DANIEL U. SCOTT RELEASED.
PurIoining Decoy Letters Is Not
Stealing From the Government.

PurIoining Decoy Letters Is Not
Stealing From the Government.
Daniel L. Scott, who was charged in
Criminal Court No. with the larceny OF
the property of the United States. was yes
terday acquitted by the jury which had
heard the testimony against him, on the
instruction of Justice Bradley, who pre-
sided at the hearing.
Scott was formerly employed as a copy
list in the Patent Office and it was part of
his duty TO receive and distribute the reg
istered mail which came to that depart
ment After several packages containing
money had been missed by the officials in
the Patent Office suspicion attached 10
Scott, and he was watched. Decoy letters
were sent TO the Office by the postoffce in
spectors and in this way it is alleged the
crime was fastened on the defendant.
The case was called for trial last Fri
day, and when the Government had con-
cluded its case counsel for the defendant,
Messrs. C. Maurice Smith and J. b. Arch
er, entered a demurrer to the evidence,
first, because the property alleged to have
been stolen was not that of the United
States, and. second because if any money
was taken the crime for which the prisoner
should be tried is embezZlement, and not
larceny.
The jury was respited and Justice Brad
ley heard argument on these questions on
Saturday, and yesterday he announced his
decision.
The opinion OF the court was, in brief to
the effect that the money alleged TO have
been stolen by Scott was the property of
the postoffice inspectors who circulated the
decoy letters and not that of the United
States as charged in the Indictment The
decision of Justice Bradley opens up new
theory of law. There are thousands of
persons now serving terms In prison who
were convicted under the United States
laws for stealing the contents from decoy
letters The decision establishes prece-
dent which may put a stop to the appre-
hension of dishonest mail clerks and others
who handle the mail through the agency of
decoy letters. unless the money enclosed
in them is the property of the United States
and not that of postofiice inspectors or
other private individuals.
In accordance with this ruling the jury
returned a verdict of not guilty against
Scott and he was discharged.

GRANT AND SUMNER.

I have always lamented, in common with all the friends and lovers of both these great men, that they should have so misunderstood each other; yet it was not unnatural. They were both honest, fearless, patriotic, and brave. Yet never were two honest, fearless pa triotic, and brave men so unlike each other. The training, the mental char acteristics, the field of service, the ca pacities, the virtues, the foibles of each tended to make him underestimate and misunderstood the other. The man of war and the man of peace; the man whose duty it was to win battles and conduct campaigns, and the man who trusted to the prevalence of ideas in q remote future; the man who Wielded executive power, and the man who in a fierce contest with executive power had sought to extend the privileges
 power, and authority of the senate; the man who adhered tenaciously to his friends through good and evil report, and the man whose friendships were such that evil report of personal dis honor never dared assail them the man of little taste for letters, and the man of vast and varied learning; the man

The work was long and arduous, but success finally came, and now the costly little section is in place, surfaced and ballasted and officials say all dan ger of more disaster is past.
 The original intention was to make Allyns Point the terminus of the Sound steamboat line. but the plan of making this landing for passenger boats at all seasons was not expedent. The line of the new roadway has a varied back ground of hill and valley, meadow and wood. It will provide an unobstructed view of the Harvard annual boat races on the Thames. It is constructed for double track, if ever required, and with the necessary arrangements for third" rail- with which some divisions of the Consolidated road are equipped.
