The Readjusters' convention at Richmond,
Va, last week, nominated Col. Cameron of
Petersburg for Governor, Hon. John F. LOWS
for Lieutenant Governor and Col Frank s.
Blair for Attorney General. The ticket is q
popular one, and it is understood that il will
have such support as the administration of
President Garfield can give il. At Richmond
and Washington there is confidence that it
can be elected, as the colored voters of the
state are prepared to give it an enthusiastic
support. The platform adopted by the con-
vention declares "a free ballot to be the right
preservative of all rights, and that It should be
maintained in every state in the Union :" ia
vors the support Of the charitable and educa-
tional institutions of the state, the honest and
careful management of its current financial
affairs, uniform and just taxation, and the
cultivation of more cordial and fraternal rela-
tions between the sections and the States
The New York Tribune's Richmond special
says: At the Readjuster convention the en-
thusasm in behalf of the candidates was
tame compared with the outbursts of approval
which greeted every declaration of liberal and
political principles. There seems but little
doubt the ticket will receive a general sup
port from the Republican voters throughout
the state. Senator Malone and other leaders
are constantly receiving from North Carolina
South Carolina, Georgia, Arkansas and some
other states, letters from prominent men who
hitherto have acted with the regular Demo-
cratic party, declaring that il the liberal move
ment in Virginia succeeds it will Immediately
spread to those states.

There is one point which the Hinsdale peo-

and then carried away. Suppose the bridge
should be carried of under private owner

BILE or inexpedient TO rebuild IT, Public ne
cessity would demand some means OF cross

compel the cons truotion of a bridge. In such
case would not the town of Hinsdale find it.

Secretary Window has expressed himself
with admirable sense and discretion in rela-
ton to the political situation in New York.
Speaking TO an interviewer at St. Paul, the
secretary said that he did not think the New
York contest would have any perceptible eff
feet on the party outside of that state. ''There
is no issue at present between the President
and Mr.. Conkling," he remarked; ''Mr.
Robertson has been confirmed, and that Is the
end of it," The President he continued, will
not take sides with or recognize either fac
ton in New York As TO the custom house,
the secretary said that 'Mr. Robertson's ap-
pointment does not give any control of pat
ronage to his factors" and he conveys the
gratifying assurance that ''the New York
custom house viii be run for the business to
be done by it, not for political purposes at
all. That is something the office of secretary
Of the treasury has uniformly had something
TO say about. If Mr.. Conkling should be
elected, he could not trouble Mr.. Robertson
in the least. Mr.. Robertson will appoint
WHOM he pleases, aud his appointments are
subject to the approval Of the secretary. Z"
And he adds: "This disturbance will have
no effect at all on the progress of civil SER
vice reform. The fact is, tho New York Gus
tom house has been run under civil service

Inc Star Rou,. E,no.ur.,

A Washington special says: Postmaster
General James has received from the West
certified and Photographic copies of the let
tiers and kilograms sent by ex-senator Dorsey
in the West when he was arranging the star
route system, as well as some of the originals
These are documents upon which an agent
recently brought suit against Dorsey in Colo
RADIO, and which was compromised. The Off
cials think some of the documents will do
much to make the case against Dorsey certain
There is great uneasiness in every bureau Of
the post-office department which has had any
relations with the star-route service. 1t is
said the officials prosecuting the case believe
that good many clerks held improper rela-
tons with favored contractors. Should in
dctments be found against the parties con-
nected With the star-route affairs, it Is under
stood the government will not urge prosecu-
ton until after the fall term of the criminal
court the accused will in the meantime know
OF what they are charged, and can prepare a
defense. 1t is stated that besides Brady, Dor
sey and the contractors having 80 star routes,
the drag-net takes in attorneys, government
clerks, postmasters, and host of small con-
tractors. 1t is said that while the progress
already made by the star-route investigations
is excellent comparatively little of the vast
scheme of fraud which extends over a large
part of the country has been uncovered.

Until Wednesday of this week there was
little change in the outlook of the senatorial
fight at Albany, the several leading candidates
practically holding their own without materi-
al change. On Wednesday, when the eighth
ballot was taken, general surprise was caused
by the gain of ohauneey M. Depew's vote for
the long term from AZ to 81, while Cornell's
vote for the short term rose from 10 to 10.
@. H. Russell, member from Brooklyn,
caused sensation on both sides by announc-
ing that while he regarded Mr.. Conkling as
an ideal senator and had steadily voted for
him up to that time, visit to his constitu-
ents had convinced him that nine-tenths Of
the Republicans were opposed to Conkline's
reelection, and in obedience to their will he
should transfer his vote to Mr.. Cornell. On
Thursday Cornelrs vote fell off TO 16 and De-
pew's increased to 50, The ballot was as fol-

There has been much hostile criticism of
the appointment and confirmation of Stanley
Matthews to the United States Supreme
bench, but the spirit in which Judge Matthews
enters on his duties is certainly admirable, if
his spoken words can be trusted as an index
This is what he said at late soldiers re-
union:
Let me say, comrades, that if any man
knows what an honest judge is going to de-
eide, they know more than he does, until the
time comes after hearing testimony and read
ing arguments, he celebrates in the cham
bers of his own conscience and settles his
judgment under solemn sense of RESPONSE
bility to God. If know anything of myself,

consideration to administer the law for the
purpose of doing justice between man and
man without fear, favor or affection, impair
tial and equal, and SO to build up the great
temple of justice in which, and in which
alone, we can find peace and prosperity. And
what shall endeavor to do is to cast way be-
hind me every bias, every prejudice, and
everything which can possibly draw the mind
away from just comprehension of the truth
as It may be presented in the present light
and 10 treat every question coming before the
tribunal of justice as a new subject of inves-
tigation, 10 be studied, examined, learned and

A saving of nearly $75O,OOO in the star
and steamboat mail service, during his first
quarter in Office, is the record of Postmaster
General James. There was little manufac-
tured indignation let of in the local press
along the Mississippi river routes at the de
privation" of the steamboat service. But the
hollowness of this cutlery was exposed by
facts showing that the service by rail and post
routes was very much more frequent and reg
'ular, and was done at a saving of thousands
of dollars. There was no schedule time on
several of the boats, and the government
contract was, in reality, subsidy, without
any corresponding service, the effect of
which was to enable the favored lines to put
down passenger and freight rates until they
had killed off competition, and then to main
tain monopoly prices. Gen. James's policy
of conducting the postal service as business,
on business principles, is bringing forth good
results in all directions. 1t is both saving the
peoples money and educating them in re-
form.
