On Saturday morning last, our citizens
were thrown into a high state of excite.;
meat, by the appearance upon the Bulle
tin Board of the telegraph oft*, the fol
lowing dispatch •
"The Blot in Sorantort—lowleuneal

Sulsequat facts show that the above
was a highly colored and very erronious
representation of the true condition, al
though the miners, some of them adop
ted scouts to seek redress which is dis
reputable and not in accordance with the
grand republican principles of our coun
try, and should be frowned down by all
law abiding citizens, yet facts show that
they were misrepresented by designing
parties, to furnish a pretext for bringing
the powei of the military to crush them
out and force, them to terms. Examples
at Washington seem to have given a cer
tain class of people the cue that military
government is the only government for
this country. Every thing is now report
ed quiet "along the line." Governor
Geary having issued writs commanding
the Railway companies to show cause
why they have abused their charter by
extortionary tolls, goes to show that ho
intends to strike at the root of the evil.
A little summary action towards corpor
ate combinations, as well as riotous min
ers, will quell the arder of both and be
more liable to bring about an adjustment
of the troubles.
All late news goes to show that no lives
have been lost by the riotous action of the
miners, but there has been some destruc
tion of property. There are about two
hundred soldiers in camp now, on the old
Fair ground. A sad accident occurred on
Saturday, which resulted in the death of
two members of the Hazleton Guards.
As the Officer of the Guard gave the call
for relief, in awakening, one man, he en
dent'', thinking they were attacked, rush
ed headlong towards.the door of the build
ing, before which were standing Lieut.
Miles Wenner and Corporal William Care.
Just before this man reached the door,
the lock of his musket caught in a pile
of loose boards, the gun went off and the
ball struck Lieut. Wenner (who was stand
ing a little in advance of his companion),
passing entirely through his body and
entering that of Corporal Care. The ball
struck one of the small brass buttons upon
the corporal's vest, carrying it entirely
threugh his body. Both have since died
from the effect of their wounds.

as spir
ited a contest as ever took place in that
State. The Radicals whose ranks bad
been terribly demoralised by the booming
report of the Democratic cannon from
New Hampshire made the rallying cry
upon Connecticut and with the aid of
twelve hundred of their black jewels,
they hoped to elect their governor, but as
biLliardists say, the Democrats have
"Englished" their ball, and it is admitted
by their leading organs that the Demo
cratic Candidate has . a clear but small
majority. Hopes are entertained that
enough scattering votes will be found to
throw the election into the Legislature,
in which event they hope to elect JewelL
returns will not be rendered under a
week yet.
Arm a long struggle, a bill has been
got through the House to afford new pre
texts for military interference with the
ballot box. What could be done without
any law or any pretext, was shown in the
outrages prepetrated in the October elec
tion, in Philadelphia, against which even
our Radical Governor protested. The
new legislation is levelled at the North as
much as the South, for in every bill
against the Ku-Klux, the provisions are
made to apply to all parts of the United
States. They are to aid an extended con
spiracy against itte, civil government.

Shell We Carry IPL,Rnsylvants Next
Under this head the Lancaster In&lli
pricer lipped, earnestly and , eloqteritly
to,the Deatimmtia: State Convention to
givi us candidates who are eminently
qualified and therefore proper men M *, be
nominated for Auditor and Sarveycir Gen
eral. We fully agree with the Inielligen
cer in all that it says, and especially do
we endorse its emphatic declaration that
no man is fit to be nominated for Auditor
General who reeks the office. , When great
emergences like - the Itreseirtiimist, small
men, all &Ornate, should stand aside,
and allow thetonvention to select &can
didate with a solo view to success, and
fitness as the special and BU , important
preliminary to success. The Intelligourxr
says :
Shall we carry Pennsylvania next
Fall ? Tbat is a question which the com
ing State Convention must decide. Much,
very much will depend upon the charac
ter of the candidates. A mistake in the
selection of Our nominee for Auditor
General may easily convert all our fair
prospects of success into assurances of de
feat. The office of Auditor General is one
of decided importance, and the people of
this State are just now in such a peculiar
mood, that some little thing in the politi
cal history or the personal character of
the candidates may determine whether a
Democrat or a Republican shall be elect
ed.
The Democracy must put forward one
of their very best men for Auditor Gener
aL He must be no political hack with a
battered reputation. He must, above all
things else, be a man of the mostnnques
tioned and ungnestionahle Integrity--a
pure, honest, high-minded gentleman.
Suppose, for instance, some man who has
won for himself an unenviable reputation
in the State Legislation- shouldlie nomi
nated ? Does any one suppose he could
be elected? For such a one it would be
impossible to rally the Democratic party,
and the ninny Republicans who are now
ready to upite with us would be repelled
and driven back into the ranks of that or
ganization which they are disposed to
abandon. The character of their candi
date for Auditor General may very readi
ly make a difference of ten thousand votes
to the Democratic party at the 661nins
State election; and may, so far as this
great State goes, decide the Presidential
contest against ns in advance.
There must be no blunder committed
in this important matter. Delegates must
go to Harrisburg, for once, prepared to lay
aside their personal preferences. No man
should be voted for merelytecause he is a
good fellow with a pleasantwq bf so
liciting support. The fact that a man
has been laying plans and pulling wires
,to secure the nomination for Auditor
General ought to be considered a very
strong argument against him. The office
is peculiarly one not to be eagerly sated.
The salary is not large, and the duties are
such as ought to engage a man's whole
time and attention. It is emphatically an
office which ought to seek the man instead
of being sought after.
If there be Democrats who imagine
that we shall carry this State next Fall
without a severe struggle, we tell them
very plainly that they are much mistak
en. The Republicans see and feel that
they can not afford to loose Pennsylvania
in this the year which immediately pre
cedes the Presidential contest. The whole
A • ,
stad
proaii to prevent a Democratic tri
umph. We do not despair of being able
to achieve a glorious victory. We have it
in our power to do so. We shall not lose
hope or abate our confidence if the con
vention gives ns the right kind of candi
dates for Auditor and Surveyor General.
Upon its action hang the hopes of the
Democratic party in this State, and it
may be throughout the country.

Easter Services
The services at St. Paul's Church, Montrose,
on Sunday last, Eastei, were of a character
highly interesting, and that memorable anniver
sary was celebrated in a manner and spirit
which must be conducive of great good. The
church was very neatly and appropriately deco
rated with beautifully arranged and significant
scriptural mottos, emblems and a goodly num
ber of beautiful plants with bursting buds and
fragrant blossoms, which seemed to vie with
each other in their joyful expressions in honor
of the hallowed anniversary. The Rector, Rev.
E. A. Warriner, delivered, as usual, one of his
eloquent, pungent and and practical discourses
to a large and attentive congregation. The cos
tourney Easter offering was presented, which
amounted to $.lBO. At 3 o'clock r. it, the Sab
bath School convened to present their offering,
with the usual services, at which time the rite
of baptism was administered. The Sabbath
School offering amounted to something over $52,
which together with the morning receipts and
sotne additional from other sources, made in the
aggregate, the round sum of $690, which was
both thittering to the Rector and well worthy
the festal day.

rick.
Last Wednesday was another great day In
the Rulloff excitement. At six and a half teloek
in the morning he was carried to Elmira to be
rbsinftenet l / 4 1 fur the murder of Myrick. The
depot and streets were thronged at this early
.t. 7 1 10/ V.9T49/ 1 4 , P4get to
prisoner. Ho was securely - Mufti:tired tO Police
man H. DarrOW,'who was aCCOMpained on the
cars by Sheriff Martin and several policemen.
A number of our citizens also accompanied
them to Elmira. At all the stations along the
route, eager and excited crowds awaited the
approach of the train, that they might look
upon the noted Runoff. Ho satisfied their
curiosity but very little, as he kept his ace
shaded as much as possible. On arriving in
Elmira nearly the entire population were found
to be in the streets, and It was with much
difficulty the officers worked their way to the
Court House, which was also found jammed
with people. Judge Miller presided. Attorn
ey General Champlain and Mr. Hopkins of the
prosecution were present, and N. D. Whitney,
attorney for the prisoner. The proceedings in
the other Courts were then stated by the pro
secution, after which the judge ordered the pris
oner to stand up, and then asked if he had any
-1 lug to,e y sentence should not be passed
uponithia: ,Rulloff answered, "if the Court
please, Yq4",/ Ikthen stepped forward drawing
a roll of papert . lkom .14s i pueltift, Ile said he
knew not how far the court had jurisdiction in
the matter to which he was about to draw their
attention. If it did not pass favorably upon
the points be submitted he could do no more to
arrest the judgment unfairly passed upon him.
Drawing closer to the Clerk's desk he asked to
be excused for resting on the railing, as it was
but natural for him to experience a little trepida
tion nnder the circumstances. lie said I stand
alone. Every man's hand is against me. At
the time of my trial evidence untrue as to facts
was elicited upon which dry conviction was
based. Testimony was witheld which would
have benefitted me.
There were two pistols which if they could
have been gotten hold of and ltroduccd, would
have established strong facts looking to my ac
cquital. These pistols I can Make affidavit to
were in the hands of parties who would not
give them up, or testify as to them without
pay, and I could not hire them. One of the
pistols is in the hands of the prosecution. I
ask the Court to appoint a commission in re
gard to the matter, that I may hate the benefit,
even at this late day, of the facts which then
may be brol.
The District Attorney here denied any
knowledge of the pistols. After some discussion
the Court said it had nothing to do with the
question, and had no power to appoint a com
mission as the prisoner asked.
It may be well to state here that two pistols
were found in the Chenango river, belonging to
the burglars.
Rulloff then stepped forward, and in a low,
but clear voice, read his affidavit, which is of
considerable length, the points of interest in
which we will state, without lumbering our
columns with the entire statement. He does
not admit his presence, but of course the infer
ence drawn from the affidavit will convince all
that he was one of the three men who entered
the store.
His Air:alit affirms that the killing of Myrick
was not done under such sirenmstanres as to
l? 3, nanr a s n2,• n re , i that he did not fire the
especially that of G. S. Burrows; that in the
excitement the trial was not fairly conducted;
that the Court of Appeals did not properly dis
pose of the main points presented In the case;
there was no original design or desire to com
mit the murder; It was committed in resisting
the unlawful violence of the clerks after the in
tention of burglary had been abandoned, and
could not he more than manslaughter in the
second degree. When the clerks awoke there was
but two burglars in the store. The clerks were
awakened by one of the burglars stumbling.
They were told to keep still, when Burrows at
tacked one of the burglars, and Myrick snapped
a pistol in the face of the other. The burglar
then advanced upon 3lyrick with a pistol to
wards north-cast corner of the store, and told
trim to keep still and he would not be hurt.
Myrick tore the mask oil, when the man turn
ed and run down staiza, thus abandoning the
original intent of larceny, leaving Davenport
helpless in the hands of the clerks. Meeting
Jarvis down stairs they concluded to wait and ,
see what would be done with Davenport. Had
they merely attempted to secure his person, the
other men would not have returned or molested j
them. But the clerks proceeded at once to kill
him, and Burrows said "let's make quick work ;
of him." They were seen to twice strike hint
with a stool top, and his groans could be heard.,
The other men then partly returned and could
have killed Loth the clerks from where COSI -
called if they had se desired. Two alarm shots
were fired, taking cure nut to hurt them. Jarvis'
and Myrick clinched at the hold of MI stairs.
Burrows was still clinched with Davenport,
when the third man come forward with no at
tempt to hurt Burrows. At this Burrows let !
go and moved off. Davenport going down
stairs, with his- face covered with blood. Bur

man went over to where Jarvis and Myrick
were, and the latter had caught Jarvis in a cer

portion of the body and appeared to be
hurting him severely.
Jarvis was endeavoring to get away, and the
third man endeavored to force them apart.
Janis finally told Myrick twice to stop or he
would shoot, and soon after did shoot and kill
him. Jarvis fired the shot that killed Myrick;
Runoff did not. It was impossible from where
he stood, for Burrows to distinguish who shot, '
and his testimony Is erroneous. Burrows testi
fies that nulled* did all the firing ; this is erron
eous
for the pistols found in the river allow that
four shots were fired from one and two from the
other, if Bullolf did the other firing he did not
fire the shot that killed Myrick, He also af

Further Particulars.
The Binghamton Republican says:
According to the story of the condemned
man,
ALL TIIREE OF TO& 31171EMEITERS WENT INTO
TIM RIYEIL,
and attempted to cross to the opposite shore,
but Runof only was successful. fie was with
his companions when they were drowned, and
heard their gurgling, and stifled groans as the
avenging waters swallowed up their blood
stained forms. He alone sped on toward the
west side, and climbed the bank opposite North
street, Just as the fire bell was alarming the
people of the city. Where he went to, and
where he remained secreted until the next night,
is yet a mystery; or at most a matter of con
jecture. Nothing has transpired to indicate
the course of his flight, further than the finding
of the carpet bag containing Jarvis' clothes, in
the sitranap back of the Susqlieltanna Valley
11 mime;
Ruling Bars that the burzlars had oak,-
One of those he carried; the other was carried
by Jarvis. beiter was a foolish fellow, wholly
incapable of doing violence to anybody, and
his only qualification for a burglar was that he
was a thief, and would keep a close mouth if
arreqtetl. lie therefore was taken along by .Tarvis
and Runoff, to be used a sort of park horse, in
carrying away stolen goods, and had no need of
defensive or offensive weapons. When they
entered the water, Runoff threw his pistol away,
as a precaution against being arrested with it
upon his person, for he knew they were per.
sued, and stood in danger of arrest. Jarvis
thrtlw his pistol away about nee rods from the
west shod c.
The pistol Runoff says Jarvis bad, was found
by a boy a short time after the bodies of the
drowned burglars were taken out of the river,
at the place indicated by him as the spot where
it was thrti%tm ; hut there are reasons for doubt
ing the truthfulness of his statement about the
manner in which it was left there. Before the
murderera reached the place where the pistol
was found, they Vett wading in the water about
three feet deep, on a perfectly smopth river bed :
but there they mum have stumbled upon a
boulder, about two feet high, and pitched head
long into water neatly ten feet deep. At ex
actly that place it is probable the drowning
occurred, and the most probable theorT is that
j the pistol was dropped more by accident that
design. The fact that one of them held the
! pistol in his bend at the Ow of plunging in
to deep water, shows that they expected to use
it in case of emergency.
We cannot learn positively that the other
pistol, the one HullOlT says he carried, was ever
found. The one raked up by the box, is one of
Ivlntl.,nlo-t and probably 4,f at... ptstols ever manufactured by Smith Lt Wesson.
The barrel is silver plated, the cylinder plated
with gold, and the handle is pearl. The breech
and cylenders are elaborately airvetL It is a
seven-shooter, and four of the cartridges were
discharged, which i 9 quite conclusive evidence
that this is the pistol used by RullotT, and the
one with which 3Tirick was shot. The sworn
statement of FMlloff; that Jarvis, who was en ,
gaged in a desperate encounter with 3lirick, on
the sucems of which his life depended, reached
around behind him anti shpt him in the hack of
his bead, and in doing 80 shot toward himself, I
is a falsehood too apparent to be entertained fin-
moment. A person could not positively be-
lieve it, if his own eyes saw IL Neither will
any one believe that Runoff, who, according to
his own statement, was there to part the com
batants, left Jarvis to the alternat ire of shooting
in that predicament, or receiving serious if not
fatal bodily injuries. lie was not the man to
spare Myrick at the sacrifice of his companion
in crime and ((instant associate and room-mate

More About the Inlght Across the
River - .
This morning Runoff made a full and con
nected statement of the night from the store,
and the drowning of his companions. lie said
that Dexter was so badly wounded that he sank
from fainting once before they gut to the river,
and they were delayed a few seconds on that
account. At the bank of the river they stop
ped and calculated upon the chances of getting
across, but as there was no alternative, they
waded In and attempted to cross. Dexter
could not touch bottom, and at the next stept
they were all in water over their heads. Dex
ter clung to Runoff, who only saved himself
from drowning by a desperate struggle, in which
he broke away from his drowning companion.
Jarvis was a good swimmer, and attempted
to reach the hank, but his strength failed, and
he perished a few feet frog! 411 9! 4 . Runoff . says
