Another Public DefalcatiOn in New York--Dr
Bradford. late Public Administrator. Confesses
10 n Deficit of $4,000 $4,000.
From the New York Evening Post, 3Oth. ]

Rumors have prevailed in political circles for three
or four days past that deficit had been discovered
in the accounts of DR.. Bradford, the Public Admin
istrator, and yesterday afternoon it was announced
that he had been removed and Murray Hoffman
appointed in his place
The Office OF Public Administrator is a bureau in
the Law Department OF the city, and the appoint
mcnt is lodged by the charter in the hands of the
corporation counsel.
No suspicion whatever was entertained by Mr..
Develn that there any irTcgularity in the ac-
counts of his subordinate until about two weeks
since when paragraph in a weekly paper, inSinu-
atlng that there something wrong IN the Office,
attracted his notice He at once called upon DIR.
Bradford in reference To it, and was met with such
indignant denias of its truth and such an1ngeniuus
exhibition of figures to sustain the denial that he at
once set the story down as the sandcrOuS invention
of personal or political enemy. But as the end of
DR.. Bradford's official term approached, and the
hope of making good the deficiency through any
lucky speculation faded away, he lost nerve, and on
Wednesday of this week confessed the transactions
to their whole extent. Mr. 'Develin at once removed
him. and appointed eX-Judge Hoffman in his place.
This morning the following communication from
Dr. Bradford was sent To the Presidents OF the Boards
of Aldermen and COuncilmcn respectively:
80 the Common Couaca IF the Ciiyqf New York:
e. GENTLEMEN-I regret to inform you that the an
nual report of the Public Administrator for the year
1853 will show deficit of between thrty-fve and
has been improperly used by me while holding that
Office, and now lost in stock speculatons in Wall
street.
1t is due to the persons employed in the Office to
say that they are entirely innocent of any knowledge
OF the Misrepresentation OF the funds of the Office
the deiacation was entirely from the use of secur
ties belonging to various estates which Were dcpO-
sitcd in the safe in the Office, and taken thcrefrOm
by me aud hypothecated as margins on stock opera
tons.
No person but myself knew that | improperly
became possessed of the securities so used and no
living creature has directly or indirectly derived any
pecuniary or other advantage from my improper use
of the securities.
have assigned all my property and effects to-
geher with the property of my wife, to trustee in
trust; first to pay my bondsmen any monies which
they may be obliged to pay by reason of becoming
my bOndsmen; second, the balance to he paid TO
the city of New York toward lquidating the def
cheney lover the amount OF my official bOnd) which
will appear upon the settlement of my accounts.
Very respectfully, your obedent servant,
"R, II, BRADFORD,
Late Public Administrator

RICHMOND WING.
TUESDAY MORNING.........JAN. ,, 1866.
Another Caucus on the Re-Assembling Of
Congress
ton correspondent of a Radical

A Washington correspondent Of Radical
newspaper says:
81 have reason TO know that when Congress re-
assemblies an EFFORT will be made by the Union men,
who are determined % obtain all proper guarantees
before the Southern States are admitted, 20 define
the position OF the party IN caucus on the whole
subject of reconstruction.
The instinct Of Self-preservation will no
doubt prompt the Republican party TO make
vigorous efforts to reconcile differences among
its several factions, and to maintain its present
organization. Disruption will not be effected
without u trial OF all expedieutS 10 avert it,
We may expect grand caucus on the re-a>-
sembliug Of Congress, aud before any impor-
tant action shall be taken i'm either House.
The Christmas holidays, which separated the
members of Congress and prevented an inter-
change Of opinions among them, gave them the
opportunity, in majority Of instances, OF re-
turning to their homes and OF comforting with
their constituencies. Many will return To
Washington under new ideas, influences and
Inspirations \ comparison Of views will be
made in caucus, and if division is To occur
between the two wings, it will be initiated in
caucus. The quarrel and the split will be be-
gun there-but the grand explosion-the public
naniieStation-will be in the two Houses.
The efforts made by the Radical leaders, be
fore the adjournment, TO induce the President
to pause in his restoration policy, experienced
a signal failure. lie went on steadily with the
good work, withdrew Provisional Governors,
recognized elected Governors, and announced
10 the country through his Secretary of State,
the restoration OF those Southern States that
have adopted the Constitutional amendment
and the rumor now comes to us that at the
meeting Of Congress he will send in a special
message in regard to the admission OF the
Southern members. When Congress rc-aS-
sembles il will have to face these recent events.
The knot was tied by the President during the
recess. Will they let it stand, OF proceed to
unite it The time for action is taStapproach-
ing, and the public will not long be kept in

sudden Death of Man and Wife.
Correspondence of the Boston Journal
WORCESTER. Mass. December %. 1S6

WORCESTER, MASS, December % 1865.
The people in and around Worcester have been
intensely excited to-day at the sudden and mystic
riou, decease of Artemus Ward and his wife, who
were found dead in their house at an early hour this
morning. Mr.. Ward having been an old resident OF
Worcester, living here most OF the time during the
mast twenty wears and being well known to present
and past residents the untimely end of himself and
wife has caused more than ordinary excitement
From the fact that tine two deceased had lived I'M
happily together there have been current reports that
Mr.. Ward was victim of murder by poison, and
that his wife committed the crime and sought to
cape the disgrace of trial for murderby destroying
her own life. This was the theory first grasped by
the public when the mysterious deaths OF the untor-
tunate man and wife were announced this morning.
The physicians, however, who were called TO eX-
anime the bodies, are inclined to believe that the
ras from a defective coal stove in the house which
they occupied was the immediate and only cause of
daat

THE SENTENCE OF KrrcnrM.-satnrda&e


last ON which Recorder Hoffman, the Mayor elect,
occupies his seat on the bench, Edward h. kcchum
was anaigned for sentence. The prisoner entered
the courtroom the opening of the court at half
past eleven o'clock this morning, III charge of Off
Gers, and he was accompanied by his father, Morris
kctchum, and by two or three OF his brothers. His
counsel eX-Judge Allen and the counsel of the firm
of Ketchum n Co., and of their asSgnecs were also
present. Young Ketchum's face wa. very pale, and
there were dark circles around his eyes which APP
peared To be somewhat bOodshOt. The muscles Of
his face were firm, however, and he exhibited no
trepidatiGn Though the genesal expression Of his
features showed that he endured much mental SUI
tering.
The father of the prisoner took his seat beside him
in the courtroom. His grief was mamfeStly intense;
his features were perfectly rigid. The younger sous
of Morris Ketchum were visbly affected.
The courtroom was crowded by spectators, inclu-
ding few ladies.
\ motion was made by Ketchums counsel for
poStponement OF the sentence, but the motion WAS
denied, and the prisoner was then sentenced to the
penitentary for four years and six months.
