lly reason of the failure of tho Thlr
ty-tirst Geucral -Assemby to ve.illstnct
tho Stnto into Senatorial districts, under
the census of 1880, that duty devolved
under tho constitution, upon tho Gov
ernor, Attorney-General and Secretary
of State, who met on Saturday and
Monday, April 23d and 25th, and pet
formed the work with the following re
suit :
First District. Tho counties of Ateltl
son, Holt and Nodaway, population
69,005.
Second District. Duchanan and An
drew, 00,142.
Numerous changes wcro alio made
in other districts, but the above two are
tho only ones in which the readers of
The County Pai'eu are specially niter
cstcd. It will bo seen that these two
districts were gerrymandered In the in
terest of Democracy by taking the
strongly Republican county of Andrew
from the First District, thereby hopln
to mako tho district Democratic, and
placing that comity with the strongly
Democratic county of Duchanan where
Its Republican majority will bo swal
lowed up and lost.
Thu Republicans of Andrew, as well
as those of all the othur counties of thu
old First District, will naturally feel in
'dignaut at this outrage; but they are
powerless to prevent it and can only
treasure it up In their remembrance as
lino more of 'tho sins of Democracy.

IIu was not nmbltlous to bo a Cabinet
ofllecr. Ho would be sntisflecd with
tho humble place of First or Second
Assistant Postmaster-Gicticrnl. Per-
haps tho fact of Dorscy's inclination, if
it was n fact, or the rumor of it, if it
was nothing more, may bo explained
by recent revolutions of tho Postollleo
Department. Tho Investigation which
have been going on under Postmaster-
General dames show that with tho aid
of Brady, a ring of politicians and plun
derers has stolen some three millions of
'dollars from tho United States by
means of raised "star route" contracts.
The method of this partlbtilar fraud
which, morally, is not different from
the method of "raising" n cheek or a
bank note is simple enough. For
example, a contract for carrying a
weekly mall between tho town of A
and tho town uf R would bo awarded
for a thousand dollars to the lowest
bidder. Presently a sham petition
would be presented to tho department
for the Increase of tho service, although
there had been no increase in the num
ber of letters to bo carried. There
upon ltrady, under a strained authority
of law, or under authority which never
should have been givun, would make a
contract with one of his favorites, and
without proposals or bids, for doln
the unecuMurly increased work for ten
thousand dollars; and the ring would
divide tho money. This fraud was
familiar, or ought to have been familiar,
to tho lato Congress, which refused to
break up the swiudlu and exposo the
swindlers. It was familiar or ought to
have been familiar to tho superior
officers of llnuly who kept him in tho
place ot Second Assistant Postmaster
General long after attention had been
directed to his Irregular proceedings
proceedings so Irregular as to raise a
presumption ot fraud. "The amount
known to have been oocketod by the
Stephen W. Dorsey gang," says the
New York Times, "in excess of the
amount called for by their original bids
is not less in round numbers than
9412,000. What percentage of this was
transferred to ltrady as his share of
the spoils only Stephen W. Dorsey and
Ids partners can tell.' Tho ex-Senator
namu does not appear upon the records
of the fraud, but the names of his
brother J. W. Dorsey, his brother-in-
law J. M. Peck and his partner J. R,
Miner do appear thero . It is further
distinctly charged that the ox-Sonator
suareu in tuo mumicr. 1 Here are
obvious reasons why S. W. Dorsev
might bo willing to forego higher
honors and take a subordinate place in
tho Postoillco Department. Once there
ho might hope to continue the prollta,
bio nctivltllsof Dnuly, and he nilsrht
hopu to hldu the ovidenco of fraud
already consummated. Happily he
did not get tho place, and happily at
