WELLS WILL APPEAL TO HAYES

Neto Orleans Times, July2. ....,..
AS soon as these preiiminsries are set
Tied. Ex-Governor Wells aud General An
dtr'on will leave for Washington, where
they viii lay before the President the action
Of the grand jury. They will then make an
appeal to the eRepublicsn party, claiming ethat
with the present state of ieeling against.
them, and with the courts constituted as
they now are, they will have little or no
chance tor fair hearing. As far as could
be gathered from Governor Wells, the plan
To- be pursued in the event of indictments
being found was discussed fully during the
last visit of Anderson to the city. They
seemed to have the impression that as the
President owed his position to them, in a
great measure, he was bound to see that
they were protected if possible. To an in
curry as TO what the President could do for
tDem, Governor Wells said that If 1t became
imparatively necessary the President might
| abandon his southern policy, unite all the
elements OF the Republican party, and en-.
deavor by some means TO secure the recog-
milton Of the Ludeling Supreme Court as
| the legal Supreme Court OF the state.
With the Ludeling Supreme Court, Gov.
| Wells thought that the retaining board
members would have ample protection. As
wild and as impossible as such scheme
appears 1t has undou btedly been discussed
seriously by Wells and Anderson. Can II
be that they have it in their power to COM
| pei the President to take such pronounced
action in their behalf? Perhaps there are
dark secrets connected with the manner in
which the President reached the White
House, unknown it may be to the President
| which prominent politicians dare not per-
NIT the light to shine upon. There is one
thing very certain, and that is that il Gov
ernor Wells and General Anderson are moi
handled very tenderly in Washington, they
will make such a rumpus that there will b.
rattling of dry bones in high places
Among few knowing politicians in custom
house circles. Governor Nichols is quoted
as having opposed any action against tht
returning board members, not because h,
did not think they were guilty of crimina
acts, but because he thought that no benefi
could arise to the state by the prosecution
of these men. He is quoted as saying tina
the acts of these men belong to a politica
past which the people are more ANXIOUS u
forget Than 10 recall.

a LiGHT-FlNGnkED GENT ON TRIAL
1l 81 L1QCoK CASES. .f
When the Squire opened his criminal
court, last evening, Constable Hickman
brought IN iight-hngered gent OF thin
form and Sallow complectien, who gave
his tame as George Livingston and bis
residence as Washington, d. G. N. L.
Janney, a produce dealer doing business
at Third and King streets, under Odd
Fellows Hall, testified to the following
circumstances:
On June Both the defendant came to his
place of business aud purchased two
quarts of berries, for which he rendered
he desired the change In ten, five and
three-cent pieces, so that he could "play
euehre with the boys
To make the change Mr.. Janney pro-
duced a tin box, which according to his
count, made only short time previous,
contained $38 and som cents in small
change, and emptied the contents upon
the stand. He then began to pick out
| the required change, and his customer
kindly assisted him by sorting out the
quarters and halves, and pushing them to
one side. Mr. Janney noticed that the
stranger occasionally stepped backward,
| and turned around, looking up and down
the street, and once he thought he saw a
few coins concealed In the palm of the
mans hand. Not being certain, however
he gave the man his change, and the
latter departed, but on counting his
money, directly afterwards Mr.. j. found
himself S5.97 cents short.
He then procured warrant for the
mans arrest, and yesterday he saw the
culprit, whom he at once pointed out to
Constable Hickman. The Constable
made the arrest, and the trial came of
last evening, as above stated.
Livingston, after hearing the evidence
of Mr.. Janney, offered to restore the
missing money and pay all the costs il
the case was settled, and told the Squire
he should not lose anything in this event
The Squire told bin the charge was Z
fel ony, and that he would have to tall
to the States Attorney about settle
ment. The accused was then held IL
$500 bail for appearance at Court, and il
default of bail was committed to New
Castle.
/ Livingston also played his little gam,
an Mr.. Lawrence Messick, S. w. corne
of Third and King streets, but Mr.. M
] does not know the extent of his loss
which, however, was light.
Catharine Stannard, for committing al
, assault and battery upon Edward Green
! by hitting him with brick on July 4th
was fined six cents and costs, amounting
to about So, and held in $500 bail to keeJ

JUDGE AND GRAND JURORS
OUARRELING

BALTIMORE July 6.-It will be re-
membered that on Saturday last the
grand jury of the Baltimore County
Circuit Court presented two of the
Judges, manly Richard Grason and G..
Yellott, for malfeasance in office and
obstructing Investigations then being
made by the grand jury by refusing to
extendsthe term of the Court. To-day
another step was taken in this unfortu-
nate matter, State warrant being is
sued for the arrest-of General John S.
Berry, foreman of the late grand jury,
on the oath of Judge Yellott, charging
General Berry with perjury in making
false presentments against himself and
Judge Grason. General Berry gave
bail for his appearance to answer the
charge at the September term of court.
This difficulty between the grand jury
and the Judges of the Baltimore CouH-
ty Court is a subject Of. comment and
discussion throughout the State and is
everywhere most deeply regretted as a
very unfortunate affair.

One cannot help feeling deep regret
at the defeat of Montenegro. That gallant
little kingdom has at last been overrun
and its chief city taken. But this is not
necessarily conquest. There is no stra-.

as strong for mountain fighting as ever.
