ku KIux-A Witness Refuses to An
swer-Congsess VS.. the COastitu
tI0n.
WAsHINaToN, Sept. 2S.-The genera
Ku Klux investigating committee met
again to day. F. N. Sradwell, of Hills
bo-o, N. c., and David Gest, of Union
county, s. c., having failed to appear as
witnesses, the Chairman authorized q re-
QUESTION on the President to issue his
warrant for their arrest. The committee
then adjourned to the first day of the next
session of the next Congress, or sooner if
called by the Chairman, after which the
subcommittee examined Col. VIM. L.
Saunders, of North Carolina, and Edward
Wheeler, of Arkansas.
Saunders, of North Carolina, whom
the committee have had much trouble in
getting before them, refused to answer
all questions of his connection, or any
Others, with the said Ku Klux orgsniza-
ton, on the ground that he was not COM
PEELED to criminate himself. The act Of
Congress of 1852, which does not excuse
witness from testifying before a Con-
gressional Committee, was quoted to him,
but he preferred to rely on the Constitu-
ton rather than an act of Congress. His
case viii be reported to Congress.
The two subcommittee of the Ku-
Klux Committee, held a meeting to-day.
The subcommittee for the Carolinas,
Georgia and Florida, resolved to meet at
Augusta, Oct. Is.
The subcommittee for Tennessee, Ala
bama and Mississippi will meet in Hunts
lille Oct. 6.
Sherman's Opinion of Santana.
The War Department transmitted to
the Interior Department the correspond
ence of Gen. Pope and Friend Hoag, In
dian Superintendent, detailing the return
of the mules stolen by the Kiowas,
and stating that Kicking Bird and other
Kiowa chiefs made a strong appeal for
the release of Santana and Big Tree.
Gen. Sherman endorsed on the corre-
spondence that Santana ought to have
been hung; that would have ended the
trouble; but as his sentence has been COM
muted to imprisonment for life, the
Kiewas win be everlastingly pleading for
his release. He should never be released.
The War Department should never con-
sent to his return to his tribe.
PrOflfgate Reformers.
The press of this city speak in denun-
cistory terms of a meeting held last
evening under the auspices of the Wo-
mans Club to reform the social evil as q
fraud, profigacy being carried on under
the guise of reform, and q demand is
made that this be stopped.

From Out of lhe Earth,

Dr. Hogle, of Columbia, has presented
us with specimens of fossil rock from
Mount Pegasus, near Columbia. The
hills in the vicinity, we learn, are formed
entirely of this stone, which seems to have
undergone some hydrostatic transforma-
tion. Some portions of the specimens
were originally lithophytic, both of the
petricola pholodiformis and Dactylus
species. The hills in Maury present some
strange geological features, that might
prove of much scientific interest to the
student of natural history.

SiRtsmeBl Of Capitals Drummoad, Who Saw
Her 100 Miles from Cape HattsFas,
"a Perfect Gale"

New YORK, February 14.-The
World has a dispatch frOm Philadel-
phia giving additional particulars
from Captain DrummOnd OF his sight
ing the Tennessee. The Captain says :
81 first saw this vessel about eleven
o'clock on the night Of Januray 18th.
The vessel left New York harbOr late
in the afternoon Of the 18th by land
time. 1t was on the 18th by nautical
time and the 18th by land time that l
first saw her masthead lights. l do
not know that she was a bark-rigged
vessel. Her miZzen tops might have
been furled and l not discern it. The
vessel was acting very strangely, and
it was all we could do TO
keep out Of her way. She was
steering directly south. She crossed
our bows, within five hundred feet of
US. This Wss about one hundred
miles from Cape Hatteras. A perfect
gale was blowing. The Anderson
shipped a great deal of water during
the night, and labOred very heavily.
I felt confident il was the Tennessee
we saw. fshe got through the storm
all right, she would certainly have
put in at Jamaica in four days, and
reported from that place." Both Cap
tain DrummOnd and first mate are
positive it was the Tennessee that
they saw, as she would have been
Just at that place on the 18th of jan
uary, land time. Captain Drum
mOnd would have reported it before,
but did not know that the Tennessee
had not been heard from.

NEW YORK, February 14.-A cor
respondent of the Times, at New Ham
burg, says: Yesterday morning
some fishermen about two miles be-
low this place drew up in a meta frag-
ment Of lady's undergarment, ii
was partially burned and stained and
saturated with kerosene.
"a piece Ofvelvet vest, ,scOrched and
soaked with crude oil and attached TO
splinter, was, found near the low
point three miles below here, on Mon
day. If these fragments could have
so been carried out by the action OF
the tide, the probability that the
bodies have been carried down is ap-
parent. It is feared that many more
victims than the twenty-five account
ed for have perished."
The billiard contest between Ru-
dOlphe and Tom Flynn, commenced
at Gam yesterday, with trial of
skill at pin pool, forty dollars per
game. RudOlphe winning two hum
dred and forty dollars the game was

discount. The contest was continued
Yesterday afternoon at twenty-five
dollars per game, and without stop
ping for dinner the combatsnts raised
the stake to forty dollars at night,
continuing to play until 3 o'clock this
am. at this hour Flynn is winner
by six games. Becoming desperate
and confident of-success as his OppO-
nent became exhausted, RudOlphe
proposed to raise the stake to one hun
dred dollars, which proposition was
agreed TO and the game was continued
without intermissiOn up TO 6 O'Clock
this IA. RudOlphe closed three games
ahead.

| 500; (Messrs. Lewis & Anderson, in.
surance agents, representing these
companies). Faulkner & Bcherck, to.
tai loss, were insured in New Orleans.
All Of these are not losses to these
companies, as there was a consideTa-
bic amount covered by goods saved.
SAVED AND LOST.
Grinnau & Wayland had a yerv
heavy stock on hand. All in the front
store was burned. But there was a
considerable amount in the back room
that was not burned and a large stock
Of perhaps over twenty thousand in
the Pernet building that was only
slightly damaged. Stone saved the
stoves in his back room, seven or
eight hundred in number.
No goods Of any account were saved
except by Grinnau & Wayland and
the Affords. There were many goods
damaged on the other portion Of the
block, and on the opposite side Of the
street by tls removal Of goods. The
printing office Of +. J. Patillo, in
which was printed the Home AdUOc0te
and Jefferson Democrat, was a total
loss. he will resume again as soon
as he can procure a new office.
INCIDENTS OF THE FIRE.
The fire was first discovered BY the
printers in the Democrat Office. The
morning paper was ready for press,
when Mr.. James, the foreman and
superintendent of the Office, finding
the room filed with smoke, ran down
stairs, saw that Faulkner q Scherck's
store was on fire, burst open the door
and gave the alarm. The rooms
above this store and in front of the
Democrat Office, on Austin street, were
OcCu pied as sleeping apartments. The
startled inmates had barely time to
escape in their night clothes by jump.
ing from the windows. Mr.. Scherck,
we understand, was badly hurt in the
fall, and a young getleman with him
broke his arm Mr.. BlOOmingdale
and others escaped unhUrt.
THE ORIGIN OF THE FIRE
is unknown. No one slept in the low
er story. 1t is regarded as accidental.
1t is a serious, and we may truth
fully say a sad calamity for Jefferson.
Several OF the most enteTprising mer-
chants Of the city have been seri-
Ously crippled by it, and the insurance
Offices suffer to an extent that is to be
deplOred.
