Foand-Bribing the Grand Jury.-The grand jury
in New York on Saturday brought in twenty

that one individual who expected to escape paid
out large amounts, and was indicted. He, it is
said, Is indignant, and threatens to make as

OF the grand jurors are lobbied with and dined
and wined every night by parties who are irving

dicted. Parties assert that If the honest men
on the jury attempt to investigate these stories
that eight or ten members of the grand iury are
