10 quite numerous, are eBdsayOring to populariie

uHrsR DIscusstoE--TaE ROUSE xuKLux
BILL, 90. m s
Especial dispatch to ths Baltimore SUM-
WASHINGTON, March 2S..-The debate OF,
the San Domingo project was renewed to-
day, In the presence of crowded galleries,
In the most spirited manner. Mr.. Schurz
took the floor In 81 czech Of remarkable
force, keen and brilliant in the statement Of
its points. and damaging as 10 facts In his
charges that the President had usurped
the powers Of war in orders to the naval
authorities to menace Hayti, and to protect
BaeZ from a revolution in San Domingo.
Mr.. Morton, on behalf of the President,
denied that any orders had ever been gwen
TO our naval authorities to sustain Baez in
his position, but Mir. Schurz read from off,
cial documents to show that one Of the
United States gunboats had not only trans
ported munitions Of war for Baez, but had
landed troops to protect him, and this, too,
since the Senate had rejected the treaty Of
annexation last summer. These home
thruSts cOnvulsed the galleries with merri.
ment, and produced a good many eXhibi-
lions OF bad temper on the part Of the ad-
minlstration Senators. A joint resolution
Tor annexation it is not believed now could
get forty votes in both Houses.
There does not seem to be any doubt,
from the way the lines are drawn, that the
kukluN bill will pass early next week by
substantially Darty vote. 1t will then be
sent to the Senate, where it will also be
elaborately debated.
Adyices received here from Connecticut
indicate that the Democrats will reflect
their Governor, and secure three out of the
four CongreSsmen-Dusslblv the fourth A
gain OF two, however, is quite certain.

The BLACK MILITIA-Brutul Attack upon
Jro White Aen-Bayonets and Br7ckbatS-
4 Narro,o Escdpe.-A brutal attack, wholly
without provOcation, was made upon Driver
Davis and Conductor Toomer, Of King
street car No. l, at about s O'Clock last
night. The offenders were company OF
negro militia, armed to the teeth with I'M
proved rifles and fixed bayonets.
1t appears that car No. was going up
King street, when it overlook the company
of negro militiamen, who Were marching on
the track. The car halted three times to
allow the black guard to get out OF the
way, and the ear being then behind time
the conductor rang the bell for the driver to
20 ahead. Instantly the militiamen, curSing
like demons, surrounded the cur, brandish-
ING their weapons over the head OF the
driver. One squad seized the horse and
dragged it to the side of the car. The driver
stood TO his post, and was then struck
over the hand with dubbed rifle. This
blow cut the hand badly and disabled the
driver. The conductor ran to his assistance
and helped him into the car. Now the mi
htamen turned upon the conductor, and
struck him heavily upon tue shoulder.
Those Of the militia who could not reach
the car with their bayonels then opened IN
active tire with brickbats. With these mis-
SKIES some Of the car windows were smash
Cd To pieces. The militia were now tho
roughly aroused, but were toned down by
an officer of the police. His arrival saved
The conductor and driver from worse vio-
lence and the car from destruction. As soon
~ the road was clear the conductor and
driver went on to the upper guard-bouse,
where they lodged their complaint. We are
not advised, however, OF the names of the
rioters, or OF the company to which they
belong. a..r.. I'll,
This incident shows what the whites have
to expect, when the armed mihtiamen, at
htty to one, attack unarmed citizens. These
negroes are not tit to be trusted with deadly
weapons; but tue devil must be fought
with fite, and if the blacks are not disarm-
ca, the whites must arm at once. That is
the long and short of it.-Charieston Nesns,
