AN URGENT LETTER PROM NEW YORK

AN URGENT LETTER FROM NEW YORK.
NEW YORK, October Il, 1874.
20 he Blfior Of the National Republican,:
SIR; ilnotiee that you take some interest in the
deadlock IN the Post Once business, and the mat
ter Is Of such Importance as 80 justify you in
taking hand in It.
The gist OF the matter is this: the successful
bidders are in default clearly, and yet the
Department and the country are fne0nVenienced
The break Of contract is excused, and people ask
why Hartford Is thus favored3 Is II because the
people in default are Hartford peoples 1t Is too
bad II the Postmaster General, who has been re-
ceiyed SO warmly, will allow this charge OF favor
itism 70 lay At his door and stain his good name.
NOW. as to the morale OF this whole thing. The
main article in the contract Plimpton offers to
sen Ior go Reay for 81 IS, and am assured y
buy the goods under IS. How, In the name Of
mercy. Il PlimptOn going 10 furnish these goods
sold under 81 fs Plimpton going 10 turn cor.
ners sharply and run down the quality Of the
paper, or, which is more likely, is he going to
grind the poor operatives down TO q starving
price. There is . theory here that TO get al q
Starving price in Connecticut you would not have
10 grind down very far.
ter must be felt. The Post Once Department
goes into every city Of this country with the pro-
duct Of this starving and squeezing process to
shut on the dealers from the opportunity Of sell
ing an envelope, for no stationer IN the country
can compete with the Post Once on Plimptonis
starving and squeezing tariff. Depend upon It
that you Will hear from the North and the South,
and from the West; aye, the West, and that big
section cannot be ignored, for the political power
Of the country to-day Is west Of the Alleghanies.
People are interested in this matter who do not
care copper for Geo. H Resy, but who do care
that the Government should not 90, in picayune
manner, into the envelope business or into the
nutmeg business, and in q manner to disturb the
price Of every stRtiOner's goods In the country.
II is a public matter; every stationsr In the
country is Interested in it; fsYoritism in the en-
velOpe contract to-day may extend to favoritism
in something else tomorrow. Nip the squeezing
process in the bud, argue the matter before the
Senate of the United States -

Moody AND HART.

THEIR CASE IN THE POLICE COURT.
On Saturday last the case Of John ". Moody
and Arthur W. Hart, formerly Of st. Louis, No.,
vas heard by Judge Smell. Judge Fisher ap-
pesred for the Government and L. G. Hine and
james 7. Tustin, esqs., represented the accused.
As our readers are aware, these parties were ar
rested about q month ago charged with obtaining
money under false pretences by negotiating a
check for 500 purportiRg to have been signed BY
one Randolph and Endorsed by Judge John Z.
long, Of st. Louis. The examination on Satur-
day brought out the fact that Longs Endorsement
was genuine, and that the holder Of the check, so
regarding It, had actually received it. The de-
fence by their counsel claimed that no false pre-
tence could be charged upon this transaction, and
especially so as the witness fer the Government,
Judge Long, had failed TO appear in court i6
Washington to establish a contrary state OF
facts. Proof was also sOught % Be made that
the accused had addressed written circulars, pur-
porting to emsnRts ITOm the chief clerk Of the
Department Of Justice, to attorneys in different
states offering for $40 TO furnish the opinions Of
thu Attorney General In book form. 1t became
IN important element in the case to establish the
handwriting Of the accused as that in those cir
eularE returned to the Department Of Justice,
upon which the testimony was very conflicting.
The counsel for the Government and the defence
urged the views which they respectively held, and
the Judge decided that, although there were some
features in the case calculated to mitigate the
ehence, there were others which required him
~ send the case 20 the grand jury.
