WASHINGTON, April 20th.-The important
nominations sent to the Senate ty Presi lent
Garfield to-day have attracted much atten
ten, and are subjects OF extensive comment
in political circles this evening. The resigna
ton Of Assistant Postmaster General Brady
is well understood to have been compulsory !;
and but for the delay in selecting his success.
or would have been demanded considerably
sooner. It is said that positive evidence Of
corruption on the part OF Brady in the mat
tiers Of the star service business has been in
the hands of the President for some time,
but his being allowed to resign would seem to
indicate that the evidence was not sufficiently
conclusive to warrant his formal Withdrawal,
although more than enough to create strong
suspicion in the mind Of the President and to
lead to prompt decision that a change was
necessary Richard a. Elmer, who has been
nominated to take Brady's place. is friend
of Senator Platt of New York aad of Post
master General James. both of whom speak
OF him very highly IS Q practical business
man, who will conduct the affairs Of the Of
fee with honesty and ability, He is about
- years old, and is now President
OF the WayerIy, n. Y. National
Bank, The transfer of the Third Assistant
PGstmaster-General Hazen to the position CT
law officer for the Department was made, 1t
is said, at his own request, but excites good
deal of unfavorabe comment, as he is not a
lawyer, while, on the other hand, he is thor
oughly qualified by training and long ex-
perielce for the performance of the import
ant duties of his present Office. 1t is there
fore generally believed that the purpose Of
the transfer is merely to make a place for the
very respectable middle-aged gentleman, Mr..
Grier, who first voted for General Garfeld's
nomination at Chicago, and who now desires
to relinquish his banking business in the
little Pennsylvania town of Hazleton for an
official position and social enjoyment i'll
Washington.
Senators Jones of Nevada and Farley, who
have been spending some days in New York,
resumed their seats in the Senate to-day.
Editor Gorham has column editorial in
the National Republican to-day on the subject
of Congressman Jorgensen and the Virginia
campaign, but takes no notice of the personal
attack contained in Jorgersen's published
his letter interesting to the public is that in
which he states his opinion in regard to the
political situation in Virginia" This portion
Mr.. Gorham copies and comments upon in Q
dispassionate and argumentative way, and
calmly endeavors to show that q thorough
fusion Of all anti-BouTbon voters ia the next
election cannot unfayorably affect the inter
ests of any political party or element other
than the Bourbon Democracy. He asserts
that a large proportion of white Republicans
Of Virginia, including ex-senator Lewis, the
Chairman Of the Republican State Central
Committee, are in hearty accord with Cen
eral Malone, and that the colored people Of
Virginia, constituting eleven-twefths of the
Republicans of the State, have already
spoken in their State Convention with sub
stantial unanirnity for General Malone as
thsir leader. He says that although it is true
th8t the Readjusters polied only -, GOO votes
il. the Presidential election, they were more
than twice as numerous in 1879, when
there were only State issues involved. The
remaining essential portion of his argument
is as follows: The Readiueters of Demo
cratic antecedeuts are of course the main re-
lance for success this year against the Bour-
bous They are for fair elections, free
schools, a repeal OF the capitation tax, the
abolition of tie whipping post, which is an
tainable settlement Of the debt. They could
not be enlisted in behalf OF Republican
ticket. They do not ask the Republicans to
accept . ticket at their hands. Trey invite
ali who will support the Readjusters' ticket
TO aid in its formation. This makes genuine
union Of anti-Bourbon votes possible, and
there can be 70 doubt now that it will be real

Butler-That has nothing to do with it.
Burnside (excitedly)-I say there has been

Butler tpaueiug before making a reply,
which was taken advantage OF by Burnside
to repeat the statement that this bargain,
