Ex-Sen.tor Dorsey, extensively known 2s one of the chief “star routers,” doubtiess has changed the complimentary opinion he expressed at the appointment of Wayne MacVeagh and Mr. James, a8 members of General Garfleld’s Cabinet. In the National Rejublican of March 11, 1881—not so long ago—we find the following dialogue between an enterprising interviewer and Mr. Dorsey. The re- porter begins by asking: “What do you think of Wayne MacVeagh? It Is Teported that some of you stalwarts doubt his or- thodoxy as a republican?” “The impression that MacVeagh ts not a repub- lean in the largest and best sense is entirely wrong. I believe that he will make one of the ablest and strongest attorney generals we have ever had, and I believe as much as_I can believe anything that he will occupy the fore front as a Fadical republican 1n respect to the enfercement of the election laws and the protection of the Tights of citizens and voters in-the southern states.” - “It was reported that you were one of the most active opponents of the appointment of Postmas- ter General James.” “Not being present Ihad no power or vaice In making cabinets. Whether I was for or against Mr. James would not have affected the result. I Delleve he will make one of the best Postmasters General we have ever had. His long experience in the department and the unusu.l ability he has shown in grasping and handling detalis, is an evidence of his emineift fitness for the place.” “Taking Jt altogether, then, Mr. Dorsey, sald the scribe, fn concluston, “You think the Cabinet Apositively good one, individually and collective- “Yes, Tdo; and Iam perfectly confident that be. fore twelve tuonths have elapsed the intelligence of the country will cordially ladorse my opinion.” —___§_-e-___ A Little Girl Burned to Death.

THE GOVERNMENT TO RENEW THE PROSECUTION WITH GREAT VIGOR. Special Dispatch to the Cincinnati Gazette. WASHINGTON, August 14.—It ts well understood that the government will move with ‘the greatest vigor against the star route contractors at the hext meeting of the grand Jury. An tmunense deal of documentary and other evidence has accu- mulated in the hands of the prosecution, and from all the signs, the country may rest assured that the government, sofar from abating in its ener- gies, will resume the campaign against the star Toute frauds with unabated vigor. It does not matter how the present trial ends, so far as effect- ing the action of the’ prosecution in the fall. Neither the people of this country, nor the prose- cution, will rest contented till’ the last one of these guilty men fs punished, and It ts perfectly understood’ by all intelligent men that this na- tional scandal has been but slightly abraded on the surface. The following are understood to be among the principal subjects for inquiry by the grand jury which meets in October: ‘That the combination known as the Kerens Root arty Was composed of Richard C. Kerens, Logan H. Root, John D. Adams and Stephen B. Elkins, and were interested in many contracts, prominent among which was that from Fort Worth to Surna, Phoenix to Prescott, and many others. Some ot their contracts were In the names of Kerens and of Adams, but many in the names of other people. John D. Adams, of this firm, seems to have de- Voted his energies largely to the steamboat ser- vice on the southern rivers. It will be remem- bered that during this investigation tt has ap- Pearea that the contractor on the route from Las Vegas to Los Cruces objected to paying R. C. Ke- Tens a large sum of money quarterly, represented by postal drafts which Cornelius Cosgrove (the contractor) had given to sald Kerens, During the pendency of thts rupture between Cosgrove on the one side ‘and Elkins and Kerens on the other, the former asserted to many people that he had given the drafts amounting to about $30,000, to Kerens and Elkins for having the Lis Vezas to Los Cruces route expedited. ‘The papers on’ file in this case are sud to be quite damaging, and their satistac- tory explanation wil be dificult. Jas. B. Price was a sub-contractor for tls combination, and was by many said to be mixed up with them. Itwill be remembered this latter gentleman has seen proper to flee from the count A. H. Brown, the representative of Jas. L. Sin- derson (formerly of the firm of Barlow & Sander- son), and the holder of a large number of tom- porary contracts, stood In very high favor with Brady, as did Chas. Andrews dnd a’ certain Dr. J.

Sanderson, a prominent and wealthy contractor, was indicted in the first batch, which indictinent_ was quashed because of amishomer, and in the second indict- ment, on which Brady'& Co. are now being tried, he was for some reason omitted. During the course of the present trial {t was developed thit this same Sanderson had drawn pay for service on routes which; to say the least, ought not to have been pad him. ‘The route from Vanita to Las Vegas is sald to be one of the Worst cases On the list,and the proof of fraud ov: whelming.

New York, August 16.—The Post’s financial ar- ticle says: The stock market has been irregular on a reduced volume of business, the advance in the rates for money yesterday having had a ten- dency to restrict trading. At the opening prices declined, but at the first call the temper of specu- lation changed, and an advance ranging from ? to 13g per cent in the general list was noted. The upward movement was led by Northern Pacific, Reading, Del., Lack. and Western, and St. Paul & Omaha. Outside of the active list Memphis and Charleston rose 5, Pullman Palace Car 2, and Canada Southern 2% per cent. Since midday the market has becn dull and weak, prices showing a. decline of 4 to 1% per cent, the latter in Delaware, Lackawarna and Western. Ratlroad bonds, al- though quiet, have been firm. State bonds are lower for Tenhessees. Government bonds have been firm at ‘the closing quotations of yesterday. In the money market stock exchange borrowers have been supplied thus far to-day at 4a5 per cent, the former being the ruling rate. The demand has been compara- tvely light.
