An InterminabIe Nuisance.
There is no idea when Congress will ad-
journ. If an earnest debate commences
on the Sherman bill the session will be
certainly prolonged ten days or two
weeks. The opinion is becoming wide
spread that the Santo Domingo Commits
sioners' report will go in at the present
session.

Spencer, and Mr.. Degener, of Texas, and

Cavalry for South Carolina
Attorney-general Chamberlain, of South
Carolina, arrived here as the bearer of q
letter from Gov. Scott, making formal
request for troops to aid in enforcing the
laws. Chamberlain says in some districts
of the State it Is impossible to serve civil
process. The civil authorities are unable,
by reason of Ku-Klux organizations, to
enforce the laws. Gov. Scott requests
that regiment of cavalry may be sent
. into the State. Owing 70 the peculiar
manner in which the Ku-Klux operate,
infantry would not be as efficient as cav
airy. The letter will be presented to the
President to-day.
The High Commission - America
OutgeneraIed.
During the sessions of the Joint High
Commission during the past week, the re.
lations of the two countries to each other
were considered in general, with view
of settling what concessions might be |
made by either side, before any particular |
point in dispute is taken up for settle |
ment. The impression that prevailed at |
tira that England was prepared to offer |
the olive branch, and mere bubbles |
would be discarded for q candid and |
frank avowal of the wrongs commit |
ted, and that damages would be adjusted, |
has given place to a fear that England |
is not disposed to make any msgnanimous
concessions, and if any arrangements are
entered into Tor settlement of the pend
ing questions, it must be on the basis Of |
an equivalent. The Commissioners seem
to incline rather to the plan of purchasing
the right of our fishermen to fish freely |
in Canadian waters without restriction.
That is looked upon as an easy mode of
settlement. On the other hand there is
very popular sentiment against COM
mencing the adjustment of our differen-
ces with England by our agreeing to pay
England money. 1t is said that neither
a revival of the reciprocity treaty, nor
the payment of a considerable sum for
t he right to fish forever in Canadian wa
tiers will be popular with our people. 1t
is hoped, however, that the Commission,
after a thorough consideration of the
subject may arrive at some solution which
will be mutually satisfactory.
Southern Democrats.
Southern Democrats, have after consul
tation, agreed not to issue an address to
their constituents at present, but first ad-
wise with their Democratic associates in
the House and be governed by the views
a caucus of the party.
Important supreme Court Decision.
The following case has been decided
to-day in the Supreme Court of the Uni
ted States: S. Levy vs.. A. T. Stewart g.
Co.; error in Circuit Court for District of
Louisiana This was an action by Stew
art & Co. on note of Levy made in
1860. The defense was that the suit was
barred by the louisiana statute of pro-
scription. The judgment was for plain
tiffs, the court holding that the statute
did not run during the time plaintiffs
were debarred from commencing action
by reason of the existence of the war.
This court affirms the judgment.

ing at New York, has ordered forward
200 recruits from his depot to the depot
