WASHINGTON. D. c.. March q, 1871.
Senator Sumner, on Saturday, offered re-
solution directing the Secretary Of the Navy
70 INFORM the Senate as to the amount of ex-
penditure incurred in the support of the feet
Of twslve vessels now employed on the coast
Of San Domingo; after some amendments
were offered, Chandler objected to this bust
ness, - it would interfere with legislation for
the South. where thousands and tens OF thous-
sods we're being scourged and murdered. The
conjuring mp Of his immense Ku-Klux spectre
was enough, and the resolution went over
When Sumner opens on Grant and his San
Domingo policy, and the Administration gen.
orally. he will make the fur fly.
No doubt the Radicals on the committee
of nine appointed by the House to frame a
bill in relation to tho alleged outrages in the
South will sgree on one. 1t will not be as
strong - Buffers Ku-Klux bill. The Demo-
Gratis do not agree IS to the necessity for leg
islation. and will oppose to the bitter end any
attempt TO give Grant power to use the mill
tary. further than he now possesses.
The "new party" just started in Cincinnati,
Of which ex-Secrstary Cox is one of the Or
sanizers. has already, being but few days
old. assumed terrible shape in the eyes Of
Honcs Grsslsy, and he .lanenteth greatly
thsssst. Hosace says: ado these gentlemen
propose 10 run thsir machine on the Free Trade
track and beat Republican candidates, who

they know it, and they further know that to
longer remain in the Radical party Of protec-
lion to monopolies and plunderers would be
o lose their self-respect, and hence their eff
lost.t to build up "new party" The Demo
csAtic party offers them all which is proposed
10 their platform, and the quickest way of
crushing the monster Radicalism would DO to
msrch in the ranks of the Democratic army
know how men dislike to change their poll
tics. and; - . rule, are forced to do 50. This
oppostunity for Disguised Radicals. whose
slsong prejudicss would not permit their 60
ing ovsr to Democracy, will be gladly hailed
BY hundreds Of thousands Of them, and the
result will be that it will, as Greeley says,
cause the utter destruction of the Radical
party. Horace knows what party split in
twain means and he don't want to see it oc-
cur in his own dearly beloved party Of Pro-
lection and moral ideas.
The Tribune says that Senator Conkling,
in trying to below Senator Sumner down,

can surpsss him In that kind Of performance.
Is The rogues who have for sometime past
had full swing in raising" checks, drafts,
&C., from smsller to larger amounts and also
in altering the names and numbers in lost or
stolen bonds, have been brought to full stop
BY now invention called the "Check Pune
turer." Mr.. George w. Holmes, Jr., Gene
raj Agent, U. s., for the "Check .Puncturiug
Company" was before Treasurer Spinner and
the officials Of bis department, and SO COM
plstely was the efficacy of the machine de-
monstr.tsd that Mr.. Spinner determined to
uss them in his department, and in the strong
est terms advised the public to use them on
all government bonds and securities. This is
40 invention Of the greatest public Importance.
Governor Lindsay, of Alabama, and Judge
Dick Busted, of the Federal Court in that
State, have most emphatically declared that
there il no more disorder or opposition to the
enforcement Of the laws there than there is
in any State North. think this rather good
"loil" evidence, though just DOW it is treason
to the Grantees to say so. In the face OF
such testimony We have the extreme Radicals
insistins on an "appeal to arms" as the New
York Tribune very truly calls it, only the
arms are all on one side at present, the design
being to cause, if possible, such resistance as
will enable Grant to keep the Southern States

the North are moving slowly, but surely. in
this matter, and our Southern brethren must
have little more patience, and right will
prevail where there has been nothing but
years Of tyranny and wrong.
Grant yesterday whiued out bis regret that
the martyr Sumner was about to reopen the
debate on San Domingo before the report Of
the Commissioners was made. He has posted
his friends 70 not reply to his speech unless
be charges him lGrant) with improbable Of
lenses, which 10 most likely, when the big
Psesidentisn Cur-Norton-will growl bis

mingo question to 60 over till next session,
but not 90 those of bis friends, who have been
alarmed at the extent of the damage which it
has already done. and they want it disposed
Of At ones. Grant having set his greedy soul
upon the success Of this job, will sacrifice party
and everything else to its accomplishment, and
will recommend its consideration at tho next
session. have 10 doubt the Democrats will
