The removal of Abraham Bradley is likely to turn
out as bad job for the Post Office as the worst enc
my oil the Administration could wish. There has ss
yet been no attempt at accounting for it the Wash
ington papers We give the following from the Ma
tional Journal to show how readily some Editors can
make out case to suit their purposes:

brady rom the responsible station has so on

circulated the report that he has oa rs while 10
