SENATE.
WASHINGTON, March 30.-Mr. Davis,
of Kentucky, offered resolution in
structing the-Secretaries of the Treasury,
War and the Navy, to report the amount
and ownership of property seized since
July l, 1861, for their departments, NOT
disposed of and the disposition of the
proceeds of sales of such property.
The Ku. Klux Business.
The consideration of Mr.. Anthony's
amendment on the order of business to
allow the consideration of any bill on the
South passed by the House of Represent
atives was resumed.
Senator Davis defended Kentucky from
the charges of lawlessness.
The resolution was adopted without a
division.
Mr.. Sherman's resolution instructing
the Judiciary Committee to bring in bill
to repress Ku-Klux outrages was then
proceeded with.
Mr.. Blair desired Senator Morton to
answer candidly whether the negroes had
not been entrusted with the ballot in or
der to obtain Republican votes.
Mr.. Morton replied it was well known
that reconstruction could not be accom-
plished on q white basis. The white
people of the South would not accept the
situation.
Mr.. Blair emphatically-They did ac-
cept the situation; they did abolish
slavery and never lifted hand against
the government since, and any one who
asserts the contrary asserts that which is
not true. General applause in the gal
leries.)
The Louisville Courter.JOurna1.
Mr.. Morton had read an editorial from
the Lou risville Courier. Journal denouncing
outrages and lawless bands, and blaming
the Legislature for inaction. Mr.. Morton
did not mean to say that lswlessDess was
universal among the Democratic party of
Kentucky. Tne late Governor and two
Democratic Judges had done their duty,
as also one Democratic paper, the Courier
Journal out of forty published in the
State, but they were unable to influence
the Democratic party of the State.
After brief executive session the Sen
ate adjourned.

No breeching is used, and hip-straps are

positive cruelty. Remove every sup
