STANTON, Ot. l6.-I have Just seen o
letter addressed to leading Vii giuiau from
correspondent at Lewioburg, Greeubr,er,
Vest Va, which describes an exciting est. G
IN the courtroom Of that town Thursdty.
IL seems that last spring Judge Nat. H,r-
rison, the embodiment of the loyalty of that
region, removed Col, Joel Mcpherson,
clerk, and Mr.. Rjbinson, sheriff from office,
for the reason, 1t was then understood,
that they we're opposed to bis schemes
These gentlemen, whose loyalty had not up
TO this time been questioned, appealed H.
the court of appeals Of that State, and tn At
tribunal recently restored them TO Office
The judges next move was to have them In =
dicted for perjury, and he had a fury sum
moned which was Of the composition to car
~ out his wishes. This jury sent down to
him during court, Thursday, for instruction
as to the the crime of perjury, whereup n
Col. Mcpherson denounced is honor la
open court as haoing packed It for the pur,
pose of indicting him. Not content with
an onslaught Of words, be rushed upon the
bench, seized him, and was about to throw
him out OF the high window OF tho court
room when he was prevented by persons
who interferedt
Judge Harrison called uIo1 the Officers
Of the law to arrest the Colonel, who is an
athletic man, and des,rvtdly popular, but
the people refused to permit his arrest
Thus things continued until late in the al
ternoon, when Col. Mcpherson delivered
himself up. Col. Mcpherson will be remem
bered as the fine looking, pleasant gentle
man OF that zme who was one of the West
Virginia Commissioners in regard to the
Chesapeake and Ohio railtoad.
