NEGRO JURYMEN.-Last week we witnessed the
novelty Of two colored men serving upon jury
Their appearance, in the jury box excited some
curiosity when they first made their appearance
but this soon subsidized and the comments of
the spectators were rather fazorable than other
wiss. A gentleman who served them inform us
that in the jury room their conduct was most be
coming They acted with great modesty but
firmly for their own convictions, and gave the
best of reasons therefor. They were inteli-
gent gentlemen and the novelty OF the innova
ton soon wore off-West Chester RenlLblican.

FOR SECRETARY OF STATE.

- held his Office but one term, anu OF the
cabooI Superint endent, who has served out
o,aatern and portion OF another, Is evil
denly growing 'rouger among the hepuo-
lieou papers. We were in favor OF retaining
NJ Breese at the head Of the Secretary OF
State Department, provided any OF the pres
ent officers should be given third term, as
he has certainly shown great capacity ana
fitness for the place. But in view OF the
nrohabIe changes we have no besitancy in
declaring our preference for Gen. 9. K GIL

candidate for the Office as Mr.. 6reeSe )

Cen Gill is deserving, popular and emf
nentIy capable His service to the country

ability would add strength to the tiche''
No public man in the state is more thorough

of the Republicans in this section OF

be man Of the people, and IN every
capacity in which ne has been tried be
has always worked for their interest

without fear Of contradiction that for
the office OF Secretary of State no man
would fill it with more credit and

would add to the popularity of our
ticket this fall, aud would be certain
Of meeting with hearty eudors ement

BIoodIess Success of the Russian ES-
pedisiOn.


ST.. PETERSBURG, May 6. = The
X han of Khva has sent an cmbassa-
dor to the Russian Post No. L, at tic
mouth of the river Japartes, with au-
thority to accept any terms Kauff-
man, the Russian Commander may pre-
scribe. General Kaufman has not
seen these men, as they went to the
Fort by different route from that by
the Russians are advancing. they
did not encounter the column, oonse-
quently there is no change iu the plans
yet, nor a cessation Of operations 1t
appe airs that the Kahn Is disposed to
give ample guarau tee for the future.
Khirghese, with this Intelligence, have
been sent from Post No. to overtake
the column from that place and met
the column from Tashkend.
The Kahn's disposition to come to
terms will, therefore, be known by
Kaufman by May lst. A favorable
termination OF the expedition may be
looked for by the end of May.
The Kahn is acting, it is reported,
on English advice, aud has liberated
and sent to Post No. l twenty-one
Russians, hitherto held as slaves in
his dominions. Some Of them have
died since their arrival from the horri-
BILE treatment they received while in
slavery, 1t is supposed the Kahn
hopes to soothe Russian temper, but
it is a mistake on his part to furnish
just now this terrible exciting illustra,
ton of barbarism and cruelty Other
Russians are known to be still in slav-
cry at Orenburg. The column was
moving from Embra to Kungrad by
land and water, tho ugh very much en-
barrassed by excess i've snow. 1t has
probably reached its destination by this
time. The Kahn thus treats with
the Russians at his gates, and has nc
right to expect better terms than if the
city was actually taken

Who Burned Columbia, S. G. !!

WASHINGTON, May 5-The ques-
ton as to whether Columbia S. G.,
was fired by the rebel or Union army
is one of considerable Importance, mas
much as the decision involves a large
amount Of money. Most Of the cotton
destroyed there, 1t is claimed belonged
to British subjects, aud the aforesaid
subjects are anxious TO know who is re-
sponsihie for its destruction. A recent
publication of the testimony Of the
testimony of General Wade, Hampton
and Beauregard, taken before the
Brstish and American Mixed Claims
Commission, has called forth the tes-
tilnony Of Generals Sherman, Howard
and Logan. all whom were present at
the time Columbia was fired
There is marked disagreement be-
tween the evidence Of the Confederate
and Union officers, and from present
appearances the commission will have
a lively time getting at the facts
Hampton and Beauregard swear that
Sherman's bummers, as they were
called fred the town, beginning with
the cotton which was piled up in the
streets. On the other hand, Sherman
Howard end Logan all concur in say
ing that the town was blazing when
the Union army approached it, their
theory being that it was fred by the
retreating Confederates If the fact
be established that Sherman's army
applied the torch, of course the Gov
eminent becomes responsible for the
cotton destroyed, which will amount,
it is said, to several million dollars.
General Sherman is very positive in
his testimony, and SO also are Howard
and Logan. As might be expected
the Britishers to be benefte are
rather anxious to believe Wade Hamp-
ton aud Beauregard. The weight t
the evidence before the Commission.
however, is decidedly against them.
