C. S. District Court.

--The Grand Jury of the above Court meets at 12 o'clock to-day, at which time they will act on some twenty indictments prepared against George W. Elam, Curtis Pridgeon, (an Italian with sundry aliases, called Louis Napoleon,) and James Tyrer, all of whom are charged with perpetrating frauds on the Treasury Department, by stealing its blank holes and forging signatures in order to swindle the people into a belief of their genuineness. The accused are all in prison, and the witnesses in Richmond, and likely to be before the Court, so that but little doubt remains but the conviction of some of the parties will be secured.
