A HARD CASE.
Statement of q. 8. Jurors-A Matter
that Demands Investigation.
FIRM. Favsttevills News, Jan. 3d.

From Faysttevills News, Jan. 3D.
We publish below statement from
several Of the jurors lately in attendance
on tho United States Court at Fort Smith,
which sufficiently explains itself. The
cause of their complaint demands imme
ditc investigation. as there is prevalent
belief in many quarters that there is
something rotten in the Marshals office,
which a thoroughly overhauling would
reveal. There is an impression abroad
that the whole court might be investigat
ed with great advantage to the cause OF
Justice and honesty. We trust our con-
crcssmen will have this matter brought
to the attention of the authorities al
Washington, rs it is one in which every
citizen Of the State can but feel an inter-
est;
FoRr SMITH, Ark Dec 90, 1873.
We. the undersigned, petit jurors, who
have been in attendance rs such al the
November Term, a Il. 1873. of the Dis
trio; Court of the United States for the
Western District ot Arkansas, and this
day discharged from further service,
state.
That. after receiving our certificates
from the clerk. we applied to the United
States Marshal, at his office. for the pay
ment of the amount due us, and were in
formed that there was no money on hand
to pay us We signed the pay roll, and
our certificates were endorsed by the
Marshal that a certain amount was due.
Many of MS live in distant parts Of the
district, and were indebted for our board
while attending court and need money to
pay it and for our necessary travelling OK.
penses to our respective homes In or
der To raise the necessary means for the
above purposes, we have TO sell our
vouchers and to our utter Inconvenience
we fad that the value OF our vouchers is
oply seventy cents on the dollar. and We
have sold at that value to the National
Bank Of Western Arkansas.
At the commencement OF the term the
Judge informed the jury, and others in
attendance on the court, that the Marsha
would have the funds in II few days to
pay all expenses; and if the funds were
not received he would discharge us and
adjourn the court. A short time after.
ward it was reported that the Marshal
had received twenty thousand dollars and
we fully expected on being discharged
we would receive our pay in cash, and
not in vouchers worth but seventy cents
on the dollar
We make this statement as protest
against the injustice which has been done
~, We have not received the amount in
money which is due US by law for our
services, and the difference goes to en-
rich :hc speculator.
We demand in justice to ourselves and
others who may hereafter be required to
obey the process Of the court and serve
a. Juror or witness, and for the honor OF
the government, that the abuses may be
investigated and corrected.

BLACKMAIL IN THE INDIAN TERRITORY.

BLACXMAIL IN THE INDIAN TERRITORY.
The charges which the Chcrokecs
make against Marshal Sarber Of the
Western District Of Arkansas certainly
ought to secure the IMMEDIATE attention
of Congress. In addition to the facts
lelegraphed last night it is now further
charged that Sarber and his deputies arc
in the habit Of blackmaimg the Indians
by means Of threats Of prosecutions for
violation Of the liquor law. 1t is alleged
that the deputies have been known to
snrrcptitiously deposit asmal quantity
of liquor in store and then another par.
ty would come along, institute search
and having found the liquor, compro.
mise with the victim, ir consideration of
the payment Of round sum. Col Adair
Of the Cherokee delegation here says he
is ready to back up these charges with
the proofs. il Congress will give him a
chance, IT is no wonlcr The Indians
want rs little as possible to do with the
whites when their impressions OF the
white race arc drawn from the officials in
the Western jud listric, Of Arkansas.
