It has been believed for a long time that certain government officials In Washington were more o* less mixed up with the star route gang. The mat­ ter it seeiiis WHS considered at a cabi­ net meeting, when it was- referred to Hie Attorney General who submitted a roport. The report implicates Charles F. TTenrv. marshal of tlie District of Col­ umbia; D. B. Ainger. postmaster of Washington: M. M. Parker, assistant postmaster; M. D. Helm, foremen of the government printing office.

Spencer,govern­ ment director of the Union Paci tic rail­ road--all o.f whom were in mediately removed by .the president. • The blow fell without warning, the meu so summarily removed • ex­ pecting nothing of the kind. There are rumors of the president's intention to remove other officers, among them "Assistant Postmaster General Hatton and Assistant , Secretary of the Treas­ ury New, but it does not appear that they have any foundation in fact, Tbe dismissed post master and assis­ tant postmaster insist that they are innocent and1 demand a thorough' in- ' An end of the Scovilie business vesication of the charges against |c promised, and it is said that Mr. tl»em.

Its interest, as a part of the star route literature, is rather greater at this ti.me than when It was published, since the president's paction In relation to these cases has brought public attention sharply back to the subject. The main purpose of %he letter is to calmly re-state to tbe president the reasons why Mr. McV*»gh WM unwilling to yiefd to 1«SK solicit*- to remain In the cabinet after the {j.-i - . .Jdeath of President Garfield. The pub- Sjii #|llc now knows, from the - subsequent j |of events, that the view of the matter whicli it now appears was taken by the then attorney general, «was cor­ rect and well founded. The president * has doubtless felt the anomalous and extraordinary position in which he has ^liimself beenfplaced by*tlie*attltude of ' »en like Gorhani, who have not ceased to da. in the past year, what McVcagh then anticipated their doing, nauveli*, praising the president fulsomely on the One hand and abusing everybody direct­ ly connected with the star route trials •••tindecently on the other. The presi­ dent has very tardily taken a step well calculated to relieve him from the fair implication which the public has been aampalled to draw from this state of facts. If he had done it earlier it might not now;he necessary to re-try the star route thieves. There are rumor%from Washington that the president has not finished the work of decapitating offi­ cials who are knowu to have retarded the executive justice In these cssesf There are passages in McVeagli's letter which plainly indicate that District Attorney Corkhili is one ot them. but Mr. Tnlloch has been npppointcd postmaster. He was formerly secre* retary of State of New Hampshire and in 1S72 was secretary of the vepubll- can congressional committee. The president has performed a most righteous act and he has not done it a day too soon. We liaye no iloubt it is true as the attorney general states, that the officers of the law land those who have been aiding him it! the dis­ charge of his duty in this busines have been from the lics.1 'encircled with Snares, pitfalls and every species of vile device'that-co«Id be. invented to harm them\ hinder their usefulness and pre­ vent. the administration of justice. '.'Some portions of this community who surround these defendants and who have enjoyed, or do stil". enjoy minor official positions," sa.vs the at­ torney "general, "know no allegiance to any one but ill is band of robbers &nd render no service to any one but their evil employers. From motives of gain or other crftrupt considerations they are saturated wi*,h affinities for the-e bad men. and they have contributed by every means in their power, at the bidding of their masters, to obstruct public justice and to defame its officers with the hope of securing the acquittal of the worst band of organized scout! rirela that ever existed since the eota meuo-ment of the government. *' This is strong language but Will any honest man dispute its truth?

No one else knew the •nan, cxccpt as hl« color Indicated. Be walked down the center aisle and presented his credentials in person. In all probability he was the only y<Mi- ator who was ever compelled to do that. The Vic® President arose and the new Senator was at once sworn In " Still alone andj ungreeted, Mr. Bruce passed to and took the seat lie had se­ lected. Then Mr. (Jonkling, who had been watching Mr. AlcornV marked neglect with nn air of scornful sur­ prise. walked ovef to the colored Sen­ ator, extended his hand and intro­ duced himself. *'This is Senator flmeeifof Mississippi.

The act wa» noticed by a good many in the galleries and -on the floor, and won for Oonkling the Warmest friendship of Mr. Bruce. , KINU WOOD* -- EmnJir Pi.

The one thing manent among us is the watchful ousy of the various nationalities. It le different Consuls that keep order 0, not the Turks; and, were it not this protection, Europeans could live in Turkey. The Turks are in- erent tradesmen. Nearly all the ps in Galata, and the whole of those ?era, are kept by Europeans. The jeks are the chief traders, though a art business is done by the Levan- os. The most fashionable shops are ench, but there are a few first-rate glish and American ones. A large „ss of Turks hawk their wares in the eet. They are for the most part e, stalwart, civil-spoken men. They |i>uhler enormous baskets, containing eeses, creams, fruits, vegetables, and ny other comestibles, and furnish re than half the alimentation of the y. The habits of these men are v simple; they live chiefly upon sad unci fruit; but they also know the ret of the pot au feu, and often I ,Ve seen a knot of them, after their y's work, grouped under a shed or on jreen spot of earth, mixing the "sav- v mess"--you will perhaps be shocked hear the pot contains vegetables (of lions a large share) stewed in oil!
