MR. BRADFORDS REJECTION.

The rejection Of this gentlemans nomination for the
Judgeship by the Senate, good deal of specu
laton and disappointment. The speculation won't
amount to much and the disappointment will soon be
forgoltenfor where there appointment there Is
always a dozen disappointmenls the world over. But
II Is little Notifying for Pennsylvania to have IN
such Dref while two dsappontments, without any
appointment The President is reckoned as lucky a
man as Sylla was but Pennsylvania, unlike Valeria
seems not to have plucked a pinch of fur from the
Presidents Pitcher to secure any Of his good fortune
w e the luck that Mr. Bradford has lost will fall to
| the lot of somebody uckier-for the judgeship will
have to be bestowed on somebody at last.
HoUsE.-M. Barnards Amendment TO the Erche-
quer BW-Ihs gentleman has devoted considerable
attention to the subject of currency but his luck has
always Jagged very much in the of his labors. He
had magnificent scheme at the Extra Session, but
the House, if recollect right, would not entertain
it, though Hunts Merchants Magazine did. Mr..
Barnards financial schemes to use the Almanac
kers phrase not calculated for the meridian of the
capitol, any other region except Bddleville or
Andausia, or Owl Creek nor can the ship Constitu-
ton navigate by his nautical Almanac. But let US
wait and see what his "amendments is. We will not
pronounce judgment against it, till we have fully and
dispasslonately eyed it and scanned it, We have no
doubt it will, and the House and the Committee, by
convincing them at that the Bill reported would
be much better without the proposed amendment.
We therefore hope the amendment will for this cause
be duly considered. We have an exceedingly high
opinion of Mr. Barnards financial opinions consttu
onaly considered especially after he told the House.
at the Extra Session, if we heard Alright, during the
child birth of one of the scalities that any who
denied the constitutionalty of National Bank was
guilty of treason, matter to this import that Isl any
body who denied the legitimacy of the fscality, was
guilty of treason ! Surely could have doubt
about the cOnstit ulionay of Bank, after such
lemn asseveralion. And if he should tell the House
that any body who doubted the expediency and con-
stitutionality Of his amendment would be guilty of
treason, don't how they could get rid of voting
for it, unless they--ratted as usual.

CONGRESS.

In the House of Representatives, on Monday
morning, Mr. Mcclellan, of New York, on leave
presented a resolution calling on the Secretary
of War for information as to the amount of
compensation paid TO Gen. Scott as Indian
Commissioner in the year 1888. Mr.. Camp
bell, of Tennessee, offered an amendment call
ing for information of all extra allowances paid
to officers Of the army without limitation as to
time. After some debate the amendment was
rejected The resolution was then adopted
Mr.. Campbell moved reconsideration OF the
vote in order that he might so modify the reso-
luton as to extend it's scope in the manner pro-
posed in his amendment, but the House refused
TO reconsider. Mr. Bolts offered resolution, by
general consent calling upon the Department of
War for information to all extra allowances
which have been made to other officers Of the
army. Mr.. Campbell proposed as an amend
ment substitute directing the Secretary of
War to furnish to the House the names of such
officers of the War Department and of the
Army, including Paymasters and Governors
of Territories, who have received extra allow
ances from the Government since the Sd of
March, 1885, the times when, and the services
for which, such extra allowances were made !;
the amount paid to each, and the authority un-
der which such allowances were made. Mr..
Bolts suggested that the words C Sd of March,
1885," be stricken out, which being agreed to-,
he accepted it as modification, and the resolu-
tion as modified, was adopted.
The States and Territories were then called
upon for petitions, and they were, as usual, pre-
sented in great number and variety, commenc-
ing with the Territory of Iowa, and having
reached Ohio, Mr.. Giddings, among other abol-
ton petitions presented one for the dissolution
of the Union. The House refused to receive 1t,
by vote of 1l6 to "a. Mr.. Kennedy then offer
ed resolution that the presentation OF any pc
tition for the dissolution of the Union was an
insult to the House, and the member presenting
it was deserving of censure. This was objected
TO- as out of order. Mr. Pendleton, of Ohio,
rising in his turn, presented resolution of SIM
liar import but, previous to any action being
had on it, a motion for adjournment was made
and carried
In the Senate, letter was read from the Hon.
F. PIERCE, resigning his seat in that body; and
Mr.. Calhoun spoke for more than an hour in sup
port of the Veto power and in opposition to Mr..
Clay's Resolution upon that subject, which was
the order Of the day.

TLEMENS HATS

NOTICE.-The subscribers respectfully announce
Y to the gentlemen of Washington and its vicinity
that they purpose Thursday, Sd March ensuing,
Introduce the Spring Fashion for GentIemens Hats.
The unprecedented favor and popularity which their
last model obtained, both here and at the city of New
York. and the bestowed in the preparation of the
style about to be submitted induces the subscribers
believe that the "Spring Style" will meet with ia
vorable reception. The shape although differing from
the taStin its general appearance will commend itself
to the gentleman of taste for its elegance and
symmetrical proportions. 1t is worthy of especial re-
mark, that the form and arrangement of the brm no
less than that of the crown, will form distinctive
feature in the coming fashion the object aimed at
will be to impart graceful and unique character to
the hat, and at the time to adapt with appropr
aeness, the size and style Of the brn to the features
of the wearer
The subscribers would only add that the ",Spring
Style" will be introduced in this city by them stimuli
taneous with their establishment in Broadway, New
York and it is hoped that this decided advantage
will be appreciated generally by the fashionable com.,
munity. O. FISH g. CO.,

THE FLAG FLYING.

owe suspect Mr.. Tyler will find it much more
difficult thing than he is aware Of to establish third
party in this country
Such is the language Of the Richmond En-
quirer of the 26th February, and we desire Mr..
Richie distinctly to understand that no such
line of policy has been adopted, either by the
President or his friends. He knows, and they
know, that there can be but two parties in the
country-an Administration party, and an
Opposition party. And we say, without qua
LITIGATION or reserve, that, whether man shall
have heretofore called himself Wing or Demo
crat he can only be known now as allianced to
the Administration party, or the Opposition par
ty. Mr.. Benton is understood to be opposed to
the Administration, and so Is Mr.. Clay they
belong, therefore, to the same party-the OPP
position party-however much they may differ
between themselves upon points of policy.
We have thrown out the broad banner OF the
Administration, which has inscribed upon it
"REPUBLICANISM AND THE GOOD
OF THE WHOLE COUNTRY )" and who
soever shall rally TO that banner will be regarded
by us as brethren in politics, and will be treated
accordingly Let the extremes wage their war
unitedly, if they please; we say to them, and
to all men, that there can be but two parties In
the countrywide administration party and
the Opposition party. This alone has been
the condition of parties heretofore, and this alone
can be the condition of parties hereafter.

The rejection of Mr.. Bradford, whom the President
nominated for District Judge IN Philadelphia, has led
to much conversation 1t has been given out that he
incompetent" but it is added he was, "Tyler-
lsh, which say greater crime than the Sin
competency" Upon the presumption that Tylerism
will veto a man in the Senate, it is added now that
Mr. Tyson Commissary General at Philadelphia, will
be rejected too. There is objection to Mr. Tyson
that hear of on the ground of incompetency lie is
avowedy able and efficient officer, but he charge
that he is "Tylerish," is probably weI-founded and
if ii his rejection will, undoubtedly, lead to
many Interior results. IT, for example, no Tyler
get nomination through the Senate, the
end may be, Clay man can get nomination,
and perhaps for such ulrasm may probably lead
to such bad feeling that Clay may at last be re-
moved from office trust no utrasm any where will
lead to such results. trust the Senate have and will
continue to have better grounds for their veoes, than
that such such nominee for Office is friend of
the President Correspondent Of the Express.

suffer from the factious opposition to the President

present Executive, (who came into power
without a chain of presses devoted TO his inter
ests,) and thus be enabled, by FORCE, TO secure
the election Of his enemy, before the People had
time to appreciate his intentions, motives and
acts. They have been sadly disappointed.
Hood OF light Is breaking IN upon the country
from quarter which (from the affected con
tempt with which they had regarded it) they
overlooked, in their arrangements TO seal up her
metically from the People all the virtues of the
Administration And now that the President
has given, and aoiH give, portion of the public
printing and advertising to the Independent
Press. he is charged with treason, blood, and
thunder and we know not what all
Are the conductors of the Independent Press
all traitors, and the bankrupt editors of the
blanket sheets invariably pure, patriotic and
mmacuate2 Is it crime for an Independent
President to be friendly to- and to receive the
friendship of, the Independent Press? Is the
President to be denounced with every diabocal
term that vituperative demons can invent, merely
because he will not surrender his Office, his coun-
try, and himself into the hands of his 'open,
avowed, and unconditional enemes?" They
have not get become fully acquainted with the
character of John Tyler!
We do not wonder at their horror 1t is not
altogether affectation. We receive five hundred
exchange papers, and among them all, whether
from city or village, we defy any man to put his
finger on printed sheet in our sanctum, (even
if it comes from the most extreme western wild }
that has not its columns filled with extracts from
these Independent papers. The penny papers
not only have hundred fold more readers in
the cities, but they WELD hundred fold more
influence IN the country, than their proud, arts
tocratic enemies!
The day is not distant when the Independent
Press will accomplish the DOWNFALL of the
ponderous polluted political sheets, that are now
waging relentless war against true patriotism.
The Independent Press combines more talent
and honesty than any other in the great cities.
We need not defend them. Nor is it necessary
for us to defend the President against this foul
charge Of conspiracy, &c. &C." They are
battling for themselves, and in their own
vndicaion the President is sufficiently acqut-
ted.

THE LAST ISLANDER.

The recent charge of the Courier and En-
quirer, a paper well known in the history Of
Banks, that the President has made overtures to
the Independent Press to support HIM on con-
dton Of receiving the public patronage, is near
akin to SANDER which has just received the
highest condemnation of the whole nation and
so papably absurd, that it seems like waste of
time and paper to give it even passing notice.
A word or two, however, on the reasonableness
ofthe charge, may not be amiss.
The Independent or penny-press, of this
country, is generally neutral in its character; it
advocates the best interests of society in gene
raj; heartily approves what is right, and fear
essy condemns what is wrong To this course
may be attributed its unprecedented success !;
as may be perceived in the fact that, in some
few instances, where proprietors have ac
lively engaged in the political arena, and the
neutrality of their press assumed question
able shape, the circulation of the paper is quite
limited.
With few exceptions, however, the circua-
ton of each of the penny papers may be com
puted at from fifteen to fifty thousand CO.
pies per day, besides which, their columns at
test that they have scarcely room for their ad-
vertising patronage; and their achole business
is conducted on the cash principle. Again
The Independent press has found it perfectly
consistent to approve of the general course pur-
sued by an Independent President, from the
dap ofhis accession TO the Presidential Chair;
and that it was perfectly compatible with the
views and interests of the people that he should
be sustained in his efforts to destroy the ultra
isms of party, and scatter all the elements OF
discord which had so long afflicted the nation.
Can it be believed, then, that with the favor
