why the Friends of the Colonel Failed to Get
Him Placed on the Retired List.
Special to the indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, March 30.-The failure Of the
friends Of Col. Henry j. Hunt to secure the pas
sage of the bill designed to place him on the re-
tired list as q major general has in it story
which is Of some interest to Northern Republic
ans. The opposition to this measure was large
ly due to the fact that Congressman Smalls, of
South Carolina, has made some very damaging
statements against the loyalty of Hunt during
the period Of reconstruction when he was in COM
mand of the United States forces at Charleston.
In those days the Bourbon element, in order to
crease public sentiment against the negro, con-
Btantly circulated stories to the effect that me-
gro uprsings were contemplated. and that the
whites were in fear Of their lives. AS Mr..
Smalls tells the story, on one occasion this roOr
back was started and the red-shirt and rife
clubs Immediately rallied to the support of their
white brethren, when the negroes were. in con-
sequence shot down like dogs. Colonel Hunt
was called upon to protect them, being the only
man to whom the poor colored men might ex-
poet to appeal with some prospect OF securing
the aid which they sought But Hunts sympa-
thy was not with them, and it is said that in
stead of ordering the troops to protect the
gros. he dotted his uniform and sprung to the
front of the red-shirt clubs, of which he at
once took the leadership. On another occasion,
according to the same authority, instead of pro-
secting the ballot-boxes, as he was expected to
do. he selected number of his federal soldiers.
and dressing them in citizens clothes, led them
60 the ballotbox where they cast their votes sol
idly for the Democratic ticket The friends of
Hunt will, of course, try again next Friday to
pass the bill, but they will meet with as deter
mined opposition as they did on the last
sion when it was up, and it is believed that they
will not be able to enact it into law

MINOR MATTERS.

Discussion in Financial Circles as to Secre-
tary Manning's Probable Successor.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, March 30-It seems to be the
general belief in financial circles that Secretary
Manning will never again assume his duties in
the Treasury Department, and, very naturally,
in consequence there is great deal of discussion
as to the name Of his probable successor. There
is every reason to believe that the President will
select FOR this important position the present As
sistant Secretary, Mr.. Fairchild, of New York.
This gentleman has exhibited wonderful ability
in financial affairs, and, inasmuch as he has the
same views on the important questions before
the country as Mr.. Manning. he would be likely
to continue the policy which has been inaugn-
rated by the latter. If DIR Manning's life is
spared he will still prove power in national
politics, and so long as his voice remains he will
be able to direct political affairs from Albany,
provided he returns to that city, which is likely,
with as much vigor as heretofore, and with less
danger of serious relapse than would be prob
able if he should remain in the Treasury.

WASHINGTON, March 3O.-Representatives
Randall, Hewitt. Barnes Crisp, Hiscock. Reed
and Phelps constituting the select commission
on ordnance and gunnery today reached final
unanimous agreement on their report, and it
will be presented to the House by Chairman
Randall The commission was appointed July
6. 1884, and has been taking testimony at differ
ent manufacturing points in the United States
and collating and digesting the facts collated
since that date. The report is accompanied by a
record Of the testimony taken, and says that an
examination of the testi mony shows: First
that there cannot to-day be made in the United
States steel gun above eight-inch caliber; and,
second, that various companies are willing to
undertake the operations of casting, forging,
rough boring, rough turning and tempering the
parts necessary to make guns of the largest cali
ber provided they receive sufficient remunera-
ton The commission have no hes
itation in recommending that all
guns for use by the army and navy, including
those for Notifications, when constructed, should
be constructed in the United States. 1t is safe
to say that the United States possesses facilities
within it's own boundaries sufficient to construct
all guns, or to finish and assemble all guns neces-
sary for the proper armament of our forts and
vessels OF war, provided enough money be ap-

such guns, or else to enable the manufacturers
to erect the necessary plant for the preparation
and production of the rough material, and to
obtain reasonable return on their capital, leav-
ing to the government the finishing and assem-
bling of such parts into guns.
Steam engines suitable for vessels of war, and
iron and steel war vessels, can also be success
fully built In this country. The committee
make no recommendations and say that in q
matter involving such vast expenditures they
prefer to leave the entire subjet to Congress.

murdered, ten days ago, by Weakey Ridley
and lobe Williams, negroes, who were arrested
and lodged in Jail at Alamo. The crime excited
the greatest indignation. Word has been re-

sons appeared at the jail and demanded the
prisoners. The jailer demurred, but was forced
to give up the keys. The mob entered the cell
in which the negroes were kept, and taking them
outside, lynched them without ceremony. After
the prisoners were pronounced dead the mob
quietly dispersed
