letters alleged to have been written by
him were shown to him in support Of the
clam,
Dorsey pronounced the claim fraudulent

The New York Heroid is really scared
ii seems, for fear there are not enough
Republicans on the bench Of the Supreme
Court to make the fruits Of the war
secure. As every man on the bench ex-
cept Judge Field is Republican, and he
was one once, having been appointed by
Lincoln, it seems that what the Hernia
needs to satisfy it is come way of running
off the bench every Judge who shows
symptoms of refusing to regulate his judi
cial action by the exigencies of party
politics.

Why so good and honorable man as
Senator Lamar should want Stanley
Matthews confirmed as Justice Of the
Supreme Court OF the United States We
cannot understand, yet Lamar was the
only member Of the Senate Judiciary
Committee who voted for Matthews con
iirnation. Matthews friends claim that
he will be confirmed despite the action Of
the Judiciary Committee. II SO the Senate
will disgrace itself hopelessly.

Dorsey and Delaware.

We shall look with some hope
to the investigation of the star
route jobbery for further light
on the relations OF Ex-senator
Dorsey to Delaware politics. Dorsey it
will be remembered enthusiastically com
plimented the honesty of some of the
Republican politicians Of this State for
returning snm OF money which arrived
too late. for use in buying votes, while
EVERY EVENING right after the election
gave some interesting kilograms which
passed between Dorsey and a certain Re
publican CONGRESSMAN OF this State
showing how lively all interest Dorsey
took in our affairs.
Of course every one who really knows
anything about this specimen of the
order Of carpet bag senators knows that
he is scoundrel. He cheat" his way
through Europe, leaving behind him 0
trail of unpaid hotel.bills, and though it i.
now understood that he is rich we sup
pose that even his friends do not suspect
him of having acquired his means i'll any
honorable way. He carried Indiana By
bribery and corruption and he doubtless
had large hand i'll doing the same in New
York, His hand was also shown plainly
i'll the same direction in Delaware an,
hence We have peculiar interest in th
fellow we have never had before. f..
