Success. the greater the disaster more
reasonable method of dealing with the diff
culties, he says, is suggested oy the JOINT res
olution now pending in the Senate, which con-
templates call upon Congress, T. under tne
tlcle of the United States Constitution, for pro-
tection tIarainst domestic violence" TO this he
would have no objection, provided we have no

does not think tllar we have any facts which
will convince Congress or the PRESIDENT That the
ssdomestie violence now existing in the Stale Is
beyond the power Of our IT. own ciVll aliLnorltes TO
control and reprcss. This brings him to con-
sider the remedy substantially proposed in the
hiIl which he transmits. 1t consists, briefly, in
giving enlarged powers and facilities for the
detection and punishment of crime to the pro-
scouting officers of the State. He IS not tena-
cious of the exact mode proposed IN this Dill.

yided for in this bill will secure the per-
maient and peaceful removal oil present
dangers is enough to condemn martial law,
and postpone call upon the United States.
But ihe great hope, after all. as he sets forth,
is in the disposition and determination OF the

WASHINGTON, January ~.
The elements composing the reconstruction
committee are so unharmonlous that the COM
mittee is virtually dissolved; no measure pro-
posed can be sanctioned by majority. There
is no disposition on the part OF the chairman
to call a meeting Of the committee.
The contest, yesterday, for the seat from the
Fifth Georgia District attracted much attention.
General Young managed the case for Corker
Democrat while General Butler championed
Beard (colored) Radical. The result, l4S for
seating Corker to IL adverse, shows that the
majority candidates from the South, provided
they can take the oath, are tolerably sure OF
seats. General Young was much applauded
for his shrewd management Of the case.
In the Senate, the committee on postofices
reported bill for bridging the Mississippi al
Bonneville.
The bill increasing pensions was passed, and
goes to the President. 1t involves an increas-
ed expenditure of five millions. The bill
abolishing the income tax was passed by
vote of &c to 25. Blair voted no. This is a
triumph OF Commissioner Pleasonton over
Secretaries Boutwell, and Delano. the Vste

TUE ESFoRcEMENr OF CIVIL Law
Attorney-General Chamberlain to the
Rescue-A Way TO Curry Out Governor
Scott's Suggestions.

Attorney General Chamberlain has address
cd letter to the Hon. Warren D. Wilkes,
chairman of the Judiciary co nmiltee, House Of
Representatives, transmitting Herewith the
draft of bill intended 10 embody In the form
Of law the ideas suggested in his EXcellency's
special message, of the 18th instant, concern
ing the more effective enforcement OF the
civil law of the State.
The attorney. general declares that the bill
has been prepared by him as u part OF his OIL
cial duty, aud at the Immediate request Of The
Governor, as well as of numerous other pa
trotic gentlemen of all parties, who have
seen in the suggestions contained in his En-
cellency's message a ground Of hope for re-
preston of the crimes which now disturb the
peace Of the State; and it is directed to Mr..
Wilkes as being the head OF the committee
more especially charged With the care and de-
velOpment OF the laws OF the State. The bill,
following the line OF thought embodied in Gov
ernor Scotts message, devolves large powers
aud responsibilities upon the encouragement.
In view of this, Mr.. Chamberlain says: II
trust l shall be believed when l say that
personally should have been far better
pleased if some other way had been de-
vised than by adding to the duties and
laDors OF my Office; but if the Legislature,
agreeing with the Governor, shall find in this
u hopeful remedy for our present evils, shall
not only not shrink from the additional re-
sponsibities, but l shall checrfully accept
them, and shall deem myself most fortunate if
vigorous and faithful use of these enlarged
powers shall result in the rc-establishnent oil
good order and personal security in our
Stale" Mr.. Chamberlain refers TO the fact
that of the many remedies ior The evils now
existing, Two are now engaging the attention
OF the Legislature, namely-a declaration OF
martial law, and q call upon Congress to PRO
tect the State against domestic violence" AS
the motive or the Judgment Of those who thus
advise martial law. The consequence Lo
