we leave local power 10 state governments, this
does not impair or imperil the right and duty of
our protecting the fundamental human rights
OF the people. This right and duty, Mr.. Hoar
maintained, was found in the declaration of in
dependence, the constitution of the United
States, and, earlier than either, in the magma
charta.
He continued The principal danger which
menaces us to-day is the effort to deny rights
civil and political and perSonal-belonging to
part of the people of the south. These rights the
federal government is bound TO protect. For
seventy years there were but two instances
where there was direct exercise of the national
authority in the interest Of despotism. One was
the fugitive slave law; the other by President
Buchanan, who sought 10 force q pro-slaverv
constitution on Kansas. Both were signal fail
ures, short lived and impotent, which reused the
Indignation OF the nation, bringing about, in the
end, the destruction of slavery
Mr., Whtthorne, member OF the select COM
mittee, argued against the bill. He represented
that the disturbances in the south were of To-
cal character, neither requiring nor iustifying
interference by the federal government, and de-
clared that the people of the south were ami
mated by true and loyal devotion to the
laws as those of any other part of the country
lie condemned the pending bill, as unconsttu-
uonal, revolutionary, and dangerous advance
in the direction of consolidation of power into
one hand, to the destruction of all civil liberty.
MrlWhitthone, in conclusion, earnestly urged
congress to adopt a kind and liberal policy
towards the SOUTH
The speaker announced the following stand
ing committees:
On Accounts-Messrs. BufIlnton, SAWYER Harris
of Mississippi Archer and Lewis
Printing-Messrs Beatty II Roherts and
Price w. anu
After an argument by Mr.. Kelly, in favor of
the bill, Mr. Beck obtained the floor and the
house adjourned.

CONCERT AT BoYLsToN.-M eSSrS. Editors:
Mr.. Arden White, of Worcester, Gle sed his sing
ing school at Boylston, Monday evening, March
%, by an instrumental aud vocal concert of
very high order. By the urbanity of his man.
ner and knowledge Of music, he has not only
secured the confidence, esteem and good will of
his pupils, but his school has been decided sue
cess. And its browning excellence was the very
superior manner in which he managed the pleas
ant entertainment of the evening. Mr. White
was assisted in his concert by Barnard & Rich
ardson's band, MIR. C P. Morrison, organist, and
Mr.. +. Leland on the flute, together with several
distinguished singers from Worcester and ad
joining towns, among whom were Miss NJ. l..
Ingraham, soprano, whose clear and highly
cultivated voice delighted and charmed every
hearer; Miss l.. A. Moore, alto, whose advent here
is always hailed with pleasure; Mr.. H. H. Rich,
tenor, and Mr.. b. Hammond, basso who per-
formed their several parts TO the satilac-
ton and delight of all present. Messrs
Bigelow of Northboro and Rice of West
Boylston, tenors, also added very much TO the
success Of the concert, by joining with the
school. Of the manner in which all performed
the part assigned them, both home and foreign
talent, all present so far as we can learn, united
in speaking in terms of the highest commenda-
ton. The fine music from the band, the organ,
and the piano, united with the harmonious
blending of voices from strangers with the
school, combined to render it one of the pleasant
est and best concerts ever held in a country vii
lage like our owl. The organ used at the con.
cert was kindly furnished by S. r. Leland & Co.,
of Worcester, and was oneof the celebrated Bur
dett organs.
At the close of the concert the school and in
vited guests repaired to the town hall where re-
freshments were provided by the ladies, and a
very pleasant hour was spent in social inter
course with each other. Altogether il was an
event long to be remembered by the school and
its friends in Boylston. That true happiness
may always attend Mr.. White, our teacher, and
the friends who so kindly assisted him at our
concert, is the sincere wish of the whole school.

From Washington.
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE WORCESTER SPY
WASHINGTON, D. c., March 20.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 90.
TEDIOUS DISCUSSION,
The debate in the house on the kuklax is
getting tiIesome, but it is likely 10 run on for
some days yet. Leading democrats say that the
final vote wont be taken before the middle of
next week. They intend to debate the amend
ments which may be offered, They profess to
believe that the military sections of the bill will
be struck out; but they will be mistaken when
the final vote comes, Enough votes have al
ready been coun ted up to carry it through.
THE FATED MEASURE.
The San Domingo commissioners report will
be sent to congress in a few days. Anumber of
congressman are already demanding that it be
disposed of at this session. They argue, with
much plausibility, that the people of San Do
mingo ought to be relieved of their suspense at
once, and that it is political blunder to put the
great controversy over till next winter, Just be-
fore the next presidential campaign opens.
Nobody doubts the fate of the annexation
scheme, if it is urged in congress now. The pres
ident will accompany the report with message.
He is not yet entirely decided whether to ask
action this spring or not. Mr.. Wade urges
disposition of the subject now, but Messrs.
Morton, Chandler, Conkling and others are OPP
posed to it.
THE EVENT OF THE DAY.
The conclusion of Carl Schurz's speech is the
great event of the senate proceedings this after
noon. The galleries were crowded, and the
speech was listened to with intense interest.
The closing paragraphs were very severe upon
the president The personal friends of the lat
ter assert that it was an attempt on the part of
Mr.. Schurz to prevent Grants denomination in
1872. Nobody, however, denies that it was one
of the most powerful speeches ever delivered in
the senate.
MIR. Morton's reply was brief and effective.
Mr.. Harlan was undoubtedly put forward to
abuse both Mr.. Sumner and Mr.. Schurz but he
was failure. The vote on tabling the Sumner
resolutions is no test of the strength of the an
nexaiton scheme, for number of senators who
are opposed to annexation voted to lay them
on the table to cut short the ugly debate.
