THE speech Of Representative j. d.
Brady, of the fourth Virginia district, the
most important portions of which we print
this morning, is a complete refutatlon of
all the calumnious allegations made by
Congressman Wise in the speech called
forth by Mr.. Boutwells proposition to in
quire into divers occurrences at the Norfolk
navy yard. Mr.. Brady vindicates Mr..
Boutelle in every particular. 1t is proper
10 state in this connection that Mr. Brady
has no malice toward ex-confcderates, and
does not object to their employment, but
he does object to the discharge Of ex-sol-
diers of the Union on political grounds.
In the speech referred to he shows that
such soldiers who had made splendid
records in government employment were
hustled out TO make room for Democrats
1t is good speech, and ought to have a
large circulation.

THE state of New Jersey has suspended
payment on account Of decision rendered
by the Supreme Court, declaring uneon-
stitutional and void the general law for the
taxation Of railroad and canal property,
under which is raised 5000, 600 of the 81 ,2OO,-
600 Of the states annual revenue. The de-
cision, which, it is said, was total surprise
10 the lawyers and all concerned, not only
sets aside the present law, but the princi-
pies laid down IN it may be Oppliedas rorci-
bly, to the special and general laws under
which the railroads formerly paid taxes to
tie state, and, If the corporations take adj
vantage of the situation as fully as they
may, it Is evident that they can escape the
payment Of any state tax at all until some
new system is devised.

IT Congress persists npermltting / he coinage
Of 79cent silver dollars at the rate of 1000 900
a month, this matter OF gold exports-unless
our merchandise shipments increase very
greatly-will speedily become serious and even
dangerous, --Frightcaed Exchange,
Whenever the balance Of trade sets
steadily against us, which is not likely to
happen soon, we shall have to ship gold
from our abundant supply. The coinage
of 100000 silver dollars month "has
nothing to do with the case.n
