How Wools Packed lo Jury!
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. He furnished me some thirty or
forty names from Dublin township, Hun•
tingdon and Mt. Union boroughs.
Q. Who gave you Robert Laird's name
of Porter township ?
A. Mr. Woods.
Q. Who gave you Mr. Graffius' name?
A. Mr. Woods.
Q. Did you examine the list of jurors
with Mr. Woods ?
A. Yes. WE EXAMINED THEM.
Q. Did he suggest any names to be
erased from your list ?
A. Yes; AT HIS SUGGESTION WE ERA
SED SOME NAMES.
Q. Did he suggest any other names to
be added in place of those erased ?
A. Yee. WE PUT OTHER NAMES
IN THEIR PLACES !
Q. Did he, after having names added
and others erased, examine the list. ?
A. He examined it afterward !
Q. What was then done ?
A. Lie said it would now do. I could
go. We went down to his offiee. 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

Wouldn't it be advantageous for the pa

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.

: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,

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.

Centaur Liniment.
There is no pain which the Centaur Liniment will pot
relieve, no swelling it will not subdue, and no 1111116111011 i
which it will not cure. Thie Is strong language, but it I
true. Where the parts are not gone, its effects are mar
velous. It has produced more cares of rheumatism, nett
ralgia, lock-jaw, palsy, sprains, swelling., caked breasts,
scalds, burns, salt-rheum, ear-ache, le., upon the human
frame, and of strains, amain, gall, Sc., upon animals in
one year than have all other pretended remedies since the
world began. It is a counter-irritant, au all-healing pain
reliever. Cripples throw away their crutches, the lame
walk, poisonous bites are rendered hermit., and the
wounded are healed without a sear. It is no humbug. The
Thu recipe is published around each bottle. It is selling
as no article ever before sold, and It sells because it does
just what it pretends to do. These who new suffer from
rheumatism, pain or swelling, deserve to suffer if they
will not use Centaur Liniment. More than 1000 certlti•
atm of remarkable cures, Including frozen Ihnbs, chron
ic rheumatism, gout, running tumors, &c., have been re
ceived. We will send a circular contains certificates, the
receipt, &c., gratis, to any one requesting it. One bottle
of the yellow wrapper Centaur Liniment is worth one
hundred dollars for spavined or sweenied horses and
mule., or for screw-worm from sheep. Stock owners—this
