DORSEY AND THE STAR ROUTES
Fall Justice Likely to be Done the
Ex.Senator4A Change Of Tactics.

WASHINGTON, May 3.--It is not pro
| babe that ex-senator DorSey's request
for u special investigation of his connec-
| tion with the star routes will be granted
at present. There is understood to be,
upon the part both Of the President and
Postma ,ter-G General, disposition to aC-
commodate the Ex-senator, but for sew
eral reasons it would now be ineXped-
lent to do so. The Postmastcr-Gencral
has not made any charges against en-
Senator Dorsey, nor have subordlnates
so far as is known. The whole matter
is already under Investigation, which
will be complete aud searching, ami
will do the ex-senator even justice
without unnecessary delay. Then,
again, such an investigation rs
Mr., Dorsey evidently seeks would
prove nothing, owing to the fact that n
man may be the contractor for a hun
dred star routes and yet his name may
not appear upon the records Of the De-
partment in connection with any one of
them. This, in fact, is conspicuously
the case with the ex-senator, rs shown
in u Washington dispatch TO The Tri-
bune of last week. Being u contractor,
it is probable he exercised the inaliena-
BILE right of IN American citizen to ex-
tort the highest possible price foi the
least possible service. Whether ilegi-
innate methods Were employed to en-
hance the one or curtail the other the
investigation alone will show.
A gentleman, who has been some
what familiar with the doingS Of Cen
eral Brady and the star route cOntrac.
tors since the beginning Of the present
Investigation, said this evening that u
sudden change in the tactics of the con.
tractors and General Brady was devel-
oncd us soon rs Mr. Dorsey arrived in
Washington. Gen. Bradys newspaper,
the National Republican, at once ceased
attacks upon the President on account
of the star route einVestigatlon,a and began
to abuse PostmaSter-Gcner James,
whom it accused ofbeing the author and
iu,ligator of the trouble. This gentle
man declares that this sudden change
of front was ordered by Mr.. Dorsey,
who, he asserts, informed Mr.. GOrham,
the editor, that from that time hence
forth nothing nnSt be said against the
President, but that every effort must
br made tn brra& down the Postmaster
General and eventually to driv" him
from the Cabinet. The same gentleman
had already been prepared, attacking
the President in connection with pOlit-
ical contributions received or solicited
from star route contractors during the
last campaign, and regarding which
some hints had previously been thrown
out in the editorial columns of The Re
publican.

The other day little girl named

Franklin county, Pa, was sent out to
the field where Mr. Horst was plowing
to call him to dinner, and, requesting
that she might ride one Of the horses
home, Mr.. Horst put her on what he
considered a gentle plow horse, but
shortly after the little girl was on the
horse it broke away from Mr.. Horst,
and ran off. The girl in falling off was

FROM THE COAL REGION.
What q Travelling Correspondent
Sees I'm his Travels.

Special Correspondent Of the Republican.
MAHANoY CITY, May 3rd, 1881.
What glorious weather we have had
after the long winter had locked all the
streams in his icy embrace and covered
the vegetation with snow. He now
yields to the God Of day, who with his
warm ravs sends life and beauty in
every little flower and blade of grass.
The mountain sides here are begin
ming to look green, but how long it will
be so depends on some villianOus van
dalS who every spring, as soon rs the
undcrbrush is dry, set fire to the woods,
and destroy miles of timber.
Yesterday we took walk up the
mountain that overlooks this city, and
rs far rs the eye could reach into the
dim blue distance could be seen num-
erous fires set going by roaming vaga-
bonds who have no regard for law or
order. There should be some penalty
for such wanton destruction of property
and officers should be appointed to at
tend to this kind of crime. | predict
that in a few years this whole coal
region will he without wafer for drink
ing purposes. Already at Mahanoy
Plane, water has to be Carted around
and sold at % cents per barrel. One
sees no laughing streams running
down these mountain sides, it is all
drawn off bv the mines below.
AS far Us | am able to judge by out
side appearances, the various Protes-
tant churches here are about dead and
all they want is burying, especially is
this the case with the Methodist church.
The cause is apparent enough when any
person is here to see for. himself.
Do you know what patch is, Mr..
Editor? I'll tell you. 1t is u dozen or
two Shantes built near mine. These
patches are what gave strength to the
Mollie Mcguire movement. Your cor
respondent the other day having bust
ness in one of these Shanties, opened the
door to 90 in, when p goat who had been
watching his chance darted in and took
possession of the bed, driving out pig.
The miners are only making halftime
and no one is able to say when they
Will work full time A great many
lninrrS are leaving here, and if it was
not for the lIungarians and Polanders
who are filling their places it would in
few years be difficult to find men to
wo.k the mines These Hungarians
and Polanders are robust, healthy set
of fellows who can live - or 20 in Gel
lar on lj or 20 cents day each easy.
The people up this way seem to like
the speech Mr.. Gowen made in Phila-
delphia the other week. They say they
are more willing to trust him, who was
raised in their midst than any foreign
bondholderS or MCCalmots.
The Keely Run mine is still on fire.
This mine is owned by the Girard Estate
and there has been many thousand of
dollars spent in trying to put out the
fire as it endangerS all the mines located
around. Shenandoah as Lanagan'S. In

Prices Of Coal for Next Month.

There is not much at present upon
which to build hope that prices will
be any more favorable month or three
months hence than at present, indeed
theindications all point to higher prices.
They are now only fairly remunerative
and have been brought mp to that point
solely by last seasons judicious policy
of concert of action. 1t is not likely
that with the bitter experience of 1879,
resulting from want of cooperation,
there will be disposition to change the
programme this year. Those who are
holding off for break will, therefore,
be likely to discover their error when
they have to add % cents a ton to the
present market price.

The Bills of Mortality

In the city of New York, twenty

upwards of fifty deaths from smalpoN'

iberia, and a large increase OF deaths

really appears that foul sewers, dirty
streets, and the nasty air of tenement

as sources OF unhealthiness in the EN-

The Democratic Party

in Arkansas appears to be split into two
fragments by the great question of the
honest payment Of the interest on the
public debt or the reputation of the re-
sponSibility. This division appears to
have been stimulated all over the south
by the angry discussion in the national
Senate on the subject Of Democratic re-
pudiation in Virginia. 1t will be most
fortunate indeed if this purely partisan
strife at Washington shall have the at'
pfect of arousing the latent honesty OF
the southern Democrats to the duty of
providing for the faithful payment OF
their repudiated State and local debt.
