IJtadford Reporter. Towanda, Thursday, August 9,1866. Union State Tichet. FOR GOVERNOR, GEN. JOHN W. GEARY, OF WESTMORELAND COUNTY. TIIK HF,tV ORLEANS RIOT. We have endeavored to sift the truth from j tiie conflicting accounts which are furnished ! of the recent disturbance of the peace, and murderous riots in the city of New Orleans, and have come to the conclusion,that while the white loyalists and the blacks,tuay have beeu imprudent, and guided too much by intemperate zeal, it is still very evident, that they did not intend to disturb the pub lic plan, or molest any one. No instance is given where they made an assault upon single individuals, or upon collections of individuals, and only in a few instances did they attempt to defend themselves,seeming mostly to have submitted tj the brutality and murderous purposes of their assailants, the rebels who so lately fought against the government. The details given of these rioters demonstrations by the most det r | mined and desperate rebels established I these facts, aud perhaps one of the stron- I gest incidental proofs of this version of the i case, is found in the commanding fact, that i but two of the rebels are reported killed, I and about twenty wounded, while not less than thirty freedmen were killed and over a hundred wounded,besides killing and woun ding of numbers of the white loyalists.— ! Now, if the union men, and their allies, the ; ireedmen, intended to disturb the peace, how comes it, they were •nearly all unarm j ed,and unprepared for such an engagement. llf they, intended a riot,or an assault upon their rebel enemies, they would have pre pared themselves, and in that case the kil | ling and wounding would uot have been i nearly all on one side, for the unionists in the melee were fully as numerous as the | rebels. Then the notorious fact that the j lower orders of the rebels, throughout all | the rebel states, have shown a hellish dis | position towards the freed negroes, injur ing, wounding and killing tlient, at ail | points, is another condemning circumstance j against the New Orleans rioters, as are al j so the facts as they have been developed j by investigation, connected with the late i riots in Memphis. Indeed, it is pretty | clearly established that the more desperate I of the rebel soldiers, since they have been j disbanded,seek every occasion,and raise all j kinds of pretexts to shoot free negroes, and ! get up mobs and riots to this end. The j rebels and copperhead presses attempt to j make it appear that blacks had prepared, and commenced the riots, because since the | fray,they have been armed,and leaces have 1 beeu found where arms were stored for i their use ! but the truth is, that all these arms have been secured by the freedmen ! since for self defence, having beeu threat ened with their vengeance by the lawless : robbers, who are in the ascendancy in New S Orleans. That our readers may have all the ma terial facts and attending circumstances of i these riots in New Orleans we will proceed to detail them. In 1804, a convention was held in Louis | auia by the loyalists to frame a free con stitution for that state. After this conven ! tion had accomplished this purpose, it ad journed for an indefinite p riod, but not fi j nally. Judge Howell,the President of that j convention, lately issued a call for the re ! assembling of that c invention ; and the 1 i I Governor of the Stat" issued a proclama tion calling ou the districts that had no delegates to elect such, in order that the whole state might be represented in the convention. The Proclamation runsin these I words : Wlterea.i, It. K. Howell, President pro tern, of the Convention for the lie vis ion and amendment of the Constitution of Louisiana, has issued an order reconvoking the said Convention, to meet in the City of New-Orleans on the 50th day of July inst., and H7iems, In the same document, and in conform ity to a resolution of that body, he has called on the Governor of the State to issue writs ot election for delegates to said Convention in all parishes not represented therein : Now therefore I, J. Madison Wells, Governor of the State of Louisiana, do issue this my procla mation, commanding that an election be held on Monday, the .'id day of September, 1800, by the qualified voters, for delegates to the aforesaid Con vention, as follows : Then follows a list of the names of the parishes(with us districts) which are toelect delegates,and the number each shall choose. The Proclamatioh closed as follows : And, I do further command all Sheriffs, Com missioners of Elections and other officers therein concerned, to hold the said election as • herein or dered. the proceedings to he conducted according to law, and no person will have the right to vote, unless he has restored his citizenship by having taken the oath, before competent authority, as prescribed in the \uinesty Proclamation of the President of the United States, either of -January 1, 18(11, or May 2!), 180.1. All persons excluded from general amnesty by being embraced in any of the articles of exception contained therein, will not be allowed to vote, un less specially pardoned by the President. Prompt returns will be made of said election to the Secretary of State—for all of which thisjfc-ocla rnation, without further notice, will serve as au thority. Given under my hand at the city of New-Orleans, this 27th day of July, A. D. ISG6, and of the inde pendence of the United States, the ninety-first, J. MADISON WELLS, Attest: N. C. SSETHEN, 4 true copy. Private Secretary. Ry this proclamation, few, if any of the rebels could vote, and this would keep the loyalists in the majority in the Convention ; and as it was clearly the object of the loy alists to ratify the late congregessionai amendment to the Federal Constitution, the rebels, great and small, were intensely ag gravated. rirst, because they were not al. lowed to vote down the union men by the proclamation, and second because the con vention would, in all probability, further disfranchise them. The whole proceedings therefore, connected with the convention, were pronounced illegal by the rebel press in Louisania, and the biatant leading reb els ; and the Mayor of tbe city, a notorious rebel, gave public notice that be would break up the Convention, and arrest its members. Meantime. Wesijept Johnson had been informed of these proceedings, by telegraph, and he instantly demanded of Gov. Wells "by what authority the Conven- j tiou had been called, and also undt r what authority it assumed to represent the State of Louisiana ?" This was clearly wrung on the part of the President. For he had no authority to call in question the act of the Governor in calling a Convention The Governor had been elected by the peo ple of the State, and if he had acted im properly, or illegally, the authorities of the State had ampie power to try him. But it was intended tu intimidate, or frighten the Governor from his purpose to favor the meeting of the Convention, the President being as much opposed to the lu iii i*i ti of the constitutional amendment's •.* fl.c rebels themselves. Governm W.-IL how ever, did not regard this threat n the ff-'li of July an officer of the federal government telegraphed to the President, that it wis feared a riot would result from the meeting of the Convention, or the arrest oi its mem bers, and whether he would intcrfer . lie replies by placing the whole civil authority of the Sstate in the hands of this officer, who was a general in the rebel army, and virtually deposing Governor Wells. This was the state of affairs when tee Constitutional Convention met at 12 o'clock on the 31st of duly, only twenty six dele gates being in attendance, Judge Howell presiding. The hall when the Convention met wa- densely crowded with whites and blacks, but the proceedings were soon ar rested, and the whole broken up by the at tempt of rebel police to make arrests. The account of the riot which followed we gave j in our last. j The general impression is, that if Pre-d --! dent Johnson had not interfered, or if he I had only ordered the military to preserve j the peace, there would have been no mur • derotts riot. The New York Eoeniny Pod, which is considered a Johnson paper, holds the fol lowing - language in respect to his interfer ence in New Orleans : \VI,O niade the President the jiuhjs of the ehjolity of j ' Stole convention TI hen did he hear evidence uu |on the runtler? Where does he yet his authority for I inlerferiny ? By the Constitution, "the United States shall protect each State against invasion, and 011 application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislatufe cannot be con vened), against domestic violence." Where was the "invasion?" where the "domestic violence?" where the application of the Legislature, or of the Executive? Where was even the danger to the | public peace ? A convention numbering 2G men | met in a hall in New-Orleans. Was it feared by i the nmrdcrmts mob or by Mayor Monroe that these | 26 would rise and put the whole order of finings ' to the sword ? Suppose the convention was illegal; suppose it I had passed an ordinamce, no matter to what in ! tent what then ? Its orders could have had no | force. If there lutd been a doubt upon, their ieyidity, | they ouejht to hare been talecn before tin■ State l'orris, whose province it is to decide such vnestions. I f civil government is restored in Louisiana, accord ing to the Peace Proclamation, if Louisiana is a State, with a constitution, laws, officers, courts | and judges, then all such matters must be settled • and decided in the State, by the State officers, and I by the courts, not by a mob. It does not escape the attention oi the Uniou j loving people that every outrage lift the New-Or- I leans riot, in the Southern States, is done in the | interests of oppression, and against equal rights i and impartial justice, by men who were but lately | zealous aud flagrant Rebels, and who continue to ! boast of their crimes against the country and the > flag. Whether at Memphis or New-Orleans, in Richmond or in Georgia, wherever we hear of mob j violence, it is the |violeuce, the brutal lawlessness i of men lately engaged in an attempt to destroy the l uion ; and their victims arc men,women and children whose loyalty to the Union was so active during the war that no history of the war can be written without recording their courage, fidelity and self-sacrifice. It is not pleasant to Union-lov ing people to see the President of the United States, no matter by what accident or inadvertence, placed in the position of giving encouragement to such lawlessness, and making less endurable the sufficiently hard position ot men who, with him, are hated and reviled by the late Rebels as "South ern loyalists." THREATS FROM SOUTHERN STATES. We hear so lunch just now from copper heads, and their Johnson allies, about with holding representation from the southern states, that it is well to observe, as we pass along, what evidence the rebels give to en title them to representation. Surely a peo ple who have wrought so much damagt to the nation, and made such fearful efforts to destroy the Government, should give some evidence, at least, that tiiey mean to re spect the Government in future, and re main at peace. It seems to us, that no one having any regard for the public wel fare, would exact, or expect any tiling less. Common safety, common prudence, common honesty, and common justice demaids this, If u Fire Company, or any other social or civil organization, should shoot the citizens, burn their homes, torture and endanger all around for weeks and months, it would be expected that if these perpetrators were not punished for their outrages, and if tak en back into society, they would demean themselves peaceably, orderly, and cheer fully submit to just restraints. This would be a general, and a fair expectation ; and it would be universally held, that if these murderers and rioters, did not behave them selves well, refused to submit to just re straints, and made threats of over-riding the land again, they would, not only not merit forgiveness, but show that punish ment was improperly and unsafely with held. Common law, and common sense, would so adjust rights and wrongs between men. In view ol these well settled lines of policy iti all communities, what are we to think of the men who are urging the ad mission of rebels to Congress to make laws for us, and are heaping abuse without stint upon the majority in Congress for with holding this admission until the rebels cease at least to fight us, when before their eyes there are daily such threats of vengeance and another rebellion, as are given in the extract below from the Richmond Whig ? While the blood of the loyal men of the north is still dripping from the hands of base traitors, the}' threaten that if they cannot have their own way about manag ing the Government, and can nut get a Su preme Court that will carry out their be hests, they shall bt' solved by some other meth ods! This means another rebellion, and these are the men who claim seats in Con gress, and for whose admission copper heads howl so piteously And can the reader imagine why it is, that any set of! men among us can so far forget, what is due to the public safety, the public weal, and to common right, as to insist upon clothing : with civil rights and political power, such ' notorious traitors, defiant and open ene mies ? It is simply t<> get themselves and j the rebels again into power. Throughout the whole war, democratic sympathizers witli the rebellion, evinced more regard for the democratic party, than for the country. They all seemed willing to let the country slide, if the democratic party could only ( be saved, and so still. No matter what reb els have done, or what they threaten to do to the country, if through their assistance their old rotten organization can only be preserved. May we not earnestly invoke a kind Providence to keep the Government out of such hands ? But read the rebel's talk about the rights of rebels, and rebel states, and what they say about our niak .ll ; skills, devices uud expedients," when trying to preserve to preserve the Govern uent from.their murderous assaults : *• Should the radical policy of amending the Constitution by irregular and unauthorized meth ods of stripping the States of their just powers, and building up a great central legislative depotisui prevail, some future Supreme Court, if one not po litical and not in the interests of radicalism can be constituted, will be called to pronounce upon the gravest and most momentous questions ever submitted to a judicial tribunal. It cannot be presumed by any reflecting mind that the make shifts, devices and expedients resorted to by un scrupulous politicians who happen to have tem porary supremacy, to build up and perpetuate then- power at the expense of the rights of States and people, in defiance of the Constitution and in disregard of the powers that appertain to the Ex ecutive departmeut of the Government, will be forever acquiesced in. It may take ten, fifteen or twenty years to get a Supreme Court that will act upon and adjudicate such questions without being governed by partisan influences. But the time will certainly come, and when it arrives, these questions will be brought before it in some form or other, if indeed they shall not be solved by other method before that period." COPPEUHEAO AND REBEL NATIONAL CON VENTION. The Johnson men, and the democrats, are trying hard to make the public believe that | the Philadelphia National Convention of j rebels, Copperheads, democrats, and Jobn : son office-holders, is to be composed ol con | servative men of all shades of politics, yet ; Vallaiidighatn, Pendleton, Wood, the Vice- President of the Southern Confederacy, and i the whole copperhead and rebel elements of the entire nation, have already been se lccted as delegates to this assembly of pub | lie enemies. Still, it is urged that it is to ! be a great conservative body of enlighten ed and patriotic citizens. What an idea | these fuglemen of rebels and sympathizers must have of ihe intelligence of the people, to set up such pretences, when the most prominent rebels, and the open out-spoken democrats of the north, who lead the par ty, and made themselves notorious for their opposition to the Government, are the men | who are getting up this convention, and are to control its action. But such, and such like tricks, the democratic party has ever played off on the country, and by them kept themselves in power lor many years. It is, however, to be hoped that loyal, coun try-loving citizens, will no longer be cheat ed by base tricks, and that the chariautism j of democracy is played out. We have been led to make the above re marks from reading the following letter from Richmond, the Capitol of the late Confederacy, and situated within the patri otic, peaceable, and law-abiding Virginia! giving an account of the kind of material required in that regiou for making dele j gates to the Philadelphia Convention : WASHINGTON, D. €., July 26, 1866. I have just read the following letter from an in fluential citizen of Richmond, who is ready, if his statements is questioned, to fortify it by the high est authority: ItIC'HMOND, July 2d, 1860. A meeting of the people of Hanover county, was held at the court-house yesterday (court day) to ! appoint delegates to the distric; convention to se | leet representatives of this congressional district !in the Philadelphia convention. The four nieu who had been the most active and prominent se cessionists in the county were selected. A motion was made to add General Wickliam to the delega tion. General W. had been a member of the con vention that passed the ordinance of secession I and strongly opposed it. He subsequently served \ in the Confederate army, but since the termination : of the war, has been active and ardent for restora tion. The motion was opposed on the gfouud that General Wickliam "had written a letter denounc | ing secession" and he was rejected. a®- According to the provisions of the j Army bill just passed, the military peace establishment of the United States will con sist of live rt giments of cavalry, and fifty ; regiments of infantry. To the six regi ; meats of cavalry now in the service there ; ore to be added four regiments, two of | which shall be composed of colored men, ; having the same organization as is now | provided by law for cavalry regiment. The | infantry regiments are to consist of ten oompauies each. Four regiments are to be of colored troops, and four regiments of the \ eterau Reserves. All vacancies in the grades of first, and second lieutenants shall be selected from among the officers and soldiers, and one half of the vacancies in grades above that of first lietenaut shall be filled by selections from among the offi cers of volunteers, and one half from the officers and soldiers of the regular army who have ssrved two years during the war, and have been distinguised for capacity and good conduct in the field. The act pro vides Unit no person shall be appointed j under it who has been in the rebel naval | or civil service, but any such appoiutmant j shall he illegal and void. Congress has passed the bill regu lating elections of U. 8. Senators. A more necessary and unexceptionable measure has seldom been adopted. The day whereon elections of Senators must be made is now fixed by law, and is uniform throughout the 1 nion. The vote must be an open one. A majority vote in either branch of the Legislature is requisite to a choice, if the two Houses are found to disagree in their choice, then they must meet in joint ball.t: and a majority of the whole number voting is there required to choose. It is no lon ger allowable to choose Senators two or three terms ahead, as might hitherto have been done. A choice canuot be prevented by a minority. There can be no more elec tions by a minority as the Senate set aside in the case of Mr. Stockton of New .Jersey In short, this is an excellent measure, with no conceivable party bias ; an 1 we hearti ly thank Mr. Clark of X. 11. for introducing it. tetir Yallandigham was accosted by Geo. Francis Train, while both were in the lob by of the White House, and coolly inform ed that it would not do for him to come to the Philadelphia Convention, as he was too unpopular, and would only injure the Pres ident. \ allandigham got excited, and de clared that he was the representative man of the President's policy, and where his people directed him to go lie should cer tainly comply, and would not take a back seat. Blair says Traiu must keep quiet, and Train says he will not, but if they try to gag him lie will break up the show. THE NEW ORLEANS MASSACRE. J HISTORY OF THE ORIGIN AM) PRO GRESS OF THE MASSACRE ITS SUPPRESSION. Telegraphic Correspondence of The Cincinnati Commercial. NEW-ORLEANS, July 30—7:30 p. m. The massacre is over for tlio present. The military, headed by Gen. Baird in per son, at 41 o'clock, took possession of Cu ual-st., and cleared the street from Dryades to St. Charles, also the two latter streets to Common. A regiment of infantry and a battery, beaded by a band, aie while I write, parading the city. Gen. Sheridan has not yet arrived, while he is most anx iously looked for There is general indig nation among Union men—even the most moderate—at Gen. Baird, whose dilatori ness has sacrificed so much life. It is now understood to have been a con certed plan on the part of the Rebels,among whom the President's dispatch was known yesterday morning. At the tap of a lire bell the rioters left their business, having lately purchased revolvers, to meet and be led by the police, who were also armed to ' the teeth. All rushed toward the Conven tion, breaking down the fences on Bar ronne-st, in the rear of the Capitol, which was surrounded by a force of police. They then ran into the building, and while the crowd outside were tiring into the windows,climbed the stairs inside, their leader shouting "Rally, boys, rally," and discharged their pistols into the Represen tative llull, where there were at the time but 15 Conventioners (it being during the recess) within the railing, and ibout 75 negroes in the lobby, all of whom, in the hall, prostracted themselves to escape the shots. As soon as the pistols of the police were emptied the besieged rose and drove out the assailants with chairs, at the same time barricading the doors. Then K. King Cutler called upou all those who had arms to leave the hall, and Capt. Burke, the gal lant Chief of Police deposed by Monroe, went out and fought his way back to Bar ronne-st., escaping with a shot in the side. The fury of the besiegers increased, the barricade was broken, and pistols' were again discharged. Then Rev. Mr. Horton, ex-army Chaplain, who hud made the pray er at the opening of the Convention, ad vanced to the door, and showing a white handkerchief, asked for himself and the | rest to surrender. He was fired upon, hit i by the shot in the forehead, then seized I and beaten until he was insensible by the | mob and police. One after another the members of the Convention in the hall waved their handkerchiefs, protesting that they were unarmed, and wished to surrcn- I dor Yet not a single am st was made in j the hall, but each man, as he came out, | hoping to escape the certain fate threaten | ed him if he remained, was seized and bru tally handled by the police. Poor Dostie pleaded for his life. He was a Union exile, but by his kind treat ment to Rebel families in the absence of their protectors, he had endeared himself to many, even of his politic 1 enemies, j Beside the sufferers I have named in a for- I rner dispatch, Dr. Hine was shot in the | head and stabbed in the side. I can, as | yet, give you no estimate of the number j killed and wounded, which, though the riot | lasted scarce three hours, and seemed to be confined to a few streets, must put the Memphis affair far in the shade. The May or lias issued a proclamation, declaring the riots to have been precipitated by the revo lutionary faction, and calling on the citi zens to enrol themselves as extra police. At 61, 500 had enrolled, and the counter sign given out to them for the night is General Hardee." IMPORTANT DISPATCH FROM GEN. SHERIDAN—THE MASSACRE CON COCTED WEEKS AGO -REPORTS OF GEN. SHERIDAN'S RESIGNATION. Special Dispatch to The N. Y. Tribune. WASHINGTON, Friday, Aug. 3, lisGG. Gen. Sheridan telegraphs to-day to Gen. Grant that the riot was not the result oi' a mere mob, but a preconcerted and prear ranged plan of weeks for the slaughter of Union men. The dispatches of the Associ ated Press are •tempered to suit the lati tude from whence they are sent, and are dictated by the disloyal State ollicials. At torney-General Herron, who was an officer in the Rebel service, virtually ranks Gen. Sheridan, as by the order of the President the military are subject to the call and dis position of the civil authorities. Rumor here to-night [says Gen. Sheridan will re sign on account of the President's conduct in this affair, aue the embarrassing posi tion loyal officers are placed in. A CONFIRMATORY DISPATCH. PHILADELPHIA, Friday, Aug. 3, 186(1. A special dispatch from Washington to The Ledger says : Gen. Sheridan, in a dispatch from New-Orleans to Gen. Grant, received to-day, states that the late riot in that city was not the effect of a hastily con gregated mob, as has been represented, but was the result of a preconcerted and prearranged plot of the Rebels to slaught er the leading Upon men of the State, and that there is evidence that the plan was concerted weeks ago. Sheridan also gives it as his opinion that it is hut the com mencement of the Rebel plan to rid Louisi ana of Union men. Officers from the South- West say there are only about 1,900 United States troops serving in Louisiana. JfcaT Gov. Murphy, of Arkansas, writes, under date of July 20, that there is not a' paper in Little Rock that will publish the call for the Union State Convention, and but one in the whole State in the interest of loyal men. He adds : "At our election in August the rebel element will have full control, excepting, perhaps, in a few north western counties. The feeling toward Congress is more hostile than during the war, and hatred of Union soldiers and Un ion men is a matter of ambitious pride. I would have called a session of the Ar kansas Legislature, had it been possible to have procured a quorum, but from deaths, resignations, and removals to other States, it could not have been had. i regret this ; much, as the Legislature to be elected will j be chosen from rebels who have done good I service in the war."

These parties were born and married in Connec ticut, moved to Bradford county in 1811, and to Herrick, their subsequent home, in 1820. They leave a numerous and respected line of descend ants nine children, twenty grand and two great grand children, twelve grand children having pass ed before them to the grave, one of them dying in the service of his country. Mr. and Mrs. S. were members of the Baptist church, christian and ex emplary in their lives, illustrating the energy, in telligence and morality of New England character. Forty-six years ago, when they located in this town, the surrounding region was a wild wilder ness, and theirs was emphatically frontier life, with its hardships, exposures and vicissitudes. They bore mi active part in clearing the outlines of what has since become a thrifty and populous community. The highway on which now runs a daily stage from Camptown to Smithboro", was lo cated by Mr. Squires through this section, himself blazing the trees from point to point. He assisted extensively in the survey of the lauds, then cover ed with primeval forests, now waving with lnxur- I iant harvests. No chapter of a country's history is more inter esting than the personul experience of its early settlers. Their pilgrimage through _thc woods on fool or with ox teams, t'ue encampment by the brookside, the first log house, going miles to mill, backing the grist to and fro, children waiting for father's return, their next meal necessarily deferred until his arrival, the occasional gatherings ol dis tant neighbors earnest in friendships and unso phisticated in manners, the unwelcome call of the panther from time to time, and the subsequent bunt, the first wedding in the settlement and the first grave en the hill-side, these, and the thousand incidents of pioneer experience, form a volume instructive s philosophy end more thrilling than the pictures of fiction. The deceased once said to a neighbor : '• My first crop in Herrick was a patch of potatoes. 1 dropped them upon the surface of the ground, among roots and stumps, scraped over them ashes from the log heap and leaves from the surface, covering them as best I could, trusting without further culture, to the rains and sunshine of heav en to do the balau-e. In the Fall! O, what Pota toes! Such ones i never saw before nor since." Adding significantly, " the mint of them made them To true men, poverty is neither dishonor nor dis comfiture, a. mere circumstance, a bubble upon lilt 's stream. Their energy is their capital, their perseverance the warrant of success. The amount of difficulties met and overcome, is ever the true test of character, both of mind and muscle.— Facing trials and surmounting obstacles, whether physical, mental or moral, beget within the soul strength of will and self-reliance, qualities essen tial to greatness in man. Penury and hardships have ever been the educators of heroic characters. As tallest trees grow near the stream, so the no blest men in all lands and ages, have sprung up where toils and privations were thickest. If he is a benefactor who makes two blades of grass grow where but one grew before, then great praise is due the early settler who wars with the woods, smooths down and beautifies a hundred acres of God's ere atiou, and aids at the same time in laying deep and broad the foundation of society's after growth and expansion. The working producer, whether of thoughts or things, in the city or upon the world's outer verge, is really the deserving and great man, while the opulent, inactive consumer, is but a waste-pipe, a useless feeder upon other men's creations. Never will posterity be fully sensible of its in debtedness to the pioneer laborers. The monu ments of their toil are upon every side of us. We travel the roads they carved out and reap the fields they cleared. The fountain that bubbles at our feet they searched out in the wilderness, and the tree that drops fruit into our lap, was planted by their hands. As these, our fathers and mothers, venerable in years and experience, are fast passing away to their celestial homes, be it the pride and praise of the children, to honor their names, keep green their memories and emulate their virtues. miscellaneous. /"^JALTIOX. — Whereas, my son Edgar V/ \ roman, has left ray house without any just cause, I therefore forbid any person trusting hire on my nc couut, as I shall pay no debts of his contracting after thiedatc.
