The relator, Key, Tecetved his proportion from the four installments through Mr. Evarts and one through Mr, Blaine, but on this installment the question is raised by Secretary Frelinghuysen whether he should pay it over. The main question argued by Messrs.

WELLS EXPLAINS THE ACTION OF THE GRAND JURY—WHAT HE SAYS OF THE ENDORSEMENT ON THE WARRANT. The warrant upon which Mr. Wm. Dickson was arrested and tried in the Police Court, having been returned-by the grand jury to the custody of the, clerk, bears on it the words, “Ignoramus. Charles Dodge, foreman,” which words, however, have been scratched out or marked over with a os This fact 1s mentioned by those who circu- lated the reports that the grand jury had decided to dismiss the complaint against Dickson, as proof of the truth of their statements at the time they were made. Mr. Wells, talking to a Star reporter about the Matter to-day, said thathe did not understand why the warrant had ever been marked as it had, as it was unnecessary so to mark it, even if the grand jury bad decided to ignore the paper. The papers from the Police Court were only evidence to the grand jury of what had been done by that court, and the grand jurors were not bound by the action of that court, and if they saw fit to depart from the form of the charge as set out in the papers from the Police Court, it was unnecessary to formally ignore those papers, As Mr. Wells understood it, the difficulty in the minds of the grand jury con- cerned the form of the charge or indictment. When these objections were met by the prepara- tion of a bill agreeable to their views the Indict- ment was promptly returned. There 18 consider- able variance, in form at least, between the orlgi- nal warrant on which Dickson was apprehended and the indictment now pending. THE PRESENT INDICIMENT 1s In two counts. The first sets out a corrupt en- deavor to influence the jury by reading a certain paper, which paper is set out literally. The second count sets out the same charge, but only gives the japer in substance. This precaution has been cen owing to the difficulty, which developed it- self at the Police Court hearing, of proving con- clusively the exact words of per. At the Police Court hearing ified that the paper produced there was not the one he read in the jury room, but was an exact copy of It. —_—+__ ‘The Washington Aqueduct Extension.

Mr. Hale called up the joint resolution appro- priating (as amended), $100,000 for the continua- tion of the census work until the end of the present Miseal year. Mr. Ingalls said that impressions not favorable to value or the verity of the census work had Falned general circulation. He did not that hose impreasions were just, but he thought the work had been project on too large a scale for practical pur and from a cursory examina- ion of the tities of some of the forthcoming vol- umes he was satisfied that they ougbt not to be ublished as census material, though they might, Perhaps, be fitly preserved with the Franklin archives and the Rochambeau papers for the ben- efit of future historians and antiquarians. Mr. Hale said he had showed the general feeling with reference to the condition of the work of the census office, but the committee on the census had een the matter fully, and he was sat- isfled that the work would now goon rapidly and satisfactorily to completion under the renewed supervision of Gen. Walker; a letter from whom Mr. Hale read, stating that the work was farther advanced than he had expected to find it; that the volumes on population,manutacturesand culture, and also some 1,800 pages of solid statistt- cal tables, would be in the hands of the govern- ment printer before the 20th or February.
