Postal Telegraphy to be introduced

WAsHINaroN, Dec. 23.-The move
ment for the establishment Of postal
telegraphy in this country is to be revi.
we'd at this session of Congress. Bills
for this purpose have been repeatedly
introduced. but for some reason have
never been pushed with sufficient vigor
to command for them much attention.
Mr. Springer. of Illinois, who is mem
ber of the House Post-Oifiae Commit
tee, has requested from the State and
Post Office Departments full informa-
tion hearing upon the postal telegraph
systems Of other countries, upon which
he intends to work as basis for bill
to establish system here upon the most
thoroughly improved methods.

A Startling Exhibit.

The New York Times has devoted q
great deal of time and independent ef-
fort to exposing the operations Of the
Star Routes swindes, and is more fa-
miIlar with the subject than any other
journal of the country
As summary OF its discoveries it
now presents several columns Of figures
showing the transactions Of ex Senator
Dorsey in connection with the Postoflite
Department, which make a very start
ling exhibit of the enormity of the swim
dies perpeirated under the Brady ad-
minstration.
Without going into these tables at
length, it may be stated that Dorsey and
his partner or partners took contracts
for some one hundred and thirtyfour
routes, and twelve Of these were either
discontinued or abandoned. On the re
mainder the contracts called for certain
specific service for four years, for which,
in round numbers, sl30,000 year was
to be paid. Before the contract term
vas ended-in most cases within few
months of its beginning-the pay was
increased TO over 100000 year.
The psetext ia nearly every case was
expedition" that is, for quicker travel ;
in some few, additional trips were Or
dered On the face of it, this whole bu-
siness was an obvious swindle. The
discrepancy cannot in any other way be
explained. Moreover, in great many
cases the pretended increased service
was lever performed The payments
we're made On false sffi iavits, and thus
between fraud and perjury the thieves
managed to commit the most gigantic
frauds upon the Government ever
known. Altogether the exhibit made
by the Times is not equalled in the an.
nails Of fraud in any instance. unless IT
be that in which tbe Hayes Administra-
lion dished out rewards for the theft OF
the Presidency.

GUITEAU IN THE DOCK.

In Court on the 29.h ulf. counsel for
The Government moved that GUIrEAU be
placed in the Dock.
On consideration Of all the circn'n-
stances the Court thought the motion
should he granted, and that the prisoner
should be
PLACED IN THE DOCK,

he exposed to ANY danger. He should
have the fullest protection.

dock, which was 6!lsd at the time With
spectators-"To settle the matter / will
sit quietly here. VIII it not be satisfac-
tory il I keep q1iet and stay here? i

The Court directed the Marshal to
clear the dock and place the prisoner
there.
During the confusion and noise Incl
dent to this movement :he prisoner ex-
claimed ia suhiued tone, II have no
objection to going to the dock if yonr
honor says so"
The Conr5-s'T say so simply in the
hope Of keeping you quiet"
Prisoner-"I move the court room be
cleared. II I am going into the dock l
want the court room cleared"

The Court directed the Marshal to

Take time on this CorkhiIl. You are
hsving your way for few minutes, but
God grinds slow, bot sure. You have
got no case, and you know it,
The District Attorney, in reply to
Scovillss speech, stated that he had
been always opposed to having any ex-
tra guards around the prisoner He be-
Iieved in al!o wing him to stand his trisl
like anv other man. No violence would
come to him any more than to a crimi-
nal charged with smaller offanse. He
did not wish any special protection
around the prisoner, nor did he think it
necessary. 1t WAS an indication that he
was in danger. He (CoykhiH) never
thought he was in danger.
Scoville, sneeringly-You must think
everybody ls going to miss,
LIKE BILL JONES.
The prisoner here broke in with an ex-
preston OF satisfaction with his present
position, and thanking His Honor fol-
moving him there.

GE Mr.. Rutherford R. Haves !

EF Mr.. Rutherford B. Hayes has
been unable to subscribe to the Garfield
monument furd, or TO the fund for the
benefit Of Mrs Garfield, on account OF
his poverty. lnasmuch as it is matter
of no,oriety that. during Mr.. Tilden's
term of Office Mr.. Hayes did not spend
any money when he was away from the
White House, and spent very little when
he was there, and habitually lodged tie
campaign-assessment collector, there
will be some curiosity manifested to
know what became of his salary. Can
it be possible that The goodishly goody
good Mr.. Hayes, unwsrned ny the fate
of Icarus, took little flyers in the blue

@ Does anybody suppose that the

Randall should have been put on this
