Election Frauds, &c.

Judge Hughes, of the United States Dis
trict Court, at Richmond yesterday. gave
special instructions to the grand jury in the
matter of the alleged election frauds which
that body is investigating. The Judge.
IN referring to the recent election in this
State, says that while the machinery where
with 1t was conducted was mainly supplied
ny the laws of the State. it was none the less
federal election, and all offences against q
1alr and free expression of the popular will
are punishable under the federal laws.
Alter quoting from the Revised Statutes in
support of this assertion. he instructed the
jury that if any of the persons whose cases
they were considering have comitted per-
jury or forgery. or given false certificates for
which they may be prosecuted under the
laws OF Virginia. then they were underline
circumstances named, as offences against the
united States, punishable under the sections
quoted.
These instructions, it is said, were given
by Judge Hughes to Offset the charge of
Judge Christian to the grand Jury of the
Hastings Court of Richmond, in which he
alluded to recent arrests made by the federal
and said that as far as offences
against State laws are concerned the United
states courts are, in contemplation of the
law, as much foreign courts as those held in
st. Petersburg or Vienna with no iurisdic-
tion whatever in cases of offences against
the State laws.
Yesterday evening the grand jury of the
United States Circuit Court returned with
true bill of indictment against William H.
i!alman, one of the parties charged with
forgery, etc., in connection with the supple.
mental assessment lists. Several other EN-
ployees in the commissioner of revenues of.
hce at Richmond are under arrest on similar
charges

THE GARFIELD commission has allowed
the doctors who attended the late Prcsi-
dent S27 500 for their services, which is $3.50
q day. Most people, doctors included, think
that would have been ample remuneration
for curing the patient by finding the ball
and removing it, and that right-thinking
doctors, after allowing the ball TO remain
il the patient for months, provoking the
formation Of pus, which finally poisoned his
blood and Killed hiL,, would not have had
the face to present any claim for surgical
attendance. But the Garfield doctors not
being men Of that sort, are not satisfied with
the award, and think about applying to
Congress for a larger sum. The brass age
has come again.

and held one third OF the estate Of Virginia
not only without her consent, but expressly
against tn. provisions of the Constitution OF
the country the least the Government could
do would be to pay her for the same, and
there is no better time for it TO do this than
the present, when she is in sad need of the

vivcd all the assaults of the opposition and
is booming to-day more than any other

fair to continue to prosper, and to build
up its industries, despite the petty assaults
of the 'fly on the horn of the OK. AT the

for themselves what is being done and as
sist in making this very important branch
of our school system great success.
Let no teacher of this county, who has
desire for improving his character and
reputation as a teacher, and for advancing
tie interests OF himself and his profession.
be absent from this Institute.
School Boards throughout the county
can afford to close their school for week
and give their teachers the time for attend
ing the Institute, as it fits them so much
the more efficiently to do their work, and
to more than make up for the time lost
from school.
The day sessions will be held in the
High School room, and will be devoted to
the discussions Of methods and subjects of
particular interest to teachers.
The evening lectures, which will be of q
popular character, and OF general interest
will, through the kindness of the trustees
OF the Baptist church, be held in that
house and to these we especially invite
our citizens.

Superintendent, nor thought best to under,
take entirely free entertainments but ar
rangements have been made at the Ma

for reduced rates to teachers besides, as
entertainment for sufficient number
could not be obtained at these places, the

to provide for good number, by furnish.

to provide free lodging.
