Appearance of the Star Route Ring in Court.
News and Courier.
WASHINGTON, October 4.-There
was a good deal of interest in the
courts to-day, the grand jury com
pleting their examinatioe and finding
a presentment in the assassination
case, while the Criminal court room
was the theatre of another denionstra
tion of the Star Route jobbers. In
accordance with the expectation of the
prosecution expressed in court yester
_ day the defendants in the recent in
formation made their appearances with
a motion to quash. There was a for
- widable array of defendants, counsel
and prospective bondsmen, which filed
into'the court-room at an early hour.
attracting general attention. First
came Messrs. J. L. French and W. IT.
Turner, former clerks in the contract
office of the postoffice department, and
who are included in the information
as to the conspiracy in route No. 40,
101. After the dismissed and dis
-graced officials of the smaller denomi
nation came the "Boss," Thomas J.
Brady.. The latter was the cynosure
of all eyes, especially of the prisoners
in the dock in the case under consid
-eration. They doubtless felt mean in
=the presence of such royal thieves.
Brady was accompanied by S. P.
Brown, his co-conspirator. They were
_followed by Col. Bob Ingersoll, who
will attempt to prove there is no hell
--for S. P. Brown, and that the whole
business is only a mistake of Moses.
There were the Hon. Joe Wilson and
Enoch Totten, both eminent lawyers,
and Chanler, and there was the Hon.
J. Hale Sypher, an eminent cipher.
Behind these came Hallet Kilbourn
and other distinguished gentlemen,
who were there in the character of
possible bondsmen.
Altogether it was a goodly sight,
this remarkable assembly, and might
have been very impressive to a jury
Opposed to this array of criminals,
legal lore and hard cash, were the
bent form, gray hairs and knock
knees of Col. Billy Cook. The latter
was fully equal to the situation
-and contemplated the crowd with a
cynical smile. When Mr. Totten
annaanced that they had come there
for the purpose of entering a motion
to quash and fix a day for the argu
ment, Col. Cook got on his wiry
legs and demanded -that the defence
comply with the law and furnish
* bail.
Then the side issue of bail was
taken up, Jere Wilson and Col. lInger
sol! going into the merits of the in
formation at some length. Every
time this was done Col. Cook brought
them back to the point at issue, and
sarcastically insinuated that the
quickest way to reach the issue was to
comply with the law and furnish bail.
When the case came up the Govern
ment would soon show whether it had
evidence or not to sustain the counts
in the information. When the wran
gle closed the case was left just where
it began, the motion to quash was not
- entered, the -Judge desiring a day to
look over the'information so he could
determine the amount of bail, after
furnishing which the defence can file
their motion.
So "Little Billy" Cook, as the Ring
sters call him, won the first skirmish
in the Court. Brady & Co. gave their
j~roal recognizance to appear in
Court to-morrow morning.
-Some weeks ago we took the ground
that the advocates of prohibition
would. damage the cause of temperance
in South Carolina if they did not cease
to press their movement. The result in
North Carolina is proving the correct
*ness of this position, for some time
before the election in that State on
prohibition, by which the movement
*was defeated by more than a hundred
thousand majority, the city of Char
lotte elected a dry ticket and refused
to grant licenses. Now that the fight
*ha been made and lost in the State,
the city council of Charlotte has re
considered its action and decided to
grant licenses for the sale of spirituous
liquors as heretofore. This should be
a lesson to the ultra prohibitionists in
this State. They had better let well
enough alone.

A PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE.
The Herald is in the highest respect a Fan

terests of the people of this County and the
State. It circulates extensively, and as in

Guitean's Confession.
The New York Herald prints a
long confession from the assassin
Guiteau. The narrative begins with
the presidential campaign. Guiteau
was very anxious to be sent out as
one of the campaign speakers, and
hung around the Republican head
quarters in New York, besieging
the committee for week after week.
One speech,entitled Garfield against
Hancock, he thought was a remark
able performance. This he had
printed, but got no opportunity to
deliver it except to a colored meet
ing in New York. After Garfield's
election he went to Washington
and sent in his application for the
Austrian mission, accompanying
his application - with his great
speech. He wrote numerous notes
and letters to the President and to 5
Secretary Blaine. Finding he could
not get the Austrian Mission he
applied for the Paris Consulship.
While this application was pending,
he being sanguine of the appoint
ment, it sudder ly occurred to him
that the President must be "re
moved ;" that it was necessary for
the preservation of the country and
the Republican party ; that if the
President were out of the way the
party would become nited ; other
wise the government would fall
into the hands of the "rebels and
Democrats." This impression kept
growing upon him till he felt him
self impelled by divine authority to
remove the President. He thus
describes his conception of the
deed:
My conception of the idea of re
moving the Presidcnt was this :Mr.
Conkling resigned on Monday, May
16, 1881. On the following Wed
nesday I was in bed. I think I re
tired about 8 o'clock. I felt 'de- 1
pressed and perplexed on account of t
the political situation, and I retired
much earlier than usual. I felt
wearied in mind and body, and I was
in my bed about 9 o'clock, and I was
thinking over the political situation, y
and the ider. flashed through my
brain that if the President was out of
the way everything would go better.
At first this was a mere impression.
It startled me with renewed force, and g
I began to read the papers with my g
eye on the possibility that the Presi- m,
dent would have to go; and the more
I read, the more I saw the complica
tion of public affairs, the more was I
impressed with the necessity of re
moving him.p
This thing continued for about two
weeks. I kept reading the papers A
and kept being impressed, and the
idea kept bearing and bearing and
bearing down upon me fhat the only
way to unite the two factions of the
Republican party and save the repub- c
lic from going into the hands of the 1;
rebels and Democrats was to quietly t1
remove the President. ti
He then proceeds to recount the b
attempts to carry out his purpose. l(
He went to the Christian Church .
on Sunday and saw that the Presi- a
ent sat by a window. He made
up his mind to come back the next
Sunday and shoot him there ; but C
e learned in a day or two that the te
President was going to Long pi
Branch with Mrs. Garfield. al
He went to the depot for the w~
urpose of "removing" the Presi
lent. He gives as his reason for
iot killing him then that "Mrs.
arfield looked so thin and clung
o his arm so tenderly that I did
ot have the heart to fire on him." h
Knowing when the President
vould return from Long Branch
e went again to the depot for the S
>urpose of killing him. It was a V
ot, sultry day. While waiting in fc
~he ladies' room he says, "I thought 01
t all over and made up my mind fi'
hat I would not fire that day. I
id not feel like it" ec
He next followed the President a
rhile out riding with his son and
~nother gentleman, but did not get ti;
chance to shoot.
He next followed him as he went o
lone to Mr. Blaine's house ; he
raited in the alley for the President S4
o>pass by on his return ; but when is
e returned Mr. Blaine was with an
Lm. ml
Next was the successful attempt
t the depot July 2nd.

The amount of frand and rascli
y that is being unearthed and
>rought to light in the various de
>artments at Washington is stu- 1
)endous.
Only a few weeks ago Capt. How
;ate. of the Signal Service Office.
was detected in embezzlements to
imo extent of nearly S100,000.
Thos. J. Brady, who was First
tssistant Postmaster General under
layes. is now on trial with several
>thers for defrauding the govern
neut out of millions by fraudulent
:ontracts in connection with the
star Route mail service.
John Sherman, Hayes' Secretary
)f the Treasury. is charged with
aving got immensely rich out of
iis salary. Astounding revelations
ire promised soon in connection
vith the Treasury Department.
The latest development of rascal
ty is in connection with the Pen
;ion Office. A ring of clerks in
his office, aided by outsiders, have
ucceeded, by means of forged
!]aims, in swindling the govern
nent out of millions of dollars.
)ne of the clerks named Geo. W.
Black has been caught up with.
'he detectives claim to be in pos.
ession of some startling facts that
vill be made public soon.
The whole system of c:vil service,
,eems to be permeated with rotten
less.
The death of President Garfield
lid not stop the hostility between
;he "Stalwarts" and "Half Breeds"
.n tbe State of New York. This
vas the issue in electing their dele
rates to the recent State Conven
ion. In Conkling's own County,
Utica, the contest for delegates was
very close ; the two factions held
;eparate meetings and elected a
lifferent set of delegates, the Stal
varts being headed by ex-LT. S.
senator Conkling, and the Half
Breeds, or Garfield Republicans, by
?x-State Senator Lowery. When
he State Convention met in New
Eork City the 5th the Half Breeds
,vere in a majority, even leaving
>ut the contesting delegations.
fter a short, sharp and decisive
ight they got entire control of the
Jonvention and had things their
>wn way'.

More than usual interest will centre
2 the National Capital for some time,
s sveral events of public concern are
etering upon the scene. The indict
ient already found against Guiteau is
be tried, and the wretch probably
uIg ; the star route cases have al
eady been called into Court for a be
inning ; the Senate is about to meet
a extra session, and the Supreme
'ourt convenes on Monday next. All
hese thiags, in connection with the in
rest attaching to a change of Admin
stration. are likely to make Washing
)n as interesting as it is in mid-win
er. Our District criminal court is a
ribunal of National and extraordinary
aterest when its history, or the his
ary of its trials is reviewed. It has
ried Surrati for the murder of Presi
.ent Lincoln, tried the notorious safe
urglary cases, the Ottman Treasury
obbery case, besides Congressmen for
iurder, forgery and bigamy, and sent
x-Senators and other former high
fficials to the penitentiary.
Next to the Guiteau trial the people
f the country are probably most in
erestec in the star route prosecutions.
'hese cases have been thoroughly ex
osed through the press and there is a
onviction in the public mind that
here was under the direction of Mr.
3rady a criminal waste of public
1oney, to say the least. The enor
aous expenditure for that service,
onsuming the entire appropriation
or the fiscal year before the year was
alf gone, and creating a deficieney
mounting to millions ; the excessive
acrease of the pay of certain contrac
ors to five or ten times the amount of
heir original contracts, are facts be
end controversy and circamstauces
alculated to raise a presumption of
rrong. When these things are taken
a connectioL with certain other evi
ences, and the accumulation of large
ortunes by the officials and contract
rs, they rot only raise the presump
ion but inspire a conviction in the
ublic mind which only a thorough
learing up will ever remove. Even
F the accused escape conviction upon
echnicalities, or for lack of legal proof
f guilt, the circumstances are so
trong that a general doubt of inno
ence will still exist.
Since the adjournment of the Su
reme Court there has been a vacancy
reated, caused by the death of Justice
hifford, and Justice Hlunt, it is under
tood, is still incapacitated for service.
ustice Field is not expected here for
averal weeks, and the Court will
berefore meet with three members
bort. There is much anxiety among
be bench and the bar on the subject
f the filling of the vacancy caused by
be death of Justice, Clifford. There
;no reliable information as to whether
'resident Arthur proposes to send in
nomination for the vacancy at the
pecial session of the Senate, or
thether he will wait until the regular
assion in December, and it is supposed
bat he may come to some conclusion
i the matter during his present stay
i New York, after consultation with
is friends. The justices of the Su
reme (Court would be glad if the va
~ney should be promptly filled, as it
ould help very much to lighten their
~bors ; but there are difficulties in
1e way which the IPresident fully
ppreciates, and which may possibly
idiuce him to delay making a nomii
ation until D)ecember. There will
a a great pressure to take the new
>pointee from the East, as only one
:tive miember of the bench, Mr. Jus
ce Bradley, is now from that section,
id Justice Clifford was the only
ember from New England. But the
aims of the South will also be pre
oted and urged with persistency, as
has had no representative on the
mech of the Supreme Court since the
ys of the war. Justice Woods, who
as lately appointed, although nomi
Lly from a Southern Circuit, had
iver given up his residence in Ohio,
ich State has to-day no less than
ur members of the bench of the Su
-ee Court. Owing to all the cir
izstances, including the peculiar
vision of parties in the Senate, the
ling of this~ vacancy by the President
il necessarily be surrounded with
ore or less embarrassment, and will
q,uire thle exercise of sound judg
ent and diseretion.
It is now :mid to be President
rthur's intexion not to avail him
If of the extra session of the Sen
a for the appointment of a new
binet, bhut to wait until Congress
aets in D)ecem,ber. IJe thinks, it is
id, that the C-azinet ministers now
office should remain to make the
nual reports on the operatiora. of
ir respective Departments, and
at in the meantime he will have
tter opportunities for ascertai ning
a current of popular sentiment as
what his Ad annistration should he.
this report is correct the President

s can aid him but little in shaping
prospective features of his mes
e. In laying down his policy for
future it would evidently be of
antage to him to hayve his future
stitutional advisers at his elbow.
Doubtless these maitters were all
