Judge Aey On The Star Service,

A Nashville Banner reporter in>
terviewed Judge Key on the Star
route service with the following
result:
R" What do you think of the
newspaper charges against Gen.
Brady? 2"
J, XII do not believe they are
true. I think Gen. Brady was one
Of the ablest and best officers that
ever presided over the central
bureau Of the department. There
is not word or figure that is new
in these charges We had the same
thing two years ago"
R." Did not Brady do an un-
usual amount OF expedition?"
j. K.-"Yes. He had to do it.
The country is divided into four dis
visions. Service is put upon these
once in four years, and each year of
the four places service on one of the
divisions. The division west of the
Mississippi has all the great Star
routes. This was the first division
advertised under my administration.
Times were hard, and the mines Ian
gushing. Under this state of things,
as slow schedules are always cheap.
Brady arranged his schedules on
slow time everywhere in the division
By the time the biddings were open
ed and the contracts awarded, busi-
ness had improved and the times
began to boom, Men by thousands
were rushing westward. New mines
were discovered and cities sprang up
III day. The consequence was, that
mail routes had, many of them, to be
increased and expediated both. Con-.
gressmen and the people demanded
that it should be done, and business
required it. ~ .
R.-"But the papers state that
congressman have participated in
Bradys alleged peculations
}. Il" ! have no sort of notion
that any Congressman has acted
cOrruptly. During the three and a
half years [ presided over the De.
partment, no member Of Congress,
OF either party, ever approached any
officer of my department, 50 far as [
heard or knew, with corrupt propo
sition. Nor do [ believe there was
one amongst them, but who would
have scOrned to do So
r." [ believe you stated that the
Star service is especially important
to the South and West.
). * - Yes. When I took charge
of the department I soon ascertained
that these sections were wofully de-
1clent IN their postal facilities, and I
undertook to give them such ser
wee as thought justice demanded
A people who have no railway or ex-
press conveniences need postal ones.
The government monopolizes the
carrying of the mails, and as private
or corporate enterprises are not
allowed to serve the people in this
respect, the government ought to see
to 1t that a people thus situated shall
be well supplied with mail facilities.
They are the very citizens who need
the fostering care of a paternal gov
ernment.

Report OF HrOCS5O1dSS VI oAAS ~A
ate in Extraordinary Session.
WASHINGTON, May 6.-The Vice
President laid before the Senate a
communication from the Attorney
General, transmitting a copy of the
answer of J. T. Lewis, I. S. Marshal
for the Western District Of Vir
ginia, to the report of G. G. LANCASTER,
special agent of the Treasury Depart.
ment. It was ordered printed,
Mr.. Dawes then took the floor, con-
graduating the Senate on that dis
patch of public business which en-
abled it this morning to take up
again and consider and, he trusted,
adopt the resolution which he had
submitted in March. He did not
ask any Senator to vote for the reso-
luton, but he deemed it a right
which lie had under the rules
and Constitution to have it vot-
ed upon. [ invoke, he continued,
address ng the Vice-President, at
your hands the protection Of the
Constitution of the United States in
the assertion of my individual right
here in this Senate to vote on the
resolution [ have offered here within
it's rules and within it's legitimate
functions, and WEIGH is now the only
business before the Senate.
Mr.. Harris replied that he had
hoped that the Senator had risen for
the purpose of moving to go into
executive session. During the past
two or three days the Senate DIS
patched large proportion Of the
public business, but more remained
unconsidered and undisposed of.
He therefore moved to proceed to
the consideration of executive busi-
ness. Lost; yeas Is, nays u.
Mr. Pentleton moved 10 adjourn.
Lost; yeas 20, nays p.
Mr.. Dawes then said that the last
two motions having been of a dila-
tory character, disclosed the fact
that the Senators were determined,
in the face of the Constitution, to
prevent vote upon the resolution.
he conld not resist that fact further
to-day, and would therefore move tc
90 into executive session. This mo
ton was, at 12.25, agreed to, amid
some derisive laughter on the Demo
cratic side.
The executive session lasted unit
O'Clock, when the doors were re-
opened, and the Senate adjourned
until Monday.

Destroying Corner Marks,

tits penitentiary offense to destroy q
corner stone, stake or tree, as the case may
be, and our criminal court consumes con,
siderable time of late in the trial of case
for the violation of this law. Yesterday
Jacob Reed, an aged citizen of the lower end
of the county, was acquitted of the charge
of destroying a corner stake, the persecuton
being G. w. May. At the last term of the
court there was verdict of guilty, but q
new trial was granted. The jury has now
in hands the case of A. B. French, charged
with the same offense. This case comes
from the upper end of the county, and
Abel James, colored, is prosecutor.

Hopeless &.Hagei&1e&.

Special to the Cincinnati Commercial.
WAsHINGToS, May 4.-Whateyer
may be the final result of the break
in the Senate deadlock, it is now
quite evident thet Gorham and Rid
dleberger will not be elected to the
positions to which they were mons
mated. One of the most prominent
of the Democratic Senators said to-
day that they did not intend to al
low Riddleberger to be elected either
at regular session or an Irregular
One-in December or any other time.
He based his remarks upon the
fact that while the Democrats could
not themselves elect q man, they
could keep one from being elected,
and would do SO if q nominee rs OBJ
jectiOnable Us Riddleberger was put
before them. The objections to Hi:-
dleberger rests solely upon the
ground that he is the representative
of Mr.. Malone and the new dispen-
sation in Virginia. The Democrats,
IN effect, cry out take any form out
that. 1t IS now apparent that the
Objection against RlddIeberger is SO
earnest among the Democratic Sena
tors that he cannot be elected AS
to Gorham, there is no especial OBJ
Jecuon to him among the Dem
ocrats any more than to any
other Republican but his weak
ness Is on the Republican side,
and grows out of his attacks on the
President IN the columns of GenaraJ
Bradys newspaper, which Go,ham
controls. Senator Hawley is re,
ported to have given vent to what
other Republican Senators feel, and
to have declared that he would not
now vote for Gorham, on account OF
the latter treatment of the Presi-
dent. Mr.. Gorham denies that there
Is any feeling against him which vii
control the vote of single Repub-
hcan Senator. In this he is undoubt
edly mistaken.
