It is not of much inii-c-rtanee now, j nevertheless Justice Miller, of the U.

Its foree and power as o ftr r -ill 11. li-ul been .viii-i .ui hum u.oi in ford for perjury done the grand jury came into court on Saturday afternoon with a presentment, which was quite a surprise, and which was not expected as a part of the pro gramme, against Charles s. "Wolfe, of Union county, M. JI. Silverthome and, A. M. Short, both of Erie county, and : lxjth members of the last House, charg ing them with conspiracy to advise and , I.U1..-V...HJ- - t solicitation of members ; promote corrui J of the Legislature. It will be remem- bercd that Silverthorne informed Wolfe ; and Short that llumbarger had offered I him ?7r0 for his vote in favor of the j riot bill that he asked them whether ' he (Silverthorne) should act the detec ) the by agreeing to take the money and thus g(t at the bottom of the corruption i that "Wolfe urged him to agree with 1 llumbarger to vote for the bill, and if possible to get some of the money in his ! hands, to be used as evidence against the lobby that Silverthorne went with , I.'iiinbai-L-er to Kemble's room that , Kemble said he would make good any , . . . . . ' arrangement entered into between Sil- ; verthorne ami llumbarger about the ; ?7.".0, and that Silverthorne. to show th; t i he meant to f airy out his part of the : contract, voted for Eongs amendment j to the bill; but llumbarger "s jik not : having Ken paid, nor any prospect tliat ' it would be, he then voted against the j bill, and soon after gave a history of his j experience. It is on these facts that i the grand jury made the presentment, ! and it raises the question how far an honest man may tamper with corrupt j legislators and a corrupt lobby without ; rendering himself criminally liable. ' Judge Pearson refused to issue processes against "Wolfe and his two associates, ; and said he would give the matter care- 1 fid consideration before acting upon it. ' O.ving to want of time, all the cases were then continued until Monday, : November 17th, when they v. illbe taken up and severally disposed of. Judge ' Black and Senator Carpenter were in : court w hen the continuance was applied ; for and granted. i Tiik Democratic SLate Convention of New York will meet at Syracuse ,n Wednesday next, to nominate a candi date for Governor and oilier State offi cers. The event is one of more than usual importance in viewed the posit ion which the leaders of Tammany"IIalI have se-en proper to assume, in regard to the action of the convention so far as the eptestion of Governor is concerned. All indications point to the renomina tion (if Governor llobinson, the present fearless and independent exe cutive, and against that result the Tammany Hall leaders, under the inspiration of John i Kelly, have issued an address to the Democracy of the State in which they j not only protest against the nomination . of Gov. Robinson, but avow their settled ' determination to oppose l,is election if nominated. It is conceded that with thesupiort of John Kelly and his fed lowers the re-election of Gov. llobinson would be placed beyond any reasonable doubt, while their opposition to him would in all probability defeat him. Is the Democratic party in the great State of Xew York a mere football to Ikj kick ed about for the amusement or caprice i ef John Kelly and his crowd ? and, if so, ' upon what pre tense can Tammany ask for the admission of its delegates into a ! convention whose action it has repudi- , ate-d in advance ? The ih-fe-at of Gov. Robinson, if he should be nominated, 1 would imperil the success in that state 1 next year ef the Democratic candidate for the Presidency, and if Mr. Kelly i.s , I'll pared to assume such a fearful re- : sponsibilit y, the Democracy of the whole entire country want to know it. Kelly , is of course opposed to Tildon, but as the Xew York B'o. 77 we ll says, the elec tion this year in that State is not to lie fought on the issue of Tilden or anti- ! Tildt n, but in favor of Gov. Robin son and hov.csty in the State government, having the Tilden question to ha fought out and disposed of by the convention next year. John Kelly is justly regard ed as an honest man. but he will forever forfeit his good name with the Demo cracy of the Union if he permits his : persona! resentments against Govornor Robir.se. n to eleprive hi-i party of the vide ef Xew York in the great Presi dential t omest 01' next year. In this supreme risis of the Democrat ic party John Kelly and Tammany Hal!, always obedient to his wish, can afford to take any ether shape than tfn't. Tin-: statement i.s made that the re cent Ih'iiioeratic convention in Venanjjo county was controlled by the frier. els of It. I.. (Vchran, J'-sfj., '"who is an ardent supporter of Senator "Wallace."' This may le iniM..rta:it and then again it may not. What possil.de difference can it make to the iHiiPK-ratie party, or what remote connection can it have with the next election in this S;ite, whether 11. L. Cochran. Iv-.p, is an ardi nt supporter of Senator Wallace, or whether he is an anient Hupiorter of Sjse.;ljer Kandall, or whether h" i.-s an ardent .upxirtcr of any man at all ? And yet, iK-cau-e Cociirau sees proper to be the fri inl of Mr. AVallaee. the inference must be tlrawn, we supi.st', that he is therefore the sw.-ni enemy of Mr. Itandall. Jow chihlish and contemptible are such small ifforts to citato feelings of jx-r-F0n.1l enmity between the friends of Messrs. Wallace and Itandal!. Is it iv.ssuiLK lhat a remedy made of such common, simple plants "as Hops, lhi'-hu. Mandrake, lande!io:;, tc'..' make so many and such marvelous and wonderful cures as Hop IJittei-s do ?

When a depth e,f about loo net had been reached Mr. Taylor heard a peculiar rum Minir sound, apparently issuintr from the lioie, and. jtidif ine that something unusual was about to happen, warned li is men to move to a safe ins tance trom tho well.
