WASHINGTON GOSSIP.

The KuKlux debate may be broken
into by q renewal of the San Domingo
sousbble. The fear that Baez may not
be able to hold his own till December is
the difficulty. Senator Carpenter is pre-
pairing an elaborate speech for snnexa-
ton, and Sumner will of course respond.
Forty-one members of the House are
, booked for debate on Sbellabarger's bill.
Many Republicans are expected to follow
Farnswortb. Dawes says a weeks de-
bste will kill the bill. Buffers amend
ment for volunteers will only make the
bill more odious. He delivers his big
speech to morrow.
A special to the Louisville Ledger
says:
1t looks as if the Ku-Klux excitement
were being played out. Even the Radical
Senators run off at the most thrilling
passages of the play. The contrast be-
tween the galleries to-day and when
Schurs and Sumner spoke, on San Do
mingo, is very remarkable indeed. Frank
Blair is to speak on Monday, and will
make the most interesting effOIt.
The indication in the House to-day
continues favorable. Farnsworth, of
Illinois, who in a manly and impartial
manner has opposed the bill from tie
start, made speech in opposition, which
had good effect on the Radical side of
the House. He declared that they had
had enough of reconstruction, and he for
one was not willing to set aside the con-
stitution. he warned his party friends
that they had pushed things to that
point where they were running the Repub-
lican party.
The COurier-JOurR0L special gives tie
following gratifying confirmation
1t looks as though the Ku-Klux debate
would run till the middle of next week in
the House, when the bill will be mate
rally modified. If it should fail to Bic
amended there are apparently enough Re
publicans who will vote with the DEM
ocrsts to table it as soon as the session
ends.

SAN DOMINGO.

a correspondent of the tribune says {:
''The fact is, Senator Sumner spoke
nothing but the truth when he called
Baez political jockey. He jockeys his
people, and he has done his bes. to Jockey
the Commissioners. He completes the
thing by dressing as much like a Jockey
as any man can in the tropics. When he
came aboard the Tennessee, he reminded
me at once of q h0Tse-race. The Do
minican flag was run up TO the masthead
of this beautiful frigate, the officers
grouped themselves on deck in full dress
uniform, with syalloW-tsil coats, epau-
lets, white trousers and cooked hats; a
salute of twenty one guns was fired; and
the man for whom ali this parade was
made came on board in a brilliant jacket,
light pantaloons and a crimson velvet
cap, trimmed deliberately with gold lace,
and looking, TO tell the plain truth, like a
shrewd and rather tricky sport. He has
no wife, but scores of children. He has
neither character nor courage, though his
nominal power is almost absolute. In a
republic he rules like royal despot."

We publish in our supplement Of TO-
day. the San Domingo speech of Senator
Sumner, delivered in the Senate of the
United States, Monday last. March 81,
1871. That is marked. day in the an
nails Of Washington. 1t viii be a csy
from which politicians, who hover about
the capital city, will reckon. 1t had been
made pubic that MIR. Sumner was to
speak on that day. Leading papers in
the North were furnished beforehand
with printed. copies Of sthe speech.
In his delivery he read from slips
of the Congressional Globe, in
terspersed with few ebullitions
which seemed 10 be prompted by
the occasion. Nevertheless it was great
speech in many respects, certainly in the
subject and its surroundings. The whole
country was expectsnt. Those whose
prominence insured entrance to the
galleries attended. The crowd was great
er than could be remembered by the old
est inhabitant. The attempted impeach-
ment of President johnson, Webster's
reply TO Hayne, nothing in the past sur
passed, perhaps did not equal in attend
ance this day. The sofas and leaning
places about the walls of the Senate
chamber, the cloak ROOMS and side door
ways were occupied by the ladies, in cd
dition to the room allotted them in the
| galleries. The crowd was immense.
There was not vacant spot anywhere.
Secretaries, Representatives, Diplomatic
corps, reporters, theSecretary of the Navy
and Postmaster General and Gen. Dent,
we're all there, and all listened sttentively
from beginning to end, except Senators
Conkling and Edwards, whose conduct
brought severe rebuke from Senator
Sumner, which the Smiling Colfax dila-
torily reproved. The speech is a great
one, as speeches go nowadays. Not
equal, we think, to Mr.. Summers reputa'
ton. full of constitutional principles and
| international law, and yet much more
prolix than necessary. Yet it is great
spreech, and as such, we commend it to
our readers.

sonn of the Grant papers are end!

SOME of the Grant papers are endeay-
oring to prove that Father Grant never
had anything to do with gifts and giving,
vulgsfly bribery, upon principles laid
down by Gallon in his celebrated woih
Oh Hereditary Genius. The only differ
ence is this, that the Grants friends in
stead of reasoning from Father to Sor
are attempting to prove the fathers in
nocence by the sons guilt. This ratio
eination fails in the innocence, but is very
conclusive in guilt.

OUR RAILWAY MoNoroLlEs.

Since the appearance of our articles
yesterday morning upon the railway mon
opolies and the Louisville and Nashville
Railroad we have been furnished with
certain reported "facts" as 10 the efforts
of the Louisville and Nashville road to
circumvent the State of Tennessee and
appropriate its legislation to the behoof
of that road, which we are not at present
authorized to make public, but which
may prove good food for the digestion of
our next Legislature. In the meantime
it may be well for our legislators elect to
remember that the Constitution of Ten
nessee, which they will be sworn TO sup
port, declares: ''Perpetuities and monop-
olies are contrary to the genius of free
State, and shall not be dLIo,Ced."

The Dogs Strategy.

Mr.. Snapp, q bla * smith, owns two dogs
one a terrier, four or five years old, the
other half shepherd and half common cur,
about twelve or fifteen years old, and con-
sequcntly very feeble.
In the winter, between the hours of break
fast and dinner. and dinner and supper.
these two dogs may always be seen perched
up just far enough from Mr.. Snaps forge
TO escape the sparks, but still near enough
TO keep warm. | say between the hours OF
breakfast and dinner. because as soon as the
time for dinner comes-which they know
even better than the apprentices in the shop
they are both Off at full run, each aim
ing to secure a space behind the warm
kitchen stove, which is only large enough
for one dog at time. Now, the terrier be-
ing the most active, almost always secures
the coveted place, leaving the poor old dog
out in the cold.
The old dog being thus left out in the
cold one bitter cold day. put himself in a
thinking attitude, and set his wits to work
TO devise means by which he could get the
terrier out of the covettd place. All at once

door, who no sooner saw the terrier enter
the garden than he popped too, not in the
garden, but behind the warm kitchen stove,

no sooner made bis appearance, and seeing
the situation, than he tried exactly the same
stratagem with the shrewd old dog, with as
