Bradley, according to the belief of many. is
pe1jurer; according to his own statements
respecting himself, he has committed, "a the
Democratic minority of the so-called Inyesti
eating Committee point out, a felony in ac-

1t seems, from the discoveries of the detec
tives, that Guiteau was on the Presidents track
during the whole OF last week, watching the
White House and DIGGING his footsteps. 1t is

In NewYork and Brooklyn.

night, but adjourned without action because
OF the enforced absence of three of the num-
Der IhlsIs somewhat to be regretted because
every day added to the Albany session makes
1t more of public WEAKNESS and scandal.
fortunately, however, the speeches at last
lights gathering seemed to show an earnest
disposition to put an end to this unseemlv
conflict at once, if possible. 1t is to be hoped
that to-day's gathering viii bring positive.
