 WASHINGTON, March 4.-The Danville in- vestigation was resumed this morning. Sen ator Sherman said that Mr. Wise wished to make correction of his testimony or to make an additional statement. MT. Wise, taking the witness chair, said that while he did not wish to make any issue with the official reporter in regard to the language im- puted to him in connection with the visits of colored members of the Legislature to his house, still as general statement of his deal ings with members of the Legislature the report did him injustice. What he referred to was g particular instance of 8 person who had come to his house to see his mother and had called upon him to talk with him. He mentioned 1t not as reflection upon them in any sense, but to illustrate that that man in that position was less exacting than white person similarly situated would probably have been. Before he began his testimony he had asked the reporter to submit the notes to him for the insertion of tables, etc.
 Senator Sherman said that when MT. Wise first applied to him for leave to revise his statement, he (Mr. Sherman) told him that he thought he would be allowed the usual privilege accorded to members of Congress to revise his testimony. Mr. Wise said he would like to add one sentence more: "In So far as my testimony is sought to convey the impression that I made discrimination between coIored and white members of the Legislature, as 8 rule, in their communica- ton with me, it does them and me an injus- Eice. have always treated an official call upon me, by whomsoever made, without any discrimination whatever, and always expect to do so."
 J. J. Verser (white) was called. He was Deputy Collector of Internal Revenue. He said that about ten days or two weeks before the election he was passing store when Mir. Graves, the proprietor, stopped him, and began talking politics. He said they were going to carry the city and county. Graves said he was friend of the witness and wanted to give him piece of advice. He advised witness to stay pretty close to his room as there was going to be trouble and he didn't want to see him hurt. The next day R. H. Norfolk, a Democrat, stopped him and told him there was going to be trouble; that if witness remained in town he would surely be killed. Wolfolk advised
  brooks, on the night before election, told wit ness that the Democrats had made up their minds to carry the election, they "could not stand Malone and nigger rule any longer. :" After the election Westbreoks said to wit nese: "Jim, what I told you came true, but it came three days earlier than we expected" :" Witness saw armed Democrats at the polls on election day, and said that the colored men were afraid to go to the polls in conse- quence.
 Charles Wooding (coIored) was called. He met MT. Lea on Sunday night and was ad- vised by him to go home. Witness retorted that he had as good right to be on the street as any other man. Lea said that they (the Democrats) were going to carry the election anyway if they ''had to kill the last d--d nigger in the country"
 Walter Gay (mulatto) was called. He heard the speech of Sims and did not en- dorse it. He thought the circular could have been condemned in better way.
 After recess MT. J. H. Johnson, Mayor of Danville, was called. He described the per- sonnel of the city government and testified that he had 8 controversy with one of the magistrates named Hatcher, who jumped at him with knife, at which witness ''got the drop on him, and shot him dead" Witness heard Colonel Cable say that # the colored mil itia was ordered out i've will kill the last one of them" Witness was detailing some mat ters to which Governor Vance objected, the testimony being in regard to MT. Coleman, 8 Democrat. Senator Sherman in reply to Governor Vance's objection said he (Sher- man) thought the statement res gestGe. 'Oh, he ain't no Readjuster," interrupted the wit ness
