The Vice-President directed the Clerk to read the order made by the Senate on Friday, that this bill should be taken up at 12 o'clock to-day and considered to the exclusion of all other business until disposed of. Mr. Trumbull (Rep,, Ill.) said that this order introduced into the Senate an arbitrary rule in violation of its traditions and its history, and he moved to reconsider the vote by which the or- der was made. Mr. Scott (Rep., Pa.) moved to lay the motion to reconsider on the table. Agreed to. GIVING GRANT POWER TO RE-ELECT HIMSE Mr. Blair (Dem., Mo.) addressed the Senate in opposition to the bill. He said it was intended by this act to give to the President of the United States power to retlect himself by force. This was one of a series of acts by which elections in this country had been placed under the super- vision of the Federal authorities. The original act passed a year ago, which it was now sought to extend, had been passed as a feeler to try the temper of the people, and see how far it would be to go in overthrowing THE FIGHT FOR DESPOTI ——. the constitutional safeguards of the people's rights and liberties; and now it was to follow ‘it up by this bill. yon the original bill was under discussion It had been cloarly demonstrated that there was use for it, and he would not Fgument now | but he would call n points bearing on the Pres\- 88 extraordinary powers, nding bill, It was a Hgnitiennt the President did not respon resolution of inquiry asking for the n and the dates of the offences committed the Ku-Klux laws in the seven counties In Carolina in which he had declared martial He had in no instance given the date of any all offence, and this omission has been made with the deliberate purpose of creating the Impression that the offences were commit- ted at or about the time martial law was pro- claimed, when the fact was that most of them that were committed at all, were committed from nine to eighteen months before that time, A PEACEFUL STATE UNDER MARTIAL LAW. Mr. Blair here quoted from the testimony given before the Ku-Klux Committee, to show that months before the passage of the Ku-Klux act South Carolina was in an orderly and peaceable condition, and he defled Mr, Scott to polnt to the case of asingle person arested who was not arrested for an offence, or an alleged offence, committed at least three months before. Mr. Scott said he would call Mr. Blair's attention to the case of the men arrested in York county, &C.,on suapteton of burning a school house about the time when martial taw was declared. There were also other cases, but he would not interrupt Mr. Blair to mention them now. Mr. Blair said that the member from Pennsyl- vanla (Mr. Scott) could give only one case, and that acase in which the parties were acquitted, If the President could put a district under mar. tial law because of the burning of a school house, and one or two other outrages occurring there, no part of the country would be safe ; and if he vould base his declaration of martial law upon acts done a year or more before, why might he not pase it upon the fact that a re! lion existed there six years before. ONE OF THE PRETEXTS for declaring martial law was that there had peen intimidation of negro voters; but the votes cast at the elections o: and 1870 showed that ithad no foundation, In 1868. the pr counties gave Seymour at a total vote of al ernor, f over making # differen of these facts how he face to claim that th Mr. Blair sald furth: 9000 Votes.

Continuing his id that uuction, he would now read from a which he had received this very day from overnor of Mississippl, that pence, relgns throughout that 8t . lolence had extated tn Missisaippl. At a riot at Meridian six negroes had been killed. He (Mr. Alcorn) had employed to prosecute the parties, but their cases naferred to the Federal courts, and there had been no convictions. In answor so a ques- tion by Mr. Pratt, he sald there had been no Ku- Klux convictions under his administration, nor had there been any under the rule of the bayo- nets. If, as he had shown, peace and order retuned throughout Mississippl, was he not justified in standing here and protesting aguinat the, lives and Iiberties of the people of Mississippi being laced under the heel of the bayonet. Tho thern people, will not, come forward to the supoort of any President who has the power placed in his hands by Congress to deprive them of their liberties. He then charged that at the instigation of Mr. Ames, men had been sent lown to Mississippi to atir up strife among the people. The District Attorney of Northern Mis~ sissippi,he (Mr. Alcorn) understood, was a $1, clerk in Washington, and was sent down to Mir~ sisalppl as Chief Clerk of the Collector of Inter. nal Revenue, who took all he collected. ‘This Internal Revenue Collector had been appointed at the instance of the Senator from Mississippi (Mr. Ames), Mr. Ames said this was another one of the false statements which had been made. Mr. Alcorn sald he had his authority from the momber of the House from that district, and that Mississippi Representatives had all united in a protest against the appointment. He had endeavored to be courteous to his colleague, and he thought his colleague might be more cv teous in his disclaimers. But he had never heard any suspicion against, the Clerk of th Revenue Collector. He believed him worthy young man, but utterly wi to cope with the very able. b: sixalppl; and this, he held, was why there had been no Ku-Klux that district.

Wasninuros, May 20.—A inceting of the Robeson Investigation Committee was held thig imorning to consider and agree upon a report, but owing to the absence of Mr. Archer nothing wasklone save to adjojirn until 8 o'clock this evens ing. There was not a full attendance again this evening, Mr. Peters this time being absent, and the conmritter adjourned until to-morrow evens ing at half past seven, There will be two reports, by Sargent and another by Mr. Blair, th rman. Sargent’s report is a sweeping affatr, making the Secretary one of the purest men and best officers that ever held a position under thy Government, The editor of Tne SUN and newse papers generally are roundly abused by the Goat Island champion, It is a very ill-tempered docu ment, and Robeson's friends are by no means Satisfied with it. INVITATION TO A DINNER. A claim agent named Deickman, who hag acted as the legal adviser of Robeson during the investigation, has been very anxious abot Blair's report for several days. He had a nic Nettle dinner party arranged for yesterday, and made desperate exertions to have Gov. Blair present along with Senator Cragin and the jolly Robeson, but the Governor respectfully de- clined. Failing In this, he waited on a confiden- tial friend of Mr. Blair's last night and offered five hundred dollars to obtain a copy of the Governor's report. It {9 supposed that they wanted to effect some compromise, if possible, and carry off at least one of the Democratic members of tho committee. A COMMITTREMAN FIXED, It has been very generally known from tha commencement of the investigation that Mr. Warren, one of the Democrats on the commit tee, had beon fixed all right by the Robeson, Roach and Pennock Ring. Fe ts a brother of the Warren who was brought hore to swear the Pennock tron through. The Warrens have the sole agency for Pennock’s Eureka tron in New York, and Speaker Blaine knew what he was about when he put Congressman Warren on thie committee. ‘The report of Gov. Blair is a temperate and dispassioned review of the whole case, and is a masterly summing up of all the damaging facta brought out In the Investigation, It ts short, terse and vigorous ; and coming as it does from Mr. Blair, a Republican, but an honest man, it will be impossible for Robeson to survive {t, A FLIMSY DEFENCE DEMOLISHED, The Secor case is thoroughly done, not ak hole being left for the escape of the Secretary, His flimsy defence, which has been adopted by Sargent, is quietly but perfectly demolished, and the payment of $9,000 to Secor, Perine, Secor & Co,, a8 well as the $25,000 paid to Zeno Secor, it denounced as a wilful violation of the law, which there fs no excuse or palliation. ‘The contracts with Roack and Pennock are characterized as improper ones, made in an improper manner, without conforming ta the plain requirements of the law, The Gove ernor deals unsparingly with the Governor claim, handles without gloves all those who wera neerned in this steal, He characterizes tha administration of the department as Inexeusas bly loose that will permit @ claim of this char- acter tobe put through in the manner it was. On the question of personal corruption, the Governor says very truly that the only way in which corruption can be proven Is by Inference, and he thinks th room for graye susplelon in this case.
