To tine Editor of the DGaocRAr:-
 The case against Maurice Morialty for stealing load of hay was one of the most remarkable ever heard by the police court or th!s city. The evidence, though circum- stant1al, pointed toward Aoriarity as the gullty man, and yet his testimony was apparently honest and was without con tradiction in even the minutest details. He told the court of his whereabouts on Ihursday night and gave an account of the hay tou'ad in his barn. 1 am no friend nor oven acquaintance of Moriarty, but the thought suggested itself to me that per haPs tie gypsy band campad near Simons- rihe could explain the absence of MT Platts hay. The question naturally arises. how could Moriarity steal a load of hay inI the night, cart it to his barn and store it away without being detected by the police man on South Main street beat9

Of the several cities, as place for holding
the convention, It was at last decided that
the convention should be held in ST. Louis
on the 9TH day Of June. This decision was
bitter disappointment to the army of
politicians from California, who came TO
Washington to urge the selection Of San
Francisco as the place for-holdine the con-
vention. They made determined effort
to carry the day, and for time seemed
likely TO sncceed. but we're at last defeated
by combination entered into by the repre-
sentatlves of the interests of the Eastern
cities.
The bill providing for changing the day
for the Inauguration Of the President from
the 4th of March to April 30th is not likely
to be acted upon during the present session.
1t was called up in the Senate the other
day, and It was decided by a large majority
vote to postpone action ''indefnitely."
This is in effect, final disposition of the
bill and 1t is probable that we will continue
to inaugurate our Presidents on tho 4th Of
March. II.
