Assistant Postmaster Gen eral Brady Mixed Up in the Affair. He ia Forced to Tender Hia Resignation , and Does * eo-at Oncer - * fiy National Associated Pnas. WttHtNOTON , April 22 1 a , m. A sensation at the post office depart- parttnent yesterday was the enforced resignation of Thomas J.Brady , second assistant postmaster-general. Yester day the postmaster general wrote a letter to Brady at the dictation of the president , demanding his immediate resignation , and it was tendered. There are very uglyfrumors afloat touching the star routes and General Brady's connection with the contract of the route. When James took hold of the post- office department he began at once an investigation of the star contracts He has not yet completed this work , but has gone far enough to convince himself tht great frauds and abuses exist. It was this knowledge that in- dnoed the postmaster general to send a commissioner to Memphis to inves tigate the steamboat aerriee at that point , which is believed to be rstten and corrupt. This aarvice , though not properly belonging to the star routes , was inaugurated by Postmas ter-General Key to accommodate merchants of Tennessee. It is alleged that many of the Bt r routes , for which the government pays a royalty , run into some j > tacea and decsrts others , and on some there fro no ter minal points. They start at given places , and run to places where it has been found that compensation on one route , which was "expeditnd , " was increased from § 700,013 to $2,500- 000. 000.The The investigation , as far as it has progressed , has developed tne most glaring inconsistencies. The postmas ter general will , throngh the precs , make public the result of his investi gations. The postoffice officiate aa'd to-day tnat there is much that it would not bs prudent to disclose now. The papers are in the hands of other offi cials , and it will be long before there are other developments. Gen. James is satisfied that with the evtravagance which he can top off in the Star route service , tint in two fiV.l years he can make the postoffice department abso lutely self-sustaining. It is reported that the resignations of several other officers who * are knswn to have had questionable rela tions with the Star route ring will alto be demanded , and that several clorke in the contract office are marked for dUmiuiL A DULL SENATE. DEBATE OVER THE YTOfiN DOT ISSUES OF THE PAST. WASHIKOTON , April 21. Senator Coke delivered a speech of considera ble length on the southern outrages. After the conclusion of Senator Coke's speech , Senator Don Cameron made an attempt to push through a mo tion to adjourn until Monday. The democrats and republicans divided on the question and the motion was lost by a vote of 25 to 19 Senator Call , of Florida , then made a speech in refntation of Senator Frye's attack on Florida. He said that the senator's testimony in regard to frandulant elections was on old story that had been refuted time and time again. He spoke for an hour and his remarks were devoted entirely to clearing Florida's political record , and showing that the republicans had a large hand in much of the alleged corruption. He denied that political murder hid ever been proved to have been committed by the democrats in Florida. Such lieswsre too common to be news. Senator Dawes made a speech in re ply to Senator Call , ia which he talked a good deal about bourbon democrats. Senator Jones , of Florida , asked what a bourbon democrat was. Senator Dawes replied that the bourbona were democrats who learned nothing new and forgot a good deal. Senator Wade Hampton then took occasion also to deny that fraud and violence were the rule in South Care lina. He had himself talked openly all over the state against all suspicions or suggestions of fraud or violence , and he was proud to say that his words were heeded. In the course of his remarks he denied that the carpet bagger was a republican. He WPS generally nothing more or less than a thief and a robber. He also called attention to the fact t at he , an ex- confederate and elave holder , had even gone ao far in his state as to recommend the adoption of the Mas sachusetts constitution for South Carolina , as It was the strongest state r ighta constitution of all the thirty- eight. * > Senator Hampton announced that he would reply more fully to the sen ator from Maine when he should be present ' Senator Jonas stated , in regard to the alleged Heath outrages , in Cald well parish , Louislsna , that he had received word that a full refntation of the story of the outrages was on the way , but that he had already heard that the alleged victim's barns were burned for the insurance , and thus his reputation for truth and veracity was not above impeachment. Mr. Dawes replied that the man was of good character when he went eoutb , and it was too bad if he had so degen erated on account of bis associations in Louisiana. The debate went on and finally drifted Into the free ballot issue in Alabama , which was discussed at length by Senators Dawes and Mor gan. gan.The senate adjourned at 5:40 : p. m , until 12 to-morrow.
