In November, 1979, I waa astounded by an order of Postmaster-General D. M. Key, charging me with “being engaged in fraudulent schemes and devices,” ete. Conscious that such charges had ho foundation, I made application for the evidence upon which he acte1, and demanded an investiga- tion. Talso brought suit against him, alleging the false and injurious nature of the statements made. I challenged his authority to make the CH NAINSOOK, INDIA | order that Registered Letters should not be de livered t6 me, and that Money Orders remitted should not be paid. _ I wished to test the validity +: Weeell | of this order, and I was advised that he was Noble for damages If his statements were false, which { was prepared to prove. Whilst this suit ing, an investigation was made by Post- master-General Key, which resulted in his issuing a new order in place of the first, in which he stated in substance, that the evidence upon which the tirst order was issued was inaccurate and in- correct, “not being satisfled that I was engaged in any fraudulent schemes.” Upon the promul- gation of this new order (Feb., 1880), interference with my Registered and Money Orders ceased. A new administration came tn, and with it a new Postmaster-General, who in the routinecame fo my case, which he referred to Att's-Gen’l Mac- Veagh,who examined the Statutes and the powers of the Postmaster-General thereunder, and de- elded tn substance that, notwithstanding ray suit and the second order of Postmaster-General Key, the power was always in the hands of the Post- master-General, and that whenever there was evidence of fraud he raid seus his order denying use Of the Registry department. There- upon, ‘the Postmasterdenenar made a thorough investigation of my business, and decided that there was no fraud therein, and that interference with my affairs was not authoriz-d_ Upon these conclusions the question came wy naturally, with regard to the dismissal of the Pending suit against Postmaster-General Key, Which had been appealed to the Supreme Court of the United States; he assured my representa- tive that there would’ be no further interference with my business unless fraud was discovered; in consequence of this assurance, I consented to dis- Miss the appeal. It was dismissed under this agreement, {n good faith on my part, relying, as I implicitly did, upon the assurance of the P. 0. Department. Some time after this dismissal was entered of | Tecord, my affairs were called to the attention of Postuaster-General Howe, the third Postraaster- General who, witain two years, made inquiry into iny business’ This officer, in an official letter (a of which accompantes this) to the Speaker of the House of Representatives, stated the substance Of the agreement which induced me to consent to the disinissal of my case; he affirmed this agree- ment, and conceded that, even if no other ques- Uoa was Involved, the P.O. Department ought hot now to avail itself of the dismissal to revive the objectionable order. He thus recognized that | the fulittiment of the agreement was obligatory pon the Department. Notwithstanding the agreement, its recognition and affirmation, the Department of Justice, through Ass't AtUy-Gen'l Freeman, now comes forward, and, without charging fraud, (that belng demands that the obsolete order shall be enforced. he attention of Assistant Attorney -Gen- eral Freeman Is called to the gross breach of faith in thisdemand, in thus availing himself of a tech- nicality to revive the obsolete order. whlch housh appearing of record,) was 1n fact abro- | gated by a fair agreement, he replies that he him- selfs not responsible tu the Department of Jus- uw d, Tefusing to recognize sald agreement, he insists upon the revival of the order. ‘Thus 1t results that I am deprived of the oppor- tunity of having a trial of a case, which I was ad- ¥ised_ would fully vindicate my ‘rights, and now the P. 0.. Department takes all the advan- tages which would have accrued toit had the case been tried and decided against me. Pending the full establishment of my rights in the courts of law, I appeal to all those who Te- spect fale play, to'carerully consider my statement bove, and no less so the exceedingly interestin; and conclustve letter from’ex-Postmaster-Genel Howe, herewith appended. -Post OFFICE DEPARTMENT, OFFick OF THE PosTMASTER-GENERAL, WashixeTon, D.C., April 3, 1822.

A. Dauphin ts engaged 1n conducting a scheme or de- ment of money vice for obtaining money through the mails by | means of tals? and fraudulent pretenses, repre- sentations and promises, the order of Noverber 18, 1879, 1s declared to be suspended, so far as re- laics tothe sald Dauphin, until the case shall have been heard and determined by the Supreme Court of the United States.

The Saratoga express, leaving NewYork at9a.m.,arrives at the pretty rail- Toad station here, close by the Fort William Henry hotel, at 4:25 p.m. We had the beneftt or a cool day for traveling, and, safe in the cars, enjoyed seeing a magnificent storm on the Hudson river, between New York and West Point, and heard the thunder echo among the hills made classic by Irving and N. P. Willis. Speaking of storms, I found the Fort Willtam Henry hotel here minus a flag staff on its roof, the lightning having, on the 4th of July of this year, shivered the one it had during a particularly flerce Storm. As the roof is slate, no damage whatever was done except to the flay staff. Mr. Roessle Says he had a similar experience once at the Delavan house, at Albany, so he would not besur- prised at any’ time to hear that the Arlington otel flag staff at Washington had gone to meet {ts colleagues. This week the flag staff om the Fort William Henry hotel has been replaced, and the “stars and stripes” again‘flutter from its lofty height. LAKE GEORGE CHANGES. Coming here for the first time after an absence of several years, Ihave been amazed at the im- provements I have found from one end of the lake to the other, and the number of new residences seattered all along its shores. But I find the scenery still unrivaled in beauty and variety. Lake George, with a railroad comffig to the very shores of its headwaters—which, as all are aware, are at this (the south) end of the lake—and an electric light gilttoring after sunset from the front of its largest hotel, can no longer be called primi- tive, but it has ‘lost none of its picturesque features or attractions in the way of quiet amuse- ments with the march of improvements. There are sixty hotels, varying in size and advantages, now on the shores of the lake for the benefit of summer tourists, There are two hotels in this village which are open all the year round, and- four within two mes of each other in this néigh- borhood which are open Guring the summer and early autumn. These are the Lake house (the old- est of the number), the Fort William Henry (the largest and most ‘ornamental), the Fort Ge (the newest, having been open only about three Years), and Crosby-side, about a mile beyond the iatter, on the east side of the lake, at the foot of French mountain. ‘This now has several cottages, in an ornamental style of architecture, as depend” enc! Caldwell 1s a pretty lttle village—the county seat of Warren county, and has a new and hand- some brick court house and three churches, besides somo very nica shops, and a drug store, which was @ needed addition long before it was established. The churches are St. James—Episcopal, which claims a majority of the residents as attendants if not members, and which ts built of stone, and has a pleturesque interior and stained glass ‘windows In the chancel; a Presbyterian church and a Roman Catholic chapel Both of the latter are frame bu'ldings. No other denominations are re- sented here. The chapel was built by the aulist Fathers, who have a monastery as a sum— mer home for priests and students, on the east bank of the lake, opposite this village. The land— twenty acres—was donated to the order over ten Years ago by Hon. Chas O'Connor, of New York, frho had a small cottage in the grounds, which, hé included in the git, ‘The frame building, used as & monastery, has been erected since he gave the land, and contains a chapel and private oratories, as well as sleeping rooms, refectory, &c. ‘Some pretty cottages are now belng bullt in the village, and the only Queen Anne house I have seen 18 the parsonage of the Episcopal church. This parsonage has tastefully laid out grounds Funning down to the edge of the lake. ‘The number of cottages along the shores of the lake are Increasing every year, and now the ma- Jority of the eligibie sites near any of the regular andings for the large boats are built upon. Evi- dentiy the beauties, as well as the cool, healthful climate, and freeedom from sannoyitig insects, found On the banks of Lake George are appre: cia THE ARTIST WILSON. Mr. Matthew Wilson, the artist, who had a studio last winter in the Corcoran Building, has a. summer residence on Lake George, opposite Cald- well, and about a mile and a half from the Fort William Henry Hotel. His cottage has a very Pleasing situation, on a small promontory, which has been artificially extended into the lake, so that yt commands views of the lovely sheet of water in every direction except the rear, which looks upon the green trees of French mountala. Justoutside the cottage is Mr. Wilson’s studio, which 13 of stone and one story in height, with a skylight. He has there several portraits’ not yet fnisuéd, and one or two which are done. Among the latter 1s a very fne one of President Arthur, which belongs, I think, to the Corcoran Art Gallery. He Js fuishing another one of the President, which Promises to be even better than the first. The coloring of both Is especially fine. Me ts also fin- ishing, for the Navy department, a portrait of e: Secretary Welles, which he began while that gen- tleman was living. One of his portralts of Presi- dent Arthur fs to go to the Louisville exposition. When I was in Louisville last October I wrote to ‘Tux Stax of a portrait I saw there at the residence Of the widow?ot the late Joshua Speed, of that clty, of President Lincoln, which others as well a3 myself considered the most life-like and altogether Pleasing one we had geen of him. I find that Mr. tison painted that, He has one now in his studio of Mr. Lincoln which is an equally fine likeness. As there are so many settlements, large and small, along the shores of the lake, and so many famiiles have cottages on its banks, or on thé islands, inost people who come to any part of Lake George have friends at some other point, whom they visit by means of ‘the boats, which ar constantly plying up and down. I am informed that no more islands can now be bought on this lake, as the state of New York prefers to leave them free for summer squatters, so that any one who wants to camp out, or put up a temporary sheiter on an tslandin Lake George not already occupied can do so. CAMPING OUT. saw, while on a trip among the islands, whose beauty no mere words can convey, the island on which Judge and Mrs. Ferriss and another Wash- ington family passed last summer, and where they expect to be again in August. It isnot far from “Fourteen-Mile-Island,” and has a very pl¢- turesque situation. The party occupy a comfort- able, but primitive, cottage there, and by thelr own'small boats communicate constantly with the main land, and by means of the large boats, which will land there when signalled, Keep up communt- cation with the outside world. * ~ Camping parties bound for the islands are now Leginning to arrive, and [saw one consisting of twelve women and three men, all suitably clad for {Toughing it,” start off on Tuesday by the steam- boat Lille Price.

Bringing the Delaware and Hudson Canal Co.’s Fallroad from Gilen’s Falls to Lake George,-a dis- tance of about nine miles, formerly passed over in stage-coaches at a very slow pace, has hurt the ‘stage-coach line only, for the boats on the lake, I am told, carried more passengers last year, the ‘Qrst summer the railroad was open, than ever before, The round trip from Saratoga here and return 18 how made inside twelve hours, and eee 6 oo ae ca of Lake George by ess 10 of the lake for din~ ‘There are a great variety of boats onthe from a vei Infge sauna une Horicon— wats the Lia, ‘and which make dally excursions through the lest parts of the ‘and one ‘of them ts there “are, ‘Dy actual count, twenty-six os ere Re val propelled by steam on the lake, end another boat Poy GO ee tips next month.

The School Trustees—A White Man’s View of the Question. ‘To the Editor of Tax Evenio Stan: In some of the newspaper communications by colored men on school matters it 1s falsely assumed that the wnites have no interest whatever in the character of such trustees as may be selecte4 from the colored pzople, and that tho colored trustees act for the colored schools only. The law does not prescribe the color of the trustee: the whole board might be biack, or white, or any intermediate tint; and each member votes on alll the affairs of all the schools without regard to color. Certain schools are nasigned by the board to ipdividual trustees for more especial attention, and a whits trustee may have charge of colored schools, and vice versa. For several years Mr. Wormlcy, colored, has been one of two trustees having special change of all the schools in the county—about halt of then being white. Mr. Warner, white, has been his col- league. The white schodis never complained of Mr. Wormley, nor the colored of Mr. Warner. The colored county schools, like the waite, report to tuo white superintendent No injustice has been jone. Since 1874 there -has been but one board. The members are equal in authority. Each has ono Vote. It is of Importance, therefore, to every pa- rent that each trustee shall be a respectable and intelligent head of a family, familiar with the educational methods An ignorant or unprincl- pled or fanciful man in the board harms all Classes alle. Ifthe Commisstoners think proper to appoint either a white or black man they should seo that he has all the qualifications, There are colored men whom every white parent would be glad to see intrusted with the interests of the schools, Two of them were mentioned In the papers some months ago: Mr. Grimke and Mr. Waring, both men of good repute, intelligence, Uberality and experience in public business’ When other appointments are {n order the colored people can show thelr good sense py putting such men forward. ‘The cry of the disappointed, that colores teach- ers are to be displaced in favor of white ones, 13 Pure demagoguelsm. No one connected with the Schools hasever broached such an idea, and the increasing supply of competent colored’ teachers makes it absurd. ‘There has been complaint by colored people that certain colored famiiles aro quartered in numbers upon the colored schools. If this 1s 80 a stop should be put to tt ‘The demand made bya few colored men in of- fice for the payment to the colored schools of be- tween two and three hundred thousand dollars over and above what they have had 4s another ece of demagoguelsm. ‘There 1s no justice in it; © amount is not needed; and its payment out of the school appropriations will never be made. The demand is a conventent cry to persuade ignorant: People that they have been again terribly wronged yy the Waits MAN. ——_—_—+e.-—____ Who Favor Mixed Schyolv? To the Editor of Tae EvENINe Sr. As the question of mixed schools {s again coming to the front it is tobe hoped that you will spare the space for its full discussion, There are aides to the subject that as yet your bright luminary has not shone upon. It is important to know who are the agitators. Upon investigation it ts belteved you will find among the whites tho most, important are philanthropists, who propose legis- lating for other people and tueir children upon a subject that has no personal interest to them. and to the careful consideration of which they have never given an hour’s thought; second, proprie- tors of private schools, who know that as soon as the schools become mixed an exodus of the “cleanly class” will surely take place, and thou- sands who now have no desire to patronize them Will be forced to avail themselves of their services. ‘There 1s but one class of Negro agitators on this topic, and they consist entirely of those who con- sider that their children are contaminated by dally contact with the poor of their own color. They do not propose that ait colored children shall be admitted to white schools, but that those who have given evidence of relingypent by attatniug government positions from t8wel washers and “cuspadorians” up are to be accorded privileges due their social advancement. ‘This latter class 13 not large, but_nolsy—for proot ask a level-headed member of any colored organization, religious or secular, By virtue of their position they demand all the ont seats and control of all questions. It cre as Hberal with thelr money as they are of their talk they would bo less unpopular with thelr fellows. It takes all they make to keep up their style—they have nothing to spare for the Teal advancement of their Face. As far as thelr own color 1s concerned they &fe powerless to harm the schools of Washington. What they may ac- complish in that direction will depend solely upon the help they may obtain from the blatherskite Who gains a ‘prominence in W.snington, that he never hoped forin his native hamlet, and by the Proprietors of private schools. ‘Our schools at present are probably the best in the country, and are not to be Improved by mixing them.

Mr, Coleman opened the proceedings to-day be- fore the Hill investigating committee by reading an affidavit complaining that the papers called for by the prosecution were first Inspected by the de- fense, who had ample opportunity to suppress and destroy any papers calculated to damage the defense. Mr. Totten emphatically dented that he had ex. amined any paper called for by Mr. Coleman, with the single exception of an unimportant letter put In evidence yesterday. He also dented that any Paper had Been suppressed or destroyed, and characterized Mr. Coleman’s method of procedure as extraordinary. Mir. Coleman replied that it was a matter of Jest in the office of ths supervising architect that the Prosecution had not been smart enough to secure an essential paper, He said the fact that Mr. Hill remained fn charge of the official records made the investigation a perfect farce in the eyes of the country. ‘Mr. Totten challenged the gentleman to call a single witness in support of Dis assertion that em- ployes had suppressed paper The chairman said that the committee would take the matter under consideration, and submit It to the Secretary. ‘The committec had no power to suspend Mr. Hill, A SLATER’S TESTIMONY. George Fitch, a slate roofer, was called for the Getense, He sald that he had read in the papers a statement by one of the witnesses that copper wire was uperior to the Farquhar fastener for slate roofs, and 1t had caused him to laugh heartily. He asserted that the Farquhar fastener was much superior to wire, and described its advantages, On cross-examination the witness said that he kept a restaurant, Dut also did slate work. . Coleman,—"Do you slate your eustomers?” A.—“Yes; when they don’t behave themselves I put a French roof on them.” [Laughter.] COMPARATIVE COST OF SLATE ROOFS. ‘Mr. Thompson, of the architect's office, testified that the cost of labor upon the slate roof of the New York post office was $27.81 per square, and with the slate the cost was $43.96. Upon the Cin- cinnati building and others constructed by Mr. Hill, the total cost was about $27 per square. ‘Mr. Stinemetz endeavored to show from the monthly reports that the labor upon the roof of the New York building cost. $11 per square, but could not positively contradict Mr. Thompson. CROSS-FIRING, Mr, Totten announced that he was prepared to begin the defense in the Philadelphia case, as he | asked the reporter. | understood that it had been closed for the prose- cution. Mr. Coleman d@ared that he had no Philadel- phia case, or Chicago case, or Cincinnati case; they were all parts of one sarge and he should refuse to regard the case as close The chairman sail that 1t was not necessary to Tepeat the testimony given in the Philadelphia | ley and Gett ti case in the case of the Dulldings.

Boating was quite lively on the river last evening, as usual. The Columblag, under the skillful hagd~ Ung of Ellis Ward, are getting tn condition to well represented at the national amateur regatta at Newark on the 7th of August. ‘They will hold aspectal meeting this evening to decide upon ‘What crews shall be entered, It is the general de- sire of the club tosend two fours, for the senior and junior races, go that the two crews can com- pose an elght for the elght-oared race. It 18 prob- able that the big four will consist ot Nute, Wade, Hunterman and Woodward. This is the sme four that rowed at Lynchburg, with the excepuion of Hunterman. ‘The Potomacs ao not seem to be getting the steady practice that they ought. A great many men row every evening, but the trainer 1s scarcely ever able to get the same four out twice. ‘There are no hopes of the club's sending a crew to New- ark, or it 1s probable that the men would be to- ther regularly. Whatever crews row from the tomacs this year will average very light, as did the crew at Lynchburg. Everything belng equal, heavy men are considered the best, but light men learn to row more readily, and for the first year are preferred to heavier wen Who began pulling at the same time. ‘There will undoubtedly be arace on the river between the Columbias and Potomacs before a great while, but just when or how. it. will come about can’t’be said just now. Ever since the Fourth of July the Potomacs have expected achal- lenge from the Columbias, while the latter have been walting for the same invitation from the Po- tomacs. The Columbia claim that they are the champions of the river, on the ground that the de- feat at Lynchburg had'no effect upon thelr stand. ing here, and therefore they will continue to hold the title ‘until wrested from them on the Potomac. The Potomacs, on the other hand, say that as they defeated the Columblas at Lynchburg It 18 only fitting that they should be challenged it the Columnbias desire to wipe out the defeat. There Is no doubt but that both clubs are willing and per- haps anxious to row, but the spirit of antagonism which made its appearance at the opening of the season continues to prevent any amicable arrange- ments betweon the clubs. Neither one 1s willing togive an inch. ‘Things cannot continue this way many days longer, and a challenge will come trom somewhere, and, as predicted in’ Tue Stan some time ago, besides having two open regattas on the | Potomac’ this year there will be some match races between the red and blue in fours, and very lkely in elghts also. ‘The Columbia boat club gave another hop at thetr boat house last night, and there was a attendance.
