DtFFICULT To PUNISH.
NJ" YoKK, April 26.-The Star rout
scandal still exercises the New York paper.
Tn" Times Washington correspondent dc
votes his attention to the more eastern oi
Tenders this morning. The HoridS reporte
says: alt is now said that prosecution coul
be brought only upon suspicion, and tina
enough circumstantial proof could not be al
dnced TO secure conviction in a crimina
suit, although the mere recital "f facts wOul,
be morally convincing TO all who chose Il
read it. The only other method Of bringing
those who are involved TO punishment, thai
seems to have occurred 10 the Postonce De
paltmcmt is through a conditional invcstga
ton, but a recent decision of the Supreme
Court in the kilbOurnc case would sustain
Brady, Dorsey * Co., in drfying a Congress-
ional committee.

"DETACHED Duty"
New YORK, April 2G.-Thc Times Wash
ington special says: Secretary Lincoln, it
Is understood, has declared his intention to
relieve and send TO their regiments such Off
GERS Of the army as have enjoyed soft bilets
Of detached duty in and about Washington
for several years. The most pronounced
case and one which Is without parallel is
that of Thomas Ii. Bradley, Captain of the
Twenty-hrst Infantry, who has been on de-
tached service In the office of the Secretary
Of War for nearly eighteen years, and has
never done days duty with, nor seen his
regiment since he was appointed a second
lieutenant In 1860.
THE DEADLOCK.
New York, April 20.-Spcaking of the
Senate deadlock, the 1ribuacS correspond
ent says: new plan to bring the Democrats
TO terms has been preached. In the course
Of conversation with a correspondent to-day,
Senator who Is In favor of the new plan
described IL as follows II would be perfect
ly In order for Garfield to send message to |
the Senate saying that inasmuch as that |
body has not completed an organization so
that 1t can proceed with the conside ration Of |
executive business, he has concluded TO with
draw all nominations now pending. This
would leave the Senate with no business be-
fore II, except the resolution to elect officers
and the Democrats would be compelled
either TO allow the vote to be taken upon
hat or take the suicidal step of moving to
adjourn sine die. After the Senate had ad-
burned, the President could 90 on and make
appointments under authority of the Consti-
ution and laws.
CAPITAL NOTES.
WASHINGTON, April 2G.-Both Senator
and Senator Plat are very much
unused at the published statement that cool
ess exists between them. There is no truth
the statement, and their relations are as
ordial now as they have ever been.
Senator Jones placed his Democratic
lends In an unenviable position to-day by ,
taking long speech in the Senate, in which .
undertook to defend and justify human
avery In this country. His speech was un- =
ise, and during its delivery some Northern I;
emocratic Senators moved restlessly in =.
cir seats and showed plainly that they dis :,
proved the sentiments or utterancc of such ~
ntiments At this time.
Tine death Of Representative Conner, Of :,
nth Carolina, leayes two seats vacant on :.
