A number of the personal friends of

him. Among the distinguished gentle

When sandwiches and other substan.

made short and happy speech. In the
course of his remarks he said:
"We have met to show our respect To

sFp Mahony has been trying to get the
Grand jury of Dubuque county to find a
bill oiindictment against the Times of
that city for calling him a traitor. The
Judge, the Sheriff, and the Clerk, and
Bailiffs Of the Court, all being of the Ma
hony persuasion, have a Grand Jury of
the like stripe, and Mallory himself is a
swift witness in his own behalf. In this
criminal prosecution, under the circum-

should run bill Of indictment through

ghost of chance on trial before petit
