WASHINGTON, March 70, 1871.
Yhe I'm kIux in South Carolina-A Gail for

Attorney General chamberlain, Of South Carolina,
mas arrived here the bearer Of letter from Cover
nor Scott, OF that State, making a formal request
for troops TO aii In enforcing the laws. Mr.. Cham
borain says that in districts OF that State 1t
has become impossible To a civil process. The
clyll authorities are unable. by reason OF the Ku
KluN organization, 10 enforce the laws. Governor
Scott requests that regiment OF cavalry may be
.sent in The state. Owing to the peculiar manner in
winch the Ku KluX operate infantry would not be
as enicent as cavalry The letter VIII oe pre- esented
t. the President tomorrow.
The sherman Ku Klwx Resolution.
Is seems 10 be the general opinion tonight that
Congress VIII remain in session at least y couple
OF weeks, and perhaps longer The republicans
in the Senate VIII insist upon full dis
cassion OF Sberman's resolution relating
10 the Ku klN. At first rhe democrats were dis
posed 10 allow the republicans do all talking
but they have come TO the conclusion that the charges
brought against the democrats OF the South must be
met anu, If possible, answered. Several democratic
Senators are, therefore. preparing take part In
the debate. II is not believed that even should the
Sherman resolution pass, the judiciary Committee
viii make o regular report. They Will probably
stale that they are unable to agree upon the bill.
The republicans 10 think that the debate will
do good, even should no bii be reported.
