About six days after this let ter was received Mrs. Likens was dis charged. It Is charged that this letter was unlawfully opened, and that there was a. conspiracy; that this letter went into the hands of Chief Armstrong Mrs. Dwyer, Mullins and Governor Waite, and was used against Mrs. Likens.

 Mr. Rhodes, for the prosecution,ask "when will you be ready, governor"
 q am ready, now," the governor re- piled.
 T will ask that the case be set for a hearing on Thursday, so that we can have our witnesses here," continued MT. Rhodes, "and would suggest that bail be placed at $5,00O."
 With an excited air the governor sprang from his chair and paced back and forth.
 T will not give ball." suddenly ex- claimed he. q am the governor of this state, and these proceedings are had to interfere with me in the administra- tion of my office. I will not give bail; you may send me to jail"
 "I ask your honor to issue mitti- mus," said MT. Rhodes, 'but I have no objection to the governor giving his own recognizance in the sum of $5,- 0O0." -...--.
 The governor interrupted the pro- ceedings several times. He denied in his statement having had the letter He said letter addressed to Mrs Likens, was read to him,and that 1t asked that mistress be furnished. He denied that he made use of it as a basis for the dismissal of Mrs. Likens. %. .."..~
 MT. Rhodes said: ITO show to you that we have some foundation for these charges will hand you the written statement of Chief Armstrong, who says he got the letter from you."
 Armstrong is mistaken" the gover- nor answered.
 The amount of the governors bail was finally reduced to $1OO, and the others were released on their personal recognizances.
 Prominent populists say it is politi- gal scheme on the part of the anti Waite men to injure the governor polit- eally.
