FROM WASHINGTON, THE DANVILLE INVESTIGATION, ‘WasniNgron, February 21.—The first witness in the Danville investigation to- day was J. D. Blackwell (white), judge of the corporation court of Danville. He tostified to the circumstances. leading to the riot, and said the whites formed in line and fired a volley at the negrocs. The discharge was like that of well. drilled soldiers. Witness was surprised when the smoke cleared away to see that no execution*had been done. He didnot 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 wete, but in his opinion the great majority were false. The ne- groes were in a large majority in every ward in Danville. There never had been a time when they ceuld not haye elected a negro to fill every position in the town council. Asa matter of fact, the whites had always had a majority 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 be unable to judge impartially. Witness is a native of Virginia, and served for four years in the confederate army, STRUGGLE FOR A CONVENTION, The executive committeo of the demo- cratic national convention met to-night and transacted routine business. The report of the sub committee oppointed to audit the.accounts of the committce was 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 seems to be making the greatest dis- play, and its rooms are constantly filled. The delegation appears to have a large 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 & 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 8t. Louis 12. There are 4 or b 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 most 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 held to-night, and reso- lutions were adopted urging the national committee to take some action looking to the admission to the national convention of representitives from the territoriesand giving them]votes. THE PRESENTATION OF THE ALERT, The report of Secretary Frelinghuysen 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 refiel expedition, attention was early called to the Alert as peculiarly fitted for this ser- vioce, and that a private intimation was con to Minister Lowoll 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 be presented to this government. The suggestion that she would be of use was made, and the vessel i Neb.,trom the 1ith day ol ¥ob. 1884, w the 16th day | Jo od. J R CANIY, Applicant.

ARTHUR. Mr. Randall (dem. Pa.) called for the reuding of the report accompanying tho message, as the offer was 80 generous coming from a friendly power it ought to be treated with respect. The report was read and several times applauded. Mr. Randall asked unanimous consent that the communication be spread upon the journal of the house as a mark of the sentiment of the house. He further sked that the communication be referred to the committee on foreign affairs with the object of having a more formal and appropriate recognition of the act of the British government. [Applause. | “‘T object,” exclaimed Mr. Finerty (ind., 111.) Mr. Randall then put the request in the form of a motion, which passed, M. Finerty and Mr. Robinson (dem., N.

THE BISMARCKIAN INSULT, GERMAN T'RESS COMMENT, By, Fobruary 21, —The North Ger- man Gazotto, (Bismarck's organ) repels the attacks of the_opposition newspapers on the decrce of Bismarck relative to the Lasker resolutions. It saya they do uot express the slightest indignation at the attempt of a foreign body to interfero in ., The request addressed Birmarck by Klimutnr Sargent waa of such remarkable character that it could only be explained by his ignorance of diplomatic usage. It amounted to nothing less than asking the emporor to endorse the voto of a foreign body and hand it vised to the Reichstag, for Bismarck’s duty is simply to exveute the commands of the emperor. Bismark is not in the employ of the international democracy by the German emperor, in sameo way that the American congress had attempted to cause the glori the late leader of the secessionists by the emperor, 8o could any foreign progreasist body, seek to give a vote of confidence in Herr Richter, or a socialist body a similar vote in Herr Bebet. The National Gazette says: Bismarck's decreo is deprived of all sting for congress and the American people, bocause the whole affair is made entirely a mattor of German internal policy. The Berliner Tageblatt says: The resolution of the American congress, which Bismarck is unwilling to impart to the reichstag was long ago conveyed to the whole nation through the press. In- deed the publication of the resolution in the ‘“‘Ufficial Gazette” shows Bismarck himselt arranged to give the German people what he refused to transmit to the reichstag, namely a demonstration of respect to Herr Lasker by the people upon the otherside of the ocean. Beruix, February 21.—The Deutsches Tageshlatt yesterday contained a savage attack on Minister Sargent. The North German Gazgtte, in alluding to the remarks of The National Gazette about the American contributions to the relief funda for the sufforera from the Rhine inundations, says: ‘“We should like to call attention to the fact that the debt of gratitude contracted then towards America may be logically paid bi" raising i sufferers from the present floods America,” The National Gazette opposes the com- ments of The North German Gazette upon Lasker and says: ‘‘That the courtesy of a foreign _legisla- tive body could be regarded as ill feeling could be the opinion enly of a people wzhn cannot hear a word of praise addrossed to a political adversary.” Fur- ther, regarding the assertion of the North German Gazette, concerning the igno- rance of diplomatic ~usages display bfi Minister Sargent, in his note to Bismarc] transmitting the Lasker resolution, The National Gazette says: ‘There is no doubt that the same assertion would have been made if the resolution of the house of representatives had been sent by Minister Sargent diract to the presi- dent of the reichstag. We do not tael inclined to take Minister Sargent’s part but it is to be regretted that an element of personal ill feeling should be apparent iu the treatment of this question, Somi-official newspapers openly de- mand the recall of Minister Sargent, The Munich Zeitung charges Sargent with having a scheme to influence the next olections in_America by his diplomatic conduct at Berlin., It is thought certain that an interpellation wiil be made in the reiuhlhf, regarding the Lasker affair, A Berlin correspondent of The Times says: It is olear that Minister Sargent has not been forgiven. for informing the Washington government that the exclusion of American potk from Ger- many was an agrarian and not a unltlry[ measure. | OF COURSE HE THINKS 50. ‘WasniNgToN, February 21,—Mr, Van Eisendecker, (German minister, said to a representative of the Press to-day that he had not yet received any official notice of the return of the resoln- tion in regerd to the death of Herr Las, ker.
