When a man is indicted and re mains iu the county, the indict ments aro stolen. If he leaves, the undertakings aro stolen. A party will go before tho grand jury and swear lo a statement, then tome in to court and testily that the state ment to Ihe grand jury was false, compelled another through threats and duress. And now the grand jury returns 'not a true bill' against the man who used the threats and compelled the false swearing. The court is not responsible for this state of all'airs, but if tho people can stand it the court can.'

Kn. Oit.vxT Co. Nkws: Congress will bo called iijon ear ly in the session to discover and put in force soino methods of relieving tho supremo court docket of its enormous burden of cases. When the court opened its prcsont term it found over 1!100 cases awaiting final action. Without tho filing of an additional case Ihe regular terms for three years would be occupied in clearing the docket. Hut every your increases the nvcrage number of eases filed. Widening business transactions start legal questions that as yet have not been answered by tho courts. The supremo court is inadequate to consider half of thom. As it is, suitors wait for years to bo hoard or, warned by the example of others, rather suffer in justice than ask the court for a de cision that may not bo rendered in years. (leneral Nelson A. .Miles, com manding the division of the Pacific, has submitted his annual report to the War Department. On the sub ject of desertion, of which there were lO.I rases during the year out offi.OlO men, (Sen. .Miles urges, among other things that their en listment he made for three instead of live vonrs; that worthy men be allowed to re-enlist for one year; that sergeants be paid $.r0 a month; that the artillery branch be increas ed, and that men so far as possible be allowed to choose iu what, divis ion they shall serve. (Sen. Miles has much t'i say also upon coast defenses, lie says that to properly dofend tho Pacific coast would re quire r7"2 modern gum ami mor tar?, at a cost of over thirty million dollars. Ux-Secrelary Hayard and .Miss .Mary W. Clyiner were married on Thursday, tho 7th inst. The cere mony was performed at the resi dence of the bride's mother on 11. stieet, instead of the parish church St. Johns. The event wiih desired to be a (piiet all'iiir, and the bride therefore preferred not to have a wedding in church. After the cere mony, to which a small company of the older and most distinguished friends of Mr. Ilavard were bidden, the couple started north, lo return at the end of their tour to Wil mington, Delaware, where they will reside. Mr. l'.ayard's political rec ord is probably closed. The State of Delaware, small as it is, has found that it has men of fair intelli gence outside tho blue-blooded Sal isbury and Mayanl families, and their royal prerogative is no longer recognized. It is gravely announced that lion John It. Thomas of Illinois has again declined to accept a lucrative jiosition, this time it being the place of Cherokee coinniitsioner. It is further alleged that Secretary No ble urged him to accept, but met a linn refusal. In other words, after worrying his heart out in the tight for a dozen prominent affairs, Mr. Thomas is not willing to accept h riiiiiII a bribe as tho Cherokee cotu inissionorship. The case of Mr. Thomas is a sad one. Since Match lib ho has been it candidate for every prominent ollice iu the gift of the government. lie personified a longing and hunger for the spoils. He has had sufficient opportunity in this year of our Lord to learn that the way of the ex-congressiinin is as hard as that of any common transgressor. The civil service commissioners have decided to ask tho district at torney (0 bring action against all persons concerned in tho prepara tion and distribution of tho Kilitioal assessment circular recently issued by the Old Dominion Republican League to republicans in tho gov ernment employ. Those jwrsons so concerned, who are not in govern ment service, will bo prosecuted under section 12, of the civil service act, which provides that no person shall, in any government building solicit or receivo a contribution for any )olitieal offense. Soliciting and receiving in a government building is thus tho gist of the of fensoand tho sending of 11 circular for Such a purpose addressed to 1111 employee at 11 government building is believed to bo covered by this section. Messrs. Klan, (iod win, and Verser, will bo prosecuted un der section 1 1 of tho net, being gov ernment employes. Mr. (Soorge W. Childs, on one of his flying visits lo Washington this week said thai while he did not care (o tulk about tho promised re moval of (Sen, (Srant's remains to this city, he would probably have an early interview with Mrs.' (Irant on Ibis subject.
