Thieves Great anin Small. Appearance of the Star Route Ring in Court. News and Courier. VAsHrN;rON. Oct->br 4.-There was a good deal of interest in the courts to-day, the grand jury com pleting their examination and finding a presentment in the assassination A case, while the Criminal court room A was the theatre of another dewonstra 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. hiere was a for .,idable array of defendants, counsel and prospective botdsmen, which filed into the court room at an early hour. attracting general attention. First came Messrs. J. L. French and W. H. V Turner, former clerks in the contract office of the postoffice depirtment, 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. t 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. C 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 ann3unced that they had come there for the purposo of ente:ing a moLion 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 aw and furnish bail. Then the side issue of bail was taken up, Jere Wilson and Col. Inger soll 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 not1 entered, the Judge desiring a day toi look over the-information so he couldt determine the amount of bail, after furnishing which the defence can file their motion. So "Little Billy" Cook, as the Ring- t . sters call him, won the first skirmish in the Court. Brady & Co. gave their personal recognizance to appear in Court to-morrow morning. Some weeks ago we tock 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-i ness of this position, for some timei 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-i lotte elected a dry ticket and refused I to grant licenses. Now that the fight has been made and lost in the State, the city council of Charlotte has re- I considered its action and decided tor grant licenses for the sale of spirituousr liquors as heretofore. This should be .a lesson to the ultra prohibitionists in this State. They had better let well enough alone.

It circulates exten.sively, and a.s an (lvertising uedium offers unrivalled ad antages. For Term:.. fee tir-t page. Guitean's Confession. The New York Herald prints a ong confession from the assassin xuiteau. The narrative begins with he presidential campaign. Guiteau vas very anxious to be sent out as one of the campaign speakers, and itng around the Republican head iuarters in New York, besieging ,he committee for week after week. )ne speech,entitled Garfield against .ancock, he thought was a remark ble performance. This he had >rinted, but got no opportunity to leliver it except to a colored meet ng in New York. After Garfield's ,lection he went to Washington Lud sent in his application for the Vstrian mission, accompanying iis application with his great ;peech. He wrote numerous notes Lnd letters to the President and to ecretary Blaine. Finding he could iot get the Austrian Mission he tpplied for the Paris Consulship. While this application was pending, ie being sanguine of the appoint nent, it sudder ly occurred to him hat the President must be "re noved;" that it was necessary for he preservation of the country and he Republican party ; that if the President were out of the way the party would become united; other wise the government would fall [uto the hands of the "rebels and Democrats." This impression kept rowing upon him till he felt him. elf impelled by divine authority to -emove the President. He thus lescribes his conception of the leed: My conception of the idea of re noving the President was this : Mr. Jonkling resigned on Monday, May 6, 1881. On the following Wed esday I was in bed. I think I re ired about 8 o'clock. I felt de pressed and perplexed on account of hc political situation, and I retired nuch earlier than usual. I felt earied in mind and body, and I was n my bcd about 9 o'clock, and I was hinking over the political situation, md the idea flashed through my rain that if the President was out of he way everything would go better. t first this was a mere impression. t startled me with renewed force, and began to read the papers with my ye on the possibility that the Presi ent would have to go; and the more read, the more I saw the comuplica ion of public affairs, the more was I opressed with the necessity of re noving him. This thing continued for about two eeks. I kept reading the papers Ld kep.t being impressed, and the dea kept bearing and bearing and learing down upon me that the only ray to unite the two factions of the lepublican party and save the repub ic from going into the hands of the ebels and Democrats was to quietly emove the President. Hie then proceeds to recount the .ttempts to carry out his purpose. He went to the Christian Church >n Sunday and saw that the Presi tent sat by a window. He made tp his mind to come back the next sunday and shoot him there ; but Le learned in a day or two that the resident was going to Long ranch with Mrs. Garfield. He went to the depot for the >urpose of "removing" the Presi ent. He gives as his reason for ot 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." Knowing when the President ould return from Long Branch e went again to the depot for the urpose of killing him. It was a ot, sultry day. While waiting in be ladies' room he says, "I thought all over and made up my mind bat I would not fire that day. I id not feel like it." He next followed the President -hile out riding with his son and nother gentleman, but did not get chance to shoot. He next followed him as he went one to Mr. Blaine's house ; he aited in the alloy for the President >pass by on his return ; but when a returned Mr. Blaine was with mn. Next was the successful attempt the depot July 2nd.1 A white man named Church was kcn out of jail at Newton, Cataw County, N.

The whole system of civil service seems to be permeated with rotten ness. The death of President Garfield did not stop the hostility betweer the "Stalwarts" and "Half Breeds in the State of New York. Thi, was the issue in electing their dele gates to the recent State Conven tion. In Conkling's own County Utica, the contest for delegates wai very close ; the two factions held separate meetings and elected i different set of delegates, the Stal warts being headed by ex-U. S Senator Conkling, and the Hal Breeds, or Garfield Republicans, b: ex-State Senator Lowery. Whe; the State Convention met in Nev York City the 5th the Half Breedi were in a majority, even leaving out the contesting delegations After a short, sharp and decisivi fight they got entire control of th< Convention and had things thei: own way.

An Unloaded Pistol not a Dead A party was tried before Judge Mackey at Sumter h.st wveek on the charge of carrying a coLcealed dead ly weapon. His Honor charged the jury that it not appearing thai the pistol was loaded, and there being no attemp)t to use it as a loaded pistol, it was not a "deadly weapon" within the meaning of the act. J.

More than usaal interest will centre in thre National Capital for some time, as several events of public concern are _ enteri:g upon the scene. The indittt ment already found against Guiteau is to be tried. and the wretch probabiy hung ; the star route cases have a] ready been called into Court for a be ginning: the Senate is about to meet 1 in extra session, and the Suprem'e Court convenes on Monday next. All these things. in connection with the in terest attaching to a change of Admin istration, are likely to make Washing ton as interesting as it is in mid.win ter. Our District criminal court is a tribunal of National and extraordinary interest when its history, or the his tory of its trials is reviewed. It has tried Surratc for the murder of Presi- - dent Lincoln, tried the notorious safe i burglary cases, the Otttnan Treasury robbery case, besides Cougressmen for murder, forgery and bigamy, and sent ex Senators and other former high officials to the penitentiary. Next to the Guiteau trial the people S of the country are probably most in terested in the star route prosecutions. fi These cases have been thoroughly ex posed through the press and there is a conviction in the public mind that C there was under the direction of Mr. ( Brady a criminal waste of public 0 money, to say the least. The eior mous expenditure for that service, consuming the entire appropriation for the fiscal year before the year was C half gone, and creating a deficiepoy. i amounting to millions; the excessive increase of the pay of certain contrac- 0 tors to five or ten times the amount of a their original contracts, are facts be yond controversy and circumstances L calculated to raise a presumption of wrong. When these things are taken b in counection with certain other evi dences, and the accumulation of large fortunes by the officials and contract ors, they not only raise the presump- t tion but inspire a conviction in the public mind which only a thorough clearing up will ever remove. Even if the accused escape conviction upon tech nicalities, or for lack of legal proof of guilt, the circumstances are so strong tht a general doubt of inno cence will still exist. Since the adjournment of the Su preme Court there has been a vacancy created, caused by the death of Justice Clifford, and Justice Hunt, it is under stood, is still incapacitated for service. Justice Field is not expected here for several weeks, and the Court will therefore meet with three members short. There is much anxioty among the bench and the bar on the subject t of the filling of the vacancy caused by F the death of Justice Clifford. There is an reliable information as to whether Presidenrt Arthur proposes to send in a nomination for- the vacancy at the special se:ssion of the Senate, or whether lie will wait until the regular session in Decernber, and it is supposed r that lie mray come to some conclusionp in the matter during his present stay in New York, after consultation with his friends. Trhe justices of the Su preme Court would be glad if the va cancy should be promptly filled, as it would help very much to lighten their labors ; but there are difficulties in the way which the President fully appreciates, and which may possibly induce him, to delay making a nomi nation until December. There will be a great pressure to take the new appointee from the East, as only one active memiber of the bench, Mr. Jus- ~ tice Bradh-y, is now from that section, and Jastice Clifford was the only member f rom New England. But the claims of the South will also be pre sented and urged with persistency, as it has had no representative on the ~ bench of the Supreme Court since the days of the war. Justice Woods, who D was lately appointed, although nomi- 0 nally from a Southern Circuit, had never given up his residenice in Ohio, which State has t'e-day no less than c four members of the bench of the Su- C preme Court. Owing to all the cir- E cumnstances, including the peculiar division of parties in the Senate, the s filling of this vacancy by the iPresident L will necessarily be surrounded with IR more or less embarrassment, and will require the exercise of sound judg merit and discretion. It is now said to be President Arthur's intention not to avail him- C self of the extra session of the Sen - ate for the appointment of a new Cabinet, but to wait until Congress meets in Deeber. He thinks, it is D said, that thre Cabinet ministers now I in office sho'uld remain to make the annual reports on the operations of their respective Departuients, anid B that in the meantime he will have bedecr opportuinities for ascertaining the current of popular sentiment as to what his A dmnistration should be. N If this report is correct the President a will of course have the benefit of the tr present Cabinet ministers' reports onb the public business in a retrospective sense; anid to thiat e.xtent they may si serve him in getting up his own mes sage to Congress. But if shortly after the meeting of Congress the present Cabinet is to go out, its ment bers can aid him but little in shaping c< the prospective features of his mes sage. In laying down his policy for the future it would evidently be of advantagze to him to have his future _ eonstitutionial advisers at his elbow. ~ D)oubtltes these matter-s were all determined upon after consultation with his friends during the Preai lents' recenot visit to New York. But ao one here appears authorizedl to P< speak by the card. It is still insisted, by those who ought to know what they are talking about, that Mr. b Donkling is to be made Secretary of bi he Treasury and Mr. Blaine retained pr is Secretary of State in an effort to. barwonize things.
