Mr. Holmes, of the United States Senate in relation
to some very dsgr ceful Transactions in the Gencroi
post Ofhce at Washington, in which the Postmaster
General makes conspicuous figure We are bonnd
TO believe every word that Mr. Holmes has said be

Senate to investigate certain tiers in that denart
mcnt and went personally to the Office TO attend the
'Xanl nations.
In the face of all this we find paper. wi,hou,
