Washington, December 2.—Follett, as a question of privilege, presented the following preamble and resolution : “I do impeach J^,ot Wright, United States marshal of the southern district of Ohio, of high crimes and misdemeanors. I charge him with usurpation of power, and violation of law, in that he appointed a large number of general and special deputy marshals to stand at several voting precincts in Cincinnati at the election for members of congress on October 14th, 1884, and armed said deputy marshals with pistols and othei^ deadly weapons, said weapons being furnished by the war department of the Uuited States government; and that a number of deputy marshals so appointed and armed were notorious criminals, men known as ot vicious and brutal habits and reputation, and many of them nonresidents of Cincinnati and the state of Ohio; also that said deputy , marshals, acting under his orders and directions, aided, abetted and encouraged fraudulent voting, intimidation of voters, and gross outrages upon the elective franchise and the rights of the honest voters of the city in furtherance of the interest of his political party and its candidates.” Follett said the single question presented the committee for investigation was whether a certain officer had or had not performed one of the highest possible duties of the government, the protection of the ballot in pursuance of law or in known violation of' it. That only did he desire the house to be informed on. lveifer chought before the house prepared to impeach the United States marshal in Cincinnati, it was important it should know the whole situation surrounding that officer when he undertook to provide that there should be a peaceable election where all persons of all parties could go and cast their ballots. At the very time when the deputy marshals were appointed in Cincinnati ihere were going about the streets of that city officers, or men pretending to be officers, of that municipal corporation seizing men simply because they were colored men, locking them up by hundreds, and keeping them until the polls closed. He might not be entirely correct, but the newspapers state that in one station house 300 colored men were held through election day, in order that they could not go to the polls and vote. Fie would like to amend the resolution so as to widen the scope of the investigation. Miller (Pa.) regretted the investigation stopped at the Ohio river. It should be extended to the southern states, where no regard was paid to how the ballot was cast or counted. G. D. Wise (Va.) said he had a resolution prepared looking to the investigation of an election in a southern state. Miller sai d while he believed that in southern states they had tried to kill and destroy, the shot gun had been laid aside teaiporarily, but they kept up the practice of counting their men in without regard to the ballots cast. Follett declared the charge that negroes were prevented from voting entirely without foundation. Negroes from Kentucky and Virginia were brought in in freight cars like cattle for the purpose of voting in Cincinnati, and these were the ones interfered with. The resolution was then adopted without division. IN GENERAL. Springfield, III., Dec. 2.—Gov. Hamilton rendered his decision in the Leman Brand case. After an elaborate review of the evidence and citation of authorities, he awards the certificate to Leman,the republican candidate for state senate in the sixth district. The governor’s conclusion is that bold forgery was committed to cheat the people of the district out of their just rights, and the object of the erasures was to change the majority in the state legislatures and thereby control the election of the United States senator. Missionary Work to Do at. Home. The following is clipped Iromour esteemed contemporary, the Gatesville Advance: To the Waco Day: Gatesville and Coryell county have had an occasional outbreak of lawlessness, but Gatesville never was infested with a gang of ruffians who, in the very face of its people would open fire at mirrors and pictures indiscriminately. Our peopie don’t go around in clubs and engage in the pleasant pastime of terrorizing hotels and shooting out lights. You have a little home mission woik now, brother Day. And we have preached the gospel of law and order, too, in as plain terms as the English language will admit. The files of The Day will show its unqualified condemnation of the occurrence referred to by the Advance.' BRIEF MENTION. Mr. B. A.'Aldrich, the hero of the “perjury” suit, has a card in this afternoon’s paper. The society belles and beaux are getting ready for the opening of Cheesman’s Hall Friday night. If you are able to spend ten cents for a cigar do not fail top.sk for Bybee Bros, famous brand. Quite a number of ladies were present at the meeting of the Rebekah degree lodge, I. O. O. F., last night. A fine cigar that always comes up to the mark, is “The Chief,” sold by Charles Kophal, Austin avenue. ^The social reunion of graduates and alumni association, Waco university, will take place Friday night. The Silver Moon restaurant serves delicacies to its patrons that can be had nowhere else in Waco. The work of hoisting and placing the town clock and fixtures in the courthouse tower goes on rather slowly as yet. EVENING ECHOES. The Lumber War—Paying ^Assessments—Winter Wear for Everybody. The 22d mortuary assessment of The Texas Benevolent Association fell due today. The T. B. A. is known to be such a good thing that sensible men pay these assessments with alert cheerfulness. Lewine Bros, have on deck a “mark down” sale, that appeals with force to men and,boys who need winter clothing. Their announcement on the fourth page of this afternoon’s paper should be read. Tne lumber war in Waco continues and dealers say they don’t know when it will end. In East Waco the prices iare a little lower than west of the river. The quotations today are $12 to $14 per one thousand feet. Sanger Bros, are determined that the ladies shall not plead high prices as a cause for not purchasing winter wraps. Some of the prices they announce in their big advertisement this evening are startlingly low. THE COURTS. Summary of Proceedings in the Various Local Tribunals, In Justice Davis’ court the case of Davis vs. Shultz, distress warrant for rent, came up at eleven o’clock, and is on trial.

S. district court this morning several cases, brought by Crow, Haggardine & Co., of St. Louis, on attachment, against Cox & Bell, of Hillsboro, were dismissed, at plaintiffs’ cost. Judge Pardee is expected tomorrow. Growing Older, but as Funny as Ever. In regard to the coming minstrel entertainment, we excerpt the following from the St. Louis Critic, of October 25th: “At the People’s, Happy Cal Wagner—the man who gave Jack Ilaverly his first start in the show business—and his minstrels have done a good business. Cal is gowing older, but he is as funny at the end as ever.” JVe have ahvaysfound Riveire's Diarrhea find Cholera Mixture a sure cure, for diarrhea, dysentery, flux and Cholera. Price 25 cents a bottle at Rivcirc's drug store. The Negro Not Immortal. A new Work just out on Satan, his origin, doom and history, as the ancestor of the black race.

Smoke Aerial Queen and Snoozer, the best S cent cigars in town at Williamson & Co’s.—626tc. THE TAXMONEY SCANDAL. Hater Phases ot the Sensations—Mr. Richey's Return Hoped For. The publication, in The Day of yesterday, concerning the transaction in vvhich Messrs. James R. Richey and Otis W. David were central figures,was the general theme of conversation today. A few persons knew of the ^matter, but most people did not until they read about it in The Day. To say that there was unbounded surprise is drawing it mild. Mr. Otis David talked freely with a Day reporter this morning. He said : “I don’t think it necessary to publish any statement just now, but I am absolutely innocent of any complicity in that transaction. I knew nothing whatever about it and can prove that I didn’t.” A representative of The Day also saw Mr. J. W. Mann, president of the Waco national bai\k, one o Mr. David’s bondsmen. In company with him was Mr. M. Surratt, another bondsman. Both gentlemen joined in the^ following statement: “We have made the most thorough investigation of this matter, and we believe we have in our possession bottom facts and all the facts. At the proper time we will use them. We believe Mr. David to be utterly innocent of anything even approaching wrong doing. With all the lights before us, up to this time, we are as ready, today, to go on his bond as we were before we hea~d of this thing. We believe Mr. David will come out thoroughly vindicated.” Mr. Richey’s return to the city is earnestly desired and hoped for by his friends. They have telegraphed to him at Woodville and it is said they ex pect him home tonight or in the morning. They say they feel confident he will vindicate himself. It is simple justice to Mr. David to say that nine out of every ten men The Day has talked with on the subject profess their confidence in his integrity and innocence. It is unfortunate for Mr. Richey that he is not here to speak for himself. Since writing the foregoing lines Mr. TravE F. Jones has received a telegram from Mr. Richey. It was dated this morning, at some little station in Smith county, of which Mr. Jones says’he says he does , not remember the name. It read about as follows: “Any news? Wire me at Ogden and send Waco papers and mail to Woodville,” Mr. Jones at once answered: “Come home at once, without fail. Youi family is well.” Since this nothing has been heard from Mr. Richey. Ogden is a railroad station it. Smith county. If Mr Richey returns via the Texas and St. Louis he can get here in the morning. Otherwise he cannot reach here earlier than 5 p. m. tomorrow. Later—At 2:30 p. m., Mr. David called on the Day and stated that he had concluded to publish the following card, which is herewith appended: MR. DAVID’S CARD. To the Public: I wish to say to the public in answer to the publication in The Day and Examiner with reference to the Missouri Pacific railway company, that the voucher purporting to be signed by me, was never executed by me or by my authority, and I was entirely innocent of the existence of such a voucher until last Monday evening, at which time I was notified of its existence by one of my friends. The statement made in this morning’s “ Examiner ” to the effect that I was unwilling to make a statement until the return of Mr. Richey does me an injustice and is incorrect. I am in no manner implicated in the execution of the voucher and desire that all the facts be known and urge investigation. Respectfully, Otis W. David. Waco, Tex., Dec. 3d. Tribute ot Respect. Whereas, Our Heavenly Father in His infinite wisdom has called from us our dearly beloved friend and classmate, Sallie E. Leon ard who was noted fbr her kind and gentle disposition and earnest devotion to the Sunday School. Resolved, That this school has snstained a great loss. 2d. That we extend our tenderest sympathy to the bereaved family and we pray that the Holy Spirit may comfort them in their affliction. By order of the East,Waco Baptist Sunday School. Bessie C. White. 1 Bettie L. Johnson. V Committee. T. M. L. Duncan. J East Waco, Dec. 3, 1884 * Cotton in W aco ToDay. Receipts up to 2 p. m., 290 bales. Receipts since Sept. 1st, 29,918 bales. Range of prices today, from 9 to 9:80. The receipts today comprise wagon lots from Hill, Navarro, and Limestone counties. Next week we expect wagons here from Ellis and Dallas. They have sent word they are coming. Fights and Runaways ToDay. The Pacific Express team ran from the de pot to the office this morning and smashed a foot bridge on South Fourth street. Nobody hurt, however, and nobody to blame. Officer Ellison was telephoned to come to East Waco this morming, to quell a quarrel between some railroad men, who had threatened to shoot each other. He quelled it and no arrests were necessary. Messrs. Lane Orand and Fred. Richardson indulged in a street difficulty this morning, and those who saw the fight say it was lively. Mr. Richardson got a painful kick. They were separated and will explain in dve time to the recorder. LOCAL CRIMINALITIES Current Wickedness in This Portion of the Mcr.l Vineyard. No further tidings have been received of Madden, the man who is alleged {to have stclenftwo horses in East Waco Sunday. Mike Dooly, Second and Clay streets, reports that his clothes line was raided and several articles of clothing stolen Monday night. A man named John Vladewell, from P'alls county, came to Waco Monday and sold two bales of cotton belongiug to Mr. Dave Me Clurg, of Marlin. Made well did not return the teamffind money, and Mr. McClurg came to the city yesterday looking for him, but up to a late hour he had not heard of his man, team nor money. It is thought Madewell has skipped out with the team and money. Frank Moore, claiming to be from Kansas City, is the name of the young man arrested yesterday |by officers Hall and Hart, charged with robbing. Mr. W. H. Maples, of Valley Mills, was one of the victims, and Mr, H. F. Gillean, of the Bradstreet agency, this city, the other. Mr. Gillean lost $25 and Mr. Maples about $15 and some receipts. This occurred on the Missouri Pacific southbound train, just as it was about to pull out from the depot. Death of Fanny Ellsler. N. O. Times Democrat. Fanny Ellsler, the famous danseuse, who forty years ago electrified the people of this country and of the European states with her unequaled exemplification of the poetry of motion, has recently deceased at her resiience, near Vienna. She had reached extreme old age, and had accumulated a large fortune, which she had invested in a splendid country seat, where she dispensed a generous hospitality and a large charity. It was in 1841 wken Fanny Ellsler made her first appearance as priemiere danseuse in tins city. She was then in the full bloom of her beauty, grace, and her incomparable art. Her debut was at the old San Carlos, Mr. Caldwell’s magnificent dramatic and art tempie. With the single exception of Jenny Lind’s ovation in this city, ten years afterward, no other event in the history of the drama in this cij:y ever produced so general and lively a sensation as Fanny Ellsler’s debut. Five thousand tickets were sold, and this grand old temple cculd seat that nurabir of spectators. So great was the pressure of the vast crowd around the doors that a large number of those holding parquette tickets were forced into the pit, trampling down the tailing and the doorkeepers. The whole community was captivated bj^ Fanny’s exquisite art and rare beauty. In her execution of the dances, vvhich she first introduced, and to which she gave a popularity which is maintained to this day, the varsovienne, the cadenca, the mazurka, she never was equaled. Tne furore she had excited in this city followed her in her tour through this country. She returned to Europe with $200,000 of profit. She was then a woman of forty, of striking and handsome features, but by no means of feminine beauty and delicacy. Her triumphs were due rather to her art and natural grace and marvelous physical vigor and agility. Walker Blaine’s Cheek. Washington Special.' Walker Blaine, is really a candidate for the vacant judgeship of the court of Alabama claims, although it is a plact requiring a large knoweledge of the marine law, and he never had any practice save his position as assistant attorney before this court, where his career has been far from brilliant. The judgeship is worth $6,000 a year. The president has intimated that he will make the appointment if Mr. Blaine personally requests. The historian has been known to declare within three months that he would not enter the portals of the White House again during the Arthur aministration. Paternal affection may yet prevail over wounded pride. Have You Seen the Household Sewing Machine? If not, it is here, the peer of all. It is guaranteed just as represented, or money refunded. Think of this. Needles, oil and attachments for sale. Old machines thoroughly repaired. Look for big sign, between Fifth and Sixth streets, Austin avenue. 12itc. S. J.
