THE POST OFFICE FRAUDS.
& Route where iu Cost One Thousand
Dollars for Every Letter carri,d.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1l.-The attempt 20
cross examine Holbrook was made toda,
by Cannon and Sessions, the two Republi-
can members Of the committee on post
Offices and post roads, who have constitu-
ted themselves the special counsel of the
post Office department and ring contrac-
tors. They were again brought to grief,
and finally gave up the witness as a tough
customer. They wanted to make it appear
that he had never given the department
any information which he had obtained in
regard to the frauds in letting contracts or
in performing mail service. The sDecia!
counsel were not little taken aback when
Holbrook presented an affidavit which he
had made on May Is. 1874, in which he
swears that he had overhead Underwood
: special agent of the post Office depart
lent, say to Whitaker, clerk in the de-
ar ment, that he had inspected the route
from Indianola to Walla Walla, aud re
ported that the service there was unneces-
sary, and that thereupou the service had
been reduced, but that subsequently it was
again increased. The result, as far as
Underwood was concerned, was reduc-
ton OF his pay, and he was notified that
unless he was less officious be would DC
dlSmlSSeC.
The Postmaster at N,al,a Walla, one
Charles Moore, who kept record Of all
mail natter passing over the route Cor six
months, wro letter, heretofore printed
in the San, in which he said that it had
cost tie government nearly 81, 900 for each
liter carried; but in the face OF tits
service was continued. Moore was removed,
and an agent of the contractor was ap,
nointed in his place The route was let
eriginally for $4,000 a year; but the straw
bidder failed, and contract was made
with G. G. Hunticy for 22,9O0 a year.
An additional trip was ordered on JULY
90. 1870, and $1,000 added to the pay oil
the contractor. In the following Angus,
another Increase was ordered, and 4,60(
added to the pay. In December, 1872
two additional trips were added and the
pay increased, sa that the entire amount
paid was 81 200 year

to use any outward applications, can read
iIy find relief; Tor the Resolyent. by pro-
ceeding to the foundation of the trouble,
removes it more securely than any cos
lnetic. In the cure OF kidney diseases, and
the bidder complaints. even of the very
worst types, this medicine is certain
remedy, while it is an absolute remedy for
ovarian tumors in every stage of their de
velopement. For those afflicted by troub-
les of the digestive organs DR.. Railways
Regulating Pills prove unsurpassed as
curative power, and their results are not
less admirable and astonishing than the eff
fects of the preparations already men,
toned.
OF the unrivalled value o. these medi-
cines it would be difficult to speak too high
ly. They have been before the public for
quarter OF century, and the sale
though long enormous, is steadily increas-
ing. No other medicines have gained a
similar sale or favor. and they have been
constantly used and Endorsed by the medi
cal faculty, while every day witnesses
new acknowledgment of their worth.
OF course medicines of such extraordi
nary popularity will be, and from time to
time are, counte:feited and initiated. Some
of these are exceedingly dangerous to all
but careful purchasers because the style
of bottle, its size and shape, likewise the
labels in color and style of printlng-even
similarity of name-all are adopted to
deceive the unwary. Such limitations are
of course, absolutely worthless in them
selves-to the patient worse than worth
less, because they strike for death when
the patient is struggling for life.
The business operations of Railway aud
Company are conducted on an immense
scale, which their great wealth enables
them to maintain even in seasons of tinan-
cial depression. There is probably no firm
in America more honest, conscientious,
and generous in all business and private
transactions. Their advertising enterpris-
es are perhaps unparalleled, and they may
justly congratulate themselves upon hav
ing founded commercial establishment
from which there issues nothing which,
does not benefit mankind, and upon con
Quoting its enormous business with skill,
integrity, and degree of success which
could scarcely exist without their we'll
known integrity and manly qualities, aud
which will cause their firm to be long re-
nembered in commercial annals.

Coming Together.

The General Conference of the
Northern Methodist Church, now in
session at Baltimore, have not only
passed resolutions looking to a union
of all the Methodists in the United
States, but have actually constituted a
committee to adjust the differences by
mutual concessions, to repair injuries,
and re establish general, thorough
determination. 1t is not the province
of the COURIER to have aught to say
on religious questions, but in an effort
so fraught with good to the general
public it must feel lively interest.
The united Methodist Churches would
not only constitute the strongest reli-
gious rganization in the United States,
but their coming together would do
more to cement political brotherhood
than any other movement now possible.
The feeling between the two organiza-
tons, North and South, has been
rankorous, and it will not now be easy
to effect reconciliation. The North
ern Church, has unfortunately, in its
fold, number of political Bishops
and preachers, such as the Massachu-
sets gentleman, who openly sought to
commit his Annual Conference to the
Grant third term project; but, hap
PLY these elements are disappearing.
1t behooves all good people, regard
less of sectarian views, to aid the great
movement.
