THE DANEILLE REPORT.

The majority report OF the Senate Com
mittee on Privileges and Elections on the
Danville disturbance was laid before the
Senate yesterday. Its preparation was in
trusted to Senator Lapham who has been
engaged upon it for some time, and, in adj
diton to its author is signed by Sherman,
Hoar and Cameron. Mr. Vance will submit
a minority report within IL few days.
AS usual III such cases, the report assumes
that all the republican witnesscs-iu this
case principally negroes and federal Office
holders-toid the truth and all the demo-
cratic witnesses told lies. The democrats
are charged with having excited and inten
sifed the race issue. The efforts in this
direction at Danville arc detailed. Clubs
were formed and resolutions were passed in
two or three wards Withdrawing support
and patronage from coalitionists, both white
and colorcd. The Danvillc circular Squoted
and pronounced false presentation of the
state of things at Danvile.
The committee relates the experience Of
Colonel Sims and the events of the riot.
Respecting the latter it finds no evidence
that the negroes fired shot until after the
whites fired the general volley, and that
very few had weapons of any kind. The ne
groes were ofall ages and both sexes, gathered
unquestionahly from curiosity. The whites,
on the contrary, were generally armed. The
fire bell was rung, but not for IA fire. On
the contrary, it was il secret signal for the
white military company. The whites came
rapidly from all directions and arms were
distributed among those who had none from
the shops and stores.
The committee finds conclusive evidence
that the violence was prcmeditated and
makes copious extracts from The evidence
Of several witnesses in proof
Under The sub heading Glow the Demo-
Gratis Made Use Of The Occurrences at Dan.
vlle," this report says that in almost every
part of the State exaggerated reports of the
massacre were circulated by kilograms and
printed circulars. Circulars and extracts
from the testimony of many witnesses are
given showing the sympathy which was
aroused by the supposed danger of the white
people Of Danville.
The report severely condemns the action
of the authorities in Danvlle in so far as
they are democratic. 1t says no one has
been arrested, indicted, tried or punished
for the crimes committed on the 81 OF
November.

COUPON CAsEs.-In the Circuit Court OF
Richmond yesterday, in the cases of Faure
against the State, and Dashiell against the
Board of Sinking Fund Commissioners,
Judge Wexford, decided in favor of the
State In the case of Faure the purpose of
the suit was to force the State to fund in
Riddleberger bonds coupons matured since
July lst, 1882, when detached from the old
bonds, and the plaintiff asked that the case
might be transferred to the United States
Court. The object Of the other suit was to
require the Sinking Fund Board to receive
unmatured coupons.

A BAD STATE OF ATFAIRs.--A writer in
the Cumberland Daily Ncrs, who recently
travelled by canal from GEORGETOWN through
Montgomery, Frederick, Washington and
Allegany counties, gives Il gloomy picture Of
affairs on the route. He says: now found
nothing butidlcness loom and dependency
Employees Of the canal are in want for the
bare necessares Of life: being nearly one
year in arrears for wages from the canal
company, storekecpers all along the line are
unable 10 rcpleni-h their stocks, having
credited out i'm some cases their all to feed
such employees on promises Ia pay from the
canal company, and in expectation that the
canal would carry its usual percentage Of
coal for eastern markets. At Point Of
Rocks, Weverton, Knoxville, Harpcr's Fer
ry, Shephertlstown, Sharpsburg and other
intermediate points boats are tied up all
along. AT Willamsport the canal is virtu-
ally blocked with empty boats pastures OH
every side are eaten up by the idle mules,
the owneIs have nothing OF their own TO
feed them with boat yards all standing idle !;
farmers formerly dependent on canals rs a
market for their produce and being too far
from railroads to find other markets, are suf-
fering with other dependents on the canal.
At Hancock this same deslitlltion exists, if
possible, to q greater extent. Cumberland,
the shipping point, with population Of 49,
900 people, TO great extent dependent on
the canal for their exist cncc is suffering in
the extreme. Merchants doing little or no
business; boat-yards, seven in number,
where hundreds of men were employed, are
doing nothing"

SUIT FOR DAMAGES In the Circuit Court
at Charlottesville last week the case Of
Barksdale's administrator VS.. The Virginia
Midland railroad was on trial, and excited
considerable interest. In January, 1883,
Orlando B. Barksdae was crossing the
trestle near Bethel station at night and was
run over and killed by the Louisville ex-
press. He was in company with Mr. Ed.
Gilbert, who was thrown from the trestle by
Barksdale. In the effort to save his friend
Mr.. Barksdale sacrificed himself The adj
ministrator brought an action for damages,
fixing the sum at $4,000. jeff R. Taylor,
esq, assisted by Messrs. Duke & Duke, rep
resented the plaintiff, and the road is repre-
scented by c. A. Blackford, of Lynchburg;
General W. H. Payne, of Warrenton, and
Colonel Coghill, of Amherst. The case was
given to the jury about o'clock Saturday
night but they failed to agree, and were
DISCHARGED

?Ay,ii'iiss and Surgeon.

DR.. Hendrick is as we'll educated, as wel read
in medicine, as well prepared for bis profess
sion, has as good success, and has as good a
practice, as any other physician in the county,
No other is more widely or more generally ac-
cepted. Nor is there any other who Is better
TO be depended upon in the worst and most
difficult cases. He is the quickest and surest
in breaking up a fever. lie is the SAFEST,
for he neither kills nor INJURIES any by over
dosing them, and be has saved large number
whom other physicians were losing. Hes the
best midwife. He is also the best in
the treatment OF female complaints, liver,
lung, and kidney diseases, and piles. There
are numerous incidents on every hand which
stapd as incontroyertible facts. And when
you call upon him you do not have to pay SOC.
or more FOR a prescription and then go to
drug store and buy your medicine. You can
save tn price OF the prescription every time
and get what will answer the purpose better.
II is not necessary that you should pay so
much for small piece OF paper with some
from book. The most ridiculous thing in
medicine is young practitioner asking such
prices simply for prescription for older mems
brains. You want to get your medicines OF one
who keeps his own medicines on hand and who
knows by actual test what they are, then you
obtain them at better rates, and can with more
certainty depend upon them. You always find
