THE TRIAL OF WELLS AND AN
DERSuN

Dispatches state that the trial of Wells
and Anderson, who run the Louisiana
Returning Board. is set for the present
ERIN of Court in New Orleans. Able,
counsel are engaged for the prosecu.
ton and defense. and it is to be hoped
that no Efforts will be spared to settle
the vexed question Of who carried the
State of Louisiana ut the Presidential
election. 1t has been asserted. on good
authority, that the vote OF the State
rightfully belonged to Tilden, but that
he was cheated out of it by the Return
ing Board. Millions of good citizens
bslieve such to be the fact, and while
they 'concede, that Hayes. III many re-
speets, makes u good President. the
suspicion that he was not legally elect. d
prevents them from giving that cordial
endorsement to his Administration
which it would secure If the cloud was
removed from his title. The evidence
in the trial of Wells and Anderson, for
alleged conspiracy to change the result
OF the election, will undoubtedly be of
such a character as TO convince the
world that Hayes was entitled to the
eight electoral votes of Louisiana, or
that they were frauduleutiy given
him by the Returning Board. In the
former event. people will respect him
rs the rightful and legal mead of the
Government, in the latter it Will be his
plain duty to step down and out.

The people of California are having u
surfeit of politics and elections this
year. A month ago they had AN OK
citing campaign, e!ecting members OF
the Legislature and county officers. On
the l7th of this month they hold an
other election for judicial officers.
Apparently there Is but very little in-
tersst taken in the comiug election, aud
there was some doubt as to the day on
which 1t is to be held, until the Gov
ernor's proclamation settled the ques-
ton. The people of California separa-
ted theseieetion of state and county Of
hoers from that OF the Judiciary, hoping
thereby to keep the latter aloof from
politics and secure the election OF none
but competent men to Judicial posi-
tons. 1t is doubtful ii that desirable
result Can be attained in that manner,
Ms people take very little interest Ia the
judicial election, and their apathy at
tords political trlcksters opportunities
to run conventions and secure nomina-
