General: “D*An Siß~ln answer to jour in quiry as to the disposition to be' made of the case of the postmaster at Roma, N. Y., which was presented to the benate ou the 261 h day Of March, with the proposition that he be re moved for cause, and which proposi tion was not acted on prior to ad journment of that body an the 2d day of April, I have to say that to me It clearly seems to be my duly to exercise by prompt action In the case all the power which the present condition of the law has left In my hands, so far as it may be done Independently of the Government, to vindicate the laws which have been enacted for the regulation of the postal service, and to impress upon the Federal office holders the fact that no indulgence will be granted by the Executive to those who violate law or neglect pub lic duly. This postmaster, under sec -4044 of the UnUed States Revised Statutes and Itegulatloni of the Post office Department, was required to transmit to the department, a weekly report of the business done by him iu the money order branch of his office. It appears from Ihe official rcixirt of an inspector of (lie Post Office De partment, now before mo, ainl'which was submitted to the committee of the Senate, while the proposition to re move this official was before 11, that an examination of his office was ordered on the 2(ith dar of January, 1885, iu conse quence of the fact that no such week ly reports bad been made since the Cth day of December, 1884. It further appears from the report that such ex amination developed a most disgrace ful confusion iu ail that pertained to the accounts and financial condition of the office. There lias been no en try iu tho money order cash buck since July, 1884, and as might have been exported thoro was a deficiency in the money order account of more than seven hundred dollars, and in the postal accounts of more than four hundred. There la, I think, no dis pute touching these facts. Tho defi ciency has been refunded to the Gov ernment, under ap, arrangement with one of tho surotle of the delinquent official, and ho attempts to excuse I lie of his office by alleging that his assistant had entire charge of the money order business as well as of all other details of the office. In making such an excuse this offloor admits, it seems to me a violation of a plain duty in turning over the operation of hi* office to an assistanee without any pretext of sickness or unavoidable absence of the postmaster, which is contrary to a reasonable construction of section 4081 of the Revised Statute*, which provides that “In case of sickness or unavoidable absence of the post mailer of any money order post office, he may, with the approval ot the Pestmester General authorize a chief clerk or some other officer employed therein, to dischatgo atl lb* duties required by law of such postmaster.” By the claim now made that the assistant having had full charge is rcponsible for the delin quencies and Irrgtflarhies complained of.The postmaster also appears to con tradict hi* own sworn statement mtde to the department as late as Sept' 30, 1884, to tho effect that he himself had periormed for the pre ceding quarter the money order business of his office except when neoosearily absent. I shall do all that is in my power to rid tho pub lic service of officials who exhibit such loose ideas of their duty to the Government. The fact that I have be fore ine document signed by many residents of the city where this post master is located, and who belong to both political parties, asserting their entire confidence in his honesty and fidelity, demonstrates tho unfor tunate fkciiiiy with which such pa pers may be obtained and gives rite to an unpleasant suspicions touch ing the too prevalent standard ot politieal honesty. If I canuot re move this delinquent postmaster I can surely suspend him. This I have determined to do promptly, and I de sire you at once to present to me the papers necessary for that purpose with the designation of James B. Corcoran to perform the duties of postmaster in plaoe *f the official* thus suspend. Yours truly, [Signed] Grover Cleveland. The Clipper aay*: Next week the people of Warren county will havo an opportunity of seeing how they iiko the new ‘Jedge.’ With ex-Judge Pottle at tho bar and ex-Mr. Lump kin on th* bench, the scene will no doubt bear a striking resemblance to a Jostle* Court.” PKISCE OF WALES n IBILANO. The Prince of Wales left London en route for Ireland on Tuesday, the 7lh in*!. A dispatch of that date from Dublin says: At a meeting of the National League to day, Htaly and Obrien, members of Parliament, and other prominent Nationalist, denounc ed Loyalist flunkey Umax shown by ex tensive preparations in this and other cities and towns in Ireland to Welcome ihe Prince and Princess of Wales In speaking of the proiusc decorations which adorn the principal streets in this eity, they suggested that the Dublin corporation should close the roads along the proposed royal route. Mr. Hcaly, Superintendent, who presided at the meeting of National ists, said that the Prluco of Wales was coming ostensibly to see the con dition of the eonutry. It would be belter ii be visited lb* buta of the evicted families whom the League was supporting instead of picnicking with landlords. ile(Healy) regretted that the gentleman, destined to bo King of Ireland (great uproar and shouts of “Never,”) should be so ignorant of public feeling in Ireland as to visit Dublin Castle, and thereby cause Irishmen to attribute to him a desire to propup Karl Spencer's filthy scep tre and whitewash Dublin Castle, and to connect him (the Prince) with the murder of Joyce and Haynes. Healy concluded by assuring the Prince thai while wishiug him a pleasant voyage and plenty of amusement, his visit would have no political ef fect whatever. confederate: sympathy fob obant.

A cablegram of the Bth from Berlin, Germany, ay: The belief hitherto entertained it, official circle* that peace would be maintained between Eng land and Russia ha* undergone a dis tinct change. The dispatches from 81.

Each wilt lead an armv corps of 50,000 men. General Prince Dondoukoff, governor of Caucassus, takes a staffof military surveyors to Merv to report upon tho progress of the massing of troops and the condi tion of tho commissiarat. He will command the third army corps. The manner in which money niakca money is illustrated by the following: In the early fall a Boston firm bought shout 5,000 cases of canned peas.

A telegram of the 7th from Shen andoah, Pa., aaye: It now appears probable that the mine which caved upon ten minera ycaten ay will never be reopened, and it it even doubtful if the bodiee ol the entombed minera eould be taken out. The mine has been examined sufficiently to show that the men were direolljr beneath that portion of the mine which caved and must have perished instantly. Miners acquainted with the workings now give it as their opinion that at least a week must elapse before any of the bodies can bo recovered, and that it may take month* to recover them all. Six of the uufortunate men were married and leave that unmberof widow* and thirty or phans.

Asa Ladles' Hair Dressing, the Viooa is unequalled; It contains neither oil nor dye, renders the hair soft, glossy, and silken in appearance, and imparts a delicate, agreeable, and lasting perfume. Ma. C. P. Bittencn writes from Kirby, 0.. Jh/v 3, 18*2 : " Lwt fall my hair commenced failing out, and In a short time I became nearly baid. I used part of a bottle of Aries's Hair Vioor. which stopped the fail ing of the batr, and started anew growth. I hare now a full head of hair growing rigor ously, and am convinced that but for the use of yonr preparation I should hare been eullrtly bald." *T. W. Bow Sir, proprietor of the MfeArthnr lOhio) Enquire?, aays ; " AYER'S HAIR VIOOR IS a most excellent preparation for the hair. 1 speak of it from my own experience. Its use promotes the growth of new hair, and makes it gkwsjr and soft. The Vioor is also a tare cure for dandruff. Not within my knowledge baa the preparation ever failed to girt entire satisfaction." Ma. Asrnr* FAntasisy, leader of th* celebrated " Fairboim Family" of Scottish Vocalists, writes from liotttm, Ahus,, Feb. 6, 1880; " Ever since my hair began to give sil very evidence of the change which fleeting time procureth, I hare used AVer's Hair Vioor, and so hare been able to maintain anappearane# of youthfulness —a matter of considerable consequence to ministers, ora tors, actors, and in fact orery one who lives In the eyes of the public." Mm. O. A. Prescott, writing from !* Kin fit., Ch'trttitown, Mast., April 14, I*B2, says : " Two year* ago about two-third* of my hsii came off. It thinned very rapidly, and I was fast growing bald. On using Ayer s Hair Vioor the falling stopped and anew growth commenced, and In about a month my head was completely covered with short hair. It lias continued to grow, and is now as good before It fell, t regularly used but one bottle of the Vigor, but now use it occasionally aa a dressing."
