, . &c NEW York, Sept. /.
II Is stated in Washington specials tha
the object Of the visit OF the President Il
for the purpose Of Issuing a proclamation
under the Ku Klux act, declaring MARTA
law in some sections Of the South Sena'
tor Scott, Of tho Ku.Rlux Committee, 4
known TO have been in conference with
the President on the subject yesterday
and 1t Is likely that at the Cabinet meeting
to-day, the course to be taken will bO de-
Clded upon.
The Postmaster General to-day ordered
mail service on the Marietta & Pittsburgh
railroad, between Marietta and Caldwell,
30 miles, and back, six times week, nom
October 1st
A dispatch received at the Post Office
Department from tho postmaster at Sa-
Vannah, Ca, says that the mails, and also
all the cars and passengers from Charles
ton, were refused admittance into Savan-
nah, In consequence OF the fear Of the
epidemic, yellow fever. 1t Is also stated
that the mails from Charleston will be
sent by way ol Augusta. ...
The Baltic Lloyd steamship line from
New York to Russia has given the Smith.
sOnian Institute transportation for books,
specimens Of natural history, &C., between
Russia and the United States.
The reason given for taking the State
Department agency In London from Bar
ing Bros. Is that that house had incurred
tho displeasure Of our authorities at vari.
Gus times, For aily years past they have
had constant use Of o cash balance
amounting to $4,000, worth 8 To 4 per
cent. During the late war their conduct
toward the United States was very repre-.
hensible, a fact which has been State
secret until now. During one quarter in
1891, the State Department made an over.
draft Of 100000 on Barring Bros, and
they sent an agent In haste here to collect
the balance, q much larger sum having
been sent them before bis arrival in this
country. The agent was so anxious that
when he got 10 Washington he repaired
at once to Mr.. Stewards house, long after
tho Secretary had retired to his sleeping
room. Mr.. Seward arose and adjusted |
the matter to the satisfaction Of the ap.
prGhensive agent and returned TO bed. |
Tho Barlngs have made handsome for.
tune out Of the government during the
last half century, and but for the fact Of
their long connection with the State De-
partment as agents, the government might
long ago have made arrangements to our
advantage with private banking houses
there, and at considerably less rates ol
exchanges. ..l -g. g..s. %

Ku.Klnx Committee, having been read
for the information oI the Cabinet, II was
determined TO enforce the laws, and as

applicable TO the case, when q proclama.
