m. JUSTICE BRADIHY.

In quite lengthy biogrsphicalsk etcl
of Hon. Joseph P. Bradley, lately ap-
pointed and confirmed to the SUPREME
Bench, Published BY the Washington
Chronicle of the oath ult., We clip tn,
following paragraphs relating to Lis
history and personal appearance
Hon. Joseph p. Bradley, the new Associate
Justice of the United States Supreme Court
was sworn in yesterday morning BY the clerk
Mr.. Middleton, and took his seat on the left
of Judge Field.
Joseph P. Bradley, L. L. D.. has long been
a leading member of the New Jersey bar,
and one of the most clear and eminent legal
unusually we'll informed in classical litera-
ture and natural science. He was born in
Berne, Albany county, N. Y, March IA,
1918. His paternal ancestors came from
England with Governor Eaton in 1888, and
settled in New Haven. His great-grand-
father vas in the Revolutionary war, and his
grandfather in the war of 1872, both of
whom lived to great age. His family emf
grated from Fairfield county, Conn, to Berne
in 1871. His mother was a Gardiner, and
descended from the GARDENERS and Howlands
of Rhode Island. He was the oldest of the
children, and rought up on his fathers farm,
on the Heidelberg Hills, in sight of the
Catskills, and with very few advantages of
schools or other means of education, except
that given by plain country life. He attended
the country school from the age of five to
fourteen about three or four months a year.
His earlier years we're marked b. a taste for
reading, and 4 proclivity for mathematical
and logical studies, but was obliged to labor
on the farm from early boyhood.
For the past thirty years he has been la
boriously engaged in the various duties of
his most laborious of professions, and en-
gagged in many of the important causes which
have been, during that period, contested in
the New Jersey courts and the United States
courts Of his district. In October, 1864, he
married the youngest daughter of the late
Chief Justice Hornblower, of
New Jersey, and is the brother-in-law OF
Hon. L. B. Woodruff, the lately appointed
Circuit Judge Of New York. Mr.. Bradley is
Of middle height, equally proportioned, and
is still hale and active. His head is large,
With = face full of intellectual expression.
The brow high and broad. the eyes are light
md penenetrating, and the mouth shows the
utmost resolution of purpose, while calm
rests upon the whole counte
rance. His manners are polite and cordial
With all persons, and in social life there is
10 man who has more fascinating qualities, |
u furnishes better example Of exact virtue
n the private walks Of life.

q. 8. DIsrRIcr CoURr-A decision
has been rendered in the matter, in
bankruptcy. Of certain creditors OF Geo.
Elder, bankrupt, against Henry Van
sickle, assignee and creditor of the es.
tate. Vansickle filed claim of about
$l7, 900 against the estate, based upon
number of notes given to him By the
bankrupt at various times since 1866.
A dividend of seven per cent. was de-
ciared by the Register, but before the
time for the distribution arrived, Van
sickle was cited before the District
Court, on the petition Of two or three
creditors of the estate, to show cause
Why his claim should not be rejected
and set aside-the ground Of the action
being that the notes were given without
adequate consideration and that the
claim was therefore fraudulent and void
under the Federal Bankrupt law. The
matter was heard by Judge Hillyer, and
the trial lasted several days. The case
was of considerable importance, involy-
ing as it did, several interesting points
under the Bankrupt Act new to the
practice of the Federal Courts of this
State, and attracted unusual attention.
Messrs. Williams and Deal appeared for
and Judge Mesick for the
creditors. The judgment of the Court,
accompanied BY 40 ably written opinion.
which We shall probably publish to-
morrow or the next day following, was
sled yesterday. The entire claim of
vansickle has been rejected. and the
costs of the proceedings taxed against
him. Of the merits Of this case We
know but little, but shah publish the
opinion - . natter 81 Interest 10 read

ANr1.RApIcALIsM.

The Louisville Courier-J ournal, which
has enjoyed long political repose, has
at length started from its slumbers,
shaken off its somnolency, and presents
a few facts for the consideration Of the
American people, and especially of those
who entertain dreams and Authorizations
about third parties. A strong feature in
this excellent and sage counsel, is that
il comes from one who no great while
AGO held the ribbons of the Republican
Banner, and is thought to still have some
Influence with the direction of that pa
DER. We call the attention Of the Ban
ner to what is said of the Democratic
party in this extract, which we publish
for the benefit of such boilers and indie
pendents, as it was intended to COM
prehend:
Every Democrat, every Conservative,
all persons opposed to Radicalism should
cast their votes for the nominees OF the
Democratic party. This is duty they
owe to their faith and country. 1t is ev.-
ident that few more years OF Radical
rule will prove disastrous to every, sec
ton and every interest. Our only hope
now is that the Democratic party will
come into power. We are told by the
Democratic Congressman, in their adj
dress to the American people, that If we
are true to ourselves and the Democratic
party we will have majority in the
lower House of the next Congress, and
in two years more will control the Senate
Is not such a contamination worth a
struggle? Is there any sacrifice that we
should not make to attain such desir-
able end?
The people of the North, East, and
West are rallying to the Democratic
standard. New York has rolled up ST.
600 as Democratic majority, and she
expects the Kentucky Democracy to
show no signs of fatering now. If any
bolter Independent, or Radical candi-
date should be elected, it would be
flashed over the wires on Monday night
of August the LIST to all of the Radical
strongholds that the nominees of the
Democratic party had been defeated. A
bolter or Independent now is worse than
Radical. Let the people beware of
them, and shun them as they would a
pestilence.

The Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore Gazette states he has the
very best authority for saying that Gen.
Grant has so far fallen short of the eS.
pectations. of his party that he will be
utterly repudiated at the Radical Conven-
ton in 1872" Everywhere the Radicals
are confessing that Grant is failure.
He would have failed in the army just as
he has in the Presidential Office, but for
the fact that he had abe Generals and a
superabundanee Of men to carry him
through. This was the opinion of q
great many then, and it has gained
overwhelming force since.
