MIR. BRADLEY'S INTERVIEWS
WITH MARY HARRIS-A Gu
RIOlS STUDY OF INSANITY

Upon our first page to-day will be found
the narrative of JosEPH II. BRADLEY's inter.
views with his client, MARY Hams, now on
trial for the murder of ADoNIRAM J. Bun.
RoUGus. Whatever weight it may have in
determining the question of the insanity OF
the accused, it will bo found to possess an
absorbing interest for all readers.
This plain story of a veteran member of
the bar, who with patience and perseverance
studied day by day tho mental condition of
a client that had committed ono of the most
extraordinary homicides of modern timos
will be found more pathetic than all the over
wrought pathos of writers of sentimental fc-
ton. 1t will challenge the attention of all
students Of criminal jurisprudence, as well
as of the general public. We have printed
it from tho original manuscript, and as
Mr.. BRADLEY has given tho substance Of
this marvcllously interesting story in his
testimony before the court, and as tho jury
men are not allowed to read any newspapers,
we cannot be charged with attempting to use
any undue influence on the case by thus
presenting it to tho public.

SECOND EDITION
FOUR O'CLOCK, H. Nj I.
CONFEDERATE COTTON ABAN-
DONED by GEN. CANRY.

Not long since Gen. CANBY assumed to
interfere with the civil action Of the Presi-
dent and Secretary Of the Treasury in their
efforts to get cotton out from tho thon rebel
lious States. As soon ns this was known,
Gen. GRANT ordered CANBY not to interfere
in military point of view with the opera
tions and execution of the trade regulations;
in other words, not to do anything to prevent
the getting out of cotton by any person hay
ing authority to do so. Gen. CASBY, for
reasons best known to himself, not only ceased
his unnecessary and unauthorized interfer-
ence, but withdrew all military protection
over cotton known to have belonged to the
confederate government, but which had be-
come tho rightful property of tho United
States, leaving it to be seized by rebels or
any othor persons who chose to appropriate
1t to their own use.
This action of Gen. CANDY in abandoning
such valuable property and leaving 1t to be
indiscriminately seized and held, has given
great dissatisfaction to those who have a
right to complain.
Gen. GRANT, in view Of all the facts, has
ordered Gen. CANDY to change his tactics
and give protection to loyal holders Of cotton,
and to see to II that confiscated cotton be
held for the benefit Of the Government.
