rOLITICAL CONDITION OF MIANCK.
LONDON , November 20. Franco ia
disturbed ui every fibre of its social
atruoturo , and there is grave uneasi
ness among the beatjrieuda of the ro-
public. The last vestige of confidence
in the present government haa disap
peared , but another which shall bo any
better 13 not immediately in view.
The titua'nu is particularly unfortu
nate. Chimerical * government , railroad -
, road speculation , the disgraroful con
dition of the fiuaucea , M. Firard'o
.mistake of one hundred millions in
tila report , followed now by M.
.Horisaon'a miatako of two thou
sand milliona 'in ' public works ,
the failure of 'the crops , and
vintages , the collapse of the foreign
policy , the condition and temper of
the perking classes , dangerous fan
aticism of rho anti-clerical party , in-
tricjuea and conupiraciea of the Bona-
-partlata and legitomista and thu c-x-
traordinary oncrgy of -annrchiatB
and PociuliaU all thcBo things have
plunged the country into an unhap
py turmoil from ouo end to the
other. IParia ia at fever heat ; and
some now and stirring developments
fn the political situation cannot bo
much longer deferred. England
vratchoi the progress of affairs with
profound attention , but with too
-Jisch akopticiam as to the future of
the republic.

iave boon-very prominent during the
week , both in and out of parliament.
Parnoll'o'careful study of the now rule
has enabled him to be ono of the ear
liest to turn them to practical use.
The discmcion-on the arrears aot was
. of the greatest value and waa most
" \adroifcly introduced , and it was ielt
X when Parnell abandoned his mo-
iion that the subject had boon
jprooonted > to the house in
no spirit of partisanship or
obstruction , but on its plain merits aa
a government question requiring con-
fllderation for reasons of absolute
urgency. The statements of the Irish
members made it very-clear that the
coming winter will bo fraught with
fearful hardships for the Irish peas
antry. Never cinco 1840 has the outlook -
look > boon so bad in the west , or the
.prospect of adequate relief ao hope-
leaa. The immense number of people
who are without shelter by reason of
wholesale evictions makea the situa
tion worao.than over before. Already
iho country presents perhaps the aad-
deat spectacle that in all ita aad his
tory it has known.
Mr. Trevelyan'i able speech on
Thursday raakos the best caao possible
for the arreura act , but it ia certain
that the nct'lmu ' noi answered the ex
pectations of ! either ministers or Par-
nelitea. The prospect is nevertheless
impcovingiiii Ireland , where the Joyce
conrictioua and decrease of outrages
indic.Uu a return of the reizn rf lew.
Mr.JUrnoll intnnda to renew the si-
tatiouan parluvinent , in spite of Mr.
Gladntooo'o.rafuaal . to introduce a now
arrears Act.
All iudicutiona now point to en ad-
journnieat of parliament in ton days
or a fortnight , most everybody fceiug
tired of the preaent session , and itcnay
be said , cod not without cause , that
the government has ibeon suddenly
awakened by the discovery thstiho
new rules forihe pioper aubordination
.of parliament can bo easily brought to
.naught , aah&z boendhown by the fact
that two wotions for adjournment
were mudo duriog the patt ureok and
fo nd the neceaiary tupport. It haa
thai been pro rod already that if the
hence is not willing to be gagged no
minister will lx > able to put a gag i
jta month.
It ia once moro whispered in p-
Zitical osd social drclca likely to ba

and unless ho changes his mind
'onca n iin , tnd jpu know how often
ho hao changed at in the poet , the
premier will withdraw from publio
life before another session of parlia
ment opens , baheving that thu is a
very good time at which to rhako
aif the rosponaibilitiea of office. The
mlicala did not dwo to go on with
out him iu the campaign
for cloture , which m v sure , however -
over , with the awimilatioi ; of the suf

tjrlcs in next , indeed in all future
parliaments , but now that they have
plain sailing before them and thai
they enjoy the oamo prestige which
their opponnnU could boast after the
treaty of Berlin , ihey would not bo
sorry to BOO him take himself off the

say with confidence , nre inrroadng
that Gladstone's lotiromtmt from pub

Much comment haa been made in
financial circles upon the erratic course
of the Now Yoik stock market , which
passes orecybady'a comprehension , al

being from Now \ork , and our other
journals profess thomaolvcs unable to
ace any canso for the great fall o !
prices lately , and ndviao ceuuiup in

It cannot , however , bo denied thac for

The famous Nebraska fitar ronto
trials have been ended in the acquit
tal of Corbln and Iddings , nnd n com
promise with Olary , the ox-postmaster
at Sidney , by which ho gota off with a
fine of $500. After all the great
blow about the fearful fraudo com
mitted and the dire vengeance to bo
muted out by the government upon
the heads of the ofiondors , the nbovo
is the result. After the matter had
been patched up the opposing councol ,
aud everything cut and dried , Judge
Duudy said :
"I understand this result to have
boon brought by agreement between
the counsel for the respective partior ,
and hi view of all the circumstances
I think both sidca have acted wisely.
Whatever may bo thought of the sen
tence to bj pronounced , I fool that
the defendant haa already boon fully
punished for anything ho ha < > dono.
Ho has boon subjected to the coats
und vexatious of n long litigation ,
and has probably lost the value of his
time , besides the mental suffering ono
necessarily undergoes while lying un
der n criminal charge.
"This caao has once been tried , and
after a fair and impartial trial of moro
than a week , the jury were unable to
agrco , there being , ua popularly re
ported , a majority in favor of the de
fendant. Having heard thnt trial ,
and bearing in mind the fact that the
recollections of the witnesses were
fresher than they would bo again , I
have alwnya doubted , and still doubt ,
that the defendant could bo convicted
upon a now trial. Indeed , it Booms
extremely probable that another trial
would cither result in another disa
greement or an acquittal.
"Whilo it ia understood that the
court was not a party to the agree
ment of counsel , and no assurance
given that such na arrangement would
bo curried out , yet in view of all the
facts I think the agreement a wise
ono for all parties , and shall act in ac
cordance with it. By it the govern
ment saves the doubtful issue of an
other trial and the defendant saves
the great expenses and anxieties ho
would suffer in any event. " g

DKl'AtlTStENT OK JUSTICE. \
WAHUINOTON , Nov 24 , J
To the President ot the United States
SIR : The letter of George Blias ,
counsel for the United Slates in the
atar route trials , uddrostud to you ,
dated November 11 , 1882 , referred to
me by your order , haa been carefully
considered. The facts set forth iu it
are not now to mo. From coiuldora-
tlon of legal aa well aa official policy ,
I have thus far abstained from calling
your attention to these matters. I
am much bettor satisfied that Bliss ,
aelint * aa counsel iu the caao , of his
own motion has aubmittcd to you the
subjects therein dealt with. Since I
received the letter Merrick and Kor ,
colleagues of Bliea , called upon mo
and invited my attention to the nub-
ject in the same manner that Bliaa
nas in the letter written by him to
you. It ia my opinion that thu ends
of justice have been interfered with
by the persona complained of by Mcr-
riolc , Bliss and Korr.
The marshal of the diatrict U ro-
oponsiblo for much of the opposing
Bontlment to the case of the payern-
mont that waa exhibited in oour llur-
inn the trial of the ctar routd pise.
His negligent and irregular fcolduot
in selecting talesmen 1 stoutly , ob
jected to at the tirno. and BO infornaed
him. I recommend hia Immediate .re
moval. Ho is an unsuitable" parson ,
and haa injuriously interfered vwitlV
the proper conduct of the atat jrduto
caseandhas.given bin p6i * ! gXf''Pl
pathy and the Bympstiy' ) * wf'oflico
to atar route defendants.
D. B. Ainger.poBtinastorin this city ,
and hia asoUtant , Myron M. Porker ,
arc justly subject to all the charges
presented by Bliss , and I think they
should be removed. No mon holdinu
publio appointments should bo per
mitted to use the power and influence
of their ponitions aa they have uoed
them , or be permitted to interfere
with auch prosecution or any prosecu
tion urged by the government iu vin
dication of law.
The man Hnlm , recently appointed
to the head of ono of the depart
ments in the publio printing office ,
is by law incapable of .hiding that
office , inasmuch as ho controls publio
newspapers , but I will further add
that thu paper he-controls is a paper
notoriously and confessedly owned by
one ot the defendants. Ho is the
most culpable of all since it was by
hia official criminal malfoasuuco that
corrupt orders were mndo and frauds
successfully perpetrated. His _ paper
has been engaged f com the beginning
of these prosecutions down to the dis
charge of the jury in the most violent
ojbuso of all wno wore supposed to be
interested in bringing the defendants
'to justlci The judge was not oven
Spared.tho counsel were persistently
olandijrod , ami witnesses openly as-
anultbd , denounced and terrorized by
'o'no.continuous current of peruonat
abuseaud calumny. I am of the
opinion that this man should be removed
moved , and I am astonished that those
who have charge of thu public print
ing with the knowledge of these facts
ahould venture to appoint him , Ho
is no ) , a man to bo trusted in the ro-
eponsiblo position he holds.
In conjunction with Bliss I respect
fully call your attention to the con
duct of George E , Spencer , .Upon
the day of your departure from thia
city , Immediately after the adjourn
ment of congress , a communication by
Bliss end other counsels in the cauoa
was sent through me with your com
plaint against George K. Spencer.
Those papora did not reach yon at
that time , This was during the latter
weeks of the trial ; in fact , the evi
dence had closed and counsel were addressing -
dressing the jury , Those papers are
now before you , Bliss , by ills letter ,
which you have referred to me , called
your attention to them. By them it
appears that George K. Spencer is a
delinquent and absconding witness ;
that ho testified to material and
important facts , aud that ho loft
thia city and has ever since accreted
himeolf and avoided the process of
law. He holds an important public
position , and ia the last man who
ahould hesitate to be preeent in cpurt
to testify in a ease of magnitude , and
in which the honor of the govern-
ipurif'uml Administration of public
juat/oo is concerned , and because of
hia censurable delinquency I unite
with BlUa aud the other countol in
the case in asking his immediate re
moval ,
Gee , 0. Miller , ono of the policeof
the district , ia the recent judicial in
quiry , with the audacity of a criminal ,
confewed"undcryoath that ho had been
engaged and retained in the service of
the defendants in the ttar route c.-vsb ,
nnd had porsUlentlv nsilstod them
during Ilia trial. 1 localise of this
confusion made by him' , I applied to
the commissioners of Ihin district to
remove him. That rcmornl haa tnkon
pUce , After serious nnd nrolonqod
deliberation over alt the detail * of
the the OMO , my investigation * luvo
satisfied mo that the men who
were indiolod were guilty men , and
merited the extreme puniihment of
the law. They had projected under
cover of official power , and under the
color of official authority , a systematic
plan ot doliboratc robbery of the pub
lic troaiury ; to carry ont that plan
thuy had laid their hands upon n fund
dedicated by law to n great publio per-
vice a norvicothat ia conspicuously
ono ot the fruits and causoa of our
civilisation , our social comfort , our
commercial prosperity , our national
growth. Millions of that money they
perverted to their own private gain
and divided It for their own personal
purposes. It was the condign act of
an infamous conspiracy and deserves
the severest punishment the law can
inflict. Such men are traitors to so
cial and official duly , and they are
publio enemies against whom the au
thority of the law must bo cxortod
without hesitation or reluctance , The
higher their past position the greater
their siu and nterner must bo their
punishment.
I dcoiro to call your attention to the
fact that officers of the law and those
who havu boon directly aiding mo in
the discharge ) of my duty in this buti-
ness have boon from the first encircled
with urmroB , pitfalls and every species
of vile device that could bo invented
to harm them , hinder their usefulness
and prevent the administration of jus
tice. Sotno portions of this commu
nity who surround those defendants ,
and who nnjuyod , or do ntill enjoy
minor cllicuil positions , know no
ulloplatico to nny ono but this
band of robbery , nnd render no ser
vice to any ono but these evil employ-
on , from motives of gain or other cor
rupt considerations. They are satu
rated with affinities to thoeo bad men ,
they IIM o contributed by every moans
in their power at the bidding of their
masters to obstruct publio justice and
bo defame id officora , with the hope
of scouring acquittal aud escape of the
worst band of organized scoundrels that
over existed since the commonoemont
of the government.

downright meanness to ever amount

efforts to override the most common
lawn of decency have boon mot by n
stern rebuke by Judge Wylio oanb

bravado In court. Judge \Yylio in
a stern old Virginian , an incorruptible

CmoAno , November 20. Oolonol
Ingcrsoll , of couueol in the star route
cases , said in an interview on the
nubjoct of Saturday's dismissals by
Prcaidont Arthur : "It ia effort on the
part of the government to terrorize
the jury. I believe Marshal Hunry
ia as honest a man as over lived. Ho
never did the slightest favor for the
defendants ; ho dimply did hia duty-
no more , no losa. The reason why
they want him out is that they raitj
ut oomo ono in who will do more that
absolute ' 'control of the 'jury , j
never dreamed Aingor or Parkei
were cither friends or enemies of the
defendants. Those mon have boot
cut down without a ho&ring. Nothing
more unjust , nothing moro infamout
has over boon done in the history of
the country. The idea that a citizen
and officer cannot give his opinion of
the innocence of a party buit. proae-
outod by the government without re
moval is simply horrible. Their idea
is that every officer ia a dog thnt can
bo hissed on by the attorney general.
The doctrine is tco contemptible to
find lodgement in the brain of any de
cent man. I have not read the lottoru
of Attorney General Browstor
and Mr. Bliss , and do noi
Intend to. I know there
is not a word of truth
In them , and I don't care to take up
my time in reading what is not DO. It
has boon talked that the marshal
would bo removed and that everybody
who does not think Brunstor the most
wonderful of men would follow him.
I bcliovo Henry , Aingor and Parker
were removed becauao thuy are honest
mon. The department of justice has
grown deaporato since ita paid agents
wore convicted of trying to bribe the
jury. If the next jury acquitu , and
it never will convict , I presume Brown-
tor will want all the jury convicted of
conspiracy to acquit. He wants to
scare this ono , that' * nil t Vpn-w
nothing about Spencer und Helm , except
copt that Spencer ia a government
witness. It is oimply infarnoun to re
move mon without a hearing nnd put
n stnim on them by oxputto lottont , "

Mr. J. Sterling Morton , member of
the editorial staff ot The Chicago
Times presents his viona of the com-
DOtiatoriat contest \n Nebraska in
his usual torso style through the fol
lowing letter :
CITY , Neb. } November
23 Immediately after the political
oyolono that nwcpt across the conti
nent from the Atlantic to the Pacific
on the ? th of November , the republi
can brethren of thia atato claimed
everything , but , aa the vote begun to
oomo in , it brcamo apparent that thu
damocratu lud elected state treasurer
regent of the university , end had
tut down the usual majorities of the
dominant party to loss than one half
that it usually is , and by oombinmg
with the anti-monopoly party would
IIQ.YO a majority of at least five in the
legislature on joint ballot. A great
many of the antia wore , of course ,
formerly republicans , but have become
tired of being led up to the slaughter
by the machine managers , and now
propose to vote and act independent
ly. The great * work of the majority
of republican luihim auttiu to oe to
keep buforo thu granger numbers
the absurd Idea that ( ho demo
crats would pluco 8100.000 iu Nebras
ka to olcoi a Uni od Statca ntiutor in
phoo ot Aivin Suundura. Now a careful -
ful oxaraiuation of the books of the
treasurer of the democratic atato cen
tral committco shows that in the last
five yenro thcro has been leaa than
$200 , all told , in said committee's
lumda. The i xponars of all campaigna
iu Nebrnikn have been principally
borne by a , few loading men of the
p rly. The object of this outcry
about democratic money io to sharpen
the appetites of thoseof their own
party who , they well know , will vote
for the man that aoea them laat , Thorn
has already been a pool formed in
Omaha In the interest of Joseph H >
Millard , the Union Pacific candidate.
Ono hundred thousand dollars , it is
said , will bo spnnt iiv hla interest ? ,
and moro if nr.coaoary. Hon. David
Butler , the first governor of Nobraa-
kn , ia an avowed candidate , aud will
be remembered as being impeached by
bin own party for his careless way of
using the state money. Ho will
bo a member of the senate ,
having beaten the tegular republican
nominee. Hon. Divid claims that ho
jyill got the solid anti-monopoly vote ,
aVwpll oa quite a sprinkle of demo-
' ' ntt straight republicans , but.aT

veracity , his 'figurea "are oobsiddrably-
donbtQdJVeBpecially in thia part of thu <
state. Hbn. J. Sterling Morton , of
this city , wl ) probably receive thu
solid domocratio vote , and if the anti-
monopolists know who tucir re&l
friondu are , they will give him thoiru ,
for if ho Is not an anti-monopolist ,
then wo have none in 'the state.
Thcro ia another reason why Mr.
Morton ahould be sent to the senate ,
and that la : Wo do not want a man
at Washington who will fill the pl&co
of a third-rate republican , aa him been
our lot over ninco Nebraska was u ,
state. Wo want Mr. Morton there ,
because ho would immediately take a
front rank in the councils of the nu-
tiou , and would reflect credit up 111
this great and growing state.
