1t is explained that the govern
ment is in no hurry to prosecute the
Star route swindlers, and that it is
not likely the matter will receive the
attention of the courts until next
fall. That is to say, the admins
tration has two objects in view in
this delay. First, the rascals whom
it is not expedient to prosecute may
have time to fix things, and second,
that no unpleasant exposures may
be made until after the fall elections.
After all evidence eliminating the
administration leaders is gotten out
of the way, and all traces of the cor
rupt way in which Indiana was car.

The returns from the local elec-

Frank Wolf, the saloouist, who
was stabbed by Charles Cline, at Ar
canum, Darke county, OF the 21st Of
May, died on Friday morning last.
He was fully conscious up 20 twelve
hours before his death, and enter

wounded. The post-mortem held at
8 Q. m. showed that the wound was
a deadly one, having partly cut one
rib and penetrated the liver, the
blood settling around the latter OF
gan, thereby causing his death
That he was a man of an extraordin.
arily strong constitution was shown
by the fact that, after he received the
fatal thrust he walked into his So
loon, and, while getting his revolve'
from a drawer, his bar-keeper in
quired what was the matter, where
upon he answered, 81 am done for

filed with blood, and then, in hi
thirst for revenge, he hunted tn,
town over for a period o. three hour
but failed to run across Cline, as b

Colonel Fred. Conkling, Roscoe's
brother has made the startling de-
claration that certain members of
the last Congress were bribed by the
sugar refiners to kill the Legislation
asked by the sugar merchants. One
member of the Ways and Means
Committee got 100000, according
to Colonel Conkling, and the manner
in which the sugar lobby conducted
itself was shameful. Colonel Conk-
ling declines to give names, but says
he will ideal with the matter at his
own time and in his OWE way" II
is entirely probable thar this is a
move in behalf of Roscoe, and that
the threat of exposure is to be held
over the Republicans until they are
bulldozed into returning Conkling
and Platt to the Senate.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondents.
WASHINGTON, d. c., l.
June /. 1881.


If the contest at Albany were an
ordinary one, some Republicans pre-
ferring a certain person for Senator
and others preferring another, l would
not mention it in these letters. 1t
would not be of Importance. 1t
would excite little interest there or
elsewhere. But this is exactly what
the contest is not. On the n side
is Conkling, and on the other side
not a man or men, but the admins
tration. Every personal friend who
deserts Conkling's cause does so De
cause "the administration" 10 be-
lieved to be against Conkling. There
are two reasons why the administra-
ton, though it may prevent the i'm
mediate return of Conkling, can
neither suppress him nor gain per,
manent strength in the State. First
he is incomparably the ablest man
in his party in New York, has been
it's unuuestioned leader for many
years, and controls more votes than
make up the balance OF power" De-
tween the parties in the State. Sec
ond-the opposition to him is led by
a mass of selfish and Jealous men OF
only small ability-scheming, shy,
sham "reformers," who a neither
agree with each other nor with them
selves for any length.o of time. Uni
ted by a common enmity and by pa
tronage now they will begin to quar-
rel amongst themselves as soon as
the pressure is removed and the
spoils come to be divided. After
the next election, unless my opinion
is entirely wrong, a new Republican
party will need to be constructed in
New York, out of what will be little
more than mob, and the man who
will have the strongest following will
be Conkling.
In previous letters Ihave mention
ed an investigation into the Treas
ury Department, by which pecu.a
ton was believed to have been shown
on the part of the late Chief Clerk
now assistant Secretary, the Super
intendent Of the Building, and 9th
