Charlcstown, S. G., May 3l.-The
trial of Gov. Moses for grand larceny,
which was set for Friday at Orange
burg, did not take place in conse-
ouence of the absence of the accused
The solicitor Of the State asked for a
warrant of arrest, but the court re-
fused it. Counsel for Moses then mo-
we'd to strike the case from the docket
on the ground that the Governor can
not be indicted and tried for any crime
before impeachment. The court re
served its decision aud postponed the
case until the next term, which meets
in October. This is regarded as sub
stantially a triumph for Moses.

Grasshopper Prediction.

Poof. Thomas, Of the Smithsonian lusti-
tu,e, who has made the subject Of the erase
hopper plague study for the government
for wears, has expressed the opinion that the
farmers Of the northwes: have little 10 fear
from a repetition of the present incursicn
next year. He Gays that their natural hab-
ita,ion and haiching place Is on the high
table lands of the plains, and that those
the prai,ie lands bordering the Missouri val.
ley produce n, bred the second year, and
their race ends. The chances are all against
a new incnrsion next year.
We find the above item going the rounds
of the paess. and We copy it for the purpose
of telling tie learned professor that he il
the victim of a soft delusion. We don't
profess to understand the grasshopper theo-
retically and scientifically, but We are &C.
quainied with him practically and person.
ally-we had an Introduction to him
several years ago-and upon the
very slightest acquaintance. he invited HIM
selfto come and zee us-brought along the
old woman and all the children, and remained
all summer, eating US out of house and home.
And did he die and leave no sign, Mr.. Pro-
f.ssor? Don't you believe word Of it
the man who told you that was trying to
make a foolish of you. He came TO time
next spring With all the vigor and APPETITE of a
half-srown boy, and his seed was more nuuer.
Gu. Than the seed Of Abraham. But he didn't
stay 20 long this time; he made it RICH!

vas waiting for hi, wirg, to grow, but a.

Transaction CT Business Under Disadvan-
tages.
An act was perpetrated by e1-Tressurer
Gee. s. Smith, last Friday. which will not
be apt to rebound to hi, glory and honor
among the majority of the people of Leav-
tnwcr,h county. His farm in Salt Creek
Valley. is in possession of Mr.. Thomas
Leonard, the legally appointed receiver.
While at the picnic at buchana's Grove,
on thursday Mr.. Leonard understood that
Smith purpo we'd shippirg the wheat in a
short time, which had been raised on the
place. lie visited the premises on Thurs
day evening, and sscertained that the re-
port WAS true. An eye was kept on the
movements thereabouts until the next morn
ing. The wheat bsd been put into sacks,
and on Friday morning, Mr.. Smith caused
them 10 be loaded into car. This was an
easy task, as the Kansas Central Railway
runs through his farm. After the wheat had
been loaded, Mr.. Leonard had the railroad
agent bill the wheat in his (Leonard's)
name. Mr.. Leonard then accompanied the
wheat TO this CITY. Hensley, Skelton d Co.,
who claimed that the grain was theirs,
brought suit OF replevin against the railrold
company. Mr.. Leonard then replevied the
wheat from the sheriff and the railroad COM
pany. TIE coroner took possession of the
wheat. A bond of redelivery was given to
the deferdants. Whist further ac.ion will be
taken, We are unable to state. Comment
would be entirely unnecessary. People are
able to form their own opinions in relation to
such matters.
