The Presidents Action Criticised.
| HELENA (Mont.(, July Sth.-The Presi-
dents veto of the railroad right of way bill
through the northern Indian reservations is
severely criticised here.
! The IadepeRdeRt Dem says: The whole
policy of the Administration in the West,
as applied through niisdirected advice and
lack of actual knowledge on the part of the
heads OF the departments, is subieeting the
| Democracy of the citizens of this country 10
a strain which it cannot stand unless the
conditions change.
The Herald tRep.) says: No one dreamed
that the President would veto the bill grant
ing right of way for railroads through the
Indian reservations of northern Montana
The veto is bad enough, if nothing had
been said but with the reasons assigned by
the President, it becomes simply absurd.
1t looks to common mortals as if the Pres
dent had become veto-mad.

The Grievances of the Postal Clerks.
INDIANAPOLIS, July Sth.-C. C. Mead,
| Chief Clerk, and Il. +. Robb, Secretary of
| the Brotherhood of Postal Clerks, have pre-
pared response to the statements of Post
master General Villas. In substance, they
say that the postal clerks expected very
generally, on the incoming of the present
administration, to be removed; that in
such anticipation some resigned and others
| got their houses in order to go; that Post
master General Villas by his circular of
March 81 1885, gave them to under
stand expressly that there should
be no removals without cause, and
none for merely political reasons; that eff
cient and valuable men would not be dis
turbed so long as they rendered faithful
service; that they accepted this assurance
in good faith, and so continued in the serv-
ice. rendering faithful and jealous service;
that soon, however, their faith was shaken
by repeated and frequent removals of good
men without cause; that by reason of such
| removals increased work was imposed upon
them; that they were required, in addition
to their regular and onerous duties, to teach
| new men; that new men were often pro-
| NOTED over them that in some instances
these new men were given leave
| of absence, and devoted their time
to political work without complaint or
rebuke, while the old clerks were being re-
moved for alleged political work done years
before; that they felt that they were being
imposed upon by having additional duties
and work put upon them, and by the ia
voritism shown in many ways to ap-
pointees that they had pride in the ef-
ficiency of the service, and found that these
things tend to destroy that efficiency that
they objected to removals being made upon
secret charges unknown to them, TO which
they had no opportunity of replying or
being heard thereon; that their or
ganization was founded upon things
looking to the good and efficiency
of the public service, and TO prevent, if
possible, its destruction by constant and
frequent removals without cause; that
under the profession and promises of the
Postmaster General, the public would
infer that removals were made upon good
and sufficient cause, thus leaving stigmas
upon the persons removed, and unlustly
so; that the essence of their protest was
that of the injustice to those removed.
They only asked that the cause of
removal should be made known.
recognized their duties to the public, and
faithfully and zealously performed them,
for proof of which they point with pride
TO the service itself, they felt, as men and
citizens, that they were entitled at least to
fair and Just consideration by the Post

not in any spirit of insubordination or OBJ
struction, but, on the contrary. was in the
highest interest of the postal service on be-
half of the public, and in their own inter

of the high efficiency of the postal service;
that they intended to wait upon the Post
master-General and submit these things to
his consideration, when he hurriedly re-
moved large number of clerks without
hearing This they believe he did to avoid
being confronted with his record on re-
movals.
The Late Ex-District Attorney Corkhiil.
New YORK. July Sth.-A special to the
Herald from Long Branch says The late
ex-District Attorney Corkhill, of Washing
ton, at the time of his death was preparing
a narrative for publication on the shooting
of President Garfield by Cult au, which
contained new and startling evidence, to
the effect that the murder was the result of
deep-lad, diabolical plot, in which many
persons are concerned. Corkhill received
letters from Guiteaus wife which impli-
Gated two prominent politicians in the plot.
She claims to be able to show by legal evil
dence that appointments and long talks
regarding the removal of Garfield were held
over luncheons and in certain basement
restaurant in Washington. Corkhlil was
believer in the existence of a calmly devel
oped conspiracy, whose plot covered even
the flight of the assassin to Europe. He
said he knew the vessels name in which
stateroom was taken for Cuiteau, and the
identity of the persons who were to assist
him in his fight. The dates the names of
the men and the steamer were at his fingers
ends. II was the most horrible, crushing
array of allegations, correct or incorrect,
ever heard.
