POSTMASTER PUTNAM.

Senator Logan Proposes to Find Out as to Ais
Offensive Partisansilip.
Special TO the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON Dec. 25.-It will be noticed that
the Senate has confirmed but one appointment
of the President since it met on the 7tii instant
This was the appointment of John Bigelow to
be Assistant Treasurer Of the United States in
New York, vice Acton, whose term expires next
week There are something like $500 names
for the Senate to act upon, many of these being
postmasters who were removed for alleged
offensive partisanship The action of the Post
master-general in refusing to show to Repub-
lican senators and members of Congress the
charges upon which their friends were removed
from Office will certainly lead to a protracted
delay in the confirmation Of successors if it does
eventually defeat them entirely. Senator Logan
is understood to have put himself in communica-
tion with number of ex-soldiers holding federal
positions who have been removed at the instance
of the Postmaster general, and he is said to
have secured statements from many of them OF
their side of the case. The postmaster at James
town, N. Y, is a case in point. Major Putnam,
the Republican incumbent up to few months
ago. was one of the youngest cavalry officers in
President Arthur about a year ago. out of respect
to the wishes or nearly every business man in
Jamestown. Putnam was removed because he was
offensive partisan" His offensive partsanshp
first showed itself in the early part of the year
1862, when, boy just in his teens. he enlisted
in one of the New York regiments. His parti-
sanship grew as the war progressed, and showed
itself most conspicuously when he accepted
commission in the Union army. Since the close
of hostilites he has, very naturally, been an act
i've Republican, but when he accepted the Office Of
postmaster at jamestown he devoted himself. 10
assiduously to his duties that he received the
warInest commendation of every official con-
nected with the Department, and it was reported
to Postmaster general Villas that in some respects
he conducted the affairs of the office and estab-
lished free-delivery service in much better
manner than nine -tenths OF the Offices of its size
in the United States. But Democrat wanted
the place and got it. and Senator Logan pro-
poses to find out what the serious charges were
against this young officer that he should be re-
moved before year of his term had expired.
This is one of great many instances of sim
liar character which will delay the confirmation
of the Presidents appointments. The absurd,
unbusinesslike and frivolous circular sent out
by Mr.. Villas to Democratic congressman in the
West is bearing the fruit which might have been
expected, and it will certainly stir hornets
nest up in the Senate by his acting in such Dad
faith toward men who filled the offices when he
entered the Department from his obscure posi-
tion at the Wisconsin bar.

In the Session.


In the Session.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Dec, 25-There are indications
which warrant the hope that the contested
election cases to be decided by the Forty ninth
Congress will all be settled very soon after the
real organization of the House. 1t will be re-
membered that the Republican party in the last
House secured the passage of the bill to place
General Grant upon the retired list only by sac
riGcing one of it's members. "Tama Jim" Will
son, of Iowa, was as fairly elected to a seat as
any. member in the House. and no retained it
until the last day of the session because there
were some men on the other side who had not
the effrontery to vote to unseat him. But on
the last day. when it became evident that con-
cessons must be made to tho Democracy il the
Grant bill was to pass it was agreed that they
might have their man seated in payment
for the support of the Grant retirement bill.
In other words, in the forcible language Of Mr..
Price, of Wisconsin. the Democrats got $40, 900
to boot in this transaction, that was the
amount of salary which their man received after
he was seated. The fact that these cases were
allowed to drag along until the last hours created
such scandal all over the country that q de-
termination was expressed on the part OF those
likely to become members OF the elections COM
mittee to straighten out all these tangles as rap
idly as it can be done.

Jerks room are Campbell vs. Weaver, Iowa;

Eb Henderson May Be Made Governor of One

of the Territories.
Special to the IndianapoE5 Journal.
WASHINGTON, Dec 25.-According to state
ments of some Ineiana Democrats tonight Eb
Henderson is more likely to get position in one
OF the Territories n the Third Assistant
Postmaster genera 1t is said that when
Senator Voorhees, :alled upon the President
in the interest of -1r Henderson, the peculiar
characteristics or rather the whims of Post
master general Villas, and the probable action he
would take in the selection of his third assistant,
were discussed, after which the President in
quired, why wouldn't the governorship of one
of the Territories do for Mr. Henderson, Would
he take it2"
This put Senator Voorhees, to thinking II
was suggested to him that Villas had indicated
to the President that he had another man than
Henderson for the place, and the latter has been
considering the matter and has concluded he
will 60 West and grow up with the country il
he can at the same time draw the salary and
bask in the emouments of a governorship.
