A BRAVE REVENUE OFFIoER.-Jarves w.
Davis, deputy collector of internal revenue in
the fifth district of Tennessee, who was late
ly assassinated by moonshiners, was one of
the most remarkable and valued men in the
service. A faithful record of his life would
be as startling in incident and perilous adven-
ture as any in the annals Of fiction. Between
10 and 20 violators of the law have lost their
lives by his hand, all of whom were either re-
sisting the execution of the law or attacking
him with murderous intent. He was three
times tried in the state courts Tor homicide
Twice he was acquitted on the ground of self
defense, and one case carried up to the su-
preme court of the United States, secured the
important decision affirming the right of rev.
enue officers to defend their lives against
bushwhackers, and, if homicide should fol-
low, to be tried in the United States courts
Davis was splendid specimen of physical
manhood, six feet three inches tall, well pro-
portioned and muscular. He was uneducated
could neither read nor write-but was O
clever and direct talker He was not trough"
in any sense. He used neither Intoxicating
liquors nor tobacco in any form, and never
INDUCED in profanity. He knew his duty,
and did it with q skill and fearlessness that
have seldom been matched in like service. At
16 years of age he undertook to rid his coun-
ty of gang of horse thieves and despera-
does, which had become a terror and baffled
every effort of the authorities. Within three
years he, with the assistance Of brother,
succeeded in landing every one of them in
the panitentiary, except one who was shot.
He was appointed deputy United States mar
shal, and subsequently, special deputy collec-
tor of internal revenue. Twice, companions
walking by his side were killed by shots in
tended for him. A little over year ago he
was set upon from behind, felled with an AK,
shot through the thigh, and left for dead He
crawled to a fodder stack, where he lay all
night, and the next day crawled mile and a
half TO shelter. Commissioner Raum ordered
him to Washington, where he was treated by
DIR. Bliss. Recovering strength in a few
weeks, he returned to duty, and very soon
came the news that he had mortally wounded
a moonshiner resisting arrest. He harbored
no personal malice against those with whom
duty brought him in conflict One man whom
he had wounded before capturing, he sent to
his own house, and his wife nursed him until
| he recovered Later the same man tried TO
assassinate Davis, but failed, and became so
enamored of his dauntless bravery that no
| gave up his illicit business and became Davis
faithful assistant. At the age of 33 Davis has
been assassinated by ambushed law-breakers,
| leaving a destitute wife and children. Com
missioner Raum offers $500 for the arrest of
each of the gang of murderers, and authoriz-
ed an expenditure of $500 to discover them.
Davis story is a sample of the life and fate OF
class of revenue officers in the South.

incident of the flood; "a certain boat COM

Special telegraphic dispatches from
Washington to several newspapers have
conveyed the announcement that the
President proposed to recall Minister
Lowell from Great Britain, and that he
had already considered the name Of ex-
Attorney General Taft as that of his sue
cessor. The report has been denied at
the White House, and friends of the
President say that not only is there no
intention of recalling Mr.. Lowell, but
that no reason for recalling him has sug-
gested itself to the administration. So far
as can he learned, the only foundation for
the report was the desire Of some Ohio
politicians to see Mr.. Taft provided with
a comfortable place, the recent talk
about the treatment of the suspected
Irish-Americans furnishing a ground for
the suggestion that dissatisfaction exists,
and that a new man must be procured to
represent faithfully the views Of the
President and his Cabinet. From a
trustworthy source it is learned that in
Cabinet councils there has been no criti-
cism upon Mr.. LowelPs course in re-
gard to imprisoned alleged American
citizens, but, on the contrary, that his
good judgment and sense in the treat
ment of the delicate matter have ELECTED
commentator.

We see from the New York CONNER.
cial Bulletin that the tide of immigration,
phenomenal as it is at Castle Garden, is
even more so at Chicago. where human
stream, so to speak, coming down the
St. Lawrence, unites with the great
movement from New York and other
Atlantic ports. The emigration both
from Canada and England to the North
west and Manitoba is now getting
so heavy that the railroad com.
panies find it difficult to pro-
vide adequate accommodations Re-
Gently fifteen car loads came over
the Michigan Central. nearly all of
whom are destined for the North and
Northwest. The Lake Shore also brought
in fifteen car loads, most of whom go TO
the same points. One thousand emf
grants from England arrived at Portland,
Maine, a day or two ago by the Allan
steamer "Parisian," all destined for
Manitoba. The agent of the Beaver line
of steamers states that he has made con-
tracts for the transportation of about
1000 from England, all of whom will
settle in that territory.

1t seems that the colored preacher who
was elected recently from a railroad
train between Jacksonville and Fernan-
dina, Florida, because he preferred the
company of white people TO those of his
own race, and refused to sit in the car
specially provided for colored passen-
gers, was Bishop Payne. Yesterday a
delegation consisting of Fred Douglass,
Bishop Brown and others, interviewed
United States Attorney General Brewster,
and complained that this was fragrant
violatian OF the civil rights bill, and
claimed that the elected Bishop had a
frstclas ticket, and was therefore
entitled to ride with white folks.
Brewster promised to give the
subject his attention, but if the story of
the conductor of the train, who is pro-
nounced a perfectly reliable man, is
correct, the Bishop viii have no case.
1t seems that the offended prelate had
only half rate ticket, and there was an
excursion car attached to the train espe-
cially for the holders of such tickets.
All that the conductor demanded, there
fore, was that the Bishop should take
the car called for by his ticket or leave
the train, and of his own motion he de-
termined to leave This is rather differ
ent from Fred Douglass version of the
affair.

A telegram from the Indian nation
represents considerable excitement in
the Choetaw and Chickasaw nations,
growing out Of the bill before Congress
ratifYing the act of the General Council
Of the Choctaw nation granting to the
St. Louis and San Francisco Railroad
the right Of way for railroad and tele-
graph line through the nation. The In
dams claim that the original bill was
never passed by the Choctaw Council,
and that the bill now before the Senate
is a measure which violates every treaty
and leaves them without resort or with
out hope. The Indians hope that the
new Secretary, Teller, viii use his best
efforts to protect their interests.

The star route thieves have heretofore

knew they could never be convicted.
Since the decision of Judge Wylie, how
ever, overriding the motion to quash the

The rage for Congressional commits
sions seems destined to know no limits.
The last effort in this line is to create a
commission of five colored men to in
quire into and report upon the material,
intellectual and industrial progress of
the colored people Of the United States
since the war. A bill to this effect has
been introduced by Mr.. Ilawley in the
Senate. 1t appropriates $4,000 for the
salaries Of the commissioners, and there
are several of the smart colored poIiti-
clans already in Washington laying
their wires to get place on the embryo
commission. Several impecunious ex-
members, to whom $1,000 would be a
godsend. think it is wrong that the per-
sonnet Of the commission should De

Judge Baxter, Of Ohio, has decided
that railroad can make no reduction in
freight 70 large shippers. Small shippers
have two remedies. To compel the road
to give them its lowest figures, or to pay
the higher charge and sue for q recovery
Of the difference. The universal custom
Of trade TO make a difference between
wholesale and retail customers does not
hold good in the case Of railroads.
