WASHINGTON, August 31.-The Treasury
Department announces the absorption,
through the agency of Jay Cooke a. Co., of
two hundred millions of five per cent bonds.
The Secretary of the Treasury VIII to-
morrow announce his readiness to pay oif
in gold the first series of two hundred mil-
lion 1862s and twenty million registered
bonds of the same issue.
After the first day of December the IN
terest on the above bonds ceases.
Douglas has modified Pleasonton's order
forbidding revenue officers leaving their
respective districts, and to allow detectives
to enter other districts where their presence
will benefit the service.
Senator Scott, chairman of the Ku-K1ux
committee, has had an interview with the
President and submitted communication,
which was fully discussed IN the interview =,
setting forth briefly the number of acts of TN
lawful violence that have been perpeTafed
within the past few months in various coun-
ties in South Carolina, and notably In Spar
tanburg and York, fer which no one had
been punished by the civil authorities, dis
closed by the Investigations of the sub com
mittee In their recent visit to those local
tiles; also, the fact that Senator Scott had
there notified prominent citizens that If thsee
acts of violence by disguised men con-
tinued, and especially If Witnesses who
were examined By the committee were sub
sequently outraged, he would cali the Pres
idents attention to the facts, and recon-
mend that he exercise the powers conferred
by the Ku-klux act. He submitted to the
President various communications, al1ida,
Wits, etc., showing that since the return OF
the committee, and in spite of the efforts of
leading citizens, who, upon his suggestion.
had made strong efforts, by speech and.
otherwise to control and check lawlessness,
the outrages had continued to go on undir
minished, while the perpetrators are I'M
punished.
He suggested to the President the. pro-
priety of issuing proclamation under the
Ku-Klux act preliminary to a declaration
of martial law in York and Spartanburg
counties, and that under the third section of
the act, instruction be issued to the military
commanders in the adjoining counties, to
arrest parties without process, and turn
them over to the civil authorities for proa-
ecution. The President agreed to the sug-
gestion, and proclamation preliminary to
a declaration of martial law may soon be
expected.
