THE PATTENBURG RIOTS.
The Prisoners All Indicted for Murder
They Plead Not Guilty.
FLEMISGToN, n. j., April IL, 1873.

FLEMINGT0N, \. D., April III, 1878.
After a protracted session the Grand Jury of
Hunterdon county came into Court this afternoon
with indictments OF murder against seven OF the
Pattenburg rioters-Patrick Delay, David College,
Patrick Mccoy, John Bogue, John Kelly. Barney
McFadden and John Coyle. There was considera-
BILE debate in the Grand Jury room before the in
dictments were found, number OF the Jurors being
anxious to indct only for riot, but owing
to the energetic measures taken by the prosecuting
counsel the jury, by close vote, decided to ndct
the men for murder The men have now been lying
in jail for months and should long since have
been tried, but the course OF Jersey Justice II sure,
Is generally slow. And In addition to this, the
prosecution counsel, unused TO deal with criminal
cases, were so overweight with the magnitude OF
the job that they bunged the indictments at the
last term OF Court in such way that the prisoners
could not be tried upon them and an adjournment
had to be had to the present term.
The prisoners were brought Into Court this
afternoon and individually pleaded not guilty. As
the trial Is expected to be one OF unusual magni-
tude and interest Judge Beasley considered 1t bet
ter to hold a special term and fixed Monday the
2sth Of April, FOR the hearing OF the cases. 1t Is
not generally believed that conviction will be
secured, although Jersey juries do not believe,
when man Is murdered, that they have done their
duty TO the state except they are instrumental I'm
hanging somebody for the crime, whether innocent
or guilty.

Do you not feel quite proud OF the human race

such deeds, and reflect that we are but cultivated
monkeys. Our feeling So however, does not do much

FORE to suggest that subscription be taken up for
suitable testimonial Of our appreciation OF the
gaflantry and daring displayed by some OF the
officers and men Of the late steamship Atlantic in
their efforts to save lie on that fearful morning.

third officer: the boatswain, who lost in the
effort to carry a line ashore, and Quartermasters
Speakman and owens. or 10 such as may have done
their duty In trying to save somebody besides them
selves at the imminent peril of their own lives
While many OF the papers have severely criti-
csed the conduct OF poor Captain Williams nothing
has been done to show the public sense OF the gal
liant conduct OF those brave and true men.
No money could reward them for the perils en-
countered; but we NAV do something that Will
carry a thrill OF pride to their hearts and at the
same time incite Others TO emulate their deeds 1

Tweed, butcher and Could To he Arr
rested and Taken TO Albany-WheTc
Are They:
On Thursday night in the State Assembly, Mr.
Babcock, from the House Committee OF Investiga-
ton into the affairs OF the Erie Railway Company,
reported that the committee had made dilgent
efforts to secure the attendance of William NJ
Tweed, Jay Gould and John b. butcher as wit
nesses by the service Of subpGnacs, but that the
witnesses named had failed to appear. He there
fore offered resolution that the sergeant-at-
Arms be directed to proceed to New York and ar
rest Messrs. Tweed, Could and butcher, and bring
them before the bar OF the House, to show cause
why they should not be punished for contempt OF
its authority.
Arms arrived in this city yesterday in the fultment
OF his instructions, but up to late hour had failed
to find either OF the objects o, his quest. Ii was no
wonder the Sergeant-at-Arms could not find them,
for the reporters who are by long odds the best
detectives in the city, could not learn anything as
TO the Whereabouts OF any one OF the gentlemen
MIR. Gould was said to be at Newport, attending to
matters in connection with the Summer business
AFFAIRS OF the Narraganset line OF steamers, and
MIR. butcher was said to be almost anywhere, per-
haps in Albany.
HERALD reporter called at the ONCE Of Mr..
Tweed, In Duane street. but the eX-'Bossn was
absent, and his private secretary, MI. Dewey,
stated that he did not think 1t probable that Mr..
Tweed would be at his Office during the day. mas
much as 1t was Good Friday, and he thought Mr..
Tweed was at church, but that any one who desired
urgently TO ma nm could doubtless do SO ut one
worship. Mr.. Dewey stated further that no
summons from the House had yet reached
Mr.. Tweed, and he was not aware that
his presence as witness was desired. Mr.. Tweed
had been in the city during almost the entire
time OF the sessions of the committee and they
would have had no difficulty in finding him had
they desired to do so. SO far as Mr.. Tweed was
concerned he had always expressed the utmost
Willingness amounting almost to anxiety, TO ap-
pear before the committee and to give them all the
information in his possession, and, so far IA Mr.
Dewey knew, the Sergeant-at-Ar Arms had not called
at the Office to inquire for Mr.. Tweed.
This was the general state OF affairs last night.
and the impression prevailed that the suInmonses
had not yet reached the gentlemen whose presence
was so ardently desired.

interviews with the Officers of the
Guarantee and Indemnity Company
and the Trust and Loan Company.
There were many rumors prevalent in the cor
rdors OF the Courts and about the streets yester-
day in regard to the charges OF usury brought
against the bankers and brokers OF Wall street
and vicinity There were, 1t was sad charges
presented to the Grand Jury, especially against
two moneyed corporations having large business
connections on the street, and 1t was supposed
test would be offered to the Court in action
against these companies. The institutions with
which Dame Rumor most busted herself we're the
New York Guarantee and Indemnity Company and
the New York Loan and Trust Company. Con-
corning these corporations 1t was said their Char
tiers gave them the right to exact whatever sum
they could make terms for in the way OF compen-
sation for accommodating parties under pressure
with short loans. AS the rate on the street Is
some times so high as one per cent per day
THREE HUNDRED AND sfXTY-F1vE PER CENT PER
ANNUM,
and the legal rate Is only seven per cent per an
mum, while exactions OF five or ten per cent
additional are regarded with horror it was thought
such there be. Sr,h at least were the Impressions
prevalent upon the street Yesterday afternoon.
TO ascertain exactly what foundation these ruinors
and Impressions rested upon representative OF
the HERALD yesterday called upon. the officers of
the two companies above referred to and elected
the following statements From the President aud
Secretary Of
THE GUARANTEE AND INDEMNITY COMPANY
he learned that their charter gave them legal right
to exact only seven per cent per AMMAN as interest
but allowed them to charge very considerable lees
additional under the form OF crates for the custody
OF securities on when loans were advanced. The
officers claimed that they had as yet heard only
the vagucst possible rumors in regard to the &c.
ton OF the Grand jury and that while they had
nothing to conceal and were willing to produce an
exhibit or their business, with their books In court
they did not choose TO make voluntary statement
of their private matters for publication. The Pre-.
sident added that they had been advised
by their counsel OF their powers aud llabi
ties under their charter and had transacted
all OF their business under the endorsement Of
a vote OF the lull board Of directors The Secre
tary stated further that while brokers the street
gave no security for the salekeeping OF bonds and
other securities received as coilatterals on loans,
the company gave guarantees for the return OF all
property placed in their hands, subject 10 the
CERTAIN CONDITIONS
on which II was received.
The President OF the New York Loan and Trust
Company, Mr.. Smytle, Is Ill at his residence. and
the Secretary was not at the Office when the
HERALD representative called. In the absence OF
these gentlemen the chief clerk politely declined to
make any statement regarding their business.
