A Scene in West Virginia.

The following information has been received
from Greenbrier, West Virginia:
" Las, spring Robertson and Mcpherson,
Sheriff and Clerk of the county, were removed
from office by the notorious Judge Harrison on
account of political differences. They appeal
ed to the Supreme Court of West Virginia. and
by a recent decision of that Court were REIN
stated. 1t has been rumored since that Harri-
son would have them Indicted for perjury in
taking the test-oath, and thus attain his pur-
pose. On Thursday last grand jury having
been selected with reference to that purpose,
sent to the Court for instructions, and McPher-
son being present, rose and accused the Judge
of having packed the jury with view to &C
complishing personal ends.
"The Judge retorted, and Mcpherson, who
is powerfully built, seized and attempted to
throw him out of the window, but was prevent
ed by bystanders. The Judge ordered his Off
GERS to arrest Mcpherson, but the citizens would
not allow it. The excitement was intense.
Mcpherson was unmolested all day, but
surrendered himself in the evening"

THE Prince GEORGES LYNCHING.-It is
stated that large number of those engaged in
the late lynching affair in Prince Georges Conn-
ty, Md, were soldiers from Fort Washington,
aud that the strange Disguise used on the occa-
sion, viz, no coats and pants, was adopted in
consequence of their inability to obtain other
clothing No matter now who is implicated,
the act was and is approved by the community
in whose midst it occurred, and however much
it was to have been deplored, the perpetrators
will never be moeSted.-AleIandIid Gazette.
