J educational bill taken np and Mr. Bay-
•f,1 took the floor.
ft had been his intention, Mr.
“ 1 said, to cast a silent
,„te on this measure, but the de-
bste bad more and more shown the inter
est snd importance of this bill. Just in
eroportion as its importance and necessity
jj,,] grown upon him, so had his desire to
flnd iustifieation for it. but he thought
that it was seldom that a measure could
belirou.lit before Congress that would
have such an eiToct upon cur form of
government as the bill now before the
Senate It was now tho proposition to tax
fte people of the United States to support
the education of the respective Mates. It
was a proposition accompanied with a
condition, that condition being that in the
proportion of ignorance existing in the
States the money was to bo expended by
the genera! government. Acting as rep
resentative men. executing a great trust of
the republic’s power, under the limitations
of a written charter, not only under civil
obligations. bat under those of
religion added. it was the duty
of Senators to look carefully to their
,(> Mr. Bayard read from a newspaper with
which be said the Senator from Rhode
Island (Mr. Anthony) was connected, fn
which, speaking of the Blair bill, an edi
torial saw: "Tho passage of it would bo
by an nltra constitutional though neces
sary authority, as a logical consequence of
the enfranchisement of tho negro," and
that the State schools would have to con
form to the views of tlie general govern
rnent. Mr. Bayard assented to these views,
as far as the ultra-constitu-
• tionality of the bill was concerned.
Sever before, lie said, had the conflict be
tween duty and inclination been so great
with him as now. .....
The earnestness and straightforward
ness of Mr. Blair in regard to the bill had
gained Mr. Bayard’s regard, and he be
lieved him to be animated wholly by the
sense of high, patriotic duty. The ad
dresses that bad been made in the Senate
by different Senators had ’ so Impressed
him that lie felt obliged carefully to review
his opinion, lie knew the South, he said,
ltc had studied tlie condition of its people
snd bad observed tlieir struggle. After
the war, lie had observed the flower of
tlieir manhood slain, tlieir strong men and
warriors crippled, the desolation of tlieir
bogie,, the npheaval of their social sys
tem; but there was one cause more devas
tating than all others, and that was that
after the plowshare of desolation had done
its work, and at tho moment when
every self-governing agency that tlie law
could supply was coming into operation,
the party in control of the general govern
meat ado-*- " " "
dopted the un
r policy of inter-
nliappr
dieting every vestige of self-government in
the South, until it Was absolutely annihi
lated. Mr. Bayard did not cite tills for
purposes of reproach or recrimination, but
merely aa a part of history. Mr. Jlavard
had conic into publlc life, he su’d, since
the wtr, and his miln object in doing so
had been to do what might be In his power
to bled up the wounds of civil
wtr in his country to assist
dp the restorstion of all the Slates to their
"roper position of equality in
ilia Union. To that end he
hid opposed OTery measure which lie hod
deemed unequal and unjait. 1 fe bnd been
in this chamber when not a single true
representative of the interests amt sympa
thies of tlie Southern people was found in
it. and when such representation aa ex
isted was in truth a scandalous misrepre
sentation. How different the condition
which existed to-day! The peoplo of the
south were now represented according to
Uielr will, and the courageous and large-
any other suspicious craft that may ar
rive at or soil from that port.
THE DANVILLE INVESTIGATION.
Congressman Wlsa Describes Coalition
Elaotlon Methods.
[telegraphed to the associated peess.]
Washlnuton, April 5.—Geo. H. Southall,
postal clerk between Lynchburg and Bris
tol, Tenn„ was examined before tbe Dan
ville sub committee tills morning. He was
in Lynchburg the night before the election
and made notes of two speeches delivered
at a public meeting there by Mr. White
head, editor of the Lynchburg Advauct,
and Mr. Marie, a lawyer of Lynchburg
The witness read his notes. The speakers
said in substance that theyftlie Democrats)
intended to carry the election "by blood,
if necessary," and that oil arrangements
had been made to that end. SeiitimenL-i
of approval for tho action of the whites of
Danville and denunciations of tlie traitor
Malionc were uttered. He described the
circulars whicli were put out by tlie Demo
crats. One of them grossly misrepre
sented tlie statements made by Governor
Cameron in a public speech- On cross-
examination by Senator Vance, tlie wit
ness described a feature of tlie meeting
which he said bad not occurred to
him before. A colored brass band ap
proached tlie meeting, followed by a crowd,
und some one in the meeting said: "Here
they are—come to break us up! protect
yourselves 1" The whites formed in line,
and a great many pistols were drawn.
The approaching crowd bore a banner in
scribed “Wo are with you,” and the whites
were reassured. The witness said that a
good many of the Democrats disapproved
the sentiments uttered in the speeches of
Whitehead and Marie. He did not under
stand the speakers to threaten violence in
order to secure rotes, but to protect tlie
polls from violence.
CONGRESSMAN GIBSON TESTIFIES.
Eustace Gibson, Congressman from
West Virginia, was examined. He was at
Culpepper, Va.. on election day, and sev
eral days before, assisting ins brother,
who was a candidate for the State Legisla
ture. The witness made speeches in the
county and had frequent consultations
with both Democratic and Republican
leaders. Up to tlie time of the riot the
Democrats lit d confident hopes of carrying
the county. Tlie colored people became
very much excited by the news of .the riot,
anil would thereafter hold no intercourse
with the Democratic leaders, Tlie news
soliditied the colored vote. On the morn
ing of election day lie went
very early to the polling place,
where he expected to meet two colored
Democrats. The voters came early, and
about 130 colored men formed in line on
the side o( the road and shook their tick
ets, saying: “Tlieffc arc tho colored men’s
tickets.” This wasdone with the intention
of intimidating the two colored Democratic
workers. The first colored man who voted
the Democratic ticket secured a pledge
that the witness would not make known
the fact. After voting tlie man broke and
ran. The color line at that polling place
was entirely drawn by the colored men.
The news of the riot waa very damaging
to the Democrats.
CONGRESSMAN WISE ON THE STAND.
George D. Wise, of Virginia, took the
witness chair, and was examined by Sen
ator Vance. Immediately after the dis
cussion with Colonel Sims, he made a jour
ney with that gentleman, and in conver
sation Sims stated his confidence that he
would carry tlie election in Danville and

hearted publlc opinion of lhe country hail
risen too high to permit again such an
overthrow of liberty as hod taken place a
few yeare ago. Mr. llayard waa
grateful to God that thb bad come, but this
could not affect hb theory of the Union.
That wae unchanged. It was a union ol
equal States—what Madison had called flic
compound repubii ; of America. This hill,
n Mr. Bayard's opinion, threatened tlie
harmony of our political system, l ie then
entered on an elaborate argument, sup
porting it by copious reading from tho
t firr'il,it and other early authorities, to
show the unconaUtutionality of thc bill,
claiming that Congress had no power to
tax the people at large to educate tlie
people of any one State. Congress had no
fund from which to pay the ex
penses contemplated. Taxes would havo
to be levied in order to meet them, and if
the bill before the Senate waste be passed,
then logically and necessarily Congress
can, according to the wiU of a mere ma
jority, occupy the entire field covered by
”“te functions, and local self-government
would die in apathy—It would shrink up
from tlie disuse of its faculties, and the
spring of our national life would become
*y at Its source. Thb bill, Mr. Biyard
contended, was centralisation run mad.
In th" natural order, bodily nourishment
came before mental nourishment, and was
a more iiulbpentlhle necessity. Would
anybody (ay (bat Congress could i
priate money to be drawn from taxal
support the citizen* of tbe Southern
States. It satined to him quite aa fatal to
stab our fprra of government in one vital
P*rt »• another, and the hand that Inflict
ed the wound should not be hb. No 8tate
bed ever divested Itself of tbe power, nor
could It, before God, divest itaelfof the du
ty ot providing for the elevation of its own
unorancc and poverty. The concession to
Congress of the power ao-umed In thb ed
ucational measure would be to start the
eounlry on a course which must end In
withering the States,
The Senate then adjourned till to-mor

and no man had ever questioned their

geries were delinquent tax jpaycra. Where
men had not been assessed by the proper
otllcere, they went to the commbsiouer
and received a certificate irom lnm that
they had been over looked. Upon
thb paper the treasurer received
their capitation tax, in order
that thev might vote. No oath was re
quired. it was a common practice all over
the State by whites and blacks. There
was, thc witness said, in thc city of Rich
mond, a regular qualified collector of dc.
linqucut taxes. The Coalitionists, how
ever, selected a second man for this duty,
who opened lib offico in the United States
custom house at Richmond and placed
guards at tlie door. None were allowed to
pass in who were unaccompanied by
guards. Streams oi colored men were
guided In there by these attendants. Tlie
witness was warned by prominent
I Republicans that things were go
ing on there that, if known,
would shock the public. The Witness em
ployed a man and gave him money to go
and pay hb delinquent tax, as he had a
legal right to do. The man went and waa
threatened with death.
Senator Lapham objected to thb. on the
ground that the witnesewae stating what
was not within his personal knowledge.
Senator Vance insisted on having the
statement. ... I
Mr. Wise continued; He re|>ortcd that
he could not remain there; that he was ac
cused ot helngaspy for the witness and wav
threatened with violence. Tbe witness
then employed s friendly colored man to I
go and watch the course of affsirs, anil
this nun. too, was ejected. The law re
quired that the collector should executes
bond, snd it wss discovered on the dsy of
ItMclectlon thst tlie second collector had
S Hveti no hood. Tha reason for thb was
at one dollar had been made to serve
the imrpose ol paying tax tor four hun
dred colored men. When a colored man
entered, a dollar was handed him. When
it was pakl to the officer, it was carried
back to tbe doorkeeper to be handed to
the next colored man. The fudge of
the court ordered that none of
the tax receipts issued by John S.
Sncllings, the second collector, be recog
nised, because of the discovery that he waa
not under bond. Acting under thb order,
