| PALTRY.-Some individual busted him
self in reporting the sheriff and county at
torney to the governor, because party
for whom a warrant had been issued, got
wind of the affair and left the country be-
fore he could be arrested. Now, the fact
of the matter was, that the complaining
witnesses, by their own garrulity, had, the
affair noised all over town even before the
complaint was made, and it would be very
singular if the party for whom the warrant
was issued, did not leave when his name
and alleged crime were town talk. We
are glad 10 say, however, that no injustice
has been done to either the sheriff or the
county attorney, as the attorney general, to
whom the matter was referred, is fully sat
isfed that personal spite prompted the
charges, and he fully exonerates the officials
from all blame.
