Btartling Discoveries Made by Postmaster-General James, Assistant Postmaster Gen- eral Brady Mixed Up in the Affar. He is Forced to Tender His Resignation, and Does ®oat Once: By National Asscciated Prees. ‘WasmineroN, April 22—1 a. m.— A sensation at ‘the post office depart- partment yesterdsy was the enforced Tesignation of Thomas J. Brady, second assistant postmaster-general. Yester- day the postmaster general wrote a letter to Brady at the dictation of the t, demanding his immediate rTulgnltlon, and il:y was tendered. ‘here are ugly framors afloat touching thesiae rnuul.“ and General Brady's connection with the contract of the route. When James touk hold of the post- office department he began at once an investigation of the star contracts He has not yet completed this work, bt has gone far enough to convince himself that great frauds and abuses exist. It wad this knowledge that in- dueed the postmaster general to send commissloner to Memphis to inver the steamboat servieo at that point, which is believed to be retten and corrupt. This ssrvice, though mot properly belonging to the star routes, was inangurated by Postmas- ter-General Key to accommodate merchants of Tennessee. It is alleged that many of the ster routes, for which the government pays a royalty, run Into some piaces and decsris others, and on some there ere no ter- mins] points. They start at given places, and run to places where it has been found that compensation on one route, which was “expedited,” was increased from $700,00 to $2,500,- 000. The investigation, as far as it has progrested, has developed the most glaring incousistencies. The postmas- ter_general will, through the press, make public the resalt of his investi- gatio The postoffice officiais said to-day tnat there is much that it would ot be prudent to disclose now. The ra are in the hands of other offi cials, and It will bo long before there are other developments. Gen. James is satisfied that with the evtravagance which he can top off in the Star route service, thatin two fis- | years he can make the postoffice department abso- lutely self-sustainiog, Itisreported that the resignations of several other officers who are knswn to have had questionable re tlons with the Star rovte ring wil bedemanded, and that several clorke in the contract office are marked for dismissal g A DULL SENATE, DEBATE OVER THE WORN OUT ISSUES OF | THE PasT.

He sald that the senator's testimony in regard to frandulant elections was on old story that had been refated tims snd time again. He spoke for an hour and his remarks were devoted entirely to clearing Florida's political record, and showing that the republicans had & large hand In much of the alleged corraption. Ho denied thatpolitical marder had ever been proved to have been committed by the democrats in Florida. Stch lies were too common to be news. Senator Dawes made a speech in ro- ply to Semator Call, in which be talked 0 g: desl about bourbon democrate. tor Jones, of Florida, asked what a bourbon democrat was. Seoator Dawes raplied that the bourbons were democrats who learned nothing new and forgot s good deal. Senator Wade Hampton then took ocossion also to deny that fraud and vlolence were the rule in South Caro- lins. He had himself talked openly all over the state against all suspiclons or suggestions of fraud or violence, snd he was proud to say that his ‘words were heeded. In the course of his remarks he denied that the carpet bagger was a republi He wes generally nothing more or less thaa & thief and & robber. He also called attention tothe fact t at he, an ex- confederate and elave holder, had even gone 0 far in his state a3 to recommend the adoption of the Mas- sachusetts constitution for South Oarolina, as it was the strongest state = ights constitution of all the thirty- eight. Senator Hampton announced that Be would reply more fally to the sen- atorfrom Maine when he should be present. Senator Jonas stated, in regard to the Heath outrages, in Cald well , Louisisna, that he had received word that a full refatation of the story of the ontrages was on the way, but that he had alresdy heard that the alleged victim's barns were burned for the insurance, and thus his reputation for trath and veraclty ‘was not above impeachment. Mr. Dawes replied that the man was of character when b it was too bad if he b erated on account of his associations in Loulsiana. The debate went on and finally drifted into _the free ballot issue in Alsbams, which was discussed at length by Senators Dawes and Mor- " The senste adjourned at 5:40 p. m, until 12 to-morrow.
