PeuSiOntn0 Presidents.

The Commercial Adcerfiser has Gu
rious suggestion about the Presidents
salary. 1t delounces the mcanness of
the Representatives who introduced
bills to reduce the salary Of the Presi-
dent to its former amount, and adds,
1T were far wiser to pay the President
double the amount now appropriated,
so that he can save enough money to
live respectfully and without work to
the close of his days. Our readers
know pretty well that we are not in
favor OF that picayUne economy which
consists i'll forcing public officers,
upon whom is dcvolved the mainte-
nance of a certain state, 10 pinching
and parsimony If il can be shown
that the President needs more money
than he gets, he ought by all means to
have il without being forced to engage
in the business of quarrying sandstone
or any other business during his term
of office. AS matter of fact the
Pre- sidcnt's salary when it was pomi-
nally $25, coo was really made up by
allowances of one sort and another TO
more than $4,000 Possibly even
this larger sum was not, sufficient, and
if so the increase was 'riEht enough.
But the suggestion that the Presidents s
salary ought TO pc also pension is
quite new to us 'Our notion is that II
man docs not live "respectably, and
without work" without he is rich or
nperannuated. 1t tisindisputable that
the Presidents salary should support
him and his office during the term for
; w',ich it is paid. But that man
y o~cn President when he is forty
Quiz. he enabled to save enough in
i5ur years TO keep him respectfully
and without won'l" until he is eighty,
is very question able proposition. Ii
might proceed wi til propriety from q
man TO whom politics were merely Q
trade to live by, but it will only find
favor, we should. say, with those tc
whom the Presid eucy seemed merely
a trade to live by. differing from othel
trades in enabling man, by packing
conventions for year or so, anC
pocketing salary for four years, to be
come cumberelc of tie ground for thu
rest OF his natur al life.

The Alleged Bradley Bankruptcy Case.

The Alleged Bradley Bankruptcy Case
Discharge OF the Accused.
The famous bankruptcy case, both civil and
criminal, against Edison Bradley and W. Z. Brad
ley, has just been brought to close by the discon-
tinuance OF all legal proceedings On Thursday Of
last week Mr.. Ethan Allen counsel for the Bradeys
in both the civil and criminal proceedings, moved
before the Court for a trial in bankruptcy or for
dismissal Of the petition filed against his clients.
The result was that the prosecution hav-
ing. as 1T was claimed, no evidence at
hand upon which to base prosecu-
ton, an order OF the Court was entered
ing Tor an adjudication OF bankruptcy. The crimi-
nal charge against W. f. Bradley. OF having con-
preventing it coming into the hands OF his credit
ors, was called on lor further hearing before Com
missioner BetIs; at which all the parties were re-
ment, Messrs. Reed and Drake for the creditors,
and Mr.. Etoan Allen and Mr. Thomas s. More for
the government going on with their case or clos
ing 1t. The District Attorney objected TO closing
a delay was had from one O'Clock till four when
the District Attorney announced that in the ab-
sence OF any further testimony he closed his case
and submitted 1t on the evidence already In. Mr..
Allen then moved for the discharge OF his clients
w. E. Bradley ana Hugo Hoffman, the latter hav-
ing been held witness Tor the prosecution), ON
the ground that the evidence furnished no case
whatever against them; that there was not par
ticle OF evidence on which they could be held for
an hour. The Commissioner, however, reserved
his decision until yesterday-the defendants being
out on their own recOgniZanCes.
THE DEFENDANTS DISCHARGED.
Commissioner Belts rendering his decision
said
The defendant, W. r. Bradley, ia charged under the
forty fourth section OF the bankruptcy law with crmi-
nal act in having secre and concealed property be-
longing estate after the OF
ing Bankruptcy against him with intent to prevent
coming into the possession OF the assignee in bank
rupey. Since the criminal warrant issued and dur
ing the examination had under it the proceedings in
continuance entered
adjudication washad as to- the question of bankruptcy
The defendant therefore, has rot BEEN he be,
adjudicated bankrupt under those proceedings Nor
has any assgnee been appointed under them, nor can
there he UYier these circumstances satisfied that
the criminal prossntiQp cannot be maintained, and
accused must be discharges
w. f. Bradley was accordingly discharged, as
was also HUGO Holman.
