Judge Bradley and the Florida
Case,

We pnblis', in another column a
statement from the New York Sun
Which, if uncontradicted by competent
authority, must be cor sidered the most
Important contribution yet made to
the secret history of The electoral
franh.
1t has been held by he majority of
the American people who were cheated
ont of their suffrages that the counting
in of Hayes WAS the result of corrupt
conspiracy, involving various mem
hers, namely, he more desperate
Republican leaders. the carpet, bag
gers in the South, and the railroad and
subsidy .jobbers generally.
!, is no longer denied that the Re-
turning Boards did their share of the
work by criminal methods and with
criminal Intentions. But the job was
consnmmated 10 the Electoral Com
mission. Was its Judgment also cor.
rnpt, az well as perverse aud techni
catly lawless? If the SUMS statement
he true it was, and that it is absolutely
true the reader can scarcely doubt,
when he remembers the deadly and
habitual accuracy with = which that
powerful journal has hitherto delivered
a long succession of blows at crime in
high places. 1t has never struck but
to kill. The country is strewn with
the wrecks it has made. There was
no mistake when it uncovered the
Credit Mobiiier iniquity none when it
turned up the Memphis Ell Paso- Texas
Pacific shame; none when it smashed
the Washington Ring, and none when
it drew the Washington safe burglars
from their covert of darkness and
poured the food of its mercilrss' liuLt
al! over and around them. And there
is no reason to suppose that there is
any mistake here.
Judge Bradley has never seen fit to
deny or explain those Newark pro-
crAdlngs in CORTLAND Parker's back
office, whereby the Texas Pacific
acquired the property of the Memphis
Ell Paso proceedings which must have
rendered the Judge the humble slave
of those who used him then. !, These
are the men who are supposed.to have
revised his opinion on the case of the
Florida electors, and told him that he
might reasoa as he liked in favor of
the truth, bnt the judgment mast be
for the frauds. BIT fit be not trne,
Judge Bradley can readily deny it,
and support his denial by the authori
ty Of his brethren on the bench.r As. it
stands it is undoubtedly Tiden
opinion with a Hayes Judgment, and
the Suns explanation makes that clear
which before was a NEST curious
mystery Philadelphia Common

the safety of the National Capital, and
her desire to be of service in the

Thousands of men in South Carolina

In UIfee!ing Mosel Clerk,

The Palmer House Office was the
scene Of a little excitement yesterday
afternoon, occasioncd by the discovery
OF beat, who, as near as can be.as-
ceTtained. has lived high for about a
week at Mr.. Pamer's expense. The
name of the individual is suppressed
for various reasons. That under
which he registered was probably f1c-
tItinus, if the individual followed
strictly the custom of his craft. He
was discovered in his dis uise abont
the hour of the 5 O'clock dinner.
Cnief Clerk Nipple invited him to a
seat In the conservatory behind the Of
lice, and there deprived him of coat,
vest, hat and shoes. Then he assigned
him to standing position near one of
the pillars and placed guard over
him, so that the guests might be i'm
pressed and all loafers "on the beast"
might take warning. The prisoner
bore the torture with astonishing good
grace, and at last gave the sim of a
Mason in distress. 1t did not. help
HIM any, at least not right away, but
he was shortly afterward relieved and
allowed to depart. The spectacle was
not at all pleasing. and many Of the
guests of the house objected to the
treatment to which the man was sub
Jected. 1t might be suggested that
rather than atliict the guests with the
sight OF man in great mental agony,
the beat should be either arrested and
legally dealt with, or led into conve-
n'ent alley and kicked beyond hope of
recovery Chicago Tribune.
