uration of that new party which will
have but the single aim Of accomplish
ing thorough Governmental reform.
The Star Route fellows are yet giving
each other away. but It will be n long
time before tho country will fad out
which il the grandest rascal in the lot
Bliss, who has been charged with about
everything chargeGble iu the shape OF
dereliction in connection with the case,
has made his pathway clear TO tho con.
fessional by joining the Roman Catholic
church. There was and is no doubt that
Bliss was brought into the case specially
to acquit Dorsey, and the $3.50 per day
that be charged up to the Government,
aud which Charge must have been ap-
proved by Brewster, Attorney General,
was paid for services actually performed
for Dorsey, and not for the Government.
Ker showed up these things before the
Springer Committee, aud now Spencer
comes forward long enough to declare
that Dorsey lied when he said that he
ordered sl2 900 to be paid to Elkins, in
order TO secure immunity in the Star
Route trials. while Dick Merrick comes
on to the stand TO show that the whole
thing, from the finding of the indictment
10 the final verdict of the jury, was a
broad farce, out of which burlesque up
on justice he received but S3S. 600! There
are some other refreshing developments
yet to be made-s 80 many in fact that MIR.
Springer will not bo able to get them in
at this session.
Isuppose that John Logan's military
record is not to be questioned, ard /
don't know that any body desires to
question it, but in these piping times of
peace we naturally inquire something
about the record of men who arrogate TO
themselves a claim to leadership in civil
affairs. Logan had no sooner entered
into public life than he began to precipi-
tate bis family and friends upon tho pub
lie eXchequer, and his family was the
largest that has been known since the
DAYS of MaccRbeus He has quartered
upon the military and civil list n horde
of political cormorants larger than any
Senator or Representative was ever re-
sponsible for before. and has adroitlv
cultivated the friendship of each sue
ceedlug administration to the extent Of
retaining the patronage not only of his
own State but of the whole Northwest,
wherein be has made places for that new
er-to-be-satiated host of place-seekers
nestled in the ranks of the G. A. Il, 1t
is with this most unsavory record that
Logan now goes before the people of this
great country asking to be given the Sc
cond highest position in the Government
in which the opportunities of an increas-
ed patronage are the sole inducements for
his ready accentance of the nomination,
1t is possible, though not at all pro
bable that Congress will adjourn in the
early part July. Should the House nj
once take up the business that the Senate
has prepared for it. and which has been
on the Speakers table for six weeks, il
can rush it through and adjourn by that
time. Bnt there seems to he q disposi-
ton on the part of both Senators and
Representatives to await the action of
the coming Democratic Convention, in
order TO inject few hundred campaign
speeches into the RECORD and have them
