WASHINGTON , April 27 1 a. m.
The piatmaster-general positively con
tradicts the newspaper dispatch which
saps that the writers have obtained
from him any statement or opinion
detrimental to Gen. Brady as to rhe
infamous story that Brady's name had
been considered in connection with
the contemplated criminal proceed
ings. The postmaster-general charao-
i erizoa it as a fahe and cruel torrent
of abuse set in motion against Brady
and finds no responsible backets in
this community. The parties who
have been instrumental in inspiring
the newspaper attacks ara said to be
disappointed applicants for contracts ,
aen who worn found to bo irresponsi
ble and of couree conld not get con
tracts. Yfhen the mud slingers are
tlirough then the other side of the
story will ba told. Then it will be
found that Braiy has been the victim
tf cruel and malicious slander.
BRADY HEARD FBOM
NEW YORK , April 27 1 am. . Gen
eral Brady , late second tsslstant post
master-general , In answer loathe so-
called "tftar service scandal,1' says :
"Up to this tire el have satisfied my
self with a general denial of the
charges mnde by a class of newspaper
correspond enU who oltuer do not care
to know the facts , or knowing their ,
deliberately misrepresent them. , fn
saying this I do noc overlook th.e fact
that a great ma ny newspjpers. , misled
by the statcme nta of these malicious
correspondents , have been honestly
led to censure toe andtho _ Dostoifico
department in i severe terms. Tha
case against the star route * , Brady
stated , amounted to this : That upr > u
a certain ninety- three of them tb ere
has been extraordinary increase j or
dered. This imrnl ) jr , as small aa it
miy be in comparison with th d whole
number , include- ; all the gret nation
al routes. A fe w newBpa * or correB.
pondenta who t trike the key note for
many others , cannot conceive hovi
this Increase hat "beebrought about ,
except by cclljr Ao and _ fraud. These
'
charges have atbu t&ado before , were
mide inceesr y daring the winter ol
' 70 and ' 80 , and wfcon congress was in
session wit p cs were eubpuiaed in
larg-j nun , rxsr in consequence thereof ,
and an i jvcitigntion had by the house
approp * .fetion committee , which mual
bo coi ded to have been as thorough
as BO jt y itras far reaching. Yet it it
not , while the committee unanimous
ly recommended a large in-
f /ease , vcr the approoriation for the
previous year. Congress granted the
full amount estimated for the depart
ment , and thereby not only justified
an increase on these ninety-three
routes , but continued them perma-
aeatly on that basis. Also the fact
that congress , at its last session , ap
propriated not only a sufficient amounl
to conduct the service as thus increas
ed , but gave $500,000 for further increase -
-crease during the next fiscal year , and
it Is a notorious fact that during the
put four years the o ttire postal ser
vice has grown with wonderful
growth. This was not confined to th (
" < tar service" alonebut covers anc
includes the railway , steamboat anc
mail messbnger service.In all oi
these there has been in many cases t
phenomenal growth. The country ,
as a whole , to-day enjoys better mai
facilities by one-half than it did foni
years ago. What the department die
in such an augmentation of postal fa
ctlities , conld not be done for nothing
and congress conld have terminated i
by simply fafling to approve of it , af
ter thoroughly examining teto all th
charges that are bronchi forward to
day as late discoveries. It is said tha
it was good , that it w s necessary am
wise. "Rliat the department did ii
all thesa respects it did in obcdionc
to the demands of the country , as PS
pressed through its representatives
Nothing w a done on my own voli
tion ; nothing was done darkly or in
corner , and yet I am responsible fo
all that was done while at the head o
the contract bureau. I am proud c
the fact that I was in a position to respond
spend to the -wants of the country ii
its recent and still continuing wonder
ful era of prosperity. No man whi
comes after me , whatever his inten
tioni may be , dares set his face agains
the liberal policy inaugurated b ;
Judge Key. It was and is the tru
policy , and is endorsed by the people
and any attempt tc change it wil
bring discomfort and contempt unoi
those who try the experiment. Th !
talk about rings and corruption come
from diagramed contractors and would
ba blackmailers. Incessant'overture
were made "by these press brigands ti
contractors who nere supposed b'
them to ba in the enjoyment of fa
contracts and large profit * , toproperl ;
mold public sentiment , and thes
propositions , rejected in many in
stances , wore 'followed by threat
that , if they were denied psrticipa
kion therein , a conlrarv icnllmen
would be created. I have , In al
cases where they came to my know ]
edge , sot my face as a flint agains
inch propositions , and would hav
been energetic In wiping out any ( ton
of the star mall service ft.it reitei
upon so base a foundation for popula
support. Nothing was done , as
have eald , abeve what was done at th
request of members of congress wh
were supposed to know the rules an
requirement * of their c nslitituenti
and nothing was persisted in thi
failed to receive the approval of th
majority. For a while the publ !
mind may be confounded by the clan
or of persons alluded to , and the
may even succeed in bringing nation
names Into the contumely and di
ill grace , but only for a timn. It is ni
probable that in the disbursement <
ao many millions of , dollars per ai
nura for the support of a service i
widely distributed"and so difficult <
thorough investigation , as the si :
E. m il route service of this conntr
. mistakes would be made
th t no , i
money wasted , even under the wise
administration ; nor that there h
IB been a single case of corruption b
. 'i . *

tweon the contractors and the depart
ment I most emphatically deny and
challenge the whole body of defamers
to prove to the contrary.

SENATE.
WASHINGTON , April 26 No caucus
was held this morning , and the only
suggestion of a break in the deadlock
was that Mr. Edmunds offered a
resolution that the committee on ju
diciary sit through the recess , If ono
should occur , and that they be empow
ered to engage a stenographer. The
emilea that greeted the resolution
showed that a recea was far distant
from all thoughts , but the resolution
was adopted.
The senate refused either to go into
executive session , to l y Vho resolution
on the table , or to indefinitely post
pone -it , and debate was resumed ,
Mr. Jonea. of Florida , mdo a
speech answering the recent speech of
Mr. Frye. Ho took up particularly
the charge of barbarism preferred by
SenatorFrye against the south. The
unfortunata identification of the south
frith slavery should not have caused
the south to bo stamped as barbarians ,
since she but followed the precepts
taught her by New England ; that the
question v.aa one of caste , and its
only object could be bat to excite
the enmity and hate of that portion
of the southern people who had not
given It proper reflection. He sketc'
ed the history ° f slavery from < h
days of the Roman empire , an . in.
aisled thatgreat minds had not ' -hosen
circumstantial identification with
slavery any species of bar'jafjgn , Jn
nny sge , but this turning ( O the ques
tion of free ballot and f r COUnt , he

' After Jones' speech nearly two
hours were consumed by roll calls.
The senate refused to do anything
but vote on the pending resolution.
Mr. Groome moved moved a recoifl
for an hour , so that the republicans
could hold the caucus there had been
rumors nbant.
Mr. Dawes said that the duty ol
; ho republicius had baen defined bj
the senate , but the minority had the
power to delay ithat duty , and per
sistently exercised it.
Mr. ' Groome's motion was accom
panied by more or less tedious , de
bate , which continued until 4:30 :
when the senate adjourned tilt noon
