Delayed Dispatches.

NEW YORK, April 21---The Tribune's
Washington special says: Brady, lin con-
nection with a few of his friends, has bought
the Washington Republican,, the only daily
republican newspaper in the city, and in
stalled Geo. G. Gorham as editor. 1t was
thought that the administration could not
get along without an organ at the capital, and
would not dare offend Brady. He did not care
much about staying in the department. If a
storm was raised about his contracts he was
willing to relieve the administration by step
ping out voluntarily, providing that a man
agreeable to him was put IN his place, so that
the operations of the Star ring should not be
disturbed. His friends boosted that he was
too powerful a man for the administration to
offend. Meanwhile, Gorham received the
republican caucus nomination tor secretary
Of the senate, which gave Brady and his fol-
lowing additional confidence. They grew
arrogant, and were so impudent as to at
tempt to intimidate the administration.
When the president nominated Judge Rob-
ertson for the New York collectorship, Brady
and Gorhain's newspaper published a series
of editorial attacks upon his action, as if to
give him a foretaste of what he might expect
if he intertered with the profitable business
carried on in the office of the second assistant
postnaster-general. The paper assumed to
be intensely s~talwart, and made itself the
o~fiicious champion of Conkling in the contro-
versy over New York patrol age. II exercised
no sort of influence, however, because every
body saw It's editor desert the republican
party in California only two years ago, and
work for the state ticket of bourbon demo-
Gratis. He is a soldier of fortune in politics,
and usually a lucky one, but his California
esranade was a blunder which he would be
glad to have forgotten. Gorham's connection
with Brady, and the persistent attacks OF the
newspaper be edits upon the administration,
place him in a peculiar p~ositiOn,as the caucus
nominee of the republican party for the high
est office in the gift of the senate. Repuhli-
can senators may think it needful yet to find
some way to drop him by the time the dead
lock is broken.

led and u~riadrupled, at a corresponding in
crease ofS cost to the government, and in def
ance of all the natural demands of the pub
lie, without their being in the interior man
agement of the postofice department knowl-
edge that this was a fraud upon the govern
ment, The Times called attention to the glar-
ing fact in the case that congressman were
either gullible or guilty if they supported
Brady in his ingenious defense, and he was
left to work out his plans.

situation home to Americans thus:

 OSHKOSH, May 5.-Charles Rief, assistant fire marshal, yesterday began suit for $5, GOO against s. B. Paige for the recovery of Mrs. Paige's dead body from her room in the Beckwith House at the fire which recently destroyed that hotel. While the flames were at their height Mrs. Paige was at the window pleading for help. MT. Paige was in the crowd below, and no one daring to go to the woman's assistance, he offered, Rief alleges, $5, ,000 reward to any man who should either rescue Mrs. Paige alive or save her body from being consumed. Rief climbed up to the room and found the woman suffocated, but carried her body to the street.

 The President was called on this evenln by large number of Senators in the interest of harmony and to more than one of them he expressed 8 desire to be understood to be the author of Robertson's nomination.
