A reporter Of the DEMOCRAT called upon
Gov. Nichols at his residence last evening,
for the purpose of asking his opinion about
the arrest of Sheriff Houston by Deputy Mar
shall Wurzburger and his ideas on the issue OF
the Returning Board case. The Governor
said he was under the impression, since the
morning, that Wells & Co were hiding in the
Custom House, but was entirely ignorant of
the fact that steps had been taken for their
arrest in that place until informed of what
had occurred at the Custom III o,ise.
His Excelency prefers to wait for the reply
from Washington to the telegraphic message
OF the Attorney General before giving any
opinion in this matter.
Whether Sheriff Houston would have had
the right of retaliating by arresting the
deputy marshal, is delicate question, on
which the Governor would not venture to ex-
press an opinion before consulting the law
He thinks that the members of the Returning
Board will certainly be brought to trial.
The Governor not having yet been at leisure
to examine the points in controversy, it is his
intention, in the course of the night, to look
up the law and facts that can throw any light
on the subject.
His Excelency evidently not seeming in
clined to say anything more in regard to these
matters, the reporter withdrew convinced
from the manner OF the Executive, that he
would see that everything will turn out all
right in the end.
