BANQUET TO EX-SENATOR WHYTE.-An
elegant banquet WINS given, on Thursday night
oflast week to Hon. William Pinkney Whyte,
ex-senator from Maryland, by the merchants
of Baltimore. Addresses were made by Mr..
Whyte, Judge jeremiah s. Black, Speaker
Randall, ex-Mayor Richard Vaux, of Phila-
delphia, and other distinguished men. Mr..
Whyte entered the Senate as the success
sor ofReverdy johnson. He was subsequent
ly elected Governor and after serving two
years was elected by the Legislature to the
term which expired on the fourth of last
March. Senator Whyte ranks among the
ablest and most efficient representatives
Maryland has ever had in the Senate of the
United States. He labored earnestly and
zealously for the interests of his State, and
particularly of the city of Baltimore, and on
national questions he won high place as
constitutional lawyer and statesman. He
was one of the few Senators who opposed
the iniqutous electoral commission of 1875,
and for this one act alone, if all the rest of
his brilliant and useful career in the Senate
were blotted out, he deserves the respect and
esteem of the Democratic party. The BAN
quet in his honor was fitting testimonial
to distinguished, honored and useful public
servant.

lectured On Wednesday night of last week

Dow Is not a graceful, polished orator, but his
address was listened to with attention and
interest He related several instances contrast
ing the advantage Of teetotalism over moderate
drinking, and urged the people to advocate To-
cal option. He said that moderate drinking was
like torpedo In the pocket, which might burst
and tear him asunder at any moment. Mr..
Dow does not expect local option to entirely
stop the sale Of strong drink Outlaws will
continue to sell It, but Its sale would be under
the ban of the law, and very little would be
sold

The Star Mail Route Frauds.

The removal of Assistant Postmaster Gen
eral Brady and the dread of an investigation
of the gigantic frauds in connection with the
Star mail service, has acted like an electric
shock in Washington. Ifan investigation is
begun no one can tell where it will end, nor
what high officials may not be inculpated in
the crooked transactions. Itappears that the
robberes, which were begun in General
Grants last term, reached their meridian I'M
der the administration of President Hayes.
The mode of operating was as follows
By the connivance ofdishonest clerks in the
postofflce department the star mail route
robbers were permitted to see the bids made
for carrying the mails on certain routes
Lower bids than those already in were then
made, and the contracts secured. The prices
at which many of these routes were taken
were often lower than the amount for which
the service could be properly rendered. The
successful bidders if not able to carry the
mails themselves, sub-let the routes on the
best terms they could obtain. The work
was begun at losing price, but in a short
time application was made to the postofflce
department for increased pay, in considers
ion of extension of the route, or of increas
ed speed. Under the management of Gen
Brady such application was always favorably
received and the additional pay granted. By
increasing the ub-contractor's allowance the
additional service was rendered, and the
postal ring pocketed the difference Offer
this amounted to ten times the original pay
For instance one route of one hundred ant
fifty miles, in Texas, for which the accepted
bid wS$9,7sS, was increased to $ss, 4O3
One in Dakota, of $50 miles. was increased
from 81, $50 to 10000. The vast amount o
the stealings may be gathered from the fac
that of the 81, 100000 appropriated for Stai
Route service, for the year ending last June
$2,sO2 ,214 was absorbed by ninety three routes
for which the allowance was raised, leaving
$3,097, 7S8 for the remaining 9, 1872 routes On
these ninety-three routes the pay has beer
increased from $72G,119 to $2,075,095 /

and probe this rascality to the bottom h,
will save the country millions of dollars ever,
