THE DEAD LETTER SALE.
Scenes nj DOwlfng's Auction Rooms
this MOrning-A Large Crowd and
Spirited bidding.

Ihere was crowded house at Bowling S auc-
ton rooms, corner of 18th street and Pennsyi-
vania avenue, this morning The occasion was
the beginning OF the annual dead letter Office
sale. Inc western half Of the ground floor was

In neat rows on long tables The crowd occupied
the eastern half of the room and between them
and the heaps of parcels was counter on
which Mr. Mark Latimer, the auctioneer, and
MS assistants held forth. The scene was very
animated and the bidding spirited. The spec
tators were supplied with catalogues-pam-
phiets OF eighty pages each-in which were
miscellaneous articles: i ,saS books and 70
parcels containing jewery, silver plate, &c.
inese represented one years accumulation OF
uhoehVered articiers in the dead letter ONCE.
THE ELEMENT OF CHANCE.
The sale was the more interesting because it
had a little element of chance in it. The par
GELS were closed and the purchaser could tell
what he was buying only from the brefdescrip-
ioh gwen In the catalogue. To the honor OF
work Is remarkable for truthfulness and cam
uor. PROBABLY no other auctiOneers catalogue
ever announced, as this does. that certain
parcel contained "damIyed underwear" 1t is
True that the extent of the damages are not set
forth, but still the public is put on its guard
described as containing ssmoth-eaten dress
goods another as containing "a pair of dam
ageu k1d Gloves" another 1.-TWO pairs cheap

THE SONG OF THE AUCT1oNEER.
The auctioneer and his assistant kept up a
lively rattle all the time. to which low mutter-
Ing responses were made by the bidders.
Forty five, forty-five-is that your bid-forty-
I'VE going, going; fifty, fifty, gone at fifty
Don't let 1t lie on the floor. Now, here's the
next parcel. Number 10 That was the solo
part sung by the auctioneer. The cashier had
an alto part, which usually consisted of the
words fifty cents paid" A gentleman with a
haVersack full of coins strapped over his
shoulder stood by the auctiOneer and showed
much deXterity in catching silver pieces
thrown to him from the outskirts of the crowd,
which was SO dense that man at the outer
edge could not transact business with the cash
over the heads of the people. Fifty cents
seemed TO be the magic sum- for that was the
amount which most of the parcels brought this
morning.
THE PARCELS
usually contained several articles, and their
character was varied and interesting One par
cell contained doll, pair OF infants socks and
shoes, 81 damaged hair switch. a piece OF
calico and Il ribbon. Another contained razor,
pack of cards, q toothbrush and bee-smOker.

REPUTATION OF AN ABSURD CAMPAIGN STORY.
Wash. Cor. Baltimore Sun.
Some few weeks since, in conversation with
your correspondent, Gen. Fitz Lee, In referring
to the allegations as to his riding the saddle of
his uncle and the comments OF Gen. Logan and
other republican speakers on the "treason
stained saddle" remarked that it was possible
the saddle which he rode in ROckbride county.
Va, and which was sent by his cousin Custis
Lee, belonged to Robert E. Lee, but he did not
know and had never inquired. AS to all other
occasions Gen. Lee was positive that no saddle
upon which he rode was ever the property of
Robert E. Lee. Since the publicatio OF the in
terview referred to Gen. FitZ Lee has received a
letter from Gen. Custis Lee, at Lexington, In
which the latter says: II want to tell you also
that the saddle about which SO much fuss
Washington, by Lutz, and was never used
before you rode on it by any one except my
brother Bob, who rode on 1t to try it. Mv fufher
aeUer suiC il" During the campaign Fftz Lee
rode fifty-odd saddles, and 1t would be difiicult
TO find a reason why, Ii one OF them had han.
pened In belong to his uncle, he should have
have declined TO use it, But this letter OF Custls
Lee settles positively that at no time during the
entire campaign did he ever ride on q sasddle
uncle. so It will be seen that there was abst,-
iutely no foundation for the columns uDOn
columns of criticism and abuse with which this
falsehtNsd was retaiied by the radical press OF
the north, nor for the fiery and bitter speeches
which Gen. Logan aud Others made upon The
same slil.lect Gen. Logan, while the bitterest
iof partisans, has always had a Reputation fOr
manly and straight dealing, and he owes IL b
himself to mako proper amends.

ance with notice given yesterday, called up his
bill to regulate the succession of the presidency
in the event of the death, inability or removal
of both President and Vice President He ex-
planned its provisions, saving that in case Of a
vacancy in the offices of President and Vice
President the bill devolved the presiden tial
duties upon the members of the cabinet In the
order of their official seniority-that Is to say,
in the order in which the various departments
were created-except that the head OF the De-
partment OF Justice, which WAS the last depart
ment created by law, is continued in his place,
ranking the heads of some OF the departments
created since the establishment Of the cabinet.
The bill also, Mr.. HOar said, provided that the
officer who should succeed to the duties should
continue to act during the term TOR which the
President should have been elected, and abrO-
gated the provisions of the law providing for an
election in the interval

witness as to the handwriting OF Marie A. Starr
the former wife of the late John w. Starr de-
ceased, the we'll known real estate broker
Heretofore examiners, under the practice OH
tanning in this District, noted upon the record
objections as to competency Of like questions to
be determined OH the final hearing OF the cause
but owing to the Importance to counsel and eX-
aminers to have ruling upon the matter, as
such questions do not untrequently arise in the
course Of taking dispositions before examiners
OF this court, the matter was certified, at the
reaest of counsel. and the question was, to-day,
allowed TO be answered by the Witness thus
giving the examiners the right to certify such
questions whenever objection is made by coun-
sci before them. Louis I. Starr is the alleged
infant son of the late John w. Starr, deceased,
and Marie A. Starr, the divorced wife OF said
Starr, is claimed to be the sole heir at law
OF said Starr. The question OF handwriting to
which objection was interposed, had relation
to certain letters alleged TO be in the hand
writing of Marie \. Starr, who, it is claimed
wrote them to a certain doctor lin Chicago
where the letters were introduced in testimo-
ny taken there to be used in this cause J asking
him to say that the boy in question was the
son OF said John W. starr, deceased. r. S. Davis
represents Mary J. Treactle, the sister of said
Jno. W. Starr, and Messrs Francis Miller anI
