The star route swindle is likely to
develop some curious features and in
volve some very "honored names. The
inference from -Brady's "disclosures is
that the president, if not a participant
in tho frauds, .shared in tlio spoils to
the. extent of having the moiwy used
"for ids service. If this is true, it must
have been known to a large part of the
ropiildican committee as well us the
leaders in tho lato campaign.- Omaha
HerahK
From evidence coming to light tho
star route ring comprises honored
names 'of both parties and was used by
both political aspirants of Presidential
candidates. Even tho honored name
of Wiitfield Scott Hancock is mixed ' in
the scandal, and it is as clear aB any
thing yet noted regarding tho matter,
that star routo money gavo him tho

most prominent motive power that
led to his nomination by tlio Demo
cratic party. Tire 'Congress of the

and havo spent hundreds of thousands
of 'dollars upon investigating commit
tees, investigating every conceivable

that tlioy never took up the "star routo"
business? Investigations hitherto
which havo resulted in tho discovery
of scoundrelism havo invariably un
earthed the scoundrels from Demo

The president lias finally declared

that is the way it looks; ho having
withdrawn tho names of Conkling's
pnitienlar Mends for oflicial positions
in New York, and refused to with-
J draw the name of Robertson, his par
ticular enemy. This fuss between
Conkllng and the President is much
to bo regretted, as regardless of who is
to blame, or most to blame, it will
raise such dissensions in New York
as will most surely lose that stato to
thoRepublican party. It is also a mat
ter of regrot and supriBO on tlio part
of the admirers of President Garfield
that he should manifest a disposition
that borders on to the vindictive. "Wo

following:
An old saw stales that "a prophet is
without honor in his own country,"
and the same is true of some men of

his native Virginia.
This Democratic tallow dip, mis
represents Mahone, and of course has
no idea that his "old saw," which ho

are words of Christ, found in tho New

the South. After complimenting the
"handsomest" of the speech, The

that Hampton admitted tho uso of

South Carolina, and asserts that after
such an admission, Hampton "conced
es that he was made Senator by a body
illegally chosen, and that, so far as he
knows "at least, he is not morally en
titled to sit in the Senate. Wo do not

thus defends Mahone and the Republi

disappointed the expectations of not
a singlo man in the party to which ho
owes his placo. They can not justly
lay a single charge against him, and it
is not for this that their anxiety and

Boaiothing Butlor Didn't Allndo to.
Souator Rutlor, in his recent spccclu
should have dovotod a part of his tlmo
to tho facts brought out iu tho examin
ation of witnesses in tho Fifth District,
South Carolina, contested election
case A dispatch from Columbia gives
tlio following particulars, to which tho
attention of Mr, Butlor is directed:
Tlio testimony elicited from trust
worthy witnesses, and, for tho most
part, uncontradicted on tho Bourbon
sido, shows that nt Kdgefiold Court
llotiuo nearly 2,000 colored Republicans
wore not allowed to voto. At John
stone's, in tlio Binno county, between
.100 and f00 of tho same class of votora
were not permitted to doposllo their
ballots ; a colored man was also killed
at this poll, and no offorts havo been
madoby the Suite to bring tho murder
era to justico. At Aiken Court Houso
a piece of aitillery, loaded with grape
shot by W. W, Williams-tlio Judgoof
Probato was planted in tho street
facing the poll; tho Palmetto Guards
it militia company kept their arms at
the Town Hall, and twico assembled
In tho street armed to prevent
Republicans from voting, and when
oven the tear of being shot did not
deter a few from entering behind tho
barricado erected in front of tho poll to
doposito their ballots they paid for their
temerity by having cayenne popper
throvn4n.tholceyes; thoso who pro
tested agilinst this barbarity were
threatened with arrest for inciting riot.
Democratic lawlessness reigned su
premo at every poll in this county, and
very few Republican votes woro polled.
At Buford's Bridge, .Barnwell County,
a baud of armed men drove about 400
colored Republicans from tho poll, and
a Confedorato Hag was hoisted over tho
precinct. At .Barker's and soveral
other precincts armed men prevented
Republicans from voting. In Hamp
ton County, near Beach Branch, nine
armed Democrats waylaid the thrco
colored men who had tho Republican
tickets for that vicinity, and compelled
them to deliver them up at tho mouth
of the pistol. In Colleton County tho
Commissioners of Election refused to
count the vote of Jncksonboro a largo
Republican precinct because tho box
was full at 1 o'clock, and tho managers
closed the poll. At Sunimorvillc
another Republican stronghold tho
poll was not opened at nil. At tho
Vitiligo" the vote, heavily Iopublican,
was thrown out because the managors
procured a second box, Us the first
could not hold all the tickets.
To Conkling perhaps moro than to
any ouo man Garfield owed his election.
In ids party Conkling is trusted by all.
and is the idol of many. In tho Somite
no man of his party seems to become
his rival as a Senator or statesman.
On the Senato floor if ho is not loved
he is respected, and bis place as one of
tho leading Senators in the nation is
not questioned. Between him and
Garfield thero could honorably bo no
rivalry. Garfield is great by virttio of
being tlio olflcinl head of fifty millions
of peoplo. Conkling is great by nature
and by his acknowledged leadership.
Tlio people conceded to each his place,
and snw no cause for rivalry. But
Garfield was seized with a fit of Presi
dential foolishness, and struck at
Conkling to bring hhndolvn. Ho be
lieved Conkling's position as leader
could be broken, and that tho peoplo at
largo could bo made to esteem him
less. Tho blow struck washy an ap
pointment the most oftensivo that
could Iio made to tho Senator. Now
what mast lo the result? New York
