week's issue.
am. A few blatherskites are talking
about a third term for Gen. Grant. Neith
er Gen. Grant nor the masses have any
idea of changing the well established rule.
Bar The Pittsburgh Commercial, we
are led to believe from its article the other
day on "Election Frauds in Philadelphia,"
thinks there are a great many frauds elect
ed to office in that city, but, strange to
say, in that paper', they always find a sup
porter.
Stir Judge Blatchford has decided that
Dana, "the Pirate of the Press," cannot
be tried in the District of Columbia for
libel printed in New York - . This may
be, technically, true, but it is a great pity
that this sort of journalism cannot be
squelched.
est. An effort is made in the last Globe
to show that Messrs. Chaney, Vandevan
der and Sheriff Houck have been guilty of
stuffing the jury box. This is the old cry
of stop thief! Several Leaguers want to
turn attention from themselves! Reader,
do you remember Woods and Shontz's tes
timony ?
mg.. The League is "setting up" can
didates, all over the county, to enable it
to slip in delegates sufficient to control the
Convention. Its manipulators are deter
mined to run the finances of the county,
and they know how to do it. Vide Poor
House! Tax-payers, if you want the Porter
township system of tax collecting extended
all over the county, send League delegates
to the next Republican County Conven
tion. If not, and if you want to save taxes ,
elect honost men whom you can trust.
Ilex The expenses of the Poor House
have been increased, by the League from
$4,000 to $12,000 or $14,000 per annum.
They are now making a desperate effort to
get control of the Commissioners' ofce•
Tax-payers, are you ready to have the
expenses of the county advanced in the
same ratio as those of the Poor House ?
If you are not, attend the delegate meet
ings and see that no man comes to the
Convention who has not been known as a
life long opponent of this oath-bouad ca
bal. Smash the concern and save taxes !
ps. Mr. Woods is delivering himself,
through Mr. Douglass, of the usual num
ber of promises to nominate each and every
candidate offered. We have no doubt he
has promised five or six candidates for
Treasurer, Commissioner, Jury Commis
sioner and Director of the Poor, and strange
to say, there are fools who bite at his prom
ises. These fellows generally have sore
heads after the Convention is over, and
curse this good man most heartily until
the campaign comes round again. Silly
geese His promises are as idle as the
wind.
AT THEIR OLD TRICKS ,
It is positively asserted that Mr. B. F.
Douglass, of Mt. Union, the Speer and
Woods candidate, last fall, for Register
and Recorder, is writing to Republicans
urging them to become candidates for the
various offices to be filled at the approach
ing election, assuring them that if they
will secure delegates, in their respective
districts, that it will be "all right," and that
they shall be nominated. We know at least
one case in which this has been done.—
The letter in question was written to a
Republican in Jackson township, urging
him to become a-candidate for Director of
the Poor. The significant "all right"
means the election of delegates that will
further the interests of the infamous
League and enable it to organize and con
trol the Convention. Mr. Douglass is the
mere stool-pigeon of Mr. Woods, and this
letter is written at the dictation of that
political trickster. Mr. Woods has prac
ticed this kind of chicanery so long, and
violated his plighted faith so often, that
he feels that he cannot deceive the people
any longer, consequently he makes use of
Douglass as a cover to repeat what lie has
so frequently done before.
We hope that the honest people will not
allow themselves to be hoodwinked in this
way. And besides this, what right has
this fellow, Douglass, to address Republi
cans ? By his course, last fall, he placed
himself entirely outside of the Republican
organization, and should have no part nor
let with it. And we here caution our
Republican friends against having any
thing to do with the parties who supported
Speer and the Independent ticket in the
last campaign. They are as much outsiders
AA Democrats.
HOW JURIES ARE DRAWN
Mendacity and ignorance are proverbi
ally blind. - They rush into all manner of
indiscretion without a single precaution.
They malign and accuse without the least
imaginable foundation. They have but a
single purpose, and that is to belabor the ;t•
adversary. The Globe is a perfect exem
plification of this idea. Its editor hates ,
with au intensity not human, certain gen
tlemen whom it belabors from week to
week. In its efforts to cast odium upon
them it seizes every little pretext to pre
sent them in an unfavorable light, and
ignorantly charges them with being guilty
of crimes which, if perpetrated at all, could
only be perpetrated by the connivance of
those who are above suspicion.
The Globe makes a letter written by
Mr. Wharton to Judge Dean, requesting
the latter to grant him a new trial, in a
case which had been tried at the last term
of our Court, for what Mr. Wharton
thought were good and sufficient legal
reasons, a basis of a two-column article in
which it assails the Judge, the Jury Com
missioners, the Sheriff and the Commis
sioners' Clerk, and charges thew with
stuffing the jury-box. And not content
with this, it endeavors to lug Mr. Scott
into its wonderful concoction, The whole
story bears upon its face such marks of
mendacity and ignorance that any intelli
gent person, conversant with the progress
of affairs, would at once see to the-bottom
of it, but there are those who have given
the matter no thought or attention, who
May be misled. We shall, therefore, give
the facts in regard to the mode of drawing
a jury, under the present jury law, in as
few words as possible, so that all may judge
whether the indiscriminate charges, against
the men whose duty it is to select the
Huntingdon county juries, have the least
semblance of truth.
The first step in the selection of a jury
is to procure a cylindrical box, which is
called the "wheel," about eighteen inches
in diameter, and fifteen inches in height;
containing a dasher somewhat similar to
that of a churn. One end of the box con
tains an aperture, a little larger than the
hand, which is covered by a neat fitting
door; this door has a lock and key, and
,when shut is securely locked by
the Sheriff, who is made by the law
the custodian of the 'key. By means of the
dasher or distributor the names that arc
placed in the box are mixed. Of course
the distributor is not perfect, yet it is the
best method that has ever been introdu
ced.
The next step is to fill the box. The
Court determines the number of jurors
that will be required for the various
Courts throughout the year. The number
for this year has been fixed at six hundred
and fifty. The filling only takes place
once a year, in the month of December, at
least thirty days prior to the January
term. The Jury Commissioners procure
lists of the taxables and snake a proportion
for each district on the basis of six hun
dred and fifty jurymen. We doubt wheth
er this is strictly legal, because the net
says "they shall be selected at large," but
it is certainly very fair. The ratio used
at the last filling, if we are correctly in
formed, was calculated by the lamented
Judge Taylor. This being done the Jury
Commissioners and the President Yidge
select a clerk to write down the names of
the persons put into the box. This duty
has generally been imposed upon Henry
W. Miller, Esq., the competent and faith_
ful clerk of the County Commissioners.
The names of the persons selected for ju
rors, by the Jury Commissioners and the
Judge, are then written on slips of paper.
The districts are then taken up alphabeti
cally and each Jury Commissioner puts in
a name followed by one by the President
Judge, which are successively entered upon
a record by the clerk, and thus they alter
nate until the whole number—six hundred
and fifty—is placed in the box. Each
district gets its exact quota and no more.
The box is then locked by the Sheriff and
its contents thoroughly shaken up.
A venire is then presetsted, by the Sher
iff, directing the drawing of seventy-two
—twenty-four Grand and forty-eight Tray.
erse—jurors for the January Term. The
Court issues its writs of venire about thir
ty days before each Court, or at one term
for another, so that there are several writs
for each year. The Sheriff then opens the
little door of the box, thrusts in his hand
and pulls out a slip of paper which he
hands to one of the Jury Commissioners,
who reads it aloud and bands it to the
other Commissioner, and the name is taken
down by the clerk, the Sheriff gives the
distributor a turn or two and again thrusts
in his hand and pulls out another slip, and
so on until the whole number ordered is
drawn. The Sheriff then locks the door
and keeps the key until the next drawing,
and the Jury Commissioners proceed to
seal up the box. They, the Sheriff and
the Judge, each write his name on the
corner of a square sheet of paper, a little
larger than the door of the box, which is
pasted over the door and the corners seal
ed with sealing-wax so that the door can
not be opened without breaking the paper.
The Jury Commissioners deposit the box
in the County Commissioners' office, where
it is kept until the next drawing.
This is a plain statement of the mode
of drawing a jury under the new law.
There are so many checks and guards
drawn around it that unless the Jury
Commissioners, the Judge, the Sheriff and
the Clerk were to enter into a conspiracy
to set. up a Jury, it could not be done.
The Globe impugns the characters of the
Jury Commissioners, who are as honorable
men as are to be fonsrd in the county, but,
then, what of the Judge ? Of Sheriff
Houck Of Henry W. Miller ? Have the
characters of these men ever been im
peached ? Are they not honorable men ?
Would they deliberately violate their sol
emn oaths to accommodate any man living ?
No! No one who knows either of them
would believe a charge of this kind for a
single moment. They are above suspicion !
But, says the Globe, eleven jurors were
drawn from Huntingdon for the first week
of the January term, and thirteen for the
second week of the April term, and on
both these occasions Mr. Wharton bad
trials pending, while on the second week
of January term, and the first week of
April term, when Wharton had no suits
pending, only fire were drawn from Hun
tingdon. This is very clear logic. The
Globe proceeds to argue from this that the
jury must have been tampered with. How,
pray ? Who tampered with it ? Henry W.
Miller, Esq., informs us that the Jury
Commissioners have never drawn a: name
from the box since the inauguration of the
present system. Then it must have been
Sheriff Houck who did the mischief? He
does the drawing. Does the Globe mean
to charge the Sheriff with being guilty of
the high crime of tampering with the jury
panel? We want an answer. No one ex
pects the jury to be drawn from the wheel
alphabetically or proportionally from all
the districts. It is a game of chance, and
one time all the names in the box from a
certain district may be drawn out, while
at the next three drawings there will, of
course, be none from that district. But any
fool understands this.
We regard the article in the Globe en
deavoring to fix criminality upon those
whose duty it is, under the law, to select
the jurors of Huntingdon county, as a
mere effort to cover up the rascality of the
Leaguers in this direction. We have,
however, proven their complicity out Of
their own mouths, and we defy the Globe,
or any member of that infamous band, to
prove a single proposition hinted at in its
two-column article relating to the drawing
of the jury.
sa.. Hon. William M. Hall, of Bedford
county, is urged by a writer in the Phila
delphia Inguirfr for the Republican nom
ination for Supreme Judge. This is what
is said of Judge Hall :
He is in the very prime of life, and has
already established for himself a reputa
tion for learning and sagacity, and for that
equally rare quality, sterling common
sense, which is the forerunner of a suc
cessful judicial career. He is a close stu
dent, deeply read, and is gifted with a
judicial bearing which has made him pop:
ular with the bar, not only in his own but
also in the neighboring districts. Owing
to this fact he has already, upon a number
of occasions, been called to hold special
courts in other districts, where his labors
have uniformly given great satisfaction to
the profession.
If Philadelphia fails to obtain the judge
ship the convention could not do better
than to select Judge Hall for the place,
and thus give practical recognition of one
of the ablest and purest lawyers and jurists
in the Commonwealth. Nothing is more
desirable than that the integrity and learn
ing of the Supreme Court shall be invio
lably maintained, and the selection of
Judge Hall would fully secure that end.
nra.. We invite attention to the call for
the Republican County Convention at the
bead of this issue. The delegate elections
will be upon us in a few days. Sec that
the right men are chosen. We want no
Leaguers. No more Poor House and
Porter townshirsteals.
Ds, We call attention to the speech of
Senator Scott, at Morganza, Washington
c)unty. It takes the right view of the
school question. Read it carefully.
Speech of Senator John Scott.
The following is a portion of the
speech of Senator Scott, delivered at the
laying of the Corner Stone of the Western
Pennsylvania Reform School, at Morganza,
in Washington county, on Tuesday of last
week. Mr. Scott followed Gov. Hartranft
and Mr. Bigam. His address was enthu
siastically received.
He said he had accepted the invitation
to be present simply as a witness of the
ceremonies in entire good faith, and without
intending to make even the briefest ad
dress. and when at a late hour he was in
formed he was expected to speak, lie felt
rather inclined to make it a reason for not
coming, rather than complying with it.
But, said he, I did come, and, true to the
American habit, you insist upon a speech.
Carlyle was right when he said that the
nineteenth century had a wonderful ten
dency to run to wind and tongue. If this
be true in Europe it is eminently so in
America, and of this tendency public men
are unmercifully made the victims. The
people look upon a public man much as
the,. do upon the town pump; they take
hold of his hand and expect to pump a
speech from him upon any subject, on the
shortest notice, not caring whether it is
upon the organization of a sewing society
or any intermediate subject between that
and the most abstruse problems of finance
or Government. This is, perhaps but one
of the forms in which Yankee shrewdness
manifests itself. It is a short way of kill
ing off useless or dangerous men, for after
a large amount of public talk, very few
men render a large amount of public ser
vice. The people of late years have gotten
into a very unceremonious way of dropping
the merely talking men, those who talk
add won't work, and of putting into the
places of highest trust men like Gen. Grant
and Gen. Hartranft, who know hew to
hold their tongues. [Great applause.]
He then proceeded to say that every
public manifestation of the character we
had witnessed to-day, had its bearing upon,
and was itself an outgrowth of our peculiar
American institutions. De Tocqueville
had, after study of our Government and
its people, concluded that Democracy is
the pre-ordained condition of the human
race, and advised the people of Europe to 1
accept the doctrine. The speaker accepted
it ; the people of the country accepted it;
the people of the Old World were fast re
alizing its truth, and vacant thrones and
wandering monarchs and struggling re
publics were frequently reminding them of
its progress. All our institutions are now
with lapse of time, more nearly conforming
themselves to the practical enforcement of
the cardinal doctrine that Government de•
rives all its just powers from the consent
of the governed. The events of the cen
tury, the progress of the race, the elevation
of the downtrodden, the conflict of opin
ions and interests, yea, even the bloody
conflict of arms, the struggles of living
labor for a fair division of its awn product
with capital the product of labor that is
past—all the changes of society, and all
the conflicts of classes are but the success
ive stages in the ordering of an all-wise
Providence, marking the approach to the
age when the equality of man and the
equality of rights shall no longer be the
characteristic of one government, but shall
pervade all the governments of the earth.
Education is a preliminary of the success
of Democracy, of Democracy not iu its
partizan sense, but in the broad sense of
government by the people.
The Reform School I recognize as one
of the educational institutions of the State,
and it is one which will perhaps keep open
a question already started by our Board of
Public Charities. In it the State, if it
does not recognize the duty, at least asserts
the right of making education compulsory.
You as taxpayers contributed in Pennsyl
vania during the last year about eight
millions of dollars fot common school pur
poses. The State compelled you to pay
these millions, but it did net compel any
child to receive the education thus provi
ded for it. The State compelled you to
build school houses and keep them open a
limited number of months in the year, but
it compelled no citizen to send his children
to the school. Taxation was enforced to
support schools for the young, while the
young were not bound to attend. At the
other end of the line taxation was enforced
to supporrjails and penitentiaries for the
criminals of mature years, where instruc
tion is hardly more than attempted, for
the golden opportunity of youth has pass
ed. But here is an intermediate institu
tion, a confession that the jail and peni
tentiary are too harsh and cruel for the
young offender; that to him and to her
the State owes the duty of training, of ed
ucation, of reformation. Why not begin
earlier to assert the right of every child to
an education, and to discharge the duty of
giving it to them ? If there were not so
many children reported as ignorant and
uninstructed, as not attending school in
our large cities, there would be fewer com
mittals by magistrates and courts of juve
nile offenders to the House of Refuge.
You have acted wisely in changing its
name. It is not a prison. It is, as our
Supreme Court declared long since, a
school; it is a school sanctioned by the
State where education is compulsory. How
far shall the principal be extended ? How
much better off would the community be
if all our youth went out into the world
equipped fbr the struggle of life, as many
of the boys go out from this school not
only with intellectual and moral training,
but with a knowledge of one of the useful
and honorable trades, which would enable
him to feel personally independent as he
entered the battle of life?
The Senator testified to she efficiency of
the training in the School by relating the
incident of his taking a girl from the Al
legheny House of Refuge, who proved
faithful and well-behaved in his family,
who served her time, attended school, be
came a member of the Church, married
and settled in life. Some may sneer at
these institutions in their charitable fee
tures, and say they are well enough to
amuse fanatical women or canting church
men, but the sentiment of the age is fast
burying beneath its progress every obstacle
to the amelioration of the condition of the
unfortunate and the fallen, and when to
Heaven born charity is added that educa
tion which we recognize as the basis of onr
National security and strength, who will
bold back his hand from the support of
such institutions as the Pennsylvania
School of Reform ? We must prepare
those who are to be our future citizens for
their responsibility and duties by their ed
ucation ; they must understand the ques
tions which their ballots are to decide, for
if they do not the practice of the State is
a war upon the theory of popular govern
ment.
Our best citizens are recognizing the
duty they owe to the Government in this
respect Those who have themselves come
up from the ranks of toil, and achieved
- success in life are doing honor to them
selves, while they confer benefits upon
generations yet to come by the endowment
of institutions of learning. Asa Packer's
name will go down to posterity associated
with the university he has founded upon
the banks of the Lehigh, and the memory
of that beneficent deed will be green and
grateful in human hearts when many of
the laurels of victory shall have faded
and fallen from the brows of heroes. Ario
Pardee, a nobleman of nature, has associ
ated his name with the name of one whose
nobility was sealed to him by letters patent
of the realm of France, and confirmed by
the gratitude of a whole nation—with
Lafayette College by his munificent en
dowment of science, to stand as his memo
rial where the waters of the Lehigh and
the Delaware mingle in their course to the
ssa. I might mention names in Western
Pennsylvania connected with the success
of your noble charities and public insti
tutions, with Di:cutout, and the House of
Refuge and others, but I see around me
men whose modesty I would not test by
the public announcement of their benefac
tions. I appeal to the people of Western
Pennsylvania to give their cordial support
to the institution whose corner stone has
this day been laid by the Governor of the
Commonwealth.
Give to the men and women engaged in
it your sympathy and your aid. I cannot
close these disjointed remarks when I lock
around and see the number of ladies who
grace this occasion by their presence,
without referring to the distinguished part
women have ever taken in works of be
nevolence, and quoting the sentiment of
Lord Jeffry written more than half a cen
tury ago, closing a review of the work of
Elizabeth Fry among the female convicts
at Newgate. To the men and the women
engaged in this enterprise let that senti
ment be applied :
"We cannot envy the happiness which
Mrs. Fry must enjoy from the conscious
ness of her own great achievement—but
it is a happiness and an honor of which we
should be too glad to be partakers. And
we seem to relieve our own hearts of their
share of the National gratitude in thus
placing upon her simple and modest brow
that truly civic crown which far outshines
the laurels of conquest or tho coronals of'
power—and which can only be itself out
shone by those imperishable wreaths of
glory which await the champions of Faith
and Charity in a higher state of existence."
