According to all indl- sations, it Is & method of dutense which is to bo catled Into more vigorous action in the stur-route fraud than In any which have preceded t, The rewl di- culty which Gen, Brady aud his whole ring have had with the ‘correspondents of the press in Washington since the exposures of stur-route mattecs, ns put befors the public during the second session of the last Con- grosy, hns been that thelr sllenco could not be purchased with star-route money.

HAYES, Considerable Interest Is manifested to . know what Mr. 1layes, from Fremont, O., will have to say relative to the star-route .business, inasmuch as the jobbers were in lilgh favor with the Post-Ofico Department * all during his term, and one contractor, as early és 1876, had sworn that he had been i« compelled to pay $40,000 to somebody for hush money. Morcover, most of the evidence . which has now been published was taken under the eye of the Iinyes Ad- ministration ltero, and , the fact was plainly brought to the attentlon of the then President. that tho Tost-Office Department had plainly violated Seo. 367 of the Revised Statutes, which directs that no department of the Government, in any flseal year, shall expend any sunt In excess of the amount approprigted for that year, or in- volve the Governmont In-any contract for the future payment of money'in oxcess of such appropriations. Mr. llayes 1s slmply reported to have sald relative to the star- route mgtter that ho dld not think Mr. Brady was_ such a bud man, and the star-routo surviee kept on.
