By the statement in another column of the
results of an investigation by TRIBUNE re-
porters at the POst-Ofiice and Custom house,
it will be found that, in so far as
Mr. Dawes's resolution in the House has
been regarded as implying that letters
in the New-YOrk Post Office had been opened
by any other than the persons to whom they
were addressed, a false impression has been
given. The statement of Postmaster James,
in his card to THE TRIBUNE, is shown to be liter
ally correct 1t is also shown. however, that the
action of Postmaster James and of Collector
Arthur in the premises was overruled by the
authorities in Washington, and that the let
ters seized in this city on their way to Boston,
on suspicion of containing diamonds, were
ordered to be forwarded to their
address. Ii has been claimed, as
was stated in the first article
in The TRIBUNE on the subject, that the
authorities in Boston were properly advised
of this shipment, and that the papers
already in the hands of the Govern
mcnt were primd faCie evidence that
no fraud was intended, but that, on the
contrary, every effort swas made to get
the goods, by the quickest mode, into the
hands of the proper officers If this be true.
the effort of the CustOm-hOuse authorities
here to cOnfscate them IN transitu, however
much in accordance with precedent or even
with law, was in morals no better than highway
robbery. 1t is only justice to the Custom house
authorities, however, to say that, SO far as
the official action shows, nothing has been
proved save that the detention here was dis
approved in Washington, and that the pack
ages were ordered forward to their address

New-York tribune., 1873-12-19

The list of Senators and Representatives. who
have absolutely returned their back pay (as
printed from an official source in another
column is an interesting record for preserva-
ton. The number of names is smaller than
has been generally supposed. Those gentle
men who have contented themselves with
leaving the plunder in the hands of the dis
bursting officers, subject at any time to their
order, but assuring their constituents that they
"have not drawn it and do not intend to-" are
not included in the list. But it will be OBJ
served that Gen. Spinner's record is the only
thing that can be reckoned official and authen-
tic in the matter.

Congressman are represented as standing

they will leave to rot where they are unless
they can get them away without paying

talks of printing million or so of illustrated

CHOLERA AND HOMEOPOTHx.

Homeopathy gained its first triumphs and
secured public RECOGNITION by its signal cures
of the Cholera in 1928. In every seceeding
invasion it has maintained its reputation,
TENS failed. No other treatment or system
can even approximate its splendid results.
Its mild doses seem to act like magic, and
cure as no other medicine does. This is the
experience Of more than forty years; DR..

Of simple directions, which gives the symp-

A DOWNTOWN MERCHANT recently sued
his druggist for attempt to defraud. He
was suffering from inAamed kidneys and
asked for DR.. Helmbold's Buchu. The
druggist gave him another kind, upon
which the profit was greater. Instead
of relieving the patient as the genuine
preparation had always done, the imita-

and long and distressing illness fol
lowed. The court, after full hearing,
