THE SMALL NOTE LAw.-The Grand Jury
have returned indictment against Absalom
MOI ris and D. H. Hazan, of this city, and Messrs.
Davis and Lawson, of Wellsville, Ohio charging
them With conspiracy.
The indictment contaias fourteen counts. 1t
charges the defendants with conspiracy to de-
fraud Kramer aud Rahm, NJ Holmes and Son, H,
D. King, the Farmers Deposit Bank and the
Allegheny Trust and Savings Company. One
count charges them with conspiracy to sxtort
money from John Magofin of the Farmers De-
post Bank. by offering, if he would pay them
$4,000, to destroy the fourteen small notes issued
by the bank and withdraw the suits; thus saving
the bank four thousand dollars. Another count
follows, charging them with conspiracy to defraud
the county of Allegheny of $4,000, by endeav-
orng to obtain from the Deposit Bank $4,000
conditional upon the withdrawal of the suits
brought against that institution, thus defrauding
the county of one-half the penalty to which she
was entitled to upon the conviction of tbs bank
ing company, of violating the small note law.
Messrs. Flanegin, Will. A. Stokes and J. H
Hampton will appear for the prosecution We
have not heard the counsel retained fot the de-
fence.

.NoFacaton i'm the House.

A movement has just been made in the House
of Representatives at Washington to bring the
Hard squabble on to the floor. Mr.. CUTrwAY,
of New York, offered resolution calling for
copies Of the GUTHRIE and BRONSON correspond
ence. The conspirators inside and outside frank
" avowed that their design was solely to embar-
rass the administration. The New York Herald
characterized the fact under the standing head OF
"Ball opened in the House" And what was the
result! Why, this resolution, which was to be
the opening wedge of faction. was tabled by a
vote Of l46 to 6. Never was defeat so disastrous
and complete, and the utter insgnfeance of the
Hard troubles exhibited in such bold relief

The New York Legislature re-organized last
Monday with the predominant Wing element
Not without trouble did it organize The Maine
Law seems to be the diecordant element. Woody
Heads and Silver Greys seem to pull apart like
old oxen. Gen. PRUYN, of Albany, was made
Speaker Of the Assembly, over Mr.. L1rTLEJoHN
"a Whig candidate of the Maine Law school,
1t is said that three-fourths of the Wings were
pledged to tho Maine Law; PRUTN was SO notori-
ously opposed to it that there was special con-
vention and candidate got up against him by the
Wing temperance men of the District, who cast
600 votes against him, and put him in minority.
1t shows the duplcity Of politics, that he should
have received the votes OF 90 many pledged tenn
pcrance men. In the Senate HASTINGS, of the
Albany Knicherbocter, was elected Clerk, over
BoGARr, HULL and other Wing Editors. Some
difficulty was made as to the nomination owing
to charges against the Clerk, even as in Oha, ,ant
Whig member moved to refer the nomination
| to committee. Sewardism seems to be in the
ascendant, and the Hunker Wings growl at it
whenever it appears.

The Erie War.

We have said again and again that op-
posed to all restrictions upon railroad travel and
trade, and ali breaks of guage for the purpose of
building up cities and boroughs. We believe the
Erie and North east Company have the right to
change the guage of their road, and that the Fri
ans are in the wrong in endeavoring to prevent it
by force All we object to is the abusive language
employed by some editors against all Pennsylva-
MIA on account Of their conduct. Our courts will
do their duty in the matter, and we hope our Leg
islature will not be whit behind those of New
York and Ohio in the fberality of its policy in
railroad matters. Let the three States appoint
each three commissioners to meet and settle ami
c1bIy all former difficulties, and recommend mu-
tualy liberal policy for the future.
We have all along recommended 'sfree trade
in railroad matters. We say SO still.
The Pennsylvania guage law was repealed last
winter in spirit Of liberalty towards Ohio and
New York.

DISCOVERY OF GoLp ON Gov. STEVENS ROUTE
Tho last mail from the Pacific brings the re-
port that gold has been discovered by Captain
McClelland's surveying party upon the banks OF
the Yenass. Parties were engaged in digging,
and were making from So to SIS per day. 1t will
be recollected that Captain McClelland is engag-
ed, in conjunction with Governor Stevens, in
making the survey of the railroad from st. Paul,
Minnesota, to Pugets Sound. If the report
(which we are inclined to credit be true, it is not
improbable that further examination will prove
the soil of Washington to be as auriterlous as
that of California. The mountains of that Ter
ritory are an extension the Sierra Nevada chain,
and we see not why the banks of the Yenass are
not as likely to abound with the precious ore as
those of the Sacramento or Yuba. This is anoth-
encouraging omen in favor of fine Great Northern
Route to the Pacific, and if the mines prove pro-
ductiye we may expect another season to see
hosts of adventurers focking to them by this
route.
The celebrated Jesuit missionary, Father dc
Schmidt, some years ago, stated that the ROCKY
Mountains, in that portion of the North-wes
which was occupied by the Black Feet Indians
were full of gold; that the precious metal in fact
could be gathered there in tons and the above ane
other similar discoveries would seem to fully cor
roborate his statements.
AS the city oi Chicago is in the direct line
the Great Northern Route these discoveries o
gold must be of incalculable benefit to us.-Ch1
