THE WRATH OF SUMNER.
WHAT CONGRESS Is DOING.
The Prospects for the Session--rhe
Force Bill Hatchfng-Trouble In the
Radical Camp.
WASHINGTON, March IL.

WASHINGTON, March IL.
The Democratic caucus this morning re.
solved that il was the duty Of every member
to remain in his seat to defeat dangerous
legislation.
The Republican caucus determined to re-
main in session until Southern affairs are fully
discussed, and some law devised which will
satisfy Southern extremists. They have re.
solved that only the Ku-Klux Dill be- entertain
ed Efforts to favor legislation on salt, coal,
and on the Cincinnati and Southern Railroad
failed. The majority Of all parties seem indis.
posed to enter upon general legislation: The
caucus appointed committee five to confer
with a similar committee from the House
caucus to devise force bill.
Nr. Elliott, of South Carolina, (colored,J
made strong appeal to the Republicans not
to consent to an adjournment until bill was
passed to punish the Kr-Klux and protect the
citizens Of the South.
Morton's bill making outrages amenable to
the Federal Courts, and exacting iron-clad
oarhs from Federal jurors, win be presented
onMonday.
The impression is growing that the Demo-
Gratis, aided by the more. conservative Repub-
llcans, will succeed in defeating any Legislation
supplementary to reconstruction.
The New York Tribune and Herald both pre-
dict disaster to the Republican party owing to
the removal of Sumner from the chairman
ship Of the committee on foreign affairs. The
Herald says:
Until Yesterday the Republicans felt conf.
dent OF carrying New Hampshire by at least
100 majority, but the news of the actlon OF the
Senate caucus Is reported to have somewhat
shaken their confidence. Whether it will give
the State to the Democrats is not certain, Oh,
It is evident that the quarrel between Grant
and Sumner is destined to produce a war OF
factions in the ranks Of their party, at least, 10
New England.
Later.
= WASHINGTON, March II.
The Joint committee Of the Republican eau
cuses will meet tomorrow at 10 o'clock, to de-
wise q Ku.Klux bill Whatever bill the COM
miLtee may present, Sumner will move 10
amend by his supplemental civil rights bill.
Sumner, In the caucus, held that the loyalists
of the North, as we'll as those Of the South,
needed safeguards. Thirty Republicans inthe
House are counted upon to act with the DEM
ocrats in opposing such legislation.

Quiet appears to be restored here. Three
companies of United States infantry are en-
camped in the town, and the utmost good
feeling exists between the civil and military
authorities. 1t is understood that the arms in
the hands of the negro militia are to be given
up.
The Governor has written to several promi-
nent citizens OF this section to assemble In
Columbia tomorrow, and doubtless good will
result.
From the beginning Of these troubles up to
this time two whites have been wounded, and
two three negroes killed, and perhaps few
wounded. The accounts have been very much
exaggerated.
The only danger now apprehended is from
the execution of threats on the part of the
negroes TO burn the town, one attempt having
been already made. The town, however, is
guarded at night by patrol of citizens. The
military propose either TO aid or relieve them

THE FIGHT on WEDNESDAY.
The negroes, still irf1amed with passion,
toolsnp position on the road between Union
and Chester. During the day Tuesday a
courier arrived at Union calling on the people
Of that town to go to the assistance OF the
people of Chester Courthouse, to defend that
place from a threatened attack. To this call a
number of young men promptly responded,
and started from Union late Tuesday evening.
Early on Wednesday morning, when about
mile from the church, hearing that the negroes
had burnt that building, and, 1t was supposed,
left for Chester, five of the men were sent for
ward 10 find out the true condition Of affairs.
While riding along the road near the church,
FIVE volleys of musketry. were suddenly
fired upon them in rapid succession, from
behind trees and bonlders of rock. The white
men retreated, and the negroes made charge.
The main body of the white men then
came up and returned the fire OF the negroes,
with such effect that they broke and ran.
Seven negroes were killed and one taken to
the Chester jail. 1t was miracle that not

No other injury to the white men was done,
but they had one horse killed and two badly

The Ku.Klax Trials on saturaay.

Charleston, Dec. l0.-At Columbia in
the Federal Court yesterday, the Govern
ment entered nolle prosegui in the first
indictment against Bratton and others, and
presented new indictment charging them
with murder. This brings up question
which is expected to go fora decision to the
Supreme Court. The objection of the de-
fence to the new indictment was over-ruled,
but they were given until Monday to ex-
anime the indictment. The defence argue
that the prisoner who pleaded guilty, should
be lightly punished under the fourth section
of Ku-klux bill, but the prosecution claims
that their sentence should be ten years inn
prisonment and five thousand dollars fine
under the 9th section.

the bolt being broken off. When the
owner arrived this morning he found the
place open and the lamp burning, the bur-
glars having lighted the lamp, no doubt,
to enable them to select the best brands of
cigars. They had carelessly laid piece of
burning paper on a wooden showcase, and
It was perhaps not their fault that the place
was not burned up also.

HARBoR MASTERS FEEs.-We learn

| HARBOR MASTERS FEES.-We learn
that an important case involving the con-
stitutionality of the General Assembly OF
lS66-G7, will come before the Supreme
Court of Appeals for adjudication. The
case is Braydon VS.. owners steamer "We-
honsh," and comes up from the Corpora
ton court of Fredericksburg, where the
plaintiff recovered verdict for some $500
for fees, under this act. The defendant,
applied for and obtained writ of super
! sedeoS They claim in their assignment Of
errors, that the claim for harbor masters
fees is claim founded on statute in con-
fiict with the United States Constitution,
it being, as they claim, regulation oi
commerce and also duty on tonnage.
The case is locked to with interest
throughout the State, as it is considered TO
be test case. 1t is expected that this
case will be disposed of early in January.
1t Is the more important as no case inyely-
ing exactly the same principles has ever
been decided either by our State Court of
Appeals or the Supreme Court of the
United States. 81

CoAL.-At present some of the North
ern ports from which supply of coal is
obtained are blocked up with ice. The
amount of red ash coal here is light on the
wharyes and il the ice embargo should con-
tlnue the price for choice grades of that
description must rule high in this and other
Southern cities. 1t seems strange that the
people of Richmond, living almost in d
stones throw Of inexhaustlble beds Of
good coal, should have any need to 90 any
where else, but SO it is, and remains one Of
the most curious features in our system Of
domestic economy.
There is also great complaint of the scar
city OF coal obtained from the Chesterfield
pits, is evident there is great lack of sys-
tenn on the part of either the dealers or
those who furnish them, as at times it is
almost impossible to obtain load of soft
coal. We trust the defect will be remedied
at once, and that complaints for want of an
article 50 bountifully supplied by nature,
will be heard no more.

picture of the family group of Emanuel
Semon, deceased, who, for more than forty
years, was the honored Grand Steward and
Tyler OF the Grand Lodge of Masons Of
Virginia. Mr.. Semon's high respectability
and his well-known character in Richmond
lends strong interest in the group before
us. lie was the father of seventeen chill
dren by one wife, eleven of whom are still
living and grown; all of whom are engaged
actively IN different characters of business.
Or the eleven living children, seven are
daughters and four sons. OF the former,
three are still single, and of the latter, two
are single. Two sons and two daughters
are now residing in Philadelphia, where it
will be remembered, the aged father died
short time ago. Mr.. Semon was native
OF Amsterdam, Holland, and emigrated to
this country about the year 1920. Not
the least interesting feature of the picture
Is that of a faithful servant boy owned
and raised by Mr.. S., whose name is James
Taylor. Taylor is now living with that
portion of the family residing in Phiadel-
phia, and has steadily refused to accept
other situations. Mrs. Hexter, the wife
of Levi IIexter, a merchant Of Main
street, and Judah Semon, engaged in the
book business at No. sos Broad street,
are the only members of the family now
living in Richmond.
Mr.. Semon, the deceased, will be pleas
antly remembered by every member of the
Masonic fraternity who were in the habit
of attending the meetings of the Grand |
Lodge of this State. His life and example
are well worthy the imitation of the youth |
OF the land, and we commend them to their |

koBBERY AND ATTEMPTED MURDER.
The servant girl, employed by MIR. John
Nettles, who resides ON Third street, be-
tween Clay and Leigh, got up about O
O'Clock Sunday morning, when she observed
man standing at the foot of the kitchen
steps. She gave the alarm, and on running
to the dining-room door was attacked by
the robbers, who threw two large stones at
her. splitting the panel of the door. They
succeeded in securing carriage cover and
a half dozen chickens, as reward for their
daring attempt at robbery and murder.
