SHOOTING AFFAIR.--An accidental
shooting affair occurred on last Thurs.
day in the borough of Washington, re.
sulting in the death Of colored man
named james Bryan. 1t appears that
Bryan and another colored man named
Samuel Adams, both residents OF Wash.
lugton, went out on a cunning expedi.
ton, and when near the Cemetery, out
side the borough, Adams discharged the
gun, accidentally shooting Bryan. The
ball took effect in BIyan's body, near the
heart. He was taken to his home, and
physicians summoned, but no hopes Of
his recovery were entertained. After
the shooting, Adams delivered himself
up, and is now in custody. The shoot.
ing occurred between one and two o'clock
in the afternoon. The injured man has
since died.

THE SURRATT TRIAL.

The counsel for the Government in
the Surratt case are on hand and ready
for the commencement of the trial on
Monday last. Ex-Congressman Riddle,
of Ohio, has completed, in connection
with the Assistant District Attorney, the
preliminaries Of the evidence. The de.
tense are also ready, ana the only delay
will be in obtaining jury, which 1t is
thought will take several days. There
are tour attorneys for the Government
and two tor the defense. The former
are confident of conviction, and will pre-
sent evidence for the prosecution far
more important than that produced on
the military trial OF the couspirators, and
which will, it is believed, clear up the
hidden details Of the assassination plot.

THE FAYETTE DEMOCRACY.

The Commercial OF Saturday last says
the primary elections OF the Faystte
County Democracy last Saturday, results
ed In the choice OF the following ticket !.
Assembly, VIM. II. Playford Tressur-
or, VIM. 8. Strickler Commissioner.
David II. Wakefield Auditor, Finley
Chalfant Poor House Director, Lacy
Hibbs; Jury Commissioner, John Sui>
der Coroner, William II Semans. At
the convention OF the return judges, on
Monday, an effort was made to have
Westley Frost and Thomas b. Searight
appointed delegates to the State Con-
vention OF 1868, it being usual with the
Democracy OF that county to appoin.
their delegates year ahead, so that the
voters cannot instruct. The conven-
ton, however, remembered Senator
Searight's betrayal Of his constituents in
voting against the Free Railroad Law in
the Senate last Winter, and wisely COM
cluded to withhold further honors from
him. The motion was amended by
substituting the names OF q. 4. Boyle
and Joseph T. Mccormick, who were
declared the delegates to the State Con>
venlion of 1868. Mr.. Boyle was mem-
Der of the lower House last Winter, and
voted and labored with the friends of a
Free Railroad Law on all occasions --
This action of the convention Is a severe
rebuke to Senator Searight, who has
heretofore imagined that he carried the
Democracy OF Fayette in his pocket
The only resolution adopted by the con,
vention was the following, and that
unan1nously;(
RESOLVED, That thisS Convention is in

THE LENNOX TRlAL--INTEREST
SCENE IN COURT.

A few days since, in the Washington
county Court, Judge Arheson called the
attention OF Hon. VIM. Montgomery to
the fact that tho jury which had tried
the case of John Lennon, had handed to
the Court q paper in relation to some
remarks he had chosen to make about
them when Lennox was arralgnsd for
sentence, and stated that as the paper
contained matters which were wholly
personal TO him he would kand il to him
without reading, in order that he might
make such response as he thought pro
per. Mr.. Montgomery said that 1t con
tanned nothing he was afraid Of. or was
not ready to answer, and asked the
Judge to read it The paper set forth
that the jury felt themselves greatly
wronged by the Infamous slanderous
charge of perjury which had been made
upon them in open Court by Mr.. Mont
gomery, and appealed to the Court to
vlndicate them from the charge. and
require Mr.. Montgomery to make amends
by retractiDg the same. This course,
they said, was due not only to them.
selves, but to the protection of future
jurles who could not feel safe from the
attacks of Mr. Montgomery 30 long as
he stood unrebuked for his conduct.
On hearing this paper read, Mr.. Mont.
gomery at once rose and stated that he
had made no such charge against the
jury-that he bad only said he feared
the verdict was the result of a com>
promise--that ifit was, the jurors were
guilty OF moral perjury, He did not say
that the jury had compromised away
their convictions OF right, but if they
did, they had proven untai,hfll to their
oaths. He went on al considerable
length to show that IN civil case, where
only matter Of dollars and cents was
IN question, jurors might compromise,
but 1t was otherwise where the guilt OF
a party accused OF crime was involved.
Judge Acheson remarked that the
Court felt at the time that tho reflections
cast upon the jury were altogether un,
warranted,and he had accordingly inter-
pose and stopped Mr. Montgomery as
soon as soon as he could. Making all
due allowance for the zeal and earnest.
ness of counsel, he must say that such
imputations as Mr.. Montgomery had
INDUCED IN were not justified by the
facts, for he had never known a jury
that he thought had labored more hon
es'ly, faithfully and conscientiously to
discharge their duty than the one that
tried this case. As Mr.. Montgomery,
however, had made his response dis,
claiming any intention to charge the
jurors with perjury, he hoped the matter
would end here.
