Judge Brasliey's Confirmation.
The certificates of the Senate's confrma
ton of Judge Bradley as Associate Justice
of the Supreme Court were received by the
President to-day an hour after it was voted
upon in the Senate.
The southern senators who were DESTROYS
that Judge Bradley's nomination should
be withdrawn to give way to the nomina-
ton of Judge from the fifth or southern
circuit failed to present to the President
name az acceptable as that of Judge Brad
ley, and therefore the latter was confirmed
in executive session to-day with very little
opposition, the vote standing 46 to- 8.
The Reported Unpleasantness be.
tween Messrs. Boutwell, and Delano.
Your correspondent is authorized to say
that the reported differences between Sc
cretary Boutwell, and Commissioner De-
lano, and that the latter intends to resign,
are wholly untrue. The men that have
been discharged from the Internal Revenue
Bureau were not discharged because they
favored Mr.. Boutwell, as against Mr.. De-
lano, but because they were bad men, and
discovered to he partners in schemes and
jobs 80 defraud the Government.
PIatt's Resolution.
Mr.. Platt again to-day sought to get up
his resolution to overhaul Virginia and
again reconstruct her, but failed. So far
as present indications can be relied upon,
MIR. Platt's project will receive but little
favor.
The Tice Metre.
That gigantic Job the Tice metre was
again before the House this evening.
When the owners of the metre come to q
halt in the Internal Revenue Department,
and fail to compel the adoption of the
metre for the use of distilleries, they fly to
the House to lobby through resolution
enforcing the adoption OF the metre nolens
rolens.
Recent investigations in the Revenue De-
partment show that this metre is an utter
failnre-is no security against frauds, and
that the owners have already received for
their machine nearly two millions of dol
lars. This is one OF the jobs in which GER
tain clerks in the Internal Revenue Bureau
were partners, the knowledge of which
coming to the Commissioner caused him to
dismiss these enterprising subordinates.
VIII Resign.
Mr.. Parnell, deputy commissioner Of in
tcrnal revenue, will resign in few days,
and Messrs. Sherman and Cox, chiefs of
division in the bureau, are severally named
as successors to Parnell.
Land Subsidies.
The land subsidy lobbyists are terribly
downcast tonight. - Their occupation 3
gone" the House having declared this
afternoon that the policy of granting sub
sides of land to railroad companies is
wrong, and that the lands should be re-
served for sale to actual settlers for home
stead purposes.
\ number OF these lobbyists, with pie
thoric purses, engaged suites of rooms,
"
cigars are in abrnda nee to attract members
Of Congress and influence their votes.
These sllmptuous quarters will be ahan-
doned, and the lobbyists will take to their
homes if the House shah stand firm to its
resolution.
