PFOScFTpeton.-.The National Intohgenccr OF the
10th inst sAys-" lie confirmed, beyond doubt, that
ABRARAM BRADLEY has been removed from the Of
fee Of Assistant Postmaster General, and that CHAs
K. GARDNER, Cor some years past Clerk Ia the Gen.
eral Post Office, has been appointed In his stead. We
do not believe that there 10 single Individual In the
United States possessed ofcOmmon Nnd ordina.
nv Information, aud unintcresIed In the event. who
will hear Of this "rci0rm" without regret OF tho
nersoMnl character Of the removed officer no man 10
bosc enough to lisp syllable to the prejudice. Ills
pnhc services have been coevNl with the Post Office
establishment, which 10 has been inatrumena in an
eminent degree, In building up to lie present magn

and public utility. Already public confidence In the
Pos, Office has been, OS we predicted Il would be-
vreoy diminished by lie being nude Gmere party en-

ina integrity aud prompt a0d dligent discharge Of
4lsy were any guarantee for such continuance. But
che Asbesom Of reform" has been put IN requsoa-
aud he among others must be swept from office. We
should DO glad 70 have our aged friends greet him a.
gain as a fellow townsmNn; we have understood how
ever, that f he removed from Washington, he would
probably take up his residence IN New.IIaven.
We have not yet learnt whether II 10 the intention
Of the President, or Mr.. Barry or Duff Green to re.
move Dr.. Phnehas Bradley the other assistant post
mastcr general. Probably they will wait until they
