WASHINGTON. in. the Senate. Senator Sumner’s Review of the St. Domingo Question.. President Grant Arraigned for Violations of International Law. Political Effects of the Grant- Sumner Quarrel. Radicals Attempting to Read Sumner Out of the Republican Panty, The President’s St. Domingo Ku Klux Campaign. WASHINGTON, March 27, 1871. The Great Event of the Session—Immense Crowd» at the Capitol—Everybody Anxious to Hear Mr. Sumner’s Speech on St. Do- mingo—Politival Effect of the Speech—At- tempt to Read the Massachusetts Senator Out of the Republican Party. Su. Domingo again. Whatever may be satd of it im other parts of the country, it 1s anquestionably the leading issue at the Capitol. No recital of Ku Klux outrages, real or imaginary, excites the inter- est or commands the attention of a debate upon St. Domingo. It is not, perhaps, so much St. Domingo itself, or the proposed annexation of it to the United States as the manner in which the Prest- dent has gone about the business, Sumner's speech to-day Was more an argument to prove that the President had violated the laws of nations and the constitution of the United States in his attempts to annex Dominica than am arraignment of the policy of annexation. Certain Senators are endea- voring to create the impression that Sumner’s Speech 1s an attack upon the republican party and @ new attempt to rend it asunder. On the other hand, however, Sumner asserted his unalterabie allegiance to the republican party, The effect of the speech will undoubtedly be to demoratize the Grant wing of the republican party, especially those who have tried to persuade themselves into the belief that the annexation of Dominica is a party measure and should be advocated upon party grounds. It was announced some days ago that Mr. Sumner would deliver his speech at the earliest opportunity, The fact that he had obtained the floor on Saturday for to-day was generally known tarough- out the city. Public curtosity had been aroused by the accounts which have appeared in the news- papers for some weeks past as to the character of the speech. It was believed in many quarters that it would be personally abusive of the President; that Sumner, smarting -under the recent action of the Senate in removing him, as he believes, at the instance of the President, trom the chairmanship of dhe Foreign Relations Commitice, would pour out all the vials of his wrath upon the President. The President’s friends in the Senate expected this, and they intended to point to it asa justification of the action of a majority of the repub- lican caucus in removing Sumner from the Foreign Relations Committee. Whatever may have been the original intention of Sumner in this regard there was nothing of it in his speech, Long betore the assembling ot the Senate there was @ crowd at the Capitol such as was customary in old Impeachment times. Avenues, corridors, galleries, lobbies, every place, there was a jam of men and women, all bent upon hearing Sumner. The Massa- chussetts Senator made his appearance in the Senate Chamber a few minuteg before twelve. At that hour there was no standing room in any. part of the Chamber open tothe public. As ne entered he was greeted with a slight outburst of applause, but he paid no attention to it. After tiie Senate was called to order the crowd seemed to increase, There Wa> a continual surging of the masses in the corridors who could not get into the already overcrowded galleries. Thousands, who had no hope of getting within hearing distance of tne Senator, lingered in the passages around the Senate in the expectation of filling any vacancy that might present itself. In this condition of affairs Senator Fenton, of New York, the most amiable man in the Senate, arose, and asked unanimous consent to admit ladies to the cloak rooms and lobbies of the Senate. Nobody was found so ungallant as to object to this. In a few minutes the cloak rooms overflowed with ladies, and finally they occu- pied seats on the floor of the Senate, in the east and west doors, and, indeed, wherever they could find standing room. Catacazy and nearly all the mem- “bers of the diplomatic corps were on the floor of the Senate, which was very much crowded with members of the House of Representatives. Old ha- vitués of the Senate say there has becn no such andience to listen to a speech in many years, Sumner began to speak at a quarter after twelve, He spoke from the seat of his oglleague, Senator Wilson, immediately in front of hus 6wn desk. Schurz occupied a seat on his right, and im- mediately surrounding bim were Wilson, Logan, Fenton and ex-Governor Dennison, of Ohio. Back upon a sofa, in Suminer’s rear, sat Brigadier Gene- ral Frederick A. Dent, the only member of the Presi- dent’s oftictal household present. When Sumner, in describing the character of Baez, alluded to the nepotism of that ruler and spoke of his appointing his brothers and brothers-in-law to office, there was @ perceptilje titter ran through the chamber. Dent seemed to see the point, for he, too, smiled. Sumner had the undivided attention of the au- tence and the very general attention of senators. Roscoe Conkling, who sat to the left of Sumner, and Edmunds, who sat in front of him, seemed to be un- usually busy writing letters. They were not so busy, however, but that when Sumner would come to some strong point in his speecn they would turn to their neighbors and make some comment upon it. Conkling was very persistent in his letter writing. ‘Phe general impression 1s that he embraced the oc- casion to answer all this corresponJents, Whose letters would probably never have been answered but for the lucky event of Sumner’s speech. But after two hours of Jaborlous effort to make himself oblivious to the scene around him, the blonde Senator abandoned the attempt. He next engaged in conversation with Senator Carpenter, so loud as to interfere with Sumner. The latter ceased speaking, and the Vice President called Conkling to order. This was re- peated several times, to the intense disgust of Sum- ner and the large audience who had come to hear him, not to gaze upon the faultless form of Mr. Conk- ling, perambulating through the Senate Chamber, Edmunds was very uneasy in hiwseat after he had got through his letter writing; finally he took up his hat and went out. Returning again soon after, he engaged in a conversation with Conkling and Car- penter. This was too mucn for Sumner. He stopped suddeniy and begged that the Senator from Vermont would not converse in so loud a tone. The Vice President called Edmunds to order and had read the second rule of the Senate, which prohibits Senators from talking while a Senator is speaking. ‘This set- tied tne business and Sumner was allowed to pro- ceed without further interruption. Just as he finished the arraignment of the Navy Department for the part it has taken én this business of anuexation, the burly form of Secretary Robeson appeared in the east door. Robeson had no idea of the indictment preferred against him, and he looked as innocent asaiamb. Further on in the speech he got an Idea of how he had transgressed international law, but he either fatied to comprehend it, or else he didn’t realize its magnitude, for he appeared quite unconcerned. General Sherman came in svon after Robeson, aud was an attentive listener to the latter part of the speech. Sumner's description of General Babcock as the “Young Missionary, Com- modese Llewipotentiary' created @ good deal of amusement. Several pas sages in the speech elicited applause, and the Vice President threatened to clear the galleries, but be did not carry his threat into effect. That part of the speech which seemed to strike the audience most forcibly was where Sum- ner charged that if the President had given one quarter of the attention to the Southern States that he has bestowed upon St. Domingo there would not have been any Ku Ktux tn that section, The following alluston to the Ku Klux, the aubject of debate before the Senate for some days, occur red in Sumner’s speech on St. Domingo to-aay. It was notin the speech as originally prepared:— How can we expect to putdown the Ku Klax at the south when we set in motion another Ku Klux, Kinared in constant insubordination to law and con- stitation? Difering im obj he two are kindred in this—insubordination. “One strikes at national Ute and the other at individual life. One moiests a people, the other a community. —Lawlessness is the comuon element, but i¢ 18 dificult to see how we can condemn with proper reprobation our own domestic Ku Kiux in its fearful outrages while the Presiaent puts himself at the head of a powerful anu costly Ku Klux operating abroad, in detianee of International law and the constitution of the United states, These are questions which I ask With sorrow, hor should I do otherwise than fail in justice to the occasion if L did not declare my unhesi- tating convictton that nad the President been so in- Spired as to bestow upon the protection of Southern Unionists, white and black, one-balf—nay, sir, one- quarter of the time, money, zeal, with personal attention, perscnal effort and personal intercession Which he has bestowea upon his actempt to obtain haif an isiand in the Caribbean Sea, our Southern Ku Klux would have existed in name only, whe tranquillity reigned everywhere within our borders, Here there wasa prolonged burst of applause from the galleries, which the Vice President sup- pressed. Mr, Sumner proceeded :— Now, sir, as I desire the suppression of the Ku Klux, and as 1 seek the elevation of the African race, T Insist that the Presidential scheme which Instals a new form of Ku Klux on the coasts of St Domingo, and which atthe same time insults the aAlrican race, represented tn the biack republic, shall be arrested. 1 speak now agaiust the Ku Kiux on the coast of St. Domingo, — of which the President is* the head, and = [ speak also tor the Airican race, Whom the President has trampled down, Is there any Senator in earnest against the Ku Kiux ? Let lim arrest it on the coast ol >t. Domingo. Is there any Senator ready at all times to seek the elevation of the African race? Here is the occasion for his best efforts. sumer ceased speaking at hall-past three, after haying held the attention of the vast audience and the Senate Jor three hours anda half, During the delivery of his speech the sceue in the Senate Cham- ber reminded those familiar with Macaulay's famous. essay of the scene in the House of Lords on the occasion of the impeachment of Warren Hastings, There were passages in Sumner’s speech sug- gestive of some of the milder passages in Edmund Burke's celebrated speech impeaching Hastings, though Burke’s delivery was more im- passioned than Sumner’s. It had been given out by the newspapers that the President did not desire any of his friends to reply to Sumner, and it was expected that when he had finished his speech the Seuate would’proceed with the regular order, which is the Ku Klux debate; but Morton took half an nour in reply and was followed by Howe, who had the floor when the Senate adjourned. The debate will probably be centinued to-morrow, and the indi- cations are that Sumner will be formally read out of the republican party, without benefit of clergy. Democratic Caucus—Geveral Amnesty the Antidote for Ku Ktux Outrages. The democratic membéts of Congress held a cau- cus to-night at the Capitol, continuing tn session nearly four hours, They interchanged views on the subject of the bill prepared by the House select committee and criticized its features, The state- meni was made in the course of the proceedings, which met with general assent, that most of the disturbances in the South were tne re- sult of the bad state of local government, while in not a few instances reports of violations of law, &c., were greatly exaggerated for political effect. The remedy, however, was not to be found in such Ku Klux measures as had been presented. It was inadvertently stated that the relieving of men from their political and legal disabilities would tend to produce general tranquillity more than any other Proposition, The caucus also discussed the pro- priety of issuing an address to the people of the United States, and appointed a committee to report one at a future caucus. Amount of Ex-Uollertor Bailey’s Defnalcation. To correct erroneous Impressions as to the amount of defalcation of J. F. Bailey, late Collector of Inter- nal Revenue for the Fourth and Thirty-second dis- tricts of New York, the Commissioner of Internal Revenue authorizes the statement that the actual cash defalcation reaches the sum of §132,642, made up or taxes collected and not deposited, collections from stamps not deposited, special deposit account with the Secretary of the Treasury, collections on spirits and tobacco unaccounted for, amount col- lected on account of storekeepers salaries and amount collected on agcount of gangers’ tees, The New York Central Railroad Tax Case.

The Question of Coast Defences—Cabinet Explans- tion of the Naval Estimates—Reparation + fom Spain—The Law of Marriage. TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD, Lonpon, March 27, 1871. The proceedings of the British Parliament have been quite animated and interesting during the evening, and continue so at the moment when I for- Ward my despatch by cabie telegram to the HERALD, In the House of Commons a debate was com- menced on the subject of the defences of the British coast, during which members of naval and military experience declared a preference for fotillas of guu- boats over other methods for security. Mr. Goschen introduced and proceeded to explain and justify the naval estimates. He observed, after @ recapitulation of its figures, that “the dockyards and navy of England were strong enough to defend her commerce and soil.” ‘The statements of Mr. Goschen gave great satisfac- tion to the House and were received with cheers, Lord Enfield stated that the Spanish government on Saturday paid, at the British Legation In Maarid, the sum demanded as indemnity to the crew of the steamship Tornado, for the losses which they sus- tained from the seizure of that vessel some years since by the Spanish autnorities, for an alleged breach of the neutrality laws.

Return of the Commissioners te Washington. Illness of Ben Wade—Social Equality in Vin ginia—Fred Douglass Snubbed by the First Families — Points of the Forthcoming Report—8t. Domingo No: a Desirable Acquistion by the United Statos, WASHINGTON, March 17, 1871, The St. Domingo Commission arrived.in Washing» ton this evening. They were met atthe boat by & number of their friends. Vice President Cole fax sent his carriage for Ben Wade, who will be his guest during his. stay in the clty. Senator Morton, who has taken & deep interest in the St. Domingo scheme, was also in attendance to welcome the Commissioners, Alb the members of the party are well except Bem Wade, who was ill during the trip from Chartestom ands is suffering from an attack of pleurisy. It {8 expected, however, that he will be able to visit the President tm a day or two. The report of the Commissioners is not completed yet, and will probably not be sent ta. Congress for some days. The party left the ‘Tennessee a® Charles- ton on yesterday morning and nunmediately took the train for Richmonds While om the boat, from Aquia Creek to Washington, when dinner was announced, the entiree party, in+ cluding Fred Douglass, proceeded to the saloon; bu& Douglass was refused admittance because he was a colored man. The other members of the Commise sion thereupon declined to enter the dining saloon. 4 It Is understood that the report of the Commission will be confined to answers to the various points enumerated in the resolution creating the Commis- sion. No opinions will be given upon the policy of annexion, Three of the important points upom which information was desired by the Senate, Bamely, the amount of tie Dominican debt, the boundary line between Dominica and Hayti, and the grants of lands by the Dominican government to private parties will be left unsettled in the report. The reason assigned is that the Commisstorers. found 1t impossible to obtain anything like a correct statement concerning these subjects. It seems to be the gencral opinion of the Commia- sioners that annexion cannot take place without involving usin a war with Hayti, Baes admitiea to the Commissioners that there are 1,000 square miles of territory belonging to the Dominican repub- fic and lying contiguous to Haytt under the controt of Cabral and his followers. It 1s stated that Baes dia not make any effort to allow the Commissionera to meet Cabral; but on the contrary, that he assured them that he could not afford them any protection Mf they visited that part of the island where Cabrak has sway. The Commissioners and those who accompanied them speak ‘in high terms of the sland, its climate and productions, bat ppear to entertain a very poor opinion of the peo- ple, who are described as indelent, superstitious and exceedingly undesirable in their present con- dition as an addition to the population of the United States. The impression is that the report of the Commission, when submitted to Congress, will not materially strengthen the position assumed by the friends of annexation. VIEWS OF THE PAST.
