IBY TELEGRAPH TO THE rRIDusEI
WASHINGTON, Oct 8-Announcement was MAIDS
IN this correspondence weeks since of the pun
pose on the part of the President aud several Of his
Cabinet to sift out the unfit men among the Federal
ofice-holders at the South. This subject had been
matter Of serious and prolonged consultation be-
tween Secretary Bristow. Postmaster General Jew
ELL and the President These officers had found, and
so reported to the President. that the rule Of tho
Senate. which virtually places the whole patron
age of the several States in the hands
of the Republican Senator's. by allowing
them the sole decision i'm regard to all combinations,
had resulted in some Of the States in foistng many
unfit men upon the public service. 1t was agreed
that prompt and vigorous measures must be taken
to remedy the evil and it was decided that searchina
Investigations should be made and that changes
should follow wherever il was found that they were
demanded and that hereafter the responsibility OK
rejecting fit men should be thrown upon the Senate.
The first Of these Investigations has just been
completed The State selected for examination
was Texas, where the combinations have all been
under the control Of Senator Flanagan. Special
Agent WOODWARD OF Tue FostOhco eerNfco anu
Internal Revenue Agent Gargan have just returned
from thorough examination of the Postal and
Treasury service ss administered IN Texas. Tho
results are of o startling character. and general
removal is expected as soon a. the President re-
turns The chief irregularities of postmasers have
been constant certificates of the performance of mail
service on routes where little if any has been
performed and in giving certificates as to the stand
ing of parties in the straw bid" Ring. The revenue
and postal service also found to be In terrible
condition. Similar investigations will take place at
once in several other States, and wherever it il
found that persons whose nominations have been
insisted upon by Senators are unfit, prompt re-
movas will take place. Messrs. Woodward aud
Gargan are now engaged In writing out their re-
ports. Officers found to be engaged in this general
thieving and rascality are not only to be removed
but Immediately prosecuted
