Mysterious DcntU of our Associ
ate Judge,
HON. 1'KTKIIK. 11EU11EIN.
On Thursdoy of last weokitho peoplo
of our county wcro astounded by tho
news that Judgo Ilerbeln hud been
found dead in tho mill race, on his
premises ue.irSlabtown,iu this county,
At lust, many ucliovcd that some
thoughtless person had started the im
probablo story as a First of April Joke,
but lute? Intelligence proved that tho
rumor was too true. Many supposed
that because of financial embarrass'
ments ho, had committed suicide, while
tho mass of his neighbors belioved that
on account of a fit, or ofa rush of blood
.to tho head, ho had fallen into tho
stream and was drowned.
Wo can hardly reconcile either of
tliesq theories with tho facts, and are
constrained to believe thai Judge Ilerbein
was foully dealt with! In support of
this belief we will detail tho facts at
tending his death, so faros known.
On AVednesday, wo believe, ho sold
his property, including his mill to Dan
iel Morris, for 1 1,000, and $300 of It was
paid down, and $1,700 was to ha vo been
paid April 1st, when possession was .to
have been given. Tho Wednesday
evening! previous to his death, he made
an arrangomcnt with ills son .Rolando,
to meet him early tho following morn
ing, In order to remove from tho mill
somo articles which wero not included
in tho sale,
In pursuanco of this arrangement ho
nroso about 5 o'clock on Thursday mor
ning, and proceeded to tho mill, which
is across tho public road from his resi
dence, and In reaching which he must
pass his saw-mill, and tho race leading
to It. Probably fifteen minutes after
ho had left tho house, a younger sou
.started for the grist-mill, and passing
to tho rear of it found his father lying
lengthwise 'in tho raco, with his face
doicn. Ho at onco cajled for assistance,
and Albert and another brother cumo
and lifted tho body to the bank. Ho
was quito'dead.. On tho right aidu of
his head were three 'wounds, and one
on tho left side. That on tho right side
behind tho ear, was over an inch in di
ameter, and penetrated tho skull, being
in tho opinion of Dr. Vastlne, (who
examined it), sufficient In itself to pro
dueo death. His hat was on tho bank
of tho stream. From tho top of the bank
to tho water is only cightoon inches,
and tho depth of tho water only six in
ched, not enough to submerge his head.
There was a large stono in tho bottom
of the race, near whero ho lay, and on y
one:
Judge Ilerbeln was not a man likely
to commit suicide. Ho enjoyed life, mid
was an open-hearted, genial man. 1 Us
wile of tho property ho thought an ex
cellent one, and ho did not express any
apprehensions on account of financial
ailitlrs. Ho had gono to bed In good
health, slept soundly through tho night
and neither by word nor deed, din ho
Indlcatoan Intention to commit suicide,
nor did anything transpire to lead to
tho belief that his mind was unsettled.
Then, wat it an accident f If so, how
carao his body lengthwise In tho stream?
From whence camo that deep wound in
tho head ? Certainly not from frill ng a
few inches onto a stono beneath the wa
ter. But suppose it occurred that way;
how camo thero to bo a wound on tho
opposite sldo J Tho fall could not pro
duco both.
Tho question may bo asked, what
motive could any one have in murder
ing so estimable a citizen ? Ho had al
ways led a peaceful Ilfo and had noeno
mica. Tho answer may bo found in tho
fact that lie had been paid $300 the day
ueioro. ani mo oeuei was current in
tho neighborhood that he had received
812,000, u suiucicm sum to tempt tno cu
Dldlty of n villain. However, our rciv
derscan draw their own inferences.
from tho facts. Certain it is thero is
there is much mystery as to tho man
nor of his death which wo 'should liko
to sco solved.
Judgo Herbcin was born Sept, 11th,
JE09, in Oiy townshlp.Uerkscounty.Pu.
and was aged CO yearn, 0 months and
HO days. In ills youth ho emigrated
with his parents to Columbia county,
nnd engaged lo the business of farming.
In 1651 he wtu elected Justice of tho
peacufor Locust township, this county,
and received ills commission of Win.
liigler, then Governor of tho Common
wealth of Pennsylvania. A few years
since tho people of Columbia county
clotted hlui one of tho Associato Judges
of our Courts, which oillco ho held un
til tlio day of his death. As a husband
und father, ho was uffectlonato and in
dulgent; as a neighbor, kind and peace
ful, and an a publlo olllcor, elUclcut und
Jioncbt. Tho manner of his deatli
caused among his uclghborsand friends,
horrow and badness. His mortal re
.mains wore conveyed to tho Luthi ran

peoplo to break away from on unjust

8olyc4 those advantages which full rep
rcsentation Is so well calculated to pro

Certainly tho plan abovo mentioned
for the choice of Inspectors of Elections
is ono of vcry grcat merit. It lias two
strong reasons in its favor. In' tho first
placo it gives to both political parties

suit or effect that cumultttivo voting
would havo. For if each voter had two
votes and should bo allowed to glvo
thqin both to ono candidate, u minority
exceeding onb-third or tho wholo num
ber or Voters could securo 'ono of tho
Inspectors, exactly as they can now so
euro ono under tho plan of tho limited
vote. , In tho particular caso of In
spectors of Flection thereforo thero is
no practical difference, In result between
thu limited and tho cumulative vote-
Either will securo to a minority or one-
third or upwards ono of tho Inspectors,
And tho same, remark will apply to tno
manner of choosiug Jury Commission
era under tho existing law or this Com
iininwcalth.
John Stuart Mill observes, that the
limited voto must bo always and inevi
tably unpopular, because it cuts' down
tho privileges' of the voter, whilo tho
cumulative vote on tho contrary, ex
tends them. Tho difference between tho
two however (as wo havo seen) is moro
apparent than' real in any case whero
two.ofllelals aro to bo'choscn by. a con
stituency, yet it will bo worthy of con
sldcratlon always in tho Introduction
of reform in the manner, of voting.
When thoelcction laVof 1830 compelled
voters to Voto for but (ino Inspectorial
though two wore to be chosoii, thero
was somo complaint nmong tho peoplo
as thero was' also moro recently when
tho same plan was opplled to tho cleC'
tlon of Jury Commissioners. It seemed
to many that their privileges as voters
wcro curtailed, time, uieir rignts
wero injuriously affected by tho law.-
If however, tho cuniulativo plan of yo
ting had been selected (though tho samo
result would have been produced) thero
would liavo been no such complaints.
Allowing to tho voter his two votes and
simply authorizing him to bestow them
at his pleasuro upon ono or two candid
ates, would havo had no appearance
even of restricting his privileges as an
elector, but rathor of extending them.
It would liavo been ia moro popular
form of votlngito accomplish an impor
tant, Just and. useful purpose.
It Is to bo further observed that thero
Is n material, practical dHfereuco be
tween tho two plans as npplicablo to
elections where three persons aro to bo
chosen. ,By cumulation a minority ex
ceeding one-fourth, of tho constituency
can elect ono of tho three, whorcas by
tlio. limited Yoto.-a minority ,ox.cood-
ing one- third will bo required. Of courso
under either plan tho.ranjorlty cau -always
elect at Joast two of tho three
members to be chosen.
It is our opinion that Jury Commis
sioners in tills State should bo abollscd,
not becuuso tlio manner of choosing
them is bad, but became tlio oillco is
worse than useless. Wo agree that if
wo aro to havo Jury Commissioners
they ought to bo chosen upon tho plan
or tho limited or upon tlio plan of tho
cuniulativo vote. They aro tolerated
only because they aro chosen upon an
improved plan of voting, But all their
duties can bo well discharged by other
officials, already provided by law, and
any necessary or proper reform In tho
selecting of Jurors, can bo fully secured
without them. But wo reserve tho care
ful examination or this subject for a fu
ture number.

resistance by ony citizens lo tho arrest
or alleged deserters, that ton men could
arrest them as sarely as ten hundreds
and concluded by making tho same
offer to him, that had already been
mado to Gen. Couch. Col. Stewart also
declined.
This persistent refusal on tlio part of
tlio military authorities to becomo ac
quainted Willi our jicoplo, and mako
themselves familiar with localities and
facts, argues very strongly that tho ob
ject of tjio raid upon our County hail
an entirely different object than tlio ono
so ostentatiously set forth, to wit, tho
nrrest anu mustering into servico o.
noii-rpiiorltnc drafted men. Thov list
cned only to tho false, malicious nnd
oxacrircrated reports and stories or tho
enemies of tho people, nnd woro thus
propareu 10 "acour tno L.ounty."
And to provo bovond controversy
that such was tho case, tho fact exists
that during tlio timo tho troops wcro
encamped on tno wiir urounus, a cav'
nlry olllcor told Col. Frcczo in tlio pros
onco or Col. Hiram R. Kline. Messrs
Lovi Cox, Martin Ammermau and
Cyrus Bobbins, that ho had been told
oy o prominent republican tnat to ins,
tho republican's, "certain knowledge
therd wcro llvo hundred non-reporting
drafted .men up tho creek." Another
republican who had a corn fiold adjoin
inir tho trrounds or near them, renuest
ed the soldiers not to tnko any roasting
ears from his patch, and pointed out to
them ono belonging to a 'copperhead,"
which was a proper object for destruc
tion and spoliation. Again, when Gen,
Couch first nrrlvcd at Bloomsburg ho
was advised to call upon Senator Buck'
alow who had Just returned from a sos
sion at Washington ; whereupon tlio
General mounted Cedar Hill, "solitary
and alono," and round tho Senator nt
won; in a lieid. no tnon detailed to
him his dreadful story or insurrection
in tho Fishing Crock Country and in
sisted that it was very oxtcnslvo
and dancrerous. and that it was renre
seated lo him (Couch) thai Colonel Aline
was the leader. Mr. Buckalew's reply
was, as wo aro informed, that ho bad no
particular lniormation or wnat nau oc
curred in tho Creek region beyond
newspaper statements ; that ho did not
boliovo thero was any trencral combina
tion . or tho inhabitants to resist the
drufi: that tho statement nbout Col
Kline was inconsistent with thocharac'
ter or that gentleman and was no doubt
a juisoiioou, tnnt in nis opinion any
military or. civil officer could proceed
into any oi tno upper townsiups witn

was about to mako to Niagara and ac'
company Couch to.uny placo ho might
desirn in vlsil. in tlin nnnnl.v for tlio im
ccrtainincntof tho truth. The General
alleged that ho was pressed for time,
and tho, intorviow closed. Tho Radical
leaders no doubt had given Couch his
story, and it would seem they were
very anxious to liavo Col. Kllno, (an
activo Democrat and ro3noctablo crontle-
man,) arrested. In fact ft is very likely
that Couch's visit to Mr. Buckalow and
tho emphatic statement mado by tho

bor of thoso to whom its cxistenco
is
attributable, as to render an extended
account unnecessary. Wo havo always
been warmly in favor of it, and in this
day of Its triumph, wo certainly see no
causo for chango of opinion. Suffice it
to say that it is to its tnei-lts und not to
public or personal .favoritism that
owes its success.
Tho exercises to which woalludo,
were highly creditabio to tho pupils
engaged and gavo evidence of
marked Improvement over provious
exhibitions or tho samo kind. Original
compositions and orations, recitations
colloquies and vocal und instrumental
music composed tho programme or each
evening. Tho good effects of tlio teach-
tigs nud diselplino of tlio school wcro
apparent not only in tlio subject matter
of tho original articles, but also in tlio
stylo or thoir delivory. There was lit
tie or nono or that painful timidity
called "stogo fright" which destroys
tho pleasuro of so many school exhlbl'
tions, and nono of tho unpleasant for
wardness which is frequently exhibited
by children whoso zeal overruns their
discretion. Quietness, promptness and
accuracy wero as a rulo observable in
all things and aro evidently character
istlc of tho management of tho school.
Tlio music was good nnd arranged In
pleasing diversity. Oil each evening,

verses Instead of two.

among tho hordoorofnea seekers thero

tho Secretary's oillco to read over tho

many wero disappointed In not seeing

who had failed to recognize their claim,
and roward them for servico rendered
the "loyal causo."

sentatives called upon tho President, ir
not incompatible with tho public inter
ests, to furnish a list of vessels captured

THE TENUllE-OF-OPPICE HILL SIGNED.
As foreshadowed in this correspon
denco, tho President to day notified tho
Houso of his approval of tho bill
amending tho tonuro-of-oflico act. This
settles tho question for tho present, nnd
shows that Grant is by no means tlio
firm character ho has been so extensive
ly represented to bo.
Washington, April 0.
CONOUESS.
Tlio present session of Coneress Is
about to expire nnd for all that It has
done, It might as well liavo nover been
convened. Tho proceedings to-day
wero unusually dull and uninteresting
and there is little or no prospect or tho
passage or any useful or important
measure oro tho final adjournment on
Saturday noxt. Tho timo of tho major-
Hy of eacii Houso is taken up in seek
ing offices for thoir friends, and tho last
thing thought of is tho consideration
and passago of any measure calculated
to benefit tho country. It would ho
better for tho peoplo if Congress should
only assemblo onco. every ten years.
Tlio real causo of all our troubles is too
much Congress, and, consequently, too
much bad legislation and too much ras
cality In high places.
Blanc J. Joubort was confirmed to
day to bo Assessor of tlio 1st District of
Louisiana, and also O. S. H. Wall, Jus-
tico of tlio Peaco of tho District of Co

sion, and passed finally.

inures, geldings, mules nnd meat cattlo
from taxation for Stato purposes.
Houso bill No. 1872, an act rclativo to
tlio relief of tho poor In Danville, Mon

COLUMBIA COUNTY, PA.
U rant's lllunilcrs.
The career or Mr. Grant lias been
moikcd thus far by a series of calami
tous blunders, which havo not had tho
effect of gaining him friends or admi
rers In his own party or tho country nt
largo. Assuming tho reins of govern
ment with on cxpiesscd conlldonco lu
Ids own abilities, ho lias signally railed
to glvo ovldonco of possessing any. Ills
mistakes began with his induction Into
ofllco. tho Cablnctoflils choosing being
such nn unreliable plcco of furniture ns
to fall to pieces of itself. Ills' Sccrelary
of the Treasury was disqualified
by law, his Secretary of Stato by igno
ranee. Ho recalled pardons Issued by
his predecossor, until Informed by his
own Attorney General of tho utuawiui
ncss or tlio proceeding. Tlio various
bureaus of tho War Department by his
order wcro absorbed by tho General of
tho Army and their respective heads
mado moro staff officers. This also was
round to bo Illegal and tho order r0'
voked. Ho appointed Gcorgo A. Hal
sey Register of tho Treasury, but ho
was found legally incompetent to servo,
His inaugural address promised tlio
strict enforcement of all laws, however
unpopular they might be: but two laws
nro found to affect him personally and
ho requests Cougress to abolish them.
Tho Senato In both tlieso cascs.tho Civ
it Tenure Law and that debarring Mr,
Stowart from the Treasury ,have refused
to comply with tho request.
Tho offices of tho government nro ro'
gatded by him as personal perquisites
attached to tho Presidency, and to bo
used for tho advancement of his faml
ly and tho roward of such warm heart
cd friends ns may have been Instrument
tal in furnishing him with personal
property, livestock or real estate. Wo
owalt with pleasurable anxiety tho per
pctratlon or somo such outrageous as
sault on common sense and law as shall
hold him and with him tho party
which lie is thu ostenslblo bu.id, to tho
scorn nnd derision or tho land. "Great
Moral Ideas" oro not Identical wltl
