UNHAPPY BRADY.
The Star Route Gang Not so

Days Since.

Special TO the COURIER ournal.l
WASHINGTON, October 1.-The
Star Route people are not so jubilaRt
as they were a few days since. They
expected the new administration
would let up on them. They are now
convinced that the President is deter
mined to push the prosecution to the
end, no matter who may be hurt. The
employment of Messrs. Brewster and
Bliss was promptly accepted by the
Star Reuters as a warning, and they at
once commenced to prepare for a bitter
fight. The parties who have hereto
fore had charge Of the preparations of
the cases under the direction of the
Attorney General have been conn.,
PEELED to take back seats and allow
Brewster aud Bliss to come to the
front. The cases will be presented to
the grand jury tomorrow, excepting
those who have already been pre-.
sented to the court. There seems to
be no sort Of doubt but what the adj
jOurnment Of the grand jury, which
was effected on the 18th Of September
was a move in the interest of Brady
and company. 1t would have been
successful had not new hands been
employed to run the case for the
government.

1t struck an outside barbarian that
there was a world of method in the
Ohio mourning. Writing from Cleve-
land, a correspondent of the Herald
says: THAT business face belongs to
Governor Foster, and the young men
around him compose his staff. He
looks as if he would ike to shake
hands with the assembled company
and ask them to remain and vote early
and vote often on the coming election.
The Governor is stunning for Governor.
His rival, Bookwalter, l am told, is
here, but | do not see him. Even in
the solemn pageant of universal woe
the comedy of politics can be re-
pressed. 1 tell YOU said a Republi-
can politician this morning with
gloomy eyes, I do not like this. The
Democrats are putting on more Grape
than we are, and the Grape is blacker,
