M he recent sessioa n Court in shis city,
tho Grand Jurors enquirsd into case u per-
iufy connected with the procuring q nstn-
ralization papers. The facts are these, -
they are told Us: An adopted citizen went
into the United States Court and proved ~
his next friend that he had resided IN tho
State Of Iowa one year, when u 10 we'll known,
and susceptible Of clear proof, that be had
only resided six months in the Ssase:--
/ This matter came up before the Grand Ju-
rors. The prosecutor informed them that
this case, occurring in the United States
Court, was not in the jurisdiction Of State
tribunals! The Jurors thought they knew
| enough about law to know that perjury,
wherever committed in the County, was an
offence over which they had full jurisdiction.
/ They accordingly told the Prosecutor they
could dispense with his services. But not to
be foied in the effort TO screen the guilty
party, the Prosecutor sent Judge Hall 10 the
Jury room, who, upon has oath, declared 70
them that the o6cnse WINS committed IN the
United States Court, and that they could not
find bill against the guilty party without
coming in conflict with General Government
or the United States Court. This We have
from one Of the Jurymen and rely upon ~

The KANSAS correspondent OF the n. 4.
Tribune says Of this incident:
sit may appear triHing to the unrchecting,
or il may look like levity or thoughtlessness.

In the midst Of political corruption that

The inhabitant of Nootka Sound tattooe'
his BODY with the method of harmonious
arabesques. Every form to which the hand'

no. to the artist exclusively, but the man.
Beauty, like truth and justice, lives within
as; like virtue and the moral Law, It " Q
companion Of the soul. The power whict
leads to the production of beautiful forms
or to the perception OF them in their works
which God has made, is an attribute OF Hu

DIFFERENCE AMONG PoLfrIcAL DocroRs.--
The Raleigh On. C.) Standard states that thu
Democracy saved the South in the late Pres
idental contest, but the Charleston s. G.
Mercury dissents emphaticallv, and says =
. sWe are surprised that that journal, in tn,
intoxication of success, should shut its eyel
to the Pyrrhic character OF this victory
one more ssch and we are lost. It is thu
, South that has saved the Democratic party
and not the Democratic part that has throwt
its shield over the South" Latitude appear,
TO make considerable difference in the opin
ions Of doctors.
