The Senatorial contest in New York now being waged in the Leg islature at Albany, presents. several' .-cry ritiionlotu! ThG.Repub iican member-a of both houses im mediately upon the nominatilin by the President of General Robertson to le collector of the Port of New York, unanimously indorsed his nomination, and . recyrnmended that the Senate confirm his appointment. The two Senator* representing Ne York in the Senate Of the United States object to Mr. Robertson's con firmation, , refuse to obey the ex .-pressed. will of the people they were in duty bound to represent as indi cated through their representatives at Albany, quarrel with . the 'Presi dent because be will not withdraw Mr. RobertsOn's nornination, and wish their fellow Senators because they would not refuse 'to confirm him, • and • - In an outburst of indignant paEsion resign their • seats and go back to Albany for a vindication of ilbtaltf oat ;:t Inn s. I -highest vote Mr. Platt has been able<to obtain out of a total of 103 is . 29.-- In other words, there are fl 9 Republican members against ,Mr. Conkling's return , to the Senate and 34 in favor. There are 74 members _against Mr. flat(" — return to the Sen ate and 29 in favilr. In the case of Mr. Colliding 34 :ii - ietniers have stul tified lbeir recerd recommending Mr. Robertson's confirmation, and 2'i have EA) done in the easel of Mr. Platt. The resigning Senators fail ed to dictate the President, fitiled to control their fellow Senators and de feat Mr. Robertson'S confirmation and-have signally failed of a vindica tion by their Legislature. Every Republican member voting fox them stultifies himself. Could the situa lion be made more ridiculous?

It will be the duty of all good- citizens to see that the law is respected and enforced There,are practices rife in the'Re publican 'organization of Bradford county in respect to procuring nomi nations to offiice, that Republicans ought not to tolerate. The practice of using money to influence delegate elections, the purchase of delegates to misrepresent their coastituents in county txmainating conventions, the practice of a multiplicity of can didates for important offices traf ficking on their delegates in the county convention, the Stronger buy ing off the weaker, and paying a con sideration in order to secure a com bination of strength to effect a pore- Motion. These things have been shamelessly done: Men professing leadership in the party have given aid- and encouragement to these demoralizing practices. llt is time the public conscience :became stirred with a moral sense of decency and propriety in respect to these' things, and men should frown upon and re ject the leadership of those • who are known to be guilty of practicing them. Nominations fairly made, upon honest principles of represen tation, unless the nominee is found to be incapacitated or morally tainted by corruption and dishonesty, bind adherents of Republican principles to the support of the candidate. But purchased nominations bind nobody. We have' in our mind now, men wefi known in the county, who have trafficked in delegates for years. Not only this, but they have traffick ed away to the opposite party the suc cess of Republican candidates fairly nominated, for a consideration in money. We give notice in time, that if men of this class are forced upon the ticket this fall as candidates for office, we shall ask the Republi cans of the county to defeat them at the polls. In the interest of politi cal integrity and decency it is the duty of Republicans to set their fa ces like steel against the promotion of such men to official position. Neither our vote nor the service of the REIT/1L1C?43 will be given, either for the nomination of such men- - or for their success at the polls if.nomi noted. We own ourself and pro pose to exert our influence earnestly for the correction of existing abuses in this regard. Good nominations fairly made by our party will receive our most cordial and hearty support. We entertain an abiding affection and attachment for the living prin ciples of the Republican party in j;ioik;GOidly'byanti nee the gill party and its principles dishonored, and defeated by the disreputable practices of men. who traffic upon the influences they are. enabled to wield through the corrupting - use of money. This practice has so corrupted our primary elections and 'nominating conventions that it has become a dis gusting political stench- ; in the nos trils of fair-minded citizens. It is not too late for men who have been drawn into it by the . 'influence of bad leaders, to correct' the abide by refraining to further be influent-. el by them. ,_lieep aloof, a . . 54 square ly and openly from honest motives for the right, and a good conscience will be your reward. The law referred to will be rigidly enforced against offenders. Those who dare to disregard it will look fine and imprisonment squarely in a., num. ror once we shall hope that the choice of the_ majority of the party fairly expressed will pre vail in our nominating convention. To the other complications sur rounding the Senatorial struggle in the New York Legislature, is added the charge preferred by Representa tive Bradley of Olean, N: Y., against Senator Sessions of Chautauqua, of attempted bribery. Mr, Bradley claims to havp received s2,ooo'from. Senator Sessions as a consideration for changing his vote from Conk ling to Depew. He deposited the money with Speaker Sharpe, and ex posed the transaction on the floor of the House. Mr. ' Bradley swears positively that the money was paid him by Mr. Sessions, and Mr. Ses aimia sus positively denies if,. Wino, the outcome may be we venture no opinion. - - General Grant has been interview ed again, and reiterates - SOW very foolish talk regarding the Conkling and Platt fight with the administra tion. He asserts the'right of a;Sen ator to control all appointment's in his State, and the duty of his fellow Senators to - act in accordance with his wishes in rejecting or con firming such nominations: This enough. The country wants no more of such foolishness. This is the full ineasure,of Stalwartism in politics. Is Secretary Blaine a staliart or a lialf-breed ? 77 ' 75 A suit'against the estate - of the lute Ata Packer has been instituted in the Orphatt'S Court, in Philfulelphia, in which a share of the estate amounting to more than $2,000,000 is claimed for the heirs of - Barnabas Hatumett_and Joseph Noble who formerly composed• the coal mining firm of Noble, Hammel & CO. The claim dates froin a contract made on Feb. 1, 1853, when Mr. Packer was working hard to build the Lehigh Valley road. He izas deeply in debt and obliged to raise money in every honorable way he could. 152 77 MR. BRADLEY FINDICA TED AT HOME. The Olean - (N. Y.) Daily Tune", of June iltb, Elblislift the following defense of the private character Hon.' Samuel H. .Bradley, the member from Gittaraugns county, residing at Olean, who claims to have been paid $2,000, by Senator Sessions to influ ence hismote for U. S. Senator, as a member of the New Yorli Legislature: Since .the startling denotement on Ttalisday in tile Assembly chambei at Albany, certain newspapers have sought to pour zentempt on Mr. Bradley by allosions to his character and past 4hile some things said have a color of ruth and - a basis in fac ., ,yr . others are *holy gratuitous • and utterly fise. Mr. Bradley has'never sought to cover up anything. When quite a • young man he, like thousands of young men, led a fast life and became addicted to the use of intoxicating *inks. That was many years ago. When be reach ed man's estate he put sway childish follies . and dissipations. Let this stand to his credit. Let it ra t• be brought against him at this lite day to degrade and belittle him in the eyes of the peo ple. His reformation cost him a strug gle and be went through it manfully and heroically and came off victorious. clod, pity the venomous pens that are trying to write him down on the ground of his former disipated habits. He has been for many years a total ab starter and conducted.himself in all respects in an honorable, neright man ner, Ho hies been engaged,in a legiti mate busines, that of producing oil, and bas given it his whole time and at tention. In this manner be has acquir ed a handsome fortune and is placed above temptation from the money pow ei of either lobbyists or corporations. Previous to the developments in the Bradford oil field, Mr. Bradley was en gaged in business in Cincinnati and New Orleans, and_ at a still earlier per iod'he entered the Union army and . im periled his life in his country's service. To this day he bears in his pensini the t•cars which brand him a patriotic citi zen and heroic soldier. It is useless therefore, to : . deny to him all the ele ments of manly character. It is famous for the Republican press to re fer in such; contemptuous terms to his earlier career and in this manner try to manufsetere s hostile public sentiment against him. His townsmen and the citizens of Cattarraugus county know him. for just • what •he is, and they believe in him. They, honor him. _They confide in hie integrity of pur pose and character. Twice-has Olean sent him to the county legislature. A year ago the Olean Fire Department ,Elected him Chief Engineer. Last Fall•the voters of the First Assembly District of Cattaraogns county decid- ed that be should go to Albany. There wax no division of the -party on his nomination or on the question of • his election. His majority was not quite what it ;would have been had not the Democrats and a few Republican mal contents quietly worked against him, pnrsnading some that he. was 'yet a drunker], and on the other band array ing• the whole liquor interest of the district against him by . representations of his stubborn and unalterable hostili ty to their tracffic. &But he W 149 elect ,.,:tittteratatirtimit t'firsal the lying representations that are Made made against this man's integrity and foriner character. Whatever may be the result of the investigation at Al bany (and we believe it - will not be un favorable to Mr. Bradley) it ' will nev ertheleEs remain true that his record for the put _dozen or fifteen years is one that he may well be proud-of: The folloWing ticket was chosen by the Republicans of Ohio, in convention June Bth, all but Richards and Long worth being renominations: Governor .Charlea Foster.

The platform adopted indorses the Adminiatration of President Garfield and of Cloveruor Foster, congratulating the latter on the successful refunding of the State debt ut a rate less than 34 per cent. interest. The temperance plank is as follower - ; Resolved, That ; the pablic interests re quire that the General Aisembly,should submit to a vote of the• people such amendments to the Constitution of the State relative to the manufacture, sale and use of intoxicating liquors as shall leave the whole matter to Legislation.

We have a gr - eit people. Our conventions are gathere4 from all parts of our 'broad State, brought here as free men. There r ever has been; and there never will be, room for a primate or boss." °He congratulated the-people on the .successful financial measures adopted by cretary Windarn of the Treasury, saying: "The. financial policy of the last Ad ministration has been supplemented by the redaction - of' the rate of interest on stiho,ooo,ooo of the public- securities,' from 5 and 6 per cent . to 3l per cent.

If it be found that they ire false then let.

Ithink in the interest of decency the Legislature should adjohin until sometime in. October, go home, learn what they want or should do, then go to Albany and elect Senators. .'The Virginia situation. is coming in for a good share of attention here now, and there are many speculations as to what the Administration will do to aid the Iteadjusters and the straight Re- publicans.

Authori ties, it is reported, shake their heads over these performances. . . . But to the out sider it would certainly seem as if the chief ground of complaint is that the new-comers do dot p* the game according Ito the old rules, and that this (alleged) irregular mode of procedure tends to lessen the status of th e ' engraver as - ,10 artist. :False or-thee, this, may fairly be advanced,_ has nothing what ever to do with thS matter, as far, at least, as the public are concerned. For them the questiOn is, simply and solely, What ii the result, obtained? The new school, availing themselves largely of the assistance of photo graphy, are able to dispense, in a , great measure, with the old tedious method of drawing on the block, and to leave the artist to choose what medians he - prefers for his design—be it oil, water-color; or black and white—concerning themselves (mkt to re produce its characteristics -on the, Wood. This is, of course, a deviation from the method of Bewick. But - would Bewick liave adhered to his method in these days? Even in his last hours he was seeking for new pro cesses. What we want is to get nearest ,to the artist himself with the least amount of interpretation or intermediation on the part of ,the engraver. Is engraving on copper to be reproduced. we want . a fac-simile if pos sible, and not a rendering . into something witch is supposed to be the - orthodox utter ance of wood-engraving. . . . It is ;motto bejwOndered at thet'tbe pablic, who, for a few pence, can have practical fac-similes of Blake, of Crniksluink, or of Whistler, are loud in their appreciation of the 'new Ameri can school.' lior are its successes confined to reproduction in fee-simile. Those who look at the exqui-ite' illustrations in 'Scrib ner' to the 'Tile Club at Play,' to Roe's 'Suc cess with Smill Fraits,''and Harris's 'lnsects Injurious to Vegetatian,'—to "say nothing of the selected specimens in the recently, issued `Portfolios,'—Will see that the lat eat comer.; can hold their own on all fields -with aoy school that his gone before." . . An unusually. interesting group of pictures will appear'in the July Scrilnier, in an article by Mr. W. C. Brownell. of "The Nation," on "The Younger Painters of Ambrica." The first picture is by Mr. Sargent, a pupil of Cirolus Duran, who • has just taken a prize in the French Salon. e Then follow Maynird's - por trait of Frank 1). Millet, and pictures by Tiff any,- Dough's Volk, Maria it. Oakey, Mrs. Whitman, Miss Bartol, Miss Knowlton, and Miss Cassatt. Among the notable pictures in this number is a portrait of Dr. Dellinger, by the famous Lenbach, of Munich.
