A Remarkable Document.

We print the letter alleged to have
been written by ex-senator Dorsey to the
late President Garfield shortly before the
latter's Inauguration, in which the emf
nent Star Route statesman ventures
some advice upon the important matter
of the selection of a cabinet officer from
the state of New York. 1t is interesting
as showing tho intimate relations exist
ing between the two and the assurance
and freedom with which Dorsey ad
dressed Garfield is scarcely more sIgnifi-
cant in its way than is the production of
the document at this particular juncture
when the chief of the Star Route thieves,
together with his co-conspirators, finds
himself hard pressed. The recent turn
that has been given to the trial of the
Star Route band is said to have greatly
frightened the defendants and their
counsel, who are vainly casting about for
some avenue of escape from the meshes
of justice that are closing around them.
Dorsey's palpable purpose in springing
this impudent letter upon the public
is to show that the Arthur ad-
ministratiOn is under obligations
to him and his partners in the
Star Route villaiDy, and its publication
now evinces a tact and shrewdness that
are in keeping with the reputation of
he ast ute political maaipulator who as
sumes the responsibility of its author
ship. 1t is clearly 6 last card " dodge,
and a significant feature of the letter is
that the writer attacks with especial
fierceness the leaders in the prosecutions
pending against him, namely James,
Mac cVeagh and Bliss. Some of our Re-
publican contemporaries are assuming
that the letter is an impudent forgery
and afterthought. If such it be the
friends of the late administration should
lose no time in proving its fraudulent
character :; while, to quote an opinion
from an independent source, assuming
the letter to be genuine, unless it can be
shown that General Garfield promptly
resented the communication as piece
of unwarrantable impertinence, and
closed, at once, his acquaintance with
the writer, there cannot fail to be a
strong Impression on the public mind
that the late presidents relations with
Mr.. Dorsey Z" were sullied by those scan
dalous characteristics which have occa-
sionally heretofore been ascribed to
them"

mitted on Lizzie McClarren, was taken

He assembled to the garret and crawled
out upon Utzinger's roof, and thence into
the dormer window Of George Borger's
house, next door. He was seen, however,
and Mr.. Borger's house was also sur
rounded. On being notified that Kilchrist
was in his house, Mr.. Berger led the way
up stairs and assisted the police in making
the arrest. Kilchrist finding there was NO
means of escape made no resistance, and
was taken to tho station house and thence

SAD ACCIDENT.
A Little Girl Fatally Burned.

n AlIu0 VITA E0SA1Ay A1uahONs
A sad accident occurred to Mary Lytle,
81 months old daughter Of Scott Lytle
residing Oh Andrew street, on Saturday
night, by which she lost her life.
1t appears that Mrs. Lytle went to
call on Mrs. Abner Supplee on South
Queen street in the evening, taking with
her her daughter Daisy aged i2 years and
little Mary. The children renamed at
Mrs. SUPPLIES while their mother and
Mrs. S. went up street. About 0 O'Clock
the smallest child was taken to the water
closet by her sister, who left her there for
4 moment. A lighted candle was left
standing near tue little ono and while
alone she pulled it over to her, setting fire
to her clothing. A little colorcd boy who
was near and vino saw the accident, ran
to the assistance of the child and turned
running hose upon it, extiuguishing the
flames. The little girl was taken into tho
house and DR.. NJ. L. Herr was sent for.
1t was found she was badly burned about
the arms and had inhaled the flames. She
received tho closest attention, but at about
10 o'clock this morning she died of her in
juries. The child was unusually bright
for her age and had many friends.

New JERSEY, whose coast las long
been the home of sea-serpents and other
startling phenomena, presents acuriosity
of novel species in the person of a
negro who can furnish documentary
proof that he is one hundred and twenty
seven years old, and who boldly avOws
that he never even saw the late lamented
G. w., much less acted as his body SER
want. 1t is such a common occurrence
to stumble across ancient descendants OF
Ham who attest to their intimate re-
lations with the Father of his Country
that the Camden specimen of RevOlu-
tionary times which has just been un
earthed has more than ordinary interest
for antiquarians and relic hunters. Ii
some enterprising Snowman could secure
possession of this remarkable individual
he might safely undertake to star him
against Barnum and his Jumbo.

THE destruction of the county insane
asylum, while in the nature of a present
disaster to the inmates, may not prove
an unmixed evil TO the county or to the
poor unfortunates who were compelled
to find refuge within its walls. 1t has
been notorious that the building was un-
fitted to the purposes for which it was
used, and the location of the institution
had been uniaYorably criticised by those
whose opinion in the matter is not
without weight. 1t is to be hoped that
the directors Of the poor in celebrating
upon the course to be taken in the pres
ent state of affairs may be guided by a
just sense of the responsibilities con-
fronting them, and give us an institu
tion especially adapted in every particu'
lar to the needs and requirements of the
insane. And let one of the reforms
which it is to be hoped will be effected ,
be a provision for a resident physician
at the institution.

The guests of the Hotel Bellevue, just
above Seabright, stampeded on Sunday
because of two cases of typhoid fever
among their number. Captain James IL.
Corey, the proprietor of tho hotel, posted
the following notice in the office yesterday
afternoon:
81 will close this hotel on Monday sure. -
J. II. CODEY.
Tne patients are N. w. Andrews, a
brother in law of Cyrus w. Field, jr., and
Mrs. Albert Levy, a relative Of the Selig'
mans. Mr.. Corey is very anxious that the
sick persons should be moved from the
hotel at once. He said that if they re
NAMED he would not receive other guests,
and that his loss would be at least 50. SUI.
He said he had notified Cyrus w. Field,
jr., that Mr.. Andrews must be removed on
Monday, and had told Mr.. Levy that he
must take his wife away. They had re-
fused to take tho patients from the house,
and he could not afford to keep it open
with only tho two families there. MIR.
Field said that DIR. N. II. Henry, tho ply
sician attached to the hotel, aud Drs.
Meyer. Field and E. G. Janeway, all OF
New York, had decided, after long con-
sultatiOn, that Mrs. Levy and MIR. An
drews were in too critical state to be
moved at present, and that as soon as they
should be able to stand removal they
should be taken away.
Mr.. Corey wanted s., 500 each from
Mr.. Levy and myself" said MIR. Field,
" for keeping the sick persons here foI
tho next ton days. The physicians said
they could not be removed inside of ten
days without running tho risk of killing
them both. If Mr.. Corey will mako out
4 bill charging us a reasonable sum fol
these members of the two families who
arc compelled to remain here we will pay
it, but will not pay the sum he demands,
and we cannot allow tho sick persons to
be removed unless the physicians say il
can he done with perfect safety"
Mr.. Levy agreed with Mr.. Field in his
statement. Mr.. Corey said he would shut
up the entire house to-day, and prose
cute any one who broke into it. He be.
licved the sick persons could be moved
without endangering their lives and he
could not afford to have the house shut uI
at this season of the year. If the patients
were removed at once he thought he could
reopen as soon as the rooms wero renovated
and keep his hotel full of guests for the
rest of the season. If the patients were
kept in the hotel he wanted his loss made
good. DR.. Janeway said the patients
could not be moved without great danger;
and DIR. Henry, in an interview, agreed
with him. The other physicians were
absent. The friends of the sick person,
claim that their illness was caused by thu
imperfect sanitary arrangements of thu
hotel. The two patients are slowly i'm
proving, but are still very weak.
