BRADYIsM is in a bad plight at
Washington. The ring master who
has been running the Postoffice De-
partment for fouryears with a profit
of millions to himself and favor
ties, has been forced to resign. The
evidences against him are fearful,
and it Is said men of all parties are
implicated with him in his star note
winnings. The Washington Senti-
mel says Democrats have been aided
and supported by him for the adj
vancement of his plans, and it wants,
as all people want, a full exposure OF
all good things. Did Brady's agents
ever take stock in any political
movements in Texas?

The finances of Russia do not
show that the Car would find his
government in condition 10 resist
any great popular disturbance. The
revenue for 1879, the last year for
which the accounts are published,
exceeded the estimate by $22, AIS, ,120
Fhere is another side to the ques-
ton. While the actual receipts are
given as $SSO,977,O95, the actual ex-
penditure is stated at $S88, ,00O, ,785,
of which, when the accounts were
made up, SS2,226.295 had yet to be
paid, or, in other words, added TO
the national debt. The Russian
debt charge has increased from 107
million roubles in 1875 to 172 million
in 1879.

BY INVESTING $4,000 IN four per
cents. now, a national bank can get
$4,000 per annum interest and $780,
600 in bank notes; while, if the three
per cent bill had become law, the
same amount of money would have
bought bonds yielding $S45O per
annum and emitting a bank to
sos, 800 in bank notes. 1t is plain
that the average market rate of
money would have to run under 5

ness more profitable with four per
cents. at 115 as security for circula-
ton, than it would have been if the
three per cent. bill had not failed.

MRS. BELvA A. LOCKWOOD, the
Washington lawyer, has written to
the President offering to take the
Brazilian mission which was offered
to and declined by ex-senator
Blanche X. Bruce, of Mississippi.
Of her fitness for the mission, she
says: -.f-r
81 am not afraid of the yellow fe.
yer, of war, famine nor earthquake /;
but the welfare of our beloved
country would be my sole ambition.
Besides, | have not the disabilities
of color to combat. AS to sex, the
precedent is an old one. Brazil is
the only monarchy on this conti-
nent, and monarchies, from time
immemorial, have seated women on
the throne and have granted them
places according to their rank, with
out STOPPING to the narrow policy
of some wOuld-be republics. Be
sides, / have the honor of the
acquaintance of the Emperor and
Empress of Brazil. / was. born
and educated in the Empire State,
but do not belong to the machine
politicians on one side or the inde-
pendent ON the other, so that the
complication which has arisen in
the nomination of Robertson for the
port of New York would be- avoid
ed, and | do not ike Private Dali
zell,' desire a higher place. L would
urge, as TO my fitness for the. posi-
ton, n thorough knowledge of the
commercial interests OF the United
States, familiarity with internal law,
an earn, st desire to arbitrate all diff
ferenccs between nations, a knowl-
edge of the consular manual and the
French language, with some prof.
cheney IN Spanish vts4s'
. Mrs. Lookw ood seems not to be
informed that the constitution of
Brazil does net recognize the rights
of women, since it prohibits wo-
man from being its empress, and
woman, in Brazil, is held in the
greatest reserve. tf.ss ei7F7 u

A DISTRICT COURT FOR WATERBURY Legislature has passed, this week, a, bill rela- ting to courts in the city of Waterbury, which makes several very important changes. Early in tEe session, several bills were introduced and referred to the judiciary committee, rela- ting to the city and police courts. The city attorney, after consulting with the members of the bar and others, prepared an entirely new bill as a substitute tor all the bills, which will soon become law. After the first of July, the city court will be known and called the district court of Waterbury, and the towns of Woodbury and Southbury are added to the jurisdiction in addition to the towns adjoining Waterbury, now in the jurisdiction of the city court. The salary of the judge, the ju- TOTS, and the officers attending the district court, will all be pad by the state, instead of by the city. The city will pay five hundred dollars only, as salary of jndge of the police court, and the salaries of the clerk and pros ecuting attorney. The jurisdiction of the new district court will be the same as that of the present city court with the two towns aboved named, and jury cases will be tried
 in the district court. The towns within it's jurisdiction nave a population of about 4O 900: more than 10000 larger than the dis trict court in Ltckield county, and larger than Middlesex or Holland counties. Two additional terms of the superior court will be .held in Waterbury, for the trial of criminals only, on the third Tuesdays of March and Sep tember, and appeals in criminal cases in Wa terbury and the towns adjoining (except Cheshire) will be taken to tue Waterbury su- perior court. This provision will save much expense in the travel of witnesses, etc., to New Haven, and it will doubtless save mon- ey for the state, as we'll as the city. The law will relieve the city of large expense winch it has had for years past; if will keep our le- gal business at home and bring in more from surrounding towns, and in some little meas ure give us the benefits of a new county. - Waterbury Amerscan.
