Walsh's Suit to Be Dismissed in the Dis
trict Court and Filed in New York.


WASHINGTON, Sept 22.-The counsel for John
A. Walsh to-day took the usual steps to have dis
missed the suit begun by the latter some time
since in the courts of this district against Thos.
j. Brady, ex-Assstant Postmaster-general to
recover money said to have been loaned to the
amount of about $2S, 900. Walsh, who has in
stituted a similar suit in New York city, says in
a letter to his attorneys here:
81 do not believe L can get justice in the city
OF Washington. am not willing to try my
action before jury at that place. The United
States have permitted me to be grossly n6eled
while witness on its behalf without Furnishing
the offenders therefor, Notwithstanding L
placed i'll its possession proofs of act, which
fact is calculated TO create prejudice against
me in my civil action against Brady. will eX-
anime Brady on the Sd of October next, as also
Kellogg, having obtained an order to that effect,
having obtained the order from Judge DOnOhue
yesterday. got service on both of them"
Thomas one OF Walsh's counsel said to
porter to-day that on account of the result of
the recent star-Foute trial he had advised the
dismissal of the suit. He did not think Walsh
had been treated fairly by the government,
which had taken no steps to defend him. Que
advantage he had in transferring has suit to the
New York State courts was in securing the ad-
vantage of the latters machinery. If witnesses
were summoned there and refused TO testify,
they could be sent to Jail. Here nothing could
be done with them.

A Much-Needed Book.

To the Editor OF the Indianapolis Journal
The very able review of General Wallace's
part in the Shiloh BATTLE, given by General
McGinnis, together with General Wallace's
letter, suggests that it is the duty of somebody
to gather together the facts of that battle, now
that the chief obstacle to their publication is out
of the way, and, who so competent as General
McGnnis to do this9 1t need not be very large
book yet enough would be taken by the sur
vivors of the Eleventh and others to defray ex-
penses, There are downright false statements
in Badeau' so-called history and grievous mis-
takes in Sherman's, all of which need correcting
by living witnesses. General MoGinuis's review
recently published will answer as the basis, but
it is necessarily brief. General Gresham Is in

JOB TO LET.

The Republicans in the House of Repre-
sentstives repudiete Mr.. Keifer to the OK.
tent of declaring that they are without a
leader, and they are looking for a man
around whom they can rally. The man
sought for is one who will inspire confd-
ence, who will be strong in great emer-
gencies when party questions are up ard
party feelings run high.
Three gentlemen are ambitious to attain
the vacant leadership. These are Mr..
Reed of Maine, Mr.. Hiscock of New York
and Mr.. Calkins Of Indiana. Mr.. Reed
is possessed of commanding appearance
and fine physique and is quite handsome
man, but he is liable to loose his temper
and is easily ratified in dsbate, and is no
match for several men who might be
named among the Democrats and in his
own party.
Frank Riscoek, is not nearly SO impos.
ing man as Mr.. Reed, is not quick
thinker and has Levy ease-lovipg habit
of mind. He is not willing to gointo a
rough-and-tumble fight such es are liable
CHOOSES to turn itself into bear garden.
His ambition to be conspicuous and orn-
amental does not incline those who want
some one to. lean on to think very favor
able of him.
Mr. Calkins differs from both of his
colleagues. He is good humored and
seif-possessed but infexib,e to the degree
of stubornness that is often damaging
when little diplomacy would be invalua-
BILE. He is perhaps more sincere than
either of the other would-be leaders, and
always commands the respectful attention
of his colleagues and opponents and of the
three he may be termed the best man, but
the fear exists that he LACKS some essentials
for tho position.
Things have the appearance, as there is
such diversity among the minority party
that they will be obliged to advertise for
proposals and let the job to the bes. bidder
that can be obtained.
