"ALIUNDE" BRADLEY.

The New York Sun declares that on the
night before Judge Bradley, of the electora'
commission, delivered his opinion 10 the
Florida case, he read it over to judges Cliff
ford and Field, and the conclusion Of it was,
"tha. the votes Of the Tilden electors in
Florida were the only votes which ought to
be counted coming from that State
That was his opinion when he finished the
paper. But, "durirg the whole of that night
Judge Bradley's house in Washington was
surrounded by the carriages of visitors who
came to see him, apparently about tho de-
cision of the electoral commission AID, next
day, 10 Judge Bradley gave his voice in
favor Of counting the votes of the Hayes cleo.
tors in Florida ~ This is a statement of
alleged facts that carries with it the unmis-
taxable charge that Judge Bradley was tam
pered with, and was induced by outside in
fuenccs to change an opinion upon a soemnly
Judicial matter 1t is q very heavy accusa>
tion, and if it can be justified should drive
Bradley from the bench in disgrace.
On last Thursday morning the Sheriff of
Washington county, Md, aided by U. 6.
Troops arrested eight of the boatsmen on the

boat some two weeks since. The 7th Ma,
ryland Regiment arrived at Sir Johns Run,
the place of arrest, the same day, but no
trouble occurred. The canal is now open,
but boatmen still assert that thoy will not
run their boats for less than 81 per ton.

(trom. the French Rcchc); Tucker, n
cloth fuller To say no,hiug o. the very
Obyions Butcher, Baker, Carpenter,

will furnish plenty of such names as
Robertus de Bakester (Baxter?), Simon
lronmonger,Jo John Daylaborer, etc An
other very fertile source OF derivation
was from places, ~ GiIbertus Apg'i.
