WASHINGTON, MAY 3.-lnternal Revenue
Agent Tracie, who has been conducting

cent unsuccessful attempt TO capture The

has offered one hundred dollars reward
for Gillespie's arrest; but he says: rev

this notorious desperate. Since my raid
ON the 10th GilispIe and his crowd OF sup
norterS have committed shameful outrages
upon innocent colored people in that neigh
borbood. whom they charged with giving
information to the revenue officers. they
went In disguise, with faces backencd, ana
yhiDDed men and women; robbed one or
two of money; destroyed their property ;
drove them from their homes, some OF them
half naked, and formed thirteen OF them into
one marty on the road to West Virginia ana
ordered them to leave on penalty OF deatn II
they returned. These Outrages have not
disturbed in the sli, ,te.t degree the officials
of Franklin county. This revival OF ku-
kluyjsm by Illicit distiler5 and their friends
In the mountains Of Franklin has terrorlZed
Good citizens to such an extent that they
are afraid to even speak OF the outrages,
much less condemn them. There is no sucf

sion of the senate.

WAsHINGT0N, May 3. 1881.
The Nice-President laid before the Senate
as unfinished business resolution for the
election OF officers Of the Senate.
Mr.. Davis, Of West Virginia, then took
the floor with speech upon the debt ques-
ton between the Nirginias, promising his
remarks with an expression OF regret that
the speeches made by the Senators from
Virginia and Ohio (Mahone and Sherman)
should have compelled him to discuss in
this chamber what he considered TO be
purely local matter. The debt question in
| West Virginia had never been made POI
litical one. and he regretted that the Repub-
lcan senators should make statements re-
| fecting upon the action OF the Democrats
OF that State on that question.
! Little or nothing had been done looking
to the adjustment Of the debt question be.
tween Virginia and West Virginia until
1871. In the early part Of that gear the Lee
gislature OF West Virginia had upon his
motion agreed TO a resolution for the APP
pointment OF commission 10 treat uDou
that subject. Those commissioners had pro-
ceeded to Richmond, but had met nobody
with whom TO treat. Since that time no.
thing had been done, to the best Of his
know ledge, by either State officially with
reference to the veXed debt question.
In 1871 Virginia had passed what was
known a the funding BILL which haC
arbitrarily set aside two thirds OF the deb
Of the old State and one third TO the new
state. The Governors Of Virginia ha(
uniformly since the passage OF that act helC
that they bad no power 10 answer the calls
of West Virginia for the settlement OF thu
debt question.
The commissioners appointed by the STATE
Of West Virginia had reported the follow
ing facts: That nine tenthS OF the improve
ments for which the debt had been creatcC
bad been located within the State OF Nir
cinia: that Virginia had contained 4l,00
square miles, West Virginia but 10000
that at the time OF the separation Nirgini
contained a population OF 1,l22O 200, Yves
VIRGINIA. 374 COOLIES than one fourth
thai the taxable property In Virginia hat
amounted TO $4,000, 900. in West virginia L
but S647. 000-less than one sixth. In viey
of these facts, could il be cOntended tina
West Virginia was responsible for one thir
of the debt? Continuing, he said tina
while the whole debt OF the Nirginias wa
large, it was not very considerably less tba
twenty dollars per cdpit1, while the debt o
the United States was double that. He pre-
dicted that Virginia, with her present pros
perity, could and would pay her debt /
1.-The future. Both OF the Vrginias woul
nav their debts, and be regretted very niue
that his friend from Massachusetts, OIL
Dawes) should encourage party IN the oil
state that docs not want TO pay the debt {
all.
After short debate on the question {
the debt of the NirgiriaS, the Senate az
, journed till tomorrow.
