The SYRACUSE RIoTERs.-The term oil the Uni
ted States district court opened at Buffalo on Tues
day evening, when the witnesses against the SYRIA
cuse rioters sworn. On Wednesday, Judge
CoNoKLIN delivered his charge to the grand jury,
in the course of which he alluded to the case in a
tone described by the Geographic reporters as
moderate and impartial He remarked
81 am sorry to cay that in the execution of my
judicial duties have been made acquainted with
certain other groes attractions of the lave of the
United States into which il will be your duty to
inquire; and as offences to which allude are no.
vel in this district, il is proper that should briefly
explain their nature
The learned judge then alluded to that article of
the Constitution of the United States which ordains
that held to service under the laws Of the
State escaping into another State, be delivered up
&c and to the Act of Congress of 1893, passed for
the purpose Of carrying its provisions into effect
After pointing out the changes made by the Fugl-
tive Slave act in retaining and experimenting
fugitives, and reading the seventh section of the
act, the Judge briefly explained the nature OF the
charge against the parties, concluding as follows
ssHaving now pointed out TO you your duty,
gentlemen, shall not detan you by undertaken g
to yindicate the Constitution by which this duty is
imposed for am called only to zee to it's faithful
performance. Such an attempt would IN my
Judgment be insult to your understanding,
and an impeachment of your integrity Surely 1t
cannot be necessary TO inform any grand jury
that judicial tribunal Is not invested with legls
Iative authority to enact or repeal laws at plea
sure but that on the contrary Its sole functions is
TO understand and impartially apply the existing
lave; as men OF common sense and enlightened
citizens you must know this already as well as
do and to exonerate you from the honest fulhlment
OF the duties il implies, and which you have just
solemniy .worn to execute, would be TO iinpute to
you Willingness TO violate your duty and your
oaths; and what right have to do this any moro
than you have 10 impute the like TO me' OF a
court Of criminal Jurisdiction, the grand jury, no
less than the judge, constitute an essential COM
poncnt part. Both arc alike the sworn ministers
Of the law, and are bound to obey it's mandates"

CONSTITUTIONAL REFORMS OF VIReINIA.-Among
the Democratic devices resorted to in Virginia to
influence the pending election, is systematic at
tempt to exhibit the Wings opposed to the con-
stitutonal reform recently effected in that State.
The new voters especially are assured that they
are indebted for the boon to the Democratic party.
The Richmond Republican says:
"We not aware of any great zeal exhibited
by leading Democratic organs and statesmen for
these reforms until after they had acquired suffi
cient strength TO take OF themselves. Our own
opinion has been that the reforms accomplished in
the Virginia constitution were the work Of the PEG
pie, without reference TO party-tbat they were
supported by the Wing and Democratic masses,
and opposed by leading Democrats well
Wings. Upon reviewing the whole history of
these reforms, from the resolution offered by MIR.
Finney, of Accomac, WHO, recommending the
appointment of committee to inquire into the ex-
pedicncy of calling reform convention, down TO
the adjournment OF the convention, we see no evil
dence that the work OF reform was party work.
The Republican copies from the Bedford (Va)
Sentinel, which demonstrates from the record that
ga minority of both parties opposed TO the call
of convention, whilst a majority of both were in
favor of it. Neither could have succeeded without
the aid OF the other, because neither had strength
enough of its own on the question at issue
ESCAPE or CHRIsrIANA WITNESSES FROM MoyA-
MENsING.-o On Sunday morning three prisoners es-
capped from the debtors apartment IN the Moya-
mcnsing prison. Two of them were black men,
and were kept there for safe custody important
witnesses in the Cbristiana treason cases. The
Philadelphia correspondent the New York Herald,
writing on Tuesday, says;
''In the district court, this morning, Mr.. Ash-
mead, the United States District Attorney, appear
ed and notified the court of the escape which had
taken place He stated that the witnesses had been
in prison about two months, drawing dollar a nd
quarter each day; and that the Government was
now owing them about eighty dollars piece; and
he mentioned, also, the extraordinary fact that
notice given by the jailor to any officer Of the
Government Of the escape of these men until
twenty hours after it had taken place. In view
of these facts he considered it his duty TO the
court that the remaining witnesses be removed
from the debtors apartment to the county prison.;
which motion granted by the court, and an
order issued accordingly.

age.
There is much speculation as TO the of their
leaving. Some think that they would not have
gone off while 80 much money was due them from
The Government unless they had been hired 10 GO;
others think that, in their ignorance, they might
have apprehended danger to themselves, and that
the mere love ofliberty sufficient inducemcnt
for them to escape"
