Ir OTTMAN, by reason OF having stolen,
or OF having feloniously received money
stolen from the Government, became in
debted to the Government and liable to pay
such Indebtedness, why did Bliss, the
referee Of the Government whom Brewster
had charged with the duty Of examining
the whole matter and reporting thereon,
presumably in the interest of the Govern
ment; Bliss, who knew that the Govern
ment had $31 900 in money suspended and
awaiting the result Of the civil trials and
applicable to judgments that the Govern
ment might certainly and easily have OBJ
tained Bliss, who knew all this and also
knew that no effort had been made to OBJ
tain judgments against Ottman. We ask,
why did Bliss, this referee, recommend that
the Government should release to somebody
$4,000 Of this money without civil trial
or an attempt to have one?
How could Bliss at that time, being at
the moment Of the more important advance
upon the Treasury that he then had in
contemplation, and which he has ever since
so persistently conducted and with so much
prolific himself; how could he, at such
time, relax his controlling purpose to con-
slider so triiiing matter? Did his avarice
need gentle stimulant-a mild encourage
mcnt--as prelude to the more abundant
qualification afforded it by the StarRonte
prosecutions?
Every view Of this disgraccful affair sug-
gests an interrogation. For example:
Why was reference necessary?
Why was Bliss appointed referee?
From whom did the lucky recipients Of
the $4,000 derive title? If from the
Government, the commissions for collecting
$4,000 seem large, especially when 1t is
considered that the Government already
had the whole $31 600 in its grasp, and
that the means for its absolute acquisition
were easy and expeditions. And we do
not understand how OttnaH could have
given better title than he had and mis-
title, in the opinion Of Bliss, was q thieFs
only.
Why was such u travesty on justice a'
Bliss recommended adopted by Brewster
Attorney General ~
Was 1t all prearranged, and were the
reference to Bliss and his report, together
with the incidental apocryphal "corre
spondence," illusions to conceal scheme
to obtain $4,000 dishonesty?
And, by the way, 'oho did get the $40,
| 600?

tainly, Messrs. Bliss, Ker and Merrlck havo

papers in the Posto1ce Department have been
read 10 the Jury. For more than q year tho
Government has been doing Its level best, and
II the defednants are not convicted IL Will be
simply from the fact that the Jury do not agree
with the Government.
This trial is like others, and II the defend
ants are acquitted the Government Will be de-
feaied and nobody Will be convicted. Nothing
could bo more dangerous than tho doctrine
that an Attornoy.Gencral must convict or re.
sign. Such nm iden would hatch bribery and
corruption. All that can be asked OF the prose-
cutting officers is TO Introduce the evidence and

story of his outrage, not only ON MS nrst wile
but on the deceived woman whom ho immodi'

Enough, however, has come TO light to reveal
the contemptible character OF tho man In glhr-
ing colore. Having consented TO his wife's
departure for Europe to educate tholr daugh-
ter, having attended 20 all the details OF her
journey, having sent hor regular remlttanceS

application of strap oil to the sitting-down

THE leading metropolitan journals, by
which is meant the blanket sheets, for
they lead ouly in size and dulluess, are
very much exercised over the Miner con-
tract for carrying the mails from Niobrara
TO Deadwood. They assume that the
Postoffice Department should have ignored
Miners bid, which was the lowest, and let
1t TO some higher bidder, merely because
he is under indictment and had been per-
sistently lied about by the aforesaid lead
ing journals. So far as this phase of the
question is concerned, the Department did
e1setly right.
The fact that the route is the shortest one
from a railroad point to the Black-Hlll re-
sion, aud that Senator Manderson and Rep
Iesentative Valentine and host OF petit

Government, Is a very proper thing to do.

THE CRITIC ABROAD.

A novel and brutal whisky drinking
match occurred at a tavern in the county,
near Washington, one day last week. 1t
was between an Irish farm hand and q
colored teamster for small stake. Two
quart cups were filed with very Inferior
whisky and placed in the hands of the con-
testants.
Each man." said the master of cere-
monies, n tall, rough-lOoking countryman,
"will begin drinking when / call time,
and continue until j notify you that the
ten minutes have expired
moment later time was called and both
men began gulping down the fiery fluid in
large mouthfuls. No water was allowed
the drinkers, and after few minutes their
faces began TO distort, while the lrishman's
turned lobster-red. The colorcd man was
the first to put down his cup,sevcn minutes
after the contest began.
THAT'S 'nufr" he muttered, staggering
up against the wall.
The white man then handed his vessel TO
bystander, and, without uttering % word,
stood swaying back and forth like
reed. The remaining liquor in the
cups was measured, and it was found that
tho colored man had drank all OF his quart
but gill, while his antagonist had sue
ceeded in getting away with only a pint
and half The colored man, was of course,
declared the winner, but, being too drunk
to understand the fact, was laid upon pile
Ofshucks to sober up. The white man be-
coming too intoxicated to stand, was placed
in q wagon and taken offby his friends. Tho
winner, IL is said, went to work as usual
the next day with his mule.cart. The
white man is still confined to his bed, tho
vile liquor sccthing through his veins and
producing many symptoms of alcoholic
mania. The teamstcr explains his success
hu n hnnrtv
corn bread and bacon before tho contest be-
gan. The other had eaten nothing since
breakfast.
What has become of the dudes isa perth
nent inquiry at this time, because the
casual observer certainly has not failed to
observe fearful scarcity of the shank
limbed, big-hatted specimens OF dis
played anatomy upon our streets
Of late. Answers to the above In
teIr0gat0ry are numerous. Some people
| think that they have crawled into their
| holes until winter. Others believe that the
warm weather has "struck in" and added
| their frail reason, while not a few say that
the dudes are preparing to appear
| upon the Avenue en- masse, in new
summer uniform, TO consist Of flowing
| silk pants, frilled and pulled shirts, gauze
| pea. Jackets and the new dude straw hat.
| The lattor article will certainly be the most
| remarkable of the lot. Wide-brimmed, of
| the newest tshade-paralyzed daisy-and sur
rounded by band of broad crushed straw
berry ribbon, with flowing ends, yard in
