the city has been paved all over with 1t. The

The man who caused the bill to be drawn is

marble for such building, except at an enor-

ULYSSES THE FIRST.

IN the United States Senate on Tuesday, In
discussing Summers resolutions, Senator
Schurz said
Ifit was proven that orders had been issued
to our naval commanders In gross violation OF
the constitution. then something more than
mere rhetorical dourishes about General
Grants services, or about the Secretaries of
Slate and Navy, would be required to answer
the proof Schurz proceeded to argue that un-
der the constitutional clause vesling In Con-
gress the war-makfng power, the Executive
could not commit an act Of war unless In
case of actual invasion of the territory OF
the United States, or by express Congress
sional authority. The Instructions Of the
President to our naval forces, directing them
in certain contingencies to fire upon the
vessels OF Hayti, a. power with which We are
at peace, was most clearly usurpation of
war-making power. In reply to inquiries by
Howe and Stewart, as to whether diseretlona-
ry power was not vested In the President,
Schurz added that If those senators would
turn to the debates Of the Senate In February,
1859, they would find that President Buchanan
had asked for discretionary power to protect
our citizens in transit over the Isthmus of
Panama, and the Senate had indignantly re-
fused it. It was most audacious to contend,
for that was the logic of it, that the President
had the power to steal the war-making power
from Congress. The fact was that President
Grant had fallen into the mistake Of suppos-
Ing he was the United States OF America. 1t
smacked very strongly of what was called In
France personal government.

COLUMBIA, March %.
The news from spsrtanburg by last nights
train hardly bears out the blood and thunder
ous sensation of the Radical press. A letter
received from there states that Mr.. Winsmith
is not seriously wounded, although hit FIVE or
six times. The authors of the outrage do not
appear to have been recognized, although 1t
is surmised that probably two of them were
badly, If not fatally, wounded.
Three companies mot four) Of cavalry ar
rived here on Sunday. They come from the
West. Others-lumor says four companies
are daily expected by rail- from the Plains.
There were here, before this last arrival,
two companies and two fractions OF companies
of infantry. The ranking officer is Major Van
.derhorst. Major Black is expected to take his
'pectng 10 be moved up the country very soon.
Whatever may have been the expectation of
those who sent these soldiers to US, 1t is now
quite manifest that they are not going to pro-
tect and encourage lawless negroes, militia or
otherwise, to the detriment of the whites.
They are likely to apply power where 1t Is
mainly needed-in suppressing our lawless
negro militia, who thus far have caused most
if not all the disturbances and ''outrages" In
South Carolina. And some OF these soldiers do
not hesitate TO say that the negro militia was
gotten up for the manufacture of ''outrages." !"
Poor Cuf1ee's defenders seem likely about to
prove Tartars to him.

rFROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENCE
WASHINGTON, March 27.
If even any idea existed that reconciliation
could be effected between the administration
and the ex-chairman Of the; committee Oh
foreign relations, there issnow 40 shadow oft
left. The elaborate speech of Simmer, to-day
has dissipated the faintest hope that his voice
will ever be lifted again In the support of
President Grant or his party. In consequence
of that fact, the senator will be formally s'read
out" OF the Radical organization, and we shall
see that the administration men In the Senate
will hereafter refuse him any consideration.
This result of the position taken by the sena-
tor from Massachusetts had not been over
looked by him when engaged In the prepara'
ton of the arraignment against the San Do
mingo scheme he presented to-day. He count
ed well the cost, and has chosen to accept it.
The meaning is war, and the champions Of the
Executive have already sounded the charge.
Senator Howe, of wisconsin, who has been,
next >to Senators Morton and Conkling, the
firm apologist for the removal OF Sumner from
his late committee chairmanshlp, commenced
speech this afternoon thoroughly indicative
OF the QeCermlQ8LlOu VI jig icouihS uiou Va hiS
party, in the Senate, to allow sumner no foot
hold within Its limits. They expect to be sus-
tanned throughout the country, so far as their
own organization exists. Howe, In his re-
marks. teok occasion to alude to Chase and
Seward as having forfeited their rights to be
considered Republicans In good standing. and
placed Sumner third In that category. Sena,;
tor Conkling will undoubtedly enter upon tne
discussion thus ommenced-uniess for palpa-
BILE reasons the administration should con-
clude to suppress the earnest oeoa1e WHICH
now appears inevitable.
: Carl Schurz-a power among the German
Radicals In the Northwest-wlll espouse the
cause OF Mr.. Sumner. He, on the Radical side
of the Senate, Is its most potent de0ater, anu
it Is not to be doubted that If the opportunity

OF the scene at the Capitol to-day, it may be
said that. excepting that the representation OF
people from all parts OF the Soutn was lacking,
1t resembled the days Immediately previous 10
the secession of the Southern States. Ine
crowds were quite as numerous, though the
sentiments animating them were as diferent

TO THE EDITOR oFTHEENEWs.
In the article printed In your paper of yester-
day, showed that, hthepeople refuse to pay
taxes, the government cannot collect them.
At the worst the negro government could only
buy in and hold the property exposed tor sale,
There could be concert of aetfon an the part OF
the people, and the negro administration
would at once beatrlpped Of its only strength
the power of; ;wringing money from the proper
ty-holders of the State. a.s.
The only reluctance to the acceptance OF this
measure with any portion of the white people
of the State, will be in tee fact thatitis an ac-
ceptance of the reconstruction policy. There
are getsome who feel that policy to have been
an outrage; that it was not within the pro-
vince of Congress to determine the rights OF
people within the States, nor the Office Of the
general governments to put the negro upon
the footing of white people. That feeling ling
ers, out, however just, it must be remembered
that We act upon facts accomplished. The ne
gro. in this State Is fact. His right to the
elective franchise is fact 1t is left for US
simply to take these facts and make the most

these conditions, giving the State the best con-
stitution 1t can have In consistence with them,
and then making the most of it Without
that, we must quit the State or undertake the
task of driving the negro out Of 1t. Neither,
I think, is possible. No people as large as
this in body, can emigrate. II left to our
selves, contest of extinction with the negroes
would be improbable, to say the least OF 1t.
With the necessary Intervention Of the general
government, it would not only be unprofta-
ble;. but disastrous. There is, in my Judgment
nothing left but to put the restriction neees-
sary to the protection Of property upon the
elective franchise in this State, and move on
with it. That, however, may not be done
without the measure propose. Nothing will
bring the negroes to admit the, qualification
of'the elective franchise proper to allow the
white people a just participation in the gov
ernment but their liability to carry 1t on with
out them. That: inability we demonstrate,
and the refusal to pay taxes, therefore, and
the necessary locking of the wheels Of this
negro government, is the thing now 10 be
done. Iii
think it had better be done at once. There,
is, perhaps, difference of opinion upon this
subject Gentlemen hitherto acting, and
wisely, for the white people Of the State, have,
I think, considered that this issue shall be
made at later period. My conviction Is that
it should be made now. We lose SO much
money as shall be paid to taxes. They get 1t,
and it supports them In the contest. We want
at once the economies that will then result TO
the administration Of our State, city and coun-
ty governments. Now the offices are parcelled
