ern senator's, in executive session, that tht
President was willing to withdraw the name
of Mr.. Bradley as Associate Justice II hi
was not acceptable in the South. 1t wal
principally on this representation that the
vote to postpone action in his case until the
22d instant was carried. Several gentle
men called upon President Grant to-day
and stated what had occurred IN the
Senate. He replied that they must have
misunderstood him; that he certainly
intended to leave no such impression
on the minds of these gentlemen
What he meant to convey to them was that
if the Senate passed the bill reported by
the Judiciary Committee requiring the AS
sociate Justice to reside in the district
where the court was held he would carry
out the law and appoint some person re-
siding in the district. In that event Mr..
Bradley's name would have to be with
