WAsH1NeToN, September 29+-In regard
to the postmastetship Of Boston II appears
that the Postmaster. General is officially
satisfied with the administration of General
Burt. He has made no complaints to- the
President, hut he was not satisfied With TIE
failure on the part sf General Burt to file
his bond. General Burt was appointed and
confirmed in March, 1875, and during the
spring It was arranged between the Post
master-General and himself that his new
bond should be $3.50, 900. The bond not
being forthcoming, on the, third Of August
General Burt was written to that any fur
ther delay on his part would be taken as an
intimation that he did not desire longer to
hold the office. Ten days ago the Auditors
office again notified the Post tmaster- General
that this bond had not been received, upon
which the Postmaste General laid the case
Before the President, stating that he did not
feel authorized to wait any longer, and that
he had notified General Burt to that effect
and recommending that he be requested to
resign, and that Mr.. Edward 5. Tobey be
offered the place. 4ianD ~ r. n1F"lo 5irH
Yesterday General Burt appeared at the
department and stated that his tond would
be here to-day, upon W hich the, Postmaster II
General again telegraphed the President to
know if he should accept it, to which the
President replied, directing that the bond
Should be filed AMI no further .ction
be taken. This is not question of anyl
maladministration on the part of Genera
Burt, but simply one of delay in the filing
OF his bond. If the people of Boston are
not satisfied with General Burt as Postmas-
ter they have neglected to say SO to the
Postmaster General. The department has
no criticisms to make upon the administra-
tion of the Office. -.'. "0G q

HIS FAMILY NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
EuG .ts FACTS CONCERNING HIM. D,.I gd
There has been considerable speculation
in regard to the antecedents of the man
found dead in st. James grove on Tuesday,
and the 'strangeness of the affair has
caused considerable interest. Up to yester-
day noon nothing additional had been heard
regarding the matter, and the despatch to
the agent at Chads Ford remained unaD-
swered, but since then the coroner has been
in receipt of information which will lead
probably to some explanation of the strange
affair.
j. In the afternoon, the following dispatch
was received from John Forsyths. to whom
the receipt found in the dead mans pocket
for a basket of perches been shipped by
Chas. s. Willing, from Philadelphia:
sts nsCHADs FORD, Pa, Sept %.
Coroner: Chas. D. Welding, left my home
to 60 to Saml. G. Eastburns g. Co.'s store,
corner of Eighth and Arch streets, 'Phtfa.,
about the 25th of August, last. His father
resides in Brooklyn, Ny. Charles was
man about 80 years of age, and from the re-
ceipt found on his person, copy Of which .
was received here; it is undoubtedly the :.
same man.
A telegram has also been received from j.,
his father in Brooklyn, who directs that the
body be kept until he can come down, which
will be to-day. Inquiries by a reporter, Of
the HERALD have elected the fact that Mr..
Welding is gentleman of some means, who
is in business in Brooklyn, but nothing fur
ther in regard to his family has been ascer-
tanned as yet. " "' '3 " II
D. O'C. Fox, ESQ.,, who has charge of the
body, went up to Philadelphia yesterday and
made inquiries, which developed some facts
in regard to the past life of; young w elding,
which he seemed loath to give to-, the HER
AID reporter. sra
Mr.. Fox states, however, that he has been
in wholesale commission house in Philadell
phia, in capacity, of salesman, and has been
considered quite respectable gentleman.
Further than this, Mr.. Fox though evidently
in possession of facts bearing upon the death
OF Welding, would say nothing in reply to a
question as to whether anything had oc-
Cured lately of an extraordinary character
IN the life OF the dead man, he admitted that
there had, and when further pressed as to-
such occurrences would lead to a.
possible suicide, Mr.. Fox replied that
" 'oAA oonio oleohs, especially OF O sensitive
nature, it might very possibly lead to some
'hng OF the kind, while others might not
DC so much affected. Evidently there Is
something behind all this, which will be
'itted sooner or later. As to his movements
within the past few days, nothing can be a.
'ertained, and the affair assumes 4 phase
most extraordinary and mysterious. Wei
ing has quite number of acuuaiutancea
