STEPHEN ". DORSEY.
He Explains His Connection With the
Star Routes.

Stephen W. Dorsey furnishes for publica-
tion tonight long card addressed to the
public in which he gives in detail his connec-
ton with the star routes. He claims he
never made dollar out of these contracts,
that his brother, j. w. Dorsey, and his
brother-in-law. Peck, went into the business
against his view and they lost large sums OF
their own money beside $4,000 he had
loaned them at various times. Failing to
recover this money, Senator Dorsey says be
accepted as security a number of star route
contracts which had been awarded to Peck
and Dorsey. and obtained expedition and
increased service on four or five small routes
In June. 1879" he saws, Il turned this
whole mail business over to other hands and
from that day t. this l have never had any
thing more to do with it than the President
of the United States has had. Frem that
time have never written a letter. Dorsey
attributes his prosecution to personal spite
IN the part OF James. McVeagh and Brewster,
and referring to a recent letter of the attor-
ney general to President Arthur in which
the star route defenders are denounced, he
SAYS, Brewster has dragged the robes of his
great office into the filth and slime of de-
bauchery so many times it is to be expected
that person guilty of such atrocious acts of
immortality would be guilty of equally infa-
nous acts in the administration OF the office
he holds and dishonors. He occupies quasi
judicial position, but in advance of trial and
in official communication to his chief, in
language that would disgrace the merest
police court shyster, this attorney denOunces
the defendants in The star route cases as
q band of robhers,' great rascals, thieves,
etc.

WASHINGTON. Dec |.
A special despatch received here tonight
announces the death of Congressman Upde-
graft, of the sixteenth Ohio district, at his
home in Mount Pleasant. this evening. DIR.
Updegraff went home last summer when Con-
gress adjourned apparently in good health.
but soon after became sick with Bright's
disease, and was unable to take any part in
tie canvass. which resulted, however, in his
election. For some time he has been con-
sidered past hope. He was about fifty years
of age, large and well proportioned, and very
popular with his fellow members. In early
life he graduated from the medical school of
the University of Pennsylvania, and after
wards studied in London and Paris. He was
surgeon to one of the last Ohio regiments in
the war, presidential el,.ctor in 1872. chairman
OF the State committee in the campaign of
1879. when Hayes was elected governor,
delegate TO the national convention of 1876,
and first elected TO Congress in 1873. AL
though having served but one term, he was
appointed at the beginning of the present
Congress chairman of the committee on
education and labor. He will probably be
succeeded by republican.

HALLOWELL.

The lecture on Thursday evening by Hon.
Wm Parsons was not so we'll attended as
the first entertainment in the course, proba-
bly, on account of its being Thanksgiving
evening when most people intend to be at
home with their families. But those who
attended were richly paid for their efforts, as
the lecture was very interesting and instruc-
tive, and delivered in Mr.. Parsons eloquent
style.
There will be a meeting of kennebec
Lodge on Saturday evening-work in the
third degree and on Tuesday evening next
there will be lecture, for Masons only, in
Masonic Hall, by Rob. Morris who for about

There is some reason to fear that the
country has not seen the end OF the recent
conflict between the Kentucky State troops
In charge Of the murderers Neal and Graft
and the lynchers at Ashland. On behalf
Of the troops it is asserted that they fired
only when the security Of their prisoners
actually required IL; but the evaporation
Of the people OF Boyd county is said to be
increasing against the soldiers who, ex-
cusably or not, killed innocent lookers-on
upon the river bank. There appears to
be actual danger that more blood will be
shed when the prisoners are taken to Car
ter county for trial in February.
The democrats of the South propose
not to pay any attention to the promises
of reform made before election by the
northern democracy. They are going to
deiraud Kellogg of his seat in the House
although he was elected by two thousand
majority. The State Canvassers had no
trouble in compiling the vote of all the
other districts where democrats were elect
ed, but when they reached the Third they
threw out the two parishes in which
kellogg's majority was the largest. but
this still left Kellogg two thousand votes
ahead of Acklen. and as the latter carried
but four parishes out of the twelve it was
found to be impossible to defeat Kellogg
in that way. Soas the last resort Gov.
McEnery has refused him a certificate of
election on the ground that he was not a
resident of the district or State. The
leopard cannot change its spots. nor the
democracy forget to practise fraud in
election matters.
