THE DANVILLE RIOT.
One Witness Swears TWAS the Best of
Blood Letting.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE Danville in
vestigation was continued to-day. DR.. Vol
folk. physician of Orange county, Va, said
the colored Republicans, srraed with pistols,
prevented the negroes from voting the Dem
ocratic ticket
a. +. Fulkerson, Washington county, Va,
member of the forty-seventy congress, had
seen no violent demonstration on either side
in his county, He thought the DanviIle riot
had brought out larger vote, both white and
colored, than would have been otherwise
The readiusters had drawn the color line in
the election and he had insisted it be accept
ed by the Democrats, as, unless it was done,
there would be the solid negro vote and the
divided white vote This, he said, would have
given the state TO the negroes.
c. f. Frigg, white, testified that the de
cision OF the supreme court on the civil
rights question had tremendous effect on
the election, but the Danville riot had scarce
ly any effect Colored orators, after the su-
preme court decision, told the negroes the
United States government was going backon
them. The very best relations existed be-
tween the negroes and the whites in his Sec
ton
r. L.. Cohen, white, said the negroes of
Danyille were armed the day of the riot and
some of them talked in threatening man
ner.
Chas. T. O'Farrel, contestant for the seat
in congress from Virginia, was examened
He attributed the success of the Democrats
to the fact that the debt question had ceased
to be an issue, and large number of the
Democrats who had acted with the readjust-
ers returned to their allegiance.
Thos Fricker, Ashtabula, o. was examined
In 1876 he was in North Carolina, and had
IS negroes working for him. A few of
them were Democrats. The feeling was such
that witness wrs compelled to discharge the
Democrats. Black Democrats and black
Republicans could not be worked together
In 1888, witness having in meantime been
in Ohio, returned south and found a great
change in the characteristics of the colored
people. They seemed to have lost their res
pect, both for themselves and for the whites,
and took an air of ownership of all their sur
| roundings. asWitness learned the change was
due TO the advent of the Malone party Wit
ness went out driving every day and noticed
that the negroes had a habit of crossing the
street in frontof the passing carriage for the
purpose of annoying the occupants. Witness
tried to drive over his tormentora, and near
ly succeeded once or twice. Witness saw
colored women crowd white ladies off the
walk. The conduct of the whites toward the
colored people was kindly in the extreme
On cross examination by Senator Sherman
witness said he was Republican. He was a
opposed to Malone, because he came to the
senate as Democrat, and betrayed his par
| ty. Witness had been in Danville since the
riot and had formed an opinion that there
was little bloodshed with better results than
at Danville. He was only sorry it was not
| white blood.

of Trade in Washington.

McOUlllS Ol REPRESENTATIVES, vi DOdTuS
of Trade in Washington.
WASHINGTON, April IA meeting of the
representatives of the various boards of trade
of the country was held at Wizards hotel to-
night to urge upon congress the policy of "a
discontinuance for two years, at least, of the
coinage of the silver dollar Delegates were
present from the commercial bodies in Port
land, Providence, New Haven, New York,
Philadelphia, Baltimore, Cincinnati,
Chicago, St. Louis and Minneapolis. MarStn
Cole presided, and H. P. Boyden, Cincinnati,
was secretary. Resolutions approving the
policy of discontinuing silver coinage were
read from the boards of trade of Mobile, New
Orleans, Detroit, Louisville, Milwaukee,
Buffalo, Memphis, Paterson, Cleveland and
Charleston, and the New York stock, cotton
and produce exchanges, and in every case,
but with one exception, resolutions were re-
ported as having been adopted unanimously.
A letter was read from Mr.. Halstead, Cincin-
natl, strongly urging the ces-
sation for the present of
silver coinage. A memorial, signed by
$500 citizens of New York, was read favor
ing the same policy. Brief addresses were
made by a number of gentlemen present,
setting forth that thoughtful business men
are viewing with alarm the present and pros
pective effects of the silver issue, and also,
that very decided change in the popular
sentiment on silver coinage is taking place
in various localities west and south. Repre-
sentatives of the boards of trade now here
will have hearing before the house commit
tee ON COINAGE tomorrow.

The Messiah.

Signor Jannota will commence work on
the Messiah on Thursday, of this week, with
the Choral Esociets. The commencement will
be in part rehearsals In the afternoon he
will rehearse with the ladies, and in the
evening with the gentlemen, at College hall.
Every Monday evening thereafter will be
held a mass rehearsal. 1t is big undertak

that the society will carry it through to a sue
cessful accomplishment. He is all the more
encouraged by the fact that the chorus now
numbers over 200 voices and seems to be
ready and anxious to commence work. When
he gives it it will be the grandest thing ever

He Deserves Ilynchinp.

sAL1NA, CAL, April 14.-Thomas Whitcher,
resident of this place, lately separated from
his wife, was arrested to-day, charged with
having, at the muzzle of gun, compelled
his hfteen-year-old daughter to submit to his
Infamous desires, was released on bond
and started for his home. As he was step
ping in a buggy, his son drew revolver,
fired five shots, all of which missed the un-
natural parent. The excitement was so
great that the sureties withdrew from the
bond. Whitcher was rearrested, lodged in
Jail, and a lynching is probable.

Cincinnati Riot Investigation.

CINCINNATI. April 14.-Coroner Muscrots
has begun an inquest on the victims of the
late riot. He has selected thirteen, intend
ing to let that examination cover the entire
number So far nothing has been elected
beyond the testimony of the Identification of
the dead. 1t is said the coroner will not
make searching investigation, leaving that
for the special grand jury, which began its
duties this morning after being charged by
Judge Risry to make an inquiry into the late
riot, the burning of the court house, and
charges of corruption in connection with the
jury that tried Berner. The testimony be-
fore the grand jury is given privately, and
all are sworn to secrecy.

The Jury System Condemned.

PITTsBURG, Pa, April 1.-THE chamber
Of commerce its meeting to-day, denounced
the evils of the present jury system, and
passed resolutions recommending amend
ments, so that three-fourths be empowered
to render verdict; that it is obligatory upon
the jurors to accept the law as laid down by
the courts, rather than to be themselves the
judges of the law, as well as facts, and that
the jurors be selected without regard to po-
litical services.

party to the arrangement believing he
could make money out of it, but being on
his death bed wanted to tell the whole truth
before it was too late. He said, Il dom
propose to go t6the grave with lie on my
lips" He said the counsel for plaintiff was
not party to the arrangement, but was told
of it afterwards. True's disposition creates
a sensation. He is 67 years old, and his
death is momentarily expected.

of persons who may apply for voluntary
bankruptcy, and fixing the amount, namely,
those owing debts not less than $500.
Senator George moved to amend by re-
ducing the amount to 5000. He said the bill
would exclude many worthy men, especially
the pooqcolored men in the south, if the
sum was left at $500.
Senator Hoar thought each state should
provide for such cases some simple and mex
pensive method in insolvency
proceedings. Pending a debate on
this section, the senate went into executive
session and soon adjourned.

measure. A leading Republican stated to
the GLOBE correspondent that he believed
Morrison would be beaten by vote Of 140
for to 160 against consideration, placing
Morrison in minority of twenty. This est-
mate is too bigh. If consideration is defeat
ed the majority will not be over ten. Penn
sylvania Republicans are indignant because
Morrison perefnptorily declined to entertain
proposition to postpone calling
up the bill tomorrow so as to allow them to
attend their Republican state convention.
The resolutions of the deliberations of various
delegations tonight will not be divulged as
strict secrecy is maintained on both sides.
Morrison's friends are laboring assiduously
to win a victory, and admit they cannot
afford to be beaten. Much depends upon
the events Of tomorrow, as they will largely
make or mar control Of the Democratic ma
tional convention. There is a possibility Of
compromise, but it is remote. Mr.. Morrison
realizes, in view Of rival candidates. for the
presidential nomination, that it becomes
necessary to make his tariff fight
at once. Every day adds to his
strength to any appreciable extent, no one
knows what a day may bring forth. He has
held his forces well in hand, but he sees he
cannot hold them longer against all possible
contingencies.
HIS METHODS WITHOUT EFFECT.
The administration department officials
were very glum and reticent, consequent on
the results of the New York Republican dele
gate elections, |hich have gone SO unexpect-
edly anti-Arthur. 1t is admitted that the
presidents policy, to which he has rigidly
adhered, to make no effort to obtain
nomination blythe usual political methods, has
produced little effect, and that the appoint
ment of Lincoln, made in direct antagonism
to his candidacy for denomination, has not
stayed the hands of opposition, who have
taken the goods the gods have given them,
and remained steadfast to Blaine and other
rival aspirants. The president has only
nourished his adversares to find them un-
grateful, and lesson has been learned, but,
although he wished otherwise, there is deal
of policy to be employed on election and con
yention days.
HILARIOUS CHILDREN.
The beautiful grounds south of the White
house were invaded to-day by thousands of
merry children celebrating Easter Monday
with eggs, rolling down the hills and mounds,
irrespective of age, sex and condition. A
large proportion was colored, who shouted
with as much hilarity and shared the sports
equally with Caucasians. The scene was
beautiful and exciting, attracting a large
number of citizens, most of whom were gray
boards come to live over their lives of child
hood.

The Black Death.

The Black Death. .Outed
Buchanan
the ~ tsn1a sERGE OF THE Elaine jaime: G.
Blaine never be-. TURS the kno smoothing
organization, never-d the least sympathy
for its distinctive doctrines, never abated in
his wish and effort that it should be extinct
and completely out of the political field. and
always supported his editorial partner in his
unwearied efforts to disintegrate and get 1t
out of the way as an obstruction to the ris-
ing party of Freedom. In this necessary
work both of the editors of the kennebec
journal had the corporation of the great be-
dy of the republicans of Maine. Instead of
the Kennebec Journal being then considered
by the democrats the organ of the know moth
ings the Age, the old democratic organ OF the
capital, said jan 8, 1856 in announcing the
sale of the Ellsworth American to the Repub-
iicans, that "Mr Cheney has at last yielded
and sold ont the only know-nsthing organ in
the State" Mr.. Cheney had held firmly to
the distinctive know nothing doctrines and
been very hostile to the republican party.
Therefore the Augusta Age said: I'VE shall
miss brother Cheney from the corps"
But the most conclusive proof of Mr..
Blaine's opposition to know-nothingism
throughout his entire political career is in the
fact that the republicans have been in power
in the State most of the time for thirty years,
in which period he has been conspicuous in
hi, leadership In that long period the ma
turalized citizen has suffered no abatement
of his rights in any respect whatever, and
the constant political faith and effort of Mr..
Blaine and his republican associates have
to secure TO all men, regardless of color or
country of birth, equality before the law.
