In the following from the Cincinnati
Enquirer, Dorsey expresses his idea o.
what is going to be elected by the stal
route Investigators, and there may be more
truth than poetry in his prediction. Al
any rate in view of the Hubhel letter the
country viii be very slow about letting the
investigation be hushed up:
Col Fred Mussey of Gov. Fosters
staff took supper Thursday night with Gen
Brady at the Gilsey House in New York
Fred expressed disbelief in the existence
of Star Route Ring. OF course, he made
the remark to extort confession, and il
did"
There was a Star Route Ring" said
Gen. Brady, fand a formidable one,
too"
''What were its objects?" asked Fred.
THE election of Gen. Garfield" was the
answer And he continued: When these
gentlemen of the Cabinet get their case
into court they will succeed in proving it.
The Ring was organized for the purpose OF
raising money to aid in the election and il
had no other object or aim. A similar CON
spiracy existed in every other department
of the Government. Almost every en-
ployee of the Government contributed
money to that end. If contributions by
the contractors were an evidence that they
were paid too much, then the same rule
should apply to other employees"

While we are so busy all over the cou

While we are so busy all over the coun-
try discussing the subject of bribery there
is one phase of that peculiar political Gus
tom that needs comment badly.
State Senator Robert Strahan's testimony
before the legislative bribery committee
was to the effect that he was hastily sum
moned to New York just as the senatorial
canvass began in Albany, and that there
he met John L Davenport, who, in behalf
of President James A. Garfield, rendered to
Mr.. Strahan the United States marshalship
for the Southern district of New York.
Davenport frankly said that Strahan's in
fuence was expected to be turned against
Conkling and Plat, and he demanded an
immediate answer. Strahan declined to
accept the Office on those terms, and in
less than twenty four hours another man
was appointed.
Strahan is Conkling man and has voted
for him steadily. Here we have direct
offer from the president of the United
States, that if he (Strahan) viii desert his
friends and use his vote and influence, he
can have the marshalship, otherwise not.
VIII any of you astute politicians tell US
wherein that differs from bribery? What
difference lies between offering a man ten
thousand dollars and an Office that will pay
him that much? Wherein lies the distinc-
ton between telling legislator, eff you
will vote for me, I will give you money,
or II will give you an officer" But there
does seem to be a difference in the way
people look at it. When Sessions
offered Bradley money, the country
was shocked. But the President can offer
Strahan an Office for his vote and little
comment is heard. The crime is the same
in either case, in the latter the shame is
the more. The first instance was but the
attempt of man who has had for long,
no other profession, and made no pretence
of other; in the second the President of
the United States is implicated. the man
whom we choose as chief magistrate of
this broad country of ours and whom,
for the sake of our very shame, we would
like to believe honest and honorable, spot
less and pure let the evidence against him
be what it will. On him rests the honor of
our fair land. He is our representative,
and if he sins the shame is on US all He
is the chosen magistrate, the chief above
all, and his disgrace is our disgrace, his
dishonor our dishonor.

Gen. Longstreet said to representative
Of the Critic:
Il have not read Mr.. Davis book. but
have seen extracts published in some lead
ing papers, in which Gen, tombstone was
severely handled by Mr.. Davis. I think
the attack wholly uncalled for. Gen Hood
after he assumed command of Johnston's
forces, carried out Mr.. Davis plans, and
made failure. That in itself is sufficient
evidence in my mind, that Gen. Johnston
plans were the more practical. However,
at that period of the war everybody recog-
nized the fact that we were leading a for
lorn hope"
Upon being asked by the reporter if
there was any truth in the report that he
proposed to organize an independent par
ty in Georgia something on the plan of
the Malone movement, he said There is
no foundation for the statement. l am not
follower of Gen. Malone; he is a Demo
crat, l am Republican. I am fourteen
years ahead of Malone, and am firmly fix
ed in my Republican principles At this
late day / do not intend to jump the track
and ally myself with quasi Democratic
organization. If l believed Gen. Malone
to be right would support him in his
movement. have not as yet studied the
readjuster question, but if, as is alleged by
some, Mahone's party intends to repudiate
portion Of the state debt, then | am OPP
posed to him and his party
Gen. Longstreet viii leave for Georgia
to morrow. He viii enter upon his new
duties, as marshal of Georgia on the 1st of

Many Republican think the Legislature
of New York should not adjourn because
in that case the way would be open to
elect Democratic Senators They never
made a greater mistake. Every day that
the fight continues in Albany sees deserters
