BEDFORD, PA., FRIDAY, MARCH 3. 1885.
THE TROUT CASE AGAIN."
Whilst it is proper that newspapers should lay
before their readers impartial accounts of the
proceedings of the Courts, it is exceedingly to be
desired that nothing shoald be published tending
to prejudice the minds of the public, from whom
jurors are to be selected, in regard to a case yet tct
• be adjudicated.
It is not to he supposed that our Copperhead
eotepiporary cares for such a consideration. The
utter disregard of truth exhibited in the pervert
ed statement of the facts in the Trout case for
bids any such idea.
Whether the man, or men, who shot Frederick
C. Mock are guilty or innocent of ar. offence a
gainst the laws, and whether, if guilty, the
offence was murder in the first, or in the second
degree or manslaughter, is a question for the tri
bunal before which they may be tried, and the
declaration of the Gazette that
' 'There -should be no hesitation oe the part of
any jury called to try these men, to convict them
of murder in the first degree,
is a continuous manifestation ,of the same parti
san malignity which originated and prosecuted
the indictments against the Trouts.
The officers of the law are urged to do their du
ty. No doubt they will do so without being houn
ded on by the Gazette , whose officious intermed
dling they ought to regard as an impertinent and
insulting imputation on their character.
We advert to the article of our cotemporary,
for the purpose of correcting two misrepresenta
tions. The remainder of its tissue of fabrications
are of no moment, in view of the fact that we
published a fair account of the case in last week's
paper, and also the evidence, in extenso, in our
issues of last week and this week. The Gazette
avers that Judge King, in his charge to the Jury,
declared
' "That soldiers in a body had no business at the
election polls, that their presence there was clear
ly an infraction of the law. and that he hoped they
never would be found there again. Also, that the
Sheriff had a perfect right to issue the proclama
tion which he did issue, calling upon the people to
prevent armed violence at the polls."
, t Judge King is far too skillful a Jurist to have
asserted either the one or the other of these prop
ositions. In the first place the issue before the
Court was the guilt or innocence of James A.
Trout. The expression of an opinion by a judge
on a. point of law foreign tc the issue, is a mere
dictum, regarded as of no weight as authority, and
exceedingly unprofessional and objectionable as
.likely to be embarrassing when the point fairly ar
rises for consideration and adjudication. In the
second place it did not appear in the evidence, and
it is not the fact. that, the soldiers were present,
in a body, or individually, at the polls, nor that
they did, or attempted to do, anything calculated
or intended to interfere in any way with the elec
tion. It is true they were at Gideon Trout's house,
ate their meals there, had their arms stacked on
his side porch, and their horses in his stable; and
Trout's house is, perhaps, about one hundred yards
from the place of election. Their object was to
arrest deserters, and the nearest they were to the
election house during the hours of the election
was in passing on the public highway, at some dis
tance off, in their way to the Ridge, where it was
said some deserters were lurking.
But tan it be controverted that the Government
has the right to arrest deserters wherever they can
be found, though that should bp at the place of
election itself ? And any state law in controveu
tion of this right (if there were any such, which
we deny) would be utterly inoperative and void.
It will be some time before our designing contem
porary perverts Judge King into a states-rights
Democrat The meaning of our state law clearly
is, that no body of troops shall be present at the
polls to interfere in any way with the election.—
Will it be alleged that they might not be brought
there under order of the proper authority to quell
a riot, or to resist armed rebels? Suppose that
General Meade had found it necessary to march
into Gettysburg on election day, ought he to have
been met by a proclamation from the Sheriff of
Adam's county, calling upon the people to arm
and drive him out ? The object of a law, the in
tent of the law-givers, and the condition of the
country, are to be looked at in giving it a fair con
struction. Qui haeret in litem, haeret in cor tier.
And this brings us to the proclamation of the
Sheriff which the Gazette says Judge King travel
led out of the record to approve of. It is well
known that several hundred drafted men in this
county had failed to report; that many of them
were concealed in the woods and mountains, and
that some were organized into armed bands for the
purpose of resistance ; that the draft was denoun
ced by pariy leaders as tyrannical and unconstitu
tional, and that it was an object of vital import
ance to these party leaders to get the vote of these
deserters. Hence the cry a free ballot or a free
fight Hence the call upon Democrats to go arm
ed to the polls. Hence this proclamation of the
Sheriff. It was a mere political trick, well calcu
lated to result in disturbance and riots. The alle
gation that the Government intended to interfere
with the ballot was a reckless partisan falsehood.
What do these partisan leaders care for law, ex
cept as a means for party success ? We are infor
med that in Londonderry township the polls were
opened before the lawful hour, to let in the votes
of deserters, and again in the evening after they
were closed, they were secretly re-opened for the
name purpose.
Every man owes allegiance to his country. He
is bound by Divine as well as by Human law to
defend his Government when it is assaulted by for
eign foe or by domestic treason. Those who re
fuse to discharge their duty to their country in its
hour of need do not deserve the right of suffrage.
And this attempt to inspirit deserters so that they
might venture from thier hiding places to the polls
under the belief that armed Democrats would pro
tect them from arrest, deserves the condemnation
of all right thinking citizens.
HON. A. H. COFFROTH.
Perhaps no public man ha* lately been more
scundly and, as we believe, more unjustly abused
by the disunion organs of this Congressional Dis
trict, than the one whose name forms the subject
of our present-article.
When we remember that only a few short months
ago, A. H. Coffroth stood so high in the affections,
and his name dwelt on the tongues, of the loud
mouthed politicians of the once proud Democratic
party, that from them he received the most ful
some panegyric, and that they endeavored by the
lowest chicanery and the vilest frauds that were
ever perpetrated in our midst, to elevate this very
man to the position which he must shortly yield to
his successful competitor, we are surprised. But
when we hear the great chieftain of the chivalry
of this County boldly declare in a public speech
that he hoped that Gen. Koontz would obtain his
seat in the next .Congress, and that Gen. Coffroth
' **•"- ' 'v -
who, as he asserted, had sold his party for thirty
pieces of silver should be kicked out of the party,
and when we read in a resolution dictated by the
same individual that he is guilty of an "act of
base treachery," and "should receive the scorn
contempt and condemnation of every sound Dem
oerat in the District,'' and this in the face of his
former allegations that Geo. Coffroth was legally
elected and that his enemies sought to * 'defraud''
him of his seat, we are led to think—
"Can these things be,
And overcome us like a summer's cloud,
Without onr special wonder ?"
We confess that our astonishment finds no
bounds when we observe the tenacity with which
so many of onr Democratic friends cling to what
the New York World denominates "the dead car
cass of slavery." That same old worn-out motto,
"The Union as it was. and the Constitution as it
is," Is ever unceasingly, harped upon by these
stationary creatures who can never look beyond
the present. No rational persons can now see
anything but the total eradication and extinction
of slavery—the root of all our disasters and the
declining prop of the Rebellion.
But, alas, for our modern Democrats when sla
very is abolished and removed from our statute
books, the consequent rights of * 'their bouthren
brethren," will likewise disappear in gossamer,
and they will then be unable to avail themselves
of any pretext to justify secession and treason,
and to withhold their support to the Government
and to the maintairi&nce of the due supremacy of
the lawa We do not intend to become the advo
cate nor even the apologist of A. H. Coffroth, but
we are constrained to say that his present vote has
done more to redeem his character as a statesman,
and to give him place and Confidence than all his
past acts combined. We believe that those six
teen Democrats in Congress who, for the time,
forgetting party and looking only tojeountry, have
each rendered.their names historic, and will ever
be gratefully remembered by posterity. The men
of to-day may despise them, but coming genera
tions will bless their memory. The eulogiums of
time-serving and truculent politicians may rot be
theirs to enjoy, but after poets will celebrate their
praises, and future historians will embalm their
memory in an immortality of freshness and glory.
Having cut loose from that foul institution which
has engendered and fostered all our woes, they now
belong to Freedom and compose the true roll of
honor.
INTERESTING QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
RELATIVE TO THE 7-30 U. S. LOAN.
Mr. Jay Cooke, of Philadelphia, who for so long
a time had the management of the popular 500
million 5-20 loan, has just been appointed by Sec
retary Fessenden, the General Agent to dispose of
the only popular loan now offered for sale by the
Government, viz : the "SEVEN-THIRTY.
In entering upon his duties he desires to answer
plainly the large number of questions daily and
hourly propounded to him, so that His fellow
countrymen may all understand what this "Seven-
Thirty Loan" is—what are its peculiar merits —
how they can subscribe for or obtain the notes, Ac,
Ist Question. Why is this loan called the "Sev
en-Thirty" Loan ?
Answer. It bears interest, in currency, at the
rate of seven dollars and thirty cents each year, on
every hundred dollars : making the interest as fol
lows :
One cent per day on each $ sl> note.
Two cents" " 100 "
Ten " " " 500 "
Twenty " " 1,000 "
One dollar " " 5.000 "
Id Question. When and how can they be ob
tained ?
Answer. They are for sale, at par, and accrued
interest, by all Sub-Treasuries, National and oth
er Banks, and all Baukers and Brokers.
3d Question. When is the interest payable and
how can it be collocted ?
Answer. The Coupons or Interest Tickets are
due 15th of February and 15th of August in each
year, and can be cut off from the note, and will be
cashed by any Sub-Treasurer, tJ. S. Depository,
National or other Bank or Banker.
4th Question. When must the Government pay
off these 7- 30s ?
Answer. They are due in two years and a half
from the 15th of February, 1865 ; viz : on the 15th
of August, 1867.
sth Question. Must I receive back my money so
soon as 1867 ?
Aimcer. No! not unless yon yourself prefer to
do so —the Law gives you the right to demand from
the Government, at that time, either your money
or an equal amount at par. of the famous and pop
ular 5-20 Gold hearing 6 per cent Loan.
6th Question. How much do you consider this
privilege of conversion, into 5-20 Loan to be worth?
Answer. 5-20s bearing Gold Interest from Ist
of November, are to-day worth 9 per cent premi
am. If they are worth no more at the end of the
two years and ah alf, when you have the right to
them, than they now are, this premium added to
the interest you receive, will give you 'at least
10 per cent per annum for your money—but the o
pinion is that they will be worth more than 9 per
cent premium at that time.
7 th Question. What other advantage Li there in
investing in the 7-30 Loan?
Answer. It cannot be taxed by States, Counties
or Cities, and this adds froir. one to three per cent,
per annum to the net income of the holder, accor
ding to the rate of taxation in varius localities. All
bonds and stocks, except those of the Uuited
States, and all mortgages, &c., are taxed, not on
ly by the Government, but by States, Counties and
Cities.
Bth Question. How does the Government raise
the money to pay the interest, and is it safe and
sure ?
Answer. The Government collects, by taxes, in
ternal revenue, and duties and imports, fully three
hundred millions each year. This is nearly three
times as much as is needed to pay the interest on
all the debt, and as soon as the war is ended, the
amount not needed to pay the interest will he used
in paying off its debt. Our Government has twice
paid all its debt , and can easily do so again. The
interest is sure to be paid promptly, and the debt
itself is the very safest investment in the world-
It is as safe as a mortgage on a good farm, and
pays a better interest It is, in fact, a First Mort
gage on all lands, all incomes, all railroad and ca
nal bonds, and bank or other stocks, mortgages,
&e.
Nothing can be safer, for we are all bound forit
and all that we have is firmly held for the payment
of principal and interest. How foolish these peo
ple are, who keep their gold and greenbacks idle
and locked up, or purchase fnortgages or railroad
stocks and bonds, which pay only 5 or 6 per cent
interest, when these Seven-Thirties pay (counting,
the premium on Five-Twenties,) over ten percent.,
and are so much safer and surer
9th Question. Row many Seven-Thirties are
there, and how much remains unsold ?
Answa-. There are only about three hundred
and twenty-five ipilljons authorized by law, and on
ly about one hundred and ninety millions remain
unsold.
10th Question. How long will it take you to sell
the balance ?
Answer. There are about 801) National Banks
all engaged in selling them; also a large number of
the old banks, and at least three thousand private
bankers and brokers, and special agents will be en
gaged in all parts of the country in disposing of
them to the people.
1 Ith Question. How long will it taketo sell the
whole ?
Answer. In less than three months they will be
all sold, and will no doubt then sell at a premium,
as was the ease with the old Seven-Thirties, the
first Twenty-Year Loan, and the Five-Twenties.
The above questions and answers, it is believed,
will give full information to all. If not, the Gen
eral Subscription Agent, or any of the Banks or
Bankers employed to sell the Loan, will be glad to
answer all questions, aud to furnish the Seven-Thir
ties in small or large sums (as the notes are issued
in denominations of SSO, SIOO, SSOO, SI,OOO and
$5,000.) and to render it easy for all to subscribe
thus fulfilling the instructions of Mr. Fessenden,
who earnestly desires that the people of the whele
land, (as well as the capitalists,) shall have every
opportunity afforded them of obtaining a portion
of this most desirable investment.

ARMY CORRESPONDENCE.
HEAD QUARTERS 138 PENN'A. VOLS., |
2D BRIG., 3D DIVISION, 6TH A. C., ,
FORT DUSHANE, FEB., BTH, 1865. j
FRIEND S :
1 thought a few lines from an
oldfrieDd would not come amiss. There has been
a good bit said about peace, now I will give my
opinion on the subject. I can congratulate the j
country that we are soon to have, not a mean,
cowardly, dishonorable peace, obtained by compro
mise with miserable traitors whose hands are red
with the nation's best blood, but an honorable
peace obtained in the field, and on the sea, by our
gallant armies and navy. Such a peace is within
our reach. We only have to put forth our hands
and secure it. lam glad to know that regardless
of the attempt of Jeff Davis to gain time by sen
ding three the shrewdest traitors in the South to
Fortress Monroe to talk and argue with Repre
sentatives of this government, General Grant is
now moving his peacemakers against Wilmington
and Charleston, whilst Lee is helpless in the pent
up Utiea of Richmond, upon the battlements of
which will soon float the emblems of peace, placed
there by the General-in-Chief of the Rebel armies
as a signal of capitulation.
In the West and Southwest our armies are not
in winter quarters, but on the march. Victory is
before them everywhere. lam glad to observe
that the tone of all the respectable papers in the
country, whose opinion is worth a pinch of snuff,
are decidedly against any peace that would not be
alike honorable to the army and navy, and the loy
al people of the United States. The latter in re
electing Abraham Lincoln to the presidency, sol
emnly declared at the ballot box in favor of con
quering a peace, in favor of forcing armed traitors
against their legitimate government to lay down
their arms and submit to the laws, in favor of the
complete abolition of slavery in every State from
the British Provinces to Mexico, and in favor of
punishing the leading rebels for the high crime of
Treason.
This is the only programme of settlement that
will satisfy the loyal people of the nation. If any
person supposes that the President of the United
States will accept any other terms than these,
then they are mistaken; he will neither do this
himself, or permit any other person to do it in his
name. Any peace upon any terms that does not
include the ignominious punishment of the politi
cal leaders of this wicked rebellion is no peace
worth having. Their first business if at large a
g.iin would be to plot another rebellion. This
n ust not be, and I have failh enough ih the wis
d tot and sound statesmanship of those to whom
this matter is entrusted to assert that I know it
will not be. To General Grant we turn for
die peace after which all are yearning, that will be
lasting, and which all true patriots will hail with
joy, a peace that we ean hand down to our chil
dren with safety and with pride, a peace that will
not reflect dishonor upon the memory of our gal
lant dead, nor bring a blush to the cheeks of a
single soldier or sailor who bravely offered their
lives upon sea and land for their country's salva
tion. Such a peace is at hand, and such a peace
ooly will be dignified and honorable to us as ana
tkm in the eyes of the world.

TESTIMONIALS,
from some of our Eminent Clergymen.
HARHISBIRC, Feb. Bth, 1861.
C. A. BAXSV ART — Dear Sir: I have used Brown's
Bronchial Troches, Wi-tar'e Lozenges and other prepara
tions for hoarseness and Throat Troubles, and in compar
ison with them all, can cheerfully commend your own as
it most admirable specific for pnbiic speakers and singers,
iii cases of Hoarseness, coughs and colds I have found
them serving in time of need most effectually.
To C. A. BAV Sv A TlT— Dear Sir: In the habit of speak
ing very frequently, and in places where the vocal organs
; re very mnch taxed, I have found the need of some gen
tle expectorant, and that want has been supplied in your
cxeellent Troche-. I consider them very far superior to
tmy Lozenges that I have ever used, in removing speedi
ly that huskiness of the voice arising from its too frequent
u.;e, and impairing the effectiveness of the delivery of
public addresses. Yours, Ac..
JNO. WALKER JACKSON,
Pastor of the Loeust Street Methodist Church.
To C. A. BAXRVART — Dear Sir: —Having used your
Troches,T am free to say they are the best I have ever
tried, and take great pleasure in recommending them to
all persons afflicted with soar throat or huskiues- of voice
arising from pnbiic speaking or singing.
Yours, Ae..
