Tue star route defendants have had
an eye to business while the long
Wipded trial was proceeding. John r.
Miner has found time to secure smother
$l3 600 contract and Naile has gone on
his bond. The route which runs from
Fort Niobrara, in Nebraska, to Dead
wood, i'll Dakota, is denounced by Sen.
ator Van Wyok AS a bigger steal than
the frauds now on trial. He claims
that the route lies through Indian res
ervatlons all TIE way nearly, and that
there are no white settlers to be &C.
commoiated 10y it. The extremities Of
the cute have abundant mail facilities
now. The inference is very plain from
tnese statements that the only persons
likely TO be hene fitted by the daily ser
wee are the contractors. Van Wyck
is stirring the mstter up. Postmaster
General Gresham promises to help
him. Tue investigation bids fair to be
interesting.

Star Route TraI.
THE INDICTMENTS SUSTAINED.

THE INDICTMENTS SUSTAINED.
WASHINGTON, June 12.-Judge Wylie
disposed ofthe prayers to-day. Touch
ing the indictments he decided that
they were insufficient in some import
ant particulars. But the points wherein
they were insufficient were rot raised
until after the evidence was in and the
defects were cured by statute of the
United States. R. S. sec. 1,025, as they,
the defects, dil not prejudice defend
ants. He disposed of all points raised
against the Indictment; aud sustained
them, and then began his charge to
the jury.
THE CHARGE OF THE COURT.
Judge Wylie began his charge to the
star route jury this afternoon. After
thanking the jurvmen for their patieEt
attention during the weary months of
trial, and reminding them that they
had nothing to do with public demand,
newspaper articles or appeals to SYM
pathies, they must decide the case upon
tho evidence. He at once commenced
to state the legal points involved and
said in part that the policy law must be
found in itsel;. No public officer had
any right to set up his own policy
against the policy of the law. He held
great trust, it was his duty to obey
law for to allow him to.iset up his policy
against tho law would lead to great and
innumerable abuses, but the mere VIC
lation by a public officer was uot nee
essarily crime. He might misunder-
stand his duty; he might be guided by
an intention to do public good. These
remarks we-e intendSd to apply to
General Brady. Where the law said,
in making an increase of service he
must pay q regard to the produc-
tiveness and other circumstances,
hardly seemed reassnable, or for Brady
to say that he disregSrded the product
iveness, and that it was the policy of the
present cibinei, but tle court ceEid not
sanction that policy.
THE LAW PROHIBITED ANY PUBLIC OF
FICER
from expending public moneys or
making contracts fur expenditure be
yond the appropriations. In this case
there was evld snce that all the money
appropriated by congress for the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1880 had
been expended December, 1879 and an
appeal had been made to congress to
supply the deficiency. All that might
have been done from mistaken sense
of duty or an exaggerated idea of the
public good officers in such position
occasionally became enthusiastic on
that subject IF there was no corrupt
motive it was not . criminal act. 1he
jndgc next took up the
QUESTION or CONSPIRACY.
The conspiracy, he said, was charged
to be continuation of intelligent be-
inss to defraud the United States by
fraudulent affdaviis, petitions and or
ders. The statute of limitations COW
cred with it protection al crimes COM
mitted more than three years prior to
the finding of the Indictment, which

SHIN CHIN Sun is an educated China
man, q convert so Christianity, who has

visited the principal cities OF EIrope.
and spent some time in Il )me, where
Shin Cain Sun was received by the

despotism of Europe he had come and
gone freely, but in the great Republic
of the West, the equal laws of which
he had heard, made an exception
against his race aud the custom officers
at New York would not all W Shin to

ashore, but Shin had to remain aboard
ship. It is easy TO say no doubt, that
this officer was fool, but he was act

but illustrates the wholly unjus.ifsble
illibsrality cf the discrimination sgainst

He said he was here on matters en-

talk Of anything connected with his
past history. Eventually, however, the
conversation drifted upon political mat

before congress, which has attracted
such wide spread tention. He did
not look upon his case as one calling
