The article that appeared in our col

our knowledge or consent, by the per-
son who then had charge of the paper,
(and whose assumption of authority
was Immediately rebuked by his dis
chargaD, and as we have heretofore
publicly announced that the columns
of the AVALANCHE should not be used
for the purpose of publicly deriding or
slurring any of its readers, we hereby
apologize to the public for our negli-
gence in allowing the paper to go to
press before being submitted to us for
inspection; and, in justice to DR.. Ira
YER we would state that the offence of
which our Saginaw correspondent com
planned, was simply the reception of n
one cent comic valentine which he as
sumed was sent by the doctor.
Trusting that the AVALANCHE will
hereafter be published in the interest
of morality, and its influence be felt in
the elevating and ennoblipg of the
minds of its readers, and that our apoi-

MATTHEW'S CREATES A SURPRISE

Judge Stanley Matthews, OF Ohio,
recently confirmed Associate Justice Of
the Supreme Court Of the United States,
has caused a genuine surprise. 1t was
supposed, when he was nominated by
X. b. Hayes, and renominated by Pres
iient Garfield, that he was tool of
corporations, as he opposed, while
United States Senator, the Thurman
Funding bill, and was warmly support
ed for the Jugeship by Jay Gould.
His first decision, which was recently
rendered, in the case of the United
States against James Swise and others,
who were charged with carrying petro-
lepm on a passenger steamboat from
Cincinnati to Memphis, indicates that
be is not wholly owned by greedy cor
porations. The law forbids the trans
portation of petroleum Oh passenger
boats when there are other practicable
routes on which it could be carried.
This law is said to have been enacted
by Congress, Through the efforts of the
Standard Oh Company and certain
railroads. The defense claimed that
the railroad route from Cincinnati to
Memphis is impracticable for transport
ing petroleum, from the fact that the
taiiff is 81 a barrel, while it can be
carried by steamer for 30 cents. Judge
Matthews ruled that the great differ
eDce in the rates OF transportation made
the route by rail impracticable. This
decision is hailed with delight by many
who were opposed to the confirmation
OF Matthews, for the reason that they
believed from his record that he would
always find an excuse for constituting
the laws in favor OF monopolies.

BRADY on THE OFFENSIVE.

According to reports from Washing
ton the Star Route Ring is assuming the
offensive. Among the lawyers engaged
by Brady, late Second Assistant POST
master General, are General Butler and
Colonel Ingersoll. Brady processes I'M
bounded confidence in his ability to
clear himself from the charges preferred
against him, and in the event of his
success will turn the tables upon his
accusers. He intends to bring suit for
criminal libel against the Attorney Cen
eral and Postmaster Genere: as soon as
indictments are found against him. He
relies ON a Congressional investigation
TO vindicate his official acts.
The members Of the Star Route Ring
are evidently not very much, alarmed.
Dorsey has demanded a retraction of
the charges against him, and Brady
threatens to sue his aceusers for libel.
Both expect Congress to whitewash
them, whatever may be the result of
The trials in the courts. They undoubt-
eddy know what they are about, and as
several Congressman are said to be i'm
plicated in the Star Route frauds they
feel that those Congressman, TO clear
their own skirts, will have to approve
the course Of the Ring. Their organ in
Washington has attacked the President
for appointing a. VI. Gibson, who is
the Washington correspondent of the
New York Sun, special a., ut to unearth
TIE frauds. The organ seys that for
nine years Gibson has steadily branded
Garfield as bribe-taker, thief, liar and
perjurer,. yet Garfield, as President,
voluntarily certifies to the honor, in
tegrity and trustworthiness of this
man. This from a paper which only
few months ago lauded Garfield to the
skies, and predicted that his Admins
tration would be the most harmonious
and successful, since ante-bellum days
is, to say the least, significant, and with
the schism Of the Stalwarts, denotes
that chasmL has been opened between
the rival factions Of the Republican
party. which even the Federal patron
age cannot close or bridge.
