THE case of the Commonwealth
against Charles B. Salter. an ex-member
of the Legislature from Philadelphia,
for corrupt solicitation, arising out of
the attempted passage by the House
last winter of the Pittsburg riot losses
bill. was called up for trial in the Court
of Quarter Sessions of Dauphin county
on Monday of last week. A notion
made by Salter's counsel to quash the
array of jurors for certain reasons pre-
sented to the Court having been over
ruled, motion was made by the same
counsel to quash the indictment, upon
the ground that while the law will not
permit more than ticepty-tbree Grand
Jurors to be sworn, ttCe1ty-four men par
ticipated in the deliberations OF the
Jury at the last August sessions when
the Indictment was returned "a true
bill. " The defendants counsel pro
posed to prove that such was the fact,
and although Judge Black and Senator
Carpenter, of Wisconsin, stoutly re-
sisted any attempt to impeach or con-
tradict by evidence the record OF the
Grand Jury. the court permitted the Of
fer. and it having been shown by com
petent testimony that the allegation of
the defendants counsel was true, quash
ed the indictment. This was on We'd
nesday of last week, and the Court adj
journed until Friday, when at ? o'clock
on that day the case Of the Common
wealth against A. w. Leisinring ,,another
defendant residing in Mauch Chunk, was
taken up. His counsel made the same
motion to quash the indictment that had
prevailed in the Salter ease. y lengthy
discussion followed, Judge Black and
Mr.. Carpenter stating to the Court that
they were much better prepared to re-
sist the motion in the present case than
they had been in the former one. After
Nessrs. Black and Carpenter had cited
their authorities and the counsel for the
defense had been heard on the other
side. Judge Pearson stated that he would
withhold his decision until next Mon
day. the Sth, in order to obtain sufficient
time thoroughly to examine the ques-
/ tIon. He also stated that he would not
/ file his opinion in the Salter case which
he had written out until that time.
Whatever may be the action OF the
I Court on Monday next, none Of the
4 cases against Kemble and his lobby will
be tried until the next term, commenc-
ing on the third Monday of January
the defendants having renewed theiI
bail for their appearance at that time.

Governor Of Pennsylvania.
When this dispatch to the Grant Ie-

published in the papers of that city, the
Republican organs in this State did not
hesitate to pronounce it a malicious for
gerry. and were very confident that
Henry VI. Hoyt had not dishonored his
high Office by Sending it. But Hoyt,
although he was no doubt roOsting very
high when the dispatch was transmitted,
has been forced by the pressure of
outraged public opinion to admit its
genuineness. Such a dispatch from any
source would be disgraceful. but when
sent by the Governor of a great and
patriotic State it becomes so to the last
degree. What Is the difference between

The editor Of prominent German
paper in st. Louis is authority for the
statement that the German press
throughout the country is almost solid
against the third term project. He says
that the Germans saw more of military
rule in their own country than is whole
some-that they came here to enjoy
constitutional liberty, and that they will
never vote to confer the Presidency for
the third term on a man whose civil
career showed that he was better fitted
TO govern by the sword than by the
