W.iblliNGTON LETTER.
'^rfer? From our Regular Correspondent
t'sL Je
investf^tinj onynittc. tl are-
f ew even among the party osoeiate*
cen ce in connection with the treasury
contingent fund while lie waa the head
oftli»t department. On th« contrary,
all the assertion? which were made
through,the newspapers in connection
wilt the investigation, and which
wese calculated at least to dim the
brightness of hia official reputation.
tuna out to.be undisputed facts. The
stationery for the Sherman bureau
w« supplied bv contractors for the
treasury and was, by means of fraud,
ulent bills and wuchens, paid out 0 f
itho public money. She rooms occu-
pied by the public bureau were fitted
out by gag figtures in the same way.
Draughtsman, tradesmen, and labor-
ers in the empIo 3 *m 2 nt of the gov¬
ernment were engaged for part of
their time in the private service of
Mr. Sherman in and about his dwell¬
ing bouse, stables, and other con¬
structions in which-he was person ally
interested, and these men were paid,
not by himself, but by the govern¬
ment, It is a rather lame excuse for
Jfn.81>errnai% to allege in his defense
that he was not aware of these irregu¬
larities. Such-explanations are en-
tirely unsatisfactory. And the inev¬
itable irapzessio* left by a perusal
the report of the committee is, first,
that there is no proper system
checks by which fraud in the
itureofthe contingent fund of the
departments can be prevented
discovered; and second, that, as a
rule, the high officials of this gjyern-
inent are not influenced by that
delicate sense of personal honor anc
honesty which woyjd ; itocp frheir
reputation untarnished; so. that even
the breath of ealouiay couM not dim
it. John SJierwas, entered, the service
of the govenwnieijt several years ago
a poor man. During a greater part
of th.e time his salary has been but
$5 00G per y W, aud, he has lived in
a style costing fully that much, yet
to day be is worth probably two
millions. Comment ia unnecessary.
Everythin is stfit in a state
uncertainty concerning the outcome
of the star route prosecutions, but a
good many observant people begin
think they strnjf a mice. There is
every now and then a fresh assertion
On the part of the prosecutors, that
the eases are to be pushed vigorously,
but this case has eras d to d ceive
any anybody. There is not much
faith in ‘Co!.’ George Bliss, the presi¬
dent s friend, now in charge of the
a es, a nd notwithstanding the fact
.hat a few indictments were found,
sometime ago, it is a pretty safe
calculation that no harm will eyer
come to Brady and Dorsey at the
hands of the present ad mini
Of course there must be a show
doing something. an,d the case may
actually be brought to tidal,, but that
will be tbe ead of it.. Ncbgdy will
be hurt unless it is some of the small
■ fry who- were merely the tools and
who didn’t get much of the swag.
■ Gibson, Cook, and all the original
instruments under McVeagh who
were thoroughly in earaest, have been
frozen out. Col, Cook was regarded
S3 the strongest practical attorney in
the case because of his ability and
thorough familiarity with the criminal
law practice here, the average \\ ash-
ington jury, and the local court
procedure. But he hes been forced
to retire, and tbe ring are jubilant.
Haw cheerfully they now carry
themselves may be judged from the
fact that Brady dines an assistant
secretary of the treasury and several
congressmen, and ex Senator Dorsey
blithely hies him away to his ranges
in New Mexico to grow up with his
cattle.
