The Jury Commissioner and the
Jury Clerk explain the system Of
drawing Jurors and their part of the
duties of the Office under the law.
That's all we were trying to say or con-
vey. They refer to the article in THE
HERALD, in which preference is
made to a charge against Marshal
White for picking Republican Ju-
rors.'" That charge was not made
by THE HERALD but by the Martins
burg Statesman and Morgan Ne,Cs, and
that charge we were endeavoring to
correct, knowing that the Marshal
had nothing to do with the selecting
of the Jurors, and that in several in
stances Democratic attaches of the
Court pointed out to him good men
for Jurors, acknowledgements, and he
selected them, therefore he could not
be charged with selecting all Republi-
can Jurors. What we can't under
stand is that there is so much touchi-
ness about Democratic misapprehen-
sions, but republicans are expected to
shoulder every reflection and rest
content.
But we fail to see where we made
any great mistake except in not draw
ing the line between one jury commits.
sioner and his clerk. The statement
was made at the suggestion of a re-
sponsible Court Officer, who was I'M
willing that the impression given out
by the Democratic papers of picking
and packing the jury should rest on
Marshal White, when he had nothing
to do with it. and but performed his
duty as faithfully as any of the Off
GERS. The assertion that the jury ire

jury Commissioners commissioner
and clerk is correct, and that the
majority of them by all reports were
Democrats remains the same, and the
proper rules of grammar were observ-
ed to show any intelligent reader that
the last clause was separate from the
first, and didn't mean that the draw
ing had anything to do with the poll.
teal complexion of the jury as the law
allows no distinction and we were but
giving private opinion, to which we
had as much right as the Democratic
papers had to theirs to the contrary.
But we are sorry that we unintention-

In the year of 1863, just after the
extension of the line of the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad to the Ohio river,
Coils. Jas. Forsythe and VIM. Shriv-
er, two veteran lovers of Walton's
"gentle art" then residing in Wheel
ing, w. Va, took from the waters of
Fishing Creek, near Parkersburg,
some twenty fine specimens of black
bass to Wheeling by steamer. AT
Wheeling they were placed in the
water tank or tender of locomotive
and therein were conveyed over the
mountains to Harper's Ferry, where
they were dumped into the Potomac
as fresh, hearty and lively as the hour
they were taken from their native
stream. And from them have de.
scended the thousands of bass which
have since been taken from the Peto.
mac and tributary waters.
