Judge Fisher, interruptlng-Crier,a adjourn
the court.
Mr.. Mallcy (the crier) court Is now
adjourned.
Mr.. Bradley-Well, then, | will say now---
Judge Fisher (fising to leave the bench) =
You can say what you please, sir, and make
speech to the crowd, II you like.
Mr.. Bradley-You have no authority to
dismiss me from the bar. That must DO the
Court.
Judge Fisher said--Yery well, Mr.. Brad
ley, you can make the proper appeal He
then LEFT the room, followed by a large crowd
of persons.
Immediately after leaving tho courtroom,
Judge Fisher proceeded to the street and en-
tered a car for the purpose of proceeding up
town. He was followed closely by Mr.. Brad
ley, who entered the car, and stepping up 20
Judge Fisher, handed him note.
Judge Fisher took the note, rose TO his
feet, opened it, and began to read it, and Mr.
Bradley turned and left tho car, around
which an excited crowd had gathered. 1t
is understood that the note was a challenge.
Several policemen sprang into the car, and
officer McHenry stepped TO the side OF Mr.
Bradley, and kept in that position while he
remained in the car.
Leaving the car, Mr.. Bradley passed through
the crowd and entered his office, and was
followed by several friends belonging to the
bar.
In the meantime Judge Fisher resumed
his seat III the car, and continued his perusal
of the note, while the car moved of. A
number OF his personal friends had entered
tue cur, and a great deal Of apprehension
was manifested of personal encounter be-
tween the Judge and the deposed lawyer.
The order of Judge Fisher dismissing Mr.
Bradley has created the most intense excite
ment among all classes, nut the police are
preserving order. The members Of the bar
generally are bitter in their denunciations O
the Judge, and have called meeting TO b.
held on Monday morning. They seem tC
make common cause against the Judge, who
they openly declare, has disgraced hinsel
by using his official power to resent per
sonal assault. Surratt was remanded to the
custody of the marshal and returned to Jail

POOR ANDY.

The Albany Evening Journal in alluding
to the recent struggle of the drunkard who
fills the char of the late President LINCOLN,
to obtain the power and influence of the
War office, and dispense it in the interest Of
treason and traitors thus speaks =
" Andrew johnson, in his mad thirst for
power has no. only sacrificed the respect OF
the Party by which he was elected, but has
utterly failed to secure that Of the Party to
which he carried his miserable wares for
sale. Despsod by Republicans ignored by
Democrats, rejected by the North and hated
by the South, he furnishes in his piliable fate
living example OF that penalty which trea-
son always incurs.
"There is no more signal illustration Of
this truth than the newspaper comments
which have been made upon the Stanton
imbroglio. BY Republican journals, the re'
fusal OF the War Secretary TO resign his
Office is universally applauded, and the pow.
er of the President to remove him is doubt
ed By Democratic newspapers, 1t IS con
tended that the President has placed himself
in most humiliating attitude, and that being
snubbed by the indomtable Stanton, he has
not moral courage to resent the Insult. Thus
the New York World assumes that johnson
originally intended to remove Sheridan, but
was deferred by the popular expressions Oh
the subject. Feeling it necessary to dc
something with an appearance of decision
he sought controversy with the Secretary
but being detiantly met at the outset, hat
halted in his course, and-consistently will
his always vacillating and unreliable temper
declines to take the final step. The Argn
is no more complimentary. 1t says tina
Stanton has "palsied the Executive" " ant
speaks of the resolution not to hold oificia
intercourse with him, as "the childish de

HOsTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS was
struggling into notice against the prejudices
which everything new, however excellent, 70
doomed to encounter.
TO-DAY
it stands at the head of all the tonic and Alternative
preparations in existence. Its celebrity has evo-
ked many limitations but NO RIVALS. Physi.
clans pronounce it the ONLY SAFE STIMU-
LIANT that has ever been introduced into the
sick chamber. In the Hospitals Of the Army and
Navy the surgeons find it the very best tonic for
convalesccnts and report it as invaluable for sus
tanning the vigor of troops on the march, as O
remedy for scurvy and all scorbutic affections,
and as the only specific for seasickness Califor-
mia and Australia have emphatically endorsed It
as the MINERS MEDICINE par excellence and in
Spanish America and all the tropical climates, It
is considered the only reliable antidote to epdem-
ic fever.
There is no mystery about the causes of its
success. It is the only stomachic and Alternative
in which are combined the grand requisites of
mild, pure, and unvitated vegetable stimulant,
with the finest selection of tonic, anGi-blllious,
anti-scorbutic, aperient, and depurative herbs,
plants, roots, and barks that have ever been In
termixed in medicinal preparation.
1t is also proper to state that the Bitters are
sold exclusively in glass, and never, under any
circumstances, by the gallon or the barrel Inn
posters and imitators are abroad, and the only
safeguard the public has against them Is to see
that the Bitters they buy they bear the engraved
label and note Of haLd of Messrs. Hostetter q
Smith, and the Government stamp over the cork,
of the bottle.
