Judge Brady for Recollection.

JoHN Il. BRADY is good Judge and "a gen
t.oman. His integrity is unqucstoued. His
term Of Office approaches its completion,
and the question who shall bc his successor
has already been much agitated among
politicians and by aspirants for his place
Some Of those who imagine his shoes are
already half way on their own feot might
we'll limit their ambition to seat on the
bench OF some inferior court.
Judge BRADY has a strong, solid hold on
the confidence Of the people, and we believe
that without regard to party they will re-
elect him. We much doubt whether any
political organization, however compact, IL
strong enough to compass the defeat Of II
Judge believed by the independent voters to
be capable and upright.
We are safer with Judge BRADY on the
bench than we should be with an improved
man; and the chances are about ten hun.
drod 10 n thousand that if we should make Il
change it would be for the worse
Therefore let men Of all parties, at this
early day, set it down that Judge JOHN H.
BRADY is t. be reelected.

MANY pcrsnns have been puzzled to know
how the Fraudulent President was going to
proyidc nav. provendor, and expenses for his
Louisiana Commission. which he had con-
stituted in pursuance OF a personal whim
aud without any authority Of law Mr..
CuANpIn,, no doubt. exhausted tho ex-
chequcr Of the Republican Campaign Com
mittce in lavish encouragcmen and support
OF the various Returning Boards and other
confodoratcd swindlers by whom Mr. HAYES
was counted in; aud Uncle BrRcHARD's cs-
tate in supcrannuatcd rams, spawned
hurscilcsh. and bull's-eyc watches would
hardly suffice fer SO big a draft Where.
then. Is the money TO come from HAYES
Of Ohio f. not a brilliant man; but IA Bon
INoERsoLL would say. hc knows enough to
know that Congress will make no appropria-
tiou to dciray the expenses Of five private
gentlemen, who sailed forth at the sugges-
ton Of Il sixth to make II new political party
in behalf Of a Fraudulent Administration.
Therefore HAYES of Ohio has conceived a
highly original plan of compensating his per-
sonal agents. and this plan like HAYES him
self savors strongly Of fraud. When HAYES of
Ohio took possession of the Office TO which
SAMUEL J. TILDEN was elected. he assumed
among other functions which the people
never assigned to him, the custody Of GER
tain sum Of public money known rs the Sc
cret service fund. 1t is appropriated ex-
clusivcly for diplomatic purposes, ana may
be disbursed on the naked order Of the Pres
dent. and without vouchers, because IL IL
supposed that the interests Of the United
States abroad might occasionally be injured
by publication Of the means employed to
protect them. This Is the theory and the
whole theory upon which the fund was
created. The President has no more right TO
use II in the way now proposed, than he
would have to draw upon any other appro-
priation for electioncering purposes. And
yet il is announced that HAYES Of Ohio in
tends TO run his hand into this fund.- and
abstract so much Of it as will satisfy the de-
mands and pay the tavern bills Of five men
who volunteered TO go to Louisiana Oh
trading expedition in his interest.
This operation, as Mr. HAYES must, sooner
or later be informed, is plain stealing and
will lead to very serious consequences when
Congress meets. OF course. HAYES does not
comprehend the nature Of the act in question,
and would not steal if he knew it, hut he Is
just stupid enough to rob this fund under
the foolish misrepresentation that because it
IL secret II may be pnndered 10y any
official that can get his hands upon ii. We
warn him now of his error, and if he persists
In doing that which cannot be described
otherwise than as high crime, we at least
shall spare no effort TO bring him to justice.
il the Fraudulent President begins by pay
ing his political cmissaries out Of the pub
lie moneys, lie will end by using them to
subsiize newspapers and TO buy votes. The
expenses OF the Louisiana Commissioners
are properly chargcahle to the private purse
of the man whose individual agents they
were
