Postmaster Ford complains that a
number of the patrons of the pOstOffice
are delinquent in paying up their box
rent. He is obliged to account to the
postOffice department for every box that
is occupied, and does not like the idea of
paying the government money that he
has not received, and at the same time
he likes to be as accommodating as pos
sible, but has about come to the cOnclu-
sion that he will have to adopt strictly
pay-in-advance system. Some do not
seem to understand that the box rent
goes to the government and not to Mr..
Ford, and they might as reasonably ex-
pect to have their postage stamps do
mated as their box rent.

ROBERTSON CONFIRMED.
No Debate and No Record of the
Vote.

WAsHrNToN, May lS S-Rnbertson's
confirmation was prompt No debate
occurred and no record was made of the
vote. The news spread quickly through
the city, but created little sensation, as il
was really known in advance and dis
counted. One Republican and one Dem
ocrat called for the yeas and nays, hut
only five hands were raised in support
and the call was Withdrawn. 1t is now
stated that negative votes we're given by
ingalls,. Farley, Jones. OF Nevada, and
Don Cemeron, but the responses were
not loud.
A Senator who was at the White
House this morning said that the Presi.
dent was busy signing nominations, and
would no doubt require the Senate to re-
main in session day or two longer fol
him to clear up the business. %
Bsdeau's nomination was withdrawn

don, was confirmed without opposition
Chaudler's nomination Is to 60 over un
til December. 1t is stated the Republi
cans all desire this, and though the Dem
ocrats oppose him, they appear to b.
willing to let the nomination 60 over
1t is reported that the President will?ap
point Chandler. Immediately after tn
adjournment Of the Senate, Solicito
General, but as Phillips holds the offlc
the appointment of Chandler cannot b
made, unless Phillips resigns or is re
moved for cause. The Attorney Gene
raj is SO opposed to Chandler that it
not probable the President will put hiI
in nomination, and the indications ar
that the case will really 60 over until th
next Congress, and in the meantim
Phillips will remain in office. This state
ment was positively made by Senate
to-day.

frances course in Tunis is new IL
lustration of the fierce determination oil
all the great Powers to defend the lnteg

not foot of the Sultan's soil should be
taken from him.. except, perhaps, Cy-
prus. which of course she understood
he did not Want. France has Joined in
numerous guarantees 10 assure His Maj
esty peaceful possession of his territory,
but doubts, it may he, whether these
guarantees apply to TuDis, as to which
she holds the Sultan's title is not good
Austria also has frequently desired to
assure the Sultan the integrity of his
Empire, but not as to Bosnia. There
is scarcely one of the Powers that fol-
fifty years have been resolute to proven,
the sou,hward advance of Russis
through the Ottoman territories, and
opposed it on the theory OF the need OF
preserving the integrity Of the Ottoman
Empire, but has made acquisitions oil

tegrity. And vet that solemn clown

Our Next Marrow Gauge.

The Bellaire, Beaver Valley & Shaw.
nee Railway Co. have, at length, over
come the obstacles thrown in its way bv
rival interests, and is now actively en-.
gagged in taking stock along the Meigs
Creek subdivision.
Starting from the Muskiugum Run, at
the mouth Of Meigs Creek. the entire
distance of % mlles-with the exception
OF about fourth of a mile-is valley
line, and the road can be graded, bridged
and tied at a c)st not exceeding 81, 500
per mile. At Cumberland, the Eastern
Ohio Railroad-la,ely purchased by a
Syndicate, 80 as to control connections
for the Bellaire & Shawnee line-will
furnish an immediate outlet to the rail-
road world: at Point Pleasant, over the
Marietta & Charleston; and at Cam
bridge over the Baltimore l. Ohio. Il
is hoped that at the rate stock is now
being subscribed, the company will be
able to commence work in July, and
have the road in operation from the
Muskingum Run to Point Pleasant by
next Christmas.
East Of Point Pleasant there are two
routes available for the company, bott
coDvergipg upon point in Wills Greek
Valley near the mouth of Mud Run
one by way of Sarahsville, and the othel
BY Senecavlle. The first named is th,
longer line but would command q muct
more extended scope of trade than wonlG
the last named; the latter short ant
cheap OF construction, but too close tt
the B & o. road to be fully acceptable
Upon this supposed advantage OF create
shortness of time, the danger is that th'
Senecaville people will fail to do thei
whole duty in the matter Of subscrip
ftions.
Il On the other hand, the Sarahsville in
terest-never sympathizing with the IN
. natural plan Of line from Sarahsvill
to Caldwell, and then, by an acute angle
almost back sgain-will doubtless prol
fer for this enterprise all the aid whic
can be usually expected

EE Here is foe sample OF the Star
Route robbery, whereby Republican pat
riots fattened and at the same time raised
campaign funds to aid in the election Of
Garfield: Route No. 32,024 runs from
Vinita, Indian Territory, to Lac Vegas.
New Mexico The distance of alleged
service covers 63S miles. The original
contract in 1878 was for $3.50, once a
week. 1t was "expedited" to S40.429
SO promptly, with additional trips for
8l7, ,879 Sc. Then more trips were add
ed to the extent of SS6, ,053 SO. So that
this contract, which hegan with sc, $3.50.
soon aggregated S150,693 03 under
Brady's manipulation.
Now, let US see where was "the large
increase in the volume OF mail matter
carried" to justify this enormous raising
of contract in the Indian Territory
No mail was carried over flve-sixths OF
the whole re ute, and carrier passed
east one day and back the next day with
an empty sack, for which Brady allowed
his confederates over $3.50, 600 year
This example may be regarded as spec
linen OF the Star service rascality. and
of the infamous means employed by the
conspiiing robbers to ill their pockets ct
the public expense.

Conkling is politically dead, and Rob-

from Albany setting forth that Judge
Robertson had declared positively that
he would not take possession of the Of
