clerk OF the United States Court at Abing.
don, Va. He identified circular current
in his neighborhood previous to the cleo
ton. 1t declared that race conflict had
been brought about at Danville, and that
Mahcne was responsible for it. A tele-
gram from Danville was appended to the
circular, saying: "We are standing in our
doors with guns protecting our families.
Post this up at the courthouse door. Rob-
ertson." Witness ssid there was an effort
on the part OF the Democratic party to re-
duce the issue to the question, care you
nigger, or are you white man." Wit
ness had never seen such intensity of
feeling since the firing on Fort Sumter
as was created by the circulars and re-
ports put out by the Democrats.
Senator Vance protested against the ad-
mission of evidence of this character, the
circulation of fly circulars and political
reports.
Witness was stationed at the polls during
the day of the election, and considered
his life in danger. 1t was his duty to chal-
lenge votes. The Democrats had taken
possession of the windows through which
the challenging must be done. Witness
was forced to stand behind the Democrats
and challenge over their shoulders. Every
challenge gave rise to much abuse on the
part of the Democrats. Witness was pub
licly insulted, and two or three times as
saulted on election day; on one occasion
he was rescued by Democratic officials.

A STATEMENT comes to us from Washing
ton, very well authenticated, to the effect
that the Democrats in the House who are
protectionists are about to ally themselves
with the Republicans to defeat the Morri-
son tarif-reiorm bin on its being reported
back to the House. The Pennsylvania
protectionist- Randall Democrats, including
Boss" Randall himself, have denied this
alleged collision with the Republicans, but
assert very boldly and plainly that they in
tend to vote against the bill, and they are
confident it will be defeated Well, we shall
see. Mr.. Morrison promises to report it
by the 18th instant, and Mr. Hurd, of the
committee, says he knows it has the ap-
proval of a majority of the Democrats.

THE DRUMMER AGAIN.
A Number of Merchants Insist Z that II e

From Taxation Except When He Dis
plays Goods for Sale.

The article in the APPEAL, of Yesterday,
calling attention to an editorial in the
Merchant Traveller, and stating the attitude
of the city government toward the COM
mercial evangelist, attracted considerable
attention yesterday, and in the afternoon
the following petition was handed in 10
President Hadden, to be presented to the
Legislative Council to-day:
THE Hon. d. 2. Hadden is right in en-
forcing the law requiring drummers from
other cities, coming here to sell goods by
sample, to pay tax; but the law as it
now stands is inadequate to our needs.
Drummers coming here to sell us alone,
and not our customers, should be taX-free,
as in some other cities; but those New
York, Cincinnati, st. Louis and other
drummers who come here every season
with trunk full Of samples, and rent a
small room at but little expense, should
be required to pay tax of $500 per year,
instead OF the Insignificant sum they now
pay, as they enjoy the same advantages
we do, and for which we pay largely; but
the present law acts against ourselves to
the benefit of strangers. Give us law
placing drummers from other cities ON the
same footing with ourselves" Signed by
J. A. Austin & Co., Goodbar q CO., An
derson Hat Company.
81 do not hesitate to say that agents o.
other cities who occupy and rent Offices here,
for the purpose OF keeping samples and
selling therefrom, should be required to
pay license as though the whole stock so
represented were actually on exhibit
otherwise, disastrous determinations ex-
list against our home dealers, who are re.
quired to pay full taxes. We indorse the

COnventiOn-Subjeet Discussed.
WASHINGTON, March 6.-At the meeting
of the National Woman's Suffrage Asso-
ton. the question Glow the National As
sociation Can Help the Women of Oregon
to Gain the Ballot" was discussed. 1t
was said that in that State Mrs. Dunaway
had been taking the census of voters IA
vorable to woman suffrage, and has learned
that the measure will have TIE vote of
the best citizens. 1t was decided to
assist Oregon in financial direction, and
in that direction alone. 1t was therefore
decided to prepare a circular and
send throughout the country to men,
bers and their friends asking for as
sistance. The report on the move
ment for woman suffrage by Virginia
the author by Miss Anthony. The re-
port was chiefly of positions attained
and work done in st. Louis by women.
Reports OF the movement in various
States were lead by several vice-presi-
dents, after which a series of resolutions
declaring the principles of the association
were introduced by Mrs. Herbert, of Hi.
nois, and laid aside for future considera-
ton. Miss Anthony read a long list of
names of persons from whom letters OF
encouragement had been received,
among them letter from Senator An
thony. Miss Phoebe Couzins,iof st. Louis,
then addressed the convention, her sub
ject being "What Answer" and was fol
lowed by Mrs. Belva r. Lockwood, who
discussed the question OF the constitu-
tionality of the Edmunds bill to disfran-
chise the women of Utah, and incident
ally defended the Mormon Church.
When she had finished her speech,
Miss Anthony stated that the asso-
citation had nothing to do with the
governments treatment of the Utah ques-
ton, except in so far as its treatment OF
the women of Utah was concerned. Mrs
Gerzer spoke on "Women Before the
Law" Miss Anthony notified the con-
vention that the President had arranged
to receive the delegates tomorrow; that
the Senate Committee on Woman Suffrage
would give them a hearing Friday, and the

The Nashville Banner has raised num-
Der OF questions about the lease of the
Penitentiary that, so far, have not been
satisfactorily answered. 1t challenged Mr.
Bullock, of the Nashville World, to tell
what he knew about it, which he did
promptly, and, as the Banner admits, sat
isfsctorily. 1t next challenges Messrs
Champion and Head, OF the World, and
they made an answer which the Banner
declares to be satisfactory, on one head at
least, and announces its determination to
look elsewhere, even here in Memphis,
for further information, alleging at the
same time that the "nigger in the wood
