TOBACCO ISsPEcroR.-The dealers in tobacco
held private meeting on Friday evening at Jones
Second Ward Hotel, 10 recommend suitable man
for Tobacco Inspector vice j. b. Gentworth, whose
bssiness in ppe-layiny understood TO be incom-
Fattble with the proper discharge Of the duties of
that officer. These tobacconsts manage matters
queerly. They gave public notice for meeting,
and then tursed every body but those Of their own
kidney out. After this piece Of inperiinenee, we
glad hear that their labors supersrogatory
altogether. The constitution vests the power Of APP
poatins the Tobacco Inspector in the Governor and
Senate; and the Governor, as we understand in the
exercise OF sound discretion, aud without saying
so much as "by your leave" to the tobacco deal
ers, has offered the place to Egbert Benson, an ho
neat faithful, and capable man, before the tobacco
nists called their meeting MIR. Benson will be ge-
nerally acceptable, and If Governor Seward had al
ways made as good selections for Office, just
plant would ever have been made on the subject
Tue GRAND JuRv The grand jury took up the
subject Of the election frauds OF ISIS and SO on
Thursday last. They were engaged for that day and
on Friday "a? to o'clock at night in examining only
two witnesses-one OF whom was J. .. Stevensos,
the sab.toslcco Inspector. The grand jury will
sumo the examination OF witnesses to-day, and will
probably be engaged during the whole Of this week
in that inquiry.
What the result may be--whether Messrs Blatck-
ford, Wetmors, Draper x Co. may be indicted or
not, is as yet myaery. The whole community
expect that the grand jury will probe this business
20 the bottom. It's duty they owe to society and
Che purity Of republican institutions. The prinei-
pal offenders those who furnished the fusds and
projected the plans-not the mere agents
