Ku.KIux In south Carolina.
Attorney General Chamberlain, ol
South Carolina, has arrived here. He
is the bearer OF letter from Governor
Scott, Of that State making a formal
request for troops to aid in enforcing
the laws. Chamberlain says that ir
some districts of the State it has be
come impossible to serve civil process,
the civil authorities being unable BY
reason Of the Ku-Klux organization TO
enforce the laws. Governor Scott re
quests that regiment OF cavalry may
be sent into the State. Owing to the
peculiar manner in which the ku-KluS
operate, infantry would not be as eff
clent as cavalry. The letter will be pre-
sented to the President TODAY.
The Joint High Commission.
During the session Of the Joint Higl
Commission during the past week tn,
relations Of the two countries to eacl
other has been considered in a genera
way, with a view OF seeing what con
cessions might be made by either side
before any particular point Of disput,
shall be taken up for settlement The
impression which prevailed at first that
England was prepared to offer the olive
branch, and that the mere quibbleI
would be discarded for a candid and
frank avowal of the wrongs committed
and the damages TO be adjusted, ha
given place to fear that England is not
disposed TO make any magnanimous
concessions, and that if any arrange
ment is entered into for settlement O.
the pending questions it must be on the
basis of an equivalent. The Commits.
sioners seem to incline rather to the
plan OF purchasing the right of ouI
fishermen to fish freely in Canadian
waters without restriction. That is
looked upon as an easy mode of settle
ment. On the other hand, there is q
certain popular sentiment against com
mencing the adjustment OF our differ
ences with England by our agreeing to
pay England in land or money. 1t is
said that neither the revival of tn.
reciprocity treaty nor the payment Of
any considerable sum for the right to
fish forever in Canadian waters will b.
popular with our people. 1t is hoped
however, that the Commission, after
thorough consideration of the subject
may arrive at some solution which win
be mutually satisfactory.

The Southern Democrats, after con.
sullation, have agreed not to issue an

cratic associates in the House, and will

of the party. |
