Mr. Durham was indicted for withholding personal property consisting of money on hand from the Assessor, amount. Jrg to $130,00. The case was submitted ?o the court for trial on an agreed statement ot the facts, and the court found the defecdant gnlity in both cases, holding him to be guilty of a technical violation of the law, notwithstanding the claim asserted by him that the property withheld consisted of money on deposit in the First National Bank of this city, which was to be repaid to him in greenbacks, which are not taxable.

BLAINE'S LETTER, Senator Iliicock Becomes an Important Factor in the Ficht -Democrats' View, Washikgtou, February 15. While these Western booms are being started, a remark dropped in private conversation by Mr. William Walter Phelps has opened the ears of the Sherman,, Allison and Cullom men with a snap, and caused the Hawiey contingent from the Eist to raise its ears in astonishment. Mr. Phelps is quoted as say leg to a Southern man who asked his opinion about the meaning of Blaine's letter and its probable effect in the advancement of other candidates, that it was altogether probable that Senator Hissock, of New York, would become the legatee of Blame, acd that he would go into the national convention with New York, New Jersey and all tbe other Eastern and Mid dle States, except Connecticut, behind him. It looks as if the result of the publica tion of Blaine's letter would be to encourage all the aspirants for the Presidency to make heroic efforts to enlarga their respective following. If the delegates go Into the national con vention for a dozen candidates, then pei baps, under tbe inspiration of the Rant&s and Ualilornia hurrah, the Maine man's friends will break for Blaine and nominate him by acclamation on the first ballot, all of his friends agree that he would not refuse a nomination under these circumstances. This report has made Mr. Hiscock an important factorin politics. If he was aware of any plan on the part of the Blaine men to take him up instead ot the Maine knight, it would account for his modesty and reticence when asked by corresoondents to Bay what he thought Mr. Blaine meant by his letter. But Mr. uiscoct a chances for a nomination are certainly not smaller than were those of Garfield seven vears ago. Many Republicans regard him as a man whom they could support quits as cordially as they supported Garheld, There is a growing impression here among men who are not well acquainted with tbe feeling of the Empire State that Hiscock would prove an extremely popular candidate. Locisville, ky February lo. Hon. Henry D. McHenry, of Hartford, Kentucky, member of the Democratic National Committee is here this morningen route toWashmgton to attend tbe meeting ot the committee next Wednesday. In an inter view with a reporter or the fcven. lDg Times, he said: "Oh, Blaine sets the handwriting on the wall. He Etes the mugwumps waiting for him with a etufiVd club, and, knowing he cannot carry New York, nor be elected without that State, he acts upon, discretion as the betttr part of valor, and will take the alternative ot becoming the power behind tbe Alllaon throne. He will dictate the nomination, givirg it to Allison and again become Stcretary of State if the Republicans are successful." Mr. McHenry also said that he would vote for St. Louisas the place to hold the convention. San Francisco was too far off. New York, he thought, woald make no fight for it, the Btate having no representative on the committee. "JliY GOO BLESS YOU."
