VIRGINIA TROUBLES.
Address of the Democratic State Com
• inlttee to the People of Virginia.
Richmond. Va„ Nov. 30.— The State Cen
tral and Executive Committees desire to con
gratulate the Democratic party of Virginia
u[m,n a great and signal triumph at the polls.
Thisi* their formal duty; but, to give full
reiu tothe feelings of the hour, their congratu
lations must extend farther aud embrace all
the people of this State and all the Irtends of
republican government in every part of the
Inion; for an ancient Commonwealth has
been redeemed, a travesty of free institutions
will no longer disgrace the earliest home of
lmlitical liberty in America, Virginia has
shaken off the degrading chains of a corrupt
and corrupting tyranny.
The late election illustrated many of the
lx-st features of popular government. None
ever more deeply stirred the hearts of the
voters; yet, in substance, the peace was no
where broken.
A revolution in the government was
effected; yet the machinery of the election
was under the control and absolutely in
the bands of the party now driven from
power.
The colored race, inflamed by ambitious
demagogues, with unreasonaing prejudice
against their white fellow-citizens, were led,
" ith rare, exceptions, in solid battalions fo
cast their votes against the party now trium
phant: yet no trace of passion or resentment
against the colored people will find any place
in the conduct or the legislation of that party.
The lilioral declaration of principles to which
the Democratic partv pledged themselves in
July last, when they asked the votes of the
people, will not cease to be their guide in the
hour of victory. Every pledge of that de
claration will be fulfilled as the most sacred
promise.
THESE GENERAL STATEMENTS
would suffice in Virginia, where the farts are
known, to give the only answer needed—an
indignant denial—to the unfounded charges
against the good peopleof this state contained
in a recent address from the leader of the Co
alition party, but as that manifesto was
meant to affect the opinion of distant commu
nities. its principal allegations must be no
ticed in detail.
In the address of Gen. Malione systematic
murder and bloodshed are charged in Charles
City. Halifax, Hanover. Floyd-, Augusta,
Madison and I.ee counties, and’in the town of
Danville.
In those counties (except Madison) the
Coalitionists |Hillcd 2,49 ii more votes than in
Inn*.
TltE DANVILLE AFFAIR.
It must be premised that siure the election
of May, IH-SB, Danville has lieen under negro
government, with negro policemen, and that
a belief had grown up in the minds of the
negroes that, as against white men, they
w uld, in every case, receive the support
and protection of the municipal government.
In consequence they had la-come rude
and insulting to the whites, and had
feeling had been mutually brought
about. This tendency to race- excitement
had lieen aggravated by the heated canvass
of the last few months, and had been spe
cially intensified on the night of the 2d of
November by an incendiary speech delivered
by a Coalition leader Sims to an audience of
501) negroes. In this fevered state of feeling,
on the 3d of Novemlier. between 2 and 3
o'clock, a fist tight—the second of that day—
between a white man (Noell and a negro
Lawson struck the spark which kindled a
violent but brief explosion.
And here it is important to observe that
!~ith of these fist-fights were brought on by
insult' first proceeding from tlie negro Law
son and bis companion, and the negro Lawson
is the same who had on the Ist of November
offered an unprovoked insult to a white man
Taylor who was quietly passing through a
crowd of colored people
A little after midday on the 3d of November,
Noell passing down the street, had, without
any provocation, been insulted by Lawson
and bis colored companion. This Noell re
sented with blows, and, passing on, deter
mined to let the matter drop and go into the
country, expressing his determination to keep
ont of further trouble on account of the pre
vailin'* excitement. But afterwards, as he
was driving along in a buggy, be was, with
out provocation on it is part, three times de
fiantly jeered at by his late assailant Lawson,
wiio followed him with a crowd of negroes.
Not able to brook these insults. Noel! rapidly
calb and to bis side, to secure fair play. Id’s
friends Lea and Taylor, white men to whom
he declared he would strike Lawson onlv
witli bis fists, and again got to blows with the
negro.
A GREAT CROWD OF BLACKS
were now pressing around, and Lea and Tav
lor bade them stand off. as it was a fair fight,
and the two men should be left to fight it out.
To enforce this Lea and Taylor drew their
pistols.
Mionly afterward*, as the testimony of I!.
F. Williamson shows, a negro named Adams
ran up liehiml Lea and attempted to snatch
lus pistol from him. In the scuffle which fol
lowed the pi-tol was discharged. This pistol
shot, for which the negro George Adams, as
the aggressor, is distinctly responsible, seems
to have wrought up the crowd of 100 to 150—
some say 300 —negroes to an uncontrollable
pitch of excitement; and though the colored
i>olicenian Withers and his white comrade
and Booth, Oliver, and other white citi
zens, entreated the colored people to dis
perse and keep the peace, cries were now
heard from tlie negroes—outnumber-,
ing the whites by certainly live,
and probably ten, toone—that “they might as
well have it out there as anywhere,” firmly
answered by the little band of whites, “We
are ready for you. If you won’t disperse,
we’ll settle it.”’ Then a negro jumped up in
the crowd and, bolding up a pistol, shouted.
”1> u you, come on.” At that moment the
tiring lh-gan—from which side cannot be as
certained—and was kept, up from both sides,
though the negro policeman (Withers) testi
fies that “at first the white people shot up in
the air as if to scare the people* away, and
then the firing seemed to be on both sides at
each other.’’
WHAT SEEMS CERTAIN’
is that if the ten or fifteen brave white men.
standing there and facing that angry crow and
-o enormously outnumbering them, had
flinched for an instant or retreated one foot
from the ground they occupied, they them
selves would liavc lieen butchered, and the
town would have lieeu at the mercy of an
infuria ed mob. That there was a predispo
sition on the part of the negroes and their
Coalition leaders to bring on a disturb
ance is shown by the unprovoked insult
offered to Taylor on the Ist of Novem
ber, and twice repeated on the 3d to
Noell; by the declaration of Epp Barks
j dale, an active white Coalitionist, on the night
; of Novemlier 2d: “We have got the nogroes
solid against you, and I’ll Ik- uamned if we
I can’t turn them loose on you In five seconds;”
by the statement of Arrington (colored) that
he heard Taliaferro, a leader of the negroes,
say about 12 o'clock on the 3d of November,
“There will boa difficulty here to-day:” and,
i lastly, by the inflammatory siieech of Sims on
the night of the 2*l.
During the fight all the leading white men
of Danville were gathered in a public meet
ing in the Opera House. A lew of them
reached the scene of the conflict towards its
conclusion, and by their aid peace and order
were immediately restored by tlie local
authorities, so that ou election day there was
not a quieter town in the country than Dan
ville. But liefore quiet was restored two
| whites ami seven negroes had been wounded.
! Of the negroes, four afterwards died. One of
I the white men wounded was certainly shot
j by a negro, aud the of**er most probably also,
i V third white man, patrolling tlie streets as a
-IH-cial policeman, was shot ou Saturday
l night by a hidden assailant.
In conclusion, the real truth of the matter
i is that on the ttth of this month of November
the peopleof Virginia rose, as patient, long-
I suffering, law-loving American freemen will
: always rise against outrage and oppression—
a majestic spectacle for all lovers of civil
| and imlitical liliertv in every part of this
abounding land. The fullness of time had
; come, the petty dictator liad played out his
i selfish and treasonable game till even the
i blind conld see that bitter end which a shirt
! time ago only the wise could predict.

Charleston yens and Courier , Nor. <iOtk.
About throe weeks ago Mrs. Osman
Bailey, of 38 Hasel street, formerly Miss
Whitridge, ot Baltimore, received a’ letter
, from an uncle in Baltimore stating that
he was very ill, and asking her to come
• out aud nurse him. Mrs. Bailey at that
j tinje was unable to comply with the re
| quest, and before she Was able to do so
I she received word that he was dead, leav
ing her heir to a large part of his prop
’ ertv, which amounted to 13,000,000. The
I exact amount of her legacy has not been
ascertained vet, but it is estimated to be
at least S.V>,OOO.
Mr. Osman Bailey was born and reared
; on Edisto Island, aiid owned a plantation
and negroes. During the late war he lost
all his property, and had to make his liv
ing as best ho might. For sometime he
was engaged in hauling lumber, but this
not suiting him he resolved to try driving
a street car, and has for the last nine
years been employed bv the Enterprise
Railway Company, in the year 1801 Mr
Bailey was married to Miss Whitridge,
who is just one year younger than her
husband. Mr. Bailey is now 56 years old
I anu has eight children, the eldest of whom

' Baltimore, pursuing (he business of a
! commission merchant. The money was
! loft to his nieces and nephews, and the
: number of claimants is not yet know n.
Mr Bailey says that he has not employed
counsel. :s the will is not in probate. Mr.
Bailey will npi give up his situation as a

SPEAKERSHIP INTRIGUES.
CARLISLE STILL CONFIDENT OF
TO-DAY’S RESULTS.

by Far the Best—A Hollow Bing to

pointed-The Phelps-Keifer Corre
spondence over the Empty Honor.
AYashington, Nov. 30.— There has
been pulling and hauling all day over the
Speakership. To-night the contest is very
warm. The Randall men look more hope
ful. The Carlisle men are as confident
and as well assured of victory as they
were last night. Mr. Randall claims that
the fruits of the day have been good. He
has been working all day like a man
struggling to save his life, Mr. Carlisle
has not been working much. He is only,
he said, to-night exerting himself to keep
what he has got. There is no sign what
ever of any breaking from him, although
Mr. Randall’s followers have been busy
during the day circulating reports to that
effect. The three Massachusetts Demo
crats arrived here to-night. They went
directly to Mr. Carlisle and told him he
would receive their votes. Mr. Randall
has claimed them. Judge Follett, of Cin
cinnati,who has been claimed by Randall,
to-night assures Mr. Cat lisle that he was
for him. The State of Georgia delegation
will have to be changed a little. They
are all here now. Nicholls. Hardeman
and Candler will vote for Randall. The
other seven are for Carlisle. Senator
Brown has been working to-day for
Randall. He says that to elect Carlisle
would be doing a very good thing for the
Republican party. There will be absent
Ironi the caucus to-morrow night about
six Democrats. They are at home sick.
It is estimated that about 191 will be pres
ent. Of that 191, Carlisle said to-night
that he was absolutely certain of 9tl on
the first ballot. He knew what he was
talking about. He said that the predic
tion was as true as all the others he had
made during the canvass. “Every claim
I have made so far,” he continued, “has
been borne out by facts. This statement
of !Hi men tor me, will be found to be cor
rect.” It was thought that the meeting of
the New Y’ork delegation to-night would,
by its action, work something of much
importance. There were 10 out of 21
members present. They decided to
support Mr. Cox it the contest was
between him and Carlisle, but other
wise to vote as they please. Such a deci
sion, of course, could have no effect. It
simply leaves New Y'ork where it was be
fore. Mr. Carlisle will get about six of
its A’otes, but he does not claim them for
his slate of 96. Ilis claim that he is prac
tically elected now is as good as it was
last night. The Randall men to-night
show how shaky they feel by starting all
manner of stories about Carlisle. One of
them is that he has promised, in consid
eration of certain votes, to organize the
Ways and Means Committee that there
shall be no effort looking to tariff reform.
When this report was mentioned to Mr.
Carlisle he promptly branded it as a lie.
Everything points to the conclusion that
the caucus will to-morrow night say that
Carlisle shall be Speaker.
IStj the AMociated Prets.
Washington, Nov. 30. —Seventeen Demo
cratic members of the New York delegation
assembled in conference at Mr. Cox’s room at
12:30 o’clock to-day, and remained together
until 1:45 o'clock, at which time they took a
recess till S o’clock. No resolutions were
passed and no formal action of any kind was
taken. Everything has been postponed for
the evening session. The absentees were
Messrs. Hutchins, Arnott, Rogers and Robin
son. The New York members who were at
the consultation say that the entire delega
tion. with the probable exception of two
members, will support Mr. Cox till the last.
Mr. Muller, one of the dissenting members,
promised to give a final answer as to his
determination at the meeting to-night.
An important incident of the Speakership
contest to-day was the action of the New
York delegation with respect to Mr. Cox’s
candidacy. That the vote of this delegation
was considered important not only in Its
direct relation to Mr. Cox's fight, blit in its
bearing upon Mr. Randall's chances, was
evident from the fact that until the result of the
New York conference was made known Mr.
Randall's lieutenants would only talk iu the
most general terms of the situation. Mr.
Carlisle’s friends, however, appeared to look
for nothing from New York, and had only a
curious interest in the result of the con
ference. They said that they could win with
out the vote’from either New York or Penn
sylvania. The New York men had an in
formal meeting iu the afternoon, at which
nothing was determined. This evening an
other ' meeting was held in a room
adjoining Mr. Cox's headquarters at the
Willard Hotel. Twenty members were
expected to attend, but only sixteen put in
an appearance. The session lasted more ttan
two hours, and Mr. Cox announced as tlie re
sult of the meeting that the sixteen members
present would sup|mrt him in his light. It was
learned, however, from members of tlie dele
gation that upon the proposition to vote for
Mr. Cox until released by him from any obli
gation to do so, only eleven votes iu
the affirmative. The other live members pres
ent would not pledge themselves to vote for Mr.
i ox throughout, although they expressed their
willingness to go into the caucus as his sup
porters. The second choice of those live, it is
understood, is Mr. Randall. Mr. Cox said to
night, after the mcctingof the New York dele
gation. that he was still in the fight. He
spoke with an assumption of cheerfulness, but
with some apparent bitterness of lus experi
ences in tlie contest. Mr. Carlisle's forces re
ceived several accessions to-day, some of tliem
unexpected. One vote from Florida and one
from Louisiana that bate heretofore been
counted for Randall were entered ou the Car
lisle list to-day. the gentlemen who will poll
their votes calling on Mr. Carlisle to assure
him of their support. Mr. Carlisle also re
ceived the assurances of eight of tlie
ten members of the Georgia delegation
two of the three members of tlie West Vir
ginia delegation and four members of the
Massachusetts delegation that they would
vote for him from first to last. Representa
tive Follett. of Ohio, who was said to lie
wavering and inclined towards Mr. Randall,
called upon Mr. Carlisle to-night and pledged
himself to vote for the latter until the last
ballot. It was stated also at the Carlisle's
headquarters that the Wisconsin delegation,
which was placed last night iu the Randall
doubtful list, was pledged to Carlisle, and
that the latter could be elected without a vote
from New York, Pennsylvania or Ohio, al
though three votes from the last mentioned
State were claimed for him. The maximum
vote conceded to Mr. Randall at the Carlisle
headquarters Is sixty-five. There was a
larger crowd at Mr. Randall’s rooms to-night
than last night, but most of the increase was
due to the arrival of friends of that gentleman
from Pennsylvania. The Congressmen who
were present,besides the Pennsylvania mem
bers. were mostly from the Southern States.
Ohio was well represented, however, and
there were two or three Indianians present at
times. Gentlemen authorized to speak for
Randall held to the figures given last night of
ninetv-four votes for their chief. They dis
puted Carlisle’s claim to the votes of Wiscon
sin and other Western States, and
said that the majority of the Ohio and
lowa delegations could he found voting for
Mr. Randall. They considered Mr. Cox still
in the fight,, and allowed hitn from 30 to 10
votes. The principal part of his strength,
they said, would go to their candidate when
Mr. Cox withdrew. There was a renewal to
night of tlie talk of an arrangement between
the friends of Mr. Cox and Mr. Randall, and
this talk was emphasized by the Hitting to and
fro between Mr. Kamlall’s and Air. Cox’s
headquarters of professed supporters of those
two gentlemen. Ohio members were conspic
uous in the number of those who were to be
found first at one place and then at the other.
Eight of the Ouio members are sure to vote
for Mr. Randall, and it is almost equally cer
tain that he will get ten of them as soon as
Mr. Cox is out of the light. There has been
considerable talk, principally by tlie Carlisle
men, of an effort to secure a viva voce vote in
the caucus. Mr. Willis, Mr. Carlisle’s
principal lieutenant, explained this to-night
bv stating that some of Mr. Carlisle's
friends, who arc front States in which the
viva voce form of voting is used at all elec
tions, urge that it be adopted in caucus. He
savs that they use the argument that as this
contest is not a personal oue, but a contest
over a principle, the constituents of the mem
bers have the right to know how they vote.
Mr. Willis said that he did not know whether
or not the friends of viva voce voting would
have strength enough in the caucus to secure
the adoption of that method of voting for
Speaker.
THE STAND AGAINST KIEFER
The Republican members of the House will
meet in caucus at 2 o’clock to-morrow after
noon to select candidates for House officers.
Representative Win. Walter Fhelpe, of New
Jcrscv, arrived in Washington this even
ing. In conversation with a reporter he
expressed some surprise at the impor
tance given to his recent letter to
ex-Speaker Keifer. It contained, he said,
nothing except a suggestion that Keifer could
do Ins partv a great good were he disposed to
tell his friends not to vote for lus nomination
in the caucus, ft jVas neither a threat nor a
command nor a request, but a simple sugges
tion. Nor were the reasons given, he thought,
uncomplimentary to the ex-Speaker. They
would apply to all who, during the
last two years, liad held positions in
the narty of sufficient prominence to excite
enmities. The letter was not marked per
sonal nor private nor confidential, but was a
letter ou :t public subject, ami a* such could be
discussed with propriety by all who were in
terested in its subject. Mr. Keifer’s reply, he
said, was kindly enough, but he feared that
personal friends might claim that a reqomfna
lion was necessary as a vindication for him.
Ha (Phelps) still thought that the welfare of
the party was of greater importance than a
vindication of this kind, which was never
complete and satisfactory. Ho proposed
method of procedure, which
in his opinion, would tend to
that party harmony which all desired,
and which, while it might not give Mr.
Keifer all that he wished, would not have the
appcaralice of eiving to another what Mr.
Ktiifer'B friends claimed was hts by right;
that was that the Republican members
should have xa,u>.. or if a caucus was
held, that it should tuako fi*/ nomination. In
SAVANNAH, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 1, 1883.
this case each Republican member of the
House could vote for the man he thought best
fitted for the post. This plan. Mr. Phelps
said, had the advantage spoken of. It saved
Mr. Keifer lrom the appearance of being set
aside. It saved the Republicans of the House
from giving this insignia of leadership
at a time when they could not vet
know who was the worthiest of trust,
and it gave no member the prescriptive right
to a renomiuatiun to the Sspeakerstiip in the
Forty-ninth Congress, where all Republicans
hoped that a nomination would be equivalent
to an election. If the Republicans, however,
still insisted upon making the same nomina
tions, Robinson’s name had been sugeested as
one commanding many obvious advantages.
As Governor of Massachusetts he would not
lie in \\ asliington to claim the leadership in
the party on the strength of this indorsement,
although, could he remain, it is doubtful, as
Congresses run, if any new member could be
found who would develop more qualifications
for the post than, in his opinion, Mr. Robinson
had shown himself to possess. Mr. Phelps
said that he had heard several members ex
press their desire to vote forjudge Kellev, (lie
lather of tlie House. If a caucus of the Re
publican members was called he (Phelps) ex
pected to attend it and to propose that it
should adjourn without making any nomina
tions. The correspondence between Air.
Phelps and Mr. Keifer is given to the public
to-day. A full and correct summary of Mr.
Phelps’ first letter has already been tele
graphed. Mr. Keifer’s reply is very long and
of vigorous language, lie does not accept Mr.
Phelps’ proposition.
The following are e.xtraets from Mr. Kei
fer’s letter to Mr. Phelps:
Springfield, 0., November 19, 1883.
Mv Dear Sir— Your favor of the 17th iust.
is just at hand. I note the very kindly spirit
in which you write, ami I assure you I ap
preciate your frankness In writing, and if it
turns out that I caunt do what you so kindly
ask tne to do it will not ba because I would not
like to accept and act on your judgment with
out first seeing personal friends aud members
of the House, who may feel that it would be
as much reflection on them as on ntyself fur
me to decline to accept if offered a compli
mentary vote for Speaker at the organization
of the Forty-eighth Congress. 1 cannot de
cide the matter. There is no sacrifice I would
not make for the good of the Republican
party, hut the question remains, would a
sacrifice or. my part do the party any
good? Would it not only give vicious persons
who have so falsely ami maliciously assailed
me a chance to assume that I confess that I
did wrong aud that the Republicans in tlie
last Congress did wrong and failed in point of
duty, etc.? My withdrawal might be inter
preted as an open confession of all this, and
more. The last Congress accomplished more
than any other that ever met in the way of
legislation touching the moral ami material
interests of the country.” Mr. Keifer then
enumerates the nriucipal measures passed
by the last Congress, asserts that
it was a working Congress, and
that he was absent from the chair only two
working days through Us two sessions. He
claims commendation for not recognizing the
factions in the party in the formation of the
committees, and proceeds as follows: “One of
the things that secured my elect ion as Speaker
was that I was not a half breed or a stalwart
Republican, as the divisions were made in
New York, but a Republican who
never recognized any dividing
point in the party. I was supported
by the devoted and warmest friends
of the late President Garfield, and by others
generally front Hie West and South, and by
still others from the East, who would not
recognize party divisions. 1 claim credit for
preventing and avoiding party divisions in
the last House. You speak of the wide disa
greements of the last two or three years in
the party I deny that any such disagree
ments existed iu the last House, or that I am
in any degree responsible for divisions any
where. You sneak of those who
have attracted personal hostility
to themselves. There may he
some ol the old members who did not en
thuse over my course, or who did not like me
personally. But 1 do not now recall any one
who showed hostility to me either by word or
act, save, possibly, Mr. Orth. If there were
such they did not make it known. J now re
call no special hostilities to myself from
any jierson or persons save from
those, not members, who first tried
to use me in their own interests, or
for corrupt purposes. 1 could give you
marked instances with proofs to sustain them.
My silence may have led you and manv other
honest, true men to believe many of tlie false
charges published of aud about me. They say
I bargained chairmanships of committees for
support for Speaker. This is absolutely
false. No member of the last Con
gress can or will say that I promised
hint anything for liis supiiort, that worthy
and qualified friends of mine were recog
nized by me voluntarily in constituting cora
mittehs is true. That any intentional injus
tice was done to any one who opposed me for
Speaker is false. In the discharge of my
duty as Speaker I may have, in a few in
stances. been too harsh or arbitrary for my
own popularity, and possibly in rare in
stances, iu the hurry of matters, I may have
been uujust. I am proud to say that no Speak
er ever had as steady and haruioniouJ
support from his party friends on
the floor as I had. They recognized the fact
that I took the responsibilities fearlessly and
successfully, and that I never asked another
or others t' bear my burdens, and was always
willing to help bear those of others. 1 wish I
knew you personally and intimately. I have
faith that you would lie one of my warmest
friends, though you might see in me faults to
condone front time to time. If I were
made aware that any considerable
minority of the members of the next House
who are acquainted with me and my course as
Speaker desired me to stand aside I would
cheerfully do so. Your letter is the only one
that hints at such a dhsirc. I have not initia
ted a correspondence or opened a conversa
tion with any member or person on the sub
ject. A number of both tlie new and old mem
bers, inspired by some recent attacks in the
press, have written me, saying in
various forms of words not' to de
cline “empty honors” They say that
it would not only be reaction on tne but on
the party. A letter which came in the same
mail with yours from a prominent member in
the East, who never wrote me before or spoke
to me ou the subject, and who did not support
me for Speaker two years ago. contains tlrs
language: •! will how say that no work
should be left undone to secure your nomina
tion of the Republican members for Speaker.
In your case it will be a just vindication
against the foolish and false things printed.’”
1 have answered but one letter before re
ceiving yours from any member on the sub
ject. 1 have taken no interest in it thus far,
anil I think 1 shall not in the future. X have
not yet learned that any member was op
posed to me for compliment, though there
mas> be many. Have you any data as to the
feelings of members which you could give me?
1 am bound to presume that you have been in
fluenced by the vile stuff poured out by a
portion of the press in New York city.
Some of that press have honored me by its as
saults and debased itself by its open false
hoods. 1 have been charged with complicity
with men who never supported me for any
thing and with whom I never had any rela
tions. Failing to control me in personal and
sometimes corrupt matters, vindictive lies
have been invented and published. I
have the merit (in my own judg
ment) of being tilde to say “no” when
f am asked to do what I believe to he wrong.
I love on the other hand to go to any extent
to do any honest thing to please or accommo
date a friend. Allow me to say that Ido not
expect any personal sacrifices that can he
made by atiy individuals will help the Repub
lican party to success next year, even though
they are made to please a dictatorial, vin
dictive .and demoralizing, not to say corrupt
press, unless the press is taught that onlv by
fair amt honest treatment of men it can com
mand the confidence of the public. The
posing in the role of reformers by some of the
would-be Republican editors has bred disgust
of the press by nearly all good people in the
eonntry.”
Mr. l’lielps, in acknowledging tlie receipt
of the above letter, says that he would like to
publish it. except that he thiuks the allusions
to the press unfortunate and unnecessary,
and he invites Mr. Keifer to visit him at his
home. In reply to Mr. Phelps’ re
mark about all allusions to the
press, Mr. Keifer says: “In my
references to the press I should have given
the names of editors who. swollen with self
importance, envy, and vanity, give character
to it. They are, however. Individuals, anil
the public should understand that what they
say in their debased sheets is at least only the
printed emanation of a man.” He regrets’that
he can not accept Phelps’ invitation to visit
him.
Ex-Spcakcr Keifer will undoubtedly re
ceive the complimentary vote of the Republi
cans for Speaker. Judge Kelley has no idea of
contesting fur the empty honor. Keifer is of
the opinion that Cox’s support will go to Car
lisle after the first ballot.
The Senate Committee on Rules was in ses

Dial* With 24 Hours.
Washington, Nov. 30.—Since the
adoption of the standard time in this
country, about four hundred applications
have been filed with the Patent Office for
clock dials and other devices intended to
present 2-t hours in a convenient manner
and without unduly crowding the figures
together. A large number of these ap
plications have been rejected by the Pa
tent Office on evidence found in’a musty

possessed a watch made in the year 1547,
irpon the dial of which appeared the hours
from 1 to 24 arranged in two concentric
circles.

ONE MAN TWICE HANGED.
THE ROPE BREAKS AT THE
WORTH COUNTY EXECUTION.
West Revived and Finally Dies Game
After an Hour’s Delay—The Original
Rope Forgotten and the Frail One
Twisted on the Spot—Hanging in Other
States.
Ty Ty, Ga., Nov. 30.—Ambrose West,
colored, was hanged three-quarters of a
mile west of Isabella to-day at 1:15 o’clock.
He rode from the railroad to the place of
execution without showing any signs of
emotion, He was smoking a cigar before
reaching the gallows throughout the
three-quarters of a mile, and only relin
quished it at the foot of the gibbet.
Owing to the failure of the rope to ar
rive, Sheriff Holton improvised one out of
three very small ropes. This was adjust
ed and the prisoner placed upon the drop.
A short prayer was offered by Rev. J. A.
Carv, colored, of Albany, Ga, The pris
oner refused to make any statement. At
a quarter past 12 o’clock the drop fell, the
rope broke near the cross beam and the
prisoner fell to the ground. In fifteen
minutes he was resuscitated and
spoke freely until another rope was
procured. lie said in substance
that he had been persuaded to commit the
murder, that he only struck James Mon
roe one blow; that Ike Mathews struck
the blow that killed him; that he was
over-persuaded by those who pretended
to lie his friends, and that they went to
the court house and swore falsely against
him, and that he whs ’ over
persuaded by Bob Brent, Ike
Matthews and Henrv Hayward to
commit the murder. At 1 o’clock the
prisoner was assisted up the gallows
steps, the noose was placed around his
r.eek the second time, and he then said:
“I tell you all I’ve tried to be ready to
meet God. I want you all to meet me in
heaven. Paul said, ‘Let every man be
’suaded by his own ’pinion.’ I let others
’suade me and I’ve got to die. I
don’t know how old 1 ain. When
I go now I hope the breath will
leave me. 1 hope to go to God.
I wanted my brother to be here. Tell him
to try and meet me in Heaven. I have
been praying to God to take my sins
away, and 1 feel that thev are forgiven.
Don’t none of you do like I done, 1 ask
you for the Lord’s sake.”
Rev. C. M. Knighton, colored, then as
cended the gallows and ottered up a short
prayer, at the conclusion of which Sheriff
Holton drew the black cap over the pris
oner’s face, and at 1:15 o’clock the drop
teli and West was launched into etertiity.
lie fell live feet and broke his neck. In fif
teen minutes Dr. It. T. Kendrick and Dr.
T. W. Tison pronounced life extinct, and
the body was cut down and turned over
to the negroes, who buried it.
This is the first hanging which has ever
taken place in Worth county, and was
witnessed by about 1,200 people, about
half of whom were negroes. A number
of ladies also witnessed the hanging.
There was not the slightest disturbance,
and all seemed relieved when the horrible
spectacle was ended.
THE CRIME.
Ou or about the 17th of September last
Ambrose West, a negro aged 18 years,
waylaid and killed James Monroe, a negro
on the plantation of Col. J. Early Billays,
in the Fourteenth district of this
county. There seemed to have been
an old grudge between them,
but of what character was not
revealed in the trial. West stood behind
a gate post, and, with a maul in his hand,
awaited Monroe. It was a moonlight
night. When Monroe opened the gate to
passAVest struck him on the head with
the maul, felling him to the ground and
kicking him senseless. He then struck
hint several times again, crushing the
skull with each blow, and kill
ing him instantly. He then
left and was pursued by the negroes on
the plantation, brought back and held un
til the Sheriff arrived. He was then con
voyed to the Albany jail, from whence he
was brought to Isabella and tried at the
October term of court. He was ably de
fended, but the evidence was conclusive,
and the jury, after receiving the Judge’s
charge, retired and in aboat an hour
brought in a verdict of guilty of murder,
and he was sentenced to be hanged to
day.
Isabella, the scene of the execution, is
five miles distant from Ty Ty, and the
News and its enterprising correspondent,
the editor of the Worth County Star, are
under joint obligations to Dr. 5. O. Ham
mond for the courtesy of a swift drive,
which greatly facilitated the expedition
with which the dispatch was filled at the
Western Union telegraph office.
A Louisianna Hanging.
Shreveport, La., Nov. 30.— Richmond
Stuart, colored, was hanged to-day for the
murder of his w T ife, in the presence of
fully 4,000 people, mostly colored. Many
colored people came from places hun
dreds of miles distant. Stuart mounted
the scaftold firmly, leading in prayer and
giving out a hymn himself, and asking
those present to join in. He proclaimed
his innocence. The trap was sprung at
1:25 o’clock, and Stuart was pronounced
dead in ten minutes afterwards. The fall
was eight feet. His neck was broken
and only one or two nervous twitches
were observed after the drop fell. Just
before the hanging Stuart called his
cousin to the gallows, and bidding him
good-bye directed that his body be burled
on the Egypt plantation, where he was
born. Everything passed off quietly and
orderly.

Ouestions which arc Expected to Ex
pose the Route of His Flight and Uis
Object.
Washington, Nov. 30.—1 t. T. Merrick,
ot the counsel for the government, in the
proceedings against ex-Senator Spence”
for contempt of court, to-day filed bis in
terrogatories, addressed to the defendant,
with the Clerk of the Court. They tiro
more than fifty iu number, and are de
signed to draw out the full story of (he
ex-Senator’s wanderings since the sub
poena was served upon him during the
star route trials. He is asked with re
gard to every supposed stopping place on
bis way from Washington to Leadville,
and what was the length of his stay
and his business in each place.
In the same way he is
traced interrogatorily back to New York,
city, thence to Watertown, N. Y., to Can
ada, and finally to Europe. The state
ments alleged to have been made by him,
and published in the form of an interview
while the ex-Senator was in Canada, are
made the subjects of inquiry. These
are to the effect that he did not
intend to be a witness in the star
route cases, and that he wished to see if
Col. Bliss could catch him. He is also
asked if he told Robert Bowles, the pro
prietor of the American Reading Room,
in London, that he was in England for the
purpose of keeping away from the star
route trials. No iuquines are made with
respect to his knowledge of star route
matters, the subject of present proceed
ings being merely contempt ot court. The
defendant has four days within which to
file his reply.
Saloon Keepers Victorious.
New York, Nov. 30.—A number of
liquor dealers, who have been convicted of
violating the excise law, were arraigned
in court to-day. They were arrested for
selling liquor without a license under
the old law, which revokes the license
under which the offender conducted his
business, whether or not the excise
board had taken action in the matter. The
Magistrate declined to construe the law
in the way the police did, and held that
as their licenses had not been annulled
by the excise board, whose province
alone it was to annul them, they were in
nocent of the charge preferred. He ac
cordingly discharged the men.

KILLED HER TYVO CHILDREN.
The Baltimore Mother’s Life Also
Despaired of by Her Family.
Baltimore, Nov. 30. — About noon to
day Mrs. Riall, a married woman, living
on Biddle street, cut the throats of her
two girl children, one aged 4 years and the
other 18 months, and then cut her own
throat. Both the children soon died, and
the mother, though yet alive, is not ex
pected to survive. She says that she does
not want to live. Domestic infelicity was
the cause. The family occupies a good
position. Mrs. Riall is about 28 years old.
Early this morning the mother of Mrs.
Riall stopped at her room and learned
from her daughter that she did not feel
well. Later she called again, when Mrs.
Riall asked for a cup of coffee. Her
mother thought she detected the smell of
gas, but Mrs. Riail said that it was a
mistake. The door was locked, and she
refused to open it. Mrs. Marsh, the
mother of Mrs. Riall, became alarmed,
and the police were notified, aud an
officer went to the house. Mrs. Riall still
refused to open the door, and it was
broken open. Mrs. Riall was found stand
ing in the middle of the room in her night
dress, the blood running from her throat.
Her little children were both dead, lying
on the bed. She had cut all
the arteries and veins in
the left wrist of each and they soon bled
to death. Mrs. Riall when discovered
could not speak bnt with a pencil wrote
that she did not want to live. Her hus
band is a traveling salesman and was ab
sent from borne when the tragedy was en
acted. Mrs. Riall has never shown any
evidence of insanity, but{complained very
much because of the frequent absences ot
her husband from home. She is still alive
to-night, but there is no probability that
she can recover.

An Editor's Testimonial.
A. M. 5 aughan, editor of the Greenwich
“/feriew,” Greenwich, 0., writes: “Last
January I met with a very severe acci
dent, caused by a runaway horse. I used
almost every kind of salve to heal the
wounds, turned to running sores,
but found nothing to do me any good till I
was recommended Henry’s Carbolic Salve.
I bought a box and it helped me at once,
and at the end of two months I was com
pletely well. It is the best salve.
THE TRIAL OF O’DONNELL.
CAREY’S SOX PLACED ON THE
WITNESS STAND.
His Testimony Conflicts with that Pre
viously Given-He is Not Abuslied,
However—Mrs. Carey’s Evidence Given
—Further Proceedings in the Case.
London, Nov. 30.—The trial of Patrick
O Donnell for the murder of James Carey
l>egan at 1 o’clock this morning, before
Judge George Denman, in the Okl Bailey
I olice Court. Two SheriiPs and several
Aldermen of London occupied seats upon
the bench. The room in which the trial
is being held is small and was crowded
with spectators, who included several
ladies. All awaited the opening of the
trial amid suppressed excitement. The
approaches to the court room were
thronged. No person was admitted to the
room without a ticket. Charles Russell,M.
I’., and A. M. Sullivan, Solicitor Guv ami
ltoger A. Pryor were present as counsel
for O’Donneil, and Sir Henry James, At
torney General, and Messrs. Poland and
R. S. Wright appeared for the government.
O’Donnett was brought to the dock from
the adjoining prison, surrounded by po
licemen. The prisoner seemed uncon
cerned. He stood verv erect at
first, then bowed 'his head,
clasped his hands and quietly
cast glances at his counsel and closely
watched the jurors as they were called.
After the charge had been read O’Donnell
took his seat and leaned over and whis
pered to W. Guy for a few’ moments. The
jury is a very intelligent one, and is com
posed of men of middle and mature age.
There was no excitement outside the
court house. There were but few people
there, and they were mostly of a respec
table class. A large police force was on
duty guarding the court. Charles Rus
sell, of O’Donnell’s counsel, made a de
mand that the witnesses be excluded from
the court room. The demand was granted.
The jury having sat. called the Clerk of
the Court and asked O’Donnell if he had
objection to any of them. He replied, “I
trust to my solicitor for that.”
While the jury was being completed
O’Donnell seemed amused, and exchanged
greetings with Mr. Pryor. Noire of the
jurymen were challenged. Sir Henry
James opened the case for the govern
ment. He described Carey’s departure
from England and his voyage to Cape
Town, and said that there w r as no evi
dence to prove that the prisoner embarked
on the steamer Kinfauns Castle to kill
Carey, but anew witness. Mr. Cubitt.
would testify that at Cape Town he gave
the prisoner, at his urgent request, a
rough sketch of Carey, and the prisoner
remarked upon receiving it, “I’ll shoot
him.”
The Attorney General repeated the de
tails of the murder of Carey on board the
steamer Melrose Castle, and pressed upon
the jury in concluding his address that
the act was not committed in self defense,
but was willful and premeditated mur
der. He. enjoined the jury not to allow
any feeling against Carey to prejudice
them in their consideration of the case.
O’Donnell listened closely to the address
of the Attorney General. He lias been
allowed the use of tobacco, which he
chews freely in the dock.
James Parish, the stew’ard of the steam
er Melrose Castle, repeated the evidence
he gave at the preliminary examination.
Two plans of the cabin of the Mel
rose Castle, one prepared by the
prosecution and the other by the defense,
were shown the witness, who declared
that the one offered by the defense w T as in
correct. Judge Denman examined the
later plan and rejected it.
Russell crossi'xamined the witness.
He insisted that O’Donnell was sitting
down when he fired the shots at Carev,
who stood leaning against the corner of
the cabin, two yards awav. Carey might
easily have reached O’Donnell, but he
made no gesture to seize him. The wit
ness saw no pistol other than O’Donnell’s.
He did not see young Carey go to his
father’s berth, and onlv knew’ by hearsav
that his father’s pistol'was found on the
boy.
There was much discussion between the
counsel concerning the correctness of the
plans of the cabin of the Melrose Castle,
ail of which the Judge declared to be
faulty. At one time Judge Denman went
into the witness box and asked Mr. Par
ish to explain the position of the tables
and seats. The witness said that all the
plans were incorrect. O’Donnell appeared
to be greatly interested in this episode,
watching the Judge narrowly. Judge
Denman cautioned Parish to be careful in
giving replies to inquiries, especially re
garding his position when the shots were
tired.
Chas. Jones, the boatswain of the Mel
rose Castle, was called to the witness
stand, and rehearsed the testimony which
he gave at the examination. He w-as
almost sure but refused to swear, that
O’Donnell’s words were, “I did not do it.”
Judge Denman examined O’Donnell’s re
volver and placed it by his side on his
desk.
There was a dead silence in the court
room when Thomas Carey, the son of
James Carey, stepped into the witness
box. He gave his evidence promptlv and
coolly, but was sometimes told to speak
more distinctly. Occasionally he would
consider a question well before replying,
and when he failed to understand an in
quiry he would shake his head.
Judge Denman questioned him in re
gard to his father’s position when he was
shot, and the Judge was especially assid
uous in taking notes of young Carey’s
evidence. When the bag and revolver of
James Carev were produced in court and
placed in the hands of a witness to
identify. he weighed the weapon
and looked dowu the barrel. O’Don
nell scrutinized young Carey
narrowly, when he said' that he was not
positive whether O’Donnell, after the
shooting, said: “Shake hands, Mrs. Carey,
1 w-as sent to do it,” or “I had to do it.”
He further testified: “I went for father’s
revolver and kept it in my pocket, because
father was unable tc use it.” The court
then adjourned for lunch. Young Carey
was ordered to remain in the court room.
The crowd outside the court continually
increased, many of the rougher class
mingling with it.
After recess young Carey concluded his
diiect testimony. On being cross ex
amined he said that he had stated at the
Bow street examination that Mr. Parish
came from the cabin when the first shot
was fired. That statement he now said
was untrue. He had not then understood
the question. The witness was severely
questioned concerning other inconsis
tencies between his present evidence and
that which he gave at the Bow
street examination. The evidence was
all directed to testing the truthfulness
of the minor details of the storv for the
purpose of affording means of judging
the credibility of the main tacts. The
frequency with which the witness con
tradicted himself caused much amuse
ment in court and the spectators appear
ed to be amazed at his unabashed de
meanor and effrontery. He declared that
O’Donnell fired his revolver with his left
hand although, other witnesses had stated
that he fired it with his right hand, anil
the witness finally admitted that he was
in doubt as to which band was used.
He acknowledged that he has told
Mr. Beecher, the second officer of
the steamer, that he took his
lather’s pistol to keep it out of his moth
er’s way. Upon being asked how’ this
statement agreed with his previous state
ment that he got it for his father, he de
clared that both of the statements were
true. He denied that he had told Walter
Young at Port Elizabeth that his father
had his pistol when he was killed. Walter
Y’oung was here brought into court, when
the witness said that he didn’t recollect
him. Carey denied that Young had asked
him why he didn’t kill O’Donnell with his
father’s pistol at the time of the murder,
and that he replied, “I ran for the pistol’
but it wasn’t there. Father had it.”
Mrs. Carey, the w idow of the murdered
man was sworn. She wras dressed in
deep mourning, and spoke in a subdued
voice. She repeated the testimonv she
gave at the preliminary examination. She
reiterated that O’Donnell exclaimed that
he was sent to do it, The cross examina
tion of Mrs, Carey was very brief and no
new evidence was elicited.
Robert Thomas Cubitt said that he was
a passenger on the steamer Kinfauns
Castle with Power. He was unaware
that “Power” was “James Carey” until
they arrived at Cape Town. He was
there shown a supplement of the weekly
Freeman's Journal, which contained a
portrait of Carey and accounts of his con
nection Nvith the Irish Invlncibles. He
recognized the portrait as that of
“Power.” He showed the portrait to
O’Donnell, who remarked, “I’ll shoot
him.” O’Donnell asked for and the wit
ness gave him the portrait. On cross ex
amination Cubitt said when O’Donnell
remarked “l’il shoot him” that he spoke
in a pleasant manner, and the witness at
tached no importance to the remark at
the time.
A number of other w-itnesses testified,
but their testimony was mainly a repeti
tion of former testimony at the examina
tions. The witnesses foj the prosecution
closed and the court adjourned. O’Don
nell was calm and composed throughout
the day s proceedings. Roger A. Prvor
was frequently consulted and made
several suggestions to the prisoner's
counsel. The entire proceedings were
free from any excitement.

Dispatches AVhlch Convey an Idea of the
Condition of Mercantile Matters.
Pittsburg, I’a., Nov. 30.— The Iron
Age this week publishes a number of let
ters from nail manufacturers, giving their
views on the present condition and future
prospects of the nail trade. A member of
the Western Nail Association says that
manufacturers will control the produc
tion by suspensions. If a stoppage of
five weeks will not effect the object,
another shut down will fol
low. Another manufacturer considers
the outlook for 1884 decidedly
gloomy, while an Eastern manufacturer
expresses an opinion that the great in
crease of factories was caused by the
strike in Pittsburg two years ago. as dur
ing that time a boom was created, result
ing in the organization of many new
plants. The President of the Cobbs Iron
and Natl Company of Aurora, lnd., says
that the nail trade is undergoing a com

scrap, by which nails are manufactured
for 50 cents less per keg than from pig
metal.

said that his individual loss in effects,
scenery and manuscripts will be between
$15,000 and $20,000, and his loss in profits
by the interruption at this season may
reach $50,000 and exceed it. Financially,
he said, he was all right, and that the fire
would not cripple him. Probably he
would obtain this ground and rebuild as
quickly as possible, and in the meantime
get the Academy of Music or some other
temporary stage for the season. The

“Fox’s Rook of Martyrs”
Contains the history and pictures of hun
dreds of people who were stoned, burned,
beaten, pulled to pieces and otherwise
tortured on account of their consientious
convictions as to belief and duty. They
suffered incredible torment and have como
down to the present age as martyrs. It
is not now customary to torture people
thus, but they are made martyrs by rheu
matism until they suffer almost as much
as did the heroes of the martyr ages.
There was no relief for the old-time mar
tyrs, but there is happy relief for those
who suffer from rheumatism. Cashier
Charles F. Morrill, of Manchester, N. H.,
suffered terribly from frequent attacks of
this painful disease, but he lias been
cured. He writes: “I was a martyr to
rheumatism, and, although I tried many
other remedies, 1 found nothing that re
lieved me like Perry Davis’ Pain Killer.”
Other rheumatic martyrs may wisely
take the hint.

ANNUAL REPORT OF SECRE
TARY TELLER.
Recommendations Respecting Indians—
Figures About Pensions—What the
Patent Office is Doing—Federal Aid
for Schools—The Utah Commission
ers.
Washington, Nov. 30.—The report of the
Commissioner of ludian Affairs show that
there has been a very considerable improve
ment among the various Indian tribes, with
but little dissatisfaction anil but one out
break, and that among the Apaches of Ari
zona. It is believed that it is quite possible,
with a wise and judicious treatment of the
Indian question, to prevent the recurrence of
hostilities lie tween the Indian and his white
neighbors that have marked nearly every
year of our history.
In my former report I urged the necessity
of putting at least one-half of the children of
school age in manuiil-hibor &ch and keep
ing them there until they should be suffi
ciently instructed in the Industrial arts to
support themselves. It has been demonstrated
during the last year that even more than that
proportion of the children can be put in
manual-labor schools, if suitable appropria
tions are made for that, purpose. Accommo
dation should be provided for at least 10,000
children iu addition to those now in manual
labor schools, which would secure to about
one-half of the children of school age the ad
vantages of at least a partial education,
vvhue under present appropriations only
about one-fourth have any school advantages
at all, three-fourths growing up in ignorance
and vice.
The total expense of the Indian service can
not be less than $5,500,000 annually, and such
expense must increase instead of diminishing
if the Indian is not made to do something to
wards supporting himself. During the year
there lias been paid to Indians, iti cash, about
$200,000 as interest on indebtedness to them.
The practice of paying cash to the Indians is
a pernicious one, for as a general rule the
money is expended for useless, if not injurious,
articles aud ought to In* discontinued.
The Commissioner of Indian Affairs recom
mends that a fund be placed at the disposal
of ihe department to pav the fees of home
stead entries by Indians'. In tins I heartily
concur. I think when an Indian will settle
on land, intending to make it his home, he
ought to be encouraged in so doing.
THK REPOKT OF THE COMMISSIONER
of the General Land Office shows that the dis
posal of public lands under all acts of Con
gress aggregates 19,430,032.80 acres, of which
amount 339,235.91 acres were Indian lands,
and 1,999,335.71 acres railroad sections under
various acts of Congress. The total cash
receipts in connection with the disposal of the
public lands amounted to $11,713,-
883 70, of whiti amount $625,104 27 was
on account of the sale of ladian
lands. The increase in receipts for the
year 1883 over that of the year 1882 w as $3,319,-
3f!7 (Ml, and over that of 1881 $0,305,079 34; pre
emption and private entries, 1,465,005.49 acres;
timber culture entries, 3,110,930.23 acres; the
number of homestead entries 56,665, embrac
ing 8,171,1*14.38 acres. Not included in the
lands disposed of, and in addition thereto,
were 47,933 pre-emption filings, 4.999 soldiers*
declaratory statements, ana 10,232 miscella
neous lilings, these throe items embracing in
tlie aggregate 8,000,000 acres.
It is earnestly to lie desired that some means
of adjustment of these railroad-land grants,
as a whole, be provided, or some method de
vised which shall, under cover of legislative
authority, not onlv remedy the evil suggest
ed, but enable tfiis department to reach a
finality as to the titles to be conveveil to these
corporations at the earliest practicable mo
ment, anil thus relieve an anxious and ex
cited public feeling, already sufficiently
aroused upon the various difficult anil com
plicated questions connected with the admin
istration of this momentous and important
branch of public affairs.
THE REPORT OF THE COMMISSIONER OF PEN
SIONS
show’s that at the close of the last fiscal year
there were 303,058 pensioners.
There were added to the pension roll dur
ing the year the Dantes of 38,162 new pension
ers, amt 796 whose names had been previously
dropped from the pension roll were restored,
making the total number added to
the roll during the year 38,958, be
ing an excess over the number added
the previous year of 10,645. During
the year 20,997 pensioners were dropped from
the rolls for various eauses, leaving a net in
crease over the rolls of 17,961. The number of
persons dropped from the rolls included tho
names of those who have been carried on the
rolls after death until final settlement aud pay
ment of the amount tine such pensioners.
The average annual value of each pension at
the close of the year is $lO5 18. and the aggre
gate value of all pensions is $32,245,192 43, an
increase over the valne for the previous
year of $2,904,090 81. The total amount paid
out for pensions during the > ear was $60,064.-
009 23. The total number of claims filed
for disabilities incurred while in the service
amounts to 496,721, of which 245,210 have been
allowed; and by widows on account of deaths
chargeable to the service 312,029. of which
206,716 have been allowed. The total number of
claims filed since 1861 is 886,137, of w hich num
ber 510,938 have been allowed. During the
same period there has been paid for pensions,
with cost of disbursement, the sum of $621,-
073,297 60. The Commissioner says:

BUREAU OF EDUCATION.
The Commissioner renews his recommenda
tion that some measure of Federal aid be ex
tended to public primary education, based on
the number ol illiterates reported by the
tenth census, as a measure of immense im
portance to the present anil the future of the
nation.
In this recommendation of the Commissioner
I fully concnr. In a number of the States
adequate provisions for the education of
children of all classes has not been made. It
is hardly worth while to inquire why this has
not been done. The duty on the part of the
general government is the same, whether such
failure arises from causes beyond the control
of such State, or whether it arises from indif
ference to the wants of the people.
THE UTAH BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS.
The board reports also that at the August
election the elections were conducted in a
quiei and orderly way. The vote in August
last was: Mormons. 29,708; Liberals, or anti-
Mormons, 1,453. This last vote, however, does
not appear to represent the real strength of
the Liberal party, for in November, 1882, that
vote was 4,884.
The board re|iort that tho number of plural
marriages has decreased since the passage of
the act under which the board is acting.
Ten suits have been brought against the
members of the board to test the validity of
the act of Congress. Some provision should
lie made to defray the expense of the defense
of the board in these suits.
