AFTER HIS RELEASE.
A Writ of Habeas Corpus in the
Silyerman Original Package Case.
1T WILL BE ARGUED SATURDAY.
One of Edison's Light Patents in Use in
This City Years Ago.
DOINGs OF THE COURTS YESTERDAY

The Silverman "original package" case
in Leechburg has been carried into the
United States Court A full history of the
case, which was the first in this State under
the ruling of the United States Supr eme
Court, was published in THE DISPATCH,
with subsequent interview with Mr.. Sill
verman, several DAYS ago.
The matter will come up on Saturday
morning, and the proceedings are in the
nature of writ of habeas corpus to secu re
the release of Charles Silverman, of Leech-
burg, from the Armstrong county Jail. At
the last session of the License Court Silver
man was refused q wholesale license for
Verona borough, because OF that district
having been declared prohibitory. He then
went to Leechburg, where he. opened an
agency for the Cincinnati Brewing Com
pany, and sold what he claims were original
packages within the ruling of the Supreme
Court, shipped to him by the brewing COM
pany. On Tuesday he was arrested on the
charge of selling liquor in prohibitory dis
trict. Yesterday his attorneys. the Hon. c.
S. Fetterman and J. F. Whitworth, went
before Judge Acheson and filed the petition
for a writ of habeas corpus. The petition
states that Silverman was Illegally COM
mitted. He only sold original packages ac-
cording to law, and under the facts he is not
amenable to the laws of Pennsylvania, and
that the Quarter Sessions Court of Arm
strong county has no jurisdiction in the
case.
The writ was issued, and the Sheriff of
Armstrong county ordered to produce Sill
verman before the Court on Saturday.

Postmaster Mexican Notifies the Poston,ce
Employees That They Must Trent the
Public CourteousIy-If They Do Not They
Will be Discharged.
Postmaster Mex can Yesterday had printed
and posted about the interior of the post
office building copies of the following special
notice to all persons in the postal service in
the Pittsburg postofice:
Numerous complaints have recently been
made to the postmaster of lack of attention
promptness and courtesy to the public in the
service of this office. Your attention is there
fore directed to the following or your guild
ance:
The condition, upon the observance Of which
by everyone in this office. from the highest to
the lowest depends their retention in the
service, is prompt attention to the public in the
discharge of the respective duties of each
employs; courteous treatment and pleasing
demeanor to all, whether high or low, old or
young rich or poor; the reference Of all CON-
plants, without regard to the facts or merits Of
the case, to the postmaster.
Infraction of this rule. of any and every kind
must cease forthwith; The strict, T., Literal and
which it is made, will be exacted with rigor
from everyone and anyone who finds it not to
agree with his or her ideas of right or neces-
sity, is at liberty to resign, and has the assur-
be promptly accepted.
Failure to observe the same in its letter and
spirit will result in instant dismissal, irrevo.
cable and final, without respect to the stand
ing age or sex of the offender.
JAS. S. MCKEAN, Postmaster.
Mr.. Mexican was asked about the notices,
and said be had found it necessary to re-
press the disposition OF some of the postal
employees, who seemed to have become pos
sessed with the idea that the Office and
everything in it was private property. and
they the owners. From the first week he
had taken charge OF the office he received
complaints about the overbearing manner
and general discourtesy of different en-
ployes, principally men at the windows and
carriers. When a man would apply for
information he was snapped off as If he had
asked to borrow a dollar. Quite number
had been treated in this way, but Mr.. Nc
Kean knew from the nature of the COM
plants received that they were only small
proportion of those discourteously treated.
AS the postal service is for the public and
the employees the servants of the public, and
as Mr.. Mexican must bear the dlscredit OF
such discourtesy, he says, he will at once
proceed to eradicate that undesirable feature
OF the Office and if he finds it necessary will
discharge any employe in the bui ding to
gain the point desired. He insists that
every person who comes to the postoffice for
information or business must be accorded
the most courteous treatment possible. If
any citizen fails to receive such treatment
the postmaster wishes to be so informed
without delay.

Projecting Them-The Maryland Bounty
Laws Explained.
The application of a colored man to John
D. Watson, ESQ.,, for information, may re-
suit in the saving of a goodly number of
dollars to members of colored regiments here
and elsewhere who served in the Union
army on behalf of the State of Maryland,
during the War of the Rebellion. There are
many colored men in this vicinity who
served in Maryland regiments, particularly
in the Fourth, which was composed of
American citizens of African descent"
This regiment was subsequently known as
the Fourth United States Regular Infantry,
which was inscribed on the roll of fame by
being thrown into the air by the military
volcano at Petersburg, Va.
Some pension claim agents have been
reaping harvest OF late from the survivors
by sending them circulars stating that they
are. under a Maryland law, entitled to
bounties, which can be secured by engaging
said agents to prosecute the claim at cost
of SIS to SO in each case. The act providing
for the payment of bounties is represented
to have been passed prior to August, 1868.
One of these veterans took the precaution to
applv to Mr.. Watson for information, and
he investigated. He finds the alleged claim
agents to be engaged in Ia bunko-steering
business.
Mr.. Watson wrote to the Mayor of Balti-
more for information, and he turned the
matter over to Adjutant General Howard,
at Annapolis. General Howard writes to
Mr.. Watson that tine act of the General As

Light Let Into the Scheme Of Getting n S25
Suit of Clothes for 81.


Charles Luther, charged with using the
mails for improper purposes, was given
preliminary hearing before United States
Commissioner McCandless yesterday after
noon. Luther represented himself as
Charles Luther & Co., of No. 165 Fifth ave-
nue., and sent circulars through the mails
stating that be would furnish $50 suit of
clothes for 81.
Detective Shore stated when he arrested
Luther the latter admitted sending circu-
lar and said he had made SIG out OF his
scheme. Inspector McAleese corroborated
the testimony of Shore. Attorney Robb
argued that the Government had made out no
case against Luther, because the envelope
containing the circular addressed to Busdid
had not been produced, and that there was
no evidence to show that the circular had
been sent to Busdid through the mails.
The hearing was adjourned until Tuesday.
