Conviction of a Noted Counterfeiter.

--Manassas, or "Minnie" Price, was convicted in Philadelphia on a charge of having counterfeit money in his possession. His conviction is regarded as a great triumph for justice, the fact being well known to the police that he was an extensive dealer in counterfeit money, and his house a grand distributing point for bogus money. The Pennsylvanian says Price had correspondents all over the Union, whom he supplied with counterfeit money, and his books, with the names of his correspondents in various sections, written in cabalistic characters, were secured at the time the descent was made upon his house.
