Prom the Emperor OF nrazII.

New York, Sept. 24.-The Brazilian
charge ddgdtes has addressed the following COM
munlcation to Mrs. Garfield "By the Emperors
command am directed TO convey 10 you the ex-
preston Of his synpathy and coincidence for the
bereavement you have sustain, by the death of

that the members of the imperial
government participate In the sentiment

TIE New York World, which affects
the lofty and the sedate, had on Saturday
Washington dispatch which was sadly
below tone. 1t prefaced an extract from
THE REPUBLICAN, in which the Postmas-
ter-General is censured for appointing to
office ex-confederate Democratic Bour-
bons, married ladies whose husbands are
able to take care of them, and worthless
characters with the astonishing remark
that it "prefgures the attitude of the
local Stalwarts toward Postmaster-Gen-
eral James and the Star-route prosecu-
tions." This is about as logical rs was
the inebriated individual who said he
loved the name of Hammer because his
mothers name was Abigail. But for the
word "prefgures" we should have thought
the dispatch was really written in this
city instead of in the World Office.

THE circulation ofTnE REPUBLICAN, dur
ing the past week was larger than the
circulation of all the other papers in the
District combined. Upward of twenty
thousand papers alone were sold on the
eventful Monday night when the tele-
graph announced "The President is
dead ~ The daily circulation of THE RE-
PUBLICAN, now larger than that of any
other daily in the District, is steadily in-
creasing, fact which advertisers should
heed

THE Posi declares that "thc Cabinet,
after gravely considering the matter"
"came to the conclusion that it was not
only not prudent but unsafe" for the
President to 60 to Cleveland with the late
Presidents remains. This suggests the
query whether the President could have
gone despite the alleged conclusion of
the Cabinet if he had so desired. The
Presidents decision not TO go had in it
no such ridiculous element as the one
suggested in the Post.

The Sunday Herald of yesterday con-
tans article In which II is stated in substance
that General Joseph e, Johnston commanded tho
confederate army OF Northern Virginia during the
Seven Days fight, and that said fight began at
Gaines mill. Joseph y. Johnston was wounded at
Fair Oaks In May, and Lee then took command
and the Seven Days fight began at Mechanlcsvllle,

THE newspapers, so far from'continuing
the senseess cry that the President
should feel an obligation to request the
present Cabinet to continue through his
term, not only as rule conccde the pro-
priety of his surrounding himself with
men of his own selection, but have gen
erously gone to work to aid him in maxi
ing those selections. This is kind.
