CtMl.Uf .MCATIOX. I
Captain II. II. Wilson. Ia the first
issue of the Republican a statement is
published by A. L. Guss and ttoro to,
which oat of justice to myself requires
some notice oo my part, A the crowded
stato of your column lest week prevented
the insertion of niy answer. I hep of you
an opportunity fur a hearing this week,
and ask those who read Mr. Guss' card to
! read my statement and then judge. Par-
; don me it tue cause ot truth requires it
to bo long. In January, 18G1, I pur
chased from A. I j. Guss the halt interest
in the Juniata Sentinel by article dated
January 9th, 1SG1. Possession to date
from January 1st, Consideration 750,00,
which was paid him. We became equal
partnors in profits and losses. I promised
to try to get W. W. Davis appointed one
of the U. S. A.-sessors, and by an arrange
ment made first between Guss and Davis
before I bought, Davis agreed if appoint,
ed, to jny G uss one-third of his salary
and to assist in conducting the turner
This was told to me by them both at the
tin.e of the purchase, and I of course
agreed to It, as it was no matter to
w ? " r' dunes of the .
Assessorshm were faithfn'K-nr!..r.nJ !

was no party to the agreement, only I j
approved of it as I wanted the office to go
fur the benefit of Guss & Davis. I thought
Invis would attend to the duties, iu whi;h
I o mless I was sadly mistaken, and 1
thought the $30,00 a month Guss would
get would help (ius along, as he said the
Ulu Vy: "e "as in rttt
for nearly all its Oligionl Cost, and the
S750.00 he would get from me would pay
i.-l.-J .1:1 Tl
th'it much debt and stop that much in-
! terest. If the fiVcr made no monev. 1 1
would get nothing for my investment, and !
11 u iosc, 1 must pay my nan. Mr. l.ufs
was sure of $30,00 a mouth from the of-
fice held by Davis. Mr. Guss does not
dare to say that cither the firm or myself
were to get any part of that fund. Ii
was for Lim fc'one.
I must rik my money
on the chanco of a profit from the paper.
lie says I agreed to let him have all the !
profits of the ScMtintl too. This is a mis-
take, as the article coutains no such a
clause. It sounds like the chil l who
wanted the "candy and tho penny both."
He got the 5750,00, retained his half :
and as Davis was appointed, Mr. Guss got
the monthly pay for nearly a year. During
this time Mr. G usa was coustautiy com-
plaining of Dis doing nothing iu the
office, and fiually he and Davis disagreed
so n:uch that av!s concluded t.e would
not pay Guss any more. In December. 1
1864, I think it w.is Davis told me he
would not pay Gus any more, and that
be told Guss so. I to!i him ho was hon-
orably and legally bound to do it, atd that
he ought to do it, aud that Guss could
easily prove the bargain by Messrs. Uals-
bach, Stewurt aud myself. 1 insisted up-
ou bim keeping hit. word. He said he '
would not do it and Guss might sue hiiu,
that he had nothing he could get Gus
soou told mo about it, aud said I must
make Davis pay him. I told hiiu 1 could
not, and that he should sue him. He
said I must got Davis removed aud get ,
him the office, which I refused to do. j
Ju-st after the election in 1864 Guss in- (
sisted upon having li. F. Kepuer removed
as Post-Master aud lnmselt appointed.
L'eeause the Post Office and Assessorsbip
were refused bim, he became very much
ofluuded at me. 1 had not the power to
mate removals aud arpoiutmeuts as he
demanded, but was wiiliog to see him
gratified, if he could do it himself, but he
took great offence because I would uot do
it for him. Mr. Davis re.'used to pay
him, and at tho request of Mr. Guss who
made serious charges ugaiust Davis in- j
tegrity in not accouuting for money he
received ou account of the paper wheth-
er true or not I dou't say. The name of.
Mr. Davis on March Sth, 1865, was taken
down from the paper, and the paper was oue.half the control, and the only nns
thercafter conducted by Mr. Guss aud . t;lke made was in yielding as often

there Guss dropped it, as lie fcaid Davis

Now, this statement Mr. Gues cannot
deny, and I submit to the public if there
is any promises in the whole transaction
made by me which I did uot fulfill. I
paid him the $750,00. Davis was ap
pointed tad paid Guss the mouthly pay
for nearly a year, and if Davis violated
his bargain with Guss and refused to pay
him, it was not my fault. I fulfilled my
part of tho bargain, and now get from

that he was already too well paid by the '

nations are always the result ot some bar-,
gain in Conference, and most always refer
to the nest nomination. Iu 18G4 wheu
Jlr.Bulsbach was nominated, we pron ued
to let MiffliD county have the member in
JS65. Such bargains re always made in
districts whore the representative are less
thtn the number of counties, like ours,
aud they are geuerally fulfilled. I had
no personal interest in it, and only was j
trying to get an equal right for Juuiata. !
I was not a candidate myself, and I do
not want to be. I know the disadvantage
of not having a member from this county, '
and 1 think the people found it out ibis
winter. After consultation with someof my
friends aad with full accord ot Mr Guss,
we concluded to wait iu the hope of get-
ting the pledge required by the County ,
Convention. Mr Guss was as anxious as
any of us, and did not object as he no
swears. I will explain why. lie had
not theu determined to au into the school !
business, and intended to run for Legisla-
1
ture Ure this year. He wanted the j
pledge made so he could be sure of
himself this year. . He wanted the Con
vention last summer to nomiuate him and
got very angry when it was not doue.
We heard nothing from Drown and
Baker and on Saturday before we went
to Snyder couuty Court, I told Guss to
put up the names, and he did sett them
up, aud told me he would leave copy
euougli tu get out the pper with the
ticket up whil- we were gone. He left
early on Mouday morning and on Mon-
day evening I went to the i ffice and in -
quired it lie lelt the copy, and was told anc ju an a.ljiooiut; sort of corn-crib was
he did not, When I met Guss in guy-1 foUUJ the body of Mrs. Dcering, surrouud
der county, I asked why he did not leave j cd by four pf her children, ail so terribly
eopy and orders to get out the paper with ; mutilated that ideetiticaiiou was al::iost
the ticket up. And he said he would impossible ; the ages of the chiiureu
not let the ticket be published until l;o
was paid. The names of Drown and JJa
ker were set up, and had Mr. Guss at

A Family of Eight Persons Butchered,

Yesterday afternoon the fearful discov-

the exception of the eldest child, a boy
named William, ten years of age, who
happened to be paying a visit to a rela -

I During the examination by the Mayor

some bread aud butter after committing
the crime. According to his statement
they did not leave tho place until evening,
though the murders were committed early
in the day. The mother and childreu
were murdered outside of tho house, and
theu dta'jrged inty the barn. Mr. Deer
iug aud his neice wre killed immediately
on their arrival which was between one
acd two o'clock. All were dispatched ia
the same way, by striking them with the
axe on the back of the bead.
It is believed by the authorities that

The authorities are of the opinion that
the man is a notorious falsifier, and be
yond his statement that ho killed the boy
Cornelius, they believe nothing that he

evidently the w.rk of the one hand.
The same axe severed the throats of all.
