C. S. District Court. --The time of this Court yesterday was occupied in the trial of James Tyror, charged with knowingly passing a counterfeit Confederate Treasury note. The successful trial of the accused on the part of the Government hinging on the fact of his knowledge of the spurious character of the note passed by him, and the evidence leaving that point in doubt, the jury gave the prisoner the benefit of the doubt and acquitted him. The Grand Jury of this Court will meet today to take cognizance of the case of Geo. W. Elam, who is charged with an offence similar to Tyrer's. E. F. Husted may be tried to day, for an alleged attempt to bribe the Commissioner of Patents.
