manner of life he led. The young man as

where he boarded. The invitation was accep-

the young man called for his bill, which he

delighted, lbeing ignorant Of the fact that the
amount of the bill to be presented had been
previously agreed upon between his sou and

advantage of cheap rates and good fare, and
invited dozen friends to dine with him at

Wedding Out

SOME OF THE GREAT STAR ROUTE FRAUDS.
Cincinnati Commercial Special
As the Star route prosecutions go on there
will be a general wedding out of dishonest
postmasters in the far western States and
territories. There are believed to be over
200 postmasters implicated in theStar route
fraud. They have been paid, as were the
postmasters at Deadwood and Sidney, for
certifying to the performance of mail ser
vice which was never performed. The great
est fraud in the Star service was the failure
on the part of the contractors to do the
service they agreed 10 perform. In very
many instances no pretense of carrying the
mails over the entire length of the large
routes was made, the false certificate OF
postmasters along the line only being ne
cessary to enable the contractors to draw
pay. Congress at its next session will be
asked to enact law which will severely
punish postmasters so offending

Col. Nugent's Address.

Col. W. l.. Gugcht addressed the citizens
of Jackson at the City Hall last night, on
the political issues of the day. The court
room was crowded to its fullest extent by
the most attentive audience we have seen
assembled in many a day. Two-thirds of
those present were colored men, many OF
whom were from the country surrounding,
and all seemed to be in accord with the
sentiments expressed by the speaker He
showed them that their true interests lay
with the Democratic party and the white
people, and not with any set of men whose
object was 70 array the two races against
each other. At the conclusion of the ad-
dress, Rev. Mr.. Williams (coPd) made an
efieetiye, telling appeal to his race to unite
their fortunes to the intelligent white peo-
p!e and not to be led By designing men.
The colored men of Kinds are no longer
under the political control of any one, but
have learned to thing and act for them
selves; and the result of this, We believe,
will be that a majority of them will vote
for the Democratic Conservative ticket in
November,

Pearl River Navigation Letter From
Col. Singleton.


The Carthagenian publishes the fol-
lowing letter on a subject Of interest to
many Of our readers:
DEAR SIR 7 am IN receipt Of your late
favor making enquiry as TO the appropria-
tons made by Congress for the cleaning out
OF Pearl River from Jackson TO Carthage.
After great exertion / prevailed with the
Committe on Commerce to make the appro
priation referred to, being much smaller
than / asked for, but all [ could get, as that
committee had established rule TO only
allow % per cent. of the estimates furnished
BY the several engineers for the various pub
lie works. After the first appropriation was
made, applied at the Engineering Depart
ment at Washington, to know how this
money was to be expended, and under whose
direction or supervision, aud was informed
that one of the Government Engineers
would attend to this, aud that l, or my
friends, could in no sense control the appro-
priations. | replied | feared the money
would be squandered, and no advantage
would accrue to the people from it. | was
answered that the Engineer in charge
would guard against such state of things,
and if the work should be let out by con-
tract, unless it was done according to agree
nent the contractor would receive no pay.
Thus it will be seen l have had no con-
troll over these appropriations after they
were made, and suppose, unless the work
has been properly done, no money has been
or will be paid out.
The Engineer in charge has no right to
recommend its payment to any one, upon
any other terms, and if he has done so, | will
cali him to account in December, when l
return to Washington. I care not who may
have had the contract, unless it has been
met to the letter, | shall strenuously oppose
the payment of one dollar for the work.
The people along Pearl river are deprived OF
the usual facilities of convenient market,
and when the Federal Government doles out
pittance for improving their facilities, It
shall never with my consent be swallowed
up by sharp contractors. l will look into
The matter when return to Washington.
Respectfully your friend,
o. r. SINGLETON.

Condensed Washington News.
Special to the n. Q. Times

Special to the n. o. Times,
WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. Is, 1881
The exodus for Yorktown causes great
dulness in political classes, and all hotels
tonight are comparatively deserted. The
impression prevails however, that the cabl-
net nominations will be sent in sOon after
the Senate re-assembles and the session ter
inmates shortly afterwards. There may be
a contest over the confirmation Of Dudley
as Commissioner of Pensions. Mcdonald,
of Indiana, is working against him, and
every Democratic Senator will probably
vote adversely. Dudley is thorough
PARTISAN and is now raising money among
the subordinates for the readJuster campaign
fund in Virginia Malone IS in Petersburg
to-day, said TO be instructing his friends to
light no more duels till after the election.
His letter declining to take notice of Early
is looked upon as q poor excuse. Had he
made a simple statement that he would not
fight, he might have won some credit, but
to put it on the ground of relative difference
in ranks, is ridiculously snobbish, like his
declining to speak with John Goode because
the latter was only Congressman and he
Senator. Judge David Davis feels much
hurt at the criticism of the Democratic
press on his acceptance Of the presidency OF
the Senate He says he did not know he
was to be nominated till the nomination
vas made. His action to-day, however, in
filling all committee vacancies with Repub-
licans looks hardly consistent with his
boosted independence. Report of WINDOWS
treasury Investigations will soon be made
public. 1t will involve some officials much
higher than custodian Pitney. The work
has hardly begun. A scandal duplicating
the wife of prominent Congressman Is
about to break upon social circles of this
city. The marriage took place only few
months ago; that besides being borading-
house widow, she had not borne striking
resemblance to Caesars wife for some time
before. and the Congressman was warned OF
his danger, but his love, although himself a
widower, amounted to infatuation, and the
notch was made. He hes since had the
pleasure of tracing her to several houses of
bad repute, and is now in New York taking
steps for divorce.
