BREWSTER AND MooDFoRp.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-Attorney Gen
eral Brewster has been having some sharp
correspondence with District Attorney
Woodford, of New York, relative to the
prosecution of alleged viola ion of postal
laws. Woodford had investigated it
far enough to ascertain that it was the re-
suit of negligence and not of intention,
and called the attorney generals attention
to a similar act of carelessness which con-
sisted in an acknowledgment by the at
torney general himself, under a govern
ment penalty envelope, ofsocial invitation.
The penalty for such use of mails bg the
attorney general, or anybody, is $500. To
this suggestion of Woodford, the attorney
general replied as follows:
"Your allusion to my personal letter an
Swerlng your invitation to the next New
England dinner, is not proper and is inad-
missible between US. 1t might not be in
admissible between gentlemen in a matter
of personal business, but as between the
head of this department and one of its
Subordinates it cannot be permitted. There
is no analogy in the illustration at any
rate. In the cases complained of official
complaints by authorized agents were pre-
ferIed and the department of the govern
ment asked that these complaints should
be prosecuted. The supposed mistakes of
the parties complained of are questions of
fact that you have undertaken to determine
when postoffice department thinks they
should be determined by legal proceed
ings. The letter wrote to you was bv my
clerk, very properly supposed to be an
official letter, because it was addressed to
the district attorney, and the clerk did not
know the contents of the letter or had for
gotten them; besides, am not on trial, nor
is there any complaint made against me,
and again suggest that such an allusion
was not differential and proper" am

tails the incidents of the cruise from the
departure at San Francisco in 1879, to

the elaborate account of De Longs views

cred it good judgment to head for Wran-
gel Land. His idea was to adopt that
land as support for the first winters cam

speech last night, advocated the destruc-
