Gordon and General Forrest probably knew as much about it as any other citizens, or more. It was not the purpose of the minority of the committee to connect ditiler - Geheral Gordon or General Forrest with the atrocities to which the Senator has referred, but, on the contrary, to distinctly - deny that they hadany thing to do with anything of that sort. Mr. SCOTT. Very well. I have no doubt it was not the purpose of the minority of the committee to connect either ForreA or Gor don with the outrages. _ . _ Mr. BALER. Therefore the Senator is very unfair in assuming that the minority of the committee that they were. Mr. SCOTT. I had not stated that the mi nority of the committee said they were con nected with the outrages. I have said that the minority of the committee admit that they know more about the organization of what is known as the Ku Klux than any other two men. I know that a different purpose is at• tributed to it by these men ; but I point the public to the fact that both Gordon and For rest refused to tell all they knew. Honest men with honest purposes associated with honest fellows, when a public investigation of this character charging these offenses was going on, would not shrink back and refuse to tell what they knew, or who were their associates. Mr. BLAIR. The Senator will oblige me very much if he will point to that portion of the testimony in which Gordon declined to tell all he knew about it. I think he will find no such thing. Mr. SCOTT. Ido not propose now to be diverted from the line of remark I have adop ted, and turn over and find the place in these eight thousand pages of testimony where that occurs, but as the Senator desires it, at a fu• ture time I shall give him the place, page, and substance of the testimony of both Forrest and Gordon to show that they did refuse to tell all they knew. BLAIR. The Senator is somewhat in• correct in his statement. Be says he does not propose to be diverted. Be does not propose to be brought to the proof which he pretends to present to the Senate. Mr. SCOTT. No, Mr. President , I said that in the testimony of N. 13. Forrest and John B. Gordon it did appear, and it does appear, that they both refused to answer questions of the committee. General Forrest was asked to tell the names of the persons who were as sociated with him, and he declined, and he was given time to think of it, and he never would. I was not present at the examination of Gordon, but I read his testimony. So far from refusing to come to the point, I promise the Senator that I will bring here the page and the book, and show him where both re fused to do so. Mr. BLAIR. Let us have it. Mr. SCOTT. The Senator shall have it at the proper time. As to the other denial that this organization has anything political in it, I wish to say here that I do not care whether it has anything po litical in it or not. I do not care whether these outrages have been animated by parti san bate or not. There is the fact: they have been committed upon the poor and defeusless, and they have been unable to secure redress. Until this legislation of Congress and the ex ercise of power by the President, the men who committed these offenses could not be brought to punishment by the courts. I care not whether the offenses were committed by Re publicans on Democrats or by Democrats on Republicans, or without any shadow of parti san feeling, every dictate of humanity, every impulse of enlightened civilization requires and demands that the Government shall ex tend its power for the purpose of bringing these offenders to justice and of protecting the defenseless. But, sir, I have given enough to show what its political character is. Ido not wish to go at large into the mere partisan aspect of this case. There is abundant material for it. Turn to its oaths "against Radicals ;" to its consti - tution "to relieve those suffering from Radical misrule ;" turn to the finding of that grand jury in Columbia, South Carolina; to the tea timony of hundreds of witnesses both in and out of the order, where the victims testified that they were whipped to compel them to re- nonnce their Radicalism ; where the members of the organization testify and confess that t the defeat of Radicalism was the purpose of the organization. Go on all through this tes timony, that of Schenck, of North Carolina, in which he admits that he went into the or ganization not believing that it would coun tenance violence, but that he went into it as a political organization ; that he afterward attempted to divert it from violence and could not do it. Take the identification of Forrest and of Gordon with it in the beginning, Hamp ton's appeal for it in the end. Take the fact that another prominent man in South Caroli nia, J. Banks Lyle, a member of the South Carolina Legislature, fled also at the time the proclamation was issued; and so wellsatisfied were his own Democratic associates from the county from which he was elected of his com plicity with this organization that they voted with the other members of the Legislature to declare his seat vacant. All these facts show that there is a political significance in the or ganization. . . I come now to the views of the minority on this subject. They say that the white and the black citizen cannot coexist in the same Gov ernment. The feeling is inculcated in the Ku Klux Klan of the South. It has been one of the fruitful sources of these outrages; and I regret to find that notwithstanding the con stitutional amendments have declared the ne gro to be free, to be a citizen, and to be en titled to all his civil and political rights, that we are even now, as the result of this investi gation, told that the time is near when those rights shall be taken from him. I wish no injustice to any one who has been associated with me in this investigation, and for the pur pospose of showing the coiclusion at which they have arrived I will quote from the views of the minority. I refer to page 516 of that report. 31r. BLAIR. Those views, I believe, were written and signed by one member of the com mittee. Mr. SCOTT. I will have no issue with the Senator. Ido not know by whom the whole of the views of the minority were written ; they are signed by all- Mr. BLAIR. I will explain to the Senator la one word- Mr. SCOTT. I know all about it. It does not need explanation. It is rather unpleasant while proceeding in the line of argument to be constantly interrupted. Mr. BLAIR. I beg the Senator's pardon. Mr. SCOTT. As I wish to do justice to one of my colleagues on the committee, I prefer doing it in my own way. That portion of the report from which I chat! quote was written by my colleague on the committee, Mr. Van Trump, of the House, to whom I am glad to do justice as a courteous and honorable gen tleman ; but while it is stated in the views of the minority that it is written by him, I find to the whole report the names of all the mem bers of the committee who agreed to that re port, the names of Frank P. Blair, T. F. Bay ard, S. S. Cox, James B. Beck, P. Van Trump, A. M. Waddell, J. C. Robinson, J. M. Hanks. Of course these gentlemen divided the labor and made different portions of the report. I do not wish to reflect upon the Senator at all as the author of these views, if he considers it any reflection. I take it for granted that Mr. Van Trump will avow the authorship. He has decided convictions, and so expresses them. It is not necessary to apologize for him in advance or to shift the responsibility for these views. I give them as they are prin ted, and they will speak for themselves. Now on that subject, bearing in mind that three constitutional amendments have vested in the colored citizens of the South the right of freedom, citizenship, and the ballot, I ask the attention of the Senate and of the country to the conclusion arrived at in the views of the minority "As we have just remarked, we do not propose to dis cuss at large the question of Negro government in these pages ; but we feel that it would be a dereliction of duty on our part if, after what we have witnessed in South Car olina, we did not admonish the American people that the present condition of things in the South cannot last. It was an of quoted political apothegm. long prior to the war, that no government could exist 'half slave and half free.' The paraphrase of that proposition is equally true, that no government can long exist 'half black and half white.' "There can be niether sympathy nor harmony in any polity where suck antagonism is attempted to be overcome by law. God's law is higher than man's law. Man's puny statutes cannot repeal or nullify the immutable ordinances of the Almighty. Those whom God has separated let no man join together. There can be no permanent partition of power, nor any peaceable joint exercise of power, among suck discordant bodies of men. One or the other must have all or none. It is the very acme of folly and fanaticiem to 'appose, in this day of enlightenment and its consequent pride of feeling among the superior race, that there can be a reproduction of the ancient fable of tying the living and the dead together without causing death to both. Who would have dreamed, fifteen year. ago, what highest and most far-seeing intellect among the great men who estab lished this Government upon the basis of homogeneity of race and color, could have imagined that in the first cen tury of its existence African freedmen, of the lowest type of ignorance and brutality, would rule a sovereign State of the Union, and be the arbiters of the rights and proper ty of a race who have ruled the deetinies of nations ever since government was known among men? Such a state of things may last so long es the party shall last which had the power and audacity to inaugurate it, and no long er. But whenever that party shall go down, as go down it will at some time not long in the future, that will be the end of the political power of the negro among white man on this continent', Time was, Mr. President, when the virtue and intelligence of the citizens were considered the best attributes of citizenship, the surest guarantees of stable government. This report makes the antagonism lie only between color and race, not between vice and virtue, intelli gence and ignorance. With our Constitution remaining, I would ask my friends whose names are appended to this sentiment, how they propose to end the political power of the negro when they are in place, and at the same time observe thc,postit . ution Wliat can this_ mean but revolution, or the repudiation of the amendments of the Constitution ? It is accompanied also with a comparison which must be peculiarly flattering to the de scendants of the men who formed and approved of the "tea party" in Boston harbor. They were poor men claiming to have a voice in making the laws which taxed them. We now find, in an argument against taxes imposed by a Legislature in which poor men are given a voice, the men of 1776 compared with the Ku Klux murderers of 1871. On pages 528 and 529 of the same report this occurs : "How long will the people of South Carolina be able to endure this intolerable burden t Would any other people on earth tolerate it ? Excessive and wrongful taxation, Imposed with the wanton purpose of oppression, always touches the most sensitive chord in the public heart. It was a trifling tax upon tea and a stamp duty, which stands dwarfed beside the one which now exists by our own enactment, that set the colonies, South Carolina among the foermost, ablaze with fires of liberty, and in augurate 1 the first Ku Klux known in our history ; for every school-boy knows that it was disguised men who threw the tea overboard out of au English ship in the harbor of Boston." Does this exalt the Rukluxism into patriot ism, or does it degrade the first actors in our Revolution to the level of the night fiends who scourged Elias Hill and banished an American citizen to Liberia There are many causes assigned for these outrages : the debates of the States, the re construction acts, bad legislation. I do not,at this time, propose to go into any discussion of them. lam discussing the evil itself, its ex istence, its magnitude, its power, its extent, and the necessity of providing against a re currence of the violence which has hitherto disgraced the nation. It may be that before this discussion closes I may take an opportu nity of saying something upon these points, if I deem it advisable, as well as upon the ques tion of the power of Congress to enact this law. But for the present I _forbear from en tering either of those fields. What I have al ready gone over shows 1. A conspiracy, oath-bound, against poll• tical adversaries, armed and equipped for offen sive operations. 2. It has, to accomplish its purposes, com mitted murder, wrong, and outrage upon its opponents. 3. Its members have not hestitated to add perjury to conceal and deny these crimes. 4. It has defied all the ordinary tribunals of justice. . . . . 5. It has paralyzed the voice of private citi• zens and overawed the officers of the law. 6. When brought to the bar of justice, pub lic sympathy and public aid were extended in the most public manner by the most promi nent citizens by voluntary contributions, to secure counsel for the defense. 7. It has kept up intercourse through all the States, showing a common purpose,a com mon mode of operations, extending from North Carolina into South Carolina ; from South Carolina into Georgia ; from Georgia into Alabama ; from Alabama into Mississippi, and into Florida—a perfect c lain of intercom munication among all these organizations. 8. I have shown what will give an idea of its power and numbers from the number al ready indicted, who have gone into court and confessed their crimes. _ _ _ Now, sir, what has this organization done 71 We hear much said, when we propose to pro vide a remedy against such an organized con spiracy, about trampling upon the rights of citizens ; we are referred back to 1215 and Magna Charts ; to 1628, and the petition of rights ; to 1679, and the habeas corpus ; to 1688, and the Bill of Rights ; to all those en actments which make up the bible of the English constitution, and coming from them wt are referred to our own Constitution. I would ask any American citizens to turn to that Constitution, to article four, five, six, and seven of the amendments to article one, sea tion nine, and to the first section of the four teenth amendment to the Constitution, and he will learn that every right vested in freemen by all these enactments has been violated in the persons of citizens of the United state: by the unpunished outrages of the Ku Klux, and that we are here to determine whether we will take the side of the victims or the criminals in our legislation. _ _ _ Withd;aw from the President of the United States the power to suspend the writ of habeas corpus in those States where this organization exists, and no man can answer for the scenes that will follow and the retaliation that may ensue. Keep it there, and the 'very existence of the power will render its exercise unneces sary. . . . . This is the question which we are to deter mine. Are we, taking up these provisions in their order, to say that men who have not been secure in their persons, in their houses, or in their papers ; that men who have been deprived of life and liberty without due pro cess of law ; that man whose hous.rs have been subject to unreasonable searches and sieges ; that criminals even have been hanged with out trial in the face of a writ of hoboes corpus issued to secure them a trial ; that men upon whom cruel unusual punishments have been inflicted by the mob instead of by judicial tri bunals ; and that men entitled to citizenship, freedom, and the ballot have all of them de nied by this conspiracy—shall we say that these men shall continue tobe subject to these outrages ? Or shall we vest in the President that power which we belive will be effective to protect and defend these rights and to bring to justice their guilty combinations against them ? Sir, others may bestitate upon this subject; I cannot. Government was instituted to pro tect its citizens, and we shall be derelict to our duty if we permit the more than four mil lions of citizens in the South against whom thisconspiracy has been formed to be subject for a day to these great calamities, and subject to them at a time, too, when the strongest mo tives will be operating for the infliction ofjust such outrages as those I have described. The remedy that we have now is shown to be the most effective. Until the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus was suspended in South Carolina this organization, notwithstanding we were beginning to expose it, kept a defiant head and trampled upon its victims. There was no idea of disbanding, and it was not un til the strong hand of power was laid upon them in that State that therewas the remotest hope of a disbanding of the organization. I believe that if this power is kept in the hands of the President this violence will not be re newed. 1 believe if it is not kept there, no other power will be strong enough to repress a recurrence of the same violence that has been enacted heretofore. For that reason the committee have reported this bill, and I trust Congress will see the necessity of enacting it into a law. Miscellaneous Items Horace Greeley addressed an audience of three hundred persons in the Universalist church at Poughkeepsie on Thursday night, the proceeds being for the benefit of the M. E. Zion church. He spoke entirely of the colored race—their present position and prospects— and at no time alluded to politics. After the lecture he was serenaded. The London morning journals in their arti cles on the subject express the hope that the American aerate will approve of the sugges tions embodied in Earl Granville's draft of the article, and thereby remove the differences now existing between England and America, but fear that the exigencies of the approach ing i'residential election may cause its disap proval. The Chinese news by the steamship Japan is very important. Tsing Kwofan, the vice roy of Nankin, the most powerful politician in China and the determined opponent of for eigners, is dead. The Emperor, though not yet 16 years of age, is about to be married. He signalized the anniversary of his ascension to the throne by liberating all but the first criminals of the Empire. Advices from Yokohama state that the for eign papers there claim that the late conspi racy was participated in by 40,000 men, the retainers of the deposed ilamios, the object being to seize the Emperor and carry him back to Biota, and then rise and exterminate the foreigners. The government discovered the plot, beheaded a number of the leaders and completely restored order. The report of the Senate French Arma Com mission declares the charges they were ap pointed to investigate, utterly unfounded. So ends that big muddle, got up for political ef fect, as all others of a like nature, stirred up by Schurz, Tearable & Co., against the admin istration, went by the board. An administra tion that can come out of such trials, unscath ed, must be pure indeed. The New York Tribune announces that Mr. Greeley will accept no invitations to speak on political questions during his candidature, and requests those who would otherwise in vite him to accept this as his final determina tion. Mr. Greeley spoke at Poughkeepsie to the colored people, hi persuance of a promise made before he was named as a candidate. No political topic was disgussed. A gentleman who has traveled through the Southern-central portions of Illinois, inclu ding the counties of Jackson, Franklin, Wil liamson, Union, Perry, Saline, Jefferson, Mar ion, and Clinton, says that the country all through these counties looks beautiful. The larger fruits, including apples, peaches, and pears, have been wholly uninjured by the frost, while the smaller, especially strawberries, are most luxurient, and are now fully ripe.

After the first of July the JOURNAL will not be mailed to subscribers residing out of the State, and only out of the coun sty at our option, UNLESS PREPAID. This course has been made necessary by a score or two of our subscribers, scattered over the West, to whom we have sent bills, failing to respond. We give them until the Ist of July to come to time and if they do not pay by that date, we will make out their bills at the rate of THREE DOLLARS per year, and forward them to the proper officers for collection. tf. vs.. Hon. B. Brace Petriken will please accept our thanks for a large batch of Leg islative Documents. .The wheat has improved wonderful ly since the late rains. We will have at least two-thirds of a crop in this county. ite„, The Democrats are going for Greeley and the Republicans are about "to go for him" too. Between the two he will be crushed as between the upper and nether mill-stone. goL. Dr. Hamlin, of this place, received forty-three votes, for Bishop, in the Gen eral Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church at Brooklyn. This was a very high compliment. Lam, A wag of a Democrat, in reply to our question, "Are the Democrats going to stand Greeley!" Said: .'Certainly, if Greeley can stand the Democrats, the Dem ocrats ought to stand Greeley." THE POLITICAL DILEMMA , The Democrats are in a terrible dilemma. They want to beat Grant, but do not want to vote for Greeley. If they don't vote for Greeley they can't beat Grant. If they do vote for Greeley they bury their party and join in a movement to elect a man who belongs. in his own language, to no party, where, after the election, will they belong ? The poor fellows are des perate. It looks like political death to stand where they are. It looks about the same if they join the "Liberal" movement.— They are in about the same position as the fellow on the burning ship : if he stood where he was he would burn to death ; if he jumped into the sea he would be drown ed. So between the two chances he had but little choice. If Greeley could only change his name, he might keep his friends out of this dilemma. They want to sup port him, because he is down on Grant, and so are they. Thus far they agree; but he has been in favor of equality, of universal suffrage, of almost every radical ism that has afflicted and belittled their party, and they have no pledge on his part that he has given up these playful eccen tricities, or is sorry for the abuse he has indulged in at their expense. Yet they must beat Grant, and so must Horace, to be elected; and if they could only forget the past, they would forgive the old phi losopher and swallow him in a moment.— But your dyed-in-the-wool Democrats can't forget. It don't agree with their nature. They are willing enough to forgive, with the mental reservation, that the old grudge should hold good if they ever got on their feet again ; but to forget, is to blot out, and their keen sense of past wrongs at the hands of Horace, has made this blotting business a hard task for them. It's a fearful dilemma, and if we could suggest any practical way to escape it, we would, out of pure benevolence, give our troubled friends the benefit of it. But we can't afford any relief. The Democracy is dead any way; the Greeley movement is sure to be, next November ; and it seems to us simply a question as to whether our friends want a double burial. If they want it, let them shut their eyes and jump . If they desire to live, and grow, and be contented and happy during the remainder of their days, let them drop the dry bones of Democracy, repudiate this sickly move ment, nursed by a few sore-heads, and join the only substantial party now before the people—the party of reform, of honesty, of loyalty, of intelligence ; the party that has been doubly tried, in peace and in war. In a word, let them get in the Re publican party. It is never too late to do good; and if our Democratic friends want to shout victory, during their natural lives, the only chance they can have is offered under the old flag, with U. S. Grant as the standard bearer. BEDFORD COUNTY DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION. _ The Democrats of Bedford county met in Convention, at Bedford, on Tuesday of last week, and nominated John B. Fluck, Esq., of Hopewell township, for Prothon otary ; Nelson Alsip, of BedfOrd, for Reg ister and Recorder; Isaac D. Earnest, of Bedford township, for Sheriff; Henry P. Diehl, of Colerain, for Poor Director ; Westley Bennett, of Southampton town ship, for Auditor; and John A. Cessna, of Bedford, for Coroner. The nomination of John B. Fluck, Esq., for Prothontary, is no doubt a very popu lar move. We know of no Democrat in Bedford county that we would sooner see elected to a prominent position than Mr. Flack. He is a man of sterling worth and respected by everybody, but the has always been an uncompromising Democrat, refusing to vote for his best friends if they happened to be on the opposite ticket. He cannot, therefore, with any show of con sistency, ask Republicans to vote for him, and without Republican votes he cannot be elected. The nomination of our jocular friend "Nelse" for Register and Recorder is also a good move. But he was nominated for the wrong office. He should have been nominated for Prothonotary. No man in the county understands that office better than he does. We are opposed to put ting any man into the Prothonotaryship, to bungle things, who has not served an apprenticeship in that office or been a suffi cient length of time at the bar to become acquainted with its workings. A Prothon otary, who is unacquainted with the tech nicalities of the profession, can make more blunders, in a single term, than can be corrected in au age, and frequently he has to pay the piper" for them. Isaac D. Earnest has at last got the nomination for Sheriff, poor man ! and now we will bet a mess of peas that the Democ racy will see him slaughtered, yea cut to mince-meat. Isaac's bull-dog tenacity, has served him well, but that is all the good it is likely to do him. Henry P. Diehl must be nominated at least twice a year or he will bolt. Henry P. gets as many trifling favors on as small a capital as any Democrat in the county. He has ambition enough to fill all the offices in the county and must be a source of great annoyance to everybody else in the party. The tick et is completed in the person of our friend John A. Cessna, for Coroner. John ought to have been nominated for Sheriff. He is a capital young man and deserves well at the hands of his party. The following resolutions were passed : Itesolced, That the Democracy of Bedford coun ty, in Convention assembled, hail with delight the honor conferred upon their distinguished fellow townsman, the Hon. William P. Schell, by the Williamsport Convention, and in consideration of his valuable public services, his faithful and con sistent record as a Democrat, we instruct our dele gate to vote for him and use all honorable means to secure his nomination at the Reading Conven tion as the Democratic candidate for Governor; and we respectfully and earnestly urge upon the Reading Convention the propriety of nominating him—pledging Bedford county for the largest Democratic majority since the days of Andrew Jackson. Resolved, That the nomination of William Hart ley, Esq., for Auditor General by the Reading Con vention, would receive our earnest and warmest sanction, and that we instruct our delegate to vote for, and to use all honorable means to secure the same, recognizing in him a man of sterling integ rity, of eminent qualifications for the office of Auditor General, and who if elected would make an honest and faithful public servant. Recommending for Schell, for Governor, and Hartley, for Auditor General, is a lit tle heavy. Bedford county is only the hundredth part of the State and yet she presents two candidates for State offices ! We have always regarded the Hartley movement as an effort to squeeze a few greasy dollars out of him, but the Demo- cratic party of the State do not know him as well as we do. They will never get a "red." Meyers was recommended for renomi nation for Congress, Kerr for Senator and Reynolds fir Lezislature. They will, no doubt. all be nominated, and they ought to be. THE TREATY The question of "indirect claims" is still before the United States Senate. It is a singularly strange affair altogether. That the Treaty itself' provides for the presen tation of the "indirect claims" is certainly clear ; yet England's statesmen deny the fact, and refuse to let the Arbitration de cide whether or not the Treaty does so provide. For what was the Arbitration instituted if not to adjust all matters in dispute—and why not include this last also? As neither Power is willing to recede from the stand taken, the only alternative is to drop the Arbitration and the Treaty together. Then let Congress pass a joint resolution authorizing the President of the United States to open negotiations with the English and Dominion Governments for the union of the Colonies with the American Republic, (subject to the will and popular vote of that people,) and a permanent commercial zollverein between England and the United States. This would be of greater permanent value to the material interests of the Colonies, the commerce and peace of England, and the general prosperity of this Continent than a score of the-most liberal treaties that can be made. kir The letter of Horace Greeley, ac cepting his nomination, has at last been published. It affords a very lamentable exhibition of the weakness of poor human nature. As an editor Mr. Greeley may, with a good deal of propriety, be consider ed a fair success; but he appears not to have learned that the qualities essential to success as a President are the very ones in which he is lamentably deficient. • We take up the principal portion of our space to-day with Mr. Scott's speech in favor of the extension of the Ku Klux act. We hope that it will be read care fully by every voter who receives our paper. Mr. Scott has given the subject much thought and labor and his summing up of the hellish outrages, of those fiends in human form, ought to satisfy every can did person that the act should be extended. Seer Amnesty is now the law of the land. It relieves about 150,000 persons of their political disabilities. There are still some three hundred under the ban ; but nearly all of these may have their dis abilities removed by making application to Congress, through their representatives. So that Amnesty is general, and all but universal. THE CONVENTION. _ On Wednesclay.anat the- sepresentathies of the great Republican party will convene at Philadelphia to nominate a candidate for President, and also one for Vice Pre sident, of the United States. The pro ceedings will be short and harmonious.— Grant will be nominated to fill the office of Chief Magistrate, and Colfax, Curtin, or Wilson of Massachusetts, will probably receive the nomination for Vice President. Delegates will come from nearly all the States with instructions from their con stituents, and with their own minds made up. A broad and liberal platform will be presented to the people, covering a contin uation of all that is good in the past and embracingisauch new issues as experience, wisdom and prudence have shown to be essential to our general prosperity. Da,. The Constitutionality of the Local Option Law, as we stated last week, was confirmed by a full Common Pleas bench, in Philadelphia. This is glorious. Now let the Supreme Court do likewise. OUR WASHINGTON LETTER Congress—Last Hpurs of the Session—Col. Scott's Victory—Amnesty Nom a Lase— The Civil Rights and Ku Klux Bills Passed in the Senate—The Tariff Through the House and in the Senate— " The Arational Guard." WASHINGTON, D. C., May 27, 1872. CONGRESS TO ADJOURN JUNE 3. Both Houses have concurred in a reso lution to adjourn June 3, and are holding night sessions in order to complete the work by that time. An extra session of the Senate will probably be called to consider and act upon the Indirect Claims question. COL. SCOTT'S VICTORY, The President of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company used every means in his power to prevent Col. Thos. A. Scott from obtaining a site for a depot in Wash ington for the Baltimore and Potomac Railroad, now about to connect Washing ton City with the outside world. It is well known that the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company have had a monopoly of all the travel to and from Washington by rail; but the new road comes into competition with the monopolists, and they have made every effort to prevent the Pres ident of the new road from obtaining an eligible site for theii depot. But Col. Scott has overcome all obstacles, and has carried his bill through Congress and se cured for it the signature of the President. He will immediately commence the erec tion of one of the finest railroad depots in the country. It will be on the south side of Pennsylvania Avenue, and within half a dozen squares of the capitol. THE AMNESTY BILL. The Senate passed the House Amnesty bill, and it has received the signature of the President. It provides "That all political disabilities imposed by the third section of the fourteenth article of amend ments of the Constitution of the United States are hereby removed from all persons whomsoever, ex cept Senators and Representatives of the Thirty sixth and Thirty-seventh Congresses, officers in the judicial, military and naval service of the United States, heads of departments and foreign ministers of the United States," 1111; CIVIL I{.l.olll's BILL. The Senate has passed Mr. Sumner's Civil Rights Bill, as amended by Mr. Car penter. The provisions relating to schools, juries and cemeteries are omitted. As it now stands it provides : That whoever being a corporation or natural person and owner, or in charge of any public inn, or of any place of public amusement or entertain -neat, for which a license from any legal authority is required, or of any line of stage coaches, rail road, or other means of public carriage of passen gers of freight, shall make any distinction as to admission or accomodation therein of any citizen of the United States because of race, color or pre vious condition of servitude, shall, on conviction thereof, be fined not less than five hundred nor more than five thousand dollars for each offence; and the person or corporation so offending shall be liable to the citizen thereby injured in damages to be recovered in an action of debt. EEC. 2. That the offences under this act and ac tions to recover damages may he prosecuted before any Territorial, District or Circuit Court of the United States having jurisdiction of crimes at the place where the offence was charged to have been committed, with a right of appeal or to have a writ of error in any case to the Supreme Court of the United States. It is doubtful if the House can reach this bill before the session closes. SENATOR SCOTT'S KU-KLUX BILL. During a session that lasted nearly twenty-four hours, from Tuesday at eleven until half-past ten on Wednesday of last week, Senator Scott had the gratification of seeing his Ku-Klux bill pass the Sen ate by a vote of 28 to 15. This bill ex tends the time in which the President is authorized to suspend the writ of habeas corpus to March 4, 1873. Efforts will be made to secure the passage of the bill in the House before the session c.oses. TIIE HOUSE TARIFF BILL. The tariff bill which passed the House is now under consideration in the Senate. The bill is essentially the same as that of the Senate, passed some time ago, but re turned by the House to the Senate with out being considered. THE "NATIONAL GUARD." An organization under the above title, recently originated in Washington, is ex tending rapidly into every State and Ter ritory in the Union. Its objects are "the maintenance intact, in the letter and spirit, of the constitution and laws of the United State, the constitution and laws of the States in harmony therewith, and the pres ervation of the political, personal and property rights of every citizen, however exalted or humble. And the members associate for the express purpose of labor ing to establish, absolutely and beyond future question, the supremacy of Ameri can citizenship, wherever located, unchal lenged freedom of opinion, the safe and peaceful exercise ol' every personal and political right, and the mutual protection by all moral and lawful means of their as sociates and all other citizens against in dividual or organized assaults upon these rights, or malicious persecution on account of race, condition, or opinion in every form." A NATIONAL COUNCIL has been organized at Washington com posed of three resident members for each State and Territory; to which each State or Territory may add three more as soon as they shall have reported a State or Territorial Council working under, and in harmony with the National Council. THE STATE COUNCILS shall be organized under charters from, and the charter members shall be appoin ted by, the _National Coune4 but the_ State Couvils may increas,Ltkiiii eumb,cr, by the appointment of not exceeding one additional member from each Congression al district, one from each organized coun ty, and one from each incorporated city. DISTRICT COUNCILS. The State Council may establish in each Congressional District, a District Council, and appoint the members thereof, which shall, under:nad in obedience to the con stitutions and regulations of the National and State Councils, organize each of the counties in their respective districts. ORGANIZED REGIMENTS under the rules and regulations of the Na tional Council, and the orders and regula tions of the State and District Councils in harmony therewith, there may be one reg iment formed for each organized county, and one or more for each incorporated city, the field and staff officers of which shall, in title and number, correspond to those of an infantry regiment in the United States service; their duties, and the num ber and duties of the line and warrant officers, to be defined by the regulations of the National Council, and directed by( the orders of the State and District Coun cils. AIMS AND OBJECTS. The objects of these organizations is physical, mental and moral discipline; the observance of law and order; and the sup pression of crime, violations of the laws and outrages of whatever nature. The regimental officers are required to see that each commissioned and warrant officer either takes or is supplied with one or more daily or weekly newspapers, which sup port the principles sought to be establish ed by the organization ; and the material contents of these papers must be read or verbally communicated to the members of the company each week. The members of this organization will hold no political conventions; nominate no candidates for public office; engage in no political persecutions ; but will be expec ted to acquire and communicate to each other all important political information, so that every member be, as far as possi ble, well informed on political subjects, and while each member shall be entirely free and independent in hispolitical action, all will be advised to act and vote with that political party which adheres to and supports the principles which underlie this organization ; especially will they be asked to support only such men for places of pow er, honor, or emolument, as by their rec ord, their character as citizens, their known sympathy with the objects of their organization, and their patriotism, affords ample guarantee, that they will fully up hold the principles advocated. Such is a brief outline of the declaration, regulations, and objects of this new and rapidly growing organization. Seven States are already working under charters from the National Council, and others have applied, and will be immediately chartered. Those who propose to organize in any part of Pennsylvania will receive all informa tion on application to Col. Fitzgerald, of the daily, City Item, Philadelphia. In a few weeks' after the Philadelphia Presi dential Convention nearly every State in the Union will be organized and in work ing order. The uniform will be a blue blouse and fatigue cap, each man carrying the Amer ican flag two feet long, on a seven-foot staff painted black. Belts and other in signia of officers at their own choice, sub ject to a general order from the State Council. In evening processions or march es, one-third of the members of each com pany or regiment to carry torches; the other two-thirds to retain their flags. The State Council may adopt a countersign which shall be common to the whole State; it may be a word, a phrase, a gesture, or all; and the District Council and Com manders of regiments may, in like manner, adopt or change a countersign for their respective districts or beats. Blouses and caps will be provided at less than half cost. THE INDIRECT CLAIMS. This vexed question is still before the Senate for solution.. The indications now are that the American Government will not yield to the demand of England, and that the Treaty of Washington will be abandoned. Letter from the West, DAVENPORT, lA., May 21, 1872, EDITOR JOURNAL :—You will perceive by the heading of this letter that lam again "on the wing." I left your ancient borough on the evening of the 13th instant, in company with some of my friends, for a tour West, arriving in Chicago the next evening about 8 o'clock. On the morning of the 14th, in passing over the counties in Ohio adjoining Pennsylvania, we noticed a white frost, and found the air chilly. The wheat crops in Ohio and Indiana look as unpromising as in our own State, be ing injured by the winter and the growth re tarded by dry weather and high winds. We spent a day in Chicago, visiting the several places of interest. We passed over considerable space of the burnt district, which wore the appearance of the city of Paris after the destruction by the Communists. Here and there can be seen, in the burnt district, fine five and six-story new palatial buildings, built of white limestone brought from the quarries at Joliet, and in a few years this portion of the city will rise, Phoenix-like, out of its own ashes, to appear more beautiful than ever. The citizens of Chicago are a live people, and this city is destined to be the third in the Union. The length of the city, as now laid out, north and south, is fifteen miles. We left this city for Rock Island, passing through several large towns and a splendid country, on the Chicago, Rock Island and Pa cific Railroad. The city of Rock Island and that of Moline are some three miles apart, but in a few years will be one continuous city.— Moline is noted for its manufacturing interest. Here are located cotton factories, paper and grist mills, and other extensive works for the manufacture of tubs and pails made di rect from the saw-logs drawn up out of the Mississippi. Two extensive plow man ufactories are located here, one of which is owned in part by Mr. Swan, formerly of Shade Gap, your county. It turned out last year over ten thousand plows, the mould boards and shares, all made of cast steel, polished as bright as a new dollar. Rock Island contains nine hundred acres, and is beautifully laid out with fine drives. The Island is owned by the U. S. Government, and it is erecting an armo ry, and ten large buildings, each 200'310 feet, built of white limestone. Two of the build ings are finished, and the others are going up. The estimated cost is five millions, but if they stop short of ten they will manage things dif ferent here from what our government officials did in the city of New York. When these works are finished this will no doubt be one of the most interesting places in the United States. Gen. Rodman drafted and laid out the plan, and has since died. A fine monument has been erected to his memory on the Island, We next visited the stirring city of Daven port, which has a population of 22,000. Here are several fine manufacturing establishments, amongst them a fine woolen mill for making cloths and cassimeres equal to any in the United States. The vicinity of Davenport is noted for the cultivation of onions. We saw ten acre fields entirely covered with onions. The seed is drilled in rows and cultivated by the use of implementa made for that purpose. The onions grow from the seed, ready for market, the same season. The fall and spring• wheat, through Blinoie and lowa, promises an average crop. Their season, thus far, has been wet ; up to the time we reached lowa they had eleven days of continuous rain, making them late with their corn planting. We had the pleasure of taking by the hand our old friend Capt. J. D. Campbell. The Captain is among the live men of this city, and we are told is making his mark. Court woo in session while we were there, and he was engaged in a suit nt that time. We icave for St. Paul from this place, and you may hear from me again. L. Letter from Illinois , NORTON, ILL., May 24, 1872. Editor Journal: I suppose you have no ob jections to hear from the Prairie State, and one of your old subscribers. Politics are now going up to fever heat here amongst us suckers, especially as our County Convention meets to-day, (15th inst.) Greeley stock here in this county is below par, and in the township I live in, (Norton,) I don't know one Republican who is so unfortunate as to be a sorehead. We are all for the nominees of the Philadelphia Convention, whoever they may be. Of course, Grant is our choice. We are intending to put up a good county ticket, and send reliable men to Springfield, to our State Convention, and expect to join hant: with you of the Keystone State, at the National Convention, in nominating Grant as our standard-bearer, and then on to a glorious victory in November next. This county was represented at the Dolly Varden humbug, by a second rate lawyer— Steve Moore—one of the most contemptible copperheads in the State. So much so, that during the progress of the rebellion, the citi zens of Norton tendered their services to the people of Kankakee, to march in a body and assist to bang this same Steve Moore, and sev eral others of the same kidney, and we meant then just what we said. Now he professes a great love for the old dotard Greeley. Shades of our departed sons, what consistency ! The New York newspapers might be in bet ter business than that of attempting to dis courage the new line of American steamships which are being built to run between Phila delphia and Liverpool. The most disgraceful fact in American commercial history is the scene to be witnessed almost every day of the week in New York harbor, where half a dozen steamships depart for Europe, not one of them American built or American owned. The Pennsylvania Railroad Company has un dertaken the new project. Adviccs from Yokohama, Japan, of April 23d says a frightful fire occured in Yeddo du ring, a severe gale, destroying habitations covering a space of two by three miles. The fire originated in one of the prince's late pal aces, which was occupied by troops. The flames leaped over whole blocks of buildings, and set fire to places a mile distant from the buildings in which the fire begun. An immense amount of property was destroyed. Where the wounded and lame were unable to escape the officers slashed right and left with their swords, and thus saved many persons from the more awful fate of burning. Thirty thous and persons are homeless. The government -has opened the rice storehouses and feed all who apply. The Secretary of the Interior has received a communication from General Howard, dated at Tueson, Arizona, April 27, who says he spent four days at Camp Grant, in order to inquire thoroughly into the Apache troubles, at the spot which has been considered its own centre. There are nearly one thousand Apa ches on the reservation, and their- conduct is good. Scarcely any depredations are commit ted in the vicinity, and have not been so for some time. Gov. Safford has assured him that the country between Tucson and Camp is safer than it has been for years. For the cony, nience of delegates and others designing to attend the Philadelphia Conven tion, all competing roads have agreed to issue round trip tickets at about half rates, good for the passage to that city from May 25th to June 6th and returning from June sth to the 15th. The parties to the arrangment include the Reading, Northern Pennsylvania, Phi.a delphia and Baltimore, Baltimore and Ohio, Erie, Philadelphia and Erie, Northern Central and Pennsylvania Central, including the leas ed road@ connecting with the latter. gliartingeo.
