Another Charge Against BrisfOw Related,
A statement is published to the effect that
Secretary Bristow has suspended the proceed
lngs against John Buckner, VINO was collector
of internal reueDua at Louisville and defaulted
to the extent of 100000, because Mr.. Miles,
foster father of Mr. Bristow, is on the bond of
the defaulter Upon this subject the treasury
records show that James +. Buckner has been
for several years past collector of internal rev.
enue for the 9th district of Kentucky. He is
not a defaulter for 100000 or any other sum,
but during last summer his then cashier, jack
SOD, robbed him of $65,3OO of government
money. Jackson subsequently committed sui
eide. The loss was discovered by Bristow's
officers at Washington before it was known at
Louisville All of Buckner's bonds aie on file
them shows that the late Mr.. Miles never was
on any of them. The loss is abundantly Sc
cured to the COZ ernnent by the collector
bond of $780, 600, the suretes on which are
worth more than $10, 900 600.

Two Chicago women determined to have an
interview with Dom Pedro when he was in
their city, last week, SO they got two other wo-
men who were connected with newspapers TO
go with them and the whole party were admit
ted. Bot the interview was btief one. One
of the two outsiders remarked that she had
been anxious to see the Emperor of Brazil be-
cause a relation of hers was one of his Majes-
TVS subjects. With his usual politeness the
Emperor inquired 10 what part of Brazil this
relation dWelt, when the lady innocently re-
piled that she thought it was in Valparaiso.
With wicked smile the Emperor reminded
her that Valparaiso was not in his dominions,
but in Chill, and the party were so demoralized
by the blunder that they precipitatey with
drew.
