WASHINGTON LETTER.

The most successful Of our modern
naval officers was eloqucntly praised
by orators on Monday last on the &C.
casion Of unwilling statue in his
honor in this city. There was entire
absence Of anything Of D partizan ma
ture in the proceedings. Only one
other event of the kind has occurred
here since the war Of which the same
could be said. Oddly enough that
too was commemorative Of our naval
heroes. On Monday the President
accepted the Farragut statue in be-
half Of the country, in brief speech,
then Hon Horace Maynord and then
Senator Voorhees,.
The sudden change Of weather is
having an excellent effect. Senators
who have remained in session through
months of cool weather, have required
but three or four days Of summer
heat to drive them into caucus. At
this writing there is no reliable re-
port of what the Republicans caucus,
called for today, agreed to, but there
is no doubt whatever but that this or
one soon to follow it, will consent to
permit the Senate to 60 into execu-
tive session. This means though no
formal declaration of tho kind may
DO made that the Republicans have
given up all hope Of electing Senate
officers ut this session. The great
quarrel in executive session will be
over Robertson, of Now York. With
in few days tho friends Of Senator
Conkling have claimed confidently
that Robertson would be defeated.
Probably q few days will determine
the question. The National Repub-
lican which is in part owned by Gen.
Brady, whose resignation as Second
Assistant Postmaster General, was
demanded, earnestly defends the
General from charges of collision
with contractors. 1t intimates that
the General received money from
them, but only to aid in the election
of Garfield, and that the latters writ
ten authority was first secured. l
wonder if any business or industry
of the country, Legitimate or illegit-
mate, was spared by the remorseless
collector of funds, in efforts to elect
Garfield, and defeat Hancock. That
the campaign was to be one of money,
was shown when this same Republic
can stated incautiously, shat he was
going to New York to consult with
the great capitalists of the country.
Every day since, there has been made
public some proof that money and
nothing but money, carried the cleo
ton. This new development of the
Republican that the fraudulent Post
Office Contractors were bled in the
cause is the most interesting OF all.
1t so happily illustrates the methods
of the party Of great moral ideas!
1t may be stated with positiveness,
though the contrary impression pre-
walls, that not only several members
ef the Cabinet but the President him
self consult with Democratic Senators
as to the personal fitness of persons
urged for Federal offices in Demo
cratic states. OF course such consul
tation is not had with view to the
selection of Democrats to office, but
only as the best means Of ascertaining
the mental and moral qualifications
of official candidates. DIN.

STAR ROUTE FRAUDS

Special Counsel Employed to Prosecute
Members of the Ring, But Prosecutions
Not Likely to be Begun Before Septe m
ber.
WASHINGTON, June Col. w. A. Crook,
special counsel secured by the government to
prosecute those implicated in the star route
fraud, day took the oath of office, and went
into an examination of the evidence SO far
gathered by the investigation under Postmas-
ter General James. He will prepare
the cases for the grand jury,
and have their entire management,
under supervision and direction of Attorney
General MacVeagh. The attorney general,
to-day, said to a correspondent of the Western
Associated Press, that there was no hurry in
bringing the matter before the grand jury Of
the district, but that the fact that a special
counsel had been employed to aid indicated
that the government was nearly ready to CON-
mence the prosecution. He thought, he said,
and would certainly be pretty confident
that such was the case before
any move was made The cases TO be
presented by the government would be srs-
tanned before jury of twelve men. There had
been some difficulty, he contended, in procur-
ing testimony on some important points, but
the investigation of James was very rapidly
supplying that deficiency. 1t is not consider
ed at ell likely the cases will be presented to
the grand jury at the present term. The next,
which is called the June term, will commence
the goth inst The court usually takes a re-
cess to September so the presentation of the
matter to the grand jury may be delayed until
then. The attorney general and all connected
with the matter officially refuses to say any
thing concerning who will be brought before
the grand jury for Indictment. There is an
uncertain feeling among mail contractors and
officials who are reported involved in the
frauds. The contractors are either here them
selves or have their interests looked after by
special counsel.

The music loving people of st. Paul will be
glad to welcome to the city the greatest vio-
linist af the age, Eduard Remenyi, who is an
nounced for 4 concert on Saturday evening.
The sale of seats will begin at the Opera house
this morning. Of Mr.. Remenyi the New
York Tribune says:
The Hungarian violinist. Eduard Remenyi,
who made his first appearance at Steinway hall,
IS one of those phenomenal artists who can be
measured by the standard of no other men.
Comparison, in most cases, is but pnchbeck
criticism, and with such an exceptional and
original performer rs this it Is entirely use
less. All his work bears the mark of his own
strong character, and in everything that he
does, whether we consider the intellectual
conception of the piece or the technical exc
cution of it, the differences which separate
him from other violnists are differences not
so much in the degree of merit as in the kind.
X The elegance, precision and neat
ness of Remenyi's work is not less notable
than its brilliancy.

Brutal Treatment of an EfTiHO HiJe at
Her Husbands Burial.
PITTsBURG, Pa, May 21.-An exciting aud
unusual scene took place at the funeral Of a
young man named Thomas J. Smith in Trinity
Methodist church, yesterday afternoon. He
had been divorced from his wife for six months
on account of her unfaithfulness, which Is
said to have been the cause of his death. Since
their separation the wife has been an inmate
of q house of ll-fame. Yesterday, when the
lid of the coffin was unclOsed to allow the
friends to look at the face of the dead for the
last time, his wife, who was III the church,
moved frantically toward the coffin and was
within few feet when brother of the de-
ceased threw his arms over the glass and pre-
vented her from looking in. The woman made
desperate attempt to get to the coffin, ex-
claiming, "Oh, my God, / must see my hus-
band; Will see him in spite OF you. The moth
er of the dead man ordered the woman away
and the sister shouted, ''You ruined Ty broth
er, and you cannot look at him." The wild
est commotion ensued in the church, but final
ly quiet was restored and the funeral proceeded
to The cemetery, where another scene occurred.
The wife with streaming eyes begged to see
her husband, but her request was refused, and
while she was carried from the cemetery her
cries were heart-rending.
