WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 25, 1881.
Ex-Assistant Postmaster. General Brady
executed a coup d etat yesterday in request
ing his counsel TO 60 into court and move
for instructions to the grand jury to proceed
with the investigation OF the star-route cases.
The action of Mr.. Brady compelled Mr.,
Cook, as the representative of the govern
ment, to admit that IL had not sufficient evil
dence to lay before the grand jury to insure
indictments of parties alleged to be tainted
with the star-route frauds. Mr.. Brady's
friends say they do not see how his case can
fail TO excite public indignation that for
weeks past he has been branded all over the
country as public robber on the strength
of information furnished by the agents Of
the Government; and now, when asked TO
bring forward the proof, the Government
counsel aver that they haye none. But Mr..
Cook was very careful 10 intimate plainly
that the Government would have ample
proofs in due time, and would present them.
President Garfield is said to be also very
much interested in thorough investigation
of this matter. Perhaps in this way he
hopes 10 turn public criticism away from his
own troubles, and to give the newspapers,
which are just now uncomfortably full Of
structures on his own administration and
gossip about the last administration. And
then, again, both the Postmaster General
and the President may be aetuated in this
instance by a real desire to improve the Civ
il Service, but as they are both human and
politicians, perhaps little personal feeling
is mingled with their official conduct. The
reorganization of the Detective branch of
the Post Office Department, and the ap-
pointment of honorable and Trustworthy
men to the places now filled with irrespon-
sible characters in this Division should how
ever at once be effected, because unless this
is done reaction in favor of the Star Route
Ring will certainly very soon take place.
Another investigation is promised in De-
cember, with startling details. The testi-
mony that 100000 was spent IN the sugar
lobby last session is reported to be very con-
elusive, and at the right time Mr., Conklng.
brother Of the Senator, who is said to have
the facts, will give them out. As the inter
est involved amounts to millions of dollars,
and as the rival, clashing sugar clans have
long been at most persistent and aggressive
points, there is probably good deal of FIRE
where there has been so much smoke.
Mr.. Theophilus French the Auditor Of
Railroad accounts, aud Mr.. W. T. MoLen-
nan, Chief Of the Warrant Division, Treas
ury Department, have returned from the
Pacific Coast, where they have been exam
ining the books of the Central Pacific B. R.

found the affairs Of the road in such c,d
condition, that the amounts due the Goydi-
ment according 10 law would in no waHe

affairs appear to be in booming conditn
in the West. The ralroads are crowd
with freight, grain and cattle coming ed
ward, while every conceivable article is l.
ing transported to the west, among viii
agricultural implements largely predori-
nate.
Ex Secretary Of War Ramsey, Of Minb-
sofa, has been appointed to examine into ic
charges preferred against Superintendbt
Dodge, OF the San Francisco Mint. He vii
probably associate with himself others to ID
in the investigation.

ception Of Secretary of State Blaine hse

FROM TEXAS.


BRAoRETT, Texas, June 10, 1881.
EDIToR ADVOCATE I'm your issue of June
llth, was published a letter from DR.. W. W.
Rebor, which undoubtedly, was read with
interest by the majority of your numerous
readers, and which afforded me quite a de-
gree Of pleasure, The idea then occurred to
me that the results of my observations in
this part of the country might be of interest
TO those who have not had the occasion TO
visit the sunny Lone Star State.
Larriyed in Texas about a year ago from
New Orleans. My first impressions of it
were Of the most howerY character, coming
into the harbor of Galveston ON a beautiful
morning in May, on the elegant Morgan
line steamer, "Evangeline," with bright
prospects and great possibilities, had a tend
ency to make my first impressions quite en-
couragng. Welanded a portion of the car
go at the wharf, which permitted a short
walk through some of tho principal streets,
and then, turning our backs toward Galyes-
ton, the boat was soon ploughiDg the waters
Of Buffalo Bay, and ascending small estu-
ary We landed at Harrisburg. Here we took
the cars, and after travelling about an hour
on rather primitive railroad, arrived in
Houston, one of Texas most important
towns, the commercial center of the country
for many miles in all directions.
SO far nay first impressions were not alter
ed the vegetation was luxuriant aud the
flowers beautiful. / was in high spirits.
The people, too, created a good impression.

A DISPUTED HoSoR.-Two simultaneous
dispatches have been received by Prof
Swirl, of the Warner Observatory at Ro-
chester, N. Y, by which it appears another
great comet has been discovered. Prof
sharpless, Of Haverford College, Penusylya-
Hia, states that L. T. Edwards saw it with
The naked eye on the morning of June Esd,
aud Mr.. Edgar L. Larkin, of New Wind
sor, H., also reports seeing il aud that il is
vast. The new comet is located in the con
stellatiOn Of Auriga about s degrees from
espella, and il is not improbable that IT
may be the much expected comet of 1912
which should appear not far from that To-
eality. As the two dispatches were reeeiv-
ed in Rochester simultaneously, there is

discovery, and the Warner prize Of 5000,
