d- "WAsHiNGToN, Sept. 90, 1899.
Il would be difficult to convey to you any sufficient
idea of the agitation into which this community has
been thrown by the various rumors which are now
in circulation. That the whole influence of the fed
rra government viii be confronted, and brought sys
fematcaly to bear upon the next election every day
renders more certain.
The removal of Mr.. Bradley is of ITSELF calculated
to alarm the people, but the manner of it must in
Crease that apprehension ten fod.-When Mr.. Brad
icy left the Office, being DESTROYS that the funds i'm his
should not be handed to his
until they had been counted, he requested Mr.. Barry
60 keep the key of the iron chest which handed
10 him, in his own possession, until opportunity
was given to tell the amount. II seems that Mr..
Barry promised to do so, but immediately afterwards
handed the key Mr.. Gardiner the successor of
Mr.. Bradley, who, consequently, had access to the
money, and, had the reputation of Mr.. Bradley from
that moment in his power. When this made
known to Mr. Bradley, he is said to have declined ia
king any further trouble concerning the funds. His
brother Dr. Bradley, reported to have felt indg
rant at this treatment which To have origina-
ted in degree to inurc Mr.. Bradley, that he instant
ly addressed letter to Dir. Barry, which, under
courteous and gentlemany phraseology conveyed n
sharp reflection upon the course which had been
pursued by Mr.. Barry, and concluded with decara-
ton in substance, that he should resign unless his
brother had an instant opportunity to place his
character beyond the reach of misrepresentation
and to enable him to do this, it was demanded
that the Post Master General should assist him
with clerks to 90 through his accounts from
department. 1t seems, as yet, no answer has been
given to this letter, which has probably placed the
post master general In dilemma, the resignation
of DIR. Bradley would throw the department into
confusion not easily to be removed. In order es-
tablish perfect system of secrecy, perhaps of moth
ing worse, in the department. considerable removals
nTe said to be determined on This being the
Tor making the contracts these removals will proba-
bly, be postponed until all the new contracts are made
nnd the bonds of the contractors registered and then
will follow the bosom of prescription, and the newly
Created bureaus will be swept out.
Mr. Ingham, Mr.. Van Buren, and Mr.. Branch, do
not seem to enjoy large portion of the confidence
Of General Jackson, Mr.. Eaton and Mr. Barry; and
believe Mr. Berrien Is not terms of very intimate
intercourse with the President, but that their assoca-
ton is prompted and limited by official necessity. But
Mr.. Ingham and Mr.. Van Buren, are doubtless intent
and anxious in the pursuit Of their separate Objects
having their eyes fixed upon the contingencies of the
year 1892. As to Mr.. Branch, his mind seems to
grosp nothing beyond the taste of abrdging the al
lowances of the officers of the profession which is
entrusted to his charges and when he has succeeded
in passing account, in striking off few dollars
from poor Lieutenant, or III gaming the best OF
bargain with of his pursers, believe he enjoys
ell that perfection Of happiness Of which his nature is
capable.
