The Power of the star Route Ring.
Washington, April 22.-The irregu-
lar transactions which have been pn-
covered in the contract Office of the
postofiice department by an inyestiga-
tion of Postmaster General James, are
the principal topics of discussion
throughout the city to-day, especially
in the executive departments.
The case against Gen. Brady and his
friends has been presented in its COM
plete shape to President Garfield, and
instructions at once given to complete
the evidence and lay the whole sujeet,
! including the accumulated mass of
documents, affidavits and various de-
scriptions of discriminating memoranda,
before tie attorney general.
1t is reported, and is probably true,
that while Judge Tyner WAS cognizant
of the Star Route operations, and long
ago manifested a disposition to expose
them, both he and Gen. Key were over
ruled by Gen. Brady, whose power in
the postoffice seems, in view OF the re-
cent developments, to have been al
most absolute.

A PEACEMAKER.


Washington, April 22.-Simon Cam
eron is here for the purpose of readjust-
ing the differences between the presi-
dent and Conkling. During the five
hours session of the senate, yesterday,
he sat most of the time in private
room with the vice-president, and
was in close consultation during the
time with the vice-president, Conkling,
Jones (Nev.) and few other republi-
cans, known to be special supporters Of
zenator Conkling. All the gentlemen
who attended this mysterious confer
ence are very secret as to what trans
pired.

A Republican Caucus.

Washington, April 22.-The repub-
lican senators will doubtless meet in
caucus tomorrow. The purpose of
meeting is to bring about holding one
or more executive sessions at an early
date In order to dispose of some por-
tion of the accumulated business, but
with the understanding that the contest
over the election of officers he then re-
uewad

tion on certain pending nominations,
and have to-day resulted in securing a
call for the assemblage of the caucus
next Tuesday, when he will nndoubted-
ly make the same announcement of the
case which he has made privately to
those whom he asked to unite with him
in requesting its call, and doubtless
with the same convincing effect.

Endeavorlns to sreak the Dead Lock.


Washington, April %. = Senator
Miller has for some time been quietly
bnt actively exerting himself to procure
such break in the senate dead lock as
will admit Of the transaction of at least
a portion of the accumulated executive
business, his object being to obtain
action on the Chinese treaties, which
are now at the head of the calendar.
These treaties would be Of course
wholly lost if the dead lock were pro-
longed until next -antumn, or If the
senate should previously adjourn until
next winter without taking action on
them, for they expressly provide that
the necessary exchange Of rat ifcation
shall take place in Peking, not later
than the 18th of November. Fully
impressed alike with their Importance
and the threatened danger of delay,
Gen. Miller has not failed to urge upon
his republican colleagues the advisable
ity OF an early modification of the
present programme, and has privately
made known to several of them his firm
determination to break the dead lock
for this purpose, by voting with the
democrats some day to go into execu-
tive session, in case the republican
caucus failed to arrange for holding one
without much further delay.
His representations, reinforced to
some extent by the press, are from
various sources in behalf of speed y &C.

SENATE.

Washington, April 22.-Unfinished
business came up, and the motion for
an executive session was lost, and Nor
rill then addressed the senate.
Beck in a colloquy with Sherman said
he must be careful lest Burnside should
say this thing was false, false, false,
because If he had to fight he might
shoot his man and thus break up the
constitutional majority"
Sherman declared the doctrine that
the minority should rule, dangerous
and revolutionary, and il carried out
under the rules, the senate might be
compelled to revise its rules or do what
the house Of commons had recently
done to prevent dilatory motions. He
did not know what the majority would
do, but the fact that it should be COM
PEELED to think of what it would do,
showed a revival of the doctrines of
'61. Whatever might come Of this
contest, it would be the Judgment of
every reader of history, that the demo-
Gratis on this controversy had taken the
wrong issue.
After disclaimer by Burnside of
any intention to reflect upon any sena-
tor on Wednesday. Jonas took the floor.
and the interest in the debate revived,
Dawes joining issue with Jonas.
Brown then sent to the clerks desk
and had read extracts from what he
called republican papers, in some of
which the dead lock was attributed to
a disgraceful bargain. The papers
were in general pronounced not repub-
lican.
Hawley. holding in his hand report
of a republican convention in 1868 In
Chicago, read extracts from speech
made by "a reconstructed rebel, ex-
Gov. Brown, of Georgia." He COM
mented upon the speech, and several
times turned the laugh upon Brown,
who himself joined in the merriment.
He laid particular stress upon sentences
In Browns speech in which he said,
"If you will give us Georgia republi-
cans) the fruits of the victory we have
lately won, we will carry Georgia for
Gen. Grant," his comment upon it
being, "a condition precedent to bar
gain" 1t had only been in the last
campaign that he had appealed to the
colored men to support him against the
bourbons. The republicans had had
every right to expect the senator to have
taken his seat on their side. They had
better right to expect that senator
than the gallant soldier from Virginia;
and now the senator came here and
delivered lectures about bargains.
Laughter.
Brown replied, and then the senate
adjourned till Tuesday.

4 Democratic Organ Takes sides
With Tom. Brady.

Washington, April 22.-The Post
characterizes the statement about Gen.
Brady being mixed up wrongfully in
the star route contracts as purely sensa-
tional, and says his resignation was
asked for by the president as favor to
him, and was not based upon any de-
velopments or result of any investiga-
tion. Postmaster General James disa-
vows any agency in the movement
which led to Brady's resignation.

The Projected Invasion of Mexico "a
Myth.

st. Louis, April 22.-Hon. Thomas
Allen, late president of the Iron Noun
tam railroad and congressman elect
from the second district, this city,
whose name has been connected in
eastern newspapers with the alleged
projected conquest of Mexico by armed
forces under Grant, denies most en-
phatically knowing anything about the
matter. He says the rumors are not
only sensational, but silly. He has no
financial interest in Mexico, and thinks
the only conquest of that country that
can or will be made is commercial one
by building railroads in it and opening
it up to trade and commerce. He
knows very little of Gen. Grants pro-
jects in Mexico, but is entirely salts
fed that he has no thought of an armed
invasion, and would be one of the last
men in this country to favor such a
scheme.

Tragic Murder by Mi..ourI Outla,

st. Louis, April 22.-Several masked
and armed men rode up to the house OF
a man named McLaurens, living In the
little town of Frio, Edwards county,
last Tuesday, and deliberately muir
dered McLaurens, his wife, and a
young man living with them, named
Lease. No cause is given for the hor-
rible act, and the perpetrators of it are
unknown. Plunder evidently was not
the object, as nothing In the house was
disturbed. t4tg W tsls

( Albany, N. Y, April 22.-The pa
pers publish curious story of man
named Josiah Christian, who made an
attempt to abduct the wife of Joseph
Schumm, by which it appears that
Christian and his two brothers are
members of new churchin California,
to which they attempted to make the
Schumm's converts. They believe in
the literal construction of the bible
language, and that the convert, if fe-
male, shall leave her husband, parents,
children and all, for services in faith.
They do not state where the new COM
munity is in California. They wanted
Mrs. Schumm to leave her husband, If
he refused to 60, and accompany them
to the Pacific coast. In his prelimina-
ry examination, Christian defended his
case with much warmth and exclaimed
according to the bible" the woman
was justified in leaving her husband
and children to accompany himself and
brother to the community which exists
in California.

BlIaa Atonement IN ARKANSAS.

E4-'.t =, ~
Little Rock, Ark, April 22.-Rev.
Robert Mattlock was lynched in lizard
county, a few days ago. As is supposed,
he was a preacher Of the new light.
"fanaticism, I" prevailing in his region.
Last year the enthusiastic believed in
blood atonement, and under Mattlock's
lead killed six or seven men. They
murdered Thomas Miller at barbecue
last August, with q knife, but were
captured, tried and acquitted as
insane. A short time ago a murdered
man was found in the mountains be-
tween Felico and Batesville. Circum-
stances pointed strongly to Mattlock as
the murderer. The community were
greatly excited, and Mattlock's disap-
pearance makes 1t quite certain he is
also the victim of blood atonement.
