Especial Dispatch TO the Press.l
WARRINGTON, Jan. THE revival OF
the agitation of proposed resolution Of
inquiry into the circumstances attending
the election Of President Hayes has again
excited comment here. Mr.. Chandler,
before leaving here, stated that he antici-
pated no other effect of such a resolution
than to ascertain the truth of certain
allegations which were made pending the
deliberations of the commission. The
President, to those near to him, states
that he has no apprehension of any results
attending such an investigation which
would affect him that so far as any bar
gains are concerned, he authorized moth
ing Of the kind ; that his election was by
Republican votes, and that he had nc
intention of failing in his duty to those
who placed him in office. The Republi-
can leaders now returning here are bent
upon determined work. The contest
will be more bitter than ever, and has
reached that point where reconciliation
will be impossible short of absolute sur.
render on one side or the other.

A DkLAWAREAN's REVENGE
HOW HE GOT EVEN WITH BLACK
HILLS SAVAGE.

The Leaves Light publishes an i'm
probable story about a Delawarean named
Roberts, who visited the Black Hill's.
last April, and was robbed BY some
Indians near Deadwood, one of whom
hit him In the mouth with a tomahawk, !,
knocking out several teeth.
Several months afterwards, as Roberts
was at n mining camp. an Indian came
in TO trade some venison whom Roberts
recognized an the one who had depri we'd
him or his teeth, whsreupon he deter.
mined to have revenge.
The Indian was staked down on the
grass as q first move. He recognized
Roberts, and realizing that the hour of
reckoning had come, he whined like a
dog He offered rifle, knife, and all else
to settle the dentistry business, but the
miner couldn't have been bought off for
$4,000. When he got ready he went to
work with the red mans tomahawk, and
deliberately knocked out every tooth he
| could get at, and he didn't miss a great
many.
The Indian had no more grit tnan a
boy, but yelled like regiment of cavalry
going into a fight.
A tooth for tooth was not enough fol
Roberts, and he cody sliced off his vic.
tlms ear, working slowly and doing 9

UNCLE TOMS UABlN.

The presentation at the Grand Opera
House, last evening, OF Mr.. 4. B. PuRh,s
superb revival Of "Uncle Toms Cabin"
was witnessed by an audience that occu.
pied every seat and every foot OF stand
ing room In the hall. The performance
of the play proper was about the average
with an exceptional excellence in the
presentation of Little Eva by La Petite
Walton, who charmed the whole audi
ence by her sweet face and artless act
Ing. Harry Hawk, the commedian, who
has before appeared In this city, won
much applause by his happy presentation
of Ldicyer Marks, and George Kunkel re-
presented with fair degree of ability
the varied fortunes of Uncle Tom the
Topsv Of Miss Marie Bates was an lexcel-
lent creation.
But the chief attraction of the NAV.
and that which claimed most the atteT,.
ton fthe vast audience, was the presen-
tation Of genuine plantation scenes by a
horde OF genuine plantation negroes.--
They sang their wierd. camp meeting
melodies and their inspiring revival
hymns, while the twang CT the banjo and
the melodious "pat, pat" OF the "juber, y
added variety and additional attraction
TO the scene. The hoe down and the reel
were also danced with all the vigor that
characterized the antics of the Southern
negro In ante beifum days.
These performances were also atte sded
with hne scenic effects-the cotton plan
tation, the river, the race between the
Bdff,c and the Eclipse, and the arrival OF
the fiat hoat loaded with cotton being
faithfully portrayed. The songs of the
Jolly Colored Four" the banjo per
formances of Horace Weston, and the
dancing of little Master and Miss Shdell
were well worthy of special mention
The .oeing allegorical tableaux, repre-.
senting Little Eva in Heaven was qnite
