Let Greeley be Hung.

H"two or more persons" says the kuklux
bill, within any STATE" shall conspire shy
force. intimidation or threats" "to pre-,
vent, hinder, or delay the execution Of any
lao Of the United States" they shall be
tiued, imprisoned, &C., sc.
Strange that the distinguished Republi-
can leaders of New York city should be
among the first to render themselves liable
to the penalties imposed by the kuklux bill.
Blu such is the fact. These gentlemen have
formed an antl-income-tax association with
the avowed intention both to hinder and
delay the execution of a law of the United
States, and also to have 1t pronounced un
constitutional by the courts and, II they
cannot succeed in this last purpose, to have
it repealed ! They do not propose to use
force, but they do resort to threats and III
timidation. GREELEY has twice induced
the Commissioner Of Internal Revenue to
issue new orders In regard to the collection
OF the income tax. We submit that Mr.,
GgEELEY should be hung.

CONGRESSIONAL.
HOUSE.

On motion OF Mr.. Sumner the follow
inc resolution was adopted
Resoiced That the Secretary of the
Navy he directed to communicate to the
Senate copy of the instructions given
to the commander OF the ship Tennessee
on her present cruise, and also to name
the United States ships in the waters OF
the Island of San Domingo since the
commencement of negotiations with the
Dominican Government, together with
the armaments and war ships.
A joint resolution from the Indiana
Legislature, Withdrawing the states al
legged ratification of the Fifteenth
Amendment was then taken up, Tor the
purpose Of allowing Mr.. Morton to ad-
dress the Senate on the question therein
presented, the latter part Of the morning
hour being awarded him for that pnr-
pose. =,
A resolution was offered by Mr..
Sumner, which was agreed to, instruct
ing the committee on Commerce 10
consider the expediency Of providing by
law for the regulation Of railroads in
the United States, so as to prevent the
loss of human life and promote the Sc
curity of passengers.
Mr.. Morton then argued to show the
right and power Of Congress to require
guarantees from the late rebel States as
a condition precedent to representation
in the Government; that these condl.
tons had taken form in constitutional
amendments, and having been severaily
accepted by those States, it was absurd
for other States to now question the
validity OF those amendments.
Upon the conclusion Of Mr. Morton
speech,
Mr.. Blair rose TO reply.
Mr.. Cole moved to take up approPri-
