The Ku-KIux Debate

The House resumed consideration of
the Ku Klux bill. 1t was agreed that gen
eral debate shall continue today and to-
morrow, with evening sessions, and We'd
nesday forenoon the House to consider the
bill under the ten minutes rule, and the
amendments TO be decided as in commit
tee of the whole.
Mr.. Shanks, of Indiana, said the late
war had decided that the national Gov
ernment was superior to State govern-
ments. The design of the opponents of
this bill was to get control of the South
ern States for political purposes.
Mr.. Buckley, of Alabama, said hund
dreds of thousands of peaceable citizens
of Alabama would welcome any measure
tending to bring peace and order out of
lawlessness and relieve them from ter
rible apprehensions of injury to persons
and property.
Mr.. Kinsella, of New York, thought
the people of the South should be left to
manage their own affairs.
Mr.. Van Trump argued especially
against that portion of the bill proposing
to suspend the privilege of the writ Of
haoeas corpus at lhe pleasure OF the
President.
Mr.. Ellis, of New York, said if, as
Jeff Davis had just proclaimed at Selma,
State sovereignty is 10 triumph, the Empire
State demands protection for her citizens
maltreated in Alabama and Virginia, and
claims the aid of the National Govern
ment for that purpose.

Mr.. Bright approved the bill.
The House took a recess.
At the evening session Messrs Duke, of

spoke against the bill, and Mckee, of

One Hundred snd Seventy Persons
Killed by Negroes within Two
Years.
MEMPHIS, April 2.-The Appeals Jack
son Miss, special says:
"Perfect order and quiet reign through
out the State. Disorders have only Oc-
CURED in three or four counties along the
Alabama line, and there people were fear:
fully plundered by the School Tax Com
missioners, who robbed them without
mercy. No Federal officer has ever en-
countered resistance or indignity in the
discharge of his official duties. All of
them held State as well as Federal offices,
and in the latter capacity, they have met
resistance as stated.
'In two years, in all sorts of riots and
rows, about one hundred and seventy peo-
pie have been killed by negroes in Miasis-
sippi. The Governor will publish list
of these accidents and incidents in few
DAYS. He has before him accurate tables
of statistics of Mississippi murders.
When the amiable Ames reads them, he
will confess thst he has been duped by
living scoundrels who furnished the facts
on which he (Ames) based his absurd lit
tie speech few days ago in the Uuited
States Senate"
