Mr.. EDIToR:-The following remarks
were made by Judge Barrett, to the jury
who rendered verdict of acquittal in favor
OF the engineer James Griffin, by whose
carelessness an accident occurred at Mast
Hope, Pennsylvania, on the New York and
Erie Railroad, about the same time that
Potter slew Flammer, and which resulted
in the death of several persons. The same
remarks might have been applied with
equal justice by Judge Robinson to the
gentlemen who composed the jury that
tried Potter: II.
"GENTLEMEN:-Yo on last night returned
into court, after a hearing of two days,
with a verdict of not guilty i'll tbs case of
The Commonwealth against James Griffin.
This was not expected, and your verdict
was against law, against justice, and an
outrage against humanity. You violated
the obligatian of your oath-a plain simple
obligation to render a verdict according to
to the evidence. Instead of that you rend-
cred verdict against every particle of evil
dence. The cause of the defendant was
abandoned by his counsel Drowning men
will catch at straws. The theory of the
uelenSe Is unknown 10 the law, and the
counsel for the defendant did not believe it
themselves. was, and still am, astonisll-
ed at your verdict. l am astonished that
you should in this way set aside the law
and violate your oaths; and l trust that the
spirits of the dead, dying, bleeding and
burned victims of Mast Hope will rebuke
you us long as You live. We have no pow
er to cure the great wrong which you have
inflicted on the community.
''ln future l hope you will feel proper
regard for your oaths. You are now dis
charged from any further duty at this
court. You are not fit to sit as jurymen
will not try causes before such jury

The Potter farce.

The Potter trial at the late term of Court
in this counly, is meeting with that univer-
sal execration which it deserves 1t is pro-
nounced judicial murder, and the Jury are
denounced as periured men. The whole
community is made to share the odium, by
some, who at distance, not only condemn
the jury, but declare that it was sustained
by public sentiment. We, OH the part of
the Republicans of the county, and large
number of Democrats who are not lost to
shame and every sentiment of justice, pro-
test against being held responsible for the
odium which belongs to picked jury of
the old rebel leven of the slave power, who
were chosen expressly for the work If the
criminal laws Of the State permit counsel
to challenge without giving a reason for so
doing, every man whom they suspect of
being above the influence which is derived
from the old slave code, that ga black man
has no rights that a white man is bound to
respect, then different verdict than the
one so condemned cannot reasonably be
expected, while Democratic Bench con-

were invited, and seats provided for them

eclat to the scene. The counsel, while
speaking on the side Of the State, were deri-

prisoner were applauded by partizans who
occupied the Court House evidently for
that purpose. Every fair minded man is
utterly disguised with the whole proceed
ing, which was nothing more or less than
the management Of Democratic "ring."
The silly young man who had carried out
the teachings Of the slave Democracy to
the bloody end, seemed to be clated by his
notoriety, and the congratulations he re-
ceived from the admirers of man who had
committed the exploit of "shootng a mig

Against Law and Evidence.

Nerdicts by iuries againt law and evidence
in this State appear to be rapidly growing
into practice. We reported the Potter
murder case last week. in this county, and
as 4 companion piece, we have this week a
similar verdict against the Baltimore
-4merican for SANDER. The prosecuting
party was young man named Snyder, who
was discharged from the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad last fall, where he had acted
as newspaper agent.
The cars passing through the city between
Philadelphia and Washington were several
times entered by rowdies, and the Republi-
can passengers beaten and outraged by
these city roughs. The Ansertcaec gave an
them at the time, and mentioned the APP
parent connection the young man Snyder
had with them, he having gone through
the cars the evening on which one of the
attacks was made, and taken the vote of the
passengers The passengers voting for
Grant we're spotted, and soon after set upon
and beaten. The american charged that
the vote was taken for the purpose of spot
ting the Republicans, and it was proved on
the trial that Snyder was very impudent
and annoying to Republicans while going
through the cars selling papers. His con-
duct coming to the ears of the railroad
company he was discharged, and after this
discharge the american was sued for dam
ages. No attempt was made to prove that
the company discharged him for anything
that had appeared in the Aneriean. The
Judge ruled against the prosecution in ex-
pounding the law of libel to the jury; yet
in defiance of law, evidence and the in
structions of the Court, a Copperhead jury
found a verdict for damages Of $3.50 against
the proprietors of the Anaerican. These
two verdicts commit the State, as far as
juries are capable of doing, to a justifica
ton of the murder of negroes by white
men, and the protection of rowdies who
commit their outrages in the interest of the
Copperhead party, and the rings" which
have taken possession of that party and
control its operations. Honest men of all
parties, how long will you aid these things
by voting the so-called Democratic ticket?

in New Jersey. 1t was intended by
the Land Company which, through its
President, made the gift, that the do.
nation should be well ventilated over
the country. AS they have "a few more
of the same sort left" some of Hiram
Ulysses warm admirers might be in
clined to invest along side of the 'do-
nation" We opine not, however. AS
near as we can ascertain, those sffty
acres" are so barren, that they would
bankrupt A. Z. Stewart if he should
undertake to get crop of turnips from
them. Will not some of our Poudrett
Companies send Hiram Ulysses hun

not convenient to do this, we advise

About sixty suits have been, and are
about to be, commenced in the Circuit
Court against Fayette County, by the
members Of the 9th Iowa Cavalry, to
recover the County bounty of sixty dol
lars each, with interest, the Board Of
Supervisors having refused to pay the
same.
Once think of the "loyal" County OF
Fayette, that gives over one thousand
majority in favor Of paying the bond
holders in gold, repudiating her own
obligations to the soldiers by refusing
to pay them in greenbacks, or even Co.
warrants, and compelling them to resort
to the courts to get their rights.
If they were only bondholders, in
stead of common soldiers, they would
have no such trouble.-West Union.

DoN'T TAKE THE PApERs.-Nul

DON'T TAKE THE PAPERs.-Numer-
Gus cases Of swindling in this county
by patent right agents have been re-
ported to us recently, and it is strik-
ingly suggestive fact that at least four
fifths of the victims SO imposed upon
are men who don't take their county
paper, and in all probability take none
at all, for there are few men Cor at least
should be few so blind to their own in
terests that would subscribe for a paper
published abroad to the exclusion of
their home sheet. We have case in
point of a man who was solicited, last
fall, to take the journal, but refused,
and who has been stuck for the pay
ment of bogus note altered from a
seemingly innocent document which the
victim signed. An investment in our
paper and a careful perusal of its pages
would have saved that man more than
enough to pay for the paper during
the natural term of his life. When
will people learn to act for their best
interests-Muscatine Journal.
