GRIM. COMA curious case of Grim. is on the
tapis that will be likely to afford some room for spe-
cslation and profit amongst the gentlemen of the long
robe. The son of distinguished Knckerbocker, Ia
general in the revoluton and the niece of one of our
most eminent physicians (boh married) left their re-
spectve partners thrse weeks back-ran off to Jer-
sey-rode back to this city, and were caught toge.

has been sent back to her friends-the gentleman
arrested by the sheriff and held to bail on civil
process for the sum of $l0,000.

WHO'S meet in all the wards-and last evening the
democrats did the same-both preparatory to the
elections next month
Frsm present appearances, we are of opinion
that the wings will carry the day. as completely as
they did last spring and fall and give the psor demo-
Gratis a sound licking. The democrats are endeavor-
ing raise the steam bat is slow in its operations
The wings possess the n,eupement which, with pru.
dence, they can rstan-the democrats the Tammany
voters and the Custom House.
A majority of the leaders of both parties are the
greatest scoundrels lving-the bulk of both parties
honest, Conscientious men. In our opinion, maJo-
riiy of the whig rght-we are therefore
more wing than democrat though as little favorable
to either class of rascals as can help.

Law Courts.

The Law Courts at the present period are all at
skies and sevens. Nothing has been doing in any of
them for the last week, and scarcely any thing will
be done for nearly week to come. The Superior
Court will be occupied for two three weeks in hear
ing arguments and giving judgments. The Com
mon Pleas opened yesterday, swore in Jury, and
adjourned, instanter. The United States Circuit
Court opened at 10, heard few arguments and dis
charged the Jury until Friday In the Court of Ses-
sions three prisoners tried, convicted and SEN
fenced and the Grand Jurors were sworn in. In the
Coroners Office, the returns for the day were a
blank and such also the case in Police Office
Half the city paraded Broadway, and though there
was no lack of civil behavior, not civil suit was
tried during the day.
