Congressional proceedings yesterday were
confined mainly to the discussion Of
the condition of the South. In the Senate,
after the introduction of several unimportant
bills, Mr.. Sherman's resolution providing for
the appointment of committee to investigate
Southern affairs, alleging the subversion by
armed men, mainly soldiers of the late rebel
army, of all civil authority in large part Of
the Southern States, was taken up. Mr.. Sher-
man made an earnest appeal in favor of his
resolution, contendng that every charge was
fully sustained by testimony before Senate
committee, and that the public condi-
tion in the eleven Southern States was one
of unparalleled horror and anarchy, and
denounced the Ku Klux order as disgrace
to civilization. Mr. Davis, of Kentucky.

fame of Kentucky was also sturdily defended
by it's new Senator, Stevenson, who denied both
the premises and deductions of Mr.. Sherman,
and asserted that in the same length Of time
more crime and outrage We're committed in the
city Of Cincinnati than in the whole State OF
Kentucky. Without taking action on the resolu-
ton the Senate called up Mr.. Anthony's rcso-
ton, limiting the business of the session to
the Deficiency Appropriation bill and resolu-
Southern aifa airs and Mr.. Sherman's resolution
for the suppression OF the Ku Klux organi-
cation. The resolution was opposed by
Mr.. Trumbull, who contended that measures
of revenue reform, looking to the reduction Of
taxes, were of more Importance than the local
legislation contemplated by Mr.. Anthony's
resolution. The subject was finally laid aside,
and Mr.. Stewart made unanimous report
from the Committee on Privileges and Eec-
tions in the case of the Texas contested Sena-
torslip, awarding the scat to Morgan G.
Hamilton, and declaring the election of General
Reynolds null and void. This ended the pro-
ceedings, and at hall-past five o'clock the
Senate adjourned.
The House, in accordance with its repeatedly
expressed determination not to engage in
general legislation, was not In session, having
adjourned over until Monday.

The Southern Mcthodists and the Lost
Cause.

The Southern Mcthodists and the Lost
Down 10 our late Southern rebellion all our
Protestant churches, excepting the Episcopal,
were divided into North and South by the line
Of African slavery. During the rebellion the
division extended to the Episcopal Church;
for while its ministers in Washington
prayed for q blessing upon 'Thy ser
want the President of the United States"
its ministers in Richmond, bound by the situa-
ton of things dc .facto, prayed for ''Thy SER
want, the President Of the Confederate States.
"Jeff Davis" had just been refreshed by that
prayer in his church at Richmond on that
memorable Sunday in April 1865, when little
note was handed him from General Lee, ''at
the 'front.'" announcing substantially that it
was all up with the Confederacy, and the
President thereof straightway departed never
to hear that prayer in Richmond again. Since
that memorable day the Southern Protestant
churches, headed by the Episcopal, North and
South, have been united but the Southern
Methodists still, as it appears, have a weak
ness for the ''iost cause"
The Southeastern Mettodist, of Memphis,
Tenn, for example, says tha: ''the Southern
States would develop different civil and social
institutions if they were not strongly bound
together under one central government !" that
''as one section goes the other must follow
under present circumstances !" but that lit is
not SO in matters ecclesiastical" !" that ''here,
happily, independence is maintained;" that
''our section Of the old Church can stand by
the old landmarks" (such, for instance, as negro
iDferiority); and that I'VE cannot be forced by
radical majorities into radical measures" The
meaning of this is that generation or two
will have TO pass away before the South, even
in religious matters, will forget the 'lost
cause The subject is full Of interest and
full Of danger yet, looking to the political
signs Of the times North and South.

It was the general impression that Congress
will pass law prohibiting the reelection of

not pass into law revolution will follow. In
