STAR ROUTE FRAUDS.
Startling Discoveries Made by
Postmaster-General
James.
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

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.
