WASHINGTON.
Teller Committee.

WASHINGTON, February l2.-The Tel
Ter Committee to-day examined General
Reuben Z. Davis, OF Mississippi, and
among the auditors were Senator Bruce
and Representatives Muldrew, Hooker
Chalmers and Money, of that State.
General Davis testified that he was a
candidate for Congress at the late cleo
ton, from the First district. He had
been informed privately of threats to
prevent him from being heard. The
idea prevailed that he was endeavoring
to reorganize the negroes In opposition
to the Democrats. After the election he
heard that he had been hung in etfigy
and then burned. He was Greenback
candidate, having been nominated by
that party in opposition to his own
wishes, and was voted for by the col
ored people, who understood their in
terest in that question. He was at first
informed that he had been elected, but
was afterward told that Muldoon was
the successful Senator.
Mr.. Garland, of the committee, asked
the witness il he did not once make a
speech in Congress about hanging a
Northern man?
Witness replied that lie did, in
December, 1859. 1t was during
consideration OF the election case. In
that speech he arraigned the Republl-
cans as rebels and said that If Seward
would come South and utter such SEN
timents as he entertained and had ire
quently expressed, he witness thought
the people would hang him before he
returned North. The witness added,
was kicked out of the Democratic parry
when a boy in 1885, have since been
kicked out on the currency question and
am now out OF the party by force.
