WAS'HIKOTON , November 4. The
atar route cases wore again called in
the criminal court this morning , nnd
the argument to quash the informa-
tioa filed by the government was pro
ceeded with. All the counsels were
present. George Bliss , of Now York ,
the government counsel , replied to
, , ' i the aigumont submitted by Mr. Wil-
' f son yesterday , in which ho denied the
' . ' , power of the government to proceed
' > by information. Mr. Miss claimed
' - ' that it was not unconstitutional , r.s ho
v .found the power ijivon in a statute as
' - \ early as 1700. The same statute was
1 - ' ' earned into the law of the laud in 1870.
'i ' ' . As for the charge that it was an unusual -
' ' ' - . usual mode of proceeding , ho f aid that
. - , h was the accepted practice in New
> . . -York , and had been recognized by
f -the courts nil > yor the country. Ft
2 lal boon recognized by congress , nud
f , ' > / ( a part of the law of the land. "Is
_ t is 'information infamous ? " "That
it ' > AJ')3 on nius. * k ° tested by the pun-
f - on nent which might be inllictcd.
' 'i his as 80 n ° M nv n' * > h authorities. "
'
S t tw ° " ien examined what crimes were
, . jiaamou8. Ho said that the
' " tlio1n nn'B ua committed crimes
-y tinjftj * ' jjid not como . under
fy-i- " " " ' " ' "the lieaiTof nif.imous crimes. Ho held
I * * a conspiracy to defraud was not an in-
if famous crime in the meaning of the
, constitution , and in support of this
i. N i position cited several authorities Ho
? , dwelt upon the moaning of infamous ,
holding that one muy be infamous and
at the same time without the palo of
the law , but the defendants were
within the law , hence the filing of the
information was proper. For crimes
that were infamous the indictments
must be presented by the grand jury.
Prom present indications the argu
ments in the star route cases are
likely to continue another week on
the motion to quash the indictments
nlonc. George Bliss continued his
argument in support of the informa
tion until after S > o'clock , and was fol
lowed by Col Bob Ingersoll , who ap-
jpeared for Mr. Brown. Ho took up
the information and went through it
to show , an ho aaid , how little ovi-
dcnco was to bo found in it. Said he :
"This information appears to Imvo
been found in this court by the at
torney general , and ho would say that
the attorney general had no standing
in this court. The government was
represented hero by the district at
torney. This information was filed
by the district attorney in partnership
with certain other gentlemen , and ho
doubted whether the district attorney
had any right to divide his responsi
bility. Ho read from the first count
of the information a section alleging
that Brady , Turner , French , McDon-
ough , and others corruptly conspired
I to defraud the government by procuring -
? ing unnecessary compensation and to
be paid for carrying the maila on certain -
tain routes , etc. The first objection
that ho made wan to the word "un
necessary , " It was for the depart
ment to say what was unnecessary.
It was not for the district attorney to
decide that question. Pleas must sot
\ forth accurately the facts , and not
I only charge tlmt it wan unlawful and
extravagant , but must also show why
} it was unlawful and extravagant.

ing the past year there has beei
much change in the character o :
United States bonds which nations
banks have on deposit to secure their
circulation. Owing to the redump
tion and continuation of the live and

The total amount of bonds held tor
the purpose of securing circulation 01

which Sl'JD.If'jfjUSO w.is in ( J vur
cent and 870,8 ( . 2t00 ! in 5 per cunt
bonds. On November 1st , 1880 , the
banks hold 850,005,150 of the (5 ( per
cents and $147,070,750 of the 5 pot
cents. On November 1st , 1881 , all
of those bonds held by the banks had
been called in , and with the exception
of 8758,500 had been redeemed or
extended at the r.ito of 3 | per cont.
The banks now hold 31,981ti50 ; of 4j

Hon. John W. Foster , in a letter to

November 1 , 1881 , tenders his resig
nation as envoy extraordinary and
plenipotentiary to llussia. Ho says
that in taking this stop it has not
been actuated by any dissatisfaction
with his present post , nor with diplo
matic service , but that , having
devoted nearly nine years past to the
government abroad , ho feels it to bu
an imperative necessity that he should
resume his residence in the United
States , and give attention to private
and family duties. Secretary IJIaine ,
in a letter dated Washington , D. C. ,
November It , 1881 , replying to the
above , says ho is convinced that the
step taken by Mr. Foster in obedience
to the dictates of privatp interest is
positive and final on his part. Ho
therefore accepts , in the nama of thu
president , the resignation tendered.
Mr. IJInino also expresses the deep

that ho carried deadly weapons ; that
he mysteriously disappeared after
Gold's death , nnd that some of the
'latter's property was found in his pos
session. Ho thought that thsse facts
made a very strong case against the
prisoner. If the defendant could ex
plain them ho should bo glad to have
him do so , but ho did not BOO how it
was possible. It is expected that his
trial will last several days.

To this invitation from Mr. Egun ,
Mr. Wendell Phillip * acnt the following -
ing reply :
Novombor2 , 1881.
DKAH Sin-I thank you most
heartily for the great honor you dome
mo by your invitation. I have not
the ability to aid Ireland in the strug-
gin ns much M your kindness makes
you think I have , but it isan honor to
any man to have olFtrod to him such n
miitsion. It is of the greatest import
ance that England should bo at once
defeated in her efforts to enslave -
slave Irolandi Her success would
ho an oclipsu of civilir.Ation , shedding
disastrous twilight on halt the na
tions. Wo have ft right to infur from
her insolence and' brutality in word
and act that ( ho seeks to provoke Ire
land to violence , and thus got an excuse -
cuso for the military occupation of
Ireland , It infinitely important
that Ireland should bo awake lo this
plot , and by scrono forbearance defeat -
feat it. At the sanio time it is equal
ly important , for the rniko of political
liberty , that Ireland , with a united
front and conr.tgo never to submit ,
should defend the citidi'l of personal
freedom ; civilization. Success is sure.
To doubt it in to doubt the world's
progress and the rule of a juat
Ood. As wo look back to
the very sad and dif graceful
close of the last century , to Lough-
borough , Eldon and North , wo sue
how history repents itself. Wo see
Gladstone falling into the pit where
the memory of those blundering uno-
mios of liberty were momentarily suc
cessful , but doomed , of course to
death. The unseemly cheers in tlui
house of commons whim D.ivitt wn.s
imprisoned , the heartless and coarse
shouts with which the news of Par-
iiell'ii arrest were he.ird at Guild
Hall , reminded onu of the sneers nnd
ridicule with which Lord Camden -
don met when ho defended
Hunker Hill before the House of
lords , buv oven Englishmen como an
worshiping pilgrims to Hunker Hill
to-day. But , gentlemen , the state of
my health has compelled mo to reluso
all invitations to address audiences
this winter , and this makes it impos
sible for mo to accept your invitation.
T can only help privati-ly , and by bid
ding you n most hearty Godspeed.
Yours cordially ,

IIIH VISIT TO XI'.W YOUK.
Nnw YOIIK , November 4. Presi
dent Arthur's visit to Now York has
occasioned some conmuinl nnd var
iis stories huvo uei'ii connected there
with. It him been u.iid , among other
thinus , thatliu had como for thu pur
pose of voting at the election next
Tuesday. Ao ho is not registered and
cannot vote , the , absurdity of this
stbry will bo , npparenir.Anplhor
reason given has pretty nearly tlia
whole truth contained in it. This us
ctibcrt to 1'reaident Arthur the deairo
to personally illuntrato the principle
ho haa always inaiatuil watt bent ii
active politicviz ) : That otlico hold
OIH ewe to their party a double duty
ono of activity a a citizen , the othe :
of activity an a partisan. The presi
dent hau never taken pains to conceal
his contempt for that claim o :
republicans who , having netured some
potation by reason of their conncclioi
\\itlt u prominent party , at once
Bellishly absolve themselves from all
obligations to that party , and en
deavor to cieato a system of cndor.su
mont under the name of record , llo
has always nniiiit.iined that no man
has a inoi ul right to support the party
unlos ho believes that the publiugoor
needs that party's support , and that
in that faith it is his duty to do u'l ' in
his power to aid his party. llo ia
willing to exemplify this doctrine oven
while occupying the presidency by
coming to Now York and personally
doing all in his powdr to aecuro the
ccuaM of tno ticket of the party thai
made him president. It may
bo stated positively that one
great reason why General Arthur
has como to the city at the present
time is that the state ticket at present
ncodft his help and ho has como to
give it. There can bu no doubt that
while the rank and file of the stal
warts are supporting the Htatp ticket ,
the leading stalwarts are quietly try
ing to defeat it by neglect , non-activi
ty and other means. President Ar
thur lmn been informed of all thm by
the ut.ito cuiitr.il committee , and has
no to New York for the oxpreps
purpose of bringing these stalwarts to
; orins. It in believed that hu will suc
ceed , although ho Mill incut with uoino
letermined opposition from Homo of

KKOKUK , Iowa , Novombisr 4. The
steamer War Eiiglo , ono of the largest
and finest crafts on the Mississippi
river , while proceeding down stream ,
struck the Iji idgo with terrific force ,
carrying awi y ono entire span of the
bridge and smashing in the wheel
house of the steamer. The boat was
crowded with panHcugers nnd a fright-
ul panic ensued. The officers were
utterly unable to control the terribly
excited passengers. Women screamed
ind the most fearful confusion
ensuod. One hundred men
eaped on thn bridge soon
ifter the boat struck , while
nuny passengers jumped into the
river. Eight are known to bodiownod
ind several are miesing. The total
OHS of lifo may reach twenty live.
After striking the bridge ono engine
w.ia dis-iblotl , and with the use of the
other engine the largo boat swung
around nnd finally undo a partial land
ing below the city , then drifted down
and sank in fifteen feet of water. The
Hteamer is a total wreck and the
freight on board ia a total wreck. The
War Eagle was insured against fire but
not against accident. The total loss will
bo ? 225,000. Thrco passengers arc
known to bo drowned , and fifty arc
mming. The boat struck mdowiso
with a most terrific crash. The crieu
of the affrighted pnasopgera were
heartrending , and such"wmUho panic
and confusion that fho officers of The
boat could do nothing to save the
frightened people or prevent tnem
from leaping into the water. The
steamer was trying to > nako a landing
nbovo the bridge nt the levee , when
si 10 became unmanageable , nud in the
swift current was carried against the
bridge broadside , crushing a great
hole in her side nnd carrying away
one whocl-honsrt nnd disabling ono
engine. The ECOIIU was terrible ,
and in the confusion it
is impossible to obtain the
lint of the passengers , or
oven the names of those drowned.
Upwards of fifty people are missing
although it is positively known that
only eight are drowned. The pas
sengers who leaped on the bridge
soon scattered to various parts of the
city and seme of thu missing ones may
yet turn up alivo.

Nn\V YOIIK , November 4Ttlo -
graphic reports to Uradstreet's from
'Hi cities received to-day show that
the lines of transportation cnst and
wuat acroBH the country huvo failed to
fruu tliuniaulvt's fiitirely fiotn tlio

fc hern due to thu enorinou.s incravao
in ( hipmunta. In spite , therefore , of
the fact that the general trade as a
whole hau not yet fully resumed ac
tivity , it is expected that between
now and thu close of the scn-
1011 tlio traffic of thu country will huvo
homo the appearance of being in e.v
H of that noted in any preceding
week. Dullness improved but little
it Chicigo. The roads and weather
n the region immediately tributary
: o that point are responmblo for this.
5trangu to say , tor the past week at
Loum moro goods huvo been re
ceived by the river route from toutti-
ern ports than have been shipped
T.tm St. Louis to those cities. This
n doubtlcBs duo to the extra exertions'
made at gulf ports to increase their

completed in Minnesota , and thrco
