this city, were deiuded into land spec ions
at Ithaca, by which they defrauded, MIR. Jor-
dan, counsel for Gregory, moved the Court TO quash
the indictment.
The District Attorney opposed the motion at great
length and read some very erudite opinions in order
to tortify his argument.
The Court denied the motion, and ordered the case
TO proceed
As the case has been some time before the public
under various forms NJ litigation, do not intend
to cucumber our columns with il The main
facts lay in a nut shell.
In the year 1885, when all the world this side the
Atlantic were agog for land spec uatons the accused
proposed 10 divide into shares for the purpose Of
selling il in building lots. He called on Derby e.
Farnham and represented to them that the pr opery
lay within few rods OF the Court House, and that
he had the refusal Of il for week at 1000
That il bought at that price, and divided into vii
lAge lots, large sum Of money might be realized.
On the faith OF these representations, Derby a.
Farnkam took two shares, for which they paid two
notes, each Of 500, one Of which notes was paid
when due. On the other, trial was had in the Su.
perior Court, and a verdict given for defendants.
On that aston the whole merits of the case were

Yesterday was great day for the soldisrs, the
boys and the loafers Of the city Gen. Morriss AAe
brigade was out, in al their glory, and . splendid
appearance they made to be sure. A regiment from
Georgia, aud some soldierly looking fellows from
Brooklyn, in a strange dress, sweled the brilliant
cortegs; and altogether the display exceedingly
credtable to the city.
The Georgia Greys, commanded by Col. Avery,
looked indeed like soldiers. Their dress of grey
looks serviceable and becoming. This corps has
been encamped for some time in Paoli, Pennsylva.
MIA. There was large assemblage of the militia at
the same place, and we understand that the disGi-
pline and evolutons ofthe Georgia Greys, were the
subject Of genern commentator.
The Washington Grcys, under Col Hall, made
fine appearance They arc well dressed, well drill
ed corps, and would, no doubt do the State some
service, in case of emergency.
The Montgomery Guards, and the 81 regiment of
Artillery looked well and behaved well.
The troops were reviewed on the battery, by
Gen. Morris, who looked happy and rode WE'LL
There were some queer exhibitions Of horseman-

better, if they had known how.
BURNING OF The CARoLIsE.-The arrest and
sub eauent discharge of MIR. Mcleod, accused of
being concerned in the destruction of the steamboat
Caroline of Schosser, in 1887, seems to have revi
ved in some degree, the luminosity that prevailed
in Canada at that time. Mr.. Mcleod, who was
latel. Deputy Sheriff of the Lincoln District, has
written a long letter to the editor of the Niagara
Chronicle, relative to the matter. In speaking on
the subject the Montreal Herald says: ''Since such
proceedings have been adopted against a British
sui jcct for such alleged participation in aetwhich
was committed by the express authority Of the Cole
NAL Executive, and subsequently, sanctioned by the
Imperial Government, it is high time that it should
be made national question, involving as it does,
the honour of Great Britain in no slight degree
Mr.. Mcleod was put to great personal inconve-
nence and had to endure repeated insults from the
sovereigns Of the United states, besides being put
hope or chance Of reparaton. Besides all this, he
was not of the individuals in the expedition
again the Caroline, although he stated that had he
been, he should at once have acknowledged itwhile
in American custody. 1t was, however. accident
not Inclination, which prevented his participation in
that honorable aud daring act and II he had taken
part in it, no fear of consequences would have pre-
vented him from avowing it at once
