society in Tennessee to see what rapid strides my State is making in the direction of a higher civilization during the past few years. We have resources of minerals and forests, as well as agriculture, that are equal to any .state in the Union. Before the war surplus capital was invested in slaves, and the wealth of the State was obtained almost solely from the result of their labors and their increase. Now it is different, the rich old Bourbons see money in manufactures and are investing their funds by the million in productive industries. In 1888, if the parties are divided upon the tariff issues, Tennessee will he fouud in the ranks of the protectionists. But not this year.” ABOLITION or DUTIES.

Washington, April 3.—President Arthur told a gentleman to day thatMr. Sargentwas recalled from Berlin at his own request. He says that Mr. Sargent cabled him that his situation at Berlin was intolerable, and that he appointed him to the Russian mission because lie thought he would accept it.

THE DANVIEEE INQUIRY. A Number of Witnesses Examined by the .Senate Investigating Committee. Washington, April 3.—Alexander W. Miller (white) was the first witness before the Danville committee to-day. He said that on one occa sion before the riot he heard pistol shots at a distance. A colored man, who was walking in front of him, thereupon drew his revolver and fired, answering the signal, saying at the same time, “My brother, I meet you.” Had seen colored women “butt” white ladies off the sidewalk. S. L. Dance (white) testified to liearinga negro say to a crowd of his fellows that he wanted to get a chance to kill a white man. B. F. Walker (white), an ex-federal soldier and Republican, saw two of the men who were killed by tlie rioters. Several white men picked up one of the bodies and a pistol dropped from the pocket. Heard a colored man deprecating the riot en the ground that it was brought on prematurely. He saw ten or twelve of the colored men in the crowd of rioters flourishing arms and saying to their colored associates behind, “Come on: it is as good a time now as ever." He had heard colored men planning to divide the stores in Danville. Senator Vance—You say you are a Republican' “Yes, sir: I am a Republican.” “How did you vote the last time?” “T voted the Democratic ticket straight.” “How is that?” “Well, I’ll tell yon.” Senator Lapham—Well, I object to that. Senator Vance—l think when a professed Republican votes the Democratic ticket— Senator latpham—That’s the reason why I object—because he is a professed Republican. Senator Vance—Well, I insit upon it. The Witness—Well, I'll tell you. I did not consider there was any issue in Virginia at the last election, except the tugger against the white man, and I am for the white man every time. Senator Lapham (smiling contentedly)—Exactly. Mr. Valentine, a merchant in Danville, testified that lie sold a greater number of pistols to blacks than whites.

MR. BLISS’S TESTIMONY. Preparations Made to Enter Civil Suits in the Star-Rout Cases. Washington, April 3. —George Bliss testified to-day before the Springer committee. He said he had lost money by being in the government employ. He understood that withtu a few days preparations had been made to begin civil suits in the star route cases, and William'H. Bliss, United States District Attorney at St. Louis, was to conduct them. lie could not account for the failure to indict Salisbury. Perhaps the grand jury was influenced by petitions. There were a large number of petitions, and it would be extraordinary if, among those, there were not letters from members of Congress. Mr. Bliss, continuing, said: “In Juno the Attorney-general asked me to see Judge Gresham. He was anxious to prosecute the cases. I saw the Post master-general and had a long talk with him. He said to me he was preparing a detailed statement of the case for the purpose of having suits brought, I thought at one time I had an opportunity to get a civil suit against Dorsey. J made a personal application and asked Brewster to let me take the papers. I found between SIOO,OOO and $200,000 I thought the government could recaver. The proposed civil suit against Dorsey failed on account of the sudden death of Boeder.'” 1 n reference to ex Senator Kellogg. Mr. Bliss said: “Cook is the only man who said we must not do anything with Kellogg, as it would injure the Republican majority in the Senate. Cook was then government counsel. Ilis statement set me thinking. Chandler said to me one time: Poor Kellogg is in a terrible state of mind. He wants me to speak to you. Os course I can’t; I can oulv say treat him fairly.’ As the Kellogg ease now stands, if Walsh's paper don't need Walsh's testimeny to make them links, it is a fitir one, though it has undoubtedly been weak ♦Tied by the course of the witness.*’ MINOR MENTION. \ Son oflfon. W. S. Holman Worsted in a Pugilistic Rout. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, April 3. —This evening’s Critic says: “The Hon. William 8. Holman has a young son named Paul. Paul parts hi3 hair in the middle, and is what vulgar people call a dude. Last night the young man met a person mimed Leach against whom he had a grudge, in front of Sol&ir's, next to Willard's. Hot words ensued between the young gentlemen, and finally both struck out from the shoulder

Paul was knocked out in about two rounds, but his antagonist failed to observe the Marquis of Queensbury rules, and not only struck below the belt, but jumped on Paul. When he had made him acquainted with tlie hard pavement, Leach sat on Paul and pounded him most vigorously about the head and face. He finally asked him if ho was licked. Paul said unto him, ‘I know when I have got enough; I'm no hog; I don't want the earth. Let me up.’” Republican Caucus. Washington, April 3. —The caucus of Republican senators this morning was not very fully attended. The education hill was the only topic under discussion, and several amendments proposed by the caucus committee were approved by the caucus.

Notes and Personalities. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, April 3. —Senator Sherman introduced in tlie Senate, to-day, petitions from the Aultman Agricultural Works, at Mansfield, and other manufactories in other parts of Ohio, against changing the existing patent laws. Congressman Lamb left here this morning for Terre Haute. His friends say he will be renominated without asking it. Mr. I’eelle called up in tho House, this morning, and had passed by unanimous consent, the Senate bill to allow J. H. Woodard three months’ salary, etc,, as adjutant in the late war. Irvine Spencer has been appointed postmaster of the newly-established office at Totten, Darke county, O. Wni, H. Woodward, of Carbondale, 111., and Albert T. Summers, of Decatur, 111., have been suspended from practice in the Interior Department, as pension attorneys. The Civil-service Commission will hold an examination for departmental services, in Alempnis, on April 29. There are in the railway mail service fifteen clerks who draw the salary of sl2 a year each. There are several postoffices in the country at which the annual salary of tho postmaster is only sl. Postal-cards cost the government fifty-four cents and four mills a thousand. Next to the President of the United States the best paid federal official is the Clerk of the Supreme Court. The States of Colorado, Delaware. Florida, Nevada. Oregon, Rhode Island, and Vermont have less than one-half the population of Illinois, but have the same number of representatives in Congress—twenty-two. Pennsylvania has a larger number of postoffices than any other State. Not a clerk in the Pension Office in this city draws less than SI,OOO a year salary, the average for the 1,173 clerks being $1,294. Even the copyists get S9OO a year. These clerks have light labor and short hours. The average salary of the railway postoffice clerks throughout the country is only $977 a year. These men work hard, at the most trying labor, and have long hours. . Counsel for the government in the case of Hallett Kilbourn against ex-Sergeant-at arms John G. Thompson, have filed a motion to set aside the judgment of the ju - $ in the recent triaL

INDIANA POLITICS. Pertinent Pacts as to Harmony Among the Republicans of Wayne County. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Richmond, April 3. —Against the report that has lately gone abroad of grave dissensions among the Republicans of Wayne county, it would be fair to credit the following fact: Out of ten offices for which the Republicans of Wayne county are to nominate candidates on Monday next there is contest over but four. For representative in Congress, though there is another name on the ticket, Hon. T. M. Browne has practically no opposition. Hon. D. W. Comstock is the only candidate for circuit judge, Isaac A. Gormon the only one for sheriff, John F. Robbins the only one for prosecuting attorney, Mark Maudlin the only one for coimty commissioner from the middle district, and Aldison H. Steedy the only one for county surveyor. Considering that the Republican nomination is in this county equivalent to an election, there is certainly evidence of considerable selfrestraint on the part of Wayne county Republicans in the matter of office-seeking. Os the persons named above only two are now serving in the offices to which they seek nomination, so that the hick of contest is not to be attributed to the two term rule altogether. There lias been some concern over a candidate for county commissioner from the eastern district, to fill the vacancy made by the flight of Thomas Hunt, and to serve in his stead at the expiration of his present term. Le Roy Kelly came out for the office some days ago, and he was followed into the field by Ezra E. Hill and Elam J. Brown. Kelly is perfectly competent for the office, but is objectionable to the temperance people. As Hill and Brown were likely to cut into one another, Kelly's prospect was bright for nomination. In ouder that there might be no division of the opposition, efforts were made to get either Hill or Brown off the track. The result of these efforts is that both are off, Hill withdrawing yesterday and Brown to day, and that Abram Oaar, of the firm of Gaar, (Scott & Cos., is out as Kelly’s opponent. Gaar comes out at the solicitation of some twenty of the best citizens, who indorse him in a public card. Silver Coinage. New York, April 3. —A largo meeting was held in the Produce Exchange, to-night, to consider the question of Silver coinage. A memorial to Congress was adopted, praying that body to at once provide for a suspension of the coinage of silver dollars for such a period of time as may lie necessary to readjust the relations of gold and silver coins, and to bring about a gradual absorption of silver dollars.

Richmond, April 3.—The county commissioners have just passed ujon all, save ono, of the applications presented to them during the present term of their court, for license to sell liquor. There were twenty-two cf these applications, but four of them were withdrawn, tho persons filing them becoming frightened at the opposition they were likely to enco inter. Against four of the applications there were no remonstrances, and they were allowed without much question. The remaining ones were strenuously contested, the resistance to them being directed by a law-and-order league, an organization comprising many of the substantial citizens of the town, which employed attorneys and collected whatever evidence was to be bad against the applicliats. The result of the contest is that tho commissioners refuse six of the fourteen contested applications, and have on-: yet to pass upon. This ono is set for a hearing ou Saturday. Burglary at Richmond. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Richmond, Aprils.—Burglars broke into Van D. Brown's grocery, last night, blew open the safe and canied away nearly a hundred dollars.

Probably the only instance of a stick of wood defeating a candidate at an election occurred in this county- yesterday. Avery hard fight was waging between Messrs. Wolvin and Jackson for the supervisor’s seat for Pecatonica. Wolvin, who was supervisor last term, is a money-lend-er, and it was argued at the polls that he was a benevolent man, having just given a poor family a load of wood, at tlia request of the aid com mittee. To this reply was made that it was water elm, useless and cheap. One of Jackson's workers went to the wood pile and brought down a stick of elm. It was placed by the polls, and when a man approached to vote the Wolvin ticket he was shown the stick and told its tale.

THE CINCINNATI RIOTS. The City Quiet and a Better Feeling Shown Toward the Militia. Cincinnati, April 3. —Matters continue quiet everywhere in the city. Portions of the barricades on Sycamore street, near the jail, remain, as a rallyiug-point in case of any further attack. The lower portion of the court-house will soon be protected by a board fence to keep out crowds. The militia is still on duty. The Seventeenth Regiment patrol the sidewalks all around the court-house and jail, and keep everybody from approaching nearer than the curb stone. Though almost every building in the vicinity is marked by bullet holes, which ordinarily would draw erowds of sight seers, there are comparatively few people about. There is no change in the situation about the conrt-house and jail to-night except that tlie crowd of seers became greater during the afternoon and a much more friendly feeling is manifested toward the military guard still surroundthose buildings. The soldiers until to-day have been very careful not to venture upon the streets in uniform, and even to-day in some quarters their presence would be likely to cause a bad feeling, but a great mass of people condemn hostility to the militia as a class because of mistakes make by a few. The death of Leo Vogelgesang, of Columbus, makes fifty dead from the riot. Further details ascertained about the death of Captain Desmond tend to show that there was no deliberate murder in his case, but that he met death from a shot fired at the troops without being aimed directly at any one. It was dark where his troops were at the time, and his death was not known for some time to his own command. At a meeting of Socialists, held to-niglit, it was expected some action would be taken on the subject of riots, but the matter was not discussed. It is announced they will hold a meeting on Sunday next, for tlie purpose of discussing the recent disturbance. Alfred Hopkins, another victim of the riots, died to-night This brings the death list up to fifty-one. He was an old captain and pilot on the river, aged fifty-three. The Trades’ Assembly to-night passed a vote of thanks to members of the veteran regiment of this city, who refused to go to the defense of the murderers in the jail, and commended the mombors of the Fourth Ohio National Guard regiment for refusing to march to the jail on Saturday night, to take part in the attack on the mob. They also voted to ask the Dayton assembly to pass a vote of thanks to members of the Fourth regiment in that city. This action was not taken without opposition from some of the leading members, but a majority favored it. The News Journal has an interview with S. A. Phillips, a member of tlie jury who tried Burner, who has been accused of going to St. Louis to escape mob violence. PliiUlips says he went to St. Louis in pursuance to a plan made before the Berner trial began; that he was at the Alusic Hall meeting on the night the riot began, and remained in Cincinnati without molestation until Sunday night. He says the first, ballot of the jury showed seven for acquittal. He was for murder in the second degree, and the second ballot was eleven for manslaughter, and one murder in the soeond degree. He yielded at last, because of sickness in his family, and he was told he would be kept there thirty days unless ho agreed. After thirty-six hours he voted for manslaughter and that ended it. He thinks tlie newspapers of Cincinnati are responsible for tlie outbreak.

Chicago Socialists. Chicago. April 3, —The Socialists of this city met, to-night, to declare the true cause of the late riots in Cincinnati, which is declared to have been “a premature explosion of general discontent, caused by a firebrand us luciilng and apoooßoc, by so-called leading citizens, who were seeking to divert the attention of the people from the real causes which existed in social inequalities. which have become almost unbearable, by pointing out to them an insignificant petty criininal, an individual murderer, as one of the causes of existing evils and human degeneracy. ’’ The resolutions further declare that the militia wantonly killed fifty or more citizens, and so urged others to retaliation; deprecate the action of the bourgeoise in being led by the rich, who are declared to be liabitual criminals: repudiate tho allegations that it was the Socialists who led tho mob, and demand the disbanding of the State militia as a menace to popular liberty. Young Getz's Funeral, Columbus, April 3. —The funeral of Private Israel Getz, of the Governor's Guard, killed in the recent Cincinnati riot, occurred to-day, with military honors and a large display. Governor Hoadly and staff attended the services and marched in tlie procession. A Forger Captured. Pittsburg. April 3—A man giving the name of Tlieo. C. Eppelin, of Cincinnati, was arrested here to-night for passing a forged check signed Boggs & Buhl, dry goods merchants, on Jacob Alitsch, jeweler, of Allegheny City. When searched nearly $4,000 in forged checks and drafts signed by prominent merchants and manufacturers of this city were found on his person. Eppelin was arrested at the Union Depot as he was about to embark on a western train. He was accompanied by a lady. FAST LONDON LADIES. Princesses, Countesses, and Others Who are Talked About In tlie Clubs. Correspondence San Francisco Argonannt. A fast womau in England is a totally different creature from her sister in America. What is understood by the word in England, when it is applied to a woman, in as independent manner and self-possession in talk and act that carry the possessor not only beyond the hounds of affected prudery and straight lacedness (as some claim), but give her a mannish style in all she says and does, of which horsiness and slang are the usual accompaniments. It docs not follow, nor is it necessary that she should he a flirt (though, of course, she may be, being a woman), for her fastness, as such, does not lie in the direction of affection for tlie opposite sex. On the contrary, should there ho any love exhibited by her one would expect it to bo for another woman instead of a man. In short, though she may be rough and loud, and do things that shock one by their lack of feminine softness and refinement, she is never immoral—that is to say, so far as her fastness is concerned. At all events, if she is, we should not describe lier want of chastity by the term “fast.” We are given to calling a spade a spade in this country, and her derelictions, he she maid, wife, or widow, would be classed under a more definite and decidedly less mealy-mouthed heading than “fast.” Now, Ido not in the least wish to defend tho ways and actions of the women we denominate fast, for nothing is more repugnant to me than they are. A forward, a masculine woman is, 1 take it, as distasteful to all men as must a bashful and effeminate man he to a woman. My object only is to point out tho distinction that exists in both countries as to the meaning and application of the term. Without these few remarks, as an explanatory preface, it would not he believed when I say that in her own quiet way the Princess of Wales is fast. That is to say, she has a good time of her own, and picks out all the good-looking fellows to dance with at a ball. Os course, I know she is very dignified, and cold, and ail that sort of thing—in public. She can’t well be otherwise, witli tiie eyes of Europe upon ker. But in private, when staying at a country-house with a jolly party, it is safe to say she is as larky as the rest of them. There is another thing, too, that people seem to forget when they hoid her up as such an icy paragon; and that is that she wears her gowns as decollete as an opera bouffe actress. X know she set her face against the sleeveless garments, and why? No one would wait long enough for an answer who saw her arms. But 1 have seen herself in a dress the bodice of which was as low as it well could be. She has plenty of chance to be and do anything she pleases, for the Prince's neglect gives her every opportunity. Tlie Princess Louise is decidedly fast. She talks unblnshingly with men on subjects which are usually supposed to come exclusively within the masculine province of dis-

cussion, and can appreciate the point of a jokes whose recital would have delighted Dean Swift.) or would make some other woman's hair stand; on ends. She has a jdliy, hearty laugh, which! is never heard to more advantage than when slieij retells the story of how, bn her return from her* honeymoon, she telegraphed to the Queen afij Windsor: “The Campbells arc coming.” and how her mother absurdly supposed it was a,; delicate announcement of an interesting char t acter. "It was too utterly silly of mother,” she always ends up. “Why, we were hardly a month mar s ried, not that time has miido any difference in] that respect, I am happy to say. ” She is a confirmed smoker, a tiptop judge ofj tobaceo, aud won’t stay at any place as soon as; she finds out the wine isn’t good. She is given.) too (unknown to her mamma, be it understood,; for Lome doesn't care a button), to driving out] alone with young gentlemen, and goes on fish I ing and sketching excursions with them quits’ unattended by any one else. She noverliesitatesi to show not only her feet (which are better out of sight from their size) but a considerable portion of tlie stockings above them whenever oc-j casion offers; aud what is more excusable, for she lias one of the prettiest necks in the world, her evening dresses are about as decollete as a] mail could wish. She is very partial to the at , tentious of good-looking young officers, and hetj husband's Canadian suite had mote than one) attached to it. Another fast one i—the Countess of Lonsdale—l mean Gladys. Though scarcely more than a girl slio goes about by herself like a man, and does tliingsj that young women of her station in Rer mother's! time wouldn't have dared. She is wonderfully) pretty, and has a most perfect figure. She is an other extremist in tlie matter of decollete evening dress, her frequent trips to Paris, which slit > makes quite alone with her maid, having doubt less rendered her decidedly Frenchy in that ro j speet. I am aware that enough things have been said about her to insure her being classed as fast, in Hie American sense, if they were true, which! is extremely doubtful. The envy of less-favored) women has'much to do with the stories about! her. Still, that she sails pretty close to the wind) can't he gainsaid in the face of her remark to id man who sat next to her at a dinner party on- V, night: “I know there are lots of women win * say I wear my gowns too low, hut they should) remember it is not for their benefit I do it at al! events.” Her bosom friend. Lady Augusta Fane, is 11 n mistakably fast. She is the daughter of thej Countess of Stradbroke, who got herself into! such a mess some time ago by writing some] scandal to tlie world about the present Earl ol Lonsdale and his wife. She goes an out-and-out] quick pace, docs Lady Augusta, and is a fit com panion for the rapid Gladys. Her husband does'nt seem to care what she docs. Lady Hilda Higgins. Lord Wileßesaa’s daughter, can slap a man on the shoulder and say, “Tip us the torch, me hoy,” when she wants a light for her cigar cite with as much ease as though she were only asking to he shown anew stitch in crochet, anil to sec her chase her partner at times all over the place to hit him a whack with her hat because lie missed an easy half volley is only equaled by the extensive display of decorated hosiery sh'cj unreluctantly makes during the performance She was a great beauty as Lady Hilda,' Finch-Hatton, and exchanged her father’s pa tronymic for the plebeian one of Air. Higgins, of' the Guards—a great swell, by the by, and ones of the Prince of Wales's set—whose money made) up for the lowness of his name. Lady Seabright is undoubtedly fast. She is ans amateur actress of tlie most pronounced charac ter. and thinks nothing of sending to dashing! young gentlemen such telegrams as those: “il am Pauline to-morrow night at tho Windsor: come and be my Claude;’’ or, “Will you be my. Romeo for two nights at tlio Willoughbys?” She is a great gambler, and can sit tip all night over baccarat or lansquenet without losing her anpe tite for breakfast, though she may have made id painful hole in her quarter’s allowance at lie: banker's by the checks she has parted with to, her adversary. She is more like a man than some men one meets. Lady Florence Dixie I need not speak of. Sin is too well known to need any reference from me. For the same reason do 1 leave out Airs Langtry and Airs. Cornwallis-West. Not that, either could fairly be put beside those I have) luciiiiouod. Tlii'ro tviMl a iinxo. X dnvo say, tliatj the Jersey Lily’s little ways justified no designation than fast, and that she was thought] to have no harm in her. I don't say that she hanow. But assuredly her unblushing behavior) with Air. Freddie Gebhardt, and her acceptance of jewelry from him and other young Amcri tans, mnst put her beyond the pale within which the others have kept. In England I might say, that Airs: Langtry is now socially, as she was! financially, ruined —no matter what the new., paper correspondents say to the contrary.

INTELLIGENT ANIMALS. An Editor’s Horse—General Kilpatrick's Favorite Steed. Ellcnville Journal. The white horse, Frank, driven by the editor of this paper for the past two years, has fro quently exhibited more than ordinary intelligence. The year before last we lived in Green field, driving to the village, a distance of four miles, daily on week days. On Sundays wet were accustomed to go in the opposite direction: for public worship. The horse being brought to the door would, on week-day mornings, when’ bidden to go, turn at once toward Ellenville. and proceed umiuestioniugly to his journey's end. On Sunday mornings ho would as unhesi l tatingly proceed up the road, and make his way ' to the little country church. Frank's servicawere also on Sunday frequently in requi sition to give members of the family a. ride toward the village, the usual turn ing point, for returning being on the top of the hill at Cratf Wood's place. This the horsisoon came to understand, and at whatever houi on Sunday he was driven down the road he wouldat this point slack up, bear out of the track and, prepare to turn about; in fact, he was several times allowed to have his way, and more than., once, wholly undirected by rein or voice, he thus! swerved aside, then ‘"cut" and “backed,” making the turn safely and trotting off homeward in the most matter-of-fact fashion. To make Frank; keep the track and pass this place at any hour: on Sunday always required force upon the reins' and urging. And it is a fact that though driven:, over the road every week day—and frequently twice—he never on any other occasion than Sunday exhibited the slightest disposition to hall or turn about at that point. Mr. Gilbert Du Bois. when county snperin i teudent of schools, owned an intelligent mart-i that carried him all over the county on his torn-si of visitation to tho district schools. Mr. Dud Bois has informed us that years later, after liis I removal to this side of the mountain, when on| business trips through Sullivan or Orango coun tits, he frequently' li.-ul to use some force to pro * vent the animal from turning in and stopping atf country school-houses along the rond. Speaking of horses, we are reminded of an incident related to us by General Kilpatrick, showing on the part of a horse retentive memory, prompt recognition of his master's voice, and a joy little less than human athcaringthe familiar tones after a long separation. Old Spot, theGeneral's favorite war-horse, bore his master! gallantly on long and perilous rides and in thethick of many a desperate fight, himself morethan once feeling the prick of rebel steel and the sting of rebel lead. Subsequent- to the war General Kilpatrick was sent to South America He left the old horse at the farm, with orders tlurt lie should lie kiudly cared for. Returning alter an absence of several y-ears, tho Genera! • reached his home near night, and was for some ' time occupied in exchanging greetings with his*] family and friends. He did not, however, long,' neglect to inquire after the old horse. Learn - ing that Spot was at pasture in a distant, field, the General sent for him, and a little later was told that liis favorite stood securely tied to a post at the entrance of tho grounds some clitanco away. The General hastenod out onto tinpiazza, from whence, peering tlirongh the even mg shadows, ho descried tire form of the old vet eran, who stood demurely gnawing at the post. Just the one word, “Spot!” rang out over the lawn. Like an echo came back the answering neigh. With a snort and a bound the old charger snapped the halter as if it had been a thread., cleared the fence at a leap, and, with arched? neck and ears proudly erect, spurned the intervening turf like a race horse until he stood by the piazza, where with joyful whinny he laid his head upon his master’s breast. Added the Gen oral: “We hugged and caressed each other like lovers, and I am not ashamed to say that no wel * come I received that day warmed ray heart more than that of old Spot."
