French, late chief clerk of the Second Assistant Post master General's division, 1s out in a card in his defence. He declares that the present Post- master General admitted to him (French) on the 26th inst. that all the increase of mail ser- vice made by Brady was ‘mae in strict accor- dance with the forms of law.” He insists that the increase was purely a matter of judgment, the second assistant being the sole judge under direction of the PostmasterGeneral Mr.French thinks it a pew rule of civil service, and a queer one, which would have required him, the subd- ordinate, to arraign Brady, his superior, before their common superior. ‘because of Brady's Official acis. Such an attempt, he says, wou'd Dave been followed by bis prompt dismissal. He states that all the orders expediting routes ever signed by him (French) while acting as Second Assistant Postmaster General were signed by the previous direction and authority of Brady; that Brady never directed him to sign an illegal order. If he had done #0, Mr. French says he should have refused to perform the act. He recails the act of the last Congress in the invesugation of the star service, and Its approval by voting the money Mr. Brady asked for, and in conclusion assures his friends and the public of his entire innocence of even any bnowledge of the existence of fraud in the de- partment.

It has boen decided, too, to replace the expensive carpets woven in a single piece e3n0- cially for each room with carpets sold by the yard, which are less costly. It is thought use- less extravagance to put the most expensive Carpets im rooms so constantly used as are those at the White House, and by a clas3 of pecple (the sight-seers) who do not take cara to rush mud or dust from their feet before enter- ing ie mansion. ‘any called on Mrs. Garfleld last evening and greatly enjoyed the occasion.

A CURIOUS CHAPTKR IN THE HISTORY—HOW AN INDICTED WHISKY DISTILLER AND DRLINQU&NT CONTRACTOR WAS “RAISED” AND “EXPEDITED” BY BRADY. The following shows how a star route was expedited, as developed before the Senate com- mittee on appropriations in March, 1s80, The route from Prescott to Santa Fe was a new route. It was let (as set forth by Senator b: who was on the investigating committee,) to a man by the name of McDonowgh for #13313 a year, There were to be threa trip3 made each weck. The length of the route is stated at four hun¢red and sixty miles, Mr. McDonough sud. let the route to a man by the name of John a Walsh, a banker in the city of Washing ton. Mr. Walsh So managed that route as sub- Contractor, £0 faiied to deliver his mali after there had been $74.000 added for additional trips, that the Post Office department declared McDonough a falling contractor. They sali they Gould not deal with the sub-contractor, although the sub-contractor was the man who Caused the failure, was the man ho fatled to deliver the mail, the man whv had the sole charge of the business. Walsh was the sub- contracter; yet McDonough was declared to 09 a failing contractor. Walsh was not held re- sporsible. What happened? The department etruck down the pay from $74,000 to $13,313, and said to the sureties of M2- Donough, “if you want to take this route again at $13,313 you can have it.” The department. had said the necessity of the service required it to be increased until they paid $74,000; but the moment McDonough was declared a falling con- tractor, although the necessities of the service Tequired $74,000 to be paid, they struck it down to $13,313, and sald to the sureties of McDon- ough “Youcan take it at that.” These men had Lo facilities; they had no horses, no sti or othtr material on nand; and they could not take it. What then did the department do? ‘They let it at once to Mr. Walsh for $15,590, be- ing just below the next lowest bidder to McDon- ouch. Recollect Walsh was the man who caused the failure of the service. What did they do then? As soon as he got it they declared that the route had to be expedited, and they addea $64,000 to the $74,000, and they pala bim $156 975 a year for the route that McDonougo undertook to run for $13,313, and that he, as a sub-contractor, broke down on tn order to get itata higher rate,and then he had it in- creased tO $136,975 a year, which he now gets, low wasthat done? Mr. Brady 1s the witnes3, It was done, he says. on the statemeat ot Mr. Walsh himself that he had to employ so many more horees, SO many more coaches, so many more men, because of the expedition and trips, Brady says he had no other evideacs ot it except Mr. Walsh's own statement, and he allowed him $136,975 a year for expedition aad increase of trips on bis own ex parte statement without any investigation. And who was Walsh? The question Is put to Mr. Brady: Question, Did you have anythtng on which to predict your action In allowing that $75,700 additional pay, except Mr. Walsh’s own state- ment? Avswer. His sworn statement. @ Was that the only icformation that you had on which to predica‘e that action? A. That and the fact that we had sought to have the service performed ata less rate pefore and failed in it. It 1s a etficult rou'e. Q. Then his sworn statement was what you relied upon? A. That;was what I principally relied upon, but I also relied upon the other fact that { could not get the service done at the former pee by the former contractor, and that Mr. valsh had peremptorily refused to do the ser- Vice for anything like that sum of money. Q. While you were in the government em- ployment in New Orleans, did you know Waish there? A. Idid. Q. Was he not indicted, on your own testi- moby, for fraud on the internal revenue. A. I had him indicted for fall to produce his bocks as a distiller. He had been in the business for some years, and when I first went there I subpcenaed him, as I did all tne other distillers in the city, to appear before me wit: thelr books; and those of them who failed to produce their books (which I haa a right to call or under the internal revenue law) 1 had inéicted for fraud. That is the only indtetment found against Mr. Walsh in connecitun wita that matter. Q. And that was on your own testimony? A. I think 80; on my testimony or on tat of Iny agents who were with me. Q. Aud yet on hisown sworn statement alon= you granted an increase of pay to the amount of $62,000 (In round numbers) in excess of ta: price allowed for the same service tu his prede cessor? A. On bis own statement, and for the reasoa (as I was saying) that I could not get the servic> performed for any less. The Deeds Hecordershyp. WHAT GEN. SHERIDAN SAYS, Gen. Geo. A.

Six months ago he was indicted for perjury, and yesterday Assistant District Attorney Ball moved for his discharge. He indorsed on the back of the Indictment the following recom- mendation: “The defendant heretn is a broken down earele ‘who has been used by others to sustain the Morey letter fraud. He confessed his guilt under [eters of immunity from Prosecution and thereafter lent the prosecution Whatever aid he could in the investigation which followed. He should be discharged on his own re izance.” wer 8 Cowing warned the prisoner that he was under obligations to the court for the lentency shown toward him and could have been sent to state prison.
