At the Danville investigation, which was
resumed to-day, Mr.. Wise acknowledged
that he had altered els sworn testimony,
and said that in bis treatment Of members
of the Legislature who came to see him he
made no difference on account of color. Mr..
Landon C. Berkeley, some years ago teach
er at the Episcopal High School near Alex.
andria, is counsel for the white people OF
Danvile at this investigation. Among the
Mahoneite witnesses examined to-day was
one who confessed that the real people o.

LETTER FROM RICHMOND.

spsoia Correspondence of the Alexandria GAZETTE
RICHMOND, Va, March 3.-Mr. John S.
Wise was in the city to-day. He has been
made heartily sick of his kitchen speech.
The Mahoneites are very angry about it,
and some of Mr. Wise'5 rivals within the
party are rejoicing over his suicide. There
is only one way in which Mr.. Wise can in
gratiate himself with his offended and dis
gruntled colored brethren and that is by
giving grand soiree, to which colored men
and their wives shall be invited, and it
must take place not in the kitchen but in
his pallors.
The Meade case is moving along slowly
but quietly. The Impression prevails here
that mo will not be removed, that the Senate
will vote against his removal as well as
against the removal of Shumate.
Students OF the Theological Seminary
will learn with regret Of the total destruc
ton of Christ Episcopal Church here yester-
day mornin. Rev. Dallas Tucker was its
first pas,er and Rev Robt. Jackson who
died year ago was its rector at the time Of
his death The church was started by ST.
Pauls Congregation and was in the lower
part Of the city in the section known as the
Valley. 1t is probable that another site
will be selected, as the present is remote
and inconvenient. The usual early morn
ing Ltpten services at ST. Paul's Church
will not be conducted. Judging from his
vigorous and able sermons, Dr. Minuigerode
has entirely recovered his health, but bis
physicians deem il ilnprudent for him 10
attempt the conduc. Of the early services.
1t is the first time for fifteen years that
these early services have been discontinued.
While it is proper 10 afford every cncour-
ageMent to State institutions and worthy
obi acts generally, muny of the thoughtful
democrats think the appropriations made
are too heavy. Tnere must be halt some
where. Il will not do ~ have Il deficiency
next fall There is no telling what emer-
gences may arise. Ii any further appro-
| prialioDs are To be made it would be better
tor the Legislature to adjourn right away.
No effective steps have been taken to
stop coupons from coming in. Indeed, it is
not vet apparent what can be done.
Quite number Of members refuse to
| sign the call for an extra session because
they are not certain tina: a session next fall
may not be necessary. If Judges Hughes
and Bond render any adverse decision these
members are apprehensive that further leg
iSation will be absolutely necessary. They
are determined that the debt settlement
shall be settlement. Nor is at all improh-
able that some such move will be made in
the summer by the Arthur schemers in or.
der to discomfort the democratic ranks and
prepare for republican advantage. There.
fore, looking at the matter in this light, it
is not so improbable that the Legislature
may have to come back next fall
Much cutlery is being made about railroad
| lobby ists. There are SO many ways of work
ing these schemes through that the utmost
watchfuness is necessary.

SUICIDE.-Mr. George II. Spain, aged
about twenty years. son of Mr. George E.
Spain, residing near Sutherlaud's station, on
the Norfolk and Western railroad in Din
widde county, committed suicide at an ear
ly hour Sunday morning at the residence of
a relative at Matoaca, in Chesterfield county.
The young man came to Petersburg on Sat.
urday to attend to some business for his ia
ther and himself, and it is stated drank very
freely. After finishing his business be went
out to Matoaca with some friends TO attend
a musicrl entertainment. His condition was
such after arriving in the village that it was
thought best to put him to bed, and he was
taken to the residence of relative, Mr.
Edward Spain, where be was cared for. He
was very restless, however. and could not
sleep, and during the night Mrs. Spain pro-
posed to give him some medicine to quiet
him. He told her to tell his mother she
would never again see him alive, and his
manner was so wild that it startled her, and
she ran out TO call for assistance. She bad
gone but little distance, however, before she
heard the sharp report Of q pistol in the
house. Go returning, Mr.. Spain was found
lying dead on the floor. He had placed the
muzzle of the pistol to his right temple and
fired. The ball passed through the brain
max ing its exit through the left temple, and
death was almost ous.-Richmond

ALEXANDRIA, VA.
TUESDAY EVENING, MARCH 4.

IF Mr.. WISE can alter his sworn testimo-
nv before the Sherman Committee, of course
every other witness before that committee
can do the same. OF what use then is the
committee or its investigation in developing
the true cause of the Danville riot? Why
not have allowed the witnesses 10 stay at
nome and send to the committee such
accounts OF the riot and its cause as may
have suited their own ideas, and thus have
saved the people of the country the great
expense Of carrying them to Washington to
testify? People who are afraid of what the
democrats might DO if they should get con-
troll uf the Government are needlessly
alarmed, for as no change in the manage,
neut Of public affairs could be for the worse
any change must be for the better.

TIE LIFE OF A MILLIoSAIRE.-Who is this

man who wanted to be rich and has got rich, and
is getting richer every day. Is he the happier for
it? Happy Bless your soul, he's more misera-
BILE fuller Of cares and anxeties. and harder
worked than ever. He is the veriest slave of

ness is pushing him. He has SO many irons in
the fire that some Of them are burning his fingers
while others are getting cold. His present life is
rush from the meeting of this board to that
board and thence to the other board. He is di
rector in this company and trustee in that and
silent partner in another world without end and
more coming He hasn't time to eat, aud hardly
to sleep, and when he does lay his poor head on
the pillow he can't stop business plans and
schemes, hopes and fears from Whiring ami
whiriing through it. He can't take day to
spend in quiet out of town, and if he could he
would take all of his business with him into the
woods. He Ia slave and victim. His millions
in bank don't bring him much enjoyment as
does new ten-cet.t piece given to a boy ten years
old. He's Infected with the mania for getting,
and the more he gets the more he wants. If you
could see him just as he is, and where he is in
evitaby going aud how he is going there, you
would only pity him. He is of the coming
victims of demetia paralytica-the prevalent all
