Correspondent.

WASHINGTON, March 27.-The in,
dictmentof William Pitt kellogg BY
the grand jury to day for completely in
he Star Route frauds creates topic
for much gossip. General kellogg is
perhaps the best known Official in
Washington life. His official career
during and since the war has been a
marked, and. In many respects, q
most extraordinary one. He was
Collector of the port of New Orleans
from 1864 to 1856, when he was elected
United States Senator from Louisiana.
and in 1872 elected Governor OF Louis
lana, which Office he held for four
years, when he was again elected
United States Senator, and his term
expired with the close of this last
Congress. In the lest election he
was elected to Congress from
the Third District in Louisiana,
defeating j. H. Acklen, Democrat.

ready and willing at all times to do
any kind Of corrupt and dirty work.

ing the man. Kellogg is the best
friend the newspaper men have at
Washington. He will 90 out of his
way any time to give them a good
item, and the best Of it is, he is gen ].
orally the possessor gilmore news than
anybody else. What he does not
know about what is going on in
" ashington is not worth knowing.
He has given the Courier Journal a
number Of good items during the
winter, and its correspondent never
abuses a man that furnishes
him good news. This is a
pointer. Senator Kellogg is, of course,
bitter partisan, and may be
termed an inscriptions politician,
but with all that he is personally an

not a selfish man, and has succeeded
in getting more persons appointed to
good lucrative Government positions
than any man in the country who has
not been at the head Of Department
1t may be that Kellogg is guilty OF the
charges as set forth in the indict
ments, but il he is, he is no more
guilty than ten thousand other Re-

Special to the Commercial Gazette.
BosToN, March 28.-The Senate
judiciary Committee made long re
port to day, recommending the pas,
sage over Governor Buffers veto, of a
bill extending the time OF organiza>
ton Of the Somerville Wharf Compa,
ny two years. The committee calls
attention to the language OF the Gov
ernor, as follows:
He insinuates, very clearly, that
the Legislature has been careless and
negligent in allowing this bill without
due consideration, to pass through its
several stages to be enacted. 1t is
probably the only instance in modern
times where the Chief Executive of a
civilized State or nation has addressed
a message in like language to either
branch of a legislative body, and
your committee would recommend that
the Senate express its sense of the
undigniiied and unbecoming manner
in Which His Excellency has seen it
to address, in some appropriate mans
ner, to the end that the same may be
spread upon its journal, and thus be
come part of its permanent records
1t would be natural to expect in a
message imputing carelessness to 9th
ers, that the utmost accuracy would
be found in all its statements of fact
and opinion; but your committee were
panied to find that His Excelleucy
has 50 loaded his message with errors,
mistakes and blunders that to be
charitable we were forced to the con
clusiOn that he had never had the bill
returned, except in the parliamentary
phrase, by the title"
This is fair specimen of the way
the committee deals with the Governs
or s last veto, to the extent of over two
columns of the Herald. The bill will
probably pass over the veto.
