There was no appeal to higher court, be.

offences, and twice have been discharged.
AT the hearing before Justice Crew Mr.
Cabell stated as his opinion, In open court,
that there was not sufficient evidence against
me upon which to found a charge. The
jury which afterwards tried me, composed
of the best and most respectable business
men In the city, unanimously rendered q
verdict In my favor. They heard all the
facts and listened attentiyely to the state

Editors Dispatch,-Observing in the paper
of this morning that there is probability,
at least, of having fountain erected in
Shockoe Slip, 1 venture to offer suggestion.
A serious objection to all Of the varieties OF
asphalt pavements is that no openings
made in them for gas and water.pipes, or
other purposes, can be repaired without
causing an ugly deformity and presuming
that the pavement now being laid in this
slip can be no exception to this popularity
it is suggested that The water-pipes necessary
to supply the water to the fountain and to
carry of the waste water be laid before the
spaces to be thus occupied be laid down, for
unless this is done there will surely be one,
if not two, ugly grooves in the pavemen,
when relaid over these pipes. MECHANIC.

LOCAL MATTERS.

A MISSING SENAToR.-DiIlgent search has
been made in this city for Mr.. George w.
Graham, senator from the Nottoway dis
trct, who is wanted in Washington to testi-
fy relative to the cadetship sold by Hon. W.
Il. H.. StoWell. Mr. Graham In the early part
of the last campaign was candidate against
Mr.. Stowell for the Republican nomination
for Congress in the Fourth district. 1t was
then that he accused Mr.. Stowell ofreceiying
Si,700 to appoint young Schoolcraft to the
Naval Academy at Annapolis. The two were
at that time at enmity. Subsequently re-
Cancellation was effected, and Mr., Graham
denied the assertions previously made by
him. DR.. Beattie, of Henrico, who Is
the guardian of Cadet Schoolcraft, de-
clares that he paid MIR. Graham the $1,700.
1t will be, therefore, seen that DIR. Graham
is a highly important witness. He left here
week or ten days ago, and after he was
gone leave Of absence was gotten for him.
He told his friends that he intended to visit
Washington, and expressed not only a
readiness but an earnest desire to 60 before
the investigating committee. There were
rumors afoat yesterday that Mr.. Graham
was concealed in house on Broad street.
There was, however. no verifcation of that
statement. 1t would seem the height OF
folly for him to long expect to elude those
who are seeking to serve upon him peremp.
tory order to appear before the congress
sional committee--if, indeed, that is his pur.
pose in obscuripg himself from public view.
