A profound student of human nature remarks: ••There is roman, however accustomed to new elothes, but must feel some sentiment of pride on assuming them. The first appearance of a new garment is always attended with exultation.” This is particularly true of garments obtained at the WITETsT, Where every variety of individual requirement and taete, in the matter of Clothing and Gents’ Furnishings, can be satisfied, at prloes guaranteed to bo from 10 to 25 per eent. below all competition. THE GLASS GLOBES In the show windows continue to be closely* studied and interrogated as to their contents by great numbers of people competing for the rare and valuable rewards offered our patrons for the most accurate estimate of the number of shot or beans in each. It is well that the globes know how to guard their secret, or it would surely be coaxed out of them. POLYGAMY MUST GO. Plan of Action Proposed by the League for Its Suppression. Cleveland, Nov. 14.—Tire secret organization called the National League for the Suppression of Polygamy, at a meeting to-night considered letters from Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago, and other cities, promising co-oper-ation, and asking information as to the methods of forming branches. The following address to the public was issued: The time has come when action is necessary. The honor and fair name of the nation are in danger. Licentiousness and total disregard of the laws of the land are bringing us into disgrace among ail the people of the earth. Europe, as In the days of slavery, is calling upon us in the name of decency to cleanse ourselves of a species of moral corruption which, in foulness, has not been surpassed during the present century. Ever siuco Joe. Smith, than whom no greater fraud ever lived, established the Mormon Church, the fundamental doctrines of which are polygamy and profligacy, there has rested upon the nation a stain which has been a disgrace to ut and to the civilized world. The Mormon Church lias flourished like rank vegetation, until to day it has tens of thousands of supporters and millions of money. Its converts in large numbers are conducted to this country from the pauper districts of Europe, while missionaries are constantly employed in the South, misleading the poor and ignorant. Children are brought here from abroad to be educated in the infamous practices of the saints and elders of the church which, founded in deceit and superstition, is daily gaining enormous power and influence. The world cries out against such progress, and in the name of huJ.mnity, home and common decency, demands a halt in the rapid strides of lechery and lawbreaking. The firesides of America are the bulwarks of the nation’s liberty and the interceding agents of its redemption and everlasting preservation. Let them be guarded witli jealous care; let them remain uncontamiuated by the horrible Influences now being spread by sensual hypocrites and soulless charlatans. As yet Congress has taken but little interest in the matter, for some reason best known to the members thereof, and as a consequence it remains for the people at large to throttle the evil in the best manner possible and rid the country of a curse which their representatives in Congress have failed to recognize. An immense lobby of Mormon elders has signified an intention to be at Washington this winter for the purpose of defeating bills introduced for regulation of polygamy. A great deal of money will be spent, and if there is not a popular uprising against the obnoxious teachings and practices of the Mormons, Congress will again, no doubt, refuse to recognize the evil, and uotning will bo done to eradicate it. In view of this, the National League for the Suppression of Polygamy, of Cleveland, urgently - request that petitions be circulated in every city, town and school district of the United Btates, asking Congress to subinitt to the Legislatures of the various States an amendment to the constitution prohibiting polygamy. This will be an important step, and if accomplished will prevent the institution from being recognized by any of the present States or in Territories that may become States hereafter. It is hoped the public will take an interest in the matter and see that Congress is deluged with petitions during the coming session If there is a geueral demand from all parts of the country for the abolition of polygamy, Congress will be compelled to heed the demand, and the only way to make such a demand is by means of oxtensively signed petitions. Miners Wanting Arbitration. Pittsburs, Nov. 14.—The officials of the ■Miners’ Association, in an open letter, invite the coal operators of the four river pools to meet them next Friday for the purpose of appointing a board of arbitration, with power to settle all disputes. Ttie letter says the miners are ready and willing to meet the operators half way. and suggests that the latter interest themselves in the readjustment of the prices of mining, and the more desirable consummation of co-operation and good feeling. Illness of Hon. S. J. Randall. Philadelphia, Nov. 14.—The Hon. Samuel J. Randall is now lying seriously ill at his cottage near Berwyn station on the Pennsylvania railroad. His condition is not alarming, but it annoys liis family and friends. The disease began with gout in his right foot, as was supposed, all the Randalls, from .Tosiah, the elder, down, having been affected with that complaint. Since then it has spread to the ankle, and it is ieared erysipelas has set in on one of his knees. Nail Men Order a Suspension. Pittsburg, Nov. 14.—At a meeting of the Western Nail Association to-day a general suspension of nail machines was ordered for a period of five weeks, beginning on Dec. 22 and ending on Feb. 4. The meeting was the largest for many months. The discussion developed no improvement in the condition of trade. Stocks are low and ill-assorted. The demand is only fair. No change was made in the card rate. Kev. Brand's Libel Suit. Cleveland, Nov. 14.—The jury in the case of Frank E. Bronson against Rev. James Brand, disagreed and was discharged. Bronson, an Oberlin druggist, sued Brand, a preacher of the same place, for $30,000 libel on account of a Bronson was scathingly (lenduncpd,,*u>rVeiling liquor. The jury stood teiffo; . ton )laud two for Brand, and was out" Oil Laud in Dispute. Pittsburg, Nov. 14 —A suit in ejectment was entered in the Unitod States Circuit Court tliis morning by the United States government against John Shiney, for the recovery of 437 acres of oil land in Forest county, which tiie defendant is in possession of on a quitclaim.

CURRENT TOPICS ABROAD. Roger A. Pryor Has an Extended Interview with O’Donnell. Counsel for the Prisoner Confident that the Verdict Will Not Assess Punishment for Willful Murder. A Crisis in the Church Council Now Being Held at Rome. The American Representatives at Variance with the Vatican on the Question of Home Rule—Cable Notes. O’DONNELL’S DEFENSE. Roger A. Pryor, His Counsel, Has His First Interview with Him. London, Nov. 14. —The preparations for O’Donnell’s defense are well advanced. Roger A. Pryor had a long and satisfactory interview with the prisoner to-day, the first since his arrival. Mclnerny, of O’Donnell’s counsel, has brought from Ireland a quantity of evidence, and he feels confident the verdict will not be for willful murder. Witnesses from the Cape of Good Hope are expected to arrive in England on Saturday. William J. Hoppin, secretary of the American legation, in the absence of Minister Lowell, visited O’Donnell and formally ascertained the fact of his American citizenship. Prison rules have heretofore prevented Pryor seeing O’Donnell except with the permission of the Home Department. The solicitor for O’Donnell wrote to the Home Secretary asking permission for Pryor to visit his client. The Secretary replied that Pryor must make a personal application, stating the grounds for the request. Pryor made the required application upon the sole ground that he, being of the counsel, deemed it expedient for the defense that he should see him. The Home Department thereupon granted the request. Pryor was afforded every facility by the officials at Newgate for an interview, which lasted two and a half hours. It is understood that the opening of the trial is fixed for the 23d inst. — . THE PAPAL CONFERENCE. The American Prelates Demand Home Rule in Church Matters. London, Nov. 14.—Dispatches from Rome state that the crisis in the Papal conference with the American bishops was reached yesterday. The utmost secrecy is maintained by all the prelates in attendance as to what transpired, but every indication shows that a point of serious dispute has been reached in relation to the matter at issue, and that the American bishops are, for the present at least, unitedly opposed to the majority of the Sacred College. That the nature of the difficulty is most serious may be inferred from the fact that during the long conference recess nearly every one of the American bishops hastily concluded arrangements for a protracted stay in Rome. It is given out that the conference will be arranged upon new plans, which a committee will prepare during the night. It is also announced that the conference under the new turn of events cannot be

concluded within two months. Prom the best authorities accessible to-night it i3 learned that nothing was said in yesterday’s meeting relative to the attitude which the Catholic clergy in America should assume toward the Irish agitation, but that the entire discnssion was confined to the question of the best means for the diffusion of the Catholic religion among the American people. Upon this question the whole body of American bishops had decided views in favor of as large domestic control as could possibly be allowed within proper allegiance to Rome; while the Vatican favored strong direction from Rome. The meeting closed with the American prelates* formulating their position, which is practically a demand for papal sanction of all the decisions of the American synod. The Pope has taken this demand under consideration, and has already appointed a commission of cardinals and theologians to examine into and report upon the advisability of acceding to it. The papal position, on the contrary, favors the strict enforcement in America of the decrees of the council of Trent, which would militate strongly against the policy of home rule demanded by the bishops. The new plan of conference procedure will, it is thought, arrange for regular congresses, to be held at the Vatican and be presided over by the Pope. Denouncing Errington's Mission. Dublin, Nov. 14.—The Freeman’s Journal publishes a letter signed by Dr. Redmond, president of the diocese of West Manchester, denouncing Errington’s mission to Rome as in the interest of landlords and the English government. He declares that the Irish clergy and laity have the right to fight their own political battle and the curia must stand aside. If it decides adversely to the Irish people it may be a mortal blow to the church. c. TOE MEXICAN DEBT. The Government Rejects the Exorbitant Demands of the Bondholders. City of Mexico, Nov. 14.—Interviews with high officials develop the following facts regarding the English debt: Mexicoacknowledges the indebtedness, principal and interest, amounting to £16,000,000. Last April a private agent of Mexico, without full authority, made an agreement with the bondholders by which Mexico was to replace the outstanding bonds with anew issue for £20,000,000, at 3 per cent, interest. The additional £4,000,000 was for the purpose of paying the first year’s interest and reimbursing the expenses of the bondholders’ committee. Subsequently Congress authorized the President to settle the debt on that basis. When the text of the agreement arrived from London, the President refused to approve the additional £4,000,000. Negotiations for anew agreement were then begun, but failed. Two weeks ago the President instructed the Mexican agent at London, Carlos Rivas, to offer £18,000,000 in bonds, instead of £20,000,000. The offer was refused. Rivas was instructed last week to suspend the negotiations. The

government is anxious to settle, but considers the demands of the bondholders exorbitant. FOREIGN MISCELLANY. Romantic Incident in the Career of the Late Lord Congleton. London Life. Lord Congleton, who died recently, was a man of marked eccentricity of manner, but his blunt speech and brusqueness of bearing covered a warm and kindly heart. He was an ardent supporter of the sect known as “Plymouth Brethren,” and it was his devotion to this peculiar form of worship that involved him in rather a strange match. While traveling in Persia with a friend he succeeded in converting an Armenian lady, a Madame Lazar, a widow of an Armenian merchant, to a belief in this particular form of worship. Converting her was, comparatively, a simple business; but then arose the question, What is to be done next? Propriety forbade that these two guileless gentlemen should travel about accompanied by a handsome widow; while, were she left behind, her heathen relations would make short work of her, or her Christianity. For the sake of her soul she must not be left, so one of them must marry her! It was agreed that, after the manner of the Scriptures, lots should be cast to decide who was to become the happy Benedict. The lot |fell to Lord Congleton, who at once carried out the contract, and lived very happily with the lady until her death. Inciting: Spanish Republicans. Berlin, Nov. 14.—A correspondent of the Cologne Gazette, referring to the hostile articles in the French press in regard to the German Crown Prince’s visit to Spain, especially alludes to the article in the Paris National, which he says is plainly intended to incite Spanish Republicans to commit an act of revolt as an answer to Spain’s reception to the Crown Prince. The correspondent adds that money has been sent from France for this object. Dr. Stocker Insulted. London, Nov. 14.—Dr. Stocker, chaplain to the German court, lectured upon German socialism on Monday at Emerald Hall. A large and unruly crowd was present They cheered, hissed and groaned at the lecturer, and interrupted him with insulting cries and epithets. Finally the disturbance became so great that I)r. Stocker indignantly left the hall, and the meeting ended in confusion.

Schaefer and Vigrnaux. Paris, Nov. 14. —Schaefer and Vignaux are practising daily for their championship game, beginning on the 26th inst. and continuing five nights. The men are in excellent form, and will play a balk-line game, 600 points each night. The stakes are £2,000. The American bridge is forbidden. Russia and Germany. Berlin, Nov. 14.—The National Zeitung says DeGiers expressed a warm friendship for Germany, and declared that he stopped at Berlin by the wish of the Czar, that be might convey to the Emperor and Bismarck an expression of the friendly feelings of Russia towards Germany. Mai quia Tsenif. Paris, Nov. 14.— Marquis Tseng mot Premier Ferry ou Tuesday. There is reason to believe that Marquis Tseng is most desirous of averting a war with France, but is not prepared to sacrifice the honor and interests of China to that end. Wanting Aid fur a Church. London, Nov. 14. —The British, American and Belgian consuls at Milan have written a letter to the Times In behalf of a fund to build a church at Milan to accommodate English and American students and artisans who are too poor to subscribe themselves. Troops Surprised. Cairo, Nov. 14. —1 ti3 reported that a detachment of Egyptian troops has been surprised and routed near Tokar or Sincat. The British Consul at Surkim, with the Egyptians, is missing. The report needs confirmation. A Member of Parliament Blackballed. Dublin, Nov. 14. — T, G. Healy, member of Parliament for Monaghan, seeking admission to the Irish bar, has been blackballed by the Law Students’ Debating Society of this city. Refusing to Compromise. Paris, Nov. 14. — A dispatch from Tamatave says the French have declined the proposals brought by two Malagassv officials for a compromise of the pending difficulties. France Apologizes. Madrid, Nov. 14.— The Official Gazette publishes President Grevy’s apology to King Alfonzo for the Paris incident.. Cable Notes. The boring of the tunnel through the Arlberg branch of the Alps is completed. Tiie Royalist troops are everywhere victorious agaiust the insurgents in Hungary. The German squadron has arrived at Genoa, to escort the German Crown Prince to Spain. Edward McMahon, a Parnellite, and James Spaight, a Conservative, were nominated for Parliament from Limerick. It is reported that the Crown Prince of Germany will meet the King of Italy when returning from his visit to the King of Spain. It is stated that Henry Chaplin, member of Parliament for Lincolnshire, proposes to continue his efforts to induce the government to restrict the importation of cattle from the United States, which is st adily increasing. The police authorities of London do not believe the confession of the prisoner Smith, who accused himself of being concerned in tiie recent jetplosions on the Metropolitan under-ground ruilwav. No further proceedings will he taken against him. Freight Depots Destroyed. Norfolk, Nov. 14.— Fire broke out in tiie freight warehouse of the Norfolk & Western railway depot to day, and rapidly extended to another freight-house. It consumed 7,000 hales of cotton, fifty car-loads of lumber, twelvecnrs and a quantity of miscellaneous freight. The wharves'of the company were badly damaged. Loss $500,000; insured. llunrireilH of Mon Out of Kmploj'iuent. Ashland. Ky., Nov. 14.— The Norton iron works, rolling-mill and nail-mill burned this morning. The loss is $200,000; insurance, $60,000. The fire caught in tiie oil room, and spread by the bursting of the oil tank. Nearly a thousand men, including coal-miners, are thrown out of emulovmeut.

NATIONAL CAPITAL NEWS. Testimony of General Hazen Before the Proteus Board of Inquiry. A New Torn In tlie Speakership Contest. Which Hodert No Good to Either Carlisle or Randall. A Possibility that Hon. W. R. Morrison May Grasp the Prize. Another Prominent Democrat Who Knows All About Tilden’.. Health—lmportant Ruling by General Gresham. THE LOSS OF THE PROTECS. Garlington Obeyed Instructions —Testimony of General Hazen. Washington, New. 14.—Lieutenant Garlington resumed his testimony in the Proteus court of inquiry. He never saw the instructions given Captain Wildes, of the Yantic, until the return to St. Johns. His own instructions ordered him not to stop at Littleton island on the way up, and he obeyed, and went south in boats, hoping to meet the Yantic and find some way of returning to help Greely. General Hazen then took the stand, and testified that the supplemental memorandum formed no part of Garlingtori’s instructions. "Garlington showed me,” said the witness, “all his orders, and I told him he must be controlled by the regular orders that I had given him, and by the directions of Gre.ly, on which they were founded. Greely’s letter was law to me, and I didn’t feel authorized to give any orders that would confiict with it. THE SPEAKERSHIP. William R. Morrison Looms Cp as a Formidable Dark Horse. Washington Special. During the last session of Congress Mr. Morrison was asked if he were a candidate for Speaker, and he replied that he was not; that he was a candidate for a higher office or nothing. There is no reason, however, why a man might not be a candidate for Speaker in November and a candidate for President in June, and in the opinion of many people an election to the speakership would be direct! j in the interest of the other candidacy. Morrison, however, long ago gave his pledge to Mb Carlisle not to be a candidate against him, and, as stated last night, he will be here soon ks one of the managers of Mr. Carlisle’s canvass. It is understood here, however, that he is the heir of the Kentuckian, and that that fact is the main reason that lie is to work for Mr. Carlisle. It is believed that there is a distinct understanding between the gottleman from Kentucky and the gentlemr, from Illinois to the effect that the former is to be elected Speaker if he can get votes enough, but that if he cannot make it he is to throw his strength, or as tunch of it as is in his power, for the latter. The fact that Mr Morrison had been the lieutenant of Mr. Carlisle in this canvass would make it easy for the friends of the latter to adopt him as their second choice if their favorite failed. Mr. Cox is not credited with the power of turning over any considerable part of his strength to any one efse, if it should become apparent to him that he had no use for it, but he could induce quite a number of votes, and he would rather have a Western or Southern man chosen than an Eastern man, unless he can be that man, and he is believed to be very friendly with Mr. Morrison. Mr. Morrison, therefore, is keeping himself in the background as a candidate, with the expectation that if the other men cannot beat Mr. Randall they will help him to doit.

CNCLE TILUEN. A Clique Whu Use His Name to Further Their Own Purposes. Washington Special to Cincinnati Enquirer. “Do yon want to know Tilden’s true physical condition, as determined by actual observation?” asked a Democratic congressman to-day. This congressman holds, and has held for several years, a place of authority and responsibility in the management of the Democratic party. In the discharge of his duties to the party he has had occasion to visit Tilden several times, and one of these visits was paid not very long ago. “Well, then, I will tell you,” continued the M. C., “that Tilden is as near dead as a man can be to entitle him to keep out of the grave. He is fed with a spoon, like a helpless baby, and does not pretend to attend to any business. He refers everybody to his man of business, Andy Green. If money is asked for politics, charity or religion, the matter goes to Green. I don’t believe that Tilden takes any interest in polities, or cares anything about politics; but there is a crew who depend upon him for their political breath. Without Tilden they would be nothing. They do all that is possible to keep alive the Tilden influence, and the old man simply permits them to make capital out of his name because he is too indifferent to care anything about it. He may be in a better physical condition now than when I saw him last, a few months ago; but at that time I did not believe lie had life enough in him to last until now. I believe that when Tilden dies some men of the Democratic party will still be intimidated by the fear of his ghost.” MINOR MATTERS. Important Older as to Extra Pay or Certain Postal Clerks. Washington, Nov. 14.—Postmaster-general Gresham has made an order as to extra pay of certain postal clerks about the city offices which will cause those clerks inconvenience. It has been the practice to have experts from the postal railway service assigned to assist the postoffices in the dispatch of mail, and postmasters have been permitted to make these experts allowances from the general postoliice fund. Postmaster-general Greslntm is of opinion that the appropriations cannot thus be intercharged, and lias ordered the practice discontinued. The result will be a material reduction in the salaries of some of the principal postal clerks. The chief clerk of the Superintendent of Railway Mail Service is reduced by this order $1,200. It will affect several in the Chicago office. General Brady's Money. Washington Special. Brady, of star route fame, has been making a great deal of money, it is said, during the past three months. He has been a persistent

and consistent bear, and has spent much of his time at the office of Fisk & Hatch in New York, where he has had a private desk all summer. It is reported that his margins on corn at the present time amount to more I than $150,000. Disbarred from Practice. Washington, Nov. L 4 H. Wills and Norma B. Wills, his wife, of this city, have been disbarred from practice before the Pension Bureau, after a careful examination of the charges made against them, for using deceptive circulars in their business. Notes and Personalities. Washington, Nov. 14. —B. F. Bigelow, a former cashier of the National Bank of the Republic, has been found guilty of embezzlement. Secretary Folger will soon issue another call for 3 per cents. Secretary Folger has written to the collector at San Francisco that if there is any reason to suspect fraud or imposition in the landing of Chinese, he must make a rigid investigation and refuse permission to a passengers to land until satisfactory evidence is produced. Roston Newspaper Changes. Boston, Nov. 14.—Newspaper men here are watching with interest for the outcome of a general overturning in the business and editorial control of the Boston Advertiser. The Advertiseris the only fonr-cent paper in the city, and it is said the establishment, for some time past, has not been a paying property. The stockholders became dissatisfied, and the resignation of Mr. Call, the business manager, was presented on Saturday. The resignation of the editor-in-chief, Mr. Edward Stanwood, has also been presented, and it is hinted that Managing Editor Bacon and one of the leading editorial writers are also to leave. Mr. George H. Ellis, who publishes a religious paper and also conducts a printing establishment, assumes the office of publisher of the Advertiser. The future editorial management is not yet determined. It is stated that the stockholders are not fully decided upon the nature and extent of the coming changes in their paper. From the outside it looks at present as if a reduced expenditure in the publication and editorial .departments might perhaps be followed by a reduced price and an effort to enlarge the reading constituency. Censuring a Postmaster, Boston, Nov. 14.—A Portland special says the report of Inspector Field regarding the postoffice will soon be submitted to Postmaster Goddard for consideration and answer. if he desires to make any. As to the deficits in the accounts of the office, there is no evidence that Goddard knew anything of it until his attention was called thereto last soring by the cashier. The report censures Goddard for lack of familiarity with the office, in that such a deficit could remain unknown to him. The charge that one clerk had been employed at the postmaster's house was also substantiated, and a bad case of favoritism was revealed. There is no evidence to show that tlie postmaster has been subject to clemency on the part of the Postoffice Department. The Window-Glass Workers’ Strike. Pittsburg, Nov. 14.—The strike of the window-glass workers is almost two months’ old, and from outside appearances a settlement is us far off as when the strike was inaugurated. The talk of dissensions among the strikers is emphatically denied by the officials, who assert that the inner workings of the association are entirely harmonious, and that financially they are in a better condition than on its first day, as the glass-workers of the East have responded liberally to calls for aid. The slock of glass in the warehouses is getting very low and manufacturers, in order to fill orders, are importing French glass, rather than submit to the demands of the strikers.

Pennsylvania and tlie Standurd Oil Company. New York, Nov. 14.—The committee of the Pennsylvania Legislature investigating certain charges against the Standard Oil Company, met here to-day for the purpose of examining the officers of the Standard Oil Company, most of whom live here. The company is represented by its counsel, S. C. P. Dodd and M. 4 rmstead, and State of Pennsylvania by Attorney-general Cassidy. Two witnesses were present, but they were not officers of the company. Gowen requested that the examination be adjourned until Jno. D. Archibald and H. M. Flager, officers of the company, could be subpoenaed, and the hearing was adjourned until Friday. Eight Buildings Burned. Duluth, Nov. 15.—Eight buildings burned this morning on Lake avenue, including the storeroom and warehouse of A. McLean it Cos., and the new residence of Capt. Jas. Lloyd. The others were saloon buildings or small residences. Robert Kennedy was asleep over Pratt’s saloon and was burned to death. James Herbert escaped by jumping through a window. A. McLean’s losses are $25,000. The total loss is about $50,000. Insurance light. A Friend's Appreciation of Past Favors. New York, Nov. 14. —An effort is being made to raise a fund for the benefit of the family of Dr. Ewer, to which Edwin Booth lias contributed $2,000. Dr. Ewer was an editor in San Francisco when Booth was comparatively unknown, and gave the actor valuable encouragement in a series of appreciative articles.

Adoption of a Shotgun Platform by Democrats in Mississippi. Friends and Relatives of a Murdered Man Will be Permitted to Reside in Copiah County on Conditions. TIIE VIRGINIA BOURDONS. A Victory Achieved by Trampling Law and Justice Under Foot. Petersburg Letter iu National Republican. Every mail brings fresh proof that the State was bordering on a condition of war, and the only wonder is that the Danville massacre was the only wholesale one that occurred. The Bourbon faction exhausted the supply of firearms everywhere, and how many were brought into the State for the occasion will never be known. A gentleman of high character informed me to-day that a friend of his who was making a purchase of some sort in a store in Baltimore a week before election, and therefore four days before the bloody work at Danville, was told that during tlie brief time he was in the store seven orders for firearms were there received from Danville. Another prominent citizen told me that as early as July a Funder told him that his party intended to buy all the votes they could, and that when they had exhausted that process thoy intended to bully enough to make the thing sure. Another man was told boastinglv hv a Bourbon in October that on the Ist of November his party would spring something on the Coalitionists that would beat them, and that it would be too late for them to counteract it. It is now evident that the mine thus to bo exploded was the race issue, and that the instrumentality was to be the Danville circular. This is shown by the fact that these precious documents were sent into counties prior to Nov. 1, with directions to withhold them from circulation until that day. The circular was the chief burden of discussion at Bourbon meetings between the Ist and the sth. On election day dispatches were sent front Danville saying that the white men were standing in their doorways with shot guns protecting their wives from violence at the hands of the negroes, and they did not dare to leave their homes to go to the polls. Tiiese infamous roorbacks were printed and fell as thick as snowflakes around the streets in remote towns of tiie southwest. Tiie Bourbons in tiiese localities would lake them, and, holding them up to conservative white Readjusters, would say: “Are you a white man? Well, if you are, here is the evidence that the fight lias come down between the white race and its enemies. Which side are you on?” Photographs were exhibited, one of a colored teacher shaking his fist at a delicate white child, causing it to cry, while another represented a black school trustee holding a white child on one knee and a black one on the other. The confident manner in which tlie Bourbons declared that the whites of Danville were at the mercy of the blacks, and tlie aggressive tone in which they demanded that their listeners should instantly decide which race was entitled to their sympathy and support overpowered the amazed and bewildered communities where few blacks resided, and took them completely off their feet, The wildest panic was created by this bold and infamous fraud, and there is no room tor doubt that the declaration that a vote for the coalition candidates would be a vote on the side of the Danville negroes led to the natural inference that to castsuch a vote would be to invite personal violence.

STATEMENTS THAT CANNOT BE DISPROVED. There was no way to disprove the assertions as to the condition of affairs in Danville, for the reign of terror there was such that no operator would have been likely to take the risk of transmitting a truthful dispatch if any one could have been found so careless of his life as to frame one. A letter from that place says that the escape of Sims from there was almost miraculous. It will be remembered that he was the coalition candidate for the Senate in the district in which Danville is situated. He spoke there on the day before the massacre, and exposed the circular, which till then had not been generally seen by any but the Bourbons. It was evidently not intended for circulation at the place where its absurd and grotesque tales could only excite derision. The whites of Danville were in no more danger from the blacks at any time than cats would have been from an equal number of mice. It lias been the boast of the South that while her sons were at the front during the rebellion they relied greatly on the fidelity with which the women and children they had left behind would be cared for by the gentle and affectionate negroes. A member of the military company sent, from Richmond to Danville to preserve order, saysJliat negroes kneeled at their feet, and, clasping them around the knees, ptired out their thanks to God for the arrival of protection. The number of the bodies of the negroes found since the day of the massacre is unknown, hut is believed to be much greater than the public lies yet learned. The reign of terror still continues there, and a committee of forty is about to make an investigation, under Bourbon direction. The entire truth it will be difficult to ascertain at any time, but a committee of the United States senate would doubtless be able to obtain testimony enough, which could not be controverted, to sliow that the Danville affair and many lesser deeds of violence elsewhere in the Slate, together with the highly wrought condition of tiie public mind produced by the lawless methods of the Bourbons, prevented anything like a free expression of the popular will in the recent so-called election.
