Gen. Brady and the New indictments.

Gen. Brady was in the criminal court room
yesterday for the purpose of furnishing bail
for his appearance to answer the charges con-
tanned in the two indictments charging him
with receiving money while second assistant
postmaster general, as a consideration for in
creasing certain star route mail service.
Judge Wyie said that the verdict in the
trial just ended would probably be sufficient
reason for yacating the bond given by Gen.
Brady in that case. The original indictment
remained, but as he understood that it was
nearly identical with that recently disposed
Of, he thought that it should be abandoned.
Mr.. ker said that the government did not
propose trying that Indictment and if the
court thought that it should be dismissed he
would not object. As Mr. Mefrick was not
present however, he asked that any action in
that matter be postponed until Saturday next.
The subject was then dropped, and after some
discussion the court fixed the bail in the two
additional indictments at $4,000 in each case
Mr.. Brady will give the required bail on Sat
urday.

and swings for the little ones, shade trees,
flowers, summer houses, and bathing ar

yesterday. When about three miles from tho

leaped from the pilot house, and when last
seen was bravely making for the shore, where
he doubtless arrived safely.

THE PEACE OF EUROPE

Last wear was unusually fruitful in ru.
mors of war throughout Europe, but for
tunately none of them seemed based upon
anything of definite character. The year
1852 passed away, and with the exception
Of England's affair with Egypt, the peace
OF Europe remained undisturbed. 1t is an
old saying, but an extremely truthful one,
however, that where there is so much
smoke there must be some fire, II is
hardly to be expected that throughout all
Europe the press and the people would in
dulse in fears OF war and spread rumors Of
the same without some cause therefor,
There were two powerful menaces to the
peace of the world indeed, last year, but
the present year opens with both of them
gone. We refer to the late NJ, GANuErrA
and the Russian general, SEonELErr. Both
were popular idols, both heroes in their
way in the eyes of the masses, Both, too,
were of fiery, untamed and ambitious
spirit, and both were distinguished
alike for their bitter hatred of Ger
many. 1t is not yet forgotten
how near SEoBELEFfs utterauccs IN Paris
came to throwing Russia and Germany
into war, and even with their idol gole the
Russians still feel great enmity toward:
and jealousy Of the Germans. So long as
SKonELErr lived, the recognized head o
the slav party, with his bravery, ambition
and military genius the peace Of Europ,
was endangered. What is said OF SEonE
LErF was truewith equal or double force o
GANBgrTA. His LIES work II had becom,
well.known, had settled down into an eilor
to recover for France the provinces Of Al
sacs and Lorraine, and avenge upon hate,
Germany the wrongs and rcyerses of tn
war OF 1870, by which France so heavily sui
tered. II had become the aim Of his III
and he had become the mouthpiece an,
leader OF republicanism in France. 1t
hardly matter Of doubt that he woul
have been, had he lived, the next presiden
of France, and his elevation I
+ power would unquestionably have mean
. blooished in Europc. That he was icarc
above oil other men in Europe by the Gel
man people In Europe, is manifest by tn
, tone Of the press comments there on n
} death. The most fiery and influential, tn
. most dangerous and combustible element
, in European politics, US now constituted, |
!. a word, have been eliminated by the deaf
) Of these two remarkable men, GANBErr
and sKoprLkrr. 1t is not desirable situi
$ ton for two or three great nations 10 /
placed In when their peace and prosperit
