CHICAGO, April 7th. Washington
special gives the following details of
the frauds in the contract bureau of
the Postotlice Depart ment. The de-
lection was effected by clerk in the
office of the Second Assistant Post
master General, who has charge of the
Arkansas. and Texas routes. Kettle,
who is the chief conspirator, has sue
carrying mail in Texas, and has been
so successful in corrnpting clerks
in the department that he became
bold and assumed that all the clerks
were corrupt and that they all could
be used for his purposes. Tie lettings
in which frauds occurred commence
on the LIST of next July. Those for
Texas had l,een awarded. or these,
Kettle and man named Trouplin, of
Michigan, Succeeded by fraud in OBJ
tanning sixty. Encouraged by his
success in the Texas route, he. ap-
preached Sickles, the clerk, and ex-
acting pledge of secresy, informed
him that he wanted his aid for the
Arkansas routes, and wanted Sickles
to inform him what the amounts OF
the lowest bidders, were for certain
routes which he described. Kettles at
the same time promising Sickles a
liberal reward If he would render him
that service. Sickles declined, and
told Kettle that if he attempted any
fraud in respect to the Arkansas routes
he would expose his rascality. Ket-
ties, however, succeeded in entering
his bid clandestinely after the opening
of the bids for the Arkansas routes.
These bids not appearing when the
examination was made, Kettle COM
planned to. Judge Wiltshire, who re-
ports for Arkansas, that he had pnt in
several bids which had not appeared.
Wiltshire thereupon complained to
the Assistant Postmaster General.
In locking over the bids, Kettles bid
could not be found. Slater, a clerk,
who was making the research was
then informed by Sickles, in conf
| dence, of Kettles overtures, and that
| in confidence, he had thrown out
Kettles bid. This was reported to
| the POstmaster-Gene and rested
until Tyner became Second-Assistan
Postmaster General. Three weeks
ago the Postmaster-General received q
letter saying that frauds were being
| committed and that counterfeit
stamp Of the Department was being
used; that by a connivance of clerks,
the figures of the lowest bids were OBJ
tanned by outsiders; that by means of
cOunterfeited stamps, bids could be
slipped in which never came before
the officers. Tyner's suspicious were
aroused and he Immediately began
an examination of KETTLES bids.
The marks on bids did not seem to be
entirely regular, and the official stamp
was submitted to the Treasury ex-
perts, who pronounced it genuine.
The Postotfice Department was not
satisfied. Special agents were charged
with the case. Baltimore engravers
were visited and clue was found
which led a Washington engraver,
Lutz, to confess that he made the
counterfeit for three men. Those
three men afterward proved to
Kettles, the contractor, and Cha
and Ratherothe, employees of the
partment, ,ee9Ho

Fight With a Grizzly.

The Anaheim Gazette SAYS terrific
combat took place on Monday, be-
tween w. Carter and Jonathan Wat
son, on the one side, and noted bear
known as "White Face" which has
long been the scourge and terror of
the Santiago mountains, which re-
suited In serious, though not fatal, in
juries to Carter, and the death of his
bearship. The gentlemen were trav-
cling through the mountains in search
OF pasture for their fiocks, when they
suddenly came upon the huge grizzly,
which immediately attacked Carter,
Knocking him down before he could
draw and cock his pistol. The bear
made two terrible bites at his breast,
tearing his flesh in the most horrible
manner, and Immediately pursued
Watson, who had retreated in order to
procure time to prepare his rifle for ac-
tion. Watson fired a ball from his
Henry rifle, which lodged behind the
fore shnplder Of the infpriated brute,
put produced no effect except to en-
rage him still more. Another shot
entered his thick hide without avail.
At the third trial the rifle missed fire
from defective cartridge. When the
bear was within six feet of Wat
son, he fired fourth shot, and sue
ceeded in sending ball through the
skull Just above the eye, which
stretched the monster at his feet. The
wounded man was conveyed to his
house, and is pow in o fair way of re-
covering from the injury. This bear
has caused much trouble in the noun
tains. and has destroyed many sheep
belonging to the San Joaquin Com
pany. They will, doubtless, be pleas
ed to hear Of his capture by the Angel
of Death,

Schools.

As the day appointed for taking a
vote of our citizens upon the school
tax question is upon us, a word fur
ither upon the subject may not be
amiss. In this age, in this country
and to this people it Were superfiuous
to argue the importance of schools.
That they are, in very truth, the "bul-
wark of our liberties is no longer a
question. The great statesman's dec
laration, that /" the destruction of our
free institutions, If 1t ever comes, will
come from the ignorance of the mass
es, = has its opposite, equally true: II
the glory of our great Republic ever
reaches its acme ii must be through
the intelligence of its people. The I'M
fiuence of education upon individuals,
communities and nations is too appar-
ent to require proof or illustration. 1t
Is written so plainly that "he who
runs may read" Whether one goes
to history or opens his eyes and locks
about him. The evidences are clear
and convincing. Il is demonstrated
that the educated man makes q better
citizen, better mechanic, farmer,
sailor, soldier, even, than the ignorant
one. 1t is anexploded theory that the
best soldier Is the man who knows
just enough and only enough to under
stand and obey orders. When an in
telligent stranger goes to a new place
with view to making a home,
about the first thing he looks to is the
| subject of churches and schools; and
he naturally forms his opinions as to
the prosperity of these largely from
the buildings belonging thereto. Now
| it must be admitted that at this time
the newcomer to Los Angeles would
not be likely to receive very favor
able impression in this respect
coming, as many OF them
do, from Eastern towns, the
elegance Of whose school and church
buildings is matter Of pride and has,
perhaps, given them exfravagani
ideas on the subject. The very no.
ticeable deficiency with respect to our
church buildings is beiug rapidly rem
edied. The present season is to wit
ness the completion of three or four
all larger and better than any that
now stand. This is good; it is just as
it ought to be. 1t Will help Los An.
geles more than three times the
amount spent upon business or dwell
ing houses. But the improvement
must be equaled and supplemented il
the way Of school buildings. Outside
of our High-school building, there i,
nothing to awaken any considerable
degree of pride In our citizens Oh
admiration in the stranger. That, in
deed, is an honor to our city; but il
cannot accommodate more than q
per cent. of the present number o
school children, and that number |.
rapidly increasing. If, then, the $40,
600 tax could be voted without dis.
senting ballot, it would speak more
loudly for the intelligence Of our peo.
pie, than any other one act could do
1t will be an investment, the com.
pounding Of whose interest beats
even the figures of life insurance
agent. A bonanza more real, solid
and enduring than Consolidated Vir.

The Cincinnati VolksbldH winds
up review of the imitation movement
in this way:
As matters are now, the question
is no longer about the Republican or
Democratic party organization, but
about an opinion from the people that
would prevent the general ruin of our
business and industry, or render it
possible. 1t is question that con-
Germs every individual in his personal
and business interests, and on the de-
cision of which it will depend wheth-
er a democratic-republican form of
government, with universal suffrage,
is to be considered as a success or
not.

A Curious Geographical Prob
lem.
From the Eclectic,1

A curious geographical problem is
suggested by the appearance at the
mouth of the Seine, near Havre, in
the course of the present month, of
one of the hermetically sealed bot
ties, in wooden cases, which were
thrown overheard during Prince Ma
poleon's North Polar expedition, in
1860. Wooden recovered bottles of
this kind were thrown into the sea
daily in the month of June of that
year from the Princes ship in the
expectation that the course taken by
them would lead to the elucidation OF
the direction of the greater oceanic
currents, but during the fourteen
and half years that have interven-
ed since then none of these bottles
have been seen till the present one
was washed ashore. Its appearance
at the mouth of the Seine seems to
indicate that's Polar current must be
borne into the German Ocean, and
must be carried thence through the
Channel to the western coast o.
France.
