fuse TO furnish the information IN his posses
sion? Mr. Spooner defied the Democratic
senators to show what, on their doctrine,
was to prevent any President from shutting
Congress out from all knowledge OF dis
honesty occurring under his administra-
tion. The people could thus be kept In
utter ignorance Of the defects OF any ad
ministration. No, no, that could not be
the law. IL never was intended that the
business Of a public trust should be pri-
vate trust. IL never was intended that the
doctrine "pub.ic Office is public trustn
should apply everywhere but to the Execu-
tive. ltcould never have been intended thata
trustee of an express trust could, Mt his
will, make private, and hts own property,
the evidence of his transactions In the trust
and keep his cestui que trust from ali
knowledge. Thatwas what the Presidents
doctrine would lead to.
In the morning hour the House resumed
the consideration Of the bill comforting iur-
isdiction on the court Of claims to investl-
gate private and domestic claims other than
war claims against the United States.
Pending demand for the previous ques-
ton the morning hour expired, and the
bill went over as unfinished business.
The House then went into committee Of
the whole (Mr. Townshend, Of Illinois in
the chair) ON the Indian appropriation bill.
The consideration OF the bill dragged
drearily along, no amendment of any i'm
portance being offered, and such as were
offered being usually ruled on points of
order after long and embarrassing discus
sion.
After Finishing forty-two OF the forty
eight pages Of the bill, the committee rose
and the House at $500 adjourned.

Tuesday morning S. Sidenberg, who
keeps a shoe-shop on Grace street neN
the First-Market scale-house, was be-
fore the Police Court charged with as
saulting and beating Annie Sidenberg
his wife. After the examination OF
several witnesses, one of whom testi-
fed that be saw Mrs. Sidenberg run
out Of the house crying. and that her
husband followed her and knocked her
down and beat her with q shoe,
Sidenberg's brother Abram testified
that there was no disturbance.
and that he did not see his brother
strike his wife. Sidenberg took the
stand, and said that he did not strike
his wife that she was crying about
her child. The accused was fined IS
and required to give bond for his GOOD
behavior for twelve months.
Justice Richardson then preferred
the charge of committing wilful and
corrupt perjury against the two broth
ers, and they were up yesterday morn
ing to answer this charge. After a
careful examination Of the testimony in
the case the accused were discharged.
Justice Richardson was confident that
there had been some disturbance, but

To the Editor of the Dispatch
We said in your issue Of the 23d in
slant that we would not trespass again
on your valuable columns, but as We
are accested on oil occasions for some
intelligence as to what we do 80
much on these yards as our pay de-
mands IS q day to the moulder and
1850 to the setter and his help. The
idea in the above clause seems to have
been misconstrued in public opinion.
So we think, sir, what We now COM
municate for the edification Of the pub
lie they will not again be overbearing
with US as to request our statement
again on the brick subject, although we
are willing at all times to inform to the
best of our ability what is necessary.
We will say, in the first place, o
moulder does not demand Is day for
the making of 5000 bricks, but this
S. will have to be distributed in four
parts-namely, the moulder 81, wheeler
$3.50. bearer sl.25, and the little boy
who paddles in water 25 cents--for the
making Of 5000 bricks. In doing this
work for the accomplishment Of days
work we have the yards to put in order
to lay bricks out on, sand to get and
sift, and each man q thousand bricks to
take up in the afternoon Of every day,
Sundays not excepted. The man who
sets and burns the bricks does not de-
mand $3.50 q day for himself, as here
tofore supposed, but the $3.50 is dis
tributed in four parts-s2 to the setter
and 81. so to each one Of the wheelers.
They have to set l6,500 bricks every
day for their task. Of course, this esti.
mate is not computed as trse, because
it is o fraction over the sum supposed
as true.
A word now to our employers: w
would have each and every one Of you
thoroughly comprehend that we did no
appeal to any passions to get our JUS
demands, but the matter was considered
mainly with that deliberation that could
have no other purpose in its aim but q
manly acceptance, knowing the value Of
our labor in this work, at the same
time viewing our almost poor-house
homes, with this understanding-that
you all are fully able to do what is
right and should unResitatingly grant
to us our just demands.
With these remarks VIC submit the
subject.
Very respectfully,
CONSOLIDATED MOULDERS' UNION.
