TUB STAR ROUTE JURY. The department of justice to-day made public the first part of the re port of special counsel , II. II. Wolla , appointed to aid in the trial of certain criminal ofiunaoa alleged to have been committed in the progress of the re- cunt trial of the otar route cases BO cjllud. Wolh aaya : The ntlidavits show , if they uro to bo believed , that membcra of the jury were offered bribes in money for their votes , which thny listened to nnd considered with the persons thus attempting to do- biuch them , and these solicitations , it is alleged , proceeded as well from agents of the government as from agents of persona on tml ; but I as sume it can make no difference whose agents made the disgraceful proposa1 ? , nnd that condign punishment uhcmld Fall upon all guilty parties. The case ot Juror Edwin A. Doniphau is first considered , [ t appeara before tbo jury was sworn ono Frederick E Shaw , member of , ho regular panel , aaid to Duniphan ie would like to got "on this caoe , " ind having bctm peremptorily olul- onged by Merrick foe the United S rates , ho abused Morrick. From the iffidavit of James Leonard it appears mmodiatoly after Shaw had toatilidd .hat ho waa an impartial juror and had 30011 rejected , ho said , "Oh , well , damn it , they will never convict them anyhow. If I was on there [ would hang out until hell iroza over before they should bo convicted. " At another time later 10 said he "would do anythinij in the world to aavo Doraoy. " Shiw said to Domphan , "Look here , I'vo got a damned good thing for you , and I will make a little mysolftao. I have got money in my pocket to give you i you will favor S. W. Doraoy. I [ lave two or three hundred dollars I can give you now and will make it a thousand within ton days. " Juror Wm. K. Brown makes aQi lavit ho was approached on the part of the government and off rid $2,600. "Tho man , " aaya Brown , "was a member of my lodge. I believe he did not know what he waa doing. His nnmo was Arthur Payne ( colored ) He brought mo an agreement. Ho must have thought I was a damned fool , I said , who sent you to me I would like to ECU the man. Ho aaid his name was Fall , As eoon as ho said that I was confident they did not intend to give mo any money but just to see what I would say. I drove him away. Ho said he wan to i to convict Brady and Dorsey , any of them It was my opinion ho was putting up a job on me. When Brown road the agreement ho was to oign ho said to Payne , "I am going according to the 'evidence. Full is a damned rascal , and you can both go to hell. " \Vojla sa > a it is apparent from the whole history of the alleged attumpt upon Brown's virtue , it was not done with the knowledge , in bahalf or in the interest of the prosecution ; that its guilty authors were neither agents nor acted with the knowledge or ap proval of any officer of the department of justioa , and it was a carefully pre pared conspiracy against the adminis tration of justice. The prosecution of Fall , Ptiyno , Thomas and Foote and others not named , is recommend ed for attempting to corrupt Brown. The originals of the aflidavits pub lished by Col , Ingersoll uro asked to iuauro Rucce sful prosecution , DANKNUOWKH'H MTOUY.

UOMEHTEAI ) ENTRIES ON LAND OHANTfl , The secretary of the interior haa made a decision in the case of Winzoll vs. the St. Paul , Minneapolis & Man itoba railway company , construing the third section of the act of April 21 , 1870 , which declared valid the homo stoAil and prc-ointion entries witliit the limits of ex .roJ r.-ulroai grant ? that may have been made at n tlnu subsequent to the expiration cf the cranls.
