Sevator Sumner’s Healtu—War to be Made Upon tho Adminis+ration. z Senator Sumner has so far recovered from his re- cent iiness as to be able to entertain several of his friends at dinner tus evening. It is understood tha’ he nas prepared a very elaborate and a very biuter speech against the poltcy of the President in sending certain vessels of war to the West Indies, ‘This is the basis of the speect, and {t is to be de- Hivered when the Naval Appropriation bill comes up jor consideration im tie Senate.

The ject Committee of the Senate appointed to investigate outrages perpetrated vy the Ku Kinx Kian at the South have already examined a large number of witnesses, among whom are several United States and State Judges. Tue burden of the testimony goes to show that the operations of this secret political society extend through nearly all the Sonthern States, and that itis organized ona basis somewhat simuar to the Masonic Order. In South Carolina alone there is evidence before the committee to show that 300 murders for polltical causes have been committed Within six months, and that tue murderers have been allowed to go unpumished, All the witnesses agree that it is impossible to convict and punish the offenders. The wembers of the Ku Kiux seem to have an understanding among themselves by which they shield one another and manage Lo control juries and witnesses. It is probable that at the next ses- sion some measure will be passed to effect the de- atroc ion of this organization, The majority in both houses feel that until this is done reconstruc. tion at the South wil! be Incomplete, Report of the Comuitice on Indian Frauds— The Comuissiouer Exonerated—Reform iu the Barvau Called for. Mr. Sargent, from the Committee on Appropria- tions, made 4 report to-day on the charges preferred by Wiliam Welsh agaist the Commissioner of ladian Affairs in a letier to the Secretary of the In terior, containing aliegations of fraud and tmprovi dence in the conduct of Indian affairs, The com- miitee say they have aot ieund evideuce of rand or corruption on the part of the indian Commissioner, with mucii to criticise and condema, arising paruy from a vicious system mberited from the past and partly from errors of judgment in the construction of Statutes passed to cnsure economy and laithfulness in the administration. The committee have founda to evidence of any pecuniary or personal advan- tage sought “to be derived by the Commussioner for any one connected witn kis Bureau, It appears from the evidence that the Commis. sioner did not consult the Board of Commu- sioners in making purchase of provisions or of any goods for tue Indian service except dry gooas, blankets and articies.of that character. The view given by him is erroneous. The organization of the Board of Indian Commissioners was a part of a new system ior deaiing with the Indians, de- signed to aid in the introduction of an element of bumanity into the dealings of the government with the Indians, and to ensure economy and faithfulness im expend:tures for their civilization and comfort. Even with the limits to their usefulness occasioned by this construction of the Commission they have succeeded 11 accomplishing much geod, aud lave unselfishly and hovorably discharged tue duties re- quired of them. The benefits of their supervision may be seen from the testimory relating to the pur- chase of annuity goods, where better articles were » obtained at less prices than ever before. The tommittee condemn the action of the Commissioner tn making the Boston contract for veef, &c., and beiieve he exercised powers only confided to the President, to be exercised through the War Vepart- ment, but say an exigency existed requiring prompt action, They condemn te fallure to advertise, which necessitated an extension of that contract in August.

The plecé selected for the evening was “Die Kine Weint, | die Andere Lacht;” or, ‘Tears and Laughter,” a play which has Leen translated from the original French, and in which the lovely Gerinan actress 1s quite at home, The first act is a country house scene in the offices of a public nocary, and is merely an introduction to the audtence of Madame Scbalz, who represents Madame Rey as the mother of the ine’s (Seebach) husband, The second part intro” duced Madame secbach as Anna Rey, and her entrée was the signal for a perfect storm of ap- plause from the entuusiastic audience, who rose trom their seats and cheered her, while those nearest the stage lwrew a shower of vou wets to the smijin bendjictaire, Who gracefully acknowledged thé bid pliments thus paid to her.

A committee from the Workingmen’s Benevolent Association met a committce of the Anthracite Board of Trade at this place this morning. ‘The committee of the miners absolutely refused to accept anything lower than a three dollar basis.

As no signs of resumption have yet mani- fested themselves people are beginning to ask how long they are to remain at the mercy of coal opera. tors aud infamous combinations, A Hekaup re- porter called at the ofive of the Reading Rauroad Company this morning for the purpose of pro- curing the latest news In regard to the great strike. Mr. Gowen, the resident, and the gentieman who has been at the head of all the late mectings of the coal Operators, manifested a desire to give for pubucation in the HesaLp the leading » said he had did not wish to invoive himself in a ne’ between your representative aud Mr. Gowen:~ RevorteR—Mr. Gowen, 1 over your road, if you will give the information also as to the present aspects of the coal sirike and prospects for resumption, Mr. Gowrn—Certainly. Reading Ratiroad Company nave always ci over their road 135,000 tons of coal per » and on the canal about 35,000, Since the sirlke has been in operation the supply bas dwindied downto avout 12,000 tons per week on both railroad add canal. Well, our expenses have been nearly the same and our receipts much less than formerly, To save our road trom running beiad we were forced tu raise the tolls, ReEronTER—The impression seems to prevail that it was done to keep out the minor operators until the combination of !eaaing operators had the miners brought to terns. Mr. GowEN—IJ know that impression prevails. It iserroncous, Itof course had a tendency to keep the minor operators from bringing coal w market; yet it was not, done on that account. We would have raised the rat the same. Had these opera- tors, however, furnished enough coal for transporta- tion io pay us the rates would not ave beeu raised, Rerorrer—Is the Reading Ratlroad interested in mining operations? In tne, does this corporation work in conjunction with the operators, or are its managers owners of tnnes? Mr. Gowen (very emplaticaily)—It is not, are not interested in mining, except indirectly, We We | own coal lauds that are rented vo operaiors; that’s all.

Popalar Lndignation inst the vanin Coal Company, Newburg, In common with most of the other etties of the country where anthracite coal has come to be almost one of the necessaries of tife, is suffering from the searcity of the article. Although at this Place are located the extensive works of the Pennaylvania Coat Company, from which are shipped several hundred thousand tons of coat during each seasoa of navigation, and froin which also is usually derived the city’s supply of fuel, nota pound of coal has been procurable at those works for about two months, and citizens have been compelied to send to a disiance for Supply. A large quantity has been conveyed in sleigus from Marlborough, elght or nine miles dis- tant, The stock of the retail dealers in the arty Was quickly exhausted daring one of the extreme cold “spells” of the winter, and the poorer citizens, who had been unable to provide against the day of need, were compelied to use ior fuel whatever they could get. To relieve the needy and prevent soue ol thelt operatives (ro m actually freeciog to death, the proprietors of some of tho large imanufacraring establishments doled out a supply by the Lasker or bushel o tne precioua fuel. ‘The gas works bave been actually besieged by poor people coming with baskets to web coke. ‘There is the vitterest compiaint acamat we Pennsylvania Company for negiecang (6 provide an adequate suppiy of coal for the city, and threats are made bythe more violent oi demolisitng U company’s VO%xs.

TALE NEW YORM HERALD AS A RE iGtOus PAPER, {From the New York St. Peter—Cathollc paper ot the first class—I'eb, 25.4 The New York HERALD is now putting in the claim that if is the leading religious paper in the United States. We adinit the claim, but tet us ex- plain the acknowledgment. here is nothing dear to Methodism which the Hrrato does not antuse; there is nothing in hard Calvinism which it does not widely spread; (here ia nothing in Becchertsm, the new creed, which it does not loudly applaud; there is nottiog in Universalism to which it does not give ample piace; there 1s nothing in Unitariane ism for which it has not abundant welcome; the Episcopaiianism of the city would almost die with- out its stout hand; Judaism ts constantly enjoying its Numerous columns; and, at icast of late, Pius IX., Vicar of Christ, is devotedjy por- vading all its activity. The only’ religion which the HeRaLD does not support is the “Aina ities.” With this filthy production of most bestlal hearis and be‘ouled intelligence the Heap has nothing whatever to do. Witu this explanation riding on its back we a:ltmit the clain of the HERALD to be the leading religious paper in the United States, But ts it safeto pe so theologicatiy versa- tiley Our Saviour had but one creed. If He had had just one more than one fle would never have been crucified. Nay, with one creed more than the one He had He could not have redeemed. Had He had more than oue creed there had been no truth in him, but He had been an tmposter. ‘This being the case there is no escape from the inference that the HERALD is carrying on its decks an over-iveight of doctrines. We admit, however—not in argument, but in couriesy and fun—tiat if any secular news- papers pass the gares of Heaven it wUl be liupozsible to keep the HERALD oat. TENNESSEL COLORED CONVENTION.
