The Huntingdon Journal. .1. R. DURBORROW, HUNTINGDON, PENN'A Vileaftsday Morning, May 21, 1873. Circulation LARGER than any other Paper in the Juniata Valley. VED.. We have read the several commu nications which have been forwarded, by Gen, Van Buren, to the President and the Secretary of State, and while the Gen eral indulges in very intemperate language. there is a spirit of outraged innocence per. vades them that will gain for him thous ands of honest friends. We cannot be lieve, in the face of this man's sworn statement, that he is guilty, and, whether he is or not, a great outrage has been com mitted upon the Commission. Some one has blundered . oar Some evil disposed persons have put in circulation a report that the old and reliable firm of Advertising Agents, S. N. Pettengill & Co., No. 37 Park Row, N. Y. and 701 Chestnut street, Philadelphia. was about to retire from business. We are pleased to hear that this is not the case. We have been advertising for these gentlemen for many years, and they have always transacted their business like hon est men, doing justice to all concerned.— There are no more honorable and upright Agents in the business thauthey are_ We wish them many more years of usefulness. is. We were entirely unprepared for the action of the Constitutional Conven tion upon the questions of waiving juries by agreement and allowing three-fourths of a jury to make up a verdict. There I has been so much evidence of progress ex- I hibited in the various articles adopted by the ConCention, that we were led to believe that the questions above stated, and even more radical changes, would be adopted, but it seems we reckoned without our host. Why is this ? We can only account for it on the ground that there are too many old barristers in that body. The jury sys tem: as it now stands, is in universal dis favor. It is merely an expensive means of sheltering the corrupt and infamous. So general has the impression of the un reliability of juries bectime that it is a common remark that there is one fling that Omnipotence cannot foretell—what will be the verdict of a petit jury. And yet the Constitutional Convention refuses to give us any relief from a system handed down from a se mi-civilized age. The only reason -we can give for it is that certain hatristers find that they can better control . 1 3 4 muddle those unskilled in the intrica cies and technicalities pertaining to our worn out system of practice—the Common one of the ablest Jurists the country ever produced, to be a system in which "justice is frequently smothered in her own gar ments." We hope the Convention will re consider these grave questions and the people will stand by it. We would, a thou. and times, sooner submit an honest case to a judge, learned in the law, and with a broad comprehension of the facts, than submit it to a jury of twelve unskilled men. SENATOR JOHN SCOTT. "Neither Sherman nor Thurman, of Ohio, took the back pay: Neither did Scott of Penn sylvania." The preceding paragraph has been going the rounds of the papers. It is a sad fact that such distinction is worthy of so much public notice. There is but one sentiment throughout the country in regard to the back pay question; and we think it will prove to the aecepting members the worst investmeiit they have ever made. The Ohians are particuhirly incensed and dis gusted ; but they have the satisfaction of knowing that both their Senators have unspotted palms.. It gives us pride that our Senator Scott has shown himielf above the common grade of politicians who have come into high places, and that he is con scious that he represents a great State in the National Councils, and is not in the United Statos Senate to subserve personal ends. But we are not now learning to respect our honorable Senator. We were among the first to suggest him as a proper person to uphold the honor of the Commonwealth in the Senate, and to act as her agent in that august body. For many years we had known him well ; and while, under the old division of parties, we found him on the wrong side of the line, we always recogni_ zed him as a pure, able and honest gentle man. When the rebellion broke out, he severed his party ties, and boldly and elo quently and with all his energy spake and worked for our perilled country. Since he has been in the Senate, he has filled very important positions, and has exhibited great zeal and industry in dis charging his public duties. He ranks among the ablest legal minds in Congress, and while he is an emphatic and leading Republican, no one counts him as a blind party man, but as one who serves his party because he finds in its principles and meas ures the safety and prosperity of the coun try. No public man of our day is less a demagogue, none is more direct, fair, or upright, none has higher moral courage. There may be abler debators, men more scholarly, more elegant orators, more adroit managers, more attraotive and influential personages in the Senate Chamber, but -no better Senator answers t, the roll-call than "Scott of Pennsylvania." We believe that such men are coming to the front. The people are growing weary of the class of public men that late ly have been at the head of politics, and mean to trust their affairs into the keeping of men whose integrity is avouched by pure moral lives as well as intellectual ability. And so we anticipate a higher position in the future for our accomplished and faithful Senator. It will be a happy day for the Republic, when such men as he are its favorites ;_ when intriguing and self-seeking, place-purchasing and vote_ selling aspirants shall be hooted from the hustings, and men shall be sought for to fill positions of honor and trust for their worth's sake. Then we will find prominent and honored plain, pure-hearted, clear- headed eitizent;, like '.Scott of Pennsylva• aia."—Chambersbury Repository. .13v0 . The Governor has appointed How ard J. Reeder, of Northumberland county, James Duffy, of Lancaster, and Benjamin L. Hewitt, of Blair, State Fishery Com missioners, under the Fish Law passed ut the late session of the Legislature. With the two first named gentlemen we have no acquaintance, and, consequently, have no knowledge of their qualifications for the po sition; but we are quite sure, that if they have no better qualifications to recommend them than the last named gentleman, the Governor has made a serious mistake . , Hewitt is believed to be deficient in prac tical and theoretical knowledge, energy, disposition to adapt himself to the business, and, in short, every qualification that is re quisite in the prosecution of the work. We know nothing that would recommend him for the position save his being a mach over-rated politician. We never knew a man to run so large an establishment on so small an amount of capital. Brains and practical worth must be at a fearful dis count when such as he are selected for po sitions of this kind. We do hope the law will not become a dead letter for want of executive ability. EDITOR yam, The Altoona S'un asks : Who was it that first introduced Chinese laborers into this country but tariff monopolists who support the Republican party T' We deny it. They were first introduced into California where Protection has never been popular, and subsequently into the South ern States, where Protection is equally unpopular. It is true that a few have been introduced into some of the factories of the East and at Beaver Falls, but only where the competition was extremely great, which establishes the correctness of our argument that Chinamen alone eau com pete with the pauper labor of Europe. A low tariff must bring low wages, and Chi namen will work for lees wages than skill ed American mechanics. Take away the tariff and the manufactories must stop or lower priced laborers must be introduced. sa„. Gov. Hartranft will accept our thanks for an early copy of the General Laws passed by the Legislature at its late session. The Modoc War. Number of Troops in the Field—What General Davis has Done—His Plan of Operatson—.3forc Fighting on the Front. NEW YORK, May 14. Special dispatches from the Lava Beds contain further details of the last fight. Captain Hasbrouck's men knew that the Dlodocs were in the vicinity, and went to bed, thinking themselves fully guarded against any surprise. But the Indians ap proached so stealthily, by creeping on the ground, that the men were only awakened by the first discharge, which killed one I man, Coporal Totten, Troop G, First Car -1 airy, and wounded eight. Th. Wawn Sprioglndians showed great presence_gb.aoa, and chased theitlodoes so rapidly that the latter driped bullet pouches and other articles to aid their Hight. The soldiers feel in excellent spirits over the result, and believe they now have the Modocs cornered. SAN FRANClSTlKtDispatenes rev ti eAavAitor to-day state that three _.l...dred and sev enty-five soldiers -the Warm Spring In dians are a-SW - scouring the Lava Beds and surrounding country. The total number of troops in the field is twenty officers and four hundred and eighty men. LAVA BEDS, camp south of Tule Lake, May 12-10 A. M., via Yreka, May-14. Since General Davis assumed command of the Modoc expedition, ten days ago, ouly one conflict, that of Saturday, has occur red, though the movement; of which this last affair was tho feature, is still progres sing, and several bodies of troops ure now hunting theModoes General Davis fund the soldiers die hearted by the disasters of the.campaign. and had to resort to many devices In arouse their lagging enthusiasm and to increase their efficiency. He began his work with a will and earnestness that won for him the sympathy and frithidship of the officers and privates, and inspired them with con fidence. He studied the situation carefully, util ized the experience of his predecessors, gave the wearied soldiers time to recuper ate from the fatigues and mental excite ment incidental to thelr rough lights in the Lava Beds, sent out scouting parties, had his men disciplined in Indian dodges, and now has his first grand movement in operation. It is his. intention to harass the Modocs, keep them moving from place and subdue them. Meu say they feel that General Davis means business. LAVA BEDS, May 10-11 P. si Lieutenant Bacon, of Troop K, First Cavalry, who has arrived in camp with his detachment, having been on escort. duty between here and Captain Jack's old strong hold, brings a report from Lieutenant Chapin, commanding the latter camp, that his pickets heard firing in the direction taken by Colonel Mason's command in the present scout after the Indians, and it is generally supposed that an engagement has occurred. CAMP SOUTH OP TULE LAKE, LAVA BEDS, May 13-6 A. M.—Part of the men of this camp, if not the entire force, will be moved to Boyle Camp, nu the penin sula in Tule lake, within the next two weeks. This camping ground is very un healthy in summer. Already rattle-snakes and scorpions are familiar with the interior of the tents, and are making unsocial visits during the night. News will probably be received from Colonel Mason's force to-day. Every one is anxious to hear the results of the present scout. SAN FRANCISCO, May 14. A dispatch from Yreka to.night says : the Modoca are in another rocky tbrtress. which they are making stronger. The troops will not attack them before the arrival of reinforcements. The new position is about twenty miles south of the last stronghold. C. Burgess has seen Bogus Charlie on the Upper Klamath, who said he knew nothing about the contemplated massacre of the commissioners, and that there were thirty Modocs left, who would fight until the last man was killed. Seventy-five men will be retained in camp to guard the stores until the arrival of reinforcements. About three weeks ago, a woman was received at the Cottage ospital of Min neapolis, afflicted with a disease like de lirium tremens caused by alcoholic drinks, but which in her case arose from the use of opium. She is said to be a daughter of a respectable New York physician, "A petrified Indian, billed to Yale College," was among the eastern express matter which passed through Des Moines, lowa, last Thursday. the body having been discovered and dug up in the bluffs on the North Platte, last summer. - - - THE railroad track scales built by the Fair banks Scale Company in 1872, could weigh 854 locomotives loaded upon them all at once. Another Avondale Explosion and Fire in a No v a Scotia Col liery—Forty Miners Supposed to Have Perished—Harrowing Scenes at the Pit Mouth. HALIFAX, N. S., May 13.—This com munity was startled to-night with the in telligence that a terrible explosion had occurred in the Drummond Colliery, in PictA county, at one o'clock to-day. Manager Dnnn, Assistant Manager Rich ardson, and forty of the workmen were in the pit when the explosion took place. The greatest excitement prevailed after the fearful occurrence, and crowds of people for miles round came rushing to the sync of the disaster and saw one of those heart-rending scenes, which is des cribed by eye witnesses as something har rowing beyond all conception, the recol lection of which will never fade from memory. Mothers, wives, sisters, children and friends crowded around the burning pit, mourninc , pitifully the terrible fate of those below, their heart-rending cries being heard for a long distance. Every effort hag been and is being made, to rescue the men, but so far without success; and it is feared that they have all 'perished. The fire up to this time—nine a. m.—is still raging. Assistance from Pictou and New Glasgow, where great excitement prevails, is at hand, and strenuous exertions are being made to subdue the conflagration. This city is greatly excited over the news of the calamity. • LATER PARTICULARS NEW YORK, May 13.—The Herald special from Halifax locates the mine dis aster at the village of Westville. county of Pictou, one hundred and three miles from Halifax, where are three large collieries in full operation, exporting large quantities of coal. Navigation having recently open ed, the workmen demanded increased wages. and several strikes occurred. One of the largest mines, called Drummond colliery, owned by the Intercolonial Com pany of Montreal, has been closed several days, and to-day the men returned to work. At half-past eleven a shot in the coal set - fire to the slope, and half an hour afterwards a fearful explosion took place, caused by the accumulation of gas during the time s the mine was closed. About two o'clock a second explosion occurred, com ing up the slope air shaft on the old trial shaft with terrible force, and it is believed killing every one in the mine, variously estimated at from forty to one hundred, including men and boys. Soon after the first explosion cries were heard at the foot of the air-shaft. Men were immediately lowered with ropes and four of those below were brought up. Two men were going down the air-shaft to render assistance when the second explosion occurred, and were blown to pieces. There was such a small supply of water, that little could be done to quench the flames, which were still raging fiercely at ten to-night. Dense masses of smoke were pouring out of all the openings and threatenin g to destroy all. the surface buildings.

Tyson and Meyers remained on board until they clothing by the Amer ican Consul. — Aft look well and are in good health and spirits. • - Captain Hall died fifteen days after re turning from the first expedition. He was paralyzed before his death, and gradually sunk—dying at 3.25, a. m. Meyers says he never gave up the hope of being rescued, but he never wants to get into so tight a corner again. The party never could have reached here but for the Esquiinaux. Meyers makes the following statement: Captain Hall returned from the sledge expedition, October 24, and was take ,/ sick on the same night. The next morning he found his le side paralyzed. He remained in that .allititasi fir thirty days. when lie got bettr. In a few days he relapsed and becamolelirious, and so continued until the corning of November Sth,'when he died.
