BUTLER CITIZEN JOHN H. & W. C. NEGLEY, PROP'RS, Entered at the Postoffice at Butler as second-clcsss matter. -WEDNESDAY, APRIL 4, 'B3. Mo. WILLIAM H. WALTERS has been appointed postmaster at Mars office, this county _ TNE House at Harrisburg has pass ed a bill prohibiting political asses?- ments, and tbe State Senate is likely to concur. Voluntary contributions will, however, not be declined. JOHN BROWN, was the name of Queen Victoria's venerable personal attendant, and he is now dead. Whether his soul will "go marching on," as is that of our John Brown, is very doubtftil. DUKES was given twenty-four hours to leave Uniontown, by tbe indignant citizens of that place, to which be had returned. He left before that time had expired. He was forced to resign his seat in the Legislature, and the same is declared vacant. EX-GOVERNOR JOHN L. CARROLL, a great grandson of "Charles Carroll, of Carrollton," Md., a signer of tbe De claration of Independence, and a then wealthy slave holder, was recently on a jury in Ellicott City, Maryland, on which were three colored men. THE Clarion county jury commis sioners were somewhat surprised when they discovered they had drawn a woman's name for juryman for the coming April term. If a few more women were drawn the juries would perhaps give better satisfaction. MR. CLARK WILSON, wiih a portion of his family, have removed back to his house on the hill in Parker City. He formerly published the Oilman's Journal there, during tbe palmy day 3 of Parker. He then publtahod a pa per here for a short time and from here removed to Smetbport, McKean coun ty, Pa., where he and family are still publishing the McKean Democrat. Miss. JEAN WALLACE, of Pittsburgh, sang several pieces at the concert given by the Germania Orchestra, in the Court House last Thursday evening. Her singing was very favorably re. ceived and highly appreciated by the large audience present. With a fine voice and a very graceful and natural manner she would likely be a favorite anywhere. "We understand an effort will be made to have her return to Butler at some future time. MR. DAVID BOYLE, formerly of this county, but now living near Rochelle, Illinois, met with a serious loss by fire on the 11th ult. His barn, twelve valuable horses, six choice milk cows, seven calves, 1,000 bushels of oats, 300 bushels of corn, 14 tons of hay and other valuable property, were all con sumed. Mr. Boyle has become one of Illinois' extensive and successful farm ers and we, with his many friends here, regret to learn of his above loss. He is a son-in-law of tbe late Judge Mar shall, of Adams township, this county, deceased. _ H. H. GOUCHER, ESQ., has removed to Warren, Warren county, Pa., for the purpose of practicing his profes sion of the Law. Mr. Goucher came to this place from Venango county, about ten years ago and had succeeded in building up a very good practice here as an attorney. He was regard ed as an honest and honorable man in his profession, and his leaving us, we believe, is mainly in the hope of secur ing better health, which was not good much of the time while here. We can commend him to a favorable reception among the people of his new home. MR. HENRY FLICK, of Middlesex township, this county, has our thanks lor a copy of ''The Butler Democrat," sent us, of date of January 3, 1844, con taining tbe "Trial of Samuel Mobawk" for the murder of the family of James Wigton. This account in the Demo crat of the trial is much fuller than that contained in the copy of the Herald sent us by the friend we men tioned last week. It contains the charge to the Jury in the case by Judge Bredin, which the Herald copy did not. The Democrat was then published by Dr. George W. Gettys, and we have no doubt if some of the following is sues of it, or of the Herald, in the fol lowing months of February, March or April, 1844, could be found, the article we are in search of, from the pen of Rev. Bassler, on Mohawk's case, will also be found. If Mr. Flick or any citizen of the county can lay their hands upon such issue of the Democrat or Herald we will be greatly obliged. Those two papers were the only ones published in this place at that time, spring of 1844. Electing Post Masters. From a copy of the Herald, of this place, of date of February lit, 1845, we find there was an election held for the Post Office here. The notice published sets forth "that the fairest mode of selecting a suitable person for Postmaster for the borough of Butler, would be an election." A preliminary meeting was held and a Judge, Inspector and Clerk appointed to hold tbe election, which came off at the Court House, on the 14th day of March, 184f>, between tbe hours of 2 and 6 o'clock, p. M. David A. Agncw,Eeq , having receiv ed a majority of votes was in conse quence duly recommended for the ap pointment. We reproduce this as bear ing on the present contest for the post office here, for which an election is a<iked and expected. Free Railroad Passes. There is a bill before the Legisla ture to prohibit Railroad companies from granting free passes to members of the Legislature, State officials, J udg< sof Courts, etc. It is t otitic d ' An act to enforce tbe 3d and Bth ar. tides of tbe Constitution, relative to 1 the issue of Free Passes," and is in. j tended to carry out tbe provisions of that instrument, which have been eith er evaded or disregarded up to the present time. Tbe purpose and inju rious effects of these free passes is well known, and all gjod people of the State would like to see the Constitu tion obeyed in that matter. As we stated last week, the votes of our Sen ator, Hon. John M. Greer, upon this bill are all upon the wrong side. We regret to see this, but the record shows that his votes are all upon the side of the ring, as led by Cooper in his oppo sition to the bill. Senators, it is said are specially favored with these passes, they being granted to them not only far their own use but made to embrace their friends and families. From the amount of traveling done npon them it can easily be seen how much a Sen ator would save a year, while other jitizens have to pay their way upon railroads. The plan of those now op posing the bill in the Legislature is to burden it down with obnoxious amend" ments, so as to render it useless, and we find Mr. Greer voting for such amendments. The same practice was pursued two years ago to kill the pro posed Constitutional Prohibitory Amendment, and will 'doubtless be tried again on that bill at this session; but in this day, with all the means the people now have of knowing tbe acts and votes of their representatives in the Legislature, it will be impossible to deceive them, or give votes contrary to good government and morals with out their condemnation. NEW YORK PROHIBITS FREE PASSES. ALBANY, N. Y. f March 30. Tbe Assembly Railroad Committee agreed unanimously to report favora bly the anti-Free Pass bill. It applies only to granting passes to Supreme Court Judges, State officials and mem bers and employes of the Legislature. Giving such passes by a railroad com pany is made a misdemeanor. The Star Route Trials. On the first page of the CITIZEN this week will be found the testimony and affidavit of one of the Government wit nesses in the notorious Star Route cases that are dragging their slow length along at Washington city. This affidavit will give our readers some idea of the nature of the cases. They are connected with the management of the Post Office Department under the Ad ministration of President Hayes. One Brady was the Assistant Postmagter General, and Stephen W. Dorsey was a Senator of the United States from Arkansas. These two are now the principal defendants in the cases, called "Star Route," because they were pre ferred routes, in the far West, that the pay of the contractors for carrying the mails upon was largely increased. Brady and Dorsey conspired to cheat tho Government by having this large increase of pay made and in which they shared with the contractors in the profits arising from tbe increased pay to the contractors. Hence the suits to punish them. The grossest corruption has been shown by these men, but the cases, if prosecuted as they should have been, might have been ended long ago. It is now near two years since tbey were commenced. Supreme Court Checked. By tbe following action of tbe House at Harrisburg, last week, it will be seen that there is a prospect of hav ing the Supreme Court of this State restrained from such arbitrary action as it took some year ago. It will be remembered that this and nearly all of the counties of4he State were by aa order of the Judges of the Supreme Court required to go to Philadelphia for a hearing of cases appealed to that final tribunal. The bill below re ferred to will, if passed, fix the Su preme Court districts, and tbe counties comprising the same, in such a man ner as to be beyond the power of its Judges to change, alter or amend the same: THE BILL REPEALING THE ACT OF 1876 PASSES THE HOUSE. IIARRISBUBO, March 20.—The after noou session of the House was occu pied with the dissussion of House bill repealing the act of 187 C, which al lows tbe Supreme court to fix judicial districts. The bill also prescribes new districts for tbe future. It was urged by Mr. Sponsler, of Perry, and oppos ed by Bullitt, of Philadelphia. Final ly it was so amended as to require a session of twenty-five weeks in Philadelphia, five in Harrisburg and ten in Pittsburgh, and passed third reading by 121 yeas. The districts assigned as follows: Easter.i District —Berks, Bradford, Bucks, Carbon, Chester, Delaware. Erie, Huntingdon, Lehigh, Luzerne, Lackawanna, McKean, Monroe, Mont gomcry, Northampton, Philadelphia, Pike, Schuylkill, Susquehanna, Tioga, Wayne, Warren, Wyoming, Lycom ing, Columbia, Sullivan, Clinton, Clearfield, Bedford, Lancaster, Craw ford, Klk, Cameron and Montour coun ties.

STEIN k SON'S, I NEAR FORTY YEARS A(iO. 1 TRIAL OF THE INDIAN Samuel Mohawk. Having occasion recently to need a paper connected with th-> CUM' « »t the Indian Mohawk, who killed the family of Mr. James Wigton, iu Slippery rock twp., this county, .Inly 1, 1843, and having made a public request for a copy of an old Butler pnper containing an account of the case, a friend sent us a copy of the Democratic Herald of December 20, 1843. This copy, al- j though much dilapidated and torn, \ contains the trial of Mohawk. W bile , it is not just the paper we desire to i have, yet it is of great interest, the I more so as there appears to have been no file kept at that time by the publishers of the Herald of their paper. The ; paper that is really desired is one that j contains an article written and publish- I t*d by the late Rev. G. Bassler, on the conversion of said ludian to Christiani ty, through Mr. Bassler's influence and work with him while he lay in the jail here, and published at or about the time of his execution. Of this event, or act in the case, strange as it may appear, there i 3 no record of it to be found about our Court House at present. But the execution and burial of Mohawk must haye been in the spring of 1844, probably in the month of either March, April or May. So if any person in the county has kept, or knows of a copy of a Butler paper, containing said article of Rev. Bassler, published about that time, spring of 1844, we will be greatly obliged to them for the loan or use of it for a short time. From the account of the trial, found in the paper sent us, we find the- fol lowing facts: From the testimony of Col. Jacob Brinker, given on the trial, it appears Mohawk was at his public house in Butler on the 29th day of June, 1843. Col. Brinker kept the house in the south end of Butler, now kept bv Mr. Geo. VV. Campbell. From his testi mony it seems Mohawk came there sick, evidently made so by strong driuk. He was about Butler it set-ius for some days, and left in the stage going northward in the evening. Col. Brinker was of tbe opinion that he was crazy from strong driuk. From the testimony of Mr. John Sill, who then kept tbe well known and far-famed STONE HOUSE, twelve miles northward from Butler, on the old Mrrcer pike, and yet standing, it appears that Mohawk reached there with others in the stage, on the last night of June 1843, about 11 o'clock. It seems, for some cause or other, the stage went off and left him at the Stone House. Mohawk seems to have been much displeased at tha stage leav ing him there. Sill bad a good deal of trouble with him during the part of the night he was at his house, but Gually got him out of the house and saw him run up the Franklin road. This was the last seen of him until after the murder of the Wigton family the next morning. James Wigton lived up above, about a mile and a half, on the Slip peryrock creek, a short distance south of the old Kiester place, where we be lieve Mr. Paul Kiester now lives. On the morning of the Ist of July, 1843, he arose early iu the morning to go to his father's, about two miles di^tan f ( to borrow a horso to plow his corn. He states in his testimony that he left hid family, a wife and five children, all in bed and sleeping. He got back about !* o'clufk to find his family all dead. Mohawk had there—bow he came, what al! be said on (Jjd and what ail took place in that family on th.lt morning, no one was living to tel), and never has or will be fully known. But surroundings, and the marks in the house, aijd the cuts and wounds upon Mrs. Wigton showed she had struggled bard and bravely for tbe life of her family and h<r own. A stone, clotted with blood and hair, was feund near, which showed the instru ment of death the savngo had used, The heads of the children were all struck and crushed, it was supposed with that stone, as they lay dead in the beds tfopy \yero found in. Mrs. Wigton's name w&3 tlqxgaret and aged 34 years; Alniira, the oldest chiia, was about 8 years of age; Peniuah Jiaucy about 7 years; Perry about 5 years; Amsn(Ja about 3 years, and the youngest, John Wallace, about 10 montha old. Mohawk was captured during the day in the upper story of the Kiester houso, into which he fled when pursued. There was quite a difficulty in secur ing hi iu. Tbe whole neighborhood, having heard the terri.bjp turned out and the excitement was grej»t. When secured he was taken to his victims and did not deny, but said "white women saucy." He was brought to Butler and lodged in jail. We will here have to pass over that took place between then and the trial, tbe principal occurrence being the coming to Butler of a large body of cit izens of the upper end of the county to see that Mohawk was either safely confined or else to take him out of prison and bang him. Rumors had prevailed that the jail was unsafe for his keeping. The nien coming to see after this were heajded by tbe late Capt. Samuel louden. They were f,»at ( however, up at the tavern bouse thcij kept by Mr. Jacob Sieppy, about a mile north of town and the a&mo place now owned by Mr. John Berg. Speeches were made to them by the then J udgo of our CourU, the Hon. John Bredin, Samuel A. Gilmore, K*q., and perhaps other prominent citizens, all to the effect that Mohawk should be safely and securely confined, be tried according to law and punished. This had the effect of quieting the people and they returned to their homes. A bill of indictment, or rather six biils, were found agaippt Mohawk at Sep tember Sesions, 184:j, for tbe murder of his six victims. John Murriu, Esq , dee'd, was foreman of the Grand Jury, and tbe late Dunlap McLaughlin, Ksq., was the District Attorney, tbe office then beiug known as Deputy Attorney General, Jacob Mechling, Jr., was Clerk of Courts, and James Gil more Campbell, Ksq., yet living, being the Sheriff of the county. The trial came on at the following December Sessions, 1843, and com mcwued J)ep. J3. Mohawk was de fended by the iat** Geotgo W. Smith, Ksq., of this place, and ST. P. ffetter man, Ksq., deceased, of Beaver, Pa., C. C. Sullivan, Esq., deceased, and K. McJunkin, Ksq.. uow President Judge, assisted tbe prosecuting attorney for the Commonwealth. The Hon. John, Bred in was tho Judge at the trial, and Hons. .Tames Bovard and John 1' fTy, the Associate Judges, all decra ed. The jury t! at sat in t )<• case was 1 composed of some o the leading eiti ' zens of the county, as follows: .John ! IlranduQ, Isaac Buyer, | Bar .hurt, Robert K. llays, J.>hn O'.iver, It ibtrt Hay, Bobert Lenimon, 1 i Samuel Marshall, G< orge A. Kirkp.ii rick, Join(J.lleUnd. Cunning • bam ami .Mm Dull, all of whom, as . far as we know, are d?ad < xeept Isaac Bover, of Banc-aster twp., and Bobert Hay, who we understand is , living in Allegheny city. Mohawk was convicted, and on January IT, 1H44, sentenced to be j I hung As the Governor has the fix-1 ' iu<* <>f tin- date of executions, and as we have Ix-en unable to iiml that date, it cannot be exactly stated here, but was likely within thr« e menths after j the sentence, January IT, 1844. He was buried in the then woods. North ; Ka.-t of Butler, at a point nearly be- I tween the present residence of Mr. John Haugherty and the Orphans' Home building. He was of the Seneca tribe of Indians and came from Catniviugi s county, New York. We l.ave been led t«> give the above, of this once terrible and excit ing massacre, believing it would be of interest to many at the present di v in our county. The tacts are m xinlv from the paper pent us by the friend alluded to above, at;d as we are endeavoring to obtain another paper connected with this Indian case we may have something to add soon again. ALL newspaper men regret to learn of the trouble that has come to the paper making firm of C. P. Maikle & Company, of Westmoreland county. It was an extensive and flourishing es. tablishment, built up mainly by the in. dustry for years of the late General Cyrus P. Markle, deceased, and now nearly ruined by the drunkenness and profligacy of one of his sons. CORRESPONDENCE. Jacksville. John Gardner of Six >a station was in town last week. J. W. Abernethy, M.

Kor tfco Citizen. MESSRS. EDITORS :—ln looking over the last issue of the Mil lerstown Herald, we notice some remarks concerning the County Com missioners being rebuked by his Honor judge for being too strict in the paying of Jurymen, {n the first place the writer stated what was not true. The Commissioners were never ordered nor taken into the Court on any less of thp kind. The whole mat ter was just this : The Jurors attend ing the March term of the Court were discharged on Friday at 11 o'clock, A. M., acd by a written order of Court, all living 8 miles from the county seat, were to be paid for gi.r days and mileage at six cents circular, to be paid by the ordinary route travel ed from their houses. There were two of the jurymen who lived in Merger tg., J Relieve, who could go near ly home by rail, matting [fop distance in about 40 miles, while by tlie ordi nary route traveled the distance is about 22 miles The Commissioners refused to pay the 63 two by rail and paid them the same as the other jurors WPFP pa'd, by the road generally trav eled. They were not satisfied, and I believe, asked his Honor, Judge Mc- Junkin, if they ought not to be paid the long route, 40 miles, and he said something about the Commissioners 1 tbinkidj, o? mistaking that jurors had no wings to fiy straigl+i, fcenje. So all may see that the coirespondent qi Herald is just a little off the belt in big yersiou of the affair; and further, 1 we thinfe no j'yrur had any right to 1 to oplaiu when he got piMd f°F * fy" • w< * k of six days and was discharged 1 uo t'/'itjai/ at If, o'clock, A.

WINDSOR. t., March 30. —Mrs. I Meaker, who was executed this after noon, slept soundly last nijh:, aud af ter breakfasting, in accordan e with a request made yesterday to see th" gallows, she was led out this murnii g to examine it. She carefully scrutin ized every part of the structure, a - cended the steps of the scaffold a'oic with a firm tretd end without emotion, ami inquired of the SheritF if she would be requi.ed io climb the fatal stairs un assisted at the final moment. The drop and mode of its working w re j looked into with an air of morbid curi osity, »»ul eying the trap she asked, "Is that the place ?" After returning to her quarters she was visited by tie cb»t>!iitu and manifested a most stolid indifference, but later on was visited by Sheriff A tiierton. She inquir *d af ter her husband and daughter, and thin with much agitation said : "Tell them lamto be murd- 'ed t<>-dav. lam on innocent woman." She alluded to htr son's cunfe.-Mou as a be, aud said he had brought her to the gallows. \\ hen Ath rton r «se to leave she began to ! trv, and kissed his right hand twice, and seui!i'i_' her love to the foiks a' home she cried, "(Jood-bjc, good-bye,'' as he left. A WOMAN' OK NERVE. Mrs. Meaker ate a hearty dinner. HersonAlmon was left in his cell. Mrs. Meaker's arms were pinioned Be fore nhe left her cell, the procession then moved to the gallowSj where she was seated in a ehair and evidently did not like the crowd. After prayer by the chaplain, the sherill' handed her a paper with these words: E.MKI.IXK M I:AK KK —IF you have anything to say why the execution of the sentence should not take plae.e you have now nn oppor tunity. This was done on account of her deafness. She was calm and pale, and sat with closed eyes. "Goed-bye, Mr Hull, I have nothing more to say, on ly I forgive you for hanging me." Her legs were then tied, she standing all the time. She showed no sigus of trembling, no fear, and said ' May God forgive you all." The drop fell at 1:30. After hanging 30 minutes the body was taken down. She died with scarcely a struggle. She was buried in the prison cemetery this afternoon. HISTORY OF THE CRIME. Mrs. Meaker was a woman of vio lent passions, and when Alice Meaker, a weak girl, niece of her husband, was brought from the poorhouse, she vent eJ her spite on the child, punishing her terribly, and finally urging her son Almon to aid her to hide the child in the mountains to starve. Altnon re fused, but after weeks of urging bought ten cents worth of strychnine and se cured a horse and wagon. The girl w«"s carrJed out of the house, forced to take the poison, and died in terrible agony before the vehicle reached a swamp near the hills. The body was thrown into the mud and grass and stamped out of sight by Almon. These afe the facts as given by the son in his cqn cssion on which bis mother was cpn/icted. The Legislature interfered in Almon's behalf after the Governor refused todoso.and commuted his sen tence to imprisonment for life. The Meakers were small farmers, the hus band and wife lining on yory bad terms with each other, and changing their residence frequently on account of Mrs. Meaker's quarrels with her neighbor?. IVkirkle Arrested— Near $30,060 ftocov tired. CINCINNATI, March 30. —C. C. Mar kle the absconding paper maker, of Pittsburgh, was arrested to-day and $28,000 recovered cf the amount he had taken from Pittsburgh a few days ago. His brother-in-law, J. W. Overholt, who has been in his com* pany at Chicago and St. Louis, came with him here on Thursday, both reg istering at the lJurnet House under the name of Overholt, whose object had been to ftspertajn if Markle, who hai] been ON A 810 SPREE ever since leaving Pittsburgh, had any large sum still with him, was satisfied yesterday and telegraphed Detective O'Mara, of Pittsburgh, to come on here and also Mr. Lippincott, the assignee. They both arrived to-day, O'Mara hav ing telegraphed Detective Wappen stein meanwhile. This morning Lip pincott saw Marble and persuaded him to give up $1,509, w}iich the latter persisted was all he had left. The de tectives were then called in and took hiR) to the office of the Chief of Police. On the way Markle, who supposed he was being arrested on a charge of de-: fraudingr his creditors, tried to bribe the officers to let him go, thus inadvertent ly disclosing the fact that he still had plenty of money left.

GREAT RE3 ' DISLOCATIONS, I REMEDY FELON.*, foh DRUGGISTS KEEP IT EVERYWHERE. Tlio Bad Dmi WorllilehS arc never imitated or counterfeited. This especially true of a family med icine, and it is positive proof that the remedy imitated is of tha value. As soon as it had been tested and proved by the whole world that ilop iiitters was the purest, best and most valuable family on earth, many imitations have sprung up aud began to steal the notices in which the press and pcoi-bof the country had express ed the merits of 11. 13 , anil in every way trying to induce suffering invalids to use their stuff instead, expecting to make money on the credit and good name of 11. b. Many others started nostrums put up in similar style to 11. 8., with various devised names in which the word "Ilop" or llops were used in a way to induced people to be lieve they were the same as Hop Hit lers. All such pretended remedies or cures, on matter what their style or name is, aLtl especially those with the word ' Hop" or "Hops" in their name or any way connected with them or their name, are imitations or counter feits. Beware of them. Touch none of them. V T sc nothing but genuine Hop Bitters, with a bunch or cluster of green Hops on the white label. Trust nothing else. Druggists aud dealers are warned against dealing in imitations or counterfeits. FROM THE SOUTH. A IVrfoel C'oiiihiiiJttioi; with liv;> Satjciil Wliy il Concerns You.
