the passage of the Star route bill. There
is reason to believe that large sums oil
money were spent by those who repre-.
scented the mail contractors and the most
| prominent Of those representatives was
Joe" Mekibben, formerly a congress
man from California. Having once
been a congres smsn, this msn had the

made use of it. After the amendments

and Senate and thoroughly debated, the

the vote in its favor in the House had

ishment of al who had been watching
the struggle, concurred in the Sebate's
action. This was victory for the Star
rdute contractors and their skillful lon
byists. The most sturdy DEFENDER of
these contractors in the Senate, and the
man who probably did more than any
other TO preserve to them the great add
tons TO their pay which had been be-
slowed upon them by Mr.. Brady. was

from Gloucester, Mass, June u, for
London, having on-5oard Captain Geo.
P. Thomas and Frederick Norman, was

board the steamer Bulgaria.
Lond)n, 5.-The London correspon-
dent of the Edinburgh Scotsman says be
heard that government has received in
formation from Ireland that unless the
compensation Observation-Disclosures
bill is passed, public tranquility will be
endangered. The land agitation is still
kept up, and branches of the Land
League are being formed in every town
in the west of Ireland. The tone of the
speakers at the meetings is suggestive OF
lurking mischief, which will have to be
watched. 1t plainly indicates political
purpose beyond the mere acquisition OF
land, and to which latter object it is sub
ordinate but contributory.
| Vienna, 8.-A dispatch says that the
news published in London that the
Porte had sent the powers q protest
against the decisions of the Berlin con-
ference is absolutely unfounded.
A dispatch from Pera says the Porte
still hesltates as to what attitude it shall
assume towards the Berlin award. The
ultimate decision will greatly depend on
Goshen's ability to impress the sultan
and his ministers with the conviction
that the powers will resort to force, il
necessary. If the Turks see the slightest
chance of division among the powers
they will resist the occupation by Greece
Of the territory awarded.

DeGolyer and Mcclellan, Of Chica-

in Washington City, 100000 yards
of wood pavement, at the enormous
price of 50 80 per yard. Good, hon.
est and responsible contractors offer.
ed to do the work for 81 so per
yard, and the Superintendent of the
contractors himself subsequently
stated under oath that 81 90 was
good price. Hence there was a clear
profit or "steal" Of 90 per yard in
every yard Of the 200-or the total
sum of s4OO, 900. To get the iniquit-
GUS job through Congress-for the
appropriation Of it had to be made,
money had to be used. Garfield
was Chairman Of the Committee on
appropriations. July IL, 1872, as it
was afterwards proven before an In.

Garfield took the sum Of 5000 as
his share Of the corruption fund to

1t is astonishing what all, the
nomination Of Garfield is proof of.
Some fellows say it is an endorse
ment Of the virtue and honesty Of
Hayes administration. It proves
that Grant was not the man. It is
conclusive evidence that Blaine was
not wanted. Itsatisfes most people
that Shernan's policy was not right.
Itshows that Washhurn couldn't get
the nomination. It notified Window
that he was not a good dark horse,
