II Was Perjury.

Petersburg Index-Appeal.
The reason why the Grand Jury did not iR-
dict Senator Kellogg and others In connection
with the Star Routes is said to be that every
witness offered was blackmailer, a thief, or
already under Indictment for crlme. The
testimony was strong enough, and direct
enough, but the quality was bad.

NAT MCKAY says in a communication to
the New York Herald that he "was build
ing ships when Mr.. Robeso, was country
lawyer in New Jersey !" We will gve five
dollars reward for an authenticated photo.
graph of one of the ships that Nat built.
Perhaps Nat has mistaken himself for his
brother. He is liable to large mistakes.

A NEW ORLEANS paper expresses curios-
ity to know what occupation John Walsh
will take up next" We presume he will
be employed by George Jones on the staff
of the vile and venal New York Times. 1t
is difficult to see how the V. aad V. can get
along without him and maintain its estab.
lished reputation.

MEN who actually intend to do great
bodily harm to other men do not as rule
advertise their intention. But when they
that repeated threats, uttered by person
Of notoriously bad or dangerous character,
may be viewed IS an assault and tho per-
son threatened may proceel as if actually
assailed vi ct armis. But Ia Justification of
such proceeding it must be shown that the
person threatened actually believed him
self to be placed in great bodily peril by
the threats. and there must be also proof
that the person threatening bore such a
character, from his previous acts, as to
justify such belief"

In ORDER to correct what seems to be
prevalent misapprehonsion among the news
paper correspondents we will explain that
the question under discussion yesterday
and to-day before Judge Wylie was
not whether John Walsh could be believed
under oath, but whether his testimony
could be admitted under the iules of evil
dence. The latter was question to be
decided by the court. The former is a
question for the jury. The question
whether Walsh can bo believed under oath
has not yet been presented to the petit jury.
1t was the Grand Jury that recently de.
cided that question, so far as its operations

BLISS says he did say that "if he had
been n Grand Juror he woul have voted to
indict," but AYERS that he "intended no
reflection upon the Grand Jury by that
statementw When you come to look at it
right Bliss was really compllmenting the
Grand Jury. 1t is in the nature of certifi-
cate of good character to any man to say
that he did the reverse of what George
Bliss would have done in any premises in
volving honor. But probably Bliss did not
take that view of it. His compliment was
simply inadvertent.

THERE is some curiosity to know in what
direction Gibson will begin his next job.
The one he has been working on for the last
two years has failed, and it is folly to sup.

The society gossips have not yet found
out where the President intends to summer.
But they don't intend to get left. They
are now engaged in enumerating all the
summer resorts, and asserting that the
President has "taken apartments" at every
one of them. This i, a slow way but it
will probably be sure, provided the list of
resorts is complete.
