mentS are charged to the south which be-
long TO northern states, and that the COL
ored people, who are the bone and sineH
OF the republican party south, are given only

The Star Route Frauds.

POSTMASTER GENERAL JAMES APPLYING TIE
KNIFE.
1t has frequently been said by those who de.
fend the star route contractors "why IL con-
Tracts are exhorbitant and useless the Post
master General does not discontinue them"
AS matter OF fact within the past few weeks
he has discontinued several; notably, the routes
on the Mississippi river and the mountain Hot
Springs route OF Montana. Moreover, In every
instance he has been advised by letters from
people along the routes that hts course meets
their appreciation. It appears according to
developments thus far made known, that
number OF routes In the far west were no more
nor less than subsidies to stage lines. The
owner OF the stages was the first consideration
ana the wants OF the people or the prompt de-
livery OF the mails only secondary one
on behalf OF Gen. Brady, his friends allege
that before President Hayes term expired he
GRADY made movement to prosecute the
very straw bondsmen who have been arrested
IN Philadelphia but he was stopped by orders
from power mightier that his own.
In G1scOntinuing and reducing the star ser
vice the Postmaster General Is compelled to
act With exceeding caution. He does not want
to cripple the service. OF course his aim is
economy, but withal he is disposed to act in a
broad spirit Of 1berality to the people.

A STAR reporter to-day inquired OF Senator
voorhees, what he thought OF the political Ques-
ton now uppermost IN the mind OF everybody
the Robertson nomination. The Senator said
he had decided views on the question aud he
expressed them to the reporter in terse Ian
guage, as follows:
"This is not personal matter with me at
all am on good terms with Mr.: Conkliug
and with every member OF the administration
So far as personal con Siderations are concerned
/ would gladly ODlfge them all, for 1t is always
more agreeable to me to do pleasant than un
pleasant things, but / cannot place the dis
Charge of my duties as q Senator on such
grounds. ! am not called on to take part In
quarrels betwee IN the leaders Of the republican
party. The President has the right under the
constitution to select such persons as he sees
TT for the public Offices and send their names
to the Senate. II, In doingsso, factions arisslIn
his own party, that Is not my affair. j am not
an arbiter OF republican differences. Tney
n ust settle among themselves. / can only
LOOK TO the person nominated to the Senate. IL
he fills the Jeffersonlan requirements on what
grounds can l vote to reject him? If he IS cap-
able AMI honest, his record Is good with me.
TT at is the Old fashioned test, and 1t IS the true
one.
We hear much about Senatorial courtesy, ia
connection with appointments and contlrma-
ttons. That Is all well enough 10 proper
bounds. try to be as courteous as any other
gladly oblige my associates; but. like many
other good qualities courtesy may be invoked
ouC VI pldCc. Iue NEW 1OTk CuSlOm-0OuSo is
as national in its proper functions as one OF the
departments of the government, and the col.
ltctor OF customs at New York Is as much a
national official as member of the Cabinet. A
great commercial port, collecting revenue from
seven tenths. perhaps, Of all the commerce OF
the Anne rican people. cannot be regarded as a
mere appendage to the local politics of
siIgle state The appointment OF collector
of such port cannot pe claimed as
local perquisite for a Senator or
member OF Congress like the appointment OF
a postmaster. The people OF Ohio, Indiana,
Illinois and the other great western states are
as much interested In the administration of the
legitimate business OF the New York custom
house as the people OF New York themselves.
While regret that the appointment OF Judge
Robertson Is not acceptable to Senators from
New York, yet believing him capable and an
honest man, and recognizing the right of the
President TO make the selection. feel it my
duty to vote for his confirmation"
These views, from democratic Senator ofthe
prominence and influence OF Mi. voorhees,,
have special weight at this time, especially as
another leading Senator OF the same party
MIR. Bay ar6,-has expressed himself recently
to the same effect

Republican Caucus To-day.
WHAT THE TNDyc ATroNS Apr

The republican Senators assembled In caucus
soon after the adjournment of the Senate
The indications, as gathered by a STAR re-
porter at 2:30 this afternoon, were that the
caucus would decide to take up and act upon,
other nominations now pending and that may
hereafter be sent In by the President.
This opinion was expressed by q party
having good reason TO know what
not more than ten Senators would sustain Mr.
Conkling should he make another attempt to
lay over the Robertson nomination until next
December.
Senator Conkling did not enter the caucus
when 1t met. He went into his committee
room. and In about halt an hour after the eau.
Gus met he was sent for, and In response to
this call he went In.
At O'Clock p. m. the caucus was S till in ses.
sion. with no immediate prospect OF adjourn

No such action has been taken. The investfga-
