FORTY-SECOND CONGRESS. This Afternoon’s Proceedines Weprespar, March 29. SENATE.—The resolution of Mr. Anthony to amend the rule prescribing the order of busi- ness, 80 as to admit of the consideration of any bill from the House of Ke; ntatives in refer- ence to the South, was mn up. Mr. Casserly, who was entitied to the floor, after alluding to the statement of Mr. Anthony made yesterday, that no legislation enacted by the Senate had been the result of caucus dicta- on, read from the Globe various state- merts made by Mr. Sumner, Mr. Stewart, and Mr. Sherman, to the eifect that the recon- struction bills were considered line by line and matured in a republican eaucus. In the face of the events of the la-t twelve years, Mr. ©. did not see Low any Senator could tay that @ caucus decision did not pind all those who partitipated in it. What did they go into b hipin all ciasenters? nrhony would vnly repeat that never in @ republican caucus was the conscience and judgment of a Senator bound. The Senator (Casserly) talked as ifa caucus was a new thing. Why we all know that the democratic membe § House held a caucus until midnight night be- fore last, on this very bill. Mr. Wilson said was 8 very strange thing to be talking about. He was here for six years when the cemocratic party had an overwiielm- ing majority, and every one knows that they caucursed upon all matters of legisiation. Phe inority complain that they are kept here late at nights, but there are not near so many night sessions now as in the great struggles of °57 and *Ss. Lo be sure the minority (republicans) had better success in those days, because they were all sober men. This was not the case with the majority, who towards morning would be stretched out upon the sofas, and would then be willing to adjourn. Mr. Casserly hoped the Senator did not make this statement as a matter of fact, but merely & an embellishment. He could not think for the honor of the Senate that at any time be J considerable number of Senators were incapact- tated for business by want of sobriety and were lying around the floors, The diecussion continued until the expiration of the morning hour, when the subject went over, Mr. Schurz then took the floor to conclude his remarks on THE SAN DOMINGO QUESTION. He said when interrupted yesterday endeavoring to preve that the action of the gov: ernment ot the United States in the case of the annexation of Texas furnished no precedent to justify the action of the government in San Do- mingo. The distinct points of difterence were that vessels were sent to the Texan and Mexican comet for the purpose of observation, but to commit no hostile act without further orders; and second, that until the act of annexation Was complete and ratitied, no aid should be given to the Texans. This was very different from the orders given in the case of San Do- mingo, where instructions were issued to our naval commanders to sink in certain contin- gencies the vessels of a power with which we are at peace; and this, too, months after the treaty of annexation had been rejected by the Senate. And, third, the government never dreamed of attempting to protect, while negotiations were in progress, the raler of Texas against any revolt of bis people. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.—The regular orber being demanded by Mr. McGrew (W. Va.) immediately after the reading of the journal, the House proceeded to the considera- tion of THE KUKUX BILL. Mr. Morgan (Obio) addressed the House in Opposition to the bill. He said that crime ex- isted in the South was not to be denied, but when and where did it not exist. That atrocious calumnies were common we had had abundant a the past two weeks in this House. le read the charge made in Mr. Butier’s letter laid on the desks of members the day after the committee was appointed, charging that there were republicans in colinsion with the demo. crats to allow their political friends to be slaughtered. This, he said,waa not spoken in the heat of debate, but it had been written, printed and laid on their desks. He pronounced it an attrocious calumny upon a majority of the re- publican members; yet the gentleman was al- lowed to retain his seat. Those, he said, who voted for this bill voted to authorize the Presi dent to interfere in the affairs not only at the South but in Ohio, in New York, and in every State in the Union. He called attention to the state of affairs in France at the present time, and eaid that if military rule obtained in thi: country, the state of affairs here would soon be the same as the: General Grant had said “Let us have peace,” and while uttering these words he was ——- his soldiers into the States of Pepneylvania and New York, and gunboats to the cities to intimidate the people of those States. No sooner was this House erganized thi in Over the House that they were to message from the President. It was said Mr. Butler was the confidential adviser ot the President, and that Bui was closeted with the President, and a message was sure to come. When the Committee on Investigation had been appointed, aud Mr. Butler had airman he rose in bis serve, and dictated the resignation of six out of fo of the republican members of the com- tee. The reason why he would not serve was because he knew that the calummnies heaped upon the Senate were manufactured, and delib- erate lies. Mr. Morgan then referred to cases Which gen- tlemen had charged as outrages perpetrated ? by the kuklux and other organizations in the South, and first he called attention to the ml assault upon a mail carrier in the State of Ken- tucky. He beheved that the assailants in that case should be punished, but he wanted the country to remember the time that was allowed to elapse before the government acted in the case. There was nothing to jus’ Qpy assault, but he could not be made to believe that the people of Kentucky connived at or counte. nanced it, although the appointment of a black man as mail agent there was an insult to thi P le of that State. There were colored r publicans in Ohio and New York and Pennsyi- vania and other Northern States, but the people there were not insulted by the appointment of colored men to Federal offices. ‘Mr. Morgan then directed his attention to the third section of the pending bill, which he con- tended conferred unusual powers, unknown to the constitution, upon the President, It and the 4th section makes the President of the United States a military despot with unlimited power. Itis ree that might be demanded by the Czar of Russia or the Great Mogul; but it is utterly obnoxious to the republican institu- ‘ions of the United States. There was no neces- sity whatever, Mr. Morgan.contended, for this legislation, for if the extreme measures had not been attempted berenornce peace and prosperity would exist all over the |. He asserted and — omegeongener open ene month after the close of the war in 1 pence reigned in all the borders of the United States, and there never had been any necessity for the meas. lopted by the majority harged at this Congress.
