WASHINGTON LETTER,
Legal lights ani the stak route
cases the beginning f a great
debate in congress the united
states treasury slopping qver.
From ourRegiilar Correspondent.)
Washington, D. C, April 4
There was a great jam to-nay at
the court room to witness the legal
encounter over the Star route inrlie.t
ments. The prosecution was repre
sented by Attorney-General Brews
ter, George Blis, Hon. R. T. Mer
rick and Mr. Kir, of Philadelphia,
who drew the indictments. Colonel
Bob Ingersoll appeared as counsel lor
ex-Senator Dorsey, and Judge Sheila
barger and Jeff Chandler appeared
for Mr. Brady. The points to be
arirued and decided were numerous.
Colonel Ingersoll enumerated twenty
four, to him, "good and sufficient
reasons" why the indictment against
Dorsey should he quashed. In Gen.
Brady's case the number was slightly
less. The motion to. quash was in
the form of a demurrer to the indict
ments, among the reasons! given be
ing the following: First, that no
crime is slated; second, that the
courts cannot supervise a purely ex
ecutive act, or inquire into the regu
larity or propriety of the acts done
by the executive department of the
government; third, that the law re
quires the Post master-General to re
port all the reasons which controlled
him iu increasing the service on the
involved mutes to Congress, which
he did his action being approved by
Congress, which appropriated the
money required to sustain it; fourth,
that ttie Postmaster-General himself,
and not his first or second assistant or
anybody else, performed the acts
complained of. It is held by the op
ponents of the Cqion'd's theory that
those who are in jail are bettor off
there, and should remain without in
quiring as to the manner of their eu
trance.
The we k ip Congress has been re
markable for some real deoating on
the tariff question, and the end is not
yet. Up to the present time the mosi
notable speeches on the suhject have
been made by Kasson, Carlisle, Dun-
nell and Hetyett. Other speeches
will be made, ani the thoroughness
with which some members are pre-
narino- themselves for debate nidi-
E 3 ,
cates a belief Dn their part that the
tariff question is no dead issue.
We have an enormous revenue,
and the public treasury is actually
slopping over. There is a disposi
tion to spend this money, and every
member and Senator is Irving to

towns. A town in Florida wants
the United States to build a postoffice
worth a quarter of a million dollars.
The entire Slate of Nevada has njt
a population equal to that of Wash
ington city, but it has a town de
manding, through two Senators 9nd
a representative, a postoffice worth
a hundred thousand dollars. Other
little cities and towns in forty states
and territories are making the most
exhorbitant requests for grants from
the public treasury. The interests
of this great country are continually
demanding the appropriation ot
large sums of money for improve-
ments for the benefit of the country
at large, and it is of the utmost im
portance that the public treasure
should not be squandered to gratify
the vanity or the greed of small com
munities.
PATENTS.
A Poetic Reconciliation.
Some time ago a man came into a
Baltimore lawyer's office in a state
oi great excitement and asked him
to commence proceedings for a di
vorce. Mr. Dobbin heard him
through, and then said, "I think I
have something that will exactly suit
your case. Sit still and I will read
it to' you."
The man remained seated, all ear,
white or black di esses.

Saxe and the Tipsy Grenadier.
At the siege of Prague, after he
hadllaid all his plans for his final
lesperate assault, baxe took a ride
in the evening through his camp,
partly to see how well his general
orders were understood, and partly
to cheer his men. As he rode slowly
on within his lines a tall grenadier,
who had found jolly companions
somewhere, and who had evidently
drank as much wine as he could com
fortably hold, in rollicking, tipsy
mood staggered up and took the gen-
1 .1... K-;.!.. Musn ot llir.
eiars norse ov tne unij-ivm, v ...
same time demanding, in an utter
ance somewhat thick and uncertain
how much the rider would take for
his beast.
"Mon ami! I want a horse. What
will yon take for tnis animal?"
Sase called for an officer of the
guard, and directed him to put the
man in in the guard-tent and keep
him safely until called for.
And on the following morning the
great captaiu had the grenadier
hrnnoht before him. Tiie man came
trembling, but with a cheerful look
"Well, my man," said Saxe, as the
soldier stood before him, "what are
you prepared to offer me for my
horse this morning?
"General," replied the grenadier,
promptly and frankly, with a sin
cere,honcst' flush upon his good look
ing face, '"the genius that offered to'
Imy your horse last night,'! am hap
py to say, has left t'e camp; ani I
hope he will never come back nev
er! But, General, if he does, I will
report him to you' at once. I promise
ii!"
Saxe accepted the graceful pledge
with a pleasant smile, and told the
soldier that he would take him at his
word.
The grand assault, which proved
successful and placed Prague in bis
hands, was made that very day; and
twice during the conflict Saxe re
ceived his life at the hands of the
grenadier whom he had that morning
pardoned. Once the soldier hail led
a squad of his stout comrades ti the
rescue, and once be saved hisbe'oved:
general by his own personal bravery
prowess.'
Sober as a Judge.
It is too good to pass over in si-
ence. 1 cannot give precise oats,
for the good judge is living now or,
he was two days ago; for I then saw
him a little more portly, and more
silvery, than aforetime but healthy
ind well. When ho was on the
bench it was of the prlice court
he was in the habit of drinking free-
y. He was fond of good company,
Hid of good suppers; he was a capital
after-dinner, or after-supper speaker,
and seldom was there a big spread to
which he was not invited. More
than once the judge had been so full
of the distilled spirit that its influ
ence had been to make him maudlin
and silly; yet.his comrades laughid
at him and thought it no harm.
And so lai from feeling in danger
was the judge himself, that he had
more than once j oked upon his own
failing; and he had fallen into the
habit, when in his cups, ot saying,
jokingly:
"Slil Sober's a judge."
And thereat all hands would iu-
lulge in a hearty lautrli.
Well, once upon a lime, and it
was on a day following one of the
udge's most eventful nights of
'Oyster and game supper, with quail
on toast, and wines and liquors of all
kinds,"' he had a case before him, iu
his court, of unusual interest. The
defendant, or culprit, was a man of
means and standing and the court
room was well filled with the judge'
personal friends.
By and by a witness was called to
testify, whoso testimony the defend
ant's counsel sought to invalidate
by proving that he was drunk on
the occasion in question. He was
short, dumpy, jolly-faced with ahead
of carroty hair, and linen sadly in
need of soap and water, as his garb
generally was in need ot repair.
Imagine him.
Witness, were you sober enough
on that occasion lo know just what
was going on around yo ?" asked the
counsel.
"I was sober's as a-man ever was."
And so they went on, until, at
length, the judge put out his hand,
and interrupted. He proposed tQ
solve the matter for himself.
"Witness," sternly, "how mar.y
times had you drank on that day
before the event transpired ?"
"Well, judge, perhaps I drank a
dozen times."
"And what had been yonr drink ?
What had you drank chiefly at those
twelve drinks ?"
"Chiefly whisky, yer honor."
"And do you pretend to say that
you were sober after that ?"
The man straightened himself
suddenly, and took on a look of pat
ronizing familiarity that was com
ical to behold.
"Sober, yer honor? I was sober
as a judge, and you ought'r know
it!"
It was too good. It is doubtful
if the witness had the remotest idea
of the t'jrrible hit he had made. But
the jud2o sent him down mstanter,
and' tociic his testimony for what it
was worth. A7! Y. Ledger.
