Especial Telegrnphic Correspondence of the
CoGrier-Journal.
WASHINGTON, April 6.-The House
finally reached vote to-day, ;f-er
protracted session, OH the bill to sup
press the Kuklux, and passed it by a
strict party vote. VIII lie the original
measure was materially modified the
che that passed nevertheless proves-to
be most stringent orc. 1t provides
for the suppression of the writ of ha-
beas corpus, and empowers the Presi-
dent to use the regular army to arrest
offenders and hand them over to the
United States Marshall. The pr0vis-
ion which empowered the President
to call out volunteers was stricken out
by the united vote OF the Democrats
and some twenty-five Republicans
The bill, therefore, rs it passed and
was sent to the Senate, may be sunni
med up as follows: First-COnspira-
cies, or the combination of two or
more persons to deprive any class OF
persons of equal protection of the
laws, are defined as felOnies, punisha-
ble in the United States Court by fine
and imprisonment, while the injured
parties have recOurye there's for DANA
yes. Second-In the case of ObstIuc-
ton to the laws of State, or the Uni
ted States, so as to deprive any person
of any privilege, Immunity, &C., and
the State authorities are unable or fail
to afford protection, or to apply to the
President for protection, the President
NAV use the National forces, thereby
meaning, it is believed, the militia, as
the army, to arrest any offenders and
hand them over TO the United States
Courts, was the act of siXty-tnree as re-
vived, which requires the military to
hand list of imprisoned persons to
the United States Courts. and then If
the term adjourns, and no indictment
is found. all such are TO be discharged.
Third-After proclamation, the Presi-
dent may suspend the writ of habeas
corpus till the first of June, 1872,
whenever and wherever he finds nu-
merous unlawful combinations
Fourth-The iron clad or test oath for
Jurors in United States Courts is abol-
ished, but the judges may exact an
oath of a juror that he has never be-
longed to the ku klux. 1t is the in
tention of the Senate to act at once on
the bill. There were some close votes
on the amendments; one to strike out
the habeas corpus suspension was on
ly lost by three votes, and was carried
by wsak Republicans changing their
votes at the very last moment.
