NEW JERSEY NEWS.
THE CARR-SWIFT INCIDENT.
GOVERNOR VOORHEES, SAYS THAT THE
CHARGES AGAINST FRANKLIN
MURPHY ARE UNTRUE.

The continued and persistent attacks upon Frank
lin Murphy charging him with duplicity in making
the nominations to the Governor of New-Jersey
of the members OF the Union County Board of
Elections, have had the effect of misleading many
Republicans who at first believed with the ma
jory of the party that these charges were utterly
without foundation. they We're. 1t ought 10 be
said that men in either the Republican Demo-
cratic party who knew Mr.. Murphy at all well
never believed he had forfeited the good repu
taton in business and politics which the
growth Of years of upright manhood and square
dealing by STOPPING to the smal-souled double
dealing with which he was charged.
But in order to set the matter at rest more than
to make a wholly unnecessary effort TO reinstate
AIr Murphy in the good graces Of the people of
New-Jersey Governor Voorhees,. the best au-
thority in the matter he having all the facts before
him. yesterday asked TO make a statement for
publication The charges explicitly made, were
that Franklin Murphy. the chairman of the Repub-
Hcan State committee in order TO promote his
prospects of securing the Republican nomination
for Governor. had sent Governor voorhees, the
names of c Addison Swift and William D. Carr
to fill one place on the Union County Board OF
Elections. In denying these charges. the Governor
said:

Elections for Union County. The letter Communi-
eating the nomination was received at the executive
office within the time required bv law. Mr. Sw!ft's
was the only nomination for the Office and there

The Blankenships were brothers, and it is said

after being shot, and Arthur is in a precarlous

The attempt OF the mob to gain possession
of the negro followed one of the swlftest anu

court officials were on the defensive to suppress
the rising anger Of the crowd as detail arteI

for the State There was no evidence for the
defence. As Brown said afterward in his con-
fession. there was nothing the witnesses he mad
summoned could say in his behalf.
The clash with the Sheriff came in half an
hour after Judge Pelham had pronounced the
sentence. BY a ruse the courtroom was cleared

half was surly. and seemed bent on mischief

a table and spoke, counselling peace He had
hardly addressed the assembly as his friends
and neighbors before he broke down in tears.
In concluding his appeal he said:
IF you have any respect for my feelings, II l

urge you as good citizens 10 go home and obey
the law and I Will never cease 10 thank you
from the bottom Of my heart"
After some difficulty the courtroom was
cleared Sheriff North thought 1t unwise to at
tempt to take Brown 10 the jail, a few blocks
away for the crowd rapidly increasing
around the front door Of The courthouse. Tween
ty-eight deputies armed with pistols and shot
guns were stationed in The front hall and al the
windows Of the courtroom.
The first sign of outbreak came When one
man from the outside, with pistol IN his mana,
started 10 mount the stairway. lie was IoI-

were exchanged, and the mob leaders retreated

A hard rain then began falling. The bodies
of the wounded were remove, and the crowd
scattered about In front Of the stores across the
street The officers took advantage Of this lulI
and spirited the negro away, in charge OF Two
special deputies. He was got safely aboaro

The crime for which Brown will hang was
committed on Nay 4, near SpringVille, within
quarter of a mile of the house OF the Gar
