THE OYSTER Law. In the United States
Circuit Court yesterday morning an interesting
aud important case was argued. j. w. Nc
Greary, o. Maryland, indicted in the County
Court of Gloucester for violating the oyster
law of Virginia. applied for discharge by habeas
corpus to the United States court. The State
was represented by Hon. R. I. Daniel, Attor-
ncy General, and the application was made by
Judge Clump. Argument on either side was
elaborate. Judge Crump took the ground
that under the Fourteenth amendment and un-
der the right of the General Government to
enact laws governing commerce, it was consis-
tcnt for this court to exercise jurisdiction and
grant the application for habeas corpus. The
Attorney General argued it would be an in
tlingcmcnt upon the power of the State to
grant the petition, and that 1t was the duty of
the court to send him back to the court Of
Gloucester to undergo trial Decision upon
the point Of granting the petition was withheld.

AN INCIDENT AT THE EPISCOPAL 'ONVEN-
T,oN,-Ouc little incident only occurred during
the session of the Episcopal Diocesan Couvep-
ton. held 10 New York last week, to Lift
it's proceedings from the ordinary routine OF
such qodies 1t Was noticed by those who usu
aly, wear after year, come to the Convention
AS delegates, that one cerlca gentleman who had
not been present for four or five years was daily
10 prompt attendance. What did 1t mean
Ie was Low Churchman OF the most plo.
nounced lype-Dr. Stephen II. lying, jr.-and
usually, whenever be appears 10 public oodies'
he means business, and 20 have hack at
some obsolete old something that to his notion,
stands in the way Ut vital and progressive plety
What Grebraud was he about to throw into the
Convention TO disturb its harmony and mar
the decent debility that had characterized all
its proceedings How warily the shrewd Old
gentlemen who were there (always on the
watch to guard against iGDovatlon, kept their
eyes on the young radical They were not to be
caught mapping; not they! Things went Oh quiet
ly up to almost the very moment OF adj.
iourument yet there was no disturbance.
DR.. Tying was conversing with the learn
ed Dr.. BueI, Professor in the Thcologi-
cal Seminary, Of all the old literature OF
all the old dead languages ever heard Of,
and with Dr. Seymour, the Bishop elect of
Iinois-two gentlemen holding views differ
ing widely from those held by Dr. Tying, and
the talk must have been pleasant; for each face
was ia general state OF smile At length DIR.
Tying arose; Mr.. President and the Cou-
vention came to hush-.evcry eye on lying.
1t was coming The good Bishop straightcued
himself up; DIR. Eginbrodt, the Secretary, cast
an anxious eye forward; Bishop lo2er oked
as though things were about to be wrecked
'Mr. President" continued DIR. Tying, IN u
tone OF voice and with manner that Indicated
deep feeling, II rise Tor the purpose of present
ing resolution, which | had hoped to present
when the Chair was not occupied by the Bishop,
but by prcsbyter; but, as that opportunity is
not likely to occur, | beg leave to offer rcsoIu-
ton, which am sure, will meet with a response
from every member of the Convention and
then went on with few eloquent words, OK
pressing the sympathy they all felt for the
Bishop 10 the bereavement be had recently un-
dergone in the loss of his son, Lieut.. Potter,
and concluded by offering resolution express
sive OF that sympathy. A rising and silent vote
attested the feeling Of the Convention. The
admirable words and admirable manner IN
which young Dr. Tying had acquitted himself
made very delightful impression, the more so
from the well known character OF his church
manship, and from the fact that he is the only
presbytcr of the diocese who has ever been
publicly admonished by Bishop Potter for cler-
ical irregularities.

Five Grant Parish Prisoners Released.

The United States Circuit Court room
was pretty solidly packed yesterday morn
ing By people who desired to listen to fur
ther proceedings in the Grant psyish pris-
oners case.
District Attorney Beckwith announced
that so far as he was concerned he was
willing for five Of the accused, Prudhomme
and Denis Lemoine, Thomas Hickman,
Clemen. Penn and Austin Gibbons, de-
clared not guilty, TO be released on bonds,
taking each On their own recognlzance ID
$4,000 to appear when called on tor trial
hereafter on an indictment similar to that
from which they are just discharged.
Judge Woods consented, and informed
them that they might 60 free as soon as
they complied with the forms. Immedi-
atelv after their release many people con-
graduated them, but there was no particu-
lar demonstration.
Mr.. Whitaker, for defense, made a mo-
ton for a new trial in the case of HadnOt,
Cruikshank and Irwin, convicted of con.
spiracy, which motion will be up in court
this morning. In case new trial is refused,
Mr.. Whitaker announced that he would
file an order for arrest of judgment.
Judge Woods informed counsel that he
had telegraphed the verdict to Justice
Bradley, as the latter had declared that in
the event of conviction he would consider
and pass on a motion made by defense to
erase certain portions of the indictment.
1t is probable that the absent judge will
send his written opinion in the case.
