Postmaster-G General James has gone to
oYerhauling the management of the
postal service, and as soon as his atten-
tention reached the star route, or country
mail route branch of the department,
the utter corruption, extravaganza and
proHigacy of its management was devel-
oped to so manifest an extent as to
necessitate the resignation of MIR. Brady,
the Second Assistant Postmaster Gen
eral, and also the thorough investi.
CATION of the whole business. This is to
the credit OF the present Postmaster.
General, though it is heavy load for the
Republican party. As is always the
case the accused parties have friends,
and strong friends, in the Repub.
can party, and they do not mean to be
easily oyer-ridden. They have not only
sounded the warning of vigorous
defence, but threaten war upon the
administration, accusing the President Of
endorsing their schemes, and also threat
eaing the country with another rehearsal
of the Credit Mobilier, and other scan
dals, with which Mr.. Garfield has already
been intimately associated in the public
mind. That there will either be arelax
alton of the investigation, or a very
interesting fight in the Republican party
may be put down as certain, and ii
either event the matter is almost certain
to result in very substantial party bene
fits to the Democracy.

A Committee from the Republican
Senate Caucus called OH President Gar
field last week to help them out of their
fight, which is every day increasing their
party complications, and promises them
go beneficial results, because they can
not hope to end it until the Democrats
are ready for them to do so. The com.
mittee, however, received no assistance
from the Chief Executive, as he was
unable to suggest any plausible mode of
backing down. The greatest difficulty
now seems to be the fight between the
two factions of the Republican party.
Conkling will not consent to any pro-
grammc that will probably have Robert
son confirmed, and the administration
will yield to nothing that will render his
rejection probable. The committee sug.
gested to the President that if it would
not embarrass him to withdraw the nom.
ination of Judge Robertson, that such
action would relieve the complications
and promote party harmony, but the
President replied that no such PROPOSE
tion could be entertained, and the COM
mittee went off to renew their already
despaired.of contest, and the weary ses-
sions of the Senate again drags itself
along, with no better prospect of close
than it had in the beginning. This is
one time that the Democrats have re-
mained firm, and in doing SO they have
dealt the Republicans the severest blow
that has been given them since the war.

At Philadelphia the cases of the men
arrested recently upon the charges OF
conspiracy TO defraud the government
in letting the star route mail contract
in Arizona were taken up.
Price the defendant said he did not
know the contractor Wiley. and had
signed the bond at the request of Nc
Davitt; he said he did own property
in Clinton county, upon which he had
become surety. lie knew Ensign, who
had also became bondsman, and hoped
there would be no trouble about the
matter; that he had made a trade for
land in question at this point.
Acting District Attorney Valentine
produced certificates proving the prop
erty claimed by Price was worth $685.
600, but had been sold for taxes for
Sl24, and not redeemed since.
Ensign told the inspector he owned
four improved city properties, but upon
Investigation 1t was shown that at the
time Of the existing bonds, these prop
critics were mortgaged beyond their as
sessed value.
Wiley who was the principal or bid
der, was seen last week by the inspec-
tor, and upon interrogation stated
that Thos. A. McDavitt had some time
since visited him, and requested him to
bid for the six star routes in Utah,
promising at the same time, that he
would furnish sureties, and obtain for
Wiley an appointment as route agent.
Wiley was not to be bothered with the
contracts, and vas to be held blame
less In case Of trouble.
Four Of those contracts bid for by
Wiley, were awarded to him, but upon
his failure to carry out the provisions
they were raised some 81, 900 and relet
to different parties. The communica-
lions referring to the contract received
by Wiley, were turned over by him to
McDavitt, when the Inspector Barrett
reported this statement to McDavitt.
and the latter said it was also right, but
he acted In the matter only to befriend
Wiley. who was out of employment,
n who he thought could obtain work
in this way.
Wiley has not yet been arrested, al
though the warrants have been out
nearly one week.
The total amount of surety entered
on four star route bonds by Ensign and
Price was $240 200. A certificate of
the Philadelphia postmaster, which is
signed by James I. Bingham, assistant
postmaster, states that diligent and
careful search has been made, and in
the opinion Of the postmaster's sworn
statement as to the responsibility made
by Ensign and Price 1t was correct.

Texas Rangers.

AoAao nh6oAo u
Now York Times.
The general impression in the North
Of tho Texas Rangers Is that they arc
lawless. dissipated. reckless and des-
pcrate-nearly as bad as the thieves
and rascals they are employed to sup
press. But they are very different from
tho popular notion of them, il we may
Judge from q letter recently written
from Texas by q man who claims to
know all about them. Tho Rangers
live on the frontier Of the State, spend
two-thirds Of their time in the saddle and
are continually hunting and fighting
the worst characters, the greatest des-
paradoes of the country. Their expe-
riences arc Of the widest. most roman
tic. most melodramatic kind, and would,
literally related. delight the average
boy Of the period more than the high
est favored dime novel. This body
was organized twenty odd years ago, by
b people Of Texas, for tho protection,
Of their southern and western FROM
tier from the inroads Of Indians and
Mexicans. and breaking up tho gangs
Of horse and cattle thieves and stage
robbers SO iuimical to life and property.
