The Presentment of the Grand Jnry.
Grand Jury yesterday concluded their
labors, and before.they , were dismissed they
banded a . lengthy “presentment”,, to the
Court/generajly supposed to-be in response
to: the . ablo i charge of Jodge ; Mellon,
relative to our financial difficulties. We po
“vured the original, and found it & mosteihgn
lar. document—crudely; written, ; and. utterly
destitute or practical suggestions. The fact
is, our financial' troubles have pnxxled the
brains of the most experienced financiers, and
the “Grand Inquest” are. evidently as much
puxilod how to find a'mode of relief as any
others who have undertaken to investigate tho
knotty;subject. '. There i» nothing in the doc
ument to justify its publication^—nothing that
would tend to tho credit of the County or the
Grand Jury—nothing that • would enlighten
tho public in the slightest degree—and'we
therefore lot.it pass.

Td the Supreme Court, noir*-in session in
Philadelphia, Judge Strong delivered a decis
ion In the case of Clark vs. The Btnuingham
and Pittsburgh Bridge Company, affirming
ihi judgment of the Court below. The plain--
.UfiT in error brought an .action in the Court
beioW to recover damages for the loss of a
coaP boat, caused by its coming in collision
with the piers of the it was al
leged were unlawfully erected and maintained
in ahd.near the ordinary channel for coal
boats and other craft, and by reason thereof
were an unlawful obstruction to the naviga
tion, of the river, and a common nuisance. 1
The Court below entered a non suit, and the
case was removed to the Supreme Court on a
writ of error. ' •'
The charter of tbe company prescribed no
modo in which the bridge should be built,
and it therefore possessed a discretion unlim
ited by express. restriction; The Coart tfSy
that the erection, Ac., of these piers was not
unlawful, and for any loss that tbe plaintiff
might have sustained by their simple erection
the company was not liable. It was further
said that the grant of a franchise by tbe State
carried With it the immunities to which the
State would be entitled, and is liable for con
sequential damage only so far as the State
would be.
.As the Legislature had not defined the
number of piers, nor. their location, it fol
lowed that- they left to the company a dis
cretion in the matter, and the exercise of that
discretion coaid not be called in question by
a jury. Tho judgment, of the Court below
was affirmed.
The Police Appointments.
The city police are all'agog to-day in refer
ence to the appointments which Mr. Sawyer,
the Mayor elect, is likely to mako. The ex
citement was very high at the Mayor’s office,
and the rumors varied'and contradictory. It
is assorted that Robert 'Hague is to be Chief
of Police under the new administration, and
that all the present incumbents are to be re
moved, excepting Messrs. Richardson and
Strain. The successors to the deposed party
are not named. Tho gossip now runs in this
channel, but tho next few hours may change
the current entirely.
There is no need for haste, however, and tho
pnblio may rest assured that Mayor Sawyer
will exercise a sound discretion, in aelcoting
his police force. The rumored appointment
of Mr. Hague aa Chief, however, will not be
palatable to some; but under an honest, capa
ble end energetic Mayor, it is not a matter ef
much'consequence who is Chief. .Tho Mayor
is actually the Mead of the ministerial forco,
and.with a watchful eye and directing mind
he can make a good Chief out of what might
otherwise prove vory indiflerent material;
It is also among the •» dite that the choice
for Mayor's Clerk lies betwoon Ex-Mayor F.
E. Volz, and George W: Leonard, Chief- En
gineer of tho Fire Department. Either of
these appointments would be capital, but then
perhaps some ono else equally good will bo
ebbsen for that' position. We metely give
these Tumors for what they are worth.
Skirmish in Hardy County, Ya.
. A sharp skirmish took place in Hardy coun
ty, Va.,on Sunday last, between Capt. Schell'S
Co. I, 6th regiment, and a superior
force of rebels. The Union men were quar
tered in a church, wbsre the rebels expected
to surprise and marder them. They were at*
.tacked“on Sunday morning about daylight,
but they received information of thg.approach
of the rebels about an hour before. They re
tired from the church in which they were
quartered, and took to the thickets on the side
of the mountain overlooking the bailding.
: TU« rebels approached on tho opposite sido,
.and also got into a'thicket and waited until
daylight, supposing Schell's men to be quietly,
sleeping in the church. They (the rebels)
discharged their pieces into the windows.
Schell’s men then returned, tho fire from tho
Jhlcket. The fire was kept up for some min
ntes,.wben the rebels broke and ran. Four
dead rebels were found in tbe bushes, and
many others wore supposed to be badly wbund
,ed. Schell's men .: did -terrible execution.
They wounded some of the cavalry and their
horns whon half a mile away from them.
Marriage Statistics*

BY IEtEOEATH. ■' ' •oftheeourseof the Secretary of the Savyl
’ The .Utter was do doubt *nhonest man, bat
bad made a mistake. He said be (Hr. Halo.)
always seemed unfortunate in attempts of .this:
lf Jie attaeked a small man, then it
wm too small a business, Then,if be went
W'to the head of a. department; it was too
high and mast not paralyse publio confidence.
If the Senate pass' tho amendment; it will' ad
monish officials that such things' are not .to ge
untouched .through the Senate. We .were
spending from a million to a million and a
half per day not to put down the : rebellion,
but to keep always about where'we are.
Hr. Dixon, of .Conn., thought it atrange
that censure should be cast upon a man against
whom no charge had been made, and who was
an honeat man. He could show that, instead
of money being lost by this proceeding, the
goverdment had been savedofagreat amount..
He thought it was not apropermodeto rep
rimand an officer who was'admitted tone
'honest and pure in intention, and that the
amendment whs a gross injustice towards- the
Secretary of the Ifaryw r . .r •• '
. Hr. Sherman, of Ohio, spoke in faror of the
amendment. He said the facts could not be
denied that Mr. Morgan, the brother-in-law
of the Secretary of tbe liavy, had.received
nearly $lOO,OOO, and such'action could hot bo
defended. He said things of this kind did
more to affect the credit-of the government
than anything Olso; and the Senate cannot
overlook such things. Why should
this officer with ' the disbursement of So laVge ;
an amount of money when he had abused his

small amount of postage required. In Eng
land even the Queen has to jpay her own post

never be restored, and the people would won
der that it bad existed but long. ' The Post

. Senate. —Mr. Stunner, of Maas., having the
ifloor on the Tront k ftfiair, made an eloquent
.speech. In alluding to the release of Mason
|and Slidell he said that this, had been-done
aV the instanee-jof the'British Government,
courteously conveyed and founded on the as
sumption that tho original'capture of tboiso
. men was an act of violence, which - was an
affront to tho British flag, ora violation of.
international law. He stated that these men
were citizens and for many'years Senators
of tho Unitod States. One* was tbe author of
tho fogitive slave law and tito other tbe chief
anthor of thefillibna taring.system, which'has
disgraced oar national name'“nnd disturbed
our national peace. In the servico of their
country,, they conspired against it, and at last,
tho eocrct traitors and conspirators became
open rebels. While on their way to England
and France to play tho part - ofambassadors,
for the purpose of arraying two great nations
against tbe United States,-and-enlist them
openly in behalf of an accursed slaveholding
.rebellion, they were arrested and removed
from tho English steamer Trent by Cap
tain Wilkes* of - the Hailed
San Jacinto. If he,' in--this -arrest/
forget fora moment* tho/fixed poliqy 'of the
republic, and transcended tho-law.of nktioos
as the United States have always construed it,
his apology must be found in the patriotic im
pulse by which he was inspired/ and : the Brit- •'
ieh examples whioh he could not-forget, and
which ’rendered them liable to Ire stopped.'
British precedents, the oft-repeated example
of British cruisers, upheld against, the.ofi,-
repOAted protests of Ibe United States,'vindi
cate the arrest. T{io act only becomAaqßM'
tionabk when brought to the touchstone of
those liberal principles which the American
government has always openly avowed/' and
which other Earopean governments have-ac
cepted iwitiungattt to-tbi.eea,
After further argument in tlflaeojioction,
Mr. Sumner said:: In.exehtogeforthese pris
oners we reccivefrom Great' BritaiU a practi
cal assent, too long deferred, to rn principle
early propounded by oqr ebuntry/and staud
fiog forth on every page* of our history. Thef
sata* voice which asks for their liberation, : re*
bounces in tbe same breath an odiuas preten
sion,Tor whole generations the .scourge, of.
‘peaecfqt’ cdmmdreo.' though
practically contributing to tho establishment
of freedom beyond all other-nations in her
contributions to .municipal law, : ha«, -in
maritime questions' : the
law. of nations, itpposed gpoh weaker
nations her" own arbitrary will. The
boast of “Britania rales tbe. wares'', was.
practically adopted by British Courts of Ad
miralty, and universal maritime rights were
subjected to tbo special exigencies of British.,
interests. In tbe consciousness of strength,'
afl’d' with a navy ihat could not be opposed,
she has put chains upon, theaea. The Ameri
can commerce was cruelly decimated by those
arbitrary pretensions. The belligerent right
of search was employ edand the quarter deck
of every British cruiser was made a floating
judgemontscat, and the impressment of Amer
: icon eitikoos from the protection oftbe Amori
. can flag was comxpictedby.tbo 6,000
“cases are recarded in oar Departmont of State,
and .Lord Caslereah himself admitted inthe
■House of Commons that. 3,500;; men, jn the
British fleet claimed to be American citizens.
.Protest, argument, negotiation, correspond

Untied Slates to‘ procure a're

recent reply of Mr. Beward rto Lord Lyons.
Tim continued occasion of conflict it now bop:
ptiy'removed, and tbo pretension, disappears
forever, to take its place among the curiosi
ties of the past.
- '• Mr. Sumner fortifies fair positions by nu
merous extract* from American state papers.
He then says : Such is an Authentic history
of-the BritiahSprotension and tbe manner in
which It was met by our Government, and
now,the special argument foriherly directed
by na against ibis pretension is directed
by great Britain against tho pretention of.
Capt.'Wilkes to take two rebel prisoners from.

'Washington, Jan. o.— An attempt was
made last night to blow np. the .mansion
House, in Alexandria. This was formerly
occupied as a hotel, but is- now occupied as a.
hospital. A barrel of powder had bean sccro
ted in tho cellar, filled, with powder and pro
jectiles, and a fuse was found extending from
there to the stable. In proximity to the com
bustible?, lucifer matohee and Chinese crackers
had been plentifully distributed. Jibe fuse
end at the stable had Actually been ignited,
but this foot was fortunately discovered by
the gnat d. and tbe progress of the slow fire
. extinguished. But for this watchfulness and
prompt action not only ttould several hnndred
lives probably have been-loßt but other casu
alties resulted.

- Jan. 9.—Tho Democratic
Convention convened yesterday morning and
was pretty largely attended. Every county
kuteight.were represented. ThomaaA.llon
.dricks, of Marion, was-appointed President.- •
Hia remark*, on taking the chair went se
vere against the Republican party, and the
policy of the present Administration.
Atest rote was taken on a proposition to
make a platform and adjourn without nomi
nating candidates, which was lost—yeas 72
nays 421. V
After recess a platform and resolutions were j
reported and passed under the 00-operation of
‘the previous question.
The resolutions sot forth that the restora
tion to power of the Democracy ■ can alone'
E reserve the Union ; endorse the principles
eretofore put forth by the National. Conven
tion of the party; declare that the present civil
war mainly resulted from the slavery agita
tion, and consequent organization of V
geographical party In the Northern States,
producing its counterpart in the- South of
secession, disunion-'and .armed, resistance,
to the government;, condemning .the course of
the. republicans' in tho.last Congress'for the
rejection of all peace propositions; that.peace
and harmony would now reign had the party ;
is power shown the same desire to settle the
internal that it recently exhibited
to avoid a war "with: England; that) the.
republicans, . fully.,demonstrated iheir
inability -to conduct the government
through the present difficulties ; denouncing
all violations of the. Constitution as usurpa
tions of power ; the. disregard of the writ of
habeas corpus, and the imprisonment of oiti
; sens in the loyal-States are flagrant violations
of the Constitution. "The seizure of Mason
and Slidell was either legal or illegal. If the.
foirmer neither nation has been humitiated by
' thesurrender; under threats of tbe lattertbey
should have been delivered up before impris
onment.
