THE WITHDRAWAL of the renomination of Gen. Lew Wallace as chatge d'affaires at Uruguay and Paraguay will soon be followed by bis appointment as Minister to Turkey. DEATH OF JaMES L, CRAMER.—Many of our readers will regret to hear of the death of this estimable gentleman, who held office in one of the departments here pa to 1861, and who served as a paymaster {m the army during the war. He died on the ist of May, instant, at his home in Saratoga, N.Y., in the sixty-frst year ot Ch He was & man of more than ordi- nary abilt and greatly respected and beloved wherever known. Youne Lapy VisiTors.—A party of over fifty young ladies from the Western High School of Baltimore came to this city to-day on a sight seeing excursion. They paid thefr respects to the ident, who Tecelved them tn the East Room, and afterwards visited the State and other departments. AMONG THOSE who saw the President to-day were Senators Cameron,-of Pennsylvanta, Dawes, Hill, of Colorado, and Harris and Rep- resentative Whitthorne. Senators Morrill, Rol- ins, Cameron of Wis., and Conger, and Gov. Foster were among those who saw the Presi- dent this afterfoon. MARINE OnpERs.—Second Lieut. F. L.

Stanley Matthews expects to leave Washington as soon ‘as he receives his comtatasion as Associate Jus- tice of the Supreme Court, watch will probably be early next week. He ‘will spend the sum- mer traveling with his family. Next autumn he proposes to take a house here. Hs recelved nO serenade last evening, and says he would net have received one from a political organiza- Uon, because, as Associate Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, he must ignore politics in ture. CHANDLER'S Cask.—Although the friends 0° Wm. E. Chandler for the past week have been exceedingly active, 1t is not at all probable he will be confirmed Solicitor General of the Unitea States So far it cannot be ascertained that a single democrat witl vote for him, and it 1s known four republicans, at least, will vote against him. Chandler has been urged by his friends to have the President withdraw his name. Thi3 he will not consent to. WHAT THE SIOUX IN MONTANA WANT.—A dis patch received at the War department trom Fort Keogh, Montana, gives a report of the speeches of the chiefs at a meeting of the leading men of the Sioux Indians near that fort. ‘The speeches were all of the same tenor— that they wanted to stay in that section, to have an agency at Bitter creek, that they want both sides of the creek, that they want to go to farming, that they want to go to work and get rich soon, that they want to raise their children like white children, etc. The speak- ers were Hump, Horse Road, Big Wood, Dog Bull, Spotted Eagle and Rain on the Face, some of whoin visited this city some time since, MINISTERS AND AMBASSADORS.—As Was men- Uoned In Tak Star of Thursday, the English papers attribute the delay in appointing a suc- cessor to Sir Edward Thornéon as British min- ister here to Sir Austin Layard’s unwillingness to accept a post below that of an ambassador, his present position. This has caused a discus- sion there as to making the English mission here an embassy. It is understood phat Eng- land 18 quite willing to do this, bu@the first move must come from our sidé, as we have never yet sent an ambassador anywhere, and it 13 the ej among nations for no government to send a diplomatic representative of a higher grade to any country than that country sends tolt, As econ as we decide to call our minister to England an ambassadpr, that nation will Send one of that rank to Gs. It will.however, require an act of Congress to make the change Of litle. It is usual in other countries to pay an ambassador more than a minister plenipoten- Uary, and of course there could be no increase Of salary for one of our ministers If promoted to be an ambassador, unless Con; made a Specific appropriation for the purpose. It 13 Delleved, however, that there would be plenty of patriots found ready to accept the place with ite more highly sounding name, whether it paid wetter Or not. It used to be considered that an ambassador should not be sent by a republic, but that has ceased to be the practice, and France sends ambassadors now just as she did when she was an empire. ARMy ORDERS.—Brig. Gen. C. C. Augur, com- Mmabding department of Texas, will proceed to West Point, New York, on public business. 2d Lieut. Chas. G.

CONKLING’S NOTE OF WARNING—ROBERTSON LIKELY TO BE CONFIRMED, HOWEVER. ‘There is the best reason to believe that the Senate will adjourn sine die by the end of next week, and that the nomination of Judge Rab- erteon will be disposed of meanwhile. The action of the caucus yesterday clearly presages this, It appears, after a very general inter- change 07 views, it was agreed that the Presi- dent ‘would not withdraw Robertson’s name, and that it would be useless to renew any offer to Induce him to doso. It is said that Senator Conkling made a speech -in the caucus indica- ting that he would not continue the fight any as nae aor ne position, ms ae forme ool es of the Gamaging ec! Judge Robertson's confirmation would have on the Pua party of New York. If in the face of his protest, backed by that of his colleague and the Vice President, the Senate saw fit to confirm the nomina- tion, well and Aer He had resisted its confirmation ali along in the hope that the President would come to his senses, and make an effort to heal rather than widen the breach. Itis now evident, however, that the President was of the opinion that the repub- lican party in New York would not be weak- ened by Robertson’s confirmation, and though he (the Senator) assumed to be the better judge, he would not further delay a vote, and should the Senate confirm Robertson he would allow time, which makes all thing even in the end, to develop whose judi it was the best, that of the President's or his own. So far as he was concerned, he would on Monday, if posst- ble, report Robertson’s name, elther favorably or unfavorably, as he might be directed by the commerce committee. He would then inter- Pose his objection and have its consideration put over one day. On Tuesday he would dispas- sionately give his reasons why Robertson should not be confirmed. Beyond that he would not attempt delay. He would of course vote against confirmation, and if the wisdom of the Senate was that the nomination should be endorsed 80 be It, but _he warned his colleagues that the result would be to destroy the efficiency of the ane eee party in New York. He had urged delay so that the republicans could act with their eyes wide open. If they chose to fall into the pit and the future should show they had digged it for themselves, he hoped they would be charitable enough to remember his emphatic protest and warniag. The New York Senator’s speech was delivered with considerable fervor, but without lon, “It was,” sald a Senator, “a key note of warn- ing sounded, and will undoubtedly produce an G Cas Sul, I think Robertson will be con- ed.” ANOTHER ACCOUNT. Senator Conkling was late in reaching the Capitol, and he entered the caucus asif in haste. His speech is described by some as flery and intemperate, espectaliy in the begin- ning. He charged that the-caucus had peen called without advising or consulting with him, and that it was an attempt to weaken him. He sald in effect that he had borne the brunt of the contest to save the republican party of New York; that he had depicted what ‘he effect of ’ Robertson's conirma- tion would be, and now if republican Senators were determined to rush ahead and destroy their party in the Emptre state, they might do it, but not with his consent; that re- cent events had shown that he was powerless to prevent the dire calamity of a disrapted 'y in New York; and he had done all within is power for the good of the party, and being overruled he would let the responsibility for re re fall upon those who had blindly invited It. The Virginia Post Offices. NO MORE REPUBLICANS TO BE REMOVED TO MAKE WAY FOR READJUSTERS. It is announced very positively that the re- moval of repubjican postmasters in Virginta aud the appointment of readjusters in their pieces has been summarily stopped. Of late, numbers of republicans from Virginia have visited the President to protest eee turning members of that party out of office to make room for readjusters. Its said that the Prestdent has stated to these visiting republicans his wish that the regular republican organization of that state shail be maintained Intact: that the party may, if It sees flt, make an alliance with the readjusters, bat if auy such policy is pursued It should be adopted by the republicans as a whole—as an organization. Further, that the President has expressed nis purpose to give the control of patronage in V ginia to the republicans of tha¥state, ‘THE TREASURY NOW holds $355,954,500 In U. S. bonds to secure national bank circulation, and $26,240,500 to secure public deposits. The na- tonal bank circulation outstanding amounts to $353,909,356.

But not with Mahone.” DISTRICT COMMISSIONERSHIP,—The rumor 1s In the air this afternoon that Sayles J. Bowen 1s to be appointed a District Commissioner, THs NEW SUPREME CoURT JvaTicg,—It has been developed that under a misapprehension about his pair, Senator Saunders, of Nebraska, who would have voted for the confirmation of Stanley Matthews, as a Justice of the United States Supreme Court, refrained from votiag, and thus Matthews lost a vote. On Monday ext the notice of confirmation will be certi- fied to the President, and on Tuesday Judge Matthews will receive his commission. Mean- while he will remain in this city, leaving for home next Tuesday night or Wednesday morn ing. At hisown request the proposed serenade to Justice Matthews last night night did not come off. After arranging his buaines3 affatra in Cincinnati, Justice Matthews will buy a home in this city and reside here permanently with bis family. Tae TRUTH OF THE MaTreR.—In regard to the rumors concerning Mrs. Gartield’s illness, to the effect that it 1s due to sewer gas in che White House, it 1s proper to say that there are no stationary washstands in the bedrooms there. The bath-rooms and closets were introduced for the first time about 187%, and there is no reason why their plumbing should not be of the dest. TI 1 entirely separated from the bedrooms, and have outside 0) ings The most probable cause of Mrs. Garfleld’s {liness 1s the reaction of an overtaxed nervous system.

A LITTLE CHANGE FOR THE BI SHE 18 STILL IN A PRECARIOTS CONDITION. A reporter of THE STaR was eent tothe White House at 2 o'clock this afternoon to in- juire about the condition of Mrs. Garfield. the reporter found Dr. Boynton, ehlet physician, in attendance. He has been the physician of Gen. Garfield's family for many years, and was called here by telegraph when Mrs, Garfield's case assumed & dangerous pheee. Dr. Boynton sald this afternoon: “Mrs. Garfield is suffering with a low nervous fever. distinct typhold, nor 1s, it It _ comes nearer the ‘bid typhus fever. She has for Several days, and is yet, in a precarious con- aition. There's no doubt about that. What has made the case alarming has been her high temperature, running up to 104 andivs. To- @ay there is a change In that respect; a lower- ing of the temperature, and if that ‘continues there will be a change for the better. Indeed there is some change for the better to-day, and We hope it may be permanent. To-day is the first day we have felt encouraged about her; but we can’t tell with any positiveness as to the result for several days yet. She is not out of danger by any means, The hot. weather has had some effect; not much. She now suffers but littie pain.” Dr. Boynton said, also, that the constant excitement under which Mrs, Gar- field has been laboring since last summer had the effect of prostrating the system and weak- ening its power to resist the disease; but that while Mrs, Garfield is not a or stout woman, she has a constitution, and her physicians bope for her recovery, Affairs in lexandria. INCREASED VALUBS—NEW SUNDAY LAW—POLIT- ICAL NOTES, BTC, [Reported for The Star.) THE annual assessment of the city for pur- Poses of taxation, which is made in the spring monthe, shows the total valuation of all kinds of real and personal estate this year as $4, 585, of which $3,222, 254 is real estate. In 1 the total valuations of city pi TLy WAS $5,769, 977, There has been since @ steady de- cline. In isiS-9 the valuation was $41,905,515, thence it supk until last year it was only $3,829,103, touching then its lowest point. It has now risen, aS above, to $4,140,585, an in- Crease cf about 10 per cent, and there is every prospect of additional increase. The taxes hi grown from 12 cents per hundred in 1Si4 to Cents in 1820; 50 cents in 1830 to SO cents in 1850; $1 in 1860, $2 in 1875, $2.20 in 1876, col K and down to $1.90 last year, with to $2 in 1: the promise of another reducti robably to $1.75 this year. With carefuln in expendi- ture the rate may possibly be yet farther re- duced, but it is unlikely that it will ever be re- duced to the rate ($1.50) paid in Washington, tor besides this city tax our citizens have a tax of 50 cents on the hundred dollars to the state of Virginia, making our total tax last year $2.4: on the hundred dollars, which, in the present State of business here is very onerous. THE SunDAY Law.—The new Sunday law ‘oes into effect here to-morrow, and many dealers display anxiety to know how far tt wiil be extended. The law expressly forbids the opening of any ‘ m, saloon or other place for the sale of intoxicating liquors,” or the sale of ‘intoxicating bitters or other drink.” To- bacco. cigars, candy, soda or mineral water are specially Inentioned and then a sweeping clause adds “any other goods, wares or merchandise whatsoever.” The act. however, does not apply to “milk or ice dealers in supplying their cus- tomers, or to apothecaries when putting up bona fide prescriptions or selling necessary medicines.” 1t 1s understood that tne law will beenforced in no unfair spirit, but that the heart of no pious person is hereafter to be broken by seelpg anybody make money on Sunday, even if fifteen tired-out policemen are not oply denied Sunday rest, but have todo extra work on Sunday without extra pay. Pouitics—The pele cauldron ts on ehe'fire here ngw day and night. It simmers and sings like a “pretty kettle of fish,” but it boils as furiously every night as the witches’ cauldron in Macbeth, There are party lines drawn, but there are so many local paras that the lines interlace and cross uDtil thé political feld looks like a sifter. Last night the readjusters met and talked over their divisions, and voted for candidates to the coming readjuster state convention. There is some dispute as to who are the delegates Chosen, but among those who were announced as elected are Messrs. Windsor, Covan, Dudley, Hammerdinger, Allen, Brown, Madella and others. MARINE REPAIRS.—The Alexandria ship- 5 Which does most of the work for the Potomac, 1s rot now busy. The steamer J. W. Thompson has been under repair here for some weeks.

WASHINGTON, D. C., SATURDAY, MAY 14, 1881 TWO CENTS Telegrams to The Star. THE STAR ROUTE SCANDAL, Damaging Developments in a Special from Arkansas. CurcaGo. May 14.—A special to the Jner- Ocean from Little Rock says that the frauds of the star route ring,which are attracting the at- tenticn of the country,are no news in Arkansas, where ex-Senator Dorsey's connection wit. them has long been more than suspected. He Procured the appointment of ex. Governor ¢ ladley as ter at Little Rock, supposin he could count on his assistance in forwarding his schemes on the ‘Treasury in connectioa with the star routes. Knowing this, in Jan- ary, 1878, he sent to Hadley about six hundred blank proposals and bonds, which the ring had printed for their own use, and which wer different in some those m aS) by the government and forwarded to | idders, with instructions to Hadley to get se- Curities on the bonds, have them signed in blank, approve them as postmaster, and return them tohim. This was done, and the bonds tothe number of four or five hundred were fixed up In this way. The number of the route, the terminal pcints. the amount of the bid and the name of tne bidder were not inserted as ‘before being approved the postmaster. These nas = were then approved by Postmaster Hadley in direct violation of law, and then sent by ex- press to S. W. Dorsey, Senator of the United States, for such use as he might make ofthem. They were not even straw bonds. The blank bonds were approved Lere on the I9th of January, 1878; shipped by Postmaster 7. numbers of the routes, the terminal the amounts of bids and the bidjers’ nam Were then filled in and the bidders’ tures attached, and the Sckhowseagmpent taken by a notary public, one A. T. (who was @ member of the ring.) and dated ‘Washington, January 5 and other days prior to those upon which the bonds were dated and approved. To the most of these bids the name of Jobn M. Peck, Dorsey’s brother-in-law, was attached, and acknowled twas taken by Boone as notary public, but it was afterward int: discovered that Peck had not been in Washing- ton for over a year, and that the atures were forgeries. Dorsey bimself stated that the Signature was not Peck’s, but that he belleved it was written by Joseph R. Richards, who he said had been Dorsey’s clerk, and he presumed was authorized to sign his name. Parties who know Dorsey’s handwriting say the signature resembled his more than Richards’. Kichards and Peck suddenly put in an appearance here a day or two ce, and it is thought for the purpose of covering up some Of the operations of the ring. They have been in close consultation with Postmaster Hadley but their plans are not known. About the time Dorsey sent the blank bonds here to Hadley he sent bianks to J. H. Clenden- ning, postmaster at Fort Smith, and requested him to procure sureties, approve in Diank and return to him. This Postmaster Clendennti refused to do, and so wrote Dorsey, and quote the law making it a penal offence, punishable with imprisonment in penitentiary for one year or more, for masters to approve bond; be- fore the number and description of the route, amount Of bid, and bidder's name were inserted and the bidder had og ia the proposal and made acknowledgment before an officer qualt- fled to administer oaths. Dorsey has ever since of Clerdenning. Clendenning Dorsey's letter and his reply thereto. Itis now said by the knowing ones here that Jack Kerratt, it postmaster, who left here suddenly a few days ago, and 18 with being a defaulter, did not leave at account, and is not a defaulter, but because he was in possession of a great many facts which the star route did not care to have made public, and that they induced him to leave the country and then started the story ‘that he was a defaulter. Mr. Dorsey Gets Possession of the Denver Decuments. DENVER, Col., May 14 —The Trivune contatns the following: Immediately after the exposure of Dorsey’s complicity in the star route ring, as telegraphed over the country, attempts were begun to quash the sult wirich had brought ou* the letters and obtain possession of the docu- ments. Yesterday it was successful. The let- ters were surrendered, and Dorsey paid the money to Wilcox, for which the sult was to be brought. This money, as is known, ts for Wil- cox’s work securing petitions for expediting the routes and subletting the smaller contract- ors. The same day on which the papers were surrendered Postmaster Genera] James tele- graphed to Denver for either the letters, certl- fed copies or photographs of them. Tae tele- gram came after the papers had been surren lered, and the registers probably concinded they were safe, but they are mistaken. Tere are certified copies in existence, and they will be used In connection with the documents in Portland, Oregon. FORE AFFAIRS, Bulgarian Politics.
