A Leaf from the Testimony . Taken to Sustain the Motion to Quash the Panel. The Motion Sustained by Judge Taylor. It gives us pleasure to be able to lay before our readers the greater portion of the testimony of Messrs. Woods and Shout; taken before His Honor, Judge Taylor, to sustain the motion to set aside the jury panel for the year 1570. Here it is in all its naked ugliness : W. H. Woods, sworn. Question. State what you know about the Jury Panel—how formed, drawn, &c., for this term of Court ? Answer. Mr. Shontz, one of the Jury Commissioners, and I met on Wednesday. I think about 11 o'clock. He said he did not know what his duties were. I suppose there were about a half-dozen persons pre sent. I invited him and Harris Richard son to my house for dinner. In the room he said he had lists from nearly all parts of the county. He wanted me to give him some names from Dublin township. I did so; gave him some twenty or thirty names. Q. You say you gave him some twenty or thirty names from Dublin township ? Did you give him any other names ? A. I think I gave him James Port's name, and a few others from Huntingdon borough. Q. Then you gave some twenty or thirty names from Dublin township and a few from Huntingdon borough; any oth ers ? A. I think I gave a few names from Mount Union borough. Q. Did you furnish any other names than those you have mentioned ? A. No, sir. NONE WHATEVER. Q. Did you recommend him to erase any names from his lists ? A. No, sir. I MADE NO SUCH RE- COMMENDATION Q. Did you make any suggestion to him in regard to names being added or erased from his lists? A. None ; exc,eptivAltal I hare al. ready stated. • Q. You are interested in• the trial of causes, as an attorney, at t this tee,are you not ? A. I am au attorney interested in thin trial of causes at this term, and expect to continue to practice at this Court. Geo. W. Shontz, (Jury .Cemmissioner,) sworn. Question. State what you know as to the making up and drawing of the Jury for this Court? [Mr. Woods objected to the witness an swering. Said be had no right to answer such questions. After a parley between the counsel the subject was referred to his Honor, Judge Taylor, who said : "I think, tbr his own boner, he should tell all he knows about it."] Witness then pro ceeded : Answer. I came to town on Wednes day, about 11 o'clock ; was in Mr. Woods' offiCe. He invited Harris. Richardson and myself to dine with bin,. While sitting in the room, we got to talking about the Jury.

Mr. Speer was there. We talked some about the Jury and I went to the Prothonotary's office to aid in drawing the Jury. We submit this testimony to our read ers without further comment. It speaks for itself. Honest men of Huntingdon county, what do you think of it ? This is one of the many ways in which the League has worked. Hew is this? The Bellefonte Watchman says : ' , The report that Senator John Scott, of this State, refused to receive the extra sal ary, is incorrect. He voted against the salary grab, but was one of the first to grab it after the act became a lam."—Altoona Daily Tribune 28th April. Meek knew when he was penning the above quoted lines that he was uttering a base slander. He had no doubt seen, as everybody else did, a certificate of the Comptroller of the Treasury, published all over the country, certifying that Mr. Scott bad refused to accept the extra sala ry. Mr. Scott acted consistently; he vo ted against the steal and he refused to re ceive stolen goods. go_ We are on the eve of a great strug gle with the railroad corporations of the country, says the State Journal, these con cerns seeming anxious to make issues for the control of all other interests, and as a consequence, "all hands" are beginning to be raised against them. In the. West, the issue is with the farmers; in the East, with the manufacturers; in the Middle States, and particularly Pennsylvania, with the miners and retail sellers of coal. Some one is homed to ge ender. Who ? THE LOUISIANA MURDERERS No man or woman with human sympa thies can read the official report of the Colfax massacre without a chili of horror. There is nothing in the circumstances to mitigate the deed. It was a cold-blooded butchery, such as has few parallels, if any, on the pages of history; and yet we find the Democratic press, as a general thing, 'endeavoring to palliate the massacre by throwing the blame upon the Federal ad ministration and the Kellogg government. "We do not find," says the Pittsburgh Commercial, "in any Democratic paper any demand for the utter extinction of the white race in Louisiana, because of the wholesale murder of negroes by whites in Grant .parish, in that State; and we look in vain through them, also, for any denun ciation of the heinous and appalling crime committed by these blood-thirsty and treacherous Louisianians. These same Democratic papers were loud and constant in their calls for vengeance upon the whole Indian race because a handful of Modocs had cruelly and treacherously murdered those with whom they were holding peace ful converse; but they excuse, justify, and in some cases applaud the hundred-fold worse treachery of the Louisiana assassins. "The difference is easily accounted Mr. The Louisiana cut-throats vote the Demo cratic ticket and belong to the Democratic party, and the Indians not only have no vote, but the Government is pursuing a course of kindness toward theta, the failure of which the Democrats would be glad to bail. To stand by the Demccratic thugs of Louisiana is. therefore, a duty equal to that of opposing the Indian policy of the Administration ; and both duties are dis charged with an ardor which is in no wise damped by the fact that a defense of whole sale murder is as much required in one case as a denunciation of it in the other. It is all wrong, in their eyes, for Indians to murder any one; but it is all right for Louisiana Democrats to murder negroes by the hundreds, to roast them alive, and to slaughter them after they had surrendered as prisoners of war. EDITOR "The Medea massacre is not for one mo ment to be compared, in atrocity, to the Louisiana massacre. Two men were treacherously slain by the Modocs; over one hundred were as treacherously put to death by the Captain Jacks of Louisiana. The men killed at the lava bed were stri ving to negotiate a peace with the men who slew them; and those killed at Grant court house were killed after surrendering in good faith to the villains who butchered them. The Fort Pillow massacre is the only parallel to it; and the event proves that perfidiousness and bloody cruelty are not confined to the Indian race. There are white as well as copper-colored Modocs; and the former being more numerous than the latter (at least in Louisiana), simply differ from their Indian congeners in doing things on a grander scale. "For our part we have no sympathy with murder or murderers anywhere. The masked midnight murderers known as Ku Klux in the South, the bloody-handed assassins who uphold the M'Enery govern ment in Louisiana by wl3olesdle murder, and the cheap-Jack murderers of Oregon are all alike hateful and objeCts of gov ernment vengeance. It may suit the short-sighted politicians of the Democratic party to stand by the Ku Klux and their red-handed brethren in Louisiana, whilst denouncing the Modoos for crimes no worse, but the vision of a justice-loving and murder-hating people is too keen to be blinded by any partisan considerations in passing judgment on such cases. Murder is murder, no matter by whom or for what purpose committed, and the blood of the slain negroes at Grant Court House, in Louisiana, calls as loudly from the ground for vengeance as does that of Gen. Canby. It has been heard, and heard effectually, in one case; shall it go unheeded in the ether ?" By all means let there be a meeting of all the newspaper publishers of the State outside of Philadelphia at an early day. The combination of city papers and Con gressmen to crush the country press de mands unitzd action and combined opposi tion. Let there be a meeting at Harrisburg at an early day—say about the middle of We heartily endorse the above. It is high time the country press unite for their own. interest.—Letaisbury Journal. So du we.—Jersey Shore Herald. So do we; let us teach that large class of congressmen who, unlike the cock-eyed Butler, are made by the country press, that newspaper men have some rights; and that there is a certain well defined point, be yond which forbearance ceases to be a virtue. Bellefonte Republican. Consider us in, too. The time hes come when the country press should act harmo niously and make common-cause against all those who raise their hands against it. Wouldn't it be advantageous for the pa pers in the Juniata Valley to organize a Press Association ? We think it would. One of the most important decisions rendered by the Supremo Court of the United States for a number of years, was delivered last week in a railroad case on a writ of error from the Supreme Court. of Wisconsin. The plaintiff claimed that railroads arc public highways, subject at all times to legislative control as to man agement, tariff rams, &c.; and that, there fore, the State had power to authorize the imposition of taxes to aid in the construc tion of such roads. The State Supreme Court, however, decided that a railroad owned by a private corporation was not public in such sense that money could be raised by taxation by a municipality and given to it. This decision is new reversed by the Supreme Court of the United States, which holds that a railroad is a highway which may be regulated as to management, tariff of rates, &c., and there fore taxation in aid of its construction is a legitimate exercise of the legislative pow er. This is a distinct declaration of the right of the States to regulate the use and operation of the railroads constructed by their authority. .. Hon. B. Bruce Petrikeit will please *mop our thanks for valuable dectuaents• :GRAND ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC, reunion of the posts of the Grand Army of the Republic in Philadelphia and vicinity took place at Germantown last week. Governor Hart-rat:tit was pre sent on the occasion, as was also Col. Robert B. Beath, Surveyor General and Grand Commander of the Department of Pennsylvania. Both gentleman made short speeches, that of Col. Beath related chiefly to the organization and its good deeds. Gov. Hartranft, on being intro duced by General Wagner, spoke as fel laws : A little wore than three mouths ago he took up his abode in an inland town. He was sure it was three months, for he had drawn one quarter's salary and possibly more. [Laughter.] At 1 o'clock to-day he had debated whether to come or not, but thinking the Government would not suffer, he decided to leave the atmosphere of Harrisburg, not always pure, and come and breathe the air of local option. He thought, from appearances, local option was a success. [Applause.] He was an earnest advocate of the Grand Army. anal would have taken more interest had he not drifted into politics after the war. He thought the Grand Army should be kept clear and distinct from politics, and he hoped it would always be so. He had thus been only a private, but in full sympathy with the organization. He was surprised that any soldier should remain outside of the fold, no matter what his politics may be. He was very proud of Pennsylvania for one thing especially, and • for that he thanked the Legislature, in making the generous appropriation to the soldiers' orphans. [Applause.] He thanked not only the Legislature but the people whose sentiments sustained them in it. He was glad he had come here, and among those whom he had seen was an old and dear friend. He had lived here at one time, and felt very much at home. He thanked them for his kind reception and bade them good night. [Applause.] DEPARTMENTAL EXAMINATIONS We are glad to learn that clerkships in one Department of the Government, if not in them all, says the Washington Chroni cle, of the 25th inst., are not in future to be resered for gentlemen and ladies pos sessing qualities of intellect precisely an alogous to those corporeal qualities which in our cattle-shows have hitherto gained the chief prizes for our hogs and cattle— apoplectic fat obtained by cramming. Men who have nothing to do are scheming men —men who do their own office-work inef ficiently are fond of meddling in business over and above their duty—and nothing can better suit a common-place mind infla ted by little brief authority" than to devise some plan for badgering and bully ing candidates for clerkships with a series of stupid or nonsensical questions, evident ly concocted in a noddle as arid and as barren as the desert of Sahara. We be lieve in a practical civil•service system, which would insure the selection of worthy and well-qualified gentlemen and ladies as clerks, which would promote them as they gave evidence of increased practical use fulness, and which would make their posi tions unassailable by political changes of the administrations. But this can not be brought about by propounding unmeaning questions which remind one of two grains of wheat in two bushels of chaff, and which any blockhead with a tolerable mem ory can be crammed to answer by the ex penditure of from ten to five-and-twenty dollars. The Louisana Troubles. The Massacre at Colfax.—The Official Report.—Unpardonable Outrages. _ The New Orleans Republican of the 18th inst., contains the following official report of Cols. William Wright and T. W. DeLlyne, of General Longstreet's staff, who had been sent to Grant Parish, La. to investigate the troubles there. They say : We reached Pineville, opposite Alexan dria, at about 9.30 A. M. on "Monday, the 14th inst., where we were infbrmed that a severe action had taken place at Colfax the day before (Sunday); that from 100 to 200 colored men had been killed; that two white men; named Hadnot and Harris were wounded, the former mortally; and that Colfax, or part of it, had been burn ed. Upon crossing the river to Alexan dria, we became cognizant of the existence of a violent, though suppressed, popular excitement. Numbers of men from the Parish of Rapides had participated in the struggle and were now returning to Alex andria. Parish officials expressed themselves as apprehensive of an outbreak in Alexan dria, directed against the colored men and the officials bolding office under the ad ministration of Governor Kellogg. We were urged to procure the presence of troops as speedily as possible. Attempts have been made to induce Mr. De Lacy, the Sheriff of Rapids, to go to Grant Par ish, and, failing, the person claimed to have been elected Sheriff on the Fusion ticket accompanied the party that went from Alexandria. We left Alexandria at about 11.30 A. 31. During our stay there mounted men were constantly crossing the river„ coming from the direction of Col fax and, just as we left, a party of twenty, mounted and armed, apparently, with shot guns, crossed the river in a body. Having secured an ambulance, we cross ed the river into Grant Parish early on the morning of Tuesday, the 15th instant, and started for Colfax, distant about fifteen miles. We found the Parish in a most de plorable state. The crops are being neg lected; many of the residents, both white and colored, have left their homes, and a general sense of insecurity prevails, which we are satisfied can only be removed by the presence of troops. About one-third of a mile below the Court House we came upon a party of colored men and women carrying away a colored man upon a sled. At a little distance in the field were the dead bodies of two colored men. About 200 yards nearer the Court House were three dead bodies of colored men, and from that point to the court house and its vicinity the ground was thickly strewn with dead. We are unable to find the body of a single white man, or to ascertain the loss of the whites. Colored women assert that two wagon loads of whites, dead and wounded, were carried away. but it is persistently denied by any of the whites claiming to have knowledge of the actual loss, they asserting that but one man on their side was killed, and Hadnot and Harris were wounded. • We may state here that Ifadnot has since died in Alexandria. We send here with a plan of the court house and its de fenses. A space of about 100 yards was inclosed in a slight earthwork, with ditch inside, This ditch was from 10 to 18 inches in depth, and the breastwork in front of it from 20 to 30 inches in height, and was protected in front by.,21-inches planking. On the lower side of the court house the greater portion of the breast work was composed of planking alone, laid in zig-gags, and without ditches. From what information we could get we believe the fight commenced on Sun day, the 13th inst., heiween 10 and 11 A. M., and continued until nearly dark. Of the number engaged on either side it is impossible .1;m. us to 'Orin any definite idea, though we are satisfied that, the par ties holding the court house were ks.s in number than their assailants. ft is assert ed by the colored porde that, the assail ants consisted of parties from the parishes of Winn Rapides, Natchitoches, Catahoula and Caddo, in addition to those from Grant; but they were either unable or un willing to give us the names of any parties participating in the attack. This infor mation, however, will doubtless be obtain ed hereafter. All statements that we have heard agree substantially in the main particulars. It is agreed that the attacking party was commanded by C. C. Nash. and the assail ed by a man named Levi Allen; that a surrender was demanded and refused; that the besieged were given thirty minutes to remove their women and children, and that at the expiration of that time the fight was commenced by the assailing party. Appended hereto, and marked A, is the statement of a meeting between Columbus C. Nash and Colonel DEKlyne, The attakting party had in their pos session a small cannon, taken from the steamboat James T. Moore, from which they fired bolts, a sample of which we de posit in your dffice. The besieged had rigged up a couple of guns by fastening lengths of gas pipe on rafter timbers, blocking up one end with a pine plug, and drilling a touch hole. One of these was bursted while trying it some days be fore the fight, and the other has not the appearance of being used. Some time during the afternoon the be sieged were drawn from the fight and from their breastworks into the court house. One end of the building was without win dows, nor had the besieged prepared loop •holes. A colored man named Isaiah At kins informed us that Mr. Nash had forc ed a colored man called Pink to come to this end of the building and hold a pine torch to the edge of the roof until it caught fire. It is our opinion that few of the colored men had been killed up to this time, but that when forced by the ire to leave the court house they were shot down without mercy. The position and condi tion of many of the bodies go far to prove this. Under the ware house between the court house and the river were the dead bodies of six colored men, who had evi dently gone under for concealment, and were there shot like dogs. Many were shot in the back of the head and neck. One man still lay with his hands capped in supplication ; the face of anothe7 was completely flattened by blows from a bro ken stock of a double-barrelled gun, lying on the ground near him; another hat been out across the stomach with a knife, after beino. * shot and almost all had from three to adozen wounds. Many of there had their brains literally blown out. It is as serted by the colored people that altar the fight thirty-four prisoners who were taken before the burnin ,, 'n of the court house were taken to the riverbank, two by two, exe cuted, and hurled into the river. We caused to be buried in the ditch, new the ruins of the court house, the remain of fifty-four colored men, three of whomwere so badly burned as to be unrecognizable. There were inside the Court House the charred bones of one other, and five bodies we gave to their friends for interment elsewhere. We saw, also, 12 wounded colored men, two of whom will certainly die, and others of whom are very unikely to recover. We are informed that since the fight parties of armed men have been scouring the country, surrounding Colfax, taking the mules and other property of the colored people. Since writing the above report. ve have seen on board the steamboat the colored man, Leo Allen, who commanded the par ties holding the court house. He assures us that not a single colored man was killed or wounded until after their surrender, and that then they were shot down with out mercy. We will obtain his sworn statement hereafter. On our return to Alexandria yesterday we were again im plored by citizens to have troops sent there at once as the only means of averting dis turbance. Very respectfully, T. W. DEKLYNE, Col., Ass't Adjutant Gen. WM. WRIGHT, Col., Ass't Inspector Gen. Constitutional Convention, Punai)Er.rttiA, April 23.—President MEREDITH presented a letter from Hon. Linn Bartholomew, resigning his seat in the convention, which was not accepted, a large majority of the delegates voting against the motion to accept. The disposition of the members seems to be to get down to work, and consequently, the usual resolution to change the hours of meeting and adjourning was ignored this morning, to the great relief of the major ity, and the convention went at once into committee of the whole on the railroad question, Mr. Broomall in the chair. The eighth section, as follows, came up for debate: No corporation engaged in the transpor tation of freight or ioassengers in or through this state shall make any discrim ination in charges for the carriage of eith er freight or passengers against the peo ple thereof, and such corporations shall carry the persons and goods of the people of this state on as favorable terms as those of other states brought into or through this state on the works owned or control led by such corporation, and no higher rate per ton per mile shall be charged for the transportation of goods, or higher rate per mile for passengers, than shall be charged for like service in this state to the people of other states, and the rates for the same classes of freight shall be uniform, and the charges for freights, or fares for pas sengers, shall for equal distances be the same, and a higher charge shall never be made for a shorter distance than is made for a longer distance, and no drawback shall either directly or indirectly N al lowed Mr. GOWEN opposed the clause that the rates "shall be uniform," and proceeded to show the unfairness of such a provision and the impossibility of prescribing tolls on roads which had cost millions of dol lars and others which had cost but some hundreds of thousands. He thought that the proper phraseology should be that no unjust discrimination shall be made in the charges for freights and the rates for pas sengers._ Mr. BAER offered the followinr, as a substitute for the section. All railroads and canals arc hereby de clared public highways, upon which, un der such regulations as may be prescribed by law, all persons have an equal right of having their persons and property trans ported at rates of fare, freight, and tolls which shall be the same to all, never high er for a shorter distance than for a longer upon the same road; and for equal dis tances always the same; and the legisla ture may by law determine the maximum rates. Mr. BAER advocated his substitute at length, and was succeeded on the floor by Messrs. Howard, Cochran and others. Without reaching a vote on the amend ment the committee rose, with leave to sit again this afternoon. The convention then took a recess un til three o'clock. AFTERNOON SESSION. The amendment of Mr. Baer was re jected, and the question stated to be thion the amendment offered by Mr. Dallas : Vo unjust, undue or unreasonable discrimina tion iu rates of charge fur transportati,m or freight or passengers or in any respect whatever, shall be made by any railroad or canal corporation ; and the legislature shall provide for the imposition or ade quate penalties for a breach of this sec tion." Mr. Dallas' amendments were rejected, as also amendments proposed by Mr. Wetherill. of Philadelphia, Mr. M'Allister and Samuel A. Purviance, of Allegheny. An amendment by Mr. Cochran finally prevailed, making the section read as fol lows,, in which shape it was agieed to by 58 to 27 : “No corporation engaged in the trans portation of freight or passengers in or through this state shall make any discrim ination in charges in the carrying of either 'freights or passengers against the people thereof; and such corporations shall carry the persons and goods of the people of this state on as favorable terms as those of otker states brought into or through this state on the works owned or controlled by such corporations. and the charges for freight and fires for passengers shall, for equal distances in the same direction be the same, and a higher charge shall never be made for a shorter distance than is made for a longer distance, and no special rates or drawback shall, either directly or indirectly, be allowed, but commutation tickets to passengers may be issued as heretofore, and reasonable extra charges within the limits of the charter may be for any distance not exceeding fifty miles. Pending a vote upon the ninth section, intended to secure an equality of rates and facilities to each shipper and transporter to prohibit independent transportation, lines and to divest the officers of railroads from any personal interest in such lines, etc., the committee rose and the convention adjourned.
