That eminent patriot. j. Madison Wells,
is in trouble again. \ criminal prosecu-
ton has been commenced I'll New Orleans
against him and other members of the Re
turning Board, charging them with hay
ing on the 4th of December, 1876, falsely
and feloniously uttered and published as
true the altered forged and counterteitcd
election returns for Presidential electors
from the Parish Of Vernon at the election
OF November last, by adding l5S votes to
| each of the Hayes electors and deducting
:1S5trom each OF the ridden electors Wells
and kenner surrendered themselves to the
sheriff and baled at $1,000 each Amber
son and Casnave will surrender themselves
and furnish the required bonds.
The Washington correspondent of the
Boston Post telegraphs TO that paper con-
corning the prosecution of the Returning
Boards as follows
The indictment of the members of the late
Louisiana Returning Board for fprgeres III con
nrcton with the returns OF Vernon parish La.
has caused more agitation in official circles here
than appears on the surface, and some interesting
disclosures are likely to follow. Information has
been received here to-day that the indictments
have been nslgated by Marshal Pitkin and ex
Coy. Packard, who propose thereby to get re-
venge for personal grievances The friends here
| of Pitkin and Packard advised that Pitkn
possesses copies or originals of all dispatches sent
to the Returning Board during the progress of the
| count by the Republican National Committee and
| that these impEcate Sherman. Mccormick Zach
Chandler and Garfield, and show concusivclv that
| the Returning Board was instructed to steal the
| vote of the State tor Hayes at any hazard and
without regard to actual count The proof against
| Sherman and Garfield is said to be sufficiently
| damning To warrant the Impeachment Of the for
| mer and the expulsion from the House of the lat
| ter. Packard also has documentary proof to show
| that many other returns besides those of Vernon
| parish were tempered with and forged The OBJ
Ject of the indictments is to secure a trial when

A cable despatch says the head Of the
army OF Russians is missing at Turnova.
Its forward movement is impcdcd by the
necessity Of establishing Il depot for sup

already clearing Bulgaria of supplies
MANCHESTER, July 9. The Guardian S
London correspondent understands that
the government has information that the
Russians intend to occupy Constantine
pie unless the Turks anticipate by max
ing peace on the Cars terms.
The effect of the receipt of this and
other intelligence as to the Russian in
tentions has been to modify very con-
siderably the view taken Of the crises by
certain members of the Cabinet The
practical outcome will probably be that
If the more energetic members should
feel bound to adopt an active policy they
Will no longer be opposed by their col
leagues hitherto disposed to caution
1t is reported that powerful reinforce
ments will be sent to the squadron in Be
Ska Bay.
CONSTANTINoPLE, July 9. The Sultan

Augusta was treated, on the Fourth to
Il rare display Of fireworks. A small boy
went into the store of Clapp, dealerin those
inlammable articles, and laid his light
ed ''spunk' on the counter while he in
vested a dime in crackers. The journal
gives the following description of the re
sulting explosion
The clerks rushed to scrape the fire
works from the counter, which was but a
few feet from the display window, to pre-
vent general explosion, but quick as
lightning a rocket plunged into the win
dow, and for q minute there was lively
work. Those who saw the window, at a
safe distance, from the outside, describe
it as one of the finest scenes they ever
witnessed. Pin wheels were buzzinp at
a two forty gait, mines were blowing up,
Roman candles were blazing, serpents
were marking their fiery train along the
floor and counters, and every individual
piece of fireworks was struggling to do its
best to add to the tremendous noise that
was then and there being made Those
near by when the fireworks burst through
the window on to the sidewalk, some of
the rockets striking the stores on the OPP
posite side, describe the noise as similar
to that made by the bursting of cannon,
or that it sounded like huge building
tumbling down. The explosion lasted
about one minute.
