OF the whole country, that It has no other motive.
There is disturbance anywhere now that jushes IT,

.Pudge Bradley and Louisiana C3Urts


His Coming Here Not Probable.


WASHINGTON, December 2l.-It can be
positively stated on good authority that
Judge Bradley has not siguifed any inten-
ton to 90 to New Orleans during the pres
ent term of tho United States Supreme
Court, and it is pretty certain that he will
not do SO unless requested by the President,
who, rs head of the political department of
the government, is more especially charged
with the political relations between the
States and the general government.


1t is understood that the Supreme Court
does not regard itself as having any TOwer
over the question whether Judge Bradley
should not go to New Orleans, and his go
ing there at all at this junoture at the re-
quest OF several parties, or from his own
volition, might have the appearance Of dis
trust of the TWO judges already on or near
the spot. He would be very reluctant to
take such course, however willing to do
anything in his power to aid in settling the
difficulties which exist.
