What Has Become Of Mayor Left.
wiCh's Chsrges7

In an editorial in the APPEAL Oi
Yesterday, commenting on the Board
Of Aldermen, and their recent squab-
bles, the question wasasked what had
become of the charges recently made
by Mayor LeftWich and Alderman
MOfet. We are requested by the lat
ter TO say that the claws delay" is
the only reason why the public has
not been told all about the charges.
Whenever the Grand Jury report, the
whole matter viii be in q shape for
the citizens to judge for themselves
whether the accused are guilty or not.
Alderman Nofet says he holds him
self in readiness TO make good his
promise Of a full exposure, so soon as
it can bedOne without interfering with
the investigations of the Grand Jury.
Meanwhile we are able to announce,
though not authOritatiVely, Of course,
but with q certainty Of being correct,
that an indictment has been found
against at least n member Of the
Board, and others would also have
already been indicted but for the
efforts Of q certain cOterie Of wOuld-be
dpeace-makers." They are, however,
net that character Of "peace-makers"

Book that they are blessed but
another sort who are interested in the
covering over of such little dere-
Lotions as bribery, etc. Their efforts
have only been partially successful.
These matters are Of too great magni-
tude to be clOaked over by any clique
or party.
We are informed that the reason
why the Grand Jury have not pre-
sented more than one of the number
50 far, is the fact that they were not
thoroughly posted on the laws relat-
ing TO bribery and corruption. This
difficulty has been obviated, Judge
Hudson having called the Jury down
yesterday morning and charged them
fully on all points. The whole affair
was then Tecommitted to them, and
under the charge the "peace-makers,' y
some Of them, have a very good
chance Of seeing their names figure in
the Jury's report. Meanwhile the
public, knowing that the Jury is do
ing all in its power, and using all
haste consistent with so grave an in
vestjgatiOn, must be content to bide
its time with patience.
