MR, MORRILL DENIES THE CORRUPT Kander CHARGE, Mr, Morrill then took the floor, in denial ot what he termed the baseless charge of a cor- rupt Da , Which had been so flippantly made, and which implied that the republican would be sorry to know that afly democratic Senator should have such a poor opinion of him, that a denial of that charge should be needed. So far as the vote of the Senator from_ Virginia (Mahone) was concerned. he (Morril)) had understood in advance that it would be cast with the repud- cans without apy conditions whatever. He referred to what he called the combined attack of the democratic Senators upon a single Senator who had recently taken his seat in this chamber, declaring that it was not chivalrous on the part of 37 honorable Senators to strike altogether at one fellow-Senator. Senators were not to be bulldozed. No one Senator huc | aright to call another to account for the votes that he might choose to give here on any ques- tion. He gave instances of statesmen baving changed their political convictions, ana asserted that the charges made against the Senator from Virginia oy those who were wil ng to wound but afrald to strike were as un- founded and calumnious as those which had been made egainst Henry Clay. The stones Which were being hurled at the Senator from Virginia would fail harmless and form a monu- mental pile upon which he would stand with gospel of a free ballot and a fair count. MR. RECK’S RETORT. Mr. Beck sala that he liked thé statement which the Senator had made, that every Sena- tor should be allowed to vote as he pleased without being called to account for it, and that the Senate could not be bulldozed. He liked that doctrine, but in view of it, it ill became gentlemen on the other side to stand up and charge the democratic Senators with treason and rebellion because they cast their votes under the rules of the Senate for what they thought was for the good of the country. Mr. Sherman inquired whether any party was justified In resorting to dilatory proceedings to ee the majority from passing an ordinary Mr. Beck.—If any party belleves (and! am not now going to express my epinion) that a great wrong ‘isto be perpetrated, then if ta Tight toresort to dilatory motions. Wonat the motives for dilatory motions now aro, is for us and our constituents to determine. | Mr. Sherman.—Then you admit that ordina- By ie 4s not right to resort to dilatory mo- ttons: Mr. Beck.—Whether tt 1s right or wrong Is for acting within the rules, It 1s neither right nor | courteous for Senators ‘to say that we are seek- ing to revolutionize the Senate, ana are guilty of treason. Mr, Sherman inquired whether it was not Within the power of 15 Senators to prevent the | passage of apy Dill: 2 } Mr. Beck replied that it was. The democrats had avowed—for good or bad reasons—that they-intended to prevent a disorganization of the Senate at thistime. If they were wrong, they were responsible for that wrong. It was use they knew that, that he was amazed that gentlemen on the other side did not go into executive session. He had seen in his time spoiled children refuse good bread and butter because they could not get sugar. and declare they never would eat the bread and butter. Why, when the republicans could get all the bread and butter, should they behave Uke spoiled children, and refuse to take It without sugar. The Repubjican Senate Cauces, | THE CALL ABOUT TO BE ISSUED. A paper addressed to the chairman of the re~ | publican caucus, requesting him to cali a meet- ing for to-morrow morning, has to-day been signed by ten or twelve republican Senators, and as this is more than a sufficient number the desired cali will doubtless be issued. Ic 1s understood that the purpose of the movers in the matter ts to bring about the holding of one or more executive sessions at an early date, in order to dispose of some portion of the accu- mulated business, but with the understanding that the contest over tho proposed eleczion #1 ofiicers shall then be renewed. THE FEELING AMONG REPUBLICAN SENATORS in favor of the confirmation of some of the most important nominations pending, has b2en growing of late. It was suggested that the caucus be held to-morrow, but upon inquiry by a Star reporter, on the republican side of the Senate, about the matter, it was learned that the caucus will not be held, perhaps, be fore next Tuesday or Wednesday. A reporter of THE STaR was further informed to-day by g0od authority that the President had request- ed his friends among the republican Senators to provide a way for confirming pending nomi- nations, at least those which are most needed. A call has been issued for a meeting of the {u- aiclary committee for to morrow morning to consider the nominations that have been re- ferred to that committee, among which are those of Stanley Matthews and vudge Parise, National Academy of Science. THE ANNUAL BLECTION. After our report of the proceedings of the National Academy of Selence closed yesterday, Prot.

At nine o’clock last night the members of the academy, accompanied by their ladies, called at the White House and paid their respects to Pre- sident Garfield. The President, with his wife, who had just returned from New York, receive the distinguished party in the Blue room. The reception was informal. At ten o’clock the party retired and repaired to Wormley’s, where they were handsomely entertained by the ven- erable president of the academy, Prof. Wm. B. Rogers. Refreshments were served, and at mid- night the (ee exclusively academicians and their lady friends, took their departure. ———— Contemplated Improvement by the Washington Market Company.

THE LATEST ABOUT THE STAR ROUTE FRAUDS—IM- PORTANT DEVEIOPMENTS—THE WHOLE MATTER TO GO TO THE ATTORNEY GENERAL. The irregular and fraudulent transactions which have been uncovered in the contract office of the Post Office department, by the in- vestigation of Postmaster General James, are the principal topics of discussion throughout the city to-day, especially in the executive de- partments, where eager inquiries are made of those who are supposed to be acquainted with the facts as to the number of persons, and who they are, that will be affected In their official capacities. 4 MEMBER OF BX-PRESIDENT HAYES’ CABINET tn conversation onthe subject this morning expressed great surprise when he was told that the corruption extended over the entire period of the previous administration. When the gentleman expressed his faith in the hon- esty and integrity of the immediate predeces- Sors of Postmaster General James he said that if the current statements were true they Clearly indicated that those offictals had been sadly Ignorant of the duties and operations of the various bureaus under their charge. The case against General Brady and his friends has presented in its incomplete shape to President Garfleld, and instructions were at once given to complete the evidence and lay the whole subject, inclu: the accumulated mass of documents, affidavits and various de- scriptions of incriminating memoranda, BEFORE ATTORNEY GENERAL MAC VEAGH for such action as may hereafter be determined upon. Meantime yery little information of an official character can be obtained, but it is intimated that instalments will be furnished for publication as rapidly as seems judicious to those having the investigation in hand The | Statement that Judge Tyner was implicated in the frauds fs said to have no foundation, and if he fs replaced at all, which does not at present seem likely, it will not be on account of any connection with the Brady coterie. : BRADY'S GRIP. It is reported, and it is probably true. that While Judge Tyner was cognizant of the star route operations, and long ago manifested a disposition to be Gos them, both he and Gen. Key were overrulud by Gen, Brady, whose power in the Post Office seems, in view of re- cent developments, to have been almost abso- lutely sr-reme. Gen, Brady was appointed Second «.ssistant Postmaster General July 24, 1576, to succeed Judge Tyner, who, twelve days before, had been promoted to be Postmaster General, When the Hayes administration came into power In the following March, Gen, Brady was retained, holding office until his Tesignation was tendered on Wednesday last. OTHER HEARTS THAT ACHE. There 1s a good deal of uneasiness in and about the contract office of the Post O3ice de- partment. As yet no removals have been made, but it Is stated several clerks will be dismissed within a few days. It is ceria therumors, too, that Auditor McGrew, of the Treasury, who has charge of the auditing of the Post Office accounts, as well as his deputy, are to be superseded. ‘The examination {nto the methods of dealing With the star route contracts is still in pro- | gress. The Postmaster General at present de- clines to make public what has been developed, but it is understood that he is formulating it in the shape of evidence, which in due time ‘will be turned over to the Attorney General, THE GREAT STAR ROUTE COMBINATION. It is known that the developments when Made public will declare the existence of a powerful combination, the members of which, it is alleged, were beneficiaries in the appro- priations for star service, and in {it are in- cluded Congressmen, ex-Congressmen, news- Paper proprietors, newspaper correspondents and prominent lobbyists. Gen. Brady, who 13 | under a cloud in connection with the discio- { sures, is nowin New York. His friends, how- ever, allege that the stories now afloat are merely a rehash of what was developed before the sub-committee of appropriations two winters ago. On behalf of the Post Office de- partment this is met with the statement that new facts have been developed showing con clusively the existence of the star route ring. ‘SOCIETY NOTES, A small but very distinguished company as- Sembled in the Blue Parlor at the White House last evening, when the President and Mrs, Garfield received the gentlemen of the Nationa, Academy of Sciences and thelr wives aud daughters. Very few others were present. Col. Rockwell made the introductions, Secretaries Blaine, Windom and Hunt and their wives, Miss Dodge, Postmaster General James, Mrs. Rockwell and the President’s two eldest’ sons and Miss Garfield and Mr. Walker Blaine were present assisting in entertaining the visitors. All the parlors, the state dining room and con- servatories were brightly lighted for the occasion, and about ten o’clock the Prest- dent set the example for a promenade through the rooms and green houses with Admiral John Kodgers’ wife, and all the others present followed in couples. Among those who attended were Professor and iss Baird; Mr. Hilgard; Professor Rogers, of Boston, the president of the academy, and his wife; Professsor and Mrs. Newcomb; Professor Gil; Dr. and Mrs. Woodward: Professor and ‘Mrs. Asaph Hall; Yrofessor and Mrs. Alex.

While some of the ladies wore bonnets and walking sults, the majority of both ladies and gentlemen were in full even- Ing dress, as they were asked to a reception given by Professor and Mrs. Rogers, of Boston, at Wormley’s, after the conclusion of that at the White House. Mrs. Garfieid wore an ele- gant blue satin; Mrs, Blaine a rich dark satin combined with old gold; Mrs. Windom, ruby yeivet. Mrs. Hunt was also very handsomely aud Recomm ay, dressed, and Mrs. Newcomb, Mrs, Rockwell, Miss Dodge and Mrs, Rogers, of Boston, all wore elegant white evening dresses.

What Mr. Brady‘s Friends Say. (Wash. Special Cin. Commercial.) It has been known for some time that Brady would have togo, There has been a great deal of clamor against him on account of the star route scandal, although his friends have never believed that he profitted by the great and seemingly unnecessary expenditure of money on account of these contracts. Brady is rich, and cares nothing for the office, but did no!

CUMBERLAND, MD., April 22, 1 p. m.—The Mary- land Board of Public Works, composed of Gov- ernor Wm. T. Hamilton, Comptroller Thos. J. Keating, Treasurer Barnes Compton, accom- panied by Jno. K. Cowen and W. F. Frick, at- torneys, and W. N. Bowling, engineer of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, and Hafry Keat- ing and N. E. Ford, of the Baltimore Sun, ar- rived at the Queen City hotel at 2:40 this a. m. Other prominent visitors are also here, includ- ing the District of Columbia Commissioners Josiah Dent, Thos. P. Morgan and Wm. J. Tw - bing; Hugh Allen Goldsborough and A. Koss Ray, of Washington; President A. P. Gorman, of the Chesapeake and Ohfo canal; Paymas- ter Stephen Gamberill and Superintendent Louis G. Stanhope, of the Chesapeake and Ohio canal; President Henry Loveridge and Vice President Gardiner P, Lloyd, of New York, of the George's Creck and Cumberland Railroad and the Pennsylvania Ratiroad, in Maryland; Chief Engineer James N. Randolph, general Supervisor of trains; Francis Mantz; Col. S, R. Johnston, master of roads; A. Hunter Johuston, assistant of Baltimore and Ohio; Superintend- ent Charles F. Mayer and General Superintend- ent P. L. Burwell, Cumberland and Pennsylva- nia Railroad, and a host of other prominent and molnor railroad officials. The party this morn- ing visited ‘the proposed rafiroad crossing, where an immense crowd were congre- gated. They will return home this evening. The Washibgton commissioners think the connection with the new road and canal will be worth one hundred thou- Sand doilars a year to the District of Columbia alone and will revolutionize the whole coal trade. The board of public works are now holding a secret session. Without reciting the various points in con- troversy, which have been taken througi all the courts, it appears that in 1873, when an adjustment was made between thé state of Maryland and the Baltimore and Uhio Rallroad Company, a clause was inserted in that act, which was afterward placed in the form of an agreement between the state of Maryland, the Baltimore and Ohio Rallroad Company and the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Com- to the effect that if in the case construction of any new road leading to the Baltimore and Ohio, elther at or west of Cumberland, any controversy should arise as to the particular point of junc- tion of the two roads, then, upon application to the board of public works of Maryland, they should determine such point of connection, The points involved, therefore, are: First, the absolute right, under the contract of 1551 and under the Contract made in pursuance of the adjustment act of 1575, of any new road to connect with the Baltimore and Ohio and have its engines and cars conveyed at a fixed sum per ton to the canal basin; second, that it is impossible with aby reasonable cost for this new road to reach the canal company’s Wharf without crossing the Baltimore and OAto Taliroad and using its track; third, that theonly point, therefore, in the controversy is as to the Particular point at which this crossing shall be made. The new road, in selecting its point of crossing, have condemned the right of way ata point immediately east of Will's creek, where there is a very heavy curve on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, and its officials claim that 1t would not only involve the reconstruction of a Portion of their track, but would make {t ex- ceedingly dangerous both to property and to fe to have another road cross at grade at that particular point.

The President did not tttmate, even, that his resignation was desti and 80 Mr. Brady continued to discharge hisofnint duties , conscious that 80 long as the dead-lock contin uea his successor, if nominated, would Rave to wait for confirmation before relieving him of ‘Said to De one of the shrewéest and most vigtlant officers in the service of the Post Omice ment, been Lag Bt ue workings of the star route system, other ss in the west, with nO suspicion even of the nature of the duties assigaed them, were employed in sending to Washington confden- tial reports of what was being done ‘oer. tain routes, what service was yi the amount of business carried over the route selected for special examination.

The cng removal of Assistant Attorney General Freeman, the law officer of the Post Oflice department would also excuse the attendance of the Attorney General. ‘This conference of three Cabinet with the President two hours after a regular Cabl- net meeting was Known to be important, and the demand made yesterday for the ton of Thomas J. Brady, the Second Postmaster General, and the resignation of As sistant Attorney General Freeman was but the first result of that conference. Naturally all sorts of stories lated to-day as to the Intention of the Preaident, but beyond the statement that the reckiess waste of government funds upon star route contracts made Mr. Bracy wholly unworthy of the trast Teposed in him, and the announcement that bis nation was asked, and not voluntary, | 1s about as much as the President thinks it roper to announce at present. But in a few ys the demands for the resignations of other prominent ofiicials at the Post Office - Ment will explain sufficiently that the testt- mony before the President warrants immediate reform in a department where millions of dol- lars have been recklessly squandered if not with guilty Knowledge on the part of the re sponsible officials. It 18 not premature, however, to say that the Scandal that It is now known will be brought to light will be of a national character. IU will involve ex-meiabers of Congress in abetting a wilful waste of government fi and a system of favoritism for sections among contractors that will exceed all that has hitherto been denounced as extravagant in- ventions. Quarrels among contractors and sub- agents will now be fully explained, and witnes- Ses who have knowledge of the methods which it bas cost the government §500 to trans- mit asingle letter less than one hundred and firty miles, will form an interesting chapter tn ‘the story. 5 (Washington Special N. ¥. Tribune.) A ring of powertul contractors held posses. sion of the most profitable star routes—thoee covering long distances in the western territo- ries, and kept out all rivals by thesystem of straw bids so often exposed, and virtually fixed their own compensation by the friendly aid of the contract office. ‘The ring had its agents in Washington.

One principal reason for the sum- mary action in regard to General Brady was the discovery that many sources of Information which the special agents desired to make #c- cessible were closed through the fear of Gen- eral Brady's power while he remalned tn office. (Wash. Special N. ¥. Times.) The forced retirement of Gen.
