President Garfield survived. President Ar
thur had assured James and McVeagh
THERE MUST NJ NO NlsTAEE
as TO his purpose towards all persons
who had been guilty Of fraud towards the
Government: and that II there had been y
Star Route Ring, and the Government had
been defrauded, he wanted the guilty par.
ties punished. General James informed
the President that he was satisfied OF the
frauds, and ii he was to remain even tenn
porarily at the head Of the Post
office Department. he would in
sist OH having the support, and as
sistanCe in the exposure Of the wrong
doing, to which he ielt entitled; that the
President knew he did not desire to en-
barrass him for one moment by remaining
in his Cabinet any longer than the Presi.
dent preferred, but so long US he remained
lie was determined to perform the duties
Of his place in the interest Of the people,
The President assured General James that
his earnest desire was for him to
REMAIN WHERE lie WAS, AND CONDUCT THE
DEPARTMENT
as he had done since he took charge of 1t,
adding that the whole country had APP
plauded his (JamesD administration. II
was not long till the Star route ring asCer-
tained that President Arthur could not be
deceived intogiyingt them any countenance,
and this seemed to be their lust hope. One
Of the highest officials OF the Postottice De.
partment informed the Western Associated
Press agent to-day that In the past thirty
six hours several persons connected with
the ring had surrendered ndturned states
evidence,
This official said he was not at liberty us
yet to give the names OF these persons, us
their testimony will be before the grand
Jury, but 1t is pretty well understood TINT
Walsh, formerly Of New Orleans, who
brought, few months ago, several suits
against Brady for the recovery OF money, Is
one OF them. Walsh has been In the star
route business long time and
KNOWS THE HISTORY OF THE RING FROM ITS
INCEPTION,
lie sued Brady to recover money he let
Brady have and which tho latter never
paid. 1t was pretty well understood that
Walsh and Brady fell outabout theamount
the former was to pay for certain contract
privileges, The official referred to said the
men who had gone back on the ring, con-
Cluded that there was no other way to stve
themselves; that the government had
already proof enough to convict them
aud they would save themselves
by divuIging all they knew, the
Governmentwill conclusivly prove the con-
splrlcy, and unless some Of the accused
parties Jump the counter they will proba-
bly be in n tight place before long. The
action Of President Arthur in removing
Star, postmaster at Deadwood, was Il
revelation to the ring, The star
route ring did not know that
Star had made written confession
detailing all the fraudulent operations OF
the ring in the northwest. For some
months past ono OF the most efficient in
spectators OF the Postollice Department has
been secretly investigating the manage
ment Of the Deadwood PostolIice, and
when he confronted the Postmaster with
his proofs the latter confessed
The Presidents prompt removal Of Star
indicated to the ring that they
COULD NOT EXPECT ANY MERCY
from him, and the result was an immedi-
alc tender Of other Coniessions which makes
the chain Of evidence complete, not only
In regard to the Star rontc, but Ns to all
other matters connected with the Postoiiice
Department, Pie President Is In full ac-
cord with james, and It is said by those in
position to know that James will remain at
the head OF the department. Ifhe does First
Assistant Postmaster General Tyner will
have to go, and that very soon. Tyner llas
never been in sympathy with James I'D
ministration Of the department, and he lins
bClittled the star route prosecutions from
the first and predicted that they would end
in smoke. II Is asserted that had not Pres
ident Garfield been shot Tyner would long
ago have been removed. II Is very certain
tint James will not permit him to remain
in the department II he continues ut the
head.
Senator Ingalls,, Chairman Of the Judi.
cinry Subcommittee OH Bankrupt Law,
will remain here till the Senate meets, In
order to get clear Of a vast mass Of cores
pondence on the subject. The Sub.Com-
mittee had intended to visit several large
cities TO hear suggestions from business
men on the subject, but will be Obliged to
abandon the intention till after the called
session. The Senator expressed d thorough
confidence in tho wisdom and ability Of
President Arthur, who, he says, Is u
thoroughly sate-poised man, and exhibited
no furry in his trying position. He thinks
NEW CABINET
will bo formed, and that 1t will I've repre-
sentative Of the present hopes and aims Of
the Republican party. Upon the question
Of the organization OF the Senate he SAID:
"a temporary majority Of the Democrats
have tiopower 10 elect presiding officer,
and there will be some among the Senators
of that party who will insist upon the use
Of that power, but not all are no resolved.
The attendance upon the funeral OF the
late President threw together members Of
the two parties both Of the Senate
and House. A free interchange Of opinion
upon the political situation resulted in All
agreement tint Conference Of Re.
publican and Democratic Senators
should be held previous to the meeting OF
the SENATE TO devise q satisfactory c0mprO-
mise. This, Mr.. ingalls, thought would be
attained BY the selection OF Republican
presiding officer, and of Democratic sec
retary, and some other officers, probably
including the Sergeant at Arms.
In reply TO the question, Ntr. ingalls,
