death. His tent was pitched ON the
bank of the Carson river, at the june
ton of the old emigrant road across
the 4O-mile desert. .\t his place the
emigrants first found water after the
long and tedious march across that
desert. There being plenty grass
alOpg the river there were
usually three or tour hun
dred emigrant tents and
covered wagons at kenyOn's place
during every summer and fall, and
it was this ragged locking congrega-

Ragtown. Kenyon made vast deal

often purchasing horses, wagons and
other valuable property whi n the

WASHINGTON, April 2.-The first
witness examined by the Danville
Committee was VIM. Ruttin, of
Danville, before whose office the riot
took place. Ruftin was the framer
of the Danville circular entitled:
"Coalitlon Rule in Danville,' and
announced he since really opposed it,
and with q single minor point in
serted by another man, upon its
revision believed its statement true.
Ruffin was not in Danville the day
of the riot. He was examined re-
garding the condition of things
antecedent to it. He illustrated his
statements with variations of matters
within his present knowledge. On
one occasion when some negro MUIR
derers had been arrested, he was
passing a party of colored men on
the street, and one of them was
addressing his fellows in very intem-
perate language, abusing the whites
in the vilest manner; he wished he
could have some chance to shoot some
id white man; he never had
chance to kill a white man and moth
ing Oh the face of earth would do
him so much good as to kill a white
man; he didn't care who it was. The
man at this took pistol from bis
pocket and just toyed with it. Aside
from the riot the relations be-
tween the two races we're of the most
cordial nature, as much SO as was
possible between servant aud en-
plOyer anywhere.
Edwin Hill (colored) testified he
attended q meeting where q colored
speaker had recommended that COL
Ored Democrats be assassinated,
whereupon witness thought matters
were taking a personal turn, and
left. Witness afterWard met man
whom he claimed to have credited.
The man pulled of his hat, his coat,
his vest, and throwed 'em down, and
just doubled up his hand and rubbed
it up and down my nose, and sand he:
II am the man, and l will drink
your blood or you mine" I didn't
present my bill, and I took it for
granted he had feeling toward me for
voting the Democratic ticket.
L. ID. Clark, white farmer, living
six miles from Danville, testified it
was a Usual thing for the negroes to
20 armed and very rare thing for
white men to do So
J. Pleasant (white) had heard
negroe: say they wanted to kill some
d. poor white people. The negroes
were very impudent and generally
we'll armed.

to ascertain the expense incurred by
the territorial authorities and the
people of Idaho in the suppression of
the Indian hostilities in 1877 and 1878,
known as tho Bannack and Nez

Placed on the calendar.
Bills introduced and referred: BY
Hill, regulating the mail contracts in
Alaska; also to make certificates of
gold and silver deposits in the treas
ury of the United States legal tender
for public and private debts.
A bill was introduced by Edmunds
and reported favorably from the COM
mittee on naval affairs for the relief
of the Jeanette survivors, was
passed.
The chair laid before the senate the
education bill.
Coke opposed the bill on the ground
both of constituti0nality and expedi-
ency. The power Of congress over
the state school system will become
absolute if this bill is passed. For
his part he would be unworthy, if this
bill passed, to represent the great
state of Texas if he were willing to
barter the great right Of local self
government for a million dollars or a
thousand millions or two thousand
millions. Once let the question Of
state schools get into politics and the
negroes will demand mixed schools
and the republican party would con-
cede it to them. The worst phases of
the race question, Coke believed,
would follow.
Logan submitted some amendments
which he said he would at the proper
time move to the bill.
