THE NEW DEAL—CAPT. HENRY TO BE MARSHAL AND FRED DOUGLASS RECORDER OF DESD3. ‘There 1s authority for stating that as soon as the “dead-lock” is broken the name of Captain Henry, of Ohio, will be sent to the Senate for the marshalship. There ts but little doubt but that Mr. Douglass will be nominated for Re- corder of Deeds in place of Gen. George A Sheridap, There are several statements made in this connection. One story Is that the Presi- Gent was informed as early as the 15th of March of Gen. S.’s connection with the “mall Dag fastener business,” and iC was also stated that he had become by some means quite Wealthy; upon which information the Presl- dent determined to remove him. Another re- port is to the effect that a few days since Gen. Sheridan was sent for and his resignation was asked by the President, who stated that Mr. Douglass [was averse to leaving the District, and having performed valuable service for the party, he (the President) was desirous of giving im & position here. It was suggested to Gen. Sheridan that he would be given another place, and under these circumstances he tendered his resignation. The Jeannette Search Expedition. THE “MARY AND HELEN” TO B& HEREAFT&R KNOWN 48 THE “ RODGBRS.”” The following general order was issued this morning: NaWY DEPARTMENT, April 29, 18S1.— The steamer recently purchased for the Jeannette search expedition, and formerly known as the “ Mary and Helen.” will hereafter be known as the ** Eee ees Under this name she will be Gesignated and will be registered in the Navy department. This name is given her in recog- nition of the valuable ald rendered the depart- ment by Rear Admiral John Rodgers as prest- dent of the Jeannette relier board, to whoz were referred the direction of the search, the means best adapted to the search, and the de- tails of the expedition. It ts also deemed a proper tribute to his eminent reputation as an officer of the navy and a distinguished explorer in the Arctic seas, Witmwam H. Hunt, Secretary of the Navy. The Failing Stars. THE COURSE OF THE INVESTIGATION—HOW THE THIEVES OPERATED, ‘There are as yet_ no additional facts in rela- tion to the star route service affair ready to be given out by the Post Office department. For the past few days the men who are making the ed ee have been engaged, under diree- tions from the head of the department, in hunting out clerks and employés wno had connection with the alleged ring. a deemed the part of wisdom to discover and get rid of any persons in the department who might, because of past relations, feel inclined to give out information to the accused, before entering upon the important work of develop- ing evidence. The department foresaw the danger of having friends of the past regime in a position where they might be abie to destroy the effects of the investigation, A man who has for years been a contractor of star routes, but who says be had no connection with the Ting, mentioned one point to a Srak reporter that 1s significant. He said that every con- tractor of the expedited routes would have lest money at the original figures at which Unese contracts were taken; that the fact of their taking the contracts at figures leas than it would cost to carry them out shows that, the ring was organized in alvance and that tue Javored contractors had an understanding with the department beforehand fs to the ‘“expadit- ing” of the routes. He also mentioned a man who took a 400 mile contract in California; th's man was !n the way of the ring and the latter got rid of him by buying up all the forage plone s entire route, thus forcing him to stil out because he could not feed his sto. Apother point be mentioned was that in run- ping stage coaches the faster time that 1s maie the higher are the charges for carrying passea- ae and the greater this kind of business; tact in expediting a routeof this kind the propor- tion of benefit conferred upon the contractor should always be considered, but that it never was under the late management;thaton the con- trary the department acted as if it considered that the contractor was damaged in expedit- ing his route and allowed au increase of pay, out of proportion to the increase of service to ae the imaginary damages to the con- rractor, Mr. Dorsey’s Relation to the Star Houte Contracts. FORTUNATE BHOTHER, BROTHER-IN-LAW AND PER- SONAL FRIENDS, {Waeh. Special N. Y. Herald.) Ex-Senator Dorsey in his letter to the Herald aye: “1 observe in your Washington corres- Pondence of this morning a statement that I had denounced Gen. Bracy as a scoundrel, Your correspondent has been misinformed upon this subject.” Mr. Dorsey 1s mistaken. Your correspondent has not been misinformed. Mr. Dorsey did say to the gentleman who fs your correspondent’s informant that the late Second Assistant Post- master General Brady is a scoundrel. The name of the gentieman to whom Mr. Dorsey Said this has been sent to you for your own information and for that of Mr. Dorsey if he should be curious enough to ask itof you. Mr. Dorsey adds that he has been grossly maligned by the press, and that so faras the mall ser- vice is concerned he ig an honest man, or words to that effect. He might have added that he has also been a fortunate man, as was shown incidentatly in the few detatis about the star route No. 40,104, owned by Dorsey, in which his agent (Rerdell) testified on oath that, the origi- Dal contract being for$9,000 a year, Dorsey re- celved at one time at the rate of $52,000 a year, and ee the sub-contractor, Jennings, who put in all the money and performed the contract, at the rate of only $28,000 a year,.making a clear gain, by the help of Brady, of $24,000 a year to Dorsey for doing nothing except hold- ing the contract. DORSEY’S FORTUNATE CONSTITUENCY. Dorzey was Senator from Arkansas from 1873 to March 4,is79. During that pgeel Of six years, as he once swore before 4 Congressional committee, he was ‘‘as active probably as any Man in Co! in attending to the ey pomey business Tay constituency.” That sounds well. But Dorsey omitted to explain to the committee that the pricipal men among his go- called constituency were the following:— First—J. W. Dorsey, his brother, a star route contractor, Second—J. M. Peck, Dorsey’s brother-in-law, & star route contractor. Third—J. M. Miner, Dorsey’s intimate friend, and who commonly stayed at Dorsey's house when he was in Wi ington, as Dorsey once testified, and also a star route contractor. ¥ourth—John B.
