The Kepublican party, through its leaders, became partictpt rrim inl of tic Star-route thefts when it Emitted Dorsey to spend a a large iortion of the Star-route fun J in carrying Indiana for Gar lit M and Arthur ' in 1SS0, and it could not, therefore, afford to havi the Star route defendants convicted. The trial of Dorsey and Uias4ciate wan a farce. The government has been, robbed by the Star router, nnd it will con tu l iobled as Ion; as the lie jiublican patty remains in power. What more proof of the insincerity f the administration could be wanti-d than U fteeu in the recent M-towal of fast mute contracts nrtiii Mime of the very parties who have Ixeu indicted nnd tried as i i Miiatoiii with Domey and I'.rady ! Nothing but the use of uornum Minis' of money in the flection can Kisibly ave the Ke publican arty from defeat iu the future, and that only saved it from defeat in the last presidential con-li-st. ( The party managers have long Ut-a in the habit of paying the greater iort ion of their cam paign expends with money filched -from the treasury iu one way and another, and there is no reason to nppoe they will not continue the practice next year. If Star-route 'thieve eanuot be levied upon for fund itlt which to buy doubtful State?, oilier ways will le found to raie the wind. If the people would put a stop to bis wholesale rob lery and corruption they must .overthrow the -party which is re sponsible foi it.' They can do this if they wilt They should not be . deceived even by the placing of Kepublican candidates in the field who are eronally respectable and unobjectionable. The oulj way to reform the abute is to drire the corrupt old llepnbliean party from power. Iiit it shiver in the cold for awhile where the Democracy have leen kept too long for the public gml. Place the responsi bilities of administration upon the Ifc-mocratic party and keep them then till it too Khali fall from fcrace. Thi may be stale advice, and to Kcpublicans it may seem not wholly disinterested, but it is nevertheless good advice, and un Ifjw a majority of the people ac eept it, and act non it the country will continue to be disgraced and outrageously plundered. coMifox m.ci)i:ff. The New York Timet has been active and enterprising in collect ing and publishing evidence in the star route matter, quite damaging to the reputation, of Messrs. Hrady, lorsey and others. Some of it has , tieen rather dreary and not all, ier haps, specially pertinent, but when taken together makingout a pretty .strong ease, that the government and people had been swindled, as well as indicating pretty clearly who were responsible for the frauds. Naturally the 2Wt does not take kindly to the acquittal of the two t defendants. It anuounces that it 'Moe not ac quiesce in the venlict and will con tinue the warfare. This it declares leause among the despatches in certain New York papers it was hinted that libel suits would now lie brought against the Timet by P.rady, ami, j perhaps, by Dorsey, :iii1 it defines'1 its motive and pur- iNe still further, as follows: "It will not acquiesce in the venlict of acquittal because it believes these kmmi to !e guilty.

In the case of Fink vs. O'Neil tho Supreme court of the United States, December term, 1&S2, lays down the doctrine that the exemp tion laws of a State bar an execu tion on a judgmeut in favor of the United States. The process for the collection of debts in the State must be followed in the Federal courts. The case went up by ap lcal from the Circuit court of the United States for the Eastern dis trict of Wisconsin. The United States marshal was enjoined from the execution of a Jla issued upon a judgment in favor of the United States and which had been levied ou real estate alleged to be the homestead of the appellee. The exemption law in v iscon- sin is as follows: "A homesteiul to ba "selected bv the owner thereof, consisting.when not included in anv villa re or citv. of any quantity of land, not ex ceeding forty acres, used for agri cultural nurnoses. and when in eluded in any city or village, of a quantity of laud not exceeding one fourth of an acre, ana tue dwelling housi thereon and its appurtenan ces- owned and occupied by any resident or tnis Mate, suau u ex empt from seizure or sale on execu tion, from the lien of every judg ment, and from liability iu any form for the debts of such owner, except laborers, mechanics and purchase money liens, and mort gages lawfully executed, and taxes lawfully assessed, and except as otherwise specially provided - in these Statutes, etc Tbe question is, whether tho United States has adopted the laws of "Yiscousin exempting home steads from execution, and whether they apply to executions in favor of the United States. Justice Matthews delivers the opinion of the court: llractof Mav 10. 1S2S. writs of execution and other final process issued on judgments rendered in nnv of the courts of the United States, and the proceedings there upon, should be the same, except. their style, in each atate respect ively, as were then osed in tho courts of such States provided, however, that it should be in the f tower of the courts, if they saw fit n their discretion, by role of court, so far to alter final process in said courts as to conform the same to any change which might be adopt ed by the legislatures or uie re spective States for the state courts, ft will 1m seen from this Provision that it was thereafter prohibited to me couns oi iuc uuuo umik either to adopt or recognize any form of execution, or give any ef fect to it, except such aa,was at thn time of the nassasrc of the act or had subsequently become at the time or their adoption, a wni au thorized bv the laws of the State. Tae same provision has ever since been continued in lorce, and is now embodied iu svio ox iue 15- vlsed Statutes. It i further to bo observed, says Jtfstice Matthews, that no distinc tion is made between executions on judgments in favor ot private par ties and on those in favor 01 lue United States. And as there is no Uinn as to the effect of execu tions at all, except as contained in this legislation, it follows necessa rilv that the exemptions from levy and sale, under executions of one class apply equally to an, mciuu ing those on judgments recovered by the United tttates. j . . This conclusion cannot be avoid ed by the consideration which has been urged upon ns, that the pro cess acts do not limit the sovereign rights of the United States, upon principle that the sovereign is not bound by such laws, nniess ne is expressly named. These laws are the expression of the sovereign will ou the subject, and are conclu sive upon the judicial and execu tivA officers to whom they are ad dressed; and as they forbid the is sue of an execution in ever case, except subject to the limitations which they meution, and ns there is no authority to issue an execu tion in any case whatever, .except as conferred by them, the sov ereign right iuvoked is left with out the means of vindication. The i-iffwi st.n cannot enforce the collection of a dtbt from an unwill ing debtor, except by judicial pro cess. They must bring a suit and obtain a judgment. To reap the fruit of that judgment they must cause an execution to issue. The courts have no inherent authority to take any oue of these steps, ex nm tt mv hare been conferred by the legislative department, for they can exercise u juw ..v-, except as the law confers snd limits it And if the laws in Question do it an execution tO ISSUe UlSfc FV."- - upon judgment in favor of the United State, excepi suujecixo iu hirh annlv to citizens. i.r om no others which confer authority to issue any execution at -it I'm. was said by .

ICC If a contrary construc tion to the process acts should be given, on the ground that they do not include the United States, which, although a litigant, contin noa riAvrtlieless to exercise the prerogatives of a sovereign,it would follow that they might resort to any writ known to the common law, however antiquated or ooso fotA nnd. in defiance of the pro- gress of enlightened legislation ou that subject, revive all the hard snips oi impnsouuieni. iur ucui, even without the liberty of local statutory jail limits..

This decision reverses the opin ion of Judge Dick in United States r. Howell, which was printed in the Patriot, February 22d, 1882. In lhat case judgment was obtain ed against Howell upon u ware house bond. The marshal made no levy, as no "goods and chatties, lands and tenements' in excess of the homestead could be found.- On motion of District Attorney Royd an alias execution was issued, and the marshal was directed to disre gard the State exemption laws. Discnssing this question Judge Dick said : Th orineinlesof law UPOIl this snbiectare well settled.and need no further statement or discussion. I think I may state as correct the funeral nronosition that State cx emption laws cannot apply to any debt, obligation, duty, or naumiy due from a citizen to tho United States.

The annnual pay for four . i i. i f it routes in uregon, mciuueum iue Imlirtmpntj reeentlv tried, was raised in this way from 110,732 to llG4,liy. - The testimonv of Price, who held 3G routes, upon six of which he secureil ''expedition7' tuai raised the annual pay from $43,070 to ftir.O Ki.i- and who had rich tem porary contracts, could not be more explicit, lie bought nis "extra allowances by large bribes, paid in postal drafts in one case to Sen ator Kellogg, and trace to Brady. Links here and there have been supplied by other testimony, and the chain is complete. . N The service in nine western and southwestern States and nine Ter ritories was let at the beginning of the term for 8 2,00,2S0 per an num. In these States and Terri-j tones were the ring's routes. In oue year Brady raised the pay for this service to $3,700,907, mainly by 44extra allowances' to ring eon-j tractors, amounting to almost $l,-j 700,000 per annum. In the first half of tho second 3ear he addexl almost $3,00,00 more to the pay of members of the riug, and gave them "temporary contracts,Hwardi ed without competition, which yielded nearly f 1,000,000 a year, many temporary routes being use less. j Tho baker's dozen who, with Brady composed the ring, were bleeding the treasury by frauds that were notorious. On only 413 routes held by these men and their representatives Brady added 12, 093,433 to the anuual pay, raising that pay from $1,202,303 to $3,337, 7C3. and at the same time decreas ing the number of miles on which the mails were carried. Tho in quiry was narrowed until it related to 93 of these 413 routes, and it was found that the annual pay for the at routes had been raised by the huldilion of nearly $2,000,000, from $702,533 to $2,723,4U. inese ng ures show how the frauds were limited to a comparatively small number of routes, and that nearly one-half of the annual appropria tion was given by Brady to only 13 out of a large bod of contractors. These 13 were divided into several groups, each group having its agents and its lines of influence. The members of one of these groups who were led by a Senator of the United States and a powerful poli tician, have been on trial (with Brady) and have been acquitted. This group's share of the "extra allowances' was nearly $300,000. Crip aad Posr lstggt. Laooir Tof4e.) We have seen a four legged chicken hatched by an enterprising hen belonging to Mr. Joseph Crisp.

Waaluactua Port. Itepnblicans who have been foud ly nursing a tender bud . of hope that a union of the discordant ele mpnt nf tlipir ftmd-rent nartr was about to be effected, will observe" with painful interest, that the cen tnd organ of tho Stalwart Admin istration has re-opened firo on both tho great Republican dailies of New York. There has been, of late, much talk of patching up a truce between the two factions, and not a few of the brethren have thought it possi ble to arrange a lasting peace on terms honorable to both sides. Emissaries, with white flags way ing in the balmy June breezes, have been seen traversing the plains be tween the camps of the opposing hosts. From time to time the coun try has been cheered with rumors that peace negotiations were in progress. But all this must have been only a sweet delusion, a boom to be hoped for, but too good to be real ized. For, if a treaty of ieace had been made, or even if negotiations were still pending with a chance of ultimate success, we were not capa ble of believing that tho Stalwart organ of the Stalwart Administra tion would compromise the Admin fstration and its faction by assault ing two Republican newspapers which represent the views and feelings of an overwhelming major ity of the Republican party Our Stalwart neighbor fully ap preciates the fact that, for well known reasous, its utterances are regarded as representing the views of the Administration, and, as its voice is still for war, we are justi fied in, or rather forced to, the con clusion that the Administration has abandoned all hope of peace unless it is able to conquer peace. I Every man who has ventured to the front on cither side has been saluted with repeated discharges from the mud batteries of tho op position. Scandal has had a grand carnival, and the ghouls that fat ten on tho remains of murdered reputations have had their hideous appetites sated. j Not even tho shroud, tjie coffin snd narrow house not even death in his most awful form has proved a sufficient barrier to check the waves of this fierce storm of pas sion. The statesman whose way into the presidential office was bought by both factions in 1880, and who fell a victim to the renew ed fight of these factions in 1831, was scarcely laid in the tomb at Cleveland before his memory was assaulted was dragged into tho arena to be reviled and defiled by his political brethren. And not a week goes by in which some Itepublican pajer does not hint at or openly produce the story that General Garfield sold a place on the Kunreme bench to Jav Gould for a hundred thousand dollar con tribntiou to the campaign fund or OflSSO.

Cauuot the leaders of the party be made to understand that thpv have almost sinned away the day of graces sinned almost be yond forgiveness in their wholesale debauchery of public sentiment t They have elected to great.ouices the men whom they, not their op ponents, had branded with dishon or. They have selected as secial objects of their favor men whom thev had proven unfit for any honor fit only for contempt. Thus they have educated the rising genera tion iu the theory' that a bad name is no handicap to a statesman ; that "a good name is not "rather to be chosen thau great riches. : For these and many other rea sons equally good it is nnfortuuate for the country, porticularly nnfor tunate on tho score of public mor ality, that the factions insist on continuing their fierce and furious fight.

Around the old school obi associations cluster thick, for people of all ages have studied lessons and been well "birched' there in days past or present. But the old and incon venieut building, by no ineaus suit able for a school house, gives way to the march of improvement, and the new mausiou will adorn tho grove of oaks, which,.too, are pass ing away, and must soon be replac ed by other trees.

I hardly know howj it happened, since boyhood had passed without my having yielded jto any of the adventure maladies that ravage early life. No yellow-back novels wooed me for the hind of. settiug sun; but gilded reports floated jn, purportiug to comb from reliable parties well kuow h to myself. There was uot'only in the far away. gold but health 1 lacked both. and so I left the love and . care of home, and with no capital but will- ing hands, found myself in Denver,1 What funds I had ) to support me until work could be found,. togeth er with letters of recoiuinendatiou,! were soon appropriated by a wily pickpocket. . j 1 ; j Herman himself; could not have been more skillful in the operation!

Fortunately! a close investi gation revealed the fact that one of. my pockets contained aj sum suui cient to pay for a dispatch ti Balti more, aud after sending; it I sought lodging for the night, offering my hand trunk as security. j People laughed, in myifacepisked me how long I supposed they had been in Denver; it' I observed any thing especially green iu thtjiir per sonal appearance and nan other remarks calculated to j wound the feelings. Even a divine, hij : spite of scriptural commands, did not anticipate augelf guests, fbr he coolly informed me that hij had been in uenver years and was quite familiar and years wit the carpet bag dotlgei - I was nor I did not starve, however, though I doubt if I will ever inform inv Eastern friends Just hotv 1 1 hissed my first night in this Elt.ora4o. -I soon picked up wjork, not a iclerk ship by any meails, but it wa hou est employment, j l .

There we woum oe nigniiuer night, snow all; around us, land mountain lions and wolvei making the darkness more hideous than it was made even by myj owii re flections.
