t is clearly
shown that Jenkins had no real ground for
staying him, even supposing that the alleged
debauchment Of Miss Butler had been an &C

fearful re,ributon.
