New YoRK. Sept. G.-The Sc" gives
Justice Brsdley's letter In full. a. fol-
lows:
To the editor Of the Newark Adserf;ssr-
Sir I perceive the New York San has re-
iterated Its charge that. after preparing .
written opinion In favor Of Tilden's cleo
ton. In the Florida case submitted 70 Tho
Electoral commission, l changed my
views during the night preceding the vote.
in ECU OF pressure brought TO bear
D me by Republican politicians and
Pacific railroad men. whose carriages, IL
Is said, surrounded my house during the
evening. This, I believe. IL tho important
point Of the charge. Whether ! wrots one
opinion or twenty In my private exafnina.
ton Of the subject 10 OF little consequence,
aud Of no concern 10 anybody II the
opinion which I finally gave WAS . fair
result Of my deliberations without In
fiuence from outside parties. The above
Islander was published some time since:
but l never saw II until recently, and
deemed IL too absurd n need rufutation ;
but ~ IL IL categoricaily repeated. per-
haps I ought ~ notice It. The same
story about carriages VI leading To-
publicans and Others c~ongregsting at my
house was circulated In Washington at m
time and came 10 tho ears Of my family
only 10 raise n smile Of contempt. The
whole thing is q fAlsehool. Not Q single
visitor called at my house thai evening.
and during tho whole sitting OF tho Com
mission I had no private discussion what
ever on the subject. Of issue with any per-
sou interested ON tho Republican side. and
but few words with any person. Indeed
I assidnOusly sought 10 avoid all discus
sion outside the Commission itself. The
allegation that I read an opinion to Judges
Clifford and Field Is entirely untrue.
read no opinion 10 either OF them, and
have no recollection Of expressing any.
II I did, IL could only have been sugges.
lively or In q hypothetical manner and
not intended ~ committal OF my fnAl
Judgment or action. The question was
one Of great importance TO mo. OF much
difficulty anil embarrassment. and i earn
estly endeavored TO come to . right decis'
ion, free from all political or cxtraneous
considerations. In my private examina-
ton Of tho principal question about going
behind the returns. l wrote and rewrote
the arguments and considerations on both
sides as they occurred to me. sometimes
being inclined TO one view Of the subject
and sometimes TO tho other. but finally i
threw aside these lucubrations and. a. you
have rightly stated. wrote out . short opin'
ion which | read in the Florida case dur.
ing the sitting Of the Commission. This
opinion expresses the honest conclusion
10 which 1 hal arrived, and which. AFTER
full consideration Of tho whole subject
seemed TO me the only Satisfactory solution
Of the question. and l may add hat the
more I have reflected on IL since, the more
satisfied l have become that II was right.
At all events. II was tho result OF my
reflections and consideration, without any
suggestions from any quarter, except argu'
ments adduced by counsel In public dis.
c~ussions and by members OF the Commits
sion In private consultation. An for tho
i~nsinuation. contained In . recent article
published In q prominent Journal by .
noted politician, implying that the case
was decided In consequence Of . political
conspiracy, I only say. and from the pecu'
liar position I occupied on tho Commits
sion / All able positively TO say. that IL IL
utterly devoid Of truth. at least 40 far n
action Of the Commission itself was con-
cerned. In that article the writer couples
my name with the names OF those whom
he supposes obnoxious to public odium.
The decencies Of public oppression, II
nothing more. might we'll have deferred
so able q writer from making the personal
imputstions which lao did not know TO DO
we'll founded. Yours respectfully.
