The bill fixing the third Tuetday
of March for the election of township

houses of our state legislature. That
is sensible.
The Butler Herald keeps a dove
with olive branch in its mouth, flying
at it's mast head. Wonder whether
that ain't the very bird which Noah

The house apportionment, radical
child, reported from committee the
other day, is a more monstrous out
rage, than the outragous old one. It
would give the lads 19 senators cer
tain, and 12 to the democrats, with
two doubletful district*. Centre, Un
ion and Blair are tacked together for
one Senator. We think this monster
will get its head bruised.
R.-R. latter*.
We were showu a letter by Mr. R.
H. Duncan, a few days ago, received
by him from Harrisburg, stating that
Mr. Young the representative from
Union had succeeded in effecting a
compromise upon the railroad bill,
. having the amount fixed at two mil
lions instead of three a* originally
stipulated in the bill as the amonnt of
mortgage bonds to he issued by the
company, in which shape the hill
f*3eed last week. The delay in the
passage of this bill has retarded the
work upon the road somewhat. There
was a meeting of the board of directors
in Philadelphia on last Wednesday,
to take inte consideration the Dan
ville extension.
The engineer?, we understand have
now located the road from Ikllefouta
to near Lemout, in which case they
may soon be expected ia the eastern
fart of Putter township, to continue
the location through the valley to Le
mout
The Tyroue Herald, we see is also
opposed to Gen. Grant, having hoisted
his name to its mast head as its choice
for President iu 1862. Whenever
the Herald wishes help kill a candi
date it only needs favor him—its sup
port is death to any oue.
The Republican Senatorial apportion
ment bill includes Centre, Blair and Un
ion. Which is good— Tyrone Herald.
Yes, iu a good radical gerrymander
to disfranchise the democratic voters
of old Centre. By looking at the :
map you at once see that it would be a ,
sort of horse shoe district, —and nar
row as the ideas of the Herald.
A Washington letter writer says

Garrett Davis Enraged. ,
Uproar in the Senate Chamber—A l
Senator $ Fist in Ben Bailer's Face—
A Trickster Ihronounced a Bcoun~ |
(irel —Henri/ Wilson Preventing a
Disgraceful Fight.
Washington, March 30,—An extraordi- i
nary scene was witnessed in the Senate
Chamber to-day, which, while it lasted,
created a profound sensation, especially in
the galleries. Garrett Davis had been speak
ing for some time upon Sherman's resolu
tion instructing the Judiciary Committee
to report the Ku-Klux bill, and had work
ed himself up into a passion at what be
. characterized as the unjust charges of dis
orders made upon tbe South, when Gen.
Butler entered the Senate Chamber. At
this point Davis was facing his Democrat
ic colleagues, and was apparently exhort
ing them. Gen. Butler, seeing who was
speaking, marched over in that direction
and took u sent ncxtto the KentuckeySena
tor. Th en si retch ingh is 1 egs out he w heel -
cd his chair around, threw his head back,
and looked at Davis with an expression ol
mingled insolence and contempt. The
galleries thinking it a piece of bravado, en
joved it hugely. Davie, whose back was
*till tinned, had reached that point in hi*
speech whare lie. *'* claiming that tha
stories ofttouthern outrage* Wrra gto*ly
• xaggc rated. "They are ogt" lahl he ;
"they are the vile invention* f impitnci
plcd adventurer* and hearties* scoundrel*,
made to continue their ill-gotten hold on
political pewer. They are" and here turn
ing round in tha warmth of hi* feeling* he
beheld Butler slmort at hi* verv elbow,
looking Mraight at him with a face immova
ble a* *tone.
Davis instantly paused in hi* half-finish
i ed sentence, placed both hands on his
desk, and glared at Butler with the feroei
-1 ty of a tiger. Butler returned the Kcn
tuekiau's took unflinchingly, only growing
a trifla paler. This tableau continued for
1 several minutes, neither changing In. alti
tude a particle, while the galleries looked
■ on in pninfUt suspense, and the surround
• ing Senator* held their breath and affected
an uncoucern which no one felt.
Pinallr Garrett drew himself up, thrut
hi* clenched fist almost in Butler's face,
and said;
"Here, here is the man! This i the class
i ef men who concoct stories of diabolical
Southern outrage*, and then ask for unlimi
ted power to suppress them, hock at the
scoundrel! Here heist"
And hit excitement becoming Km great
for him, be sank back In hi* seat, while the
Pre* dent promptly suppressed some
threatening demonstration* which were
attempted in the galleries. It being one of
thoee thing* where interference was a very
delicate matter, no one had attempted any
thing of the kind thus far, and all tn the
hall breathed more freely when Garrett
dropped into his seal.
Still Butler never moved, nor altered the
expression of hi* free, although a thousand
eye* were turned upon bim.
Garrett was no sooner in his chair than
he wheeled it round, and began to draw it
up by shortjerk* in the direction ol Butler,
until the distance between tbcm was almost
imperceptible, when he burst out again
with :
"Oh. you scoundrel! You rascal!', with
a few strong adjective* prefacing each of
the above epithets. "Did you come here
to insult me?"
Butler replied, "Go away from me.
What do you suppose I care about you?
Go away."
Garrett was just about to raise his arm to
strike Butler, when Uenry Wilson left his
own seat, hurried over to the scene of
threatened conflict, and, placing himself
between the two men, stopped the disgrace
fti! proceedings at once. Garrett, on being
appealed to in a calm, considerate way,
cooled down, and retired" into one of the
Senate ante-rooms.
Butler however stalked aruund the Sen
ate for several minutes laughing and talk
ing to this one and that as though nothing
wbalhever had occurred.
When Davis was asked later in the day
why he had given way to his feelings in
such a conspicuous manner, he replied
that it was very evident to him that But
ler took-h is seat there for no other purpose
than to intuit him, and he would allow no i
man to do that. But ler, however, says j
that he no more thought of Davis when he |
sat down than he did of the man in the ]
moon, and never had the least of
insulting him. The general verdict to
night seems to be that if Butler must have
row*, he had belter keep on his own side
of the house.
(J runt's Ignorance.
We v6terday published —says the
New York sun, a radical paoer —the
message of President Grant asking leg
islation from Congress to "secure life,
|liberty, and prosperity in all parts of;
the United States;" and also alleging!
that "a condition of affairs now exists j
iu some of the States of the Union, j
rendering life and property insecure. I
and the carrying of the mails and col
lection of the revenue dangerous.";
This message affords a new proof of.
President Grant's utter ignorance of]
the Constitution of the United Elates,
and the limits to the authority of the
Federal Government which it fixes.
Congress has aothing to do with
passing laws for the protection of life
and property. That is the dutjr of
the State Gerernments. There is no
authority in the Constitutiou for the
passage of any law* to protect the
life or property of cititcns iu any
State. That power belongs exciuire
ly to the Legislatures of the several
States; and when the President calls
upon Congress for the enactment of
laws of this description, he calls fbr
legislation which transcends the pow
ers of that body.
As for the carrying of the mail*
and the collection of the revenue,
which the President says are now dan
gerous, he already has as much power
for the removal of that danger as he
should desire. The army of the Uni
ted States is under his control for pre
cisely this service ; and if its forces are
not sufficient to protect the mail car
riers and the revenue collectors, he
ha* a right to call upon the Governors
of th Kates for the militia for that
purpose. When ha invites Congress to
pass new laws upon this subject, ha
simply gives conclusive proof of his
own ignorance and incapacity.
The Ku Klux Kian.
A True History 'he Organization—
Its Origin, Objects, Signs, Grips, and
Passwords.
From tbe Louisville Courier-Journal. J
The body of men which first assumedthe
namo ofthe Ku-Klux-Klan was a very dif
ferent organization from the thieve* and
robbers who now p*owl about for purposes
of booty. The latter have borrowed the
liv.ry of tbe formehto serve the devil in,
and hence that originally genteel organi
zation is mado tha scape-goat of every out
rage in the country. The original organi
zation is gone out ofexistence entirely, and
a reliable gentleman, now in-thiscity. who
was a member of the K lan, is responsible
for the following statement of facts: The
Ku-Klux-Klan was peculialy of Southern
crigin, and was intended to counteract the
"Grand Army of the Republic" and the
Loyal League," and fur the better protec
tion of tbe families of Southern wsn from
the depredation* ef the robbers turned loose
on society after the war. Their object was
to protect, not to depredate; to build up,
not to destroy. A* evidence of their mo
tive* —peace and good order—the oath each
member took uuon himself was a pledge to
"support the constitution a* given by our
forefathera, and U> protect Die weak against
tbe strong."
This shows that it was only the disturb
ars ofthe public peace, tbe land-pirate* who
follow cloeupon the heel* of tucb disor
ganization of society as ensues after a long
war, who had any cause to fear the terrible
bugbear of Ku Kluxism.
It* name was suggested by the noise
which the old army mu*kut make* when
springing the lock and discharging the
piece. Ku—Klux—Klang—the first two
sylable* made by the lock, the last was the
bang, or Klang of the discharge, the final
"g" being afterward* disch rged for the
sake of euphony.
Their signs grips were few and simple.
A member was recognized by returning,
twice, a gentle pressure of the hand, or
when band-shaking was not practicable,
passing the fingers of the right hand gent
ly through the hair, in reponse to a like
motion from the inquirer.
The Klan was organized, a* before stated,
in a sentiment of peace aud good will to
all, and malice toward none. It was es
tablished by the very best men in the coun
try, the leader* of tbo Confederate armies,
and extended from U> th Rio
Grand. It was composed ol men wh" loy-
Ed peacp for its own SRke; it was a perfect

USURPATION!
Sumner on Grant.
SPEECH OF THE SENATOR.
The following are copious extracts
from Senator Sumuer's speech, deliv
ered in the Senate, iu oppo
sition to the President's San Domini
can policy, allusion to which is nißile
in the Congressional proceedings.
Mr. Suiuncr in hi* opening para
graph detiuitely asserts that it is now
en evidence before the Senate lliat
the navy of the United State* under
order from Washington has been en
gaged in measures of violence and bel
ligerent intervention —bein; war
without the authority of Congress.
The whole business, he add* is aggra
vated when it is considered that the
declared object of this violence in ac
j quiailion of foreign territory being
! half an Island in the I'arrihean sea,
and still further that this violence has
been employed to prop and maintain
a weak ruler, hint a usurper upholding
him in power that he might sell his
country, and secondly it has been em
ployed to menace the blank republic
Hnyti.'
Such a case, Mr. Sumner continues,
is too grave for eiLnce for the sake of
the navy, the administration of repub
licau institutions and for the sake of
| the Republican party, which cannot
afford to become responsible for such
conduct, the case must not pass with
out inquiry : but beyond all these eon
siderntions, it is a commanding rule of
justice.
The questiou is not whether
the aegusition of San Domingo
Is desirable, but whether we are justi
fied iu the means employed to accom
plish this acqusition, and evidence now
before us shows 100 clearly that means
have been employe 1 which cauuot be
justified.
He had aupposed that the proceed
ings regarding the treaty for annexa
tion were blameless uutil while it was
pending before the Senate, the Assist
ant Secretary of State brought him a
number of dispatches among which
was one from our Consular At'* ll '
there, who signed the treaty of anuea- 1
ation, frora which it distinctly appear
ed that Baez. while engaged in selling
his couutry, was maintained in power
by the navy of the I nitcd Slaiw.
Other evidence has accumulated to
show that we were engaged in forcing
upon a weak people the sacrifice of
their country, the State Department
and Naval Department each contained
a record of disgraceful, intolerant ami
deplorable proceedings, and still they
pressed consummation. The story of
Naboth's vineyard was revived unless
the report of the State and Navy De
partment are discredited. It is obvi
ous beyond a doubt thai our
Government has seized the wnr powers
carefully guarded by the constitution
and without authority of Congress has
employed them to trample on inde
pendence aud equal rights ot two na
tions co-equal with ours.
The Senator then characterise*
Baez and Giant as eopartners
in the melancholy affair and carefully
reviews the history of tne former and
his unscruploiis usurpation, lie re
cites the origin pf ihe sphefjie of an
nexing half the Island which is gener
al'y known.
lJaez was obliged to invoke foreign
assistance, "Help tne caucus or I sink"
cried the citizen. The European
powers would not listen, rone of them
wanted his half of the Island, not
Spain, not France, not England, none
ofthetn would tajte ij, but at last he
was relieved by
an answering voice from our republic.
A young officer incxjicrienccd iu

potcntiary before leaving Washington
was expressly warned nguinst nitu,
but he ut once rushed into the em
brace of the selfish speculator who
boasted his intimacy beyond all Amer
icans with the aamuna, and annexation
negotatiens to their class, and who
did not hesitate to instruct Unci. It
was nut only hi* right but his duty to

David Hatch, of Norwaik. Cull
uecticut, was guilty of writing letter*
lo a New York joumtl, exposing
the Char' eter of Bart.
The latter arrested him as soon us his
second usurpation sucevtded and im
prisoned hint, and he was detained in
prison by the authority of the uur|>cr
at the *|>ecial instance of Casneau and
with the contrivance of Babcuck in or
der to prevent his iuHuetice against
1 the treaty of annexation. This evi
! deuce is explicit.
Gauther, the Minister of Baer, who
had signed the treaty, ia an official
note to our Consular Agent, dated at
! San Domingo, February 18,1870, at d
communicated to the Stale Depart
[ment, says: "I desire you will ln
' good enough to assure his Excellency,
the Secretary of State, at Washington,
that the prolonged sojourn of Ha'oli
; liere has been only to prevent his hos
j tile action in New York."
Nor is this all. Uaxucau had the
j H]ual hardihoad to write to Bibcock,
then at Washington, itt.d.r date of Feb
ruary 19, 1870, a similar version of
the conspiracy, where, after denouno

The cry, "I sni an American citien''

voting Plenipotentiary heart! the cry
and answered not.

of the Duke of Wellington. "'I here

The M -nator na tested that there may i
be war without a bnttie, nnd so our

1 ; Mr. Sumner proceed* to uy that
n this conduct is a groa* violation of in
ternational law and of the Constitution
d of the United States, and every em
d ployment of these war powers in pur
it -unite* of this assumption was* usur

g abnormal, hcing ahaulutely without
•t! precedent. Imt, continues Elr. Sumner,
if even admitting soma remote infinite
*-inhlance, excuse or apnlogy, during
|t the (wnding treaty, all of which I ia
(l sist a* absurd hevoiid i|Uestioo t (hough
not entirely imfxiiaiible iu a quarter
unused to constitutional questions and
I heeding them little; conceding that

e The kingly Prerogative
Of declaring at hta own mere motion,
>f - ami wishing to deal moat gently even
with an undoubted usur|inlion of the
j King, prerogative, ao lotigaa the Sec re '
t taiy of State, the sworn counsellor of
the President, supplied the formula for
usurpation, and you will bear witnea*
that I have done uothing hut state the
>-ac. It is hard to hold littck when
the same usurpation ia o|ienly prolong
cd after the Senate bad rejected the
"treaty on which the exercises of the
'• kingly prerogative wa* founded, and
11 ; when the a**urupsit diviws by a See-
r |retary of State had passed into the
' Limbo of thinga loett.
On earth here there is no remote in
-1 fnrititnal of excuse or a|Milogy ; noth
'• ing. ahadlutely nothing. The ustirfta
tion pivots on nonity, always except
" 'P
1 The kingly trill of the I'rend en t,
| Which constitutionally is a nonity.
The great nrti-t of Ibdogna, in a tnucb
admired statue, sculptured Mercury at
standing on a puff"of air. The Presi
\deut has not even a pufTufxir bi stand
'•on.
Cottgreaa has the sole right in de
clare war, that is to sav a majority of
both houses and the President mustj
1 concur iu it.
' The IWeident has et thi* principle at'
' naught.
He covenanted in the treaty, which
was rejected,a? follow*: "The people
of the Dominican Republic shall in the
shortest possible time express in a man
ner coufurmab'e to their laws, their
will concerning cession herein provi
ded for th£ United States shall, until
such expression be had, protect the'
i- Dominican Republic ngaiust foreign 1
- interposition in order that the national
- expression may be free."
Now uothing can be clearer than
that thia provision introduce*! on tbe
- authority of the {'resident alone, wa*
beyond his powers, and therefore
,!"lirututn fulmen,"
* A mere teooden gun
Until nfttf the ratification of the trea
1 ' ty. Otherwise the President alone;
' might declare war without an act of
r Congress, doing what he cannot do, and
*: thus overturning that sfiecial safeguard, i
1 placing what Story justly mils this
' highest aovereign prerogative under
the guardianship of Congrea*. But
1 the treaty-making power itself belong*
* lo the President with two thirds of the.
c Senate. The President alone cannot I
' tuake treati*, anJ his treaty piMutie
,,jing lo uc- the war power without the!
consent of Congress, was unconstitu
* liounl and void, nnd now the same
usurpation is openly prolonged after!
' the Senate has rejecte<i the treaty on;
which the exercise of the kingly pre*
rogativc was found.
Enlarging upon the declaration that
the President had placed himself at the!
7 head of a more powerful andcoetlv ku
klux than those in the south, Mr. Aum
' ner proceeded i Had the President
< Itoen so inspired a* lo bestow on South [
'• ern Uuiouista, white and black, one-| t
1 half the time iu teal, will peraotial at ||
r ten tion and fiersonal intcrc. ssiou which [
- he has be? to we 1 upon bis attempt to i
obtain half an island in the Carribcan
' Sea, our Souther Ku Klux would have ;
I existed in name only, while tranquil! j'
•riy woulij bnve rejffoed uyerynhere
within our l>ouniiarica. fGeiipral ap-[
plause in the galleries and hisses.]
,' The Vice I'rcsodeut —The ("bait can-1 j
not consent that there shall be mani- '
. Testation* of approval or disapproval <
I in the galleries, and he reprehends one,
.as promptly as the other. If they are
, re|eated he mutt enforce order. I
Mr. Sumuer provided—now as I
d.-sire the suppression of the ku klua
w brrcver It shows itself, and theelcva-;
tion of the African race, I insist that,
! the Presiilential scheme which initals
the Ku Klux on the coast of San Do
, mihgo,nnd which insult* the African 1
, race in the Black Ifeiiuhlic shall be "
fairly represented. I speak new of
. that kuklux of which the President is (
the declared head, nnd I -peak for the
Africau race, whom the President has i
tramped down. Is there any Senator *
in earnest against the ku klux, let him
arrest it on the coast of San Domingo? (
Is the.e nny Senator ready at all times
to seek the elevation of the African |
race, here is occasion fo' his best ef
forts ?
Mr. Sumner concluded : In the evi- i
- deuce adduced 1 have oonfined myself |
carefully to public documents. On this *
unanswerable and cumulative testiino- t
ny, where such a part confirms the rest, *
nnd the whole hn* the harmony oftruth, }
, I present this transgression, nnd here .
it i* not I who speak, but the testimo J
ny. There stands the o se. Interna* t
,tional law I.a. he-.it violated in two of i
it* commanding rules; one securing I
the equality of nations, and the other
providing iiguuist belligerent intorven-t |
lion. While a distinctive fundamen ,
In I principle of the coiutitution by t
which the Preniilcnt is deprived of the
, kingly |ierogutive, is disregarded andj
thi* very kingly pcrognliyti is asserted !
