Prince Bismarck said he was nxious that the emperor should be spared all unnecessary fatigue, and requested me to 1ay down the rules as to the number of inter wiews which his majesty might safely grant each day, the duration of such Interviews, et ete. 1 informed the chancellor that I had already drawn up some rules of the kind which 1had given tothe hoffmarshal. Prince Bismarck furthor said he would be glad to sesist mo in every way to save the august patient all worry and fatigue, adding that until the foreign princes arrived for the late emperor's funeral, his majesty need not be bothered and could remain perfectly quict.” THE END DRAWING NEAR. 8ir Morell Mackenzie deals fully with the @vents of the night of Apeil the 11th and the following day, conscious of the ignorant clamor that had beon raised against him @bout the ill-fitting canula tubes, which those ‘who have perused the story understand were eaused, in a great measure, by the errors of r. Bramann in deviating to the right of the wedian line when he performed the opera- #don of tracheotomy, aud of inserting a tubo Suat aid not fit, and so created a wound that made it dificult for others to fit. “On the might of April 11, the emperor was seized with sovere coughing between midnight and L o'clock. At 1:30 a. m. Mr. Hovell noticed $hat aithough air passed froely through tho eanula the breathing was accompanied By anoise as if there was something pro- fecting below the lower end of the tube. On removing the canula the noisoceased, Show- fng that the lower cdge of the posterior part of the canula must have slightly pressed on to the posterior wall of the trachea. He slanted the tube more away from the right sido and inserted & pad under the lower edge of the shield, The noise was somewhat les but did not entirely and the emperor also breathed more quickly than usual. Mr. Hovell was summoned several timos and on each occasion relieved the sufferer by plac- ing little pads under the shicld.” THE EMPEROR'S DEATH WARRANT. “At8a m. I came on duty and determined totry & new tube, but thought professional courtesy required that 1 should request the presence of Prof. von Bergman, as this tube was different in shape from auy of tho which he gave up to me when the case was formully surrendered to me by the German doctors at San Remo, Tnere was veally no meed of his presence,but it is the etiquette of the profession, and I therefore summoned him by messcuger. Little did 1 think that it would have such fatal consequences, and it is no exaggeration to say that theso hastily penned lines proved to be the ewperor's @eath-warrant. 1t was 5o'clock in the after- noon beforo he arrived. As soon as he came into my room I noticed that he was ® state of great excitement. Whether this sgitation was due to exaggerated reports he may have received as to the emperor’s condi- tion or because of a different nature I am not avle Lo say. But from over-excitement or some other cause von Hergman behaved n a most extraordinary and altogether unac countable manunor. I briefly explained the circumstances, and showed him the tube which I had got ready.” WIHAT WAS TH[S— ASSASSINATIO! ““We then proceeded to the emperor’s room accompanicd by Mr. Hovell, each of us carry- ing several tubes. We found the emperor engaged in writing. ‘The respiration was dis- tinctly audible, but beyond this there was not the slightest indication of any difficulty in breathing. Professor von Bergman placed a chair opposite the window and waved his hand for the emperor to sit down upon it. Thereupon withoyt making any remarks he quickly undid the thing which kept the canula fn position, pulled the latter out, and with considerable force endeavored to insert one, which he had in his hand, and which bad not been provided with the necessary appurte- nances, The instrument was forced into the meck, but no air came through it. The em- peror's breathing then became very much embarrassed, and the professor withdrew . the tube, This was followed by violent coughing and considerable hemorrhage. Prof. von Bergman next scized a tampon canula covered with sponge, cut the sponge quickly off and tried to push the tube into the wind-nipe again. Apain no air came through the canula, and it was clear that instead of entering the air passage it had been forced downward in front of the trachea, piercing the soft tissue and making what is technically known as a falso passage. Again the professor had to pull out the tube, and again its withdrawal was followed by violent coughing and streams of blood. To my consternation Prof. von Beorgman then pushed his finger deeply in #he wound, and on withdrawing it, tried to osert anothor tube. He again failod, how- ‘1 ' aver, and again the attempt was followed by i i coughing aud by streams of blood. The em- peror was saved further torture by the ar- wival of Dr. Bramatn, to whom Dr. von Borgman at once ylelded the oase, and he, taking a moderate-sized canula, No. 8, Ger- man measure, passed .u with the greatest ease into tho trachea.” VON DERGMAN DISMISSED, { “Ihe emperor sent for meafter he had been in bed, and had somewhat recov- ered from the effects of his two hours' tor- turing by von Bergman and asked what that man had put into his throat. He went on: “I hope you will not allow him to perform any further overation on me.’ I answered that after what I had seen that day I should have had to resign if he had been permitted to touch the throat of his majesty’ again, In the face of this von Bergman has not hesi- tated to assert that his majesty had ex- pressed himself to him with fervid gratitude, and shook his haud, all of which is absolutely false. He not only was barbarous in the ex treme, but his action in thrusting his finger fnto the wound without first dipping it in some antiseptic fluid may have poisoned the irritated tissues, in fact must have doneso.” IT WAS THE CAUSE. “The next day my worst fears were con- firmed. The temporature of the neck was 108 Fahrenheit,and pus began to be discharged in abundance from the lower part of the wound. On passing over the front of the meck und carrying the hand upward, matter could be scen to well out more profusely This proved that an abscess had already formed in front of the trachea where the “tube hadbeen pushed in by Bergman. The pus was certain to burrow downward to- ward the chest, and it was ouly too likely that nearly the whole of the front of the meck would be converted into a huge abscess fuvolving widespread disorganization of the structures round about the trachea, gradu. ally undermining the patient’s health aud strenzth and leading only too surely to hectic fover and to death. The fatal complication was in no way the natural re- sultof the disease. it was attributable solely to Bergman's vicious stabbing with an un guarded tube aud to his insertion of his un- washed finger. In view of the serious as- pect which the case was assuming I thought 4 right to inform the emperor that he wa fn a position of considerable dan- ‘ger, and that it was necessary for bim to take action upon such watters as he wished to close up. He received this com- .. munication with his usual perfect calmness and shook me warmly but gravely by the . hand, saying slowly, ‘I am much obliged to you for telling me. I hope, however, I shall get bettor for the sake of my people.’ He 1+ @ied soon ufter.” MINISTENTAL COMPLICATIONS, Shortly after the emperor’s death Prince . Bismarck sent for Sir Morell Mackenzio and - piter introducing it Lo tho young ewperor, invited him to retire with him to en inner room, where he sugyestod that a brief teport of the illness shoutd be drawn up. Sir Morell assented and said that he should 1oa: for London in & few days and would assuredly write it be- fore he departed. After this conversation he was very much surprised when an official ar- rived the next day from the ministeriam and nsked for it. He replied that it was not writ. ten yet. “‘Dictate it to me," said the oficial, ‘I shall be happy to write it down.” Sir Morell objected that he could hardly dash off an important document in that way. “It is wanted at the ministeriam,” romarked the official, and Sir Morell agreed o write it while the official waited. THE REPORT. Sir Morell wrote as follows, Scinoss FREDERICKS CRoNA, June 16, 1388, —It is my opinion that the disease from which the Emperor Frederick died was cer. The morbid process probably menced at the deeper tissues and thoe carti- lagenous structure of the larynx became affected at a v early date, A small growth, which was present when I first ex- amined the late emperor, was removed by e, and though all the portions removed by e were submitted to Prof. Virchow, Lie was unable to detoct in thom any dence of cancer. Examinations made, bowever, in the beginning of March by Prof. Waldemayer led that pathol- ogist to believe that cancer was then present. Whether the disease had beon originaily cancerous or assumed a malignant character some months after its first appear- ance, it is impossible to state. The fact that pericondriasis and caries of the cartilages played an active part in the development of the discase no doubt contributed to make it impossible to form a decided opinion as to its nature till quite recently.

But this is not the end of the book. e last part is a recapitulation of the post mortem, of the tactics of the court to exonerate the court doctors, whose actions and intlu ace had been so fatal, and of the pamphlet war among the medical men which broke out with extreme virulence, Of this last part it has not been felt necessary to offer u synopsis. e e RAPH NOTES., TEL There was no material change in the strike situation at Chicago yesterday.

GOSSIF MIOM BERLY MacKenzie's B dignation in many. (Copyright 188 by New York Assoctated Press) BExLIN, Oct. 13 <Only & summary of Dr. MacKenzie's book is yet accessible to the public here, but enough is known of its con tents to arouse savage indignation in official circles. Putting aside the medical dispute the charges which Dr. MacKen levels at Prince Bismarck, of inciting the German doctors to entrap him into a doubtful declara- tion as to the nature of the emperor's dis ease, are {21t to be u poisonous slander on the reputation of the chadcellor. The simulta- noous appearance of a lotter of the Empress Frederick to Dr. MacKenzie indicating bis treatmont, is held to prove coucerted action es Groat In- to blacken Prince Dismark's character, Dr. MacKenzie's attack on Drs. Ger- hardt and Bergmann can be an wered in the courts of law here or in England, and can be met also by the opinions of eminent Kuropean specialists not Gerwan, but Prince Bismarck is power less to deal with Dr. Mackenzie, He will, however, use every recource of his craft to render the Empress Frederick powerless to do him further harm, The report circulated yesterday regarding the theft of a ciphier code from the emperor's room indicates that the chancellor's game of surveillance over the ex-empress, which ceased by ordor of Kmpecor William aftor ter surrender of Frederick’s papers, will bo rencwed. A watch will be kept over her partisans and bher movements, in- cluding her proposed visit to Windsor. Meanwhile Bismarck is having a bad time He s suffering froma a rencwal of his attack of gout in_serious form, partly arising from worry. It is said that his condition will probably oblige him to retire from public af- fairs within a fow months. The progressists overlook the fact, well known in official cir cles, that Emperor William's experiences in Vienna and Rome have riveted him closer than ever to Bismarck, whose policy has made him feel helplessly dependent upon the guidance of the chancellor, Popular feeling certainly sides with Drs. Bergmann and Gerhardt against Dr. Mackenzie's aspersions, yet the progress- ist papers select the most offensive passage for prominent comment. The congress of naturalists, in session at Cologne has already adopted a vote of censure of Dr. Mackenzie, and the members of the various Berlin institutes, clinical, pathological and physiological, and everybody associated with the medical profession, condemn the English physicia The prosecution has been baffled in their search for the original diary, though they have sccured the copy from which the Geffecken extracts were made. Itis in the ndwriting of a person named Krug, now dead, who was an official of the court, and was for cighteen ars inthe service of the theu crown prince, Krug accompanied the crown prince every- where, and often acted as his amanuensis, His widow has thice manuscript volumes of memoirs of the crown prince writlen by Krug, embodying passdges in the diary pub- lished by the Deutsche Rundschan. Inquiry hinges upon the gquestion: Does Geffecken speak the truth when he says he got the diary from Frederick with his permis- sion to publish i, or,did he procure a copy through Krug or sdme other person belonging Empress Frederick’s party! Judge Kirsch- fela, of the Berlin courd, who bhas been in- structed from Leipsic to conduct the inquiry, is trying to discover whether Geffecken acted of his own initiative in publish- ing tho diary, or if ho was prompted to publish 1t through secrecy is maintaived, everything known #oes to encourage Geffecken's friends in the hope that the prosecution be unable to prove treasonable intent on the part of the sed or complicity in the plans of political personages. Advocate Predoche, declining to plead for Geflecken, Advocate Woffron has been retained to defend hiw. The reve- lations of the diary in relation to the repug- nance of King Ludwig of Bavaria to the in- corporation of his kingdom into the German empire is confirmed by semi-oflicial declara- tious in the Bayerische Vaterland, and to the effec that when the project of restoring the ompwe was mooted, King Ludwig flrst asked the emperor of Austria, and next the czar to support him 1n resisting such a step. Doth refused to interfe and King Ludwig only assented to the proposal after getting the opinion of his war mister that the Bavarian army could be relied upon to resist the weor- poration, The official journals chant hymns of peace over Emperor William’s progress in Austria and Italy, still loud undertoens of war con- tinue to produce a sense of insecurity, The Fremdenblatt publishes advices from War- saw announcing the formation of a fortified camp of the first order near the German frontier, opposite Theon, and the exten- sion of the works of the citadel of Novgorgiwik, requiring no less than two hundred new cannon. Other reports, to the effect that a supplementary military con- vention has been signed by the emperors William and Francis Joseph and King Hum- bert, and that it has been decided to increase the effoctive forces of Austria and Italy, put another gloss on tue meaning of Emperor William’s journey. There are strong symptoms of a ival of strength among the progressists. At Konigs- berg the national liberals have rejected the conservatives' proposals for a colition, and have concluded a compact with the pro- sts. The national liberals, jeal- that the conscrvatives would gain by an alliance with them is the root of the rupture. The Geffecken affair has added to the discerd among the castle parties. The free conservative organs are assailing the conservavties as bemg in sympathy with Geffecken. An article in the Freie Conser- vative Post, declaring that the revelation in the Rundschau was the legitimate issue of the extreme right, while it was only the adopted child of the progressists, coupled the home of Baron Hamwmerstein, editor of the Kreuz Zeitung, with those of Herren Wind- thorst, Richter auwd Licbknecht. Baron Hammerstein was enraged at the association of his home with the others, and offered to fight a duel with the writer of the article. The Post declined to aecept the challenge. The Best African company issued to-night a report on the events accurring within the company’s concessious, The report states that though the Sultan #f Zanzibar guaran- teed the company peageful recognition of their rights to the territory, the sultan’s of- ficial incited the rising. | German Consul Vo- schen's boat was fired upon at Pangam by a large number of fosiner soldiers of tne sul- tan, The company deny the assertion in the Euglish papers that the rising was due to the arbitrary conduct of the German officials, The obvious aim of the report is to give the government an excuse for an armed coercion of the sul- tan. The government will not iterfere, how- ever, until full ofticial reports have been re. ceived from other sources thau the company. Prince Bismarck is averse to subsidizing the campaign, and will not support it beyond re- covering the stations on the const necessary for the development of legitimate German trade, Ko expedition aiming at the recovery of the lost territories of the company is con- tewplated. swperor Frederick's diary freely circulates in South Germany through the medium of the Nachrichten, which has repubiished the original text. FAIRCHILD AND THE SURPLUS He Explains the Administration's Method of Conduoting Affaire. AN ADDRESS TO BUSINESS MEN. Carlisle Follows in a Speech Embody- ing His 1deas on Tariff Re- form—The Campaign in Indiana. Fairchild and Carlisle. NEW Youk, Oct. 13, —Everything was fav. orable for the demonstration of the Cleve- land and Thurman down town business men this afternoon, aud the meeting before the sub-treasury in Wall street and the subse quent procession up town were fully up to the hopes of the members, The meeting was prosided over by Joseph J. O'Donohue When Secretary Fairchild arose he was wel- comed with a roar of applause. After asse ing that what was good for New York was £ood for all parts of the union, and that what was bad for New York was bad for ail, Sec- retary Fairchild said: By force of untoward circumstances the office which I havpen to fill is one of the most important factors in the country's business. It 18 not right that this should be the case, and I believe that another term of democratic ad- ministration, with congress pledged to sup port it in wise measures, would result in such reform us substantially to eliminate the treasury department from your affairs, thy ending the abnormal condition which ha within its possibility great injury to legiti- mate business and great wrongs wheuever the head of that department be unwise or unfaithful. Discussing the condition of the countr: finamces, Mr. Fairchild said: In some qua ters fear has been expressed lest trouble should be caused when the governme might suddenly withdraw its deposits, 1 imagine no state of affairs under whic would be necessary to do this suddenl. '1‘%- amount thus deposited is about §7,000, Look at the last statements of assets and liabilities, and see if the secretary of the treasury — ever need suddenly call for this mor or call for it in a way to cause embarrassment to general business. The postoftice department accounts, the disbursing officers’ balances, the treasurer's trunsfer checks, the drafts outstanding, interest due and unpad, ma- tured debt, acerued interest and tike linbili tics amount to about £54,000,000. This sum always remains constant; hence about that amount must always be kept on deposit to meet daily liabilities, and then after the money has been set apart for all these liabili ties, and for every other liability of what ever name or nature, against which the most forced consiruction of law could require cash to be provided, there remained a bal- nee of $04,444,84%, and in addition to that 820 of ‘subsidary silver, or in all, a of §121,200,666. ~ It wmust be remein d that these reports are like ordinary deposits, but that bonds are given to the gov. ernment as securities, which, when the bank ropays its deposits it' can at once sell to the governmeut at such terms as will give the bank from 25 to 30 per cent more lcanable money than the government deposit gave it. Can ‘any intellicent man acanainted with affairs after a consideration of all these facts, that a secretary is not Krossly incouipetent, who could not raanage to withdraw the whole or any part of the money now in deposit without casing the least general business trouble! Miud you, I do not defena a deposit of lare sums of gov- ernment money in banks: it objectionably wingles private with pubiio business. No one can wdisapprove of this more than I do. Bnt the only choice 13 a choice of evils. I maintain_that the administration has chosen a lesser ovil. 1 claim thaton the whole this perplexing business has been well and pru- dontly managed. Men of business, what say you!~ You know the results. The secretary then explained his course in buying bouds, and said: Up to tho 1stof this October all the 2 per ceut bonds outstanding at the begining of this administration—$104,- 100,500—have been retired, and in addition $31,265,240 01 4 and 437 per’ cent bonds, or in all there have been applied w the retirement and purchase of bonds, with premiums, $290,- 924,518, and the total interest bearing debt appearing in the September debt statement is under $1,000,000,000, This is the first time in & generation that it has not taken ten figures to express it. And this General Har- rison calls “nursing the surplus,” When hie had finished Mr. Carliste was in- troduced. He was also waruly greeted. He opened his speech by declaring that oue of the most beneficial results of the lust presi- dential election was the establishment of har- monious relations between the people of all parts of the country, especially the north and ard south. The north had never so good a market in the south us now, and_the south never had tho use of somuch northern capital as now. Four more years of Clevelund's policy would make it impossible for any political party to securc power by appealing 1o 'race "projudice. . Ho . considored. this alono a_sufficient reason for Cleveland's re-clection. Ho charged the republican leaders with o determinea offort to revive raco prejudice in the south, and with an_ ef- fort to alarm capital and discourage invest- wents in_order to make it appear that the country was not prosperous under the demo- cratic administration. In this they were partly successful, but the country was pros- perous, tovertheloss, and in_ spite of the fact that it is embar ed by the ropublican rey- enue system, v has resulted in heavy overtaxation. The democratic party would not consent to reduce the revenue by in- creasing the taxes on _necessaries, as pro- posed by the scnate tariff bill. This' bill, he said, claimed a reduction of about &30,000,000, Of this nearly 25,000,000 reduction is claimed on sugar, leaving only $5,000,000 on all the other articles. This might reduce the revo- nue, but would not reduce the cost of articles umed by the people. On the contrary, What is needed now 18 ubstantial reduction revenue, se of taxation but by a ro. not b, an inc; duction of taxation upon the necessaries of life and upon the materials used in our in- dustrios. The crowd of listencrs contained probably 15,000 persons, independent of the "business men's procession. The number of persons in line 1s estimated at 000. The substan- tial platform on the sub-treasury steps con- tained invited guests, and it was gorgeously decorated with flags and streamers. A large portrait of President Cleveland and another of Allen G. Thurman were suspended on two large pillars of the building, facing the peo ple. Hil at Lafayctte. LAFAYETTE, Ind., Oct. 13.—Governor Hill and party arrived here this morning and were met at the depot by several local elubs. The city was crowded with visitors from surrounding counties. About two thousand people participated in a street parade in the afternoon. A featurc of the parade wasa drum corps of twenty young ladies wearing bandana dresses and helmets. The mass mecting at the rink convened at 2 o'clock. The building was crowded almost to suffoc tion. Governor Hill received an ovation as he appeared en the platform. He spoke for an hour, first going into a review of the national administration for the past three and one- hulf years, and devoting the remainder of his time to the tariff question, his arguments being ubout the same as used in the speeches at Mitchell and Indianapoiis yesterday. Blaine Criticizes the Mills Bill. EvaNsviLLg, Ind., Oct. 13.—About 8,000 people assembled at Garvan park this after- noou to hear Hon. James G. Blaine. Mr. Blaine spoke upon the tariff question, se- verely criticizing the Mills bill und the ar- guments made by R. Q. Mills in a speech delivered here yesterday. In the course of his remarks Mr. Blaine said: “According to the report of the secretary of the treasury the duty levied and collected at all custom houses of the United States during the fiscal year amounted in the aggre- g to $202,000,000, Tt is this sum which the = free trade assail 80 bitterly, and it is in this sum that they find the outrages and abuses of the pro toctive systom. Of the aggregate dutics of $212,000,000, the Milts bill proposes to take off an aggregate of §10.500,000 which 18 10 per cent of the total dutiable importations for thoe five years. Onthe duties ou silks and liquors, amounting to 23,000,000, the Mills bill mado no reduction whatever, so that tho whole of the reduction 1l on the £150,000,000 that remained, Of the $150,000,000, £3%,000,000 were duties on sugar, and from the duties levied ou sugar, a reduction was made of £11,000,000, leaviug the peoplo of the United States still to pay $47,000,000 annually on su- gar. Deduct that §5,000,000 of sugar duties from $150,000,000,and you have left $1:31,000,000 as the the total amount of all duties levied on all other articles in the tariff, and deduct $11,000.000 which the Mills took off the sugar duties, and you have left $38,000,000 redue tion on the remaining $181,000,000 duties of the tariff. Gentlemen, you will please ob- scrve that the sum of $181,000,000 of duties affords all the protection we have on manufactures o; pt those lovied on silks, o cotton, on wool d woolens, on iron an steel and all articlesinto which iron and steel tor as a component part. What may bo termod the entire protective systom of the United States, over which this controversy between the two parties is now raging, is in cluded in that £131,000,000 of duties, and from that #131,000,000 of duties Mr. Mills Poses to tako £35,5000,000, and tells the p of Indiana that ho is only reducing the 4 per cent, whereas, as o matter of fac the whole importation on the long list of arti cles T have named, he makes a reduction ex ceoding 20 per cent What is it to those industrics that ave stripped naked whether the average is 5 per cent or 500 per cent. In_ cither or any event they are thrust out into the cold pro Gentiemen, there is ono great diffe between the republican and demo parties, Whatever the republican party proposes in congress it frankly defends be fore the people, but the democratic party, from President Cloveland down through all the official_grades, has for cightoen months waged a bitter warefare on the protective systom, denouncing it as plunder and or ganized robvery, and are now send- ing out speakers, kuown in fact to’ be the most rancorous froe traders, with Mills at the head, to 80 qualify and explain away and jumble and reverse and turn and trim the figures that they hope to deceive the people as to the true intent of the assault made upon tho protective system. Mr. Mills Dproposes to tako the tariff wool and give to our manufacturers wool from Auscralia us cheap as they got it in England. How shall we make woolen goods licre to compete with the cheap woolen goods of England, unless wo reduco the wages of the working class far below that now paid. The mevitable result must be oue of two things—that we shall loso the market for wools in this country, or must reduce the wages of a laboring man from 80 t0 43 per cent - ANOTHER IN JAIL. Dakota Officials Think they Have Ono of the Train Wreckers. Rario Crry, Duk., Oct. 13.—(Special Tele- gram to Tie Bee. | —W. A. Nickerson, alias Spud Murphy, alias Johnson, who is sus- pected of being the leader of the gang that wrecked and attempted to rob the pay car on the Ilack Hills & Fort Pierro railroad yesterday was arrested here to-day, and is now in jail. The authorities claim to have a good case against him. It is evident from the confidence with which the authoritics work that Wilson, the man_cantured yester- day, has squealed. The whereabouts of the third membor of the gang are known, and the sheriff has left town to secure him. Al three men are well known in Rapid City. Murphy was for a long time general managor of abagnio here and Wilson was then living with un inmate of the place. The third party was also connected with a similar institution here at one time, None of them have ever borne good reputations in the Black Hills. Wilson is wanted here on a charge of horse stealing, having jumped bail last summer. His wounds are such as make his recovery impossible. ‘The authorities ave confident they have the right men John Tilford was arrested hore this even- ing. He is supposed to be an accomplice in the attempted train robbery on the Home- stake railroad at Reno Gulch yesterday. A warrant was issued this morniug for the ar- rest of Jake Dougherty, also supposed to be an_accomplice. ~ The 'authorities are still searching for Clark the wounded robber who escaped. Wilson, the captured robber, who it was supposed was fatally shot, will re- cover. He has made some startling state- ments and several arrests will likely be made. —_— The Mormon Receivership.

People here appear il to-day to have forgotten that seven men from the Third artillery at the Washington barracks have been constantly detailed to wateh the vault in which Logan's remains are deposited and that two of these men can be found on duty there day and night. No one appears to know who is responsible for the ssign ment of these soldiers to guard the tomb and there is no limit to the time of their dotail No such honor or precaution was ovor cx tended to the remains of any other man in this country. DESPEEATE NOURIONS, It appears that the unreconstructed confed eracy in Virginia has been driven to desper ate straits to hold the Old Dominion m the democratic line. There can no longer be auy doubt as to the unreconstructed condition of a considerable proportion of the population as un incident just brought to ention of your correspondent will il lustrate. H. L. Amiss of Jefferson, Culpep perconnty, Virginia, has written a lotte here under date of the 11th inst., in which ho states that on the night before a most *out rageous attempt was made to capture an Amorican flag which he keeps floating before his house. ‘The flag is run up on a hulyard during the day and at night is drawn and taken into the house. It acts ns a sc irritant upon the disloyal population in th vicinity, and a number of times threats hay been made that if the flag was not take down the owner would suffer. On the night of the 10th inst. a party of men called ut the house of Amiss and induced him to go out upon the road some dis tance upon the representation that neighbor was found very ill. When had proceoded some distance from tho hou he was pounced upon and given to unde stand by the mob that unless he delivercd up the United States flag in his honse he wonld be massacreod. Ho said he would dio before he would do o, and while he was held by a part of the mob others of it went to the house and demanded of the old ludy that she pro duce the flag. Instead of handing out tho flag she pointed a shotgun well loaded and full cocked in the face of the men and cooly informed them that unless they left the premises she would kil some- body. The party fled and Mr. Amiss, who is well known in the city, was releasod. It is stated on woad authority that the men who attempted this capturc of the flag belong to the I, I, V's.—the first familics of Virgimi All of this incident occurred within thirty miles of Washington.
