Mr. Charles Bradlaugh still proposes to stand for
Northampton at every vacancy that occurs until he
is elected. He finds, however, thai the objections
to him are not confined to the Tories. and, among
others the Rev. Thomas Arnold, prominent Nom
Conformist preacher, has announced his intention
to oppose him on account of his religious views
This has led Mr.. Bradaugh to address to Mr. Arnold
one OF the strongest and most udicious letters this
fiery Radical has ever published. He does not at
tempt any defense of his religious opinions. He
does not even say what they are. He simply says
that no dissenters from the Established religion can
afford to oppose him in the interest of the Church of
the State. In the course of his letter occur sem
tences as significant rs these:

have known that inside the House OF Commons should
remember that that House ought to legislate for

He also makes the important announcement that
he has never used the political for the pro-
mitigation of his religious views, and never will
than with Mr. Bradlaugh, but there are few who
will deny that the latter has the advantage in the
present discussion.

There were few orations delivered on the Fourth
of this month which did not deal exclusively with
the glory behind lis, but made timely reference 70
the evils around and the duties which confront u.s.
The Hon. L. Bradford Prince, for instance, at Flush

next two years Let us see to it," he said, that
within that time every dollar of the nations PROM

dishonesty and corruption in high places shall be
rooted out and that those who have enriched them
selves by public plunder shall receive the punish

most important of all in this work of perfectng the

New-York tribune., 1874-07-17

The name of the plaintiff in the recent libel suit
in which Edward Welby Pugin was the defendant
was incorrectly given in the cable dispatch of
Wednesday as "John Roger" The person intended
is John Rogers Herbert, a distinguished painter
member of the Royal Academy, known by many
important works but especially by his frescOes in
the Palace of Westminster. The libel suit in ques-
tion marks the unhappy end of long friendship be-
tween two able men. We believe correct in
stating that Mr.. HeTbers conversion to Catholicism
a result of his long intimacy with the father of
Edward Welby Pugin, Augustus Welby Northmore
Pugn, and the warm friendship felt for Mr.. Her
bert by the distinguished architect was inherited
by his son, between whom and Mr. Herbert
close and almost brotherly union has long existed
Unhappily, with much of the talent of his father
Edward Welby Pugin has inherited too large share
of his eccentricty and of his peculiar temper, and
if the letters and the publications by which he has
provoked Mr.. Herbert to appeal to the law for de-
fense have not been considered sufficient to subject
the offender to any fine or penalty he has been
quilted upon plea that to a man Of his character
and position ought to be in the highest degree NOR
titying.

Rumors of further indictments of Charlck
and Gardner appear to be premature. They
are probable events, but still of the future.
New-York tribune., 1874-07-17

The system of justice in NewJersey is far
ahead of that which prevailed in Brooklyn
anterior to the removal of Britton. 1t appears
that Gilbert Raesbeck has been sent TO the
State Prison for two years, and that one
Bernard, a lawyer, has been arrested and is
20 be tried These are the men who, charged
with robbing the estate of one Gardner, were
arrested by Britton and released on their own
recognizance. The course of Britton Ill the
matter was made the basis of one of the
charges against him. The case has been tried
in jersey with result which shows that If
the whole truth could have been brought out
on the BIitton trial it might have convicted
linn also.

The Carlists seem to gain nothing by the
activity with which they resumed operations
after the fall Of Gen. Concha. They have
been severely repulsed from Puigcerda, are
unsuccessfully beSieging Cuenca, and are re-
norted to have adopted policy in their oper-
atjons against Bilbao which will be somewhat
embarrassing to their English and French
supporters. They anticipate some trouble
from the Spanish vessels on the Biscayan
coast during the coming campaign, and they
have concluded to silence their guns by the
simple announcement that they will shoot
Republican prisoner for every shell fired by

City Assessment Department.

Abou: three weeks ago Administrator
Sturcken and Mr. Henry Bonnabel. chief
clerk in the Department Of Assessments.
requested our reporte. to warn taxpayers
that unknown and unauthorized persons
had obtained money from citizens by repre-.
senting that on the payment Of specified
sum Of currency their assessment would be
reduced. BY some manipulation these
specuiators had become possessed Of the
fact that the assessment on many pieces of
city property had been lowered without
the knowledge Of the owner. and on that
information they operated. The REPUBLt.
CAN published tina: statement at the
time. and the little game was spoiled;
but it seems that the adventures
have broken out in new place. A person
said to be money broker called on the
representative OF a large corporation and
said that for and in consideration Of $1,000
he could have the association assessment
cut down materially. The broker. when
questioned abou: the method of iransacting
such business. stated that there was ring
who attended to these things. The gentle
man informed Administrator Sturckeu. and
nothing viii! be left uuGone to uueaysh this
rascality.
Now. Mr.. Sturcken desires al! parties
who have paid brokers or others for reduc.
ton ot assessments during the past two
years to report the facts at hi. office, City
Hall, in the hope that the guilty parties
may be exposed. 1t is expected tina: vic.

Journalism as a Profession.

A Washington special to the Louisville
Courier-Jo.rna! OF the fourth instant says:
The Treasury Department has Just had
occasion to decide the question whether
journalist has right to impor: free OF duty
books intended for his own use in his pro
fesslOn. The law of June 6, 1872, says that
''5ocks, professional, of persons arriving in
the United States shall be free of duty
but heretofore this clause of the law has
only been applied to books introduced by
lawyers. clergynep. physicians and arcni-
tects. a journalist recently arriving at one
OF the Atlantic ports imported a library
valued at something over $1,000. which he
cOntended should be admitted free of duty,
on the ground that journalism is profession
as we'll as law or medicine, and that these
books were imported bona fide for his
own professional use. The customhouse
officers decided against the right of the
journalist The decision of the department
reverses this and is that a reasonable con.
struction applied to the law regulating
such free admission should afford some
range for its application to the books of
professional journalists. The collector was
therefore requested to re-examine the
schedule of books representing the impor-
tation in question, under the general prln-
ciple that books relating to public policy
and pending national and general Gues-
tiOns, would appear to be included within
such reasonable limit. Books of poetry
and fiction would not be SO included. This
is the first time that any journalist has sue
cesstully contended for the principle recog-
nlZed by the department in this case.

Convenient House.

If any body in Danbury is looking out for
lodgings in Philadelphia, to be occupied
during the Centennial Exhibition, / would
advise him to hunt up the place mentioned
in the following advertisement, which cut
froura Philadelphia paper:
"1he upper part Of = house to let, contain
ing three rooms, cellar, kitchen, and a
back yard"
l recommend this place because I can
imagine nothing more interesting than
cellar on the third floor, and back yard
which can be reached only through the
fourth story window. l am going around to
see that house the next time l visit Phila-
delphia, SO that can grasp the phenome-
non better. l suppose they have the garret
about eighty feet below the front pavement.
The only explanation of the my ystery that
occurs to me is that somebody has turned
the house upside down and stood it upon
its root, while the back yard, having ad-
hered to the foundation wall, remains sus-
pended in the air. 1t ,s going to be very
entertaining to the hired girls who have to
hang out the wash on the under-side of
that yard. They had better practice for q
while on the flying trapeze.-Aaz Adler in

the printers in the several Offices Of the city

time for the first class three hours, second
class one hour and a half, and third class
one hour. The following gentlemen will
