SHOULD he TESTED IN TIME.

Says the Tuscarora Times.Review: 1t
is of the utmost Importance that the con.
~stitutionality of the new Judiciary law
should be decided by the Supreme Court
in time for the people to vote under.
standingly upon the matter at the next
election. As it stands at present it will
be the duty of the Governor and the
Boards of County Commissioners to
include in their proclamations the three
District Judges designated by the new
Act, and unless otherwise decided by
our highest legal tribunal, the election
will be held in accordance Herewith.
In that case there would be no Judges
elected separately in the districts as at
present constituted, and i'll the event OF
the new law being afterwards declared
unconstitutional, there would be seven
District Judge vacancies, which would
have to be filled by appointments by the
Governor. This, of itself, is a sufficient
reason why the law should be tested be-
forehand, but there is another which is
even more cogent and imperative. II
the matter is delayed until the three
Judges are installed, the uncertainty Of
the legality Of their election will render
doubtful oil proceedings in their courts,
and in the more than probable event of
the law being annulled upon o writ OF
quo warranto there would be no end to
the confusion and complications which
wnnld ansua.

The reputation Nevada has in the
East for ~rottenness in political matters is
due in no small degree to the press OF
the State. The almost constant talk OF
how a certain county was colonized sev-
eral years ago. by the importation OF 25
men, who elected a Senator and an As.
semblyman; of the United States Sena.
torship being a question simply of who
can pay the biggest price for the purchss.
able vote. etc.. is not calculated to help
the State at the present time. If the PEG.
pie of Nevada are generally righteously
indignant at what has been. there are GER
tainly other and very decided and effect
i've ways of showing it. Let there be
more action Of the right character and
less talk Of the kind--at least, for a while.

MR.. MOSES BRADSHAW PROPOSES TO CONTINUE
HIS FIGHT ON THIRD ASSISTANT POSTMASTER
GENERAL HAZEN BEFORE CONGRESS.
Mr.. Moses Bradshaw the private secretary of
eX-Represeptative Robson, of New Jersey, who
was private secretary of Judge Gresham, when
he was Postmaster General, intends, it is said,
to renew the fight against Third Assistant Post
master General Hazen, which he began when
he was in the department. Mr.. Bradshaw was
appointed chief of the stamp division when Mr.,
Graham was removed by Judge Gresham be-
cause member OF the committee that counted
the defective sheets of postage stamps sent to
the department for destruction, stole q guam
tity and disposed of them to dealers in this
city. Judge Gresham held that MIR. Graham
was negligent in his duty, in consequence of
which the stamps were stolen. He was there
upon removed and Mr.. Bradshaw appointed in
his place. few months afterwards, while
Mr.. Hatton was Postmaster General, Mr.. Brad
bed a report from the knowledge of the Post
master General. Mr.. Bradshaw denied the charge
at the time, and maintained this his removal
was due to Third Assistant Postmaster General
HaZen, who, he said, was afraid of the informa-
tion which he bradshaw had in his possession
relative 70 the conduct OF 1.-The third assistants
office. It Is now stated that Mr.. Bradshaw in
tends to bring to the attention of the New Jer-
sey delegation in Congress, with the view of
securing a Congressional investigation, the
matters which he claims to have rejecting upon
Mr.. Hazen and the management of his Office.
1t is expected that Mr.. Gresham, who is now a
United States circuit court judge, will be an
important witness in this Investigation If 1t
should be held.

THE CHRISTMAS MAIL.
Scenes at the City Post Omce-A Rush
OF Work for the Carriers.

All the substitute carriers and all the extra
force of the city post office was at work to-day
on the Christmas mail. In the carriers room
the mail was piled up underneath and on top Of
the counters and the men were working like
beavers TO reduce the great heaps. Many of the
carriers to-day took out on their trips extra
sacks containing packages for delivery. Even
the special delivery messengers were affected
by the rush of business and were kept on the
run delivering packages. This afternoons mail
it is expected will be enormous. "People are
learning something about post office business"
said an old attache to a STAR reporter. "They
do not send Christmas presents q week ahead
of time now, but they mail them SO that they
will be delivered the day before Christmas"
The Hobbies of the city post office and of the
branch offices on + street and on Capitol hill
were thronged all day to-day with people mail
ing packages. Postmaster Conger put on two
extra clerks to sell stamps and opened two ad-
dittouals stamp windows, SO as to supply the
public as rapidly Is possible. The amount of
extra matter sent from the city through the
post office this Christmas Is largely in excess of
any previous year. The packages Of merchan-
disc mailed yesterday numbered nearly
5000, considerably more than twice the num-
Der mailed on the corresponding day Of last
year.

The Potomac Bridges,

COL. HAMS REPORT UPON THEM SENT TO
CoNGRESS-BOTH LHE LONG BRIDGE AND
AQUEDUCr OBSTACLES TO NAVIGATION.
The report of Col. P. c. Hains in charge of
the improvement OF the river front, to the chief
Of engineers, on the Long bridge and the Aque-
duct bridge, has been transmitted to Congress,
in accordance with q resolution passed at the
last session directing the Secretary Of War to
have an examination made relative to bridges.
causeways or structures now erected or In pro-
cess Of erection, which do or will interfere with
q tree and safe navigation. This report, the
substance ofwhich was published in The STAR
during the last summer, says the Long bridge
tnterferes with the free and safe navigation Of
the Potomac river, and It will do 80 In greater
degree when the improvements now In pro-
gress on the river front are completed. Col.
Hams suggests that the only satisfactory
way Of correcting the defects Of this bridge Is
to build q new one several feet higher, on fewer
piers, with wider spans. Col. Hafns states that
the Aquednct bridge is also an obstacle to free
and safe navigation, as none but the smallest OF
steamboats, can pass under II, and practically 1t
renders navigation above the truss impractica-
BILE for anything but small tugs and datboats.
The only satisfactory way OF removing the In
reference, he suggests, is to dispense with the
aqueduct portion and rebuild the superstruc-
ture rs highway bridge with suitable draw
for the accommodation OF vessels OF the largest
class that visit Georgetown.
