The jury before which the star route
case was tried are catching it in the press
all over the country. The verdict was
entirely unexpected. There is no doubt
that the jurymen or some of them were
of insufficient caliber to deal with the tan
gled mass of testimony and the intricacies
of the law ruling the District in regard
to conspiracies. There seems to be no
evidence, in fact it is not claimed that any
one of the jury was tempered with.

NEW HAMPSHIRE.

Department Commander John c. Linehan-
S. N. Brown, A. A G-has issued General Or
ders, No. g. which contain the following: Cen
eral Orders, No. 10, circular from National
Headquarters and Roster of National and De-
partment officers, are forwarded for the infor-
nation of comrades in this Department John
Waldo, Post 90, Pittsfeld, is appointed Abide
Camp, vice Josiah Cove resigned Four Posts
have been organized since the last General Or
der, viz March IA, George III. Hoyt Post &c,
at EPSON, with thirty-four members; March
q, Austin Goodell Post 81, at Monroe, fifteen
members; March %, Moulton S. Webster Post,
6S, at Sandwich twenty-five members; May 2,
Charles III. Hoyt Post, SO, at East Northwood,
twenty-eight members. The returns for the
quarter ending March 81, show a loss from the
preceding quarter, notwithstanding four Posts
have been organized in that time. While he
believes New Hamshire can show a larger mem
bership in the G. a. r., in comparison with the
population, than any other State, he does not
think the comrades are willing to see any de-
crease in numbers at present, and the mention
of the fact should determine every comrade to
make an effort TO fill our ranks. Our Western
comrades are showing US what can be accom-
plished by persistent efforts, and New Hamp-
shire must follow their example.
General Orders No. A. announces that, by
vote of the Department Encampment the Me-
mortal Day report is dispensed with. Post
Commanders will make every exertion to COM
plete their record of graves, as recommended
by the Department Chaplain i'll his annual re-
port In towns which are not visited by Posts
of the G. A. r. it is hoped that the citizens will
take action toward the proper observance of the
day and that no veterans grave shall lack the
tribute of grateful people.
