MOItE OKItUYMAKDUtNO. 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.

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.
