After THe Star report of the Danville investiga. tion closed yesterday, Green Willlams, chief of police of Danville, testified that prior to the riot he heard Squire Tolliver, a colored leader, In a speech. advise the negroes to go tothe polls with loaded arms. James Woods, elty sergeant of Danville, a repub- lican, was examined. He described his ‘efforts to Testofe and preserve the peace. He was satisfied that the rot was a sudden ebullition, and not a. remeditated affair. On cross-exatmination he satd it would not have been safe to call out the colored militia (He thought It would prevent violence to put democrats in power at the time. He thought it would aggravate the feeling to put colored men in the peace guard. ‘The Danville circular had no effect in Danville, It was, perhaps, offensive to the colored people. ‘There were some exaggerations in. that circular, but mainly 1t was founded on fact, THR TESTIMONY TO-DAY. In the Danville investigation this morning W. A. Cook, a policeman, testified that there was firing on. both sides. J. F. Williamson, clerk in a store, saw the row from the store.

Labor Question in Congress. ‘TOR CONDITION OF THE VARIOUS BILLS FOR THE RR- LIF OF THR WORKING CLASSES—THE EIGHT HOUR LAW, BTC. The Dill to prohibit the employment of convict labor by contract, reported to the House last Fri- day by Mr. James, of the labor committee, is the third measure recommended by the committee this session to redress the grievances of the Inboring classes, ‘but none have yet. come up for consideration in the House. Mr. Hopkins, bill for the creation of a bureau of labor statistics: stands upon the calendar of the committee of the Whole House, and it 18 expected will be made a special order. Mr. Foran’s bill to prohibit the im- portation of ‘foreign labor under contract stands Well up on the House calendar, but owing to the prodigious amount of privileged matter taking uj the time of the House, there ts no telling when it May be reached, unless it can be brought up by ‘unanimous consent. This it 1s hoped by the friends of the measure may be done, as It is thought hardly Ukely that any one will interpose an objection to the consideration of a measure so directly affecting the labor interests of ‘the country. ‘This Week It 18 expected that a Dill for the en- forcement of the eight-hour law will be reported. Mr. Lovering, chairman of the sub-committee Bering the matter in charge, said to a Star reporter that he thought the committee would report a substitute for the bills now before them (which are merely declaratory), making the law mandatory. Experience, he says, shows that all the declarations: and proclamations have been useless. ‘Their in- vestigations, he said, have shown that the general orders of President Grant, Secretary Lincoln and Secretary Chandler, proclitming the force of ‘the eight-hour law, have in most cases been disre- garded by the governors of the various dock yards, navy yards and arsenals This is more especially true of the yards and arsenals under the Secretary of “War, Secretary Chandler having been more watch: ful Some of the most glaring cases of the viola- Uon of the law are found to exist in the Brooklyn and Kock Island arsenals. In the Kock Island ar- senal the employes are required to sign a contract to work nine and a-half hours a day In summer, in direct violation of a recent order of the department, Mr. Lovering Says the committee is try! to adopt a Dill which will prevent further viola of the law.

BE SAYS THAT THE STAR ROUTE DEFENDANTS HAD INFORMATION THAT MUST HAVE COME FROM SECRET PAPERS IN THE POSSESSION OF MR. W. A. COOK. ‘Mr. Geonge Bliss resumed his testimony before the Springer committee to-day. Before the hear- ing commenced a small package containing the printed report of Mr. Bliss’ testimony, which had deen sent to him,was produced, and he sald: “I sent that by express and left the government to pay the charges, but if ICs not all right you can deduct 1t from my #2 per diem pay.” Mr. Bliss, resuming his testimony, said that In December the combination of the safe was changed, and on Janyary 6th, fol lowing, witness wrote Col. Cook for afl the papers he had’ Cook replied that he had none, but witness knew he had. as on December 27th Cook had written to Woodward, asking for abstracts of papers in the Dorsey cases) Wooiward sent, In response, ab- stracts of papers in 16 routes to Cook. On the 9th of January Cook wrote his reply that he had no Star route papers. On the 16th of March witness wrote again to Cook, naming the papers in detail he wanted. Cook agiuin replied he had none. Wit: hess wrote once more, asking for the papers, to which Cook never replied. Soon after Cook re- ‘signed, and at the lastance of witness the Attorney General wrote Cook, asking for what star route papers he had. Finitly Cook returned the papers n the 16 routes, which Were the papers witness had called for, and Which Cook denied having had. It was ALITTLE REMARKABLE IN WAYS THAT ARE DARK, that the prosecution learned afterwards that the other side had papers in the very sixteen routes that, Cook had. “Isay, in my opinion the papers were retained for the purpose of being copled for the other side.” ‘The examination of witnesses by the defense showed that they had information con- tained in those papers. They could not have ob- falned the Information except from the papers held by the originals of those papers were re- of Woodward and were kept strictly secret— Sosecret that witness himself did not get to see enn 3 Woodward, (sitting behind Rilss)—“Those papers were kept securely locked up in the safe.” NOTHING TO DO WITH BREWSTEX'S APPOINTMENT. Here the witness took up Cook's testimony: that Gen. Brewster had sald to him that he could not doas he pleased with Bliss because he wasindebted to the latter for hls appointment. Col. Bliss sald this was absurd; that he had nothing to do with Brewster's appoiniinent. He said he was with the President, @ great deal Soon after his installation, and one day witness remarked to the President that _he wished things were ina shape that Brewster, could be ap pointed Attorney General. The President re- ‘Sponded that things were In such a sape and that Brewster was to be Attorney General. IN REGARD 10 GOL. CORKHILL, Witness sald that at Elberon Cook and Gibson ex- Pressed doubts of Corkhill, and referred to a case in which Hines had been interested. The repre- sentations of Cook and Gibson very much impressed witness and he found that Macveagn, shag the suspicion. Upon going into the cases they decided that Corkhill ought to be removed, andrwitness found to his great surprise that COOK HIMSELF WANTED TO BE CORKHILL’S SUCCESSOR as district attorney. Cook insisted that he had some right to the position and wanted Bliss to urge Lis claim to the President. Witnessrefused, say- ing Cook had no more claim to the place than any other lawyer here. Finding he could not get the place, Cook wanted his partner, Col: Cole, ap- pointed. Senator Edinunds sald he would not as- Sent to the confirmation of any man in place of Corkhill while the Gulteau case was pending. Wit- ness after looking over the entire fleld saw there (Was nothing of welght to hold against Corkhill; that possibly social influences might have had some effect upon him, but there was nothing more. Everything was going along smoothly in the cases without Corkhtll, and everything asked of Corkhill was cheerfully done. From the time witness came Into the cases there was no chance for Corkhill to be unfaithful. It was reported that Corkhill ‘would, refuse o sign indictments, but when they were sent him he promptly signed them. Corkhill had no inside knowledge of the Was In entire sympathy with the prosecution. assoclates Were all triendly with Dorsey and other defendants, and he was perhaps influenced by that.” It was unfortunate, said the witness, that Corkhil adjourned the grand jury, but witness Knew nothing on that account that would lead to distrust. At the same time be would say he wouid hot have selected Corkhill to prosecute the cases, Witness, learning that Senator Edmunds would object 1 conti a Successor to Corkhill at that Ume, advised the Attorney General to go slow In the matter of his removal. THE REMOVAL OF MR. COOK'S DETECTIVES. In regard to the removal of Cook's detectives Col. Bliss sald he did not remove them. The Attorney General sald he wanted to control the outside ex- penses. Witness had no outside employes, but Cook had, ag the vouchers for their pay showed. ‘The Attorney General wanted these expenses stop- and the men were disch: These detec- Uves were employed long before the jury was made up, and were of no earthly use, sald the wit- ness, and ought to have been discharged, though witness dented having instigated the discharge, WALSH AGAINST BRADY. Col. Bliss explained the Walsh contract and Walsh's clalm of $14,000 for an extra month's pay after the contract Was taken from him He said that Walsh alleged the payment of money by him to Brady, but the record showed. HoUbay Of Une Kind. He’ did not have suMicient confidence in Walsh to proceed in a prosecution depending alto- ether upon his testimony. It was certain that rady would deny Walsh's charge, and 1l would be simply Walsh against Brady. HOW THE DORSEY KOUTES WERE EXPEDITED. Here the witness took up the routes of the Dorsey combination, and showed how the increases and expeditions had been allowed until the compensa- Yon was out of all proportion. S. W. Dorsey did not, he sald, become directly interested until after he left the Senate. [All the fzures of these increases and expeditions have been published in THE Srar.} ‘The route from Bismarck to Tongue river was in- creased from aout $3,600 to over $70,000 in a year, andso on with all the expedited routes He said the prosecution was impressed by the record that all these allowances were in favor of thesame men, and te expeditions were made upon bogus petitions and “all sorts of tttle frauds.” In some cases the Toutes were belng run before expedition by the car- riers at faster thme than the expedition called for, Upon hearing these statisties read Mr, Stewart,ot the committee, exclaimed: “Ob! dear.” WHAT JUKIgS YOU MUST HAVE HAD!” Another route that was expedited by tensot thousands of dollars only ylelded a revenue trom all Its post offices of $761, &c. After ition It fell off to $547. One route that was expedited to about $50,000 did not have a single leer carrier over it for thirty-nine days. Mr. Milliken. —“You presented all these facts in the trials Mr, Bliss Yes, sir.” Mr. Milliken.—“And the Jury rendered a verdict of acquittal?” Col. Bliss sald that these figures were only one feature of the evidence; that fraud in every ton and of all kinds was proved. Mr. Milliken.—“And the jury didn’t convict?” “Mir. Bliss —“No, sir.” Mr, Milliken.—*And yet Col. Cook thinks there 1s nothing so high-toned as a W jury2” Mr, Bils8—“Except a Washington lawyer.” Continuing, the witness said, that on another Toute costing $50,000, 1U was shown that the sub- Contractor regulirly carried the mall in the leg of his AMlessrs. Milliken and Stewart again expressed as- tonishment at Une verdict, and “commented untay- orably upon Washington juries.
