THE POST OFFICE QUESTION.
CHARGES PREFERRED BY CAPT.
CHILDs's OPPONENTS.


SeUe Iateresting Corrc-pondence---thr
Hearing Takes place To-day.
It was stated in The Phoenix Of last
week that il either side in the post office
controversy had any charges 10 prefer, the
other side must be notified Of them by last
Friday noon. and that no such charges had
been made. On account, however, Of the
time named for the hearing in Washington
having been changed from Monday 70 Fri
day Of this week. the opponents Of Mr.
Childs were notified by Col Estey that
charges. if any, might be handed in by
Monday morning, aud at 10 o'clock on that
morning the following list was handed him
in Waterman, Martin a Hits office
The Charges Against the ChiIds Wen.
To Col. i. j. Esieg It ais Pursuant TO
YOUR request aud that Of our delegation in
Congress. we hand you a brief statement
OF claims that will be presented 10 the del
egation against the appointment Of f. w
Childs for postmaster
/. That sufficient notice for the caucus
was not given, it being less than five days
,. The kind Of ballots used were not in
accordance with the directions Of the dele
cation. They were unlike and readily dis
tinguishable in the voters hand
3. That Mr. Childs is an active aud par.
tisan Democrat. and that his canvas for the
caucus was aided and abetted by Demo.
Gratis and those in active sympathy with
the Democratic party
4. Quite a number voted for Mr. Childs
at the caucus, who, under the regulations,
were disqualified so 10 do.
D. The names Of many Republican pa
irons Of the office we're procured upon Mr.
Childs's petition through deception and
misrepresentation and that said petition,
50 made up in part, at least, was made use
OF by Mr.. Childs's supporters in his canvas
for the caucus and at the caucus
q. The caucus was procured and car
ried by misrepresentation and fraud.
On opening these charges in Haskins q
Stoddard's Office Col Estey found that
they were neither signed nor dated and
he returned to Waterman, Martin Il Hits
Office and asked to have them signed with
the names Of the parties making them
Mr.. Martin answered that he would sign
them with the firms name as attorneys.
Col. Estey asked, Attorneys for whom ~
As attorneys for the compliments. was
the answer. Col. Estey said that he would
prefer 70 have the names Of the complain
ants themselves, 10 which Mr. Martin an.
swered that the charges had only Just been
drawn up and had not been circulated for
signatures Col Estey's request was re
garded a. a reasonable one, because every
document or paper signed by attorneys is
supposed to show, either by its title or by
the matter contained in its body, for whom
the attorneys are acting, aud this letter
was therefore drawn up and forwarded n

Yesterday n contract was signed between

Company. for the street cars TO pass over the

The Marshall street line, already run cars
NEARLY 10 Mayo's bridge, and the company
have laid at least one mile OF track on the
Manchester side. They are now at work on
the "loopr which will encircle that portion
of Manchester lying between Decatur and
and McDopOugh streets and COwardin ave-
nne and Twelfth streets. The contract pro-
yides that the cars shall be running over the
bridge within sixty days. IL Is understood
that at first the company will use
horse cars, but that later on they
will adopt electricity as motor-power.
Under the ordinances recently granted by
the CITY Council of Manchester giving GER
tain franchises TO the company, the cOmpa-
nv can only charge one fare IN the two CT
ties; or. in other words, passengers getting
on in Manchester can get transfers on the
Main-street line or the Union Passenger
line in Richmond, and passengers getting
on the two Richmond lines can get trans
fers for Manchester.

Two Electric Cars Astonish Richnonders
on Main Street.

Two electric cars on the main line OF the
Main Street Railway gladdened the sight OF
pedestrians on that thorOughfare yesterday,
and they were not slow in taking advantage
of the better mode Of lOcOmotiOn. The ears
were evidently new as regards machinery,
as they ran so easy and nOiseless. and the(r
gentle motion brought back 10 mind the
palmy DAYS of Richmond when she had a
ear service on the electric line" of thirty
cars a day. There has been for some time
past an electric car doing service on lne
Fulton branch, while another one on the
Main-street line has been conveying pas
sengers 10 the refreshing breezes OF the
New Reservoir.
Mr.. Il. II. Seldom stated yesterday that he
was running the two cars to get the motor
men familiar with the track; that there
were number of up and down grades ON
Main street, and il required some expert
ence 10 run the car safely. 81 expect" ne
continued. ''to put on more cars tomorrow.
The electric men promise me that they VIII
give me more cars and iftheir promises hold
good. think will be able TO do away with
the horse cars altogether by Sunday. L DO
not saw this as an actual fact, because /
do not know whether the cars will be ready
for the track at that time, but from present
indications | am quite sure electric cars
will be used entirely next week"
Mr.. seldom is doing all possible to have
electric cars on Main street, the only draw
hack being that the cars have to be equip
ned with motors before running, and the
Sprague people have so many orders that II
is difficult to supply 80 many 10 Rich
