been engaged III the forgery from the lowest TO tbe
highest. The action OF the Grand jury was awaifed
yesterday with much anxiety by the de-
fence. There were rumOrs that thar body had
found indictments aglust Mr.. Hart, the publisher.
and c. c. Byrue, the Editor of the newspaper called
Truth. as well as against James OBfien alias Lind

to-day Ii he decides 70 hold Philip for trial,
a strong effort will be made 10 have the Others IN
dicted. Just who Will be brought in rs partici-
pants IN the conspiracy the prosecution at present
does not wish 10 make public. Much, Of course,
