Our Washington Letter.

WAsHHoroN. d. c.. Dec. u. 1889.
Senator Cockrell, as chairman of
the caucus committee, reported to
the Democratic senatorial caucus a
list, assigning the Democratic Sem
ators to positions on the newly
created Senate committees, which
was ratified by the caucus.
Affairs around the Office of the
sergeant-at-arms of the House are
beginning to take on an ugly look.
The committe Of the House, which
has been investigating the defal-
cation of the absconding cashier,
Silcott, in its partial report tells
enough about the loose way of doing
business in that Office to surprise
people, and everybody knows that
the committee discovered good
many things which it has not told
because members and ex-members
of the House are mixed up with
them. This mystery. should be at
once and without delay swept away.
Matters have arrived at the stage
where it will be far better to make
public everything the committee
has found out than to attempt to
smother up things, as has been
done. This smothering policy has
resulted already in filing the air
with rumors charging all sorts of
things against various gentlemen
of prominence in both parties. In
the mean time Silcott is, the Lord
only knows where, and the books
show q shortage of about 81, 900.
If the action, or rather a want of
action, on the part of those most
concerned may be taken as a basis
Of opinion, Silcott's defalcation was
no legal crime. He has however,
been indicted by the grand jury
of this city for forgery, and if his
whereabouts can be discovered he
may be brought back.

members and senators will take adj
vantage of this opportunity to go
home for a flying visit. This is
particularly true of the Democrats
of the House, who do not feel the
same responsibility about the re-
cess work of the House committees
that they did last year. and for some
years past.
The Senate has two propositions
before it relating to negro emigra-
ton from the South. One is a bill
offered by Senator Butler, and the
other resolution offered by Sem
ator Gibson. Both look to govern
ment aid for the emigrants.
The Mckinley tariff bill will
probably be the popular name for
the measure which the republican
members of the ways means COM
mittee will try to formulate on that
most troublesome subject, the tariff.
It is entirely too early to attempt
to make prediction as to what the
new bill will be. Some people
think the bill will be based on the
Senate tariff bill of the last session.
Your correspondent does not think
SO. The Senate bill of last year
was a yote-catching hodge-podge Of
absurdities hurridly thrown to-
gether by order Of certain republi-
can bosses, and would never have
passed the Senate had not those
who voted for it known that it was
certain to be defeated in the House.
The new bill will be constructed in
a more leisurely way and will con-
sequently be better measure 1T
could hardly be worse.
Gen. Clark, ex-clerk Of the House
of Representatives, has been pre-
sented with valuable gold watch
and chain by his former employees.
Chief Justice Fuller is coming out
in new role-that of a popular
orator. He delivered the address
at the Congressional centennial last
Wednesday and he is to deliver an
address at the dedication of the new
Lincoln Music Hall in this city
next Fridny night.
The Senate has SO far confirmed
very few Of Mr.. Harrisons nomina-
tions, and against some of them
there is very active fight being
made, notably Morgan, commits
sioner of Indian affairs. and Dor
chester, superintendent of Indian
schools. It would not be surpris-
ing if these two are rejected
A committee of the House has
been appointed to try and run down
the scoundels who committed the
forgeries on the notorious ballot
box contract, which was used in the
recent Ohio campaign. Honest
men of both parties will earnestly
wish the committee God speed in
its good work. Justice Lamar, Of
the Supreme Court, has accepted
an invitation to deliver an address
to . mass meeting of the citizens of
Richmond, Virginia, on the life and
character of the late jefferson
Davis.
The death of Mrs. Scott Lord, a
sister of Mrs. Harrison's, has made
things very quiet around the

No Trouble Of Any Kind.

No Trouble Of Amy Kind.
For the last fortnight wild and
unreasonable rumor has prevailed
throughout Grant parish that the
negroes intended to attempt to kill
off the whites. It took the definite
shape of specifying that the attack
was to be made Christmas Eve,
while the whites were expected to
be congregated at Robinson's show
boats at the Colfax landing. As q
matter of course the whites armed
themselves and prepared for any
emergency, the most of them all
the while counselling moderation
and asserting their belief that the
report was untrue and entirely
without foundation. The outcome
proves it to have been q ridiculous
myth. But it was a hurtful and
dangerous report, liable to cause
untold trouble, and, if the parties
who started it can be designated,
We shall take pleasure in publish
ing them as unprincipled, malicious
liars of the most cowardly stamp.
No one has been harmed thus far,
and we trust that no one will be,
not even the contemplate fool or
fools who started the report and
kept it going.
The following communication
from the representative colored
men of the parish gives a clear
statement of their position in re-
lation to the matter:
CoLFAx, La, Dec "a, 1850.
Editor Collar Chronicle:
Please publish in your journal,
in regard to the rumor that has
been circulated, that the colored
people were going to kill all of the
white men and take possession of
their homes and families, that we
the undersigned colored men do
deny all such rumors and brand
them as false and unfounded. This
lie was helped along and given un-
due weight by the inlprudent talk
of persons ignorant of the trouble
it was likely to bring about. As
law-abiding citizens wedo not coun-
tenance or tolerate lawless charac-
ters. Our country is on the eve of
prosperity and we ask our white
friends to let us live together in
peace and harmony, with good will
and friendship for each other.
The Colfax chronicle. [volume] (Colfax, Grant Parish, La.) 1877-1981, 1889-12-28

The report having gained credit
that a colored man by the name Of
George Anderson was in some was
responsible for the rumor, num-
Der of colored men called him to
account. Their investigation proved
that he had only repeated what he
had heard, and that he could moi
have been responsible for the ru-
NOR, as it originated Is or 20 miles
from where he lives. He makes
the following affidavit:
STATE OF L.ogIsIANA.}
/ the undersigned do hereby GER
tify that / never said that the color
ed people of this parish said they
inteded to kill out the white men
and take their wives in the said
parish. Two white men from the
bills told me there was to be trouble,
and / never did hear any colored
man say so, or make any threats
about it. / did not intend to lead
any one to believe there was to be
trouble, when / said / wanted to
get outof the way if there was to be
trouble. Signed in the presence of
the subscribing witnesses, this Dec.
Is, A. d. 1889.
Witness GEORGE ANDERSON.
John WILLIAMS,
LORENZO SMITH.
The colored people are to be con-
graduated on their quiet behaviour
during this trying ordeal, and we
sincerely hope and trust that they
and their white fellow-citizens may
never have the good cheer Of Christ
mas interrupted in such a shame
full way.

The body of William Berry, of South
Camden, was found in the Delaware
river, near the foot of Chestnut street,
on Saturday, and was taken TO the
morgue. An empty liquor flask and
90 cents were found on the body.
Barry was a blacksmith and had
been employed at Dialogues ship
yards. and is said TO have at
one time been foreman in Baldwin's
Locomotive Works, Philadelphia. He
was addicted to drinking, and it is sup
posed that he fell overheard while in
toxieated. He was last seen leaving a
saloon in South Camden about 10
O'Clock on Friday night, under the in
tiuence of liquor. and was walking

A TERRIBLE MAN.
A Desperate I'm sIilIvilie Streets.

The following telegram appeared in
the Philadelphia Evening Call Friday
night, and is undoubtedly somewhat
exaggerated:
''Elihu Clark, the desperate who is
badly wanted a. Millville by the city
and county officers for wife beating,
cruelty, non-support of children, break
ing Jail and selling rum and beer from
wagon upon the city streets, and
who expects to meet several other
charges should he be taken, is still at
liberty and is causing the community
at large considerable trouble.
Some of the officers have been armed
with warrants for a month, but his
gang of friends is so strong that he
cannot be taken without bloodshed.
He rides into town each day and sells
his contraband goods in the very face
of the police, who dare not touch him.
Wednesday night a crowd of boys who
had been drinking, proposed putting
up job on CLARK and going out into
the woods where he is usually found,
ran afoul of him and informed him
that they were officers after him. A
fight Immediately ensued, in which
dozen were taking an active part
Knives, beer bottles and pistols were
drawn and used. Clark received
several severe cuts from broken glass.
Ed. Moore had an eye gouged out and
his face was otherwise bruised S.
Robbins nearly lost the sight of one
eye, and two or three, whose names
are unknown, were badly hurt.
When notes were compared it was
found that the gang were all friends
and the bitter fight was all mistake
After the affray the party visited a
notorious ranch just outside the city,
and being refused beer by the proprie-
tor kicked and beat both husband and
wife.
Clark was heard to say ON the depot
platform last night that no two men
would attempt to take him and get off
