An investigation of Dorsey's account at Middlexon's banlc shows that no such

check os Eerdell swore had been given to Congressman Bel ford for the sum ol $2,000,in 1879, had over been paid or charged to tho Dorsey account. A comparative statement, furnished by the contract office of the Post Of lice Department shows that for Star Rouic service awarded for 1883 there was a decrease in the cost of 25,572 over 1882 and a decrease in transportatin of 1,113,343 miles from 1882. The rate per mile paid in 1882 was 5 1. cents, while in 1383 it was 5,06 cents.
