OBITUARY.
Jamea T, Brady.
On Saturday evening last Mr. James T. Brady,
while on a visit to his friend; Mr.. Edward T.
Young, of No. 14 West Sixteenth street; was sud
denly taken ill by a stroke of paralysis of the left
side, and after lingering for over two days,expired
at a quarter of an hour before five o’clock yester
day morning.
The parentsof the distinguished dead were na*
lives of Ireland, who emigrated to the United
States in 1812, and for a while took np their resi
dence in New Jersey, where Thomas A. Brady,
their eldest son, was born in 1613. He became a
lieutenant in the United States Marine Corps and
died at Tampico, during the Mex
ican war. Subsequently Mr. and
Mrs. Brady removed to ibis city, in which the
subject of this sketch was born on the 9th of
April, 1815. He received a liberal education,
studied law, and in 1835 was admitted to the
bar. His great natural ability and legal attain
ments soon placed him in the list of the most
eminent lawyers of New York. As a pleader In
criminal cases he was distinguished for the
happy manner in which he would com
bine the most artful arguments without de
viating once from the truth. In the great “India
rubber” case, between Day and Goodyear, Mr.
Brady was associated with Daniel Webster, and
that great statesman was profuse in his praise of
the able manner In which bis associate conducted
the proceedings. It would, of coarse, be Impos
sible to narrate all tbe important law salts de
fended or prosecuted by the deceased. Tbe last
case of more than ordinary interest in which he
was engaged was the recent trial of General
Cole, at Albany, for the mnrder of Mr. Hiscock.
and which resulted, as will be remembered, in
the acqnittal of the accused.
While quite a young man Mr. Brady attached
himself to the Democratic party, becoming in
time one of its acknowledged leaders in this
State, Tbe only office he ever held, however, wasi
a local one—that of Corporation Counsel for this
oily. He was freqneutiy solicited to become the
Democratic nominee lor Jndgeship. but always
<jecHned, hiB practice being too valuable and lu
crative to be abandoned. At one time he was the
candidate of the Democracy for the office of At
torney-General of the State and was defeated, In
iB6O Mr. Brady supported them aims oijofin c.
Breckinridge for the Presidency, and became the
candidate of that branch of the Democracy
for the office of Governor. He was, with
the candidate of the Douglas Democrats, defeated
bv the Bepnblican nominee. After the outbreak
of the rebellion the deceased gave a hearty sup
port to the war measures of Mr. Lincoln's ad
ministration, and even went eo far as to join the
Union League organization,in defence of the non
partisan character of which he wrote and pub
lished a letter at the time. As soon, however, as
be discovered that it was partisan he severed his
connection with It Mr. Brady’s political career
during foe post fowyears was unmarked by any
important event. He is said to have supported
General Grant for foe Presidency, but of this we
are not positive.
As a public speaker the deceased was one of the
most eloqnent men of foe time. He was polished,
finent, witty and ever entertaining. Whether at
foe bar pleading for a client, on foe stnmp advo
cating bis political ideas, or in foe social circle
engaged in conversation or replying to a toast,
he was ever foe same—charming his hearers by a
ready and happy flow of language that but few
men are possessed of. Mr. Brady was foe Presi
dent of foe Friendly Sons of St. Patrick, and
also President of foe Dramatic Fnnd Association.
And here we wonld state that there was
no more liberal patron of American art, litera
ture and drama than he. In him foe American
artist, writer and dramatist fonnd a warm friend.
Taken all in all, both as a public man and as a
private character, foe death of Mr. Brady leaves
a blank in New York life ibat will be difficult to
fill As a lawyer bnt few members ot his profes
sion can be found to fill the position he occupied
wbo are not already his poers. As a member of
society his loss is irreparable.
The remains of foe eminent lawyer have been
conveyed to his late residence, No. 124 West
Twenty-third street. To-morrow (Thursday)
morning, at half-post ten o'clock, a solemn high
mass jbr foe repose of his soul will be celebrated
at tbe Roman Catholic Cathedral, on Mnlberry
street, to which all of his friends are invited to
attend Herald.

| Pams, Tuesday, Jan. 26,1869.—Th0 weather-
Wise portlonof the commanity, wbO have been
sp long predicting that winter was not going, to
let as off so easily as has hifoerto.been .the case,;
have every right to feel prond of their superior
prescience. After two-or three false alarm",
Jack-Frosttook ns fairly into his grip about the
middle of last week, and has been pinching ns
border and harder ever since. Yesterday; about
cuntise,foe -thermometer marked : nine degrees
of cold ■ below foe freezing point
tra.-F-JOHESrI
aiad there'’ is no pro«pectofanychangofor the
present,except to a greater Intensity of cold. The
change of scene which this change In . the weather
has worked Is quite' magical. - We had been
floundering Shoot in rain,, or ralherdrizzle,and
moist fog and mod for nearly twomonths, to the
ureal disgust of the transatlantic element of our
population, who sighed for ‘some bright Ameri
can weather. .And now it has come, with bine
shies and plenty of snnshlne, almost as bright
and cheery as at home, regular old-fashioned
Parisian weather, such os of r late years
seemed 'to have been quite ‘lmproved” and*
“embellished” away, so seldom for some seasons
past has it visited ns. The only drawback, to it is
the dost, a Britannic importation, caused by the
general introduction of Macadam in onr new and''
wide Avenues and Boulevards. OnSunday last,
for instance, when every carriage in Paris seemed
to be on its way te the skating ponds in the Bois
de Boulogne, the aspect of the Champs Elysdes
was peculiar. The equipages, almost all of which
were open, looked as if they had been rolling
along the dnsty roads of the Sooth of Prance in
July or August, and the be-cloaked inmates and
flunkies behind were as be-powdered as if return*
ing In costumes of Louis XVI. from a bid*
maeqn. Hair and wbiskers alike were reduced
to dust-color.
i When such weather as tbe present sets' in
suddenly, with'aetrongisb breeze from the north,
it is the enstom here to coyer up the horses with
leather, bach and front, until they look like rhi
noceroses; and' when this clothing, 100, l is
Whitened with the fine dußt, the whole turnout
Wears an aspect which is more peculiar thaneie
t'ant. Add to this that you now alwaysseoafew
spores of yelocipedißls flickering about llkojwinter
grasshoppers amongst the rolling cloud of dost,,
aUd you will acknowledge that , the beau-monde
of Paris on Snnday was curiously composed. On
lirriTing fairly at the lake, however, the ' ’sdenef
changes for the better, and oil becomes bright and <
animated. The' Paris Skating Club, which lately
thought Its occupation gono for tide season at
least, is now once more in foil activity. -The
bright little coquettish;Pavilion is streaming
ifilh flags outside, urhile Inside there is a crowd
of eliqantet in the choicest skating costumes; the
letter got up in a style ondwithacare' that make
cine half suspect tfct the skating itself Is, in com*
parison with the dress,.of guile secondary Un
port an ee. America,' need hardly be said, was
igrgelv represesented; the female ele* 0 "”* '•rhar
preponderating, 1 thhik,n«rta numbers, salt
ccrtainiy did in pietdresqueness of dress
and grace and ; fascination; of actkM
and altitude. The Imperial family did
dot fail, of course, soon to join the gay throng,
for the Emperor and Empress both skate well,
and evidently enjoy the exercise; and even if
they did not, the young Prince,' I apprehend,
like other boys of his age, would leave father
and mother no peace until he had brought them
along with him to the general rendezvous'. Tbe
scene on the ice has certainly been very gay and
brilliant for the last few days, and the more en
joyed perhaps for having come so unexpectedly.
It has arrived, too, at a lncky moment, when
even Emperors and Statesmen are at leisure, the
Conference just over, and every one only wait
ing to hear wluit Greece will reply to M.
Walewski's message.

due collection of the floral and botanical beauties
■if their State, together with a choice assortment
of tbe Cornlferm, brought to Parii by Mr. T. Q.
A. Warren, of San Francisco, have been highly
appreciated by the men of science of all coun
tries here, who have visited them. European
naturalists feel greatly indebted to Mr. Warren
for having thus placed within their reach a
knowledge of the natural history and produc
tions of a region of which they have heard and
iead so much, but seon os yet so
ittle. The collection comprises four
-ten species of Californian Cornifene,
the most beantifnl being the gigantic cones of
he Coulterl pines. There are besides rare and
unique specimens of the tamrac, now first in
troduced to the notice of Bnrope. Specimens of
silk cocoons, mammoth almonds, with numer
ous ferns from the Bandwich Islands, admirably
arranged and pressed, giro great and varied In
terest to the exhibition. Combined with the
noble painting of the scenery of the Rocky
Mountains, by Bieretadt, now exhibiting to all
Paris at the Banking House of Bowles Brothers,
California may be said to be as well repre.
eented by the arts and sciences as by
gold, 5 and to be at this moment folly
brought before the eyes and thonghU of
Pariß and its numberless visitors of oil nations.
Last week also, two Californians, Mrs. and Miss
McCauley, were among the group of Americans
presented by General Dix to the Emperor and
Empress, previous to the grand ball at tbe Tuil
erles. Tho second reception of the American
Embassy, on Saturday last, was,lf possible, more
orowded and fashionable even than the first. The
foreign element wae larger, and stars and rib
bons glittered on many breasts. Tho Greek and
English Ministers were present, among many
others.
, The official reception of Mr. Burlingame and
his diplomatic suite took place at theTnileries on
Sunday lost, that being the day usually devoted
to Buch ceremonies In Paris. The entire party
wero taken to Gonrt from their residence in the
Champs Elysees, In the Imperial carriages, with
state liveries and every other mark of considera
tion. They were first Introduced to the Emporor
in the Throne room, surrounded by his groat
officers of Stato. Here Mr. Burlingame pro
nounced a short and appropriate address, to the
effect that his novel mission marked the desire of
China to enter Into tho general faintly of nations
and to accept the common obligations of
international law. This desire, ho also
sold, had nrlson. out of a bet
ter appreciation of Western civilisation, re-

was (bo enbatlfatlon of diplomatic action to the
r opriccß of interest and brute force. These latter
vords were not perhaps without a lesson for
.ihoeie European powers who have., persistently
onllied China, with a flow rather to ad
u vnnco 1 their own material Interests, than 1
'tpr any higher object or motive; and Mr.
was probably not sorry to show, as ,
p American, ob how much higher principles his
aiseionwsß fonnded. He is acting deMaster of
Ceremonies to China. He tidies her by the hand
and presents her to the modern World, with a
courtesy and dignity which at once assume to her
government its proper placo. The Kp>perbr're>
, p|ied very graciously and even cordially, and the
f pprty afterwards waited ppon tho Empress, who
It), *' —ived " ' in her nrino*"

impression by her beauty and grocer of manners
and gorgeous toilette.
General Prim’* Dcslcaib
' The Madrid correspondent of the N.Y. Tribuns
writes ns follows:
j The Montpensler people have been ranch ex
cited, by a fresh revelation o( Prim’s plana—or
r pbatpurport to be such. On# of the Dane’s or
gans printed an anonym one letter, affirming that
»; bargain bad been struck between Prim, the i
King or Italy,and Napoleon, according to which
Victor Emmanuel's second son, tho> Duke of
Acosta, was to be put on the Spanish throne.
Prince Humbert, his elder: brother,' is In Ill
health, not likely to hare an heir, and scarcely
txpcoied to live, so that the chances of the Duke ,
of Aosta, for the Italian throne. are considerable.
By this bargain he la to renounce them to favor
of Clotllde, and the probable accession Of that
lady and her husbandPrlnce Napoleon Is the bait
Which Induces the French Empefer.to be a party
to this excellent scheme, and, to give
his support to Prim. Its result would
be to make Prim practically Dictator,
spice the Duke of Aosta la a man or snck feeble
intellect as to be almost Imbecile. There Is an
alternative arrangement, provisional or contin
gent on some event not specified, by which the
crowns abonld be shitted, the Duke of Aosta be
coming King of Italy and Prince Napoleon King
of Spun. Due would think the Napoleons had
bad enough of Bpain some fifty years ago.
' I don’t repeat this story because ! believe it,but
because It was for a day or two very generally
belie Ted in Madrid, and shows well enough how.
much sincerity Prim is credited within his profes
sion of .abhorrence far foreign intrigue. It
hasjUßt this basis of fact to rest upon : Claldinl's
visit a month since. The . official organs of the
three countries persisted go strenuously
In .denying to Claldlni , any ; official
character that everybody believed he must have
come on a regular mission. It was, In fact, as' I
ifrote at the time, semi-official, the only doubt
: being whether he came In the interest of the
Duke,of Aosta er t the Prince ol Carignan, who
ajbout that timeWaa supposed to be Napoleon’s
‘ favorite. But Clnldini Is believed to have gone

flcverdy JoHnaon on Bonnets*
I Tbe Fall Mall Gazette, ol the 19th alL.cpnfelna
this:
> Mr.Revcrdy Johnson was at Luton,yesterday,
afadpaid some compliments to tee young women
ebgagcdin the straw-plait manufacture, of which
Indusury Luton is the principal seat. The occa
sion was the opening of a' new corn exchange
and plait hails,. Earl Cowper, aa lord lien tenant
after dilating upon the - identity Of English and
American institutions, Mr. %JdhoadnTogreUed for
ibesako of\the y oungwomen of Lnton that the
old style tit bonnets had not been revived.
the Minister, “what those Frenoh
artists call bonnets are not bonnets at all; they
are hot even caps; Ido not know that a night
eapjwonld be more beautiful,but certainly It wonld
be more useful. What can be more admirable,
however, even in the ease of those small bonnets,
than the skill and taste which these lady work*
women of yours turn out their productions ?
Why, those articles are gems of beauty, and they
make the female face more lovely—if that be pos
sible—than it has been made by nature. Ton see
that, though far advanced in life, I have not yet
forgotten the tastesof my earlier days, and I only
pray that whenever I do so in this particular,
Heaven may be pleased to take me to another
world." Lord Cowper,at the dinner in the evening,
followed in Mr. Johnson’s wake, suggested, os ho
proposed “The Queen,” that wo had one great
advantage over the United States in the fact that
we could be governed by a lady. But Mr. John
son wonld not even admit that. When he got np
to return thanks for his health, he said: “We
have neveryettried the experiment of having a
young and beautiful woman elected oar Presi
dent. However, in this age of progress, when
strong-minded women are abroad, who can tell
what la going to happen? Mlt Bhonld happen,
my lord, that we elect a beautiful, charming, in
tellectual woman, don’t delude yourself by the
belief that we shall not cherish her as much as
yon cherish your beloved Queen. And don’t be
lieve either that our executive authority will not
be administered with the same wisdom as that
with which your Qneen may exercise her author

Some facts In reply to the recent petition of
Occupants and Owners of Property on North
Broad street for an extension of time for the re
moval of the rails:
. First —The warehouses there are not now and
bave not generally been filled to near their capa
city. The grain depot of the Pennsylvania Rail
road Company in West Philadelphia is, tbe
writer confidently asserts, of larger capacity than
all the storage room on Broad street now oc
cupied.
Second —The tolls for months past on Broad
street have not paid the city the cost of main
taining the road.
Third —Favorablo locations for the transfer of
the business arc to be had on Pennsylvania ave
nue, from the Columbia Railroad bridge to the
Delaware; on the Junction Railroad; on the west
side of the Schuylkill, from the Columbia bridge
to Gray’s Ferry bridge, and br tbe Prime Street
Railroad to the Delaware and its branch on
Swanson street, and on Market street, between
the bridge and Broad street. Some of the sign
ers have already purchased on these lines. (One
of ihem, an extensive machinist, declares him
self Indifferent as to whether the removal takes
place or not.)
Fourth —The largest real estate broker iH the
city affirms that since the taking up of the rails
on South Broad street, last May, houses and lots
there havo advanced one-third in value, whiah
secures a large increase in tho amount ot taxes to
the city.
Tho appreciation of Broad street by our citlaons
for residences is shown by the splendid improve
ments on the north of Rldgo avenue, notwith
standing tho near neighborhood of the nuisance
ou tbe south.
Fifth— Tbe Improvements of the signors are of
llttlo value, being for tho most part of a shanty or
shell character.
Sixth— ln 1861 Councils resolved unanimously
that tho rails on South Broad street should be re
moved, but tbe carrying out of tho measure was
arrested by an injunction of the Supreme Coart.
This, however, was dissolved in May last, so
that tho ’petitioners cannot fairly plead want of
notice. -
I may add that tbe Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany, with a proper regard to the feelings of the
public, have authorised Councils to remove their
important branch on Broad street and, Olive at
any time. X.

tives, at the Clerk’s desk; for the other officers of ,
the two Houses, In front of the Clerk’s desk, on
either sideoi the Speaker's platform.
In accordance with this role the Speaker stated ~
that the first five spheres of seats in the south
eastern quarter were reserved for the Senate.!
and he requested tho members tojvacatejthem ana
occupy seats in other parts of the hall; ‘ This .
order had hardlybeen'carrled out before the Door- *
keeper announced the Senate of ' the United '•
States. Tha Senators advanced two by tsve ut» ;

ing meanwhile, and took seats in tho portion of ,

by Mr. Wilson (Iona), all for Grant and Colfax.
The vote of New York was then anuouncedby
Mr. Pruyn as 83 for Seymour and Blair.-Thls.
announcement caused considerable laughter on
the floor under the galleries, bnt there was ho
violation of propriety, nothing but a very palpa
ble suppression of a tendency to Indulge in a
laugh. . _
The vote of New Jersey was announce*—7 far
Seymour and Blair. Pennsylvania, 26 for Grant
and Colfax. Delaware 3, and Maryland 7, were,
cast for Seymour and Blair. In the Maryland .
certificate there was an omission of the word’
“Junior” in the name of Mr. Blair, which’ QtnlSK
blod, on its being made known, caused some
laughter.

and Blair; Tennessee 10 and Ohio 21 for Grant’

The presiding officer having handed to the tel
lers the vote ofLouislona, Mr. Mnllins rose and
said: Mr. President, I ask the reading of the cer
tificate accompanying that report. ,
The Presiding Officer—Let it be read—and
the certificate was read. The word “Junior"'lS
omitted in the name oi Mr. Blalr.ahd the word
“States” Is omitted in the term “United States.’’.
The certificate having been read, Mr. Mnllins
said—Mr. President, I object to the counting of
the vote from the State of Louisiana.
The Vice President directed the reading of the
22d joint rule, which provides that when in
joint convention any question shall arise in refer
ence to the counting of votes, the Senate will
thereupon withdraw, and the question shall, be
submitted to that body for its decision, and the
Speaker of the House of Representatives shall in
like manner eubmit the question to tho House.
Mr. Eldridge, rising to a question of order, in
sisted that the rnle was In violation of the direct
terms ot the Constitution, and called attention to
the 12th amendment, the provision of the Con
stitution being that the President of the Senate
should,in the presence of the Senate and House of
•Representatives, open ail the Certificates, and
that the vote should be counted.
The presiding officer said ! this rule has been
adopted by both houses, and therefore the Chair
will not entertain the question of order.
Mr. Woodward—l rise to a question of order
which, I think, will be entertained. I submit
that the objection coming from the gentleman
from Tennesfee does not raise the question con
templated by the rnle. Thore must be some
specific objection made, and until such specific
objection bo made, there 1b nb occasion for tho
Senate to retire. , .
, The presiding officer said; It will be observed
that the rnle says, “If any objection arise; an
objection without reason for it hardly appears to
the Chair to be a question. The reason will do
Btated in writing, bo that the Chair may know
W Mr/washburne (lU.)-I hope the gentleman
from Tennessee will withdraw the objection.
Mr. Mulllns-No, sir. I cannot
Mr. Bumner I would inquire of the Chair
whether we cannot pass over the -conntof Louis
iana informally and procoed with the rest of the
C °Mr. t Wood— Go on regularly, Mr.
The Presiding Officer— No debate ia In order
until the reason for this objection Is presented.
Mr. Saulsbury— l call for the reason for the Oh-
moral suasion was In tho meantime
belDg brought to boar on Representative Mnllins
to induco him to withdraw his \Objectlan, but ■
without any effect, and ho sternly refused to
withdraw it.
A formal objection having been furnished to
him, It was sent to the Clerk’s desk and read as
follows: .
“I object to any count of the vote certifies
from the State of Louisiana, and raise the ques
tion In relation to It that no valid aloction of
electors for President and Vice President of the
United States has been hold In said State."
. The Presiding Officer—Objection being made,
the Senate wUlrettre to Its own chamber and de
liberate on the objection, according to the rub.
