THE MISSING LINK.
Further Information Concerning the Missing Portion of the Grand
 Jury HenOPt

That portion of the Grand Jury report yet unified, is still occupying prominent place in the minds and thoughts of the people. It was expected that MT. Carr would promptly file the report, when he learned of the almost unanimous demand made for 1t by the people of this city. So far however, he has failed to do so and from the present appearances il looks us though he intended taking tue bit between his teeth and making break that himself and friends would long be sorry for Yesterday gentleman in this city recelv- ed letter from the late foreman of the grand jury, from which we are permitted to take the following extract:
 "I did fail to file or hand into the court a committee report, and shall hand it to the court at the proper time, but certainly shall take no advice as to my actions in the matter from any one. * think know my duty in the matter fully as well as some of my would-be advisors"
 From the above it will be seen that Mr. Carr intends to freeze on to the document for some time longer.
 In order 10 keep abreast of the popular demand for information concerning that famous Grand Jury report, an EPITAPu reporter girded on his interviewing armor yesterday and tackled Mir. Alexander Wight, a member of the late Grand Jury. Meeting Mir. Wight at Hart's gun shop, the reporter sung out: MT. Wight, might you have copy of the Grand Jury report on the Recorder and Court Clerks offices in your pocket ? If so, you will oblIge me by letting me have look at it for few moments.
 MIR. WIGHT-I am just as anxious as you are to see that report. l was chair man of the committee that investigated the offices named, and turned over the report of the committee to Mir. l.. w. Carr, the foreman of the Grand Jury, and have not seen it since.
 REPoRTER-Do you know the substance of the report?
 Mir. W.-Yes, sir; it was very favorable 10 MT. Jones, the Recorder. His office was found to be conducted on business principles; his books kept in good shape, and everything properly arranged The Clerks office was found 10 be exactly the contrary. and eXtortiOnate fees charged in every instance. The committee examined six lawyers, and all of them swore to pay ing outrageous fees, and it was our opinion that thorough, systematic investigation should ba made and the Clerk indicted
 R.-Had you any conversation with MT. Carr on the subject?
 Mir. W.-Yes, sir; l, requested to be sworn and examined myself, as I could testify to paying extortionate fees but Carr showed that he had a job put up with Seamans, for he said that the latter ex- plained away that matter.
 R-TheD, why didn't the grand jury take hold of the matter bodily. the fore man counted but one?
 MT. Wit was understood by the grand jury that report should be made to the Court calling for the removal of Seamans, and on that condition we let the matter drop. We thought if he was regularly indicted he would freeze on to the office for several months more and rake in many more dollars that he was not legally en- titled to. Under these circumstances, when Carr suggested calling on the Court for his immediate removal, without indict- ment, we thought it better to let it go that way
 R.-Had you any communication with Mr. Carr since?
 Mr. W.-Yes; wrote to him for the report d few days ago, and he said he could not give it, but would send me copy l am, therefore, expecting a copy daily, and when it comes I will let you see it.
 R-ls that all you know about the matter?
 Mir. What is all Good evening
