Washington, April l5.--The Ku-Klux
bill passed the Senate last evening, with
amendments, by vote of 45 yeas to 19
nays-Seuator Lewis for and Senator John
ston against it. 1t now goes to the House
for concurrence in the amendments. The
mcst important amendment is that of Sen
ator Sherman, which makes damages to
person or property by Ku-Klux lien
upon all the property in the insurrectioua-
ry district where the outrage is perpetra-
ted This amendment is, above all others,
calculated to rouse property holders to the
pre-eminent duty of complete peace and
protection to all citizens. Property hold
ers will not long submit to the inhiction
of damages for which they must pay.
In the Senate this morning Senator
Robertson, of South Carolina, made an eff
fort to have the general amnesty bill con-
sidered, but several Senators opposed
taking it up on the ground of number of
members being absent, and urged it be de-
ferred until next week. Senator Trum-
bull and other friends of the measure de-
clared that this would defeat the bill.
Without deciding the matter, the Senate,
by vote of 81 to o. went into executive
session, and after some time spent therein,
adjourned.
The following nominations were con-
tirmed by the Senate to-day: Benjamin
K. Cowan, assistant secretary of interior
George s. Smith, assessor internal revenue
eighth district of Virginia; Edward X.
Snead, collector internal revenue first dis
trict of Virginia.
A large number Of ladies of this city
have sigued petition requesting to be
registered, so as to give them the privilege
of voting on Thursday next
The subscriptions to the new loan, re-
ported to the treasury department yester-
day, amounted to $454,600, making a

tressing accident occurred here this morn
ing, which will probably cause the death
of worthy citizen.
As the employees of box factory were
about commencing work, Mr.. Jabez B.
Wray took his position at pulley, at
tached to the main shafting, to adjust the
belt on it, and in doing so pushed it too
far, and while attempting to pull it back
to its proper position, his right hand was
caught in between the pulley and belt,
and his entire arm from wrist to shoulder
was mangled in most horrible manner,
literally tearing the arm off at the el bow
joint. and leaving it hanging to the belt.
Mr.. Pikeson, the engineer, hearing the
jarring of the machinery, and the jumping
OF the saw-table attracting his attention,
knew at once that something was wrong,
and instantly stopped his engine, which
alone saved Mr. Wray's life at the time
He now lies in critical condition, with
but little prospect of recovery. Mr.. Wray
is esteemed as one of our best citizens, aud
the unfortunate accident has awakened the
sympathies of the people to large extent
He is 55 years of age, and has a wife and
five sons. A.
