Mir. A. M. GIbson the special attorney hav- ing the Star Route prosecutions in charge. has made report in which we sets forth the methods practiced by the contractors, with the collision of Brady and others, at Washing ton. The chief design of the conspirators was to avoid the effect of the laws providing for competition in the letting of the routes. This was done in various ways; byincreasing the number of trips and the schedule time after the contract was let, at immensely advanced rates by representing the distance greater or less than 1t really was. as in the former case bidders not in the ring were deterred from connecting in the latter, contractors were al- lowed enormously increased pay because the distances proved longer than those advertised {; by getting temporary service at greatly in- creased rates; by emitting much of the service contracted for, yet receiving full pay by &C., cepting plainly illegal contracts, such as could not bind be contractor unless he wished to perform them lastly, by the taking of straw bonds, utterly worthless and which could not be collected, thus letting hundreds of routes on contracts that could not be enforced against the contractor. Under this system irresponsi- ble persons took contracts at rates much below cost, expecting to throw them up unless they could procure immensely increased rates by some of the above devlees Honest contract ors were showed aside. and the yhsle con- tract system was converted into 6 gigantic engine of fraud. It is evident that the sue. cess of these arrangements depended entirely on the complicity of Brady and others in the post office department. Mr. Gibson also charges grave dereliction of duty in the sixth auditors office, and says that he has only indicated small part of the rascality that hal gone on at Washington ip connection with tho Star Route contracts. Nothing will better phase the country than athorough exposing o the men concerned will these frauds, apG their summary punishment. The danger II that so many prominent politicians are involv | ed that great influence with be brought to beal to impeds the prosecutions. and the parties l implicated are so wealthy that it will be very difficult to prevent the bribiRg aud spiritine away of witnesses.

The Commission appointed to revise the liquor laws of the State met at Hartford, last week. They were addressed by States At torney Hammersley, who proposed change in the policy of granting licenses. He thought but few should be given the privilege and that licenses should be given to the highest bid ders among those duly recommended and ap- proved. He also proposed abolishing the of- flee of prosecuting agent and to have licenses granted by the Superior Courts and not by County Commissioners as at present. The only valuable suggestion made by MT. Ham, mersley, as it strikes us, was that altogether too many licenses were now granted.

He said he had no idea of pushing his military occupation to the borders of Tripoli, not wishing to have the Porte for a neighbor. M.

The recent elections will give the Republicans gain of 19 in the Senate, and open the way perhaps to the sep aration of church and state and to elections on general ticket.

The Philadelphia Star Route cases are post poned and are pronounced failure. Last spring, several contractors and straw bonds men were prosecuted. They disclosed their principals and the punishment of the men chiefly interested seemed imminent. At this l juncture one of the principals went to Wash ington, and by pretending to make full state ments, secured immunity for himself. He IS said to have completely deceived an officer of l the Post Office Department, who assumed, without consultation with the attorneys em ployed by the government, to take charge of the case. The very man who could have been forced to disclose important secrets, and thus enable the government to reach the orig anteed protection, and now the government finds that it has no really prominent persons to proceed against Sharp management seems to have put the powerful originators and packers of the scheme beyond the govern ment's reach.
 The most popular man in Hartford, just now, IS Dr. w. l. Gage, Pastor of the Pearl St. Congregational church. Coming home in the evening of the 26th ult, he found bur- glar in his parlor whom he seized as he tried to escape, though the man had pistol. They l struggled through the hall, the burglar all the time trying to shoot the Doctor, or to get away. Then they rolled down the front steps ! together. The clergyman finally got the burg lar down but had a risky time keeping the muzzle of the pistol pointed away. Luckily 1 MT. Gurdon Trumbull came along. who was armed, aud soon persuaded the fellow to surrender. He gave his name ss Gillespie is thought to be a professional, and several other bNrglares in the city are attributed to 1 him. The affair showed great pluck on the l part of Dr. Gage, bu: in somewhat extended acquaintance with newspapers for the pas: fif- | teen years, this is the only instance we now remember in which an unarmed householder captured an armed burglar but we distinctly recollect some half dozen cases in which the unarmed house. holder was killed in such an attempt.
