was not privilege of citizen of the

therefore, for the denial OF such

ana Harry May, the book agents who
were arrested some time sin1e on the
charge OF swindling the publishers OF
the work entitled "rhe Polar and
Tropical Worlds" came of yesterday,
aud resulted In verdict OF not guilty.
The facts developed In the case go
To show that Carhart and May were
not guilty OF the charge; that they
never collected the money charged to
them, and Mr.. Bope informs us that
they never borrowed the money of
him as was alleged. AS the matter
now stands, II looks very much rs
though the whole affair was a
scheme on the part Of the pre-
tended publisher, Mr. Watrous, to
play u game OF blackmail upon these
two men, rs he offered TO settle the
Affair after the arrests had been made,
II the accused parties would pay him
the sum OF 81 400. No attention was
paid to that proposition, and Watrous
repeated 1t, offering the second time TO
settle II for less than nne.half of the
amount claimed against them, This
second proposition was also trel ted
with contempt, and the case came to
trial yesterday and resulted AS above
stated.
