CoNovER, THE PERJURER.-In was stated
yesterday that in the Court in Washington
Judge Cartier overrucd the motion Of a new
trial in Conover's case The latter based his
last application upon some afdavts by which
he expected to prove that Hoare and Roberts,
two of the witnesses against hlul. had sworn
falsely. There is also an affidavit made by
ConoYcr on the 18th instant, which is d gem in
its way, the closing paragraph CT which charges
that Hoare aud Roberts boasted OF the profit
to them from swearing against the atfiaDt, and
declares that they (HoaEe and Roberts, had
been assured by prominent soutberners and
democrats in the north that in pronouncing the
depositions given by them before the Judge
Advocate General untrue, they had done much
to preserve the reputation and perhaps the
life of Jefferson Davis, and that the friends of
Davis had opened their hearts and pockets,
and that they had only to ask favors, pecunary
or otherwise, in order to receive them. That
they would swear atfiant to hell if they had the
power, for one-ha!f the satisfaction they had
received from swearing him into the penten
tiary." CT

a FERTILIZER FROM THE OCEAN All along
the coast Of New Jersey, coral, composed
largely Of phosphate and heterogeneous mat
ter, is forming 50 rapidly as to threaten inter:
ruption to navigation in some places. Being
40 excellent fertilizer, it is being collected with
strong forks and graphing hooks; and in many
instances the deposits are so large and heavy
that they cannot be lifted to the surface. By
passing the entire mass through crushing ma
cbine, everything is reduced to small fragments.
At the sane time a liberal amount; Of dry
muck is mingled with the coral for the pur,
pose OF absorbing the ammoniacal material,
and thus retaining it until the compost can be

As Senator Wilson announces that Virginia
will be the 'Danner State" Of the Radical
party, and Judge Underwood says that the
Radical majority will be from $4,000 to sc, 900
we cannot see where is the use or what is
the necessity, for cooperating" to secure
larger majority, or to more thoroughly Rad
ic4lize" the State. The Hunnicutt and Bolts
coalition party, according to the above state
ments, having secured their objects, by the aid
Of "eolored registration, why 'pile on the

acquisition, that they marry one, two, or
three wives, as they have the means of
supporting them. The bridegroom takes
the BRIDE on trial, and may return her to
her parents should he not be satisfied, but
cannot demand his presents back. No
man IS allowed to sell his wife without
her consent, but he may land often does)
