THE RETRoCEss1oN QUESTION.
| The movement to secure such action by Con-
gress or the Attorney General as will lead to
suit against the state Of Virginia with such par
| ties as the court deemed necessary in Phillips
| agt PAYNE is strengthening on this side of the
river and will develop into action as soon as
| the next session of Congress gets to work. 1t
| is now said that the District Commissioners as
representatives OF the United States have
power to bring suit for this purposes. but this
| Is more than doubtful, as their authority is by
the organic net, limited to that portion of the
Distric: OF Columbia which comes from the
state Of Maryland.

shops.--Thc Good Templcrs realized 400 by

WAS IT A CONSPIRACY.
The General Term to Decide An Interesting
Question in Relation to q Strike.

The General Term to Decide An Interesting
Question in Relation to Strike.
In the Court in General Term. Judges Hag-
ner. Cox and Bradley, this morning the case of
United States against Henry Green and others
| (known as the hodcarriers' conspiracy case),
| was taken up. The case comes up on a motion
in arrest of judgment of the Criminal Court,
and Messrs. Ralston and Siddons appeared for
the defendants and Assistant District Attorney
c. H. Armes for the government
The motion in arrest is made on the grounds
| that the Indictment fails to set forth the crime
of conspiracy, and fails to set forth any otfense
either at common law OF under statute; that
IT fails to set forth concerted refusal of the
defendants to work for Howarth d Yates if
Frank Cook should continue in their employ
and says in consequence that Cook was dis
charged, but fails to charge the use Of any I'M
lawful means to secure Cooks discharge or the
violating of any law.
CLAIM THAT THE INDICTMENT rs DEFECTIVE.
The defendants quote the charge that Green
and others "unlawfully and wickedly did con-
spire, combine, confederate and agree together
among themselves to quit, leave and TORN out
from their said employment until and unless
| the said Frank Cook should be dismissed from
hi; said employment by the said James H.
HoWarth and Thomas Yates, partners as afore-
said
| confederating for the purpose of expressing
Cook, Howarth and Yates, nor for the purpose
of interfering with trade. They main tain that
| combinations of the nature described in the i'll
dictment are never held to be criminal unless
there is present either violence, fraud intimida-
ton or some similar unlawful element
THE RESPONSE.
Mr.. Armes says in his response thatthe claim
of the defendants briefly is that it is not unlaw-
full for workmen to conspire and combine to
quit work unless a co-workman be discharged,
as means Of compelling their employer 20 dis
miss said workman. He submits the contrary.
that such a combination is a criminal CON
spiracy, and that to cOerce an employer. by
means of u conspiracy, to dismiss an employee,
is such dictation and unwarrantable interfer-
ence with his business and oppressive and
unjust as to be unlawful and punishable by in
dictment, whether the means used be q combi-
nation to accomplish the purpose by words or
to indulge in demonstration by numbers of
employes-that every combined attempt by
force, threat or intimidation to deter or con-
! troll an employer in the determination of whom
he will employ or discharge is an act OF wrong
| and oppression; and any and every combina-
| ton for such purpose is an unlawful con-
spiracy.
He maintains that in order to render the
Offense complete there il no occasion that any
act should be done in pursuance of the unlaw-
full agreement entered into between the par
ties.

A FIREPROOF BUILDING.

Corps.

1t il Needed for Officers of the Marine
Corps.
Col. C. d. Hebb, commanding the marine
corps, in his report to the Secretary of the
Navy, remarks as follows in regard to the Wash
ington marine barracks:
Il earnestly call the attention Of the depart
ment to the necessity for the erection at these
headquarters Of suitable fireproof building
for use as offices of the commandment and staff,
the one now in use being small frame
structure without vaults or other means of pro-
lection against fire. There are many valuable
papers contained therein, the destruction of
which would greatly embarrass the govern
ment in the settlement of the accounts OF
officers and enlisted men, as well as obtaining
evidence Of services necessary in pension
cases.n

Judge Miller remarked that more than 100

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
1t is hoped that the citizens Of Georgetown
and Washington will take proper steps at the
coming session to get Congress to tunnel Rock
creek from Lyons mill to the Potomac river
The creek from the mill down has become an
open. offensive sewer, which undoubtedly
breeds and spreads disease for squares around
in the summer and fall season. am satisfied
that if proper effort is made our lawmakers
can be made to realize the importance of abat-
ing this nuisance, which, besides being an eye
sore, is dangerous to the health of our citizens.

Some Things Well To Remember.

A number of things trouble good
but depressed Journal sister, which
she tells me in her letter. Now, let
me tell you in return, my well-inten-
toned reader, just what is the secret
of your unhapiness. There are some
things in this world we should always
remember, and some which it would
be wise to forget. Let me tell you
what l think these things are, and
then see whether you have not mixed
them up little.
For example, among the things
which it is always we'll to remember,
is that in saying things against any
religion, you are not only guilty of
bad taste, but you do not know whose
feelings you may hurt.
1t is good to remember that many
words and loud voice never consti-
tuted conversation.
That the elaborate dress bought
last spring should be lesson to you,
and that this year you will choose a
quieter one, better suited to day time
wear and to your position in life.
That your own children are not
swans, nor your neighbors' children
ugly ducklings.
That the long lane which has no
turning is to be compared to that one
which says, "The darkest hour is just
before dawn
That virtue is not alone peculiar
to your own family and friends, but
that there are good people with whom
you have not even bowling acquaint-
ance.
1t is also good to remember just
what the surroundings were when
you formed such decided opinions,
and to think little bit before you ex-
press them.
Remember, too, the beginning of
most things in this life, and then
your judgments are apt to be more
true and greater to your own credit.
Also, that evil spoken of another
woman is always set down to envy.
But it is best of all to remember
that the unkind word left unspoken,
the unkind look averted, the unkind
manner changed to one of sweetness
and dinnifu a 20 nouor nnnno4Aod
