THE IIAM'ILLK INVESTIOATIOX.t
WASHINOTON , February 21. The first
witness in the Danville investigation to
day was J. D. Bhckwoll ( white ) , judge
of the corporation court of Danvtllo. Ho
testified to the circumstances loading to
the riot , and said the whites formed in
line and fired a volley at the negroes.
The discharge ivas like that of well-
chilled soldiers. Witness was surprised
when the smoke cleared away to see that
no oxecutionlmd been done. Ho did not
issue warrants for the arrest of the
rioters.
Senator Sherman handed the witness a
copy of the Danville circular , and asked
if its statements were true. Witness re
plied that some were , but in his opinion
the great majority were false. The ne
groes wore in a largo majority in every ,
ward in Danville. There never had
been a time when they could not have
elected a negro to fill every position in
the town council. As tt matter of fact ,
the whites had always had a niajority in
the council , and power to remedy the evil
complained of in the circular. It was in
the power of any man who signed the
circular to learn that certain of its state
ments were false. Witness did not ac
cuse all the signers of intentional false
hood ; men had been so blinded by pas
sion as to bo unable to jud o impartially.
Witness is a native of Virginia , and
served for four years in the confederate
army ,

> STHUCIGU ! toil A CONVENTION.
The executive committee of the demo
cratic national convention mot to-nicht
and transacted routine business. The
report of the sub committee oppointed to
audit th'o.accounts of the committee woa
received , showing a balance of $1,000 in
the treasury. Delegates from cities de
sirous'of securing the national convention
are hard at worK. The Chicago delega
tion Bcoms to be making the greatest dis
play , and its rooms are constantly filled.
The delegation appears to have a largo
fund to draw on , and entertains lavishly.
The Cincinnati men hove not given up
the fight , but are not hopeful. St. Louis
is Chicago's principal competitor , but
within the past 24 hours Saratoga has
loomed up as a strong rival , and may
carry off the prize should the fight be
tween Chicago and St. Louis grow so
fierce as to prevent a selection of either
place.
Later information has been obtained
from members of the committee to-night ,
and the best opinion is that Chicago will
have about 10 votes on the first ballot ,
and St. Louis 12. There are 4 or C votes
for Saratoga , which , on the second bal
lot , it seems at this writing , are most
likely to go to Chicago. Twenty votes
are necessary to a choice. As to the
time , the moat of the committee seem to
favor fixing three or four weeks after the
republican convention. A meeting of
democratic territorial delegates in con
gress , and prominent democrats from the
territories , was hold to-night , and reso
lutions were adopted urging the national
committee to take some action looking to
the admission to the national convention
of ruprcsentitives from the territories and
giving them votes.
THE MIE8ENTATION OK TUB ALEUT.
The report of Secretory Frolinghuysen
accompanying the president's message in
regard to the presentation of the steamer
Alert to the United States by Great
Britain , says that in the search for a
steamer for the proposed Greely relief
expedition , attention was early called to
the Alert as peculiarly fitted for this ser
vice , and that a private intimation was
conveyed to Minister Lowell that the
British government had not forgotten the
considerate action of the United States
in the matter of the Arctic steamer Reso
lute , and that if the Alert would be of
any use , she would bo presented to this
government. The suggestion that she
would bo of use was made , and the vessel
accordingly given to the United States
unconditionally. This was duly acknowl
edged with thanks by the president on
behalf of the people of the UnitodStatos.
The facts in regard to the Resolute are
that she belonged to the British govern
ment , and was abandoned in the Arctic
seaa , but'was discovered and brought to
the United States by American soamnn ,
was fitted up by this government , and re
turned to Great Britain , the American
officers who took her there being re
ceived by the queen and treated with
marked official and personal courtesy.

UMONTOWN , Pa. , February 21 , Tin
scene of yesterday's torribl disaster wa

majority wore simply curious , but man'
came with the varuust intention of iuves
tigating , and if possible ascertaining th
cause of the explosion. Heretofore ga
has not caused much trouble ii
western Pennsylvania mines , but ii i
evident a vast ijuantity had general )
i a short time without being discovered.
. majority of the exports who examined
line this morning incline to tno bo-
iof that the explosion resulted from
ailing of a portion of the roof in ono of
lie chambers and exposing a crevice
illod with fire-damn , etc. They
ro not however willing o stnko

noli family bury their own dondi The

xponscs. There are none hero who
otisuro the company. The opinion is
nivorsal that the explosion cannot bo
charged to their neglect , an the shaft was
modal. The most approved appriaiicen
were used for safety and greater prej
Millions wore taken than required by
aw. The families of the dead minors
re not in immediate destitute circum-
tances , but the sudden withdrawal of
upport , caused by the taking oil'of bus-
muds , fathers and brothers , will be so-
iously felt in the near future. Many
mil their lives insured , Only last week
n insurance ngout circulated among the
lines and minors , and n largo number

UNIONTOWN , February 21. A closer
( lamination of the mine leads many to
) olio\o that the disaster resulted Irom
mpropor ventilation. The mine inspoc-
or said ho was convinced that the heavy
gaa must hnvo come from a break in some
vacant room , and the room filling up , the
as ran over and followed along the roof
ntil some minor touched it oil' with his

Br.UM.v , February 21. The North Gcr-
miin ( Jaxotto , ( Bismarck's organ ) ropolt.
the attncko of the opposition newspapcis
on the decree of Bismarck relative to the
Lasker resolutions. It saya they do not
express the slightest indignation at the
attempt of a foreign body to interim u in
the internal affairs of Germany , The
request addressed Binnarck by Minister
Sargent was of such remarkable- character
that it could only bo explained by his
ignorance of diplomatic usaco. It
amounted to nothing lorn than asking the
oniporor to endorse the veto of a foreign
body and hand it vised to the Uoichstag ,
for Bismarck's duty is simply to oxoculo
the commands of the emperor. Bismark
is not in the employ of the international
democracy by the German emperor , in
same way that tlio American congress had
attempted to cause tlio glorification of
the late loader of the eocctaionista by the
emperor , so could any foreign progressist
body , seek to ( jio a vote of confidence
in 11 err Richter , or a socialist body a
similar vote in Herr Bobot.
The National Gazette says : Bismarck's
decree is deprived of all sting for congress
and the American people , because the
whole affair is made entirely a 'matter of
Gorman internal policy.
The Berliner Tageblatt says : The
resolution of the American congress ,
which Bismarck is unwilling to impart to
the reichstag WOH long ugo com eyed to
the whole nation through the press. In
deed the publication of the resolution in
the "Official Garotte" nho\\s Bismarck
himsoU arranged to give tlio German
people what ho refused to transmit to
the roiahstag , namely a demonstration of
respect to Herr Laskor by the people
upon the other side of the ocean.
BBHLIN , February 21. The Doutsches
Tagesblatt yesterday contained a eavago
attack on Minister Sargent.
The North Gorman Gazette , in alluding
to the remarks of The National Gazette
about the American contrjbitions ) to the
relief funds for tlio sufferers from the
Rhino inundations , says : "Wo should
like to call attention to tlio fact that the
debt of gratitude contracted then towards
America may be logically paid by raising
funds in Germany to help relieve the
sufl'erera from the present flobds in
America. "
The National Ga/etto opposes the com
ments of The North Gorman Gazette
upon Laskor and says : "That the
courtesy of a foreign legisla
tive body could bo regarded as
an act of interference and like to provoke
ill feeling could bo the opinion only of a
people who cannot hoar p , word of pn\iso
addressed to a political'adversary. " Fur
ther , regarding the assertion of the North
Gorman Gazette , concerning the igno
rance of diplomatic usages displayed'by
Minister Sargant , in his .note to Bismarck
transmitting the Laskor resolution , The
rational Gazette says : "Thoro la no
oubt that the same assertion would
have been made if the resolution of the
louse of representatives had been sent
> y Minister Sargent dirsct to the presi-
ent of the roichstag. Wo do not inol
iclincd to take Minister Snrgont's part
ut it is to bo regretted that an element
f personal ill feeling BliouM _ bo apparent
the treatment of this question.
Semi-official newspapers openly do-
inand the recall of Minister Sargent. The
unich Xeitung charges Sargent with
aving a schema to influence the next
lections in America by his diplomatic
onduct at Berlin. It is thought certain
hat an interpellation wiil bo made in the
oichstag , regarding the Lasker affair.
V Berlin correspondent of The Times
iays : It is clear that Minister Sargent
las not boon forgiven , for informing the
iVoshingtou government that the
ixcluslon of American poik from Ger
many was an agrarian aud not a sanitary
measure.

WAHHINOTON , February 21. Mr. Van
Eisendecker , German minister , said to a

to-day that ho had not yet received any
official notice of the return of the. resold-
ion in regard to the death of Herr La *
{ or. Ho said , however , ho had road the
dispatches from Berlin published to-day ,
and was not surprised at their nature , ai
the statement made by Prince Bisnmrclj
was just such a ono as ho supposed woulc
be mado. Ho believed the explanation
would bo entirely satisfactory as showing
no offense hod been given and no ill-feel
ing created by the resolution , and ho die
not think Bismarck's Action would give
rise to a feeling of indication in thii
country.
