On Saturday last Tue Star printed the state- ment of Postmaster Alger, of this city, to the effect that the date and cancellation stamp on the alleged Morey Chinese letter was not tn tact the date and cancellation stamp ti use when the letter purports to have been mailed trom the Washington City Post office. To offset this discrepancy it has been published that the date and cancellation stamps on the envelope were ‘the same as were In use at the Capitol, and that the letter was mailed and stamped at the Cap- itol and not at the city Post Office, This is met by Postmaster Ainger with the statement that the date stamp used at the Capitol has upon its face the word “Con; .” and it could not have been mailed from the Capitol without the word “Congress” appearing. ‘To-day, however, Col. Atnger, upon a search- ing cxamipalon of the fac simiie, has diseov- ered even greater discrepancies, and of such a nature as to appear to show conclusively that the letter is a deliberate forgery. The date stamp on the elleged hay isdanuary 23d. Oa the 15th of January Mr, Alpger took charge of the Washington Post Oinee as postmaster.
