Garheld'a private secretary has beon borne upon
tho rolls Of tho Postmaster or tho House for
about four years without performing anysorvlce.
Tho proaont House Postmaster decided not to

would bo In danger II he relieved llia
(aaraeld's) private secretary. Tho substance
Of this charge WAS pretty well known
here some three months ngo and IN examination
Of tho fact leavos no doubt Of isa accuracy. At

having tho resolution passed., he declined, In ro-
sponss to question from tho Bpon1er, to say
what the measure covorod, aud. although ho
tried repeatedly thereafter to got 1t before tho
