Maeveagh's Letter . the President.
PHIIADKLPHIA, Nov. N.-Tho follow
ing lotter from Attorney General Mac
Veagh 10 President Arthur, Just before
his retirement from the Cabinet. will
appear in tho Times tomorrow morning:
my DEAR Nh. PRKsD1ST:-Your let
ter just reached me. l will como TO see
you, and talk over once more the sub
ject Of the star routes, which we will
treat in the same spirit of Cancellation
in which We have heretofore discussed
it. will telegraph in advance of my
coming, which will be just as soon as /
can free myself from engagements here.
In the interval wish you to consider
again the reasons why cannot share
your opinion on this subject, as have
already told you. knew nothing about
the star route frauds until President
Garfield called my attention then. He
them investigated; to remove all persons
who ought to have prevented them, and
see that all persons were prosecuted
against whom reasonable grounds
for such q course were developed
by investigation. He said he
had explained to the Postmaster -Gener-
al the same views, and also why he
wished to consult him rather than the
District-Attorney of the District. The
Postmaster General called upon me and
We went together to tbs President. He
was quite emphatic as before in his ex-
preston of his own opinion upon the
subject. He spoke of the frauds as
unparalleled villanies, as lOathsome
ulcer of the body pOlitic, needing to be
cut out with all its roots, no matter
where they extended and pestilated.
While it did not belong to my depart
ment, certainly not at all, at that stage
OF the matter, yet he wished to associate
me with the POstmaster-G General to tho
extent of having the latter feel at per-
feet liberty to consult me at any time
about it. He said he intended to re-
move General Brady as soon as the
Postmaster General could find . satisg
factory successor. At subsequent in
terview he regretted to delay in
that matter, and directed his immedi-
ate removal, as he held him principally
responsible for the great fraud, which
he evidently was convinced had been
committed. As soon as General Bra
dy's resignation had been demanded,
his newspaper not unnaturally began to
abuse President Garfield, the Po6tmas-
ter General, myself and everybody in
any way connected with the investiRa-
ti0n. On this subject ! speak without
the sliRhtest personal warmth, for
thenCeforth ! ceased reading them,
and only know what I have been told
by others, who read the papers. PYeGi-
dent Garfield subsequently expressed q
regret that he had exposed me to such
attacks, by connecting me with mat
tor not necessarily part of my duty. I
told him regarded il a. an honor to be
abused in his company. l added to the
general proposition, that in these days,
abuse of thieves is about tho only deco
sations in our public life worth win
ming. and it is the surest possible pass
port to the good opinion Of honest mon.
In this spirit, and this oompanionship,
I went, in advocacy Of the President
and Postmaster General.

New ships.
New Yonx, Nov. N.-The Telegram
says it is rumored in shipping circles
that ono of our railroad millionaires
would build feet Of sailing ships for
tho Pacific Coast. A Telegram reporter
called on w. H. Starbuck for informa-
ton regarding tho matter. Starbuck
said the story was hardly true, but prob
ably sprung from tho fact that he had
already contracted for ono ship of 5000
tons, and had in contemplation the
building of five more. These ships, the
repol ter learned, arc to be 24f feet long,
- feet beam, q feet depth of hold; and
