Postal Contract S,cia.dles.

WASHINGTON, March 30.-The House commit
tee on postoffices and post roads met at the post
Office building to-day. Notary Public Boone
was recalled and testified that he had bid in
the recent letting for over 400 routes, aggregat-
ing nearly 100000. His only wealth was in
his ability and his credit. He assisted Peck &
Miner in getting up bids, and in gathering in
formation on which to base the amount of
bids, and in return they provided bondsmen
for him. It appears Boone signed the bonds,
while the names Of the witnesses to his sigma
sented men with whom he was unacquainted.
Proposals were made out and Ger
titled, and dates were added afterwards,
and other conditions changed SO that
parties to such afidavits could not be
held to answer for perjury. Representative
Boone in regard to his lax business habits. He
asked witness if with such practices in view he
regarded himself as equally honest now as
when under government employ, and Boone re-
piled he did. Other members of the committee
showed Z, considerable curiosity in regard to
which State, as he testified, he was driven
away as carpet Dagger, having sunk or aban-
doned quarter of million ofdollars. He also
testified that when he came to the
State from Ohio a few years before, he
was worth about 1886, 900. Irregularities in
proposals were SHOWN Wnlcn, IN inc OPINION OF
some of the committee, would make their bids
| invalid, and should be communicated to the
postmaster general. Boone contended they
were ordinary practices among contractors,
ETC.; that the condemnation of these proposals
would do away with a large proportion of those
accepted in the recent letting, and that the
same strictness should not be required in re-
spect to the preliminary bond, providing it was
in correct and legal form, in ordinary affi-
davits, since other bonds must be prepared and
accepted by the department., which would make
| all secure.

LEO'S ALLOCUTION.
Il DOCUMENT GIVING GENERAL SAT
ISFACTION TO ITALIANS.

LONDON, March 3O.-The Times Rome
special says: Pope Leo's allocution, deliv-
cred at the ,consistory Thursday, gives the
Italians general satisfaction. The allusion
to the church's captivity is very mild. His
holiness expresses no intention to struggle
for the recovery of his temperatures. The
main stress of the allocution is laid on the
relations which it is intended should exist
between the Pope and cardinals. The
SACRED COLLEGE
typifes the council of seventy, called by
Moses to be his assistants and advisers in
the government of the people of Israel. He
wishes the cardinals to be his bystanders and
fellow laborers, and lest it should be thought
that merely unmeaning words fell from his
lips, he expresses all the reliance he puts on
their wise counsel,
TRUSTING ANneBEaa1ke
it may never fail him. It was the dearest
wish of the council of Trent that the admin
istration of the universal church should rest
on the council of cardinals. This, says the
Times correspondent, is clear hint of a re-
turn to the
OLD CONSTITUTION OF THE CHURCH,
and the reference to the council of Trent
seems plainly intended as repeal of the
Vatican council, which by declaring Pope
Plus TX infalible, entitled him to dispense
with the advice of either the college or coun-
Gil. To the vatican synod itself, to the pro-
clamation of the
DOGMA OF AVAILABILITY,
or of that of the Immaculate conception
and to all the acts of Plus TX, except the
reconstruction of the Scottish hierarchy, nc
allusion whatever is made in the allocution
The acts of the deceased Pope has been
sanctioned by the church, and must stand, but
Pope Leo seems to think that the least
said about them will be the soonest mended
By his choice of cardinal Di Pietres, one OF
the youngest and decidedly the most liberia
of the cardinals, as Camerlingo, the Pope
confirms the hope of those conciliatory
views which were always thought to animate
him and which were expected to actuate hi
policy in his dealing with civil powers.

Price OF Lumber and Buildin0 Prospects.
Although many have predicted dull

Although many have predlcted dull
summer in the building line, on account of
the short crop of logs, which, it is thought,
will have tendency to increase the price of
lumber, it is reported, by those who ought
to be able to judge such matters correctly,
that such an event will, probably, not occur.
The reason for thinking thus is said to be
the fact that, while lumber may he higher,
labor and other requisites are cheaper than
last year, and will thus balance
the account. Close figuring demonstrates
to ones entire satisfaction that buildings
may be erected fully as cheap as last season,
and on unusually brisk season is anticipated.
1t is hoped this will prove the case, and from
the activity in that line at present there is
scarcely doubt of it.

WASHINGTON, March 24.-There is no

court. Until within few days it has been
the expectation that it would be ready to2in-
troduce to morrow. The understanding is
that the bill is already drawn, but that events
in Louisiana have made further delay neces-
sary. It cannot be ascertained who has the
bill in possession, but it is known that the
movement had it's origin with Mr.. Tilden
and his New York legal advisers. The pur-
pose of the bill is to give the supreme court
full machinery for prosecuting all branches
of such q case.

Mr.. Thomas G. Sherman and some other
prominent members of Mr.. Beecher's
church, seem to be responsible for the fol-
lowing interview, printed to-day, with refer
ence to the rumored reconciliation of Theo-
dore Tiiton and his wife. Mr.. Sherman is
represented as saying that Tilton has for
some time been trying to effect rconcilia-
ton with his wife; that at first she refused
to have anything to do with him, but finally
consented to live with him again, if he would
make full retraction of everything he had
alleged against her character. This Mr.. Til
ton refused to do. Tilton had a long inter
| view with his wife recently, and the result
was that definite arrangements had been
made whereby they were soon to be reunited
as man and wife and go to Europe together.
The rumors of this reconciliation are cred
tied among the greater part of Mr.. Beecher's

RUSSIA AND ENGLAND.

Having Neglected Nothing to Secure Eu-i
ropean Peace, Russia Awaits, Arms In

England Complains of bad Faith and
Continues Her War Preparations.
ST.. PETERSBURG, March 3O.-The Journal
de st. Petersburg publishes an article be-
ieved by many to be semi official, on Eng
lands attitude. Referring to Lord Beacons-
fields speech in the House of Lords, Thurs
in the Mediterranean is only threatened by
the presence of the British feet in the sea
of Marmora and England's possession of
Gibralter and Malta The article continues
as follows: 'sThe calling out of the reserves,
Notwithstanding the statement it does not
imply war, is another step in the path of
provocation. Russia has fulfilled all
of her promises. She did not
insert in the treaty of San Stefano a
single stipulation clashing with the inter
ests or injuriously affecting them by its res
ervations. Russia is conscious of having
neglected nothing which could secure to the
East an era Of prosperity and to Europe long
years of peace. She will deeply deplore the
alterations which may counterfeit her pa
cifc work, but at the same time she will
await, arms in hand, any attempt to dispute
the fruits of her sacrifice, which no threats
will induce her to relinquish."
VIEWS OF THE ssTHUNDERER.'
LONDON, March 3O.-The Times in an
editorial say, peither the objects Russia pro-
claimed at the outset nor the events of the
war, justified her advance upon Constantine
pie or her approach to the Bosphorus and
Dardanelles. As long as she remains in that
menacing position we shall feel it necessary
to retain our ships in the sea of Marmora,
and SO long consequently will peace be un-
certain. It is Russia who has trespassed
upon the forebearance of England, not Eng
land who has shown lack of consideration
for her. That forbearance has now been
strained to its utmost limits, but nothing but
necessity would induce us to assert our rights
by force, and timely and temperate conces-
sion on the part of the Russian cabinet
would, without in the least degree compro-
missing the interests of Russia, insure the
peace of Europe.
LONDON, March 3O.-Correspondents Of
provincial journals say the belief is current
that some step for the safe guarding Of
British interests, like the entry of the fee
into the Black sea or the occupation of Gal
ipoli has been determined upon.
In the silver market the activity of tn,
last few days has disappeared, and is followed
by slight reaction 1t is believed the re
cent large American order is now completed
