Some Startling Facts.

In the course of the regular business of Congress, the Committee on Expenditures in the Department of Justice have found it necessary to investigate the expenses and methods of the Star Route prosecutions. Incidentally they have stumbled on some startling facts. President Garfield’s Republican Attorney General told them that he left the Cabinet, after Garfield’s murder, because President Arthur and his advisers were in sympathy with the public robbers, and no one desirous of an honest prosecution could receive any moral support from the administration.
