PrrrsBURG, October Sl.-The grand jury

Gov. Hartranft, Adjtant General Latta,
General Branton and others to testify in the
case OF General Pearson, charged with muir
der. All the above named having been
summoned as private citizens, responded,
except Gov. IIartranft, who sent a letter to
the Court giving his reasons in which he
says:

perhaps an extreme regard for the dignity
and independence Of the executive might
justify the assumption that the decision of
the propriety of recognizing the authority

breast of the executive. Ii is presumed
that the court equally, with the Governor,
was desirous Of preserving the

government, and would leave the case TO

sion in that issue, have refused to recog-
nise the said subpoena, as the question will
be used by my action alone. The officers
connected with the executive department
will answer the subpoena to testify in said
case to the facts which came within their
observation as private citizens, as to their
knowledge of the matters connected with
THEIR OFFICIAL DUTIES
on the action Of the branch Of the govern
ment 10 which they belong. They cannot
be compelled to testify any more than the
executive himself, when summoned in their
official capacity. The civil and military
officers of the department were instructed
not to obey, but As they have been now
summoned in their private capacity,

cation, it is believed that no injury to the

rights or interests Of the commonwealth,
