New stage Line.

Dispatches from Spokane Falls,
Washington Territory, state that up
on report Of competent engineers just
returned from the survey of different
routes to the Coeur d'Alene mines,
who pronounce that from the falls the
most practicable, the citizens have re-
solved to establish stage and fast
freight lines to the mines. A COM
pany was Immediately formed, and
capital stock amounting to $4,000
subscribed upon the spot. A daily
line of six-horse stages carrying ex-
press and mail, and a fast freight
line, will be put on Immediately.
Daily arrivals for the mines are very
large, and indications were that be-
fore the end Of the month three sta
ges daily would be required.

Ten years ago a law was enacted
in Massachusetts, providing that when
a person is acquitted of murder or
manslaughter on the ground OF in
sanity, he must, regardless Of MS con-
dition at the time of his acquittal, be
committed to one of the lunatic hos
pitals for life. Since then there have
been only four acquittals on the IN
sanity plea, although there have been
nearly one hundred persons indicted
for murder in the state. The four
persons acquitted are now In oonhne-
ment and will die there.

George jeffrey. OF River Head,
Long Island, indicted with his wife
Tor the murder of the child of the lat
Ter by her former husband, makes the
statement that he killed the child by
holding its body between his knees
and twisting the child's head one way
until he thought he had broken its
neck, and twisting its head the other
way to make sure he had killed it.
'eilrey contemplated killing the child
lor long time, and thought he could
10 so by continued cruelties and not
oe held guilty of any crime. Failing,
he at last broke its neck. He hated
the child because he was not its ia
'ner, and its existence interfered more
Ut less with his wife's earning money
LOT HIM. He had no other motive for
TIE crime. Being informed of her
husbands confession, Mrs. Jeffrey be-
came very light-hearted. She said
she was present when he killed her
'nild. She made no resistance be-
cause she could have no comfort in
life while it lived.

Utah's Governor.

1t appears that the Governor Of
Utah, who wants the elective fran
chise abolished in the Territory, and
/ full control of the law-making power
given to himself and few associates,
| to be appointed by the President, has
not as clean skirts as would warrant
Congress in making him Autocrat of
Utah. A Washington dispatch says
/ the House Committee on Expendi

has been furnished by the Attorney
General with copies of papers on file

tions made of charges preferred
against E. 7. Murray, now Governor
|of Utah, who was United States Mar
|shal for the District of Kentucky from
April s, 1869, to October 4, 1876. The
substance of the charges against Muir
ray was that he had conspired with
his Deputy Marshals to defraud the
lGovernment by charging in his emol-
Eument returns for services not per-
formed, for mileage not earned, for
E''per diems" paid for services not rem
dered, for the same persons placed on

other minor offenses. He was also
charged with being a party to vexa-

..g GENERAL JABEZ w. FITCH finally
breathed his last on Saturday. His
death has been hourly expected for
two or three days, and occasioned no
surprise when it came. The deceased
was sixty-one years of age. He had in
his day been conspicuous in the poll
b tics of Northern Ohio, of which dis
trict President Pierce made him u nited
States Marshal. He prepared himself
for the law, and practiced in this city.
At one time General Fitch was Chief
of the Fire Department. Politically
he was a local power in his party for
years, being IL forcible speaker and an
energetic and influential worker. His
fine social qualities made him a gener-

In O recent speech delivered by Don

rendered him by number of his
neighbors, aided by the Oak Ridge
Brass Band, he said:
All that we buy, from horse

that we build for shelter, all that we
use over and above our products, from

fin we rot in-the clothes we wear, the

glass we look through, the blanket we
sleep under, to the tombstone that re-
cords our supposed virtues. are aug

so that we sell under free trade and
buy under protection. Now do you
wonder that we work at n disadvan-

thing, we want it; il free trade il such
an evil, we don't want il and yet we
have the one and not the other we

THE DANVILLE RIOT.


4 Screechers.
General w. G. Wickham, member
of the Virginia Senate, was examined
before Sherman's Outrage Committee
on Friday, and this is the telegraph
report of his testimony:
Since 1865 he has been Republican
and was so still. Since the negroes
had acquired the right of suffrage there
had been no unjust discrimination
against them by the laws of Virginia.
Witness thought there had been 10
unlawful combinations against the
colored people, nor had they been
threatened with discharge, as far as he
knew, for not voting as their employ
ers wished. During the cross-exami-
nation by Senator Sherman, witness
said that at the time he Joined the Re-
publican party the mass of the white
people of Virginia were unquestiona-
bly, Democrats, and the Republican
party was then in political sense con-
sidered the friend of the negro. 1t was
natural that the colored people should
join the Republican party. When the
Readjuster party was organized the
Republicans were divided. Witness
opposed "the repudiation of the debt"
Witness was invited to become can
didate against the coalition party, on
the ground that from his known posi-
ton as Republican, he would carry
portion of the Republican vote.
"Is there not a strong instructive
feeling among the colored people that
their rights are not safe with the Dem
ocratic party?"
81 think that is fact, and think
it is proper, Mr.. Sherman, that should
say that it is fact brought about by
the false teachings of designing men
It is more a feeling that the Republi-
cans are more liberal to them than the
Democrats would be-"
"Now, don't you think that if the
Democratic party would convince the
colored people that their rights wou1e
be secure under the control and man
Iagement of the Democrats, that they
would divide the colored vote ?"
!, "If that could be contrived. Blu
it would be most difficult thing in
, party of men who want them to vot,
solidly, in one way, telling them al
/ that the Democrats would oppres
them"
"Why should not the Democrat
then vote with the Republicans,
: there is no issue of that kind ?'
. Why should they not break dow
D the color line?"
"Yes: and vote with the Republi
cans and divide up themselves ?"
eff you will allow me to go back,
will tell you that it is just what l hav
been working for since 1865. 1t ha
been the desire of my life to divide tn
white people, and have the politics
parties composed of both. 1t woul

More FamIiiarIy known as s'Chi
nese G9rdOm.s,

Over in the Soudan, in khartoum,
on the White Nile, this famous general
is now threatened with annihilatioH.
AS the special agent of the British
Government General Gordon was dis
patched up the Nile Oh n mission of
Cancellation and reinsurance to the
Soudanese, and for short time after
his arrival in Khartoum and the issu
ance of two remarkable proclamations
declaring that the rights of the natives
would be protected and the slave trade
again allowed, it seemed to the world
that General Gordon, with handful
of men armed with the diplomacy of
peace offerings, would prove a con-
quering hero against the army and
cause of the false prophet, Ell Mhadi.
But reaction occurred and today the
situation is of the most alarming char
acter for the personal safety of General
Gordon. Even while this article is in
type the news may be flashed across
the Continent that Khartoum has fal-
len and with it brave "Chinese Cor
dom"
General Gordon was the youngest
sou of the late Lieut.. Gen. III. w. Gor
don, r. A. After receiving military
education at Woolwich Academy he
served in the Crimean war with great
credit. In 1850 he visited China and
by bold and dashing, yet judicious
support Of the Chinese Emperor in the
TAPPING Campaign he earned great
honor and credit from both the British
and Chinese government, and hence
forth was known as Chinese Gordon.
His reputation has grown world wide.
The late Khedive of Egypt, Ismail
Pasha, called General Gordon to his
aid in abolishing the infamous slave
trade and strengthening his decreasing
power. After a labor of five years on
the White Nile, in Darfour aud Car
dovan, he had partly accomplished
| his mission aud returned to London,
as the present Khedive, Tewfik Pasha,
was not favorably disposed to him.
The present Egyptian complications
induced Gladstone to again send Gen
eraf Gordon into that country as con.
ciliatOr. His loss would be calamity
to his government. He is at pcesent
fifty four years of age.
