At Atlanta Monday the waterworks com
mittee of the Council reported in favor of the
proposition made by the Atlantic and Great
Western i anal Company, to build a canal
from the Chattahoochee river to the city. The
projiosition of the canal company is that when
the company shall have constructed their ca
nal to the city, the Council shall turn over to
them the present system of water works upon
tlie condition that water shall lie supplied to
the city of good quality at prices not exceed
ing the charges now made, and that it shall he
distributed by gravitation instead of bv the
present system. The Council will not ha’ve to
give a cent to the enterprise until it is com
pleted. Tlie proposition of the company will
furnish nut only an excellent quality of water
f..r domestic u-es, tires an 1 sewerage, but will
supply about iWO.uoo horse power between At
lanta and tlie river. The city lias absolutely
no system f sewerage now. and a competent
engineer says that it would cost two million
dollars to carry out the present system, and
then it would not he good. The canal com
pany has a magnificent sewerage plan already
devised, and everything ready to begin yvork
a--oou as the Council comes to terms. It is
-aid that it will take three years to build .the
canal, which will be sixty linles long, tapping
the i hattahoochee above Gainesville.
A reminder that Georgia was once the home
of a race of giants is thus put in the Athens
/tanner- Watchman : “Mr. J. B.Tootncr yester
day received a Iwx from Mr. Hazleton, who is
on a y i-it-to Cartersville. The box contained
several heads made of bone, and gave an in
teresting nceount of the opening of a large
Indian mound near that town, by a commit
tee of scientists sent out from the Smithso
nian Institute. After removing the dirt for
-ome di-#ince a layer of large flagstones was
tound, which evidently had been dressed In
band, and showed that the men who quarried
this rock understood tiieir business. These
stone- were removed, when in a kind of vault
beneath them the skeleton of a giant that
measured 7 feet 2 inches, was found. His liaU
was coarse and jet black, and hung to the
wai.-t, the brow lining ornamented with a cop
per crown. Tlie skeleton was remark
ably Well preserved and taken from the
vault intact. Near this skeleton were
found the bodies of several children
of various sizes. The remains of the latter
were covered with beads made of bone of sonic
kind. Fpon removing these tin* bodies were
found to be enclosed in a net yvork made of
straw urreeds, anil beneath this was a cover
ing of the -kin of some animal. In* fact, the
Is idles had been prepared somewhat after tlie
manner uf mummies, and will doubtless throw
new light on the history uf a people who rear- *
ed llic-e mounds. Upon the stones that cov
ered the vault were carved inscriptions, and
if deciphered will probably lift the veil that
has enshrouded the history of the race of
giants that undoubtedly at one time inhabited
llii- cont l pent. All the relics were carefully
packed and forwarded to the Smithsonian In
stitute, and are said to be the most interesting
collection ever found in America. The ex
plorers arc now at yvork on another mound in
Bartow county, and before their return home
will visit various sections of Georgia, where
antiquities are found. On the Oconee river,
in Green county, just above Powell’s mills,
arc several large mounds, one of them very
tall and precipitous.’’
A young man, giving his name as Frederick
W illiam Browne, has put in an appearance at
Atlanta, claiming to be a nephew of the late
Gen. Win. M. Browne, and announcing his
intention, in company with other alleged
heirs, of considering wtiat steps they will
take in an effort to secure asliare of the estate.
When the will was offered for probate in
Clark county Monday the stranger
requested that action on the will
lie (Histponed for two niontlts iu order to give
the Itcir.-time to prepare to secure tiieir al
leged l ight-. The death of tins distingu shed
Georgian ha- brought about several surprises.
Hi- wife died several years ago and lie was
left alone in life. When he died no will could
be found, and Judge llowcil Cobb was ap
pointed administrator on the estate, which
amounted to about $7>,00() in value. About the
time tin* administrator was winding up the
affairs it was announeed that a will had been
found. An examination of the will showed
that it was executed in !87:i while General
Browne was in Memphis, and that cx-l’resi
dent Jefferson Davis and Chief Justice James
Jackson were appointed executors. As the
estate was small, and as it was about already
wound up. the executors after consultation
decided to decline the trust aud let the
administrator proceed with the disposition of
the property. The newly found claimant sav s
that hi- father and Gen. Browne were broth
er-. hut that liis father was dead; that he
liad not heard of the death of Gen. Browne
until almut six weeks ago, and that was by
the merest accident. 11 is eye chanced to fall
upon a paragrapii in the Chicago Inter-Ocean
making some reference to the will of Gen.
Browne. He at once began an investigation
of the matter. Mr. Browne stated that he
had four sisters who would share equally with
him tin* estate. There are also heirs at
Browne Hall, Ireland,and perhaps oneortwo
other-, lb -ays that the last communication
he had with hi- uncle was in April, 187!*. The
young man’s family was then at Athens,
Ohio, and expected a visit from the General,
but moving to Chicago missed him. Gen.
Browne's brother died in 1861. Tlie General
was a relative of the Marquis of Sligo and of
Lord Orninore. It is not known what action
will be taken in reference to the will. Gen.
Browne’s property was not willed to his rela
tive-, hut was left partially to Mr. Davis and
others of his friends. It was generally be
lieved in the state that Gen. Browne liad no
relatives in this Country. The present claim
ant hails, lie says, from Chicago.

AT THE NATION’S CAPITAL
THE LIMITS OF YELLOWSTONE
PARK TO BE EXTENDED.
A Ouibble of the Appropriation
for the Senate's Contingent Fund—
>sB,loo for Mississippi River Surveys—
Consideration of tlie Naval Appropria
tion Bill Not Vet Concluded.
Washington, March s.—To-day the
Chair laid before the Senate a bill extend
ing the limits ot Yellowstone Park, and
after a debate, which was participated in
by Messrs. Vest, Ingalls, Dawes, McMil
lan and Harrison, the bill was passed.
It fixes the boundaries of the park by lines
which, as Mr. Vest explained, add some
2,000 square miles to the 3,:100 square
miles of tlie park as heretofore established
by law. The bill places the park under
the general legal jurisdiction of the Ter
ritory of Montana so far as not inconsist
ent with the provisions of the bill, pro
vides for the protection of game, the care
of the park, its survey, the building of
roads and bridges, the leasing ot sites for
houses of entertainment, etc*.
The Senate then, with but slight debate,
passed the hill authorizing the Postmaster
General to lease buildings lor post offices
of the first, second and third classes at
reasonable rates for terms not to exceed
ten years.
The Senate next took up as unfinished
business the bill reported from tlie Com
mittee on Foreign Relations providing for
the exercise of tlie jurisdiction conferred
upou the United States in places outside
of their dominion. While this
bill was under discussion, Mr. Pendle
ton speaking at the time, Ml. Sherman
asked and obtained unanimous consent
to have read a message which had just
been received from the House, announcing
agreement by the House to the Senate
joint resolution appropriating $lO,OOO for
the Senate contingent fund. On the read
ing of the message it was found that the
concurrence of the House had been given,
coupled with a proviso that the money
should be used for no investigation other
than such as had already been ordered.
Mr. Butler and others, on hearing this
condition,'at once objected to the present
consideration of the subject, and it went
over. Mr. Butler said that the condition
was one which the House had no right to
make. The interrupted debate was re
sumed and consumed the remainder of
the session until an executive session was
ordered, after which the Senate ad
journed.
IN the HOI’S*:.
In the House to-day, on motion of Mr.
Blanchard, of Louisiana, a bill was passed
making an appropriation of $B,lOO to sup
ply the deficiency in the amount required
for expenditures to June 30, 1884, for the
examinations and surveys required bv
the acts of March 3, 18oj, aud June 19,
1878, to ascertain the depth of the water
and width of channel at the south pass
of the Mississippi river, and to gauge the
waters of the Mississippi river and its
tributaries.
Mr. Randall, of Pennsylvania,
from the Committee on Ap
propriations reported back the Senate
joint resolution for the aditition of $lO,OOO
to the contingent fund of the Senate, with
an amendment providing that the sum
shall only be available for the expenses
of investigations heretofore ordered. The
amendment was adopted and the joint
resolution was passed.
Mr. Kilts, of Louisiana, from the same
committee, reported back adversely bills
for the relief of the sufferers by the over
flow in the lower Mississippi valiov and Iy
the cyclone in North Carolina, and they
were laid upon the table. lie reported
favorably a resolution requesting the Sec
retary of War to furnish the House
from time to time with information
of the progress of the floods in the valley
of the Mississippi and report if at any
time in his judgment there exists such
suffering as to justify measures of relief
on the part of Congress. It was adopted.
Mr. Robertson, of Kentucky, from the
Committee on Elections, reported a reso
lution unseating T. Luna, delegate trout
New Mexico, and seating in his place T.
Manzanares. It was adopted. Mr. Man
zanares then appeared at the bar of the
Hfiuse and took the oath of office.
The Committee on Public Lands re
ported a bill to repeal section 22 of the act
incorporating the Texas Pacific Railway
Company and to declare a forfeiture of
the land grant therein made. The land
grant forfeited by this bill is that to the
New Orleans, Baton Rouge and Vicks
burg Railroad Company. It was put on
the House calendar.
The House then went into committee of
the whole on the naval appropriation bill,
the nendtr.tr amendment being that offered
by Mr. McMillin. ot Tennessee, reducing
the number of Captains to 30 and the
number of commanders to 50, and pro
i iding that no more promotions shall be
made to those grades until the numbers
are reduced below the number mentioned.
The amendment was lost. .
Mr. Calkins moved to strike out the
provision prohibiting promotion in vari
ous grades in the line and staff'of the
navy until such grades shall he reduced
to the numbers fixed by the naval act of
1.882, and the amendment adopted yester
day reducing the staff' corps was agreed
to by a vote of 88 to 65.
No other amendments were adopted.
The committee rose without completing
consideration of the bill, and the House
adjourned.
THE CENSUS ARMY ROUTED.
Lack of Funds the Enemy—The Pres
ent Condition of the Work.
Washington, March s.—The appro
priation l'or the maintenance of the Cen
sus Bureau having been exhausted, that
bureau will be practically closed after
this week. Of the 108 employes ol the
bureau, all have been suspended except
the Superintendent, chief clerk and one
ordinary clerk. Superintendent Seaton
is confined to his house by illness. A state
ment showing the present condition of the
census publications has been
laid before the House Com
mittee on Appropriations, from
which it appears that the second volume
of the Report on Cotton would have been
issued within a few days. Volume 7of
the Report on Wealth, Debt, and Taxa
tion is in type stereotyped, and could have
been issued in three weeks. The matter
for volume 8, a report by Prof. Sargent, of
Harvard College, on Forestry, is at the
government printing office. The illustra
tions are completed and the work will
make a volume of about 1,000 quarto
pages. The order of subjects beyond vol
ume 8 had not been definitely arranged,
but probably would have been as follows:
No 9 (two volumes). Reporton Building

DORSEY AND JAMES.
The Star Itouter Promises to Make it
Warm for His Enemy.
IV ashington, March s.—lt was devel
oped to-day in ex-Postmaster General
James-’ examination before the Springer
committee that Mr. James has the most
bitter Jiatred for ex-Senator Dorsey.
During the reading of his statement prior
to cross-examination Mr. James displayed
considerable feeling and grew very nerv
ous. He says that Dorsey is in
deed a strange character; that he
boasted and displayed great effrontery
aud pleaded for mercy alternately. Dor
sey’s friends say to-night in commenting
upon Mr. James’ arraignment of him that
SAVANNAH, THURSDAY, MARCH 6, 1884.
he will cotne to the front with an answer
! to every innuendo and charge. They say
j that Mr. James was Dorsey’s enemy
; before he was made Postmaster General',
! and that when the latter demanded the
j former’s removal, and the demand made
such a profound impression upon Presi
dent Garfield, so much so that the Presi
dent came near requesting Mr. .James’
removal the latter became exasperated at
the former and began pursuing him and’
his friends upon personal grounds.
Dorsey’s friends say further that this will
reopen the star route scandal also, and
will bring forth some livid information
from the accused. They complain be
cause the committee permitted Mr. James
to make an assault upon the character of
Dorsey by drawing inferences, submitting
arguments which in no sense constituted
testimony, and denouncing him upon
j general principles.

Demanding American Interference.
Baltimore, March s.—The Sun to
morrow will publish the following special
from Rome, Italy, dated to-day:
“The German, Austrian. Spanish,
French and other Ambassadors are re
ceiving instructions to confer with Signor
Mancini, the Italian Minister of Foreign
Affairs, regarding European co-operation
with a view to demanding the IV ashington
government to initiate legislation against
avowed dynamite emissaries. Some of
the Ambassadors approved the reviving
of stringent passports lor all voyagers
from America. Others say that the gov
ernment at Washington is best able to
adjust the remedy without European in
terposition.
“Signor Mancini recognizes the difficul
ty of the authorities at Washington
inaugurating legal surveillance. He also
points on the English protection to foriegn
emissaries who legally enjoyed immunity
from arrest when English interests were
unmolested. The same Ambassador says
that while England fostered revolution
ary incendiaries regardless of disasters to
foreign nations, she now complains only
when sii# herself is damaged. Other Am
bassadors take the ground that moral
suasion is the only remedy for socialistic
evils.”
THE TRAIL IN FRANCE.

Moser.”

Law Differently than the Chicagoan.
Louisville, Ky., March s.—lndict
ments against J. J. Douglas, manager of
the Henry County Lottery, were quashed
in the United States court to-day by
Judge Barr. Mr. Douglas was charged
with having sent lottery matter through
the mail in violation of the postal laws.
The indictments were worded precisely
like those upon which the lottery men
were convicted in the Chicago court.
Judge Barr ruled that Congress, in pass
ing the law, contemplated that all lottery
matter be non-mailable whether the lot
tery be legal or fraudulent, but he said
that Congress could not decide on the
moral character of the lottery,
although it could regulate the postal
laws. He said that the indictments
did not allege that there was a deposit in
a mail box of the post office by lottery em
ployes. He held that there should be an
allegation of such a deposit, and ordered
the indictments quashed. After the de
cision was rendered Mr. Douglas insti
tuted suit against the Post Office In
spector who caused his arrest for SIO,OOO
damages.

GOOD-BYE TO GOULD.
The Pilot’s Story of How the “Alalan
ta” Crossed the liar.
Mr. Jay Gould, the mysterious million
aire, says yesterday’s Charleston Neics
ami Courier, lias silently steamed away.
He departed from that city Tuesday morn
ing after a brief sojourn of about three
days and three nights. He went away as
quietly as he came, and it is fair to pre
sume that not more than half the people
in Charleston know to this moment that
he has gone out from among us and, per
haps, forever. While Mr. Gould was here
be spent most of the time in his yacht,
and. although he came to the city occa
sionally in his steam launch, he did not
mingle much with our people. Perhaps
he would have liked us better if he had
seen more of us, and no doubt the bulls
:tn d bears of Broad street could have
given him a point or two had he not
seemed so distant.- But he has gone.
Capt. J. F. Chapman, of Pilot Boat No. 13,
enjoyed the distinction of conducting the
Atalanta out to sea. but nis story of the
run down the harbor is better told in his
own words:
“We got under way about II o’clock
this morning, and went down the harbor
under slow steam. We had time to kill,
didn't know what kind of a sea we’d find
at the liar, aud calculated to go down
slow and go out at high water. We
crossed the bar about 12 o’clock and had
smooth water and a fair northeast wind.
Gould was on the bridge with me a part
ot the time, and asked me a number oi
quest ions. He seemed to be in good spirits
when I left hint at 12:30 o’clock, and ap
peared glad to get out. He said bethought
he was going to have a nice run and I
agreed with him. I saw several females
running around the deck as lively and
cheerful as you please, and they all seemed
to be in higli spirits. 1 don’t know ex
actly where Gould was going, but from
what Capt. Shackford told me I judge
they may go to St. Augustine, or, if the
weather is line, that they will proceed
right down to Key West. Gould scented
to be a very moe- man and talked very
pleasantly. I bade him adieu about 12:30
o’clock, and at that time everything on
the Atalanta was in fine condition.”
A BOY WHIPPED TO DEATH.
John Barnes, a Colored Man, Kills His
Nephew.
A Spartanburg (S. C.) special of March
3 to the New York Times, says: “John
Barnes, you’ve killed your dead sister’s
child,” was the cry which startled the
colored inmates of a house on the out
skirts of Townville, ten miles out from
Senaca, last Thursday morning before
daylight. When the inmates arrived at
the spot a most terrible sight met their
gaze. There, tied to a post with a rope
coiled around his knees, waist and neck,
was tt boy whose drooped head indicated
that he was dying. As one of the women
went to bis aid she felt his heart beat,
and calling others to be quick and unloose
hint so aid might tie rendered, he fell Into
her arms dead. The women setup a wail
peculiar to South Carolina negroes. The
body showed cuts of over an inch in depth,
strips of flesh hanging out like ribbons.
The boy’s name was John Craft. He was
but 7 years old. He was the son of
Barnes’ dead sister. When Mrs. Craft
lay oil her death-bed last summer she
begged her brother to take care of her
only child. Barnes is a hard taskmaster.
He says that when he was a boy he had
to work, and that no one should live
around him who did not work. This little
boy was forced to be at active labor for
fully sixteen out of the twenty-four hours,
and oeing but poorly fed,he found himself
unable to get up when his cruel uncle
summoned him to labor.
“You’s gwine to sleep like white folks,
is you?’’ said Karnes as he pulled the boy
out of bed and tied him up as indicated.
“I’ll show you whose "wine to be de boss?”
With a bundle of hickory switches he
began to beat the boy to death. When at
last he saw the result of what he bad
done he hastily left. Parties of whites
and blacks were organized to hunt him
up. The negroes went out with the cry
of “Let’s hang him!” and it is fortunate
lor the culprit that he fell into the hands
of white people, else he would have had a
short life, fie is now confined in Ander
son jail.
A BARNACLE OF CITY POLITICS
How a Gang of New York Politicians
Manage to Make Si 50,000 a Year.
There is one paper in New York which
is peculiarly indifferent to the public gen
erally, says a letter, and which is never in
danger of a libel suit. This is the City
Record, which is published daily by Mar
tin D. Brown. The number of copies
struck off cannot be more than a thousand,
and these are given away to the different
departments. The City Record was in
"vented as a method ol increasing the
profits of the ring, and has always been
conducted on the same system. Its profits
have been estimated at $150,000 a vear.
most of which is divided among leading
politicians. The contents are the city ad
vertisements and the transactions at the
different departments. Instead of adver
tising the contracts in a widely-circulated
sheet, the latter are inserted in the Rec
ord, and are, therefore, only seen bv those
who hang round the City Ilall and live
upon municipal patronage. This is a sam
ple ot the shams prevalent In the govern
ment of a great metropolis. Employment
on the Record is a political favor, and no
compositor can depend on his situation
unless be has City Hall influence.
Church and State in Prussia.
Berlin, March s.—The Lower House
of the Prussian Landtag has rejected, by
a vote of 200 to 152, Herr Windthorst’s
motion to repeal the law abolishing the
salaries of Catholic priests. The govern
ment was opposed to the motion, but
would not participate ill the debate for
fear of exciting party passion. The gov
ernment desired a peaceable settlement
of this question as much as the party of
the Centre, but they differed as to'the
proper means of securing it.

Sandusky, 0., March s.—Wm. McMil
lan, a farmer living near Huron, went

Thompson had no knowledge ol the quar
rel and was only making a friendly call
according to habit. McMillan escaped.

JAMES VIVIDLY PORTRAYS A
SCENE WITH GARFIELD.
The President's Victory Over Himself
in Ordering the Prosecutions—PainTul
Features of Brady’s Dismissal—Each
of the Avengers Forcing the Other to
the Task.
Washington, March 5. —Ex-Postmas-
ter General James and Ex-Attorney Gene
ral MacVeagh were examined to-day by
Mr. Springer’s committee relative to the
expenditures of the Department of Jus
tice in the prosecution of the star route
cases. Ol the committee there were pres
ent Representatives Springer, Stewart,
Poran, Crisp, Hemphill, Bowen and Mil
liken. After explaining how he gained
his first knowledge of the existence of the
star route frauds while he was Postmas
ter at New York, Mr. James gave a his
tory of the circumstances attending his
enti ance to President Garfield’s Cabinet,
as follows:
I went to Washington on the night of tiie 2d
of March, 1881, in answer to a telegraphic dis
patch from Whitelaw Reid, which I under
stood to represent Gen. Garfield's desire
IN OARFIEI.n's I’RKSKN’CE.
On the 3d i called on him, in conipanv with
Mr. Reid. Mr. ltcid said in substance, ad
dressing President Garfield, that lie had asked
me to come on as lie (President Garfield) had
desired, anil had told me that it was in refer
ence to some suggestion of tnv name for Post
master General; that I had said that if the
Treasury Department was likely to cotne to
New York I did not want to he in the wav.
and that he (Mr. Reid) had assured me that
that was now settled. President Garfield,
addressing me, said: “That is absolutely set
tled. The Treasury Department cannot go to
New t ork."
THE FACTION’S IN' NEW YORK.
Mr. Reul continuing said that he had told
me that President Garfield expected to get
on satisfactorily and without friction with
both factions in New York, and hoped that
my appointment, if made, would help to that
end, hut wished to know whether, in case
controversies should be forced upon him, he
could he sure, if I were made Postmaster
i.eneral, that my political affiliations in New
i ork would not interfere with niv hearty
support of his administration. President
Garfield said: I os, that is aliout it; and I
tlien replied: Such a contingency, iu mv
judgment, will not nrrise; but if it should, ft
I accept your nomination, I must, as a
gentleman, either be loyal to the President or
resign.
POSTAL INIQUITIES.
Gen. Garfield said, “That is satisfactory,"
and the conversation then turned to the work
ol the Post Office Department. President Gar
tiehi said that lie was afraid that there was
something very wrong in the department it
self; Lial if so he expected me to find it out

EXHIBITS OF CORRUPTION.
After describing the preliminary investiga
tions into the Department affairs", Mr. James
continued: “In the early part of
April, fortified with "facts and
figure-, laboriously and carefully col
lected, inspector Woodward and "myself
called on the President and exhibited a com
parative statement of the most corruptlv ma
nipulated star routes. H e displayed "great
surprise and wished to know if the figures
had been verified by the records, lie also
added that he had been providentially saved
from falling into a trap which had evidently
been set for him, and seemed to be
contemplating some peril which he had es
caped. lie aHked whether the papers had
been shown to the Attorney-General. Ire
pbed “No," when he requested me to call with
that official and .Mr. Woodward the next day.
In conformity with his request we called the
next afternoon and a lengthy consultation
ensued. In answer to my suggestion as to
whether it would not be wiser to institute
civil suits for the recovery of the money ob
tained through nishoncsl contracts rather
than to commence criminal proceedings
against implicated parties belaid, “No.”
A STARTLING PICTURE.
“One moment, Mr. President,” said the Attor
ney General, “consider whether or no the Post
master General is not right tiefore a final de
e sion. Remember that these proceedings
may strike men in high places; that they may
result in changing the Republican majority
in the l. nited States Senate iuto a Democratic
majority; that they may affect persons who
claim that you are under personal obligations
to them for services rendered during the last
campaign, and one person in particular who
asserts that without iiis management, you
could not have been elected. Look these
facts squarely In the face before taking
a final stand, for neither the Postmaster Gen
•natte° r m X se K will know friend or foe in this
the President walked across the room, ro
llected a moment, and said: “No. I have
sworn to execute the laws. Goahead regard
css of where or whom you hit. I direct von
both not only to probe this ulcer to tlie bot
tom, but to cut it out.”
This closed the conversation.
Shortly after the conference above referred
to ex-Senator Horsey called on me at Wash
ington, and in the presence or Woodward de
nounced Gen. Brady bitterly, and urged that
lie be removed.
On April 10 Inspector Wood want addressed
me a communication strongly urging that
the n tcrests of the pending investigation and
r' department demanded the retirement
or i hoinaa .1. Brady from the olliee of Second
Assistant Postmaster General. The same
evening Mr. Woodward and myself ealied
upon the 1 resilient, to whom 1 referred tiie
letter. He at once directed Gen. Brady’s dis
missal. 1 explained to the President that
Gen. Brady had previously told me that
whenever his place was wanted his resigna
tion was at the President's disposal; that my
relations with the Second Assistant Post
masters General, official and otherwise, had
always been of a friendly character; that
this was a most painful duty, and that
I hoped that he would allow me to ask for
Ins resignation. He declined, and directed a
letter to be prepared, which I signed, asking
tlie President for Gen. ISrady’s instant re
inoval■ Early the next morning the Presi
dent sent for me, and said that he had re
flected on what i iiad urged, and realizing
my embarrassment, was willing that I should
ask for Gen. Brady’s resignation. Gen. Brady
at once resigned.
I he greater part of Mr. .lames 1 testimony
referred to matters that became public dur
ing the progress of the star route trials. He
said in conclusion: “I desire to say to the
committee that I gladly avail mvself
of the opportunity afforded 'by
their summons to present to them and to the
public this statement of tlie essential facts of
my connection with tlie star route proceed
ings. I deem it due to the truth of history
and a matter of justice to myself, and still
tiioi-e of justice to the memory of the late
1 resident Garfield. Ilis conduct in Hie whole
affair was honorable and courageous in a high
degree, and wag inspired by a lofty sense of
tlie antic# of hi* office. If he hutl taken a
lower view of bis obligations as Chief Magis
trate and as an honest man it is my linn
belief that he would not have fallen a victim
to an assassin’s bullet.
Governor Stewart, a member of the com
mittee, said: “Your lielief, Mr. James, is that
the assassination of Garfield was in conse
quence of star route matters?”
"I don t say that,” replied tlie witness. “I
mean, judging from tlie clamor of tlie people
and clippings found in tiie assassin’s pocket,
that Guitcau’s head was turned by these
things.”

that the first information he ha<l relative to

THE DANVILLE CIRCULAR.
Keadjusters Telling How it Affected
Their Weak-Kneed Constituents.
Washington, March s.—ln the Dan
ville* investigation to-day, J. C. Fowler
(white), late of Bristol, Va., Chairman of
his couuty Readjuster committee, now
Clerk of the United states Court at Abing
don, Va., was 4‘alled.
lie recalled tiie circular which was current
ip.his neighborhood. It was an extra of the
\\ ytbevilTe, Va., Enterprise, ot Monday, No
vember 5, 1883. the dav before the election.
The head-lines were as follows: “The bloody
negro riot in Danville.” “An immense mass
meeting in Kicbmon.l held Sunday evening."
“Maltone responsible for the bloodshed.” “The
white men of Virginia ought to be true to
their own race in the race eontlict which Ma
lione lias brought about.” The lxidv of the
circular was dispatched from Richmond, ent
botlying a series of resolution-adopted bv an
enormous mass meeting of bite citizens"set
ing forth that the conflict had been brought on
at Danville for the purpose of creating the
race issue. A telegram from Danville was
appended to the circular as follows: “It you
only knew our suffering here on account of
negro rule, you would vote different. We are
standing in our doors with guns, protecting
our families. Post this up at the court-house
door. (Signed) P. N. Robertson.”
WHITE OR RI.ACK.
The witness said that this was an effort ou
the part of the Democratic party to reduce
the issue to the question, “Are you a nigger,
or are you a white man?" The witness had
never seen such an intensity of feeling since
the firing on Fort Sumter as was created oy
the circulars and reports put out by the Dem
ocrats.
Mr. Vance protested against the admission
of evidence of this character—the circulation
of fly circulars and political reports.
“Where," he asked, “is it to end? We are
certainly entitled to a reply, and can go ail
over Virginia to pick up such matters.
Mr. Sherman said that his theory was first
to prove the riot, and then to bring out such
matters as had any hearing u|ion the subject
of depriving the negro of his right to vote.
The witness, continuing, said in answer to
questions by Mr. I.apham, that the effect of
the circulars 'and reports was to consolidate
the negroes in support of the Readjusters.
The witness was stationed at the polls during
the day of the eleetion. and considered his
life in danger. It was his dutv to challenge
votes which he considered illegal. The Dem
ocrats had taken possession of the windows
through which the challenging must be done.
The witness was forced to stand behind the
Democrats and challenge over their shoul
ders. Kvery challenge gave rise to much
abuse on the part of the Democrats.
A PROCESSION OK SIIKIIKKKS.
A line of wagons loaded with white Demo
crats, shrieking and yelling, drove tip, bear
ing a banner emblazoned with the names of
the Democratic nominees, “The White Men's
( andidates." Speeches were made by Demo
crats, in which assertions were made that
Mahone had appealed to the negroes to stand
together and to avenge the shooting of their
fellows, and that Mahone had stolen the poll
ing books of one precinct because it was a
Democratic precinct. The witness was pub
licly insulted and two or three times as
saulted on election day. On one occasion he
was rescued by Democratic officials, who did
their duty, but had great difficulty in doing it.
On cross-examination by Mr. Vance, the wit
ness said that the Readiuster circulars, which
were current in his neighborhood before the
election, were explanatory of Coalition rule
in Danville, and was even denunciatory. The
negroes were more nearly a unit than the
whites. There was no harm in the effort to
consolidate the whites if only legitimate
means were used. If the negroes were handed
together against the whites, because per He
they were whites, there would be no objec
tion to a union of flic whites,
against negroes because they were negroes.
Asa matter of fact the negroes were banded
together because of the unwillingness or the
whites to allow negroes to vote. The poll
tax law and whipping post were measures
calculated to deprive the negroes of their
votes. In the redirect examination Senator
Lapbam submitted for identification a copy
of the Staunton (Va.) Vindicator— extra issued
tile day before the election—containing a
statement of the riot, together with the Rich
mond resolutions.
A NEGRO PARTY.
4V r . s. Gravely (white), a Readiuster of
Martinsville, Henry county, 42 miles from
Danville, was called. He saw the Danville
circular, the “Coalition Rule," ten days be
fore the election. The effect of the circular
was shown by the remarks of white men who
had before that time been Readjustee. They
said the debt question wffis settled and the
party was now becoming a negro partjr, and
obnoxious in consequence. They could no
longer vote the Readiuster ticket. He heard
of tiie riot on the day of its occurrence. It
was the only subject of conversation on elec
tion day,
BEATEN BV THE CIRCULAR.
W. O. Austin (white), a Republican, ot Pu
laski county, Va., 170 miles from Danville,
first saw the Danville circular ou the Wednes
day evening before the election in Carroll
county,Va. He learned when he reached home
that large pack ages of the circular had been re
ceived in Pulaski county and were being dis
tributed. There the effect was to drive a
considerable number of white votes from the
Coalition to the Democratic parly. It also
caused a number of Coalition voters to stay
ak home. In the witness’ own precinct 13
voters had beeu influenced to change from one
to t lie other party by this circular. The wit
ness heard of the Danville riot on Sunday
morning. November 4. The reports of the riot
had the effect to drive weak-kneed Coalition
ists to the Democratic party.
THK MOST EXCITING OF ALL TIIE ELECTIONS.
E. W. Barksdale (white), a Deputy Marshal
ot Martinsville, Henry county, Va., forty miles
from Danville, was called, iie had lived in
Danville off and on for ten years. Tiie last
canvass was the most exciting and violent
that he hud ever seen. The witness was in
Danville about October ], and was told by a
Democrat acquaintance, Mr. Church, that it
was time to change his polities. There was
going io be the biggest row in the world, and
it was going to start right at headquarters,
the custom house.
TOO DEAF TO HEAR.
( 01. 'V illiam K. Sims, the next witness, doe
not hear perfectly, and for this reason it was
determineil not to examine him orally, in
terrogatories will be prepared to be answered
by the witness at 11 o’clock to-morrow, to
which hour the committee at H:3oo’clock nil
joured. Mr. Sims is the only witness to lie
examined until the House acts upon the reso
lution making appropriations for further ex
penses of tiie investigation.

How Gordon was Appointed.
Pall Mall GattiU,
The official papers on the appointment
of Gen. Gordon show that Lord Granville
first sounded Sir Evelyn Baring as to the
selection of Gen. Gordon for an Egyptian
appointment (not specified) on Dec. 1.
Sir Evelyn Baring being opposed to it, the
subject seems to nave been dropped. On
Jan. H our representative saw Gen. Gor
don at Southampton, and on the nth our
report of thfft interview was published.
On the next day Lord Granville again
telegraphed, asking if Gen. Gordon or Sii
Charles Willson would be of assistance
under altered circumstances. On the 11th
of January Sir Evelyn Baring, having
consulted with Nubar I’asha, does not
think the services of either can lie utilized
at present. On the 14th we published an
article on the imperiled garrisons,
concluding as follows: “What, we
ask in ail earnestness, would be the
position of the government at that
moment, conlronted with such a result a
general massacre].of the policy which it
forced upon Egypt, when it is remembered
that the ablest General the Soudan ever
saw, the one man who alone might have
averted the catastrophe, had been allowed
to depart unnoticed and unconsulted for
the Congo, w hile Abd el Kader Pasha w as
dispatched to superintend the evacuation
ol Khartoum?” Lord Granville appears
to have telegraphed on the same day ask
ing for information as to the measures
taken for retreat lrom Khartoum; the
next day he tells Sir E. Baring that he
hears indirectly that Gordon, who was on
the eve of leaving for Brussels, was ready
to go straight to Khartoum via Suakim.
On the 10th the Egyptian Government
asked for a well-qualified British officer to
be sent to Khartoum with full powers,

Paul Bert in Favor of a Convention
At Itli This Country on tlio Subject.
Paris, March 5.—A majority or the
Parliamentary Committee, who have been
examining the question of the importa
tion of American salt meats, are in favor
of the government’s proposal to appoint
officers to inspect imports on their arrival
in France. Paul Bert is in.favor of 11
convention with America for the
regular inspection of pork in
America by officers who shall lie empow
ered to issue certlticates,which shall then
be vised by the French Consul of the port
from which tlie pork is shipped. When
pork arrives in France it would only be
necessary then to sec whether the French
Consul had properly vised the cortiticates
or had indorsed an objection upon them.
SUGAR IN LUMPS.
Tiiat Which is Pure, and that Which i
Not—Cubes Imitating Cut Loaf.
Xeic York Sun (/n>?.).
A correspondent asks the difference be
tween the sugar which is sold in appa
rently smoothly cut lumps and other white
sugar, the lumps of which are somewhat
rough on their surfaces. The difference is
considerable, and the latter, which is pure
loaf sugar cut into lumps, always com
mands a higher price in the wholesale
market, and cannot bo adulterated, it is
called in the market “cut loaf.’’ The for
mer quality of sugar is what is
known as “cubes.” The cdt-loaf
sugar is made in lumps of fifty
pounds out of caue sugar, then sawed
into slabs, and these slabs are partly cut
through and partly broken. It is easy to
distinguish (he marks of cutting amt
breaking on each lump. The cube sugar
is made of soft sugar and pressed in
moulds, which give (he smooth appeal
anee. The eut-loaf sugar will keep its
shape in any climate, and is suitable for
shipment. The cube sugar will sometimes
on a sea voyage resume the consistency
of soft sugar, and tho change of form is
due to adulteration.
The safest sugar for any onc’to buy is
pure loaf sugar, and it is much £weeter
than any' other. The principal substance
used in adulterating sugar is glucose,
which is sugar made from various vege
table substances, chiefly grain. While
glucose is sweet, it is easily detected by
the expert because it is not so sweet as
cane sugar. It is, nevertheless, very ex
tensively used to adulterate cane sugar
and produce the cheap sugars which are
sold in the market. Reputable dealers
sell it as glucose, but there are many deal
ers who sell glucose for sugar. The na
ture of the glucose is to make a close
sticky sugar; it does not produce grains,
like cane.
The polariscope readilv exposes any
adulteration of sugar, but"there is need of
some ready household teat by which
housekeepers who cannot afford a polar
lscope can tell whether they are buying
cane sugar or glucose. The glucose is
not harmlill as food, but its sweetening
properties are limited. The official test of
cut loaf sugar is 100 per cent. Other re
fined sugars in lumps do not always reach
that test. At present the precise form of
the genuine cut loaf sugar has not vet
been counterfeited.
Power from Niagara Falls to Light C 5
Cities with Electric Lights.
The Elmira correspondent of the New
York Sun has received a letter from
Leonard Henkle, inventor and electrician,
of Rochester, saying that, although the
action of the New York Legislature in fa
vor of the National Park compels him to
abandon Prospect Park and the American
side of Niagara for electric lightning pur
poses, he has, nevertheless, negotiated for
the purchase of land on the Canada side
of the river, and for power from the Great
Horseshoe Fall for carrying out his origi
nal plan. That plan contemplated the
lighting of sixty-five American and Cana
dian cities, connected by means of under
ground cables with electric lights gener
ated at Niagara. The plans are all drawn
for ten hydraulic engines of 200,000 horse
power each, and gigantic machinery.
That Henkle himself means business is
attested by the fact that he w ill soon open
au office on the Canada side of the river,
and endeavor to complete arrangements
with capitalists, whom he expects to fur
nish $22,000,0tJ0 for the undertaking.
