The Star Route RascaIiIy.

Special to the Courier onrnal.l
WASHINGTON, April 30.-Ex-Sena-
tor Dorsey has joined the band of dis
turbed star route swindlers now here
to look after their suffering interests
and regulations. These gentlemen
are on the qui vive; they have sum
moned their well trained lobby and
attorneys and are working with des-
pprate zeal in all the devious ways and
with powerful agencies so familiar 10
them. 1t is impossible to foretell
what effect their exertions will have,
as the result of the investigation in
progress at the post Office department
are carefully kept from the public.
Dorsey himself was authority to the
western associated press reporter for
the statement that the postmaster
general exonerated him from all com.
plicity with the star service affair, and
had promised to write a letter to the
president declaring that nothing
against Dorsey has been discovered.
This is denied at the post Office de-
partment by the best authority. This
denial is that any promise was made
or that any such letter will be written
1t can be stated that the president
since the threats of the alleged staI
route ring to attack him, has r%eitera.
ted his determination to go to the bot
tom of the matter.

Difficulty in Obtaining Sailors
for the Arctic Expedition.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 90 Serious
difficulty has been met in getting sail
ors for the Mary and Helen for the
approaching cruise in the Arctic in
search of the Jeanette. To-day one
hundred men applied at the captains
office, but only about a quarter Of
these we're found physically compe-
tent.
Of these not a single nan could be
secured at the wages the government
offers, $22 per month. Able seamen
all declare they could not afford to en-
dure the hardships ard risk of danger
of an Arctic cruise for less wages than
they could get on a deep sea voyage.
just now there is a great lack of good
sailors in port, and yesterday, as stated
in these dispatches, a crew of China
men was shipped for Cork at $25 per
month. The captain of the Mary and
Helen said this evening he thought
the only chance to get started by June
1st would be to send east for the re
quired number of sailors.

TIE WRITE ROSE OF MEMPHIS.


Col. W. G. Falkner's thrilling story,
THE White Rose of Memphis" now
running through the Ripley Mississip
pi Advertiser, and shortly to be pub
lished in book form by the Appletons,
is likely to be read and have big run.
No one can read a chapter without
becoming deeply interested. Per-
SOM and incidents are intro
duced which, if not recognized,
have at least had their counterpart in
and around Memphis. Many Of these
are connected with the courts. In
n chapter a poor mar who had a
starving family is hauled up for steal
ing a piece of meat, and is sentenced
to serve two years in the %penitentiary
The next defendant wa a snowy indi-
vid lal with a pale face, white hands
and elegant dress, named Anderson,
charged with embezzling the little
SUN of $4,000 belonging to sundry
widows and orphans of the good city
Of Memphis, Shelby county. He had
a dozen or so lawyers to defend him,
among them a Mr.. Fullbrain, Hogjaw,
Bulger and others. 1t was argued
that the indictment was defect
i've because the t" in Anderson was
not crossed. The court sustained
the exception, and Mr.. Anderson was
restored speedily to the bosom of his
weeping family. This is one of the
passages that will attract attention.
The story is full of pathos, and all the
way through takes the side of virtue
against vice the weak against the
strong, and woman against vilIainOus
man. Splendid types of both sexes,
however, are presented, and it will be
seen that the writer draws more from
real life than upon the resources of
Imagination. The wonder is that a
middle-aged man, not given to liter
airy work, a railroad president, a large
planter, a practicing lawyer and active
business man, could find time to
construct and work out such
a book. In it he holds the mirror up
to nature, and tells some truths that
cut like a two. edged sword. Yet it
runs smoothly, and will no doubt wind
up like other novels, or a play, with a
wedding, and lot of happy people.
Mississippi is coming to the front.
Jefferson Davis is writing up the war,
Cleburne a history of the state, Sim
mons has become a bard, and Falkner
is bringing out a thrilling romance
founded on facts and observation.

The New York Democrats.

An Unexpectedly large vote was
polled at the democratic primaries
held in New York city on tuesday
night, under the auspices Of the com
mittee of one hundred. At the Tam
many primaries only 5000 votes were
cast, whereas the new Organization
brought 26,l2O democratic voters 10
the polls to give expression TO their
opposition to the Tammany maj ayers.
Delegates were chosen from the "a
assembly districts, who will represent
the New York county democracy" in
the local management until the regu-
lar primaries are held. The large
vote polled and the interest taken in
the movement by prominent citizens
who are not in the habit Of attending
primary elections gave great encour.
sgemeut to the leaders of the anti.
Tammany wing of the democratic
party. The real struggle for the con.
troll OF the party organization will take
place next September.

TENNESSEE %REFUNDING.
Preparations for Issuing The New
Bonds About the Middle
Of June.

New York World
Colonel NJ. II. Polk, state treasurer
of Tennessee, and Major j. N. Nolan,
state controller, have been in this city
for some days past on business con-
nected with the refundiqg of the Ten
nessee state debt, and will return
home in a day or two. Colonel Polk
said yesterday: 1--WE came to make
arrangements in regard to the print
ing OF the new bonds, in accordance
with the recent act of the legislature.
The terms OF the contract have been
agreed upon and sent to Governor
Hawkins at Nashville for his ratiica-
ton. The statement that he was going
to remain away from Tennessee to
avoid a possible injunction is entirely
untrue. The contract for printing
the new bonds is on the basis Of au
issue OF $25, 900, 900. About 81, 300,-
800 OF the total debt Of $27 100000 is
held by the federal government in
trust for the Indians, and could not
be refunded except by congress, and
100000 is held by charitable and edu.
cational institutions. These last
bonds are not affected by the refund.

service is concerned he is an honest
man, or words to that effect. He
might have added that he has also
been a fortunate man, as was shown
incidentally in the few details about
star route No. 40,l04, owned by Dor
sew, in which his agent (RerdelD tes-
titled on oath that, the original con-
tract being for $9OOOa year, Dorsey
received at one time at the rate of
$4,000 a year, and paid the sub-cOn-
tractor, JENNINGS, who put in all the
money and performed the contract, at
the rate of only $28, 900 a year, max
ing a clear gain, by the help of Brady,
of $4,000 a year to Dorsey for doing
nothing except holding the contract.
