Dy a special act of Assembly but two jury courts are held each year; but a third or a fourth can be, if deemed ne cessary by tho court. Three jury courts were held in tho year ISCii, viz: February, May and December. You will remember that I referred to tho fact asserted in tho petition "that tho county is intensely Democratic," that wo polled nearly a two-thirds vote. Let us see how the juries were compo-ed. In the traverse-Jury, of February, 181SH, I 11ml the names of ten Republicans and twenty-ono Democrats, and live wlio.-e political proclivities aro to me tin- Known, uu tno traverse jury, oi -mij. his namo is not found on tho certified ist, nor on tho rooordd sent to Sullivan county. It was only tho wickedness of tno Hearts ol llioso men, or uicir parti san feelings, thnt caused this dilllcully. Tliero was no evidence, i nm liiiormcu, beforo tho election botird that this man was a deserter. You cannot Unci any evidence on tho record that ho wns a tlcst rt t ; ami now they coino hero ami mnko tho assertion thnt ho was n well known deserter. Tho gentleman irom Hradford county, In tho House, Mr. Kinnev.l referred to tho very "patriotic class of citizens who fought Leo In Can ada." etc. 1 would advise tho gentle man not to no so very narti upon ins rim i ran lr oik s ol Hill lvnu county. Ho thought tho stump speeches ho used In Hradford County would do to uso in tlm bnll of thn lloiisn of ltenresenta- tlves, and thought they would apply to tho Democratic party, when, unfortun ately, they applied moro to his own lr em s t urn to tno J'emocriuic puny. Communications have been sent to tho naiiersof hradford and Sullivan coun ties, by sonio person claiming to bo an outsider, but who, I believe, is nmem- oer, in wnicn tney navo endeavored to cxcHonnd get up a partisan feeling, in wliicli thevsav tusticc cannot bo done unless this cao is transferred. 1 nm anxious that, wherever this caso. is tried, it shall bo tried upon the merits of tho case, without parti san feelim? enterinc Into It. 1 ue- ltnvn Hio ...in lin ilnno In tlm pnnntv of Sullivan; I bclievo it cannot botlono in tno county oi urauioru 1 think tlie member of tho other branch made n trreat mistako in excit ing partisan feellngsinlJradford county, Tho other member from Hradford IMr, Webbl made a statement In tho llolt-e in regard to which 1 wish to say that ho was laboriin? under n wrousr impression lie said thnt circulars had been issued there, signed by myself and others, in which it was agreed to defray tho ex penses of deserters, provided wo could have their votes.

If ajuilge, or Inspector, acting unon Ids best iudirmcut. honestly re jects a voto as illegal, he cannot be con victed ot a misdemeanor, niinougn no was mistaken as to tho law. lie can only bo punished when he acts corrupt lynot for tho honest exercise of his judgment. Now. I wi-h to ask nny member m this Senate if ho would ask any judge to charge ililferently. Judge Klwell is uu honest, upright and conscientious man, and as a man and as a judge, wo ire all proud ot mm. no says: "Ho can only bo punished when ho nets corruptly, not for tho honest exer- clso of his iudirnieut."
