Governor Tillman concluded h, inai inig public the following letter he,ba just receivod from a highly respected cil zen in the-neightborhood of the crime: "I oupposed you have heard befor this of the murder of the negro mar Gage Roberson, a few miles above her In the 'Sand Ilills.' I take the libert of witing you about the matter as fa as I know, as I have doutbts about you ever getting the truth about it for ecer al reasons. I will tell you In as pla way as I know how. I have known th negro since he was a boy, and he, wit his father and brothers, are considere among the beat behaved and moo 'shiity' negroes in this count. Gage bought a small tract of land fror A.

Persain Ruilans Killed for Maltreating a MissIonary. :1 LYNCunUno, Va., Feb. 17.-The Lynchburg News will print a private letter to-morrow, received here from Persia, relating a shocking instance of swift and extreme vengeance on the part of the Shah's government, at the instance of Minister McDonald, in be half of the American missionaries. One of their number, Rtev. E W. St. J Pierre of Oroomia, while riding home from the couunty late in the evening, when within a little more than a milo 3 of the town, was halted and seized by some ruflians, was dragged him into a adjoinog woods and treated him in a most unmerciful manner. With fire r arms and swords pointed at his breast, r lie was forced, under the threat of in stant death, to surrender all the money and other valuables which he had about him and more was denanded under a penalty of his life. Having no more to give, Mr. St. Pierre told them to kill 3 him it once, if they intended to, as he t was a Christian and not afrid to die. . Then they roughly treated him again a stripping him of his clothing in the bit ter cold, and left him half dead, saying t that if he moved from where he was in d so many minutes lie would be shot. e When (he tirre had expired the outraged man dragged himself to the road and f linally reached home in a deplorable condition, where he was kindly cared for. The facts of the case were im ' mediately reported to the American S Minister at Teherana, who promptly c fai it before the Prime Minister with 0 a most urgent demand that prompt and .r vigorous measures be taken for the ar a rest and punishment of the cirminals - who had so brutally maltreated his o countryman. The Prime Minister re t ported that no effort would Lie spared to bring the malefactors to punishment., and immediately telegraphed a peremp t ory order to that effect to the proper officials at Oroom ia. The answer came quickly that his orders had been obeyed; that the robbers, four inl number, who proved to be notorious outlaws, had been capiured after a stout resistance r and put to death. This summary and . sanguinary eiding or the affair was at I onco reported to th6 American legation 6 by the Prime Minister, which thankea him for his prompt action in the mat 3 ter,and then putin aclaima for dam L ages for Mr. St. Pierre.

W.ASIINGTON, Feb. 2t.-Less than four score Representatives were in their seats to-day when the sessien of the House was opened, but Deput-y Sergeant-at-Arms Ilil asserted that ai voting quorum would be on hand in the course of the day. Bland would not say *hat the bill would be disposed of, however. le I said a number of amendments would be offered to his seigniorage bill, and upon them, of course, debate will fol low under the flve minute rule and hie could not say when a vote would be reached. After prayer and the reading of the journal. lleed suggested that a report was in order from the Sergeant at-Arms respecting his actions under the order to arrest absentaes so that the House might know how the poll stood. Col onel Snow thereupon reported that all absentees were either in the city or en route hither, except the sick and ex cused ones, and seven who have been sent for by authorized deputies. Reed: " Has the gentleman from Ohio, (Johnson) who is reported in a Cleveland telegram this morning to be so defiant of the authority of the House, been sent for ?" The Speaker : "1 Tie Chair is iu formed that a deputy has been sent to t arrest him. " (Johnson is quoted as saying lie would not regard a summons to re turn.) Reed : "Are any of the itepresenta- t tives here under arrest ? " Snow : " There have been no further arrests " Reed : " I should like to ask, why ? you had no difficulty in arresting half a dozen Republicans. " Snow . "Mr. Speaker, I would like some information. Am I expected to arrest members upon the floor of the Ilouse ?" The Speaker "The Sergeant-at Arms is expected to exechte the war rants presented to him. " The Sergeant at-Arms retired to car ry out his instructions and the commit ttes were called for reports. When the list had been concluded, Bland asked unanimous consent that. members under arrest be excused with out being brought before the bar of the House. Reed "1 shall have to object. Our members were paraded here in front, and we want to see yours." The Sergeant-at-Arms, not being ready to report, Bland moved to go into committee of the whole on his bill to coin the seigniorage of the Treasury silver bullion, and on that motion, de manded the previous question. Without a division on ordering the previous question on his motion, Band called for the yeas and nays. and they ware ordered. The vote resulted : Yeas, 159 ; nays, 11-nine l ss than a quorum. The following Republicans voted with the bulk of the )emocrats in favor of the motion of land: Bowers of California, 3roderick of Kansas, Funston of Kansas, Hlartmon of Mon tana and Vilson of Washington-5. Also the following P'opulists : Baker of Kansas, Bell of Colorado, Rowen of Minnesota, lhavis of Kansas, KOrn of Nebraska, Pence of Colorado and Simpson of Kansas-8.

Mc Aler of Penn svlvania, O'N eill of Alassachusetts, ligott of Connecticut, Itusk of Mary land, Sickles of New York and Wolver ton or P'ennsylvania-all Democrats. At the announcement of thle result, Bland moved a call or the llusie, which was ordered. It showed 271. niembers in the hall. 'Thei proceedings under the call wecre dispensed with and another vote began. The second vote resulted: Y eas 157, nays 10. This was a loss of three from the lirst vote arnd twelve short of a It was stated at the desk (Informally) that at the time the first roll call was mad', there were nine proaliver Rep resentatives in the llouse or the corrn (dors, who failed to vote. The addition of that number to thle vote would have I prod ucedl a qluorum.. Bland made the luotion to order a l call of the flouse, whereupon Reed in terjectedi: "It seems to me that the llouse might hotter occupy this time in discussing thie bill, than in wasting it as the gentleman from Mlissouri per sists in doin1g." McMillin (Deom.) of 'rennessee: "And when wiil the gentlemun from Maine agree to vote?" Reed: ',When we get through." McMillin: "And when will that be ?"

BOSTON, Feb. 20.-About two thot md people gathered on the commi his afternoon to listen to addresses I iorrison L. Swift, Herbert N. Cass aid other "Socialists-anarchists" hoy claim themselves. After heari .ho speechies,the crowd marched to 11 rtate House, where Swift, and Cass( vere made delegateu to visit Govern .reenhalge. 'ihey demanded as th hemselves put it, that emlploymel bould be given to t he crowd w hich thi ed. The Governor intimated to Swi md Casson that he would do all in h >ower to help the unemployed at hat he had no doubt that the Legisl nure would (o something for the me le consented to come out and addre he crowd.

Still, he said, the Iegi ature had no power to give work to t .nemployed, except the works on whi the should be employed wese necessa for the general good. 1He insisted tl1 the lirst dt y of every citizen was o1 dience to the laws. If the laws wi not right it was the 1ault of t people of Massachusettn not that of I Governor or the Legislature. io :s they were simply there to express t will of the people. After this Swift and Casson, follow by a crowd of unemployed, went up lay their petition, which was couch In the term of demand, before t Senate and House of ltepresentativi On their return from the chaml Swift ascended to one of the little -,i galleries and delivered a speech th sounded strangely out of place in I hist oric old h all. " We will clean4 the State House," he cried, "if we do get what we want." The rabble, for such it was, accept the declaration with enthusiasm. Private Secretary Thomas was stat Ing near and at the entnciation me Ion(ld, repaired hastily to the Govern md reported the state of affairs.

"Did y( tate that you would clean out the Sta louse ?" asked the Governor. Swift cowered. "I did," he half mu ered, "but I stated that we would t wihI tIe ballot.'' 1hi s was absolut; y untrue. "You wvish to qualify it, in that. wary :itontiued i li xcellen 'y. "Y1 ' ,"' replied the i.tIIaor.

Boel, of Yorkville, returned home 11t last week from Greenville, where he lias been in attendance upon the United ed States Court now in session there. Mr. d- 13ell is enthusiastic in his praise of 1 Judge Brawley, who, he says most em n- phatically, is the "right man in the or right place." On being asked to ex plain himself more fully Mr. Bell said : "d Why, I mean just this, The. pro 1 ceedings of the Court heretofore have t been outrageous. Instead of a Court of justice the place has been what to might be called a regular perjury fac tory. Judge Sinonton did all he could to purify it, but somehow did not suc coed. I am sure that by the time t Judgo Brawloy presides at one or two more sessions he will clean it out com pletely. " Now here is the situation," contin Succd Mr. hell. " The dleputy marshals got their pay through a system ot fees, so much for each arrest, preliminary hearing, commitment, etc., and for each conviction. T1hey are allowed four gwitnesses in each case, and as It is al iways their iraterest to have that many the practice of filling out the number with professionals is growmug exten sively. "I have been to Greenville on several occalsiolw as an attorney. The faces there are familiar. TIhe same witnesses come back again and~ again, and every body kn ows that many of them are professionals. I defended a man last o~ week chamrged with selling liquor. There were four witnesses against himi, and at least two of them were uinabIle to dlescribe the premises on which the liqluor was said to hlave been sold1. Although I had no testimony except that of a reliable white man as jto the character of the defendant, the ,jury brought in a verdict of ' not gull S" Now here is what Judge Brawley is d (oinig to put a stop to these abuses. lie asked every witness, white or col ored, " 11ow many times have you been Shereoas a witness before ?' If the wit 0 n1e.s said( this was his first time, the Judge told them it was all right ; but i f they said once, twice, three or four a -times, his Ihonor said in a tone, the meanIng of whlich was unmistakable : ' Well, now, I'll give you fair warning. You had better be very careful how you comne back here.' S "tIam satisiled," continued Mr. .Boll, " that if Judge Brawley continues Aas he has startedl out, the professional winess ait Greenville will soon be a (thing of the past, and the United 0 Statcs Court at that place will be made ewhat it has not been ror many a day, a r Court of justice.
