Joseph II. Bradley ST., to the rule laid upon
him by the Supreme Court. of the District Of
Columbia last week, requiring him to show
cause why his name should not be erased from

into the Court He holds that the action
Of Judge Fisher i'll his decision ordering his

based on a nisapprehension of facts that the

remove them at once to a warm place, but dip

But, besides the aridlty of the atmosphere, a
