be made in writing to a justiee of the
peace on the oath or aifirmation of a
person competent to testify, charging
any person with the commission of a
misdemeanor, cognizable before a jus
tice oi me peace, he shall forthwith
issue a warrant for the arrest of such
person and shall cause him to be
brought before him for trial ; such
warrant shall be executed by the sher
iff or any constable of the county, or
in cases in which it shall be necessa
ry by any peison specially appointed
in writing by the justice for that pur

hour, unless he shall sooner be taken
from such custody by virtue of a war
rant issued on complaint under oath ;
but a person so arrested shall not be
conlined mjail, nor put upon trial,
until airested by virtue of such u war
rant. Si:c. 4. On the return of any war
rant issued by him, it shall be the du
ty of the justice, unless continuance

continuance, but said justice shall ver
bally notify Mich witnesses as either
party may require, to attend before
liiui to testify in the cause on the day

as valid as a summons.
Sec. S. lu all cases arising under
this act it shall be the duty of the jus
tice of the peace acting in the case, to

tachment if necessary.
Sec. 9. The charge made against
the defendant shall be distinctly read
to him aud he shall be required to
plead thereto, which plea the justice
shali enter on his docket, if the de
fendant refuse to, plead, the justice

guilty on his behalf.
Sec. 10. After the plea of the de
fendant has been entered, if lie plead
"not guilty," the defendant, or com
plainant, or the District Attorney, if
tie be present, may demand -a jury,
but if no jury be demanded' the cause
may be tried by the justice.
Sec. 11. If a jury be demanded the

name.
Si:c. 12. In case the defendant, or

shall neglect to strikeout such names,
the justice shall issue a summons, di
rected to the sheriff or any constable
of the couul3', requiring them to sum
mon tho six persons whose names
shall remain upon the list, to appear
beforesuch justice at a time and place

11
Sec 14. The summons shalLbcserv
ed personally upon the jurors and re
turned within tho time therein speci
fied, aud if any of the jurors named
in such summons shall fail to attend
in pursuance thereof, or if there shall
be any legal objection to any that
shall appear, the justice shall supply
the deficiency by directing the sher
ijf'or any constable who may be pres
ent or-dfsinteresteJ. to summon any

'be competent aud against whom no
cause of challenge shall appear to act
as jurors in tho cause. The justice

ses hi the district court
Sec 17. Wherever the defendant

this act and found guilty, either by
the justice cr jury, or Bhall euter a
plea of guilty, the court shall render
judgement thereon, assessing such
punishment, either by tine or impris

In the dlspelsTn, thirteen uv em wuz
accidentally killed ; and on ther way
home, the party did burn five cabins,
which lie understood wuz inhabited
by luggers.
B.y the Commishun' (wich wuz
me,) State how the accidental killin
took place.
Anser. The boys lied with em double-barreled
shot guns, .wich, by a
singular coincidenoe, happened to be
loaded with ball and buckshot. They
pintcd them guns in the direckskuii
n v tho niggers, ez. they wuz a runin
fiom the nieetin-hoiiso in wich they
v. uz assembled, and they went off.
We wuz surprised to see thirteen a
Inyin ther, shortly after the volley,
with the tops uv " ther heds hlowed
off.
Question by the Commishun (me.)
The buruin uv them five cabins
wuz accidental, wuz it?
Anser Not so much so. It wuz
did partly in a jocose sperit? and part
ly fnmi a sentiment uv pity. The
beds uv families wich dwelt in em
heel bin killed in the affair t;t the
meetin-house, and ez ther wuz no
body to take keer uv them houses but
winiuiin and children, it wuz consid
ered best that they be burned ; ami ez
the wimmin and children wood hev
a hard Lime uv it without houses, it
wuz considered humane to put em
out uv a cold, unfeelin world, and
they wuz akkordinly kuockt oir the
hed ez tiie torch wuz applied to ther
dwellius.
Question by the Commishun. Hev
yoo kiiowd uv any violence bein of
fered to auy other residents uv this
visinity?
Anser. None but wat wuz deemed
neasary to the safety uv the commu
nity. "A stuh-mason by tho name uv
Albrite come here from Iujiany, and
ez he took five Korlhurn papers, we
knowd he wuz a carpet-bagger wich
gloated over the misforchoons uv the
snnnv South. We warned him to
leave, but he utubluruly rafov-zed ;
whereupjn some uv the boys put on
masks one niie, aud took him out uv

put on masks aiid mountid their hors
es, and to perfect themselves, hed ta
ken sich rifles and shot-guns, and re
volvers, and nives, and axes, ez they
hed handy, and hed made it lively
fur the niggers up towards Garrett
towu, but uothiu more that. he knowd

Question by the Commishun. Hev
yoo bin aware uv any manifestation
uv a desire too yoose violence towarus
niggers oc Northern men ?
Auser. Ble.-s yoor sole, no. Last
Fall, three nigisers did attempt to
vote, afore Joe Bigler got to the polls,
and uv coarse we didn't stand that.
It wuz a insult to Suthern blood
wich we coodent eudoor, and they
wuz promptly knocked in the down.
One uv em hit back, and the three
immejitly pounded over the hed with
fence stakes. I beleeve one uv em
died on the spot, another in perhaps
half a hour, and tother in the after
noon ; but it wuz agreed that it
wuan'tr the poundin that killed em,
but the inflamashen that sot in after
ward. Amos Dibble, a Connecticut
Yankee, offered his vote at the same
elecshun, aud he wuz also pounded
with a hickory club, and ho likewise
died. It is possible that others wood
hev bin pounded similar, hed not Joe
Biglcr and Pollock come up jist at
that time.
Question by the Cotnmishun. To
wat do yoo ascribs- the blame for these
irregularities?
Auser. Ther cant be no doubt ez
to wher the blame ought to, rest. The
niggers hev got a insane ijee Into em,
that they arc reele citizens by vir
too uv the loth amendment, notwith-
stanuin tho met that every justw uv
thepeecoiu Kentucky he, declared
it unconstitooshnel, and conaekently
void and uv no effect. They b'leeve
they hev rites ez citizens', and they
won't be managed ez they' yoosed to
be. They insist on beiu paid fur la
ber, wich alluz irntates the Sutherh
mind ; aud they insist upon contin
ually insultin us by ofl'erin ther votes
wich ain't to be tolerated for a miult.
Ef they wood quietly permit us to
rool em ez we yoosc to, I ashoor yoo
ther wooden t be no trouble watever.
Ez to the Northerners, they are really
at the bottom uv the whole trouble.
They come down here and buy land,
and try to bild faetrys, and set the
niggers wild by hirin uv em, and
payin uvem, and they take incindi
nry periodicals, and do ther level best
to disorganize things generally, and
we can't hev no jie-ace so long ez the'
are permitted to be here. In all that
hez been done, our people hev simply
acted in self-defence.
Issaker Gavitt wuz eggsamined.
Didn't know wat all this fuss wuz
about. Hed helped skeer the niggers
he liked it. He wuz very fond uv
dressin hisself in a mask, and loadin
up his shot gun, and goin out with
the boys, and skeerin uv era. Hed
shot half a dozen uv era it wuz bet
ter sport than fox-huntic, eoz niggo-s
coodn't dodge into holes and jritoutf
uv yoor way, and foxes cood. He
kuowd uv uothin so-billable ez to see
a nigger sqirmin on tho ground, with
a charge uv buckshot into him, cep
tin one timo, when, the boys tarred
one uv em and sot the tar on lire.
Lord, how the cuss run, till tho burn
in tar used him up! Hed he bin a
able-bodied nigger he wood hev run
furder, and made mors amoozement
for us. Things wuz comin ton purty
pass, when "a Suthern gentleman
coodent amooze hisself without hevin
Fedralsoljers sent after him.
At this pint I closed tho inveatiga
sheii. It will be seen that the people uv
the Corners hev conductid themselves
ez iieer like law-abidin citizens ez
cood be expectid 'under the circum
stances. Ther hcz bin wat mite be
called violence, but it will be observ-
ed that in all cases it wuz either made
nessarv by the ackshen uv niggers
and Northernors, or wuz the bilin
over uv that exuberant humor uv
wich the Sutherners hev so great a
muchness uv. But In di?pte uv thi2
fact, wi.'h is evident aud palpable, I
sprue ther will be a company uv Fed

has made its naui synonymous with

lar oue in the Valley of .Mississippi is
favored with abundant patronage in
New York and other Atlantic Suites.
The rate of interest obtained on its
investments ; which last year attain
ed the unexampled average of 9 per
cent, aud the consequent magnitude
of its dividends, amounting in 1870 to
$336,272, drove a powerful attraction
even in the East; and our citizens
have contributed largely to swell the
ranks of its members, who now num
ber sixteen thousand, with an aggre
gate insurance exceeding fifty mil
lions dollars.
Nothing has contributed so much
to the high estimation and favor in
which the St. Louis Mutual Lifo is
held as the character of its officers
and agents, and the invariable promp
