WASHINGTON, Jan. 0.
SENATE.

|
Mr.. Scott made special report from
the Joint Ku-klux committee, involving
question of privilege He said that the
committee, investigating the affairs OF
Arkansas, had found that ku klux out.
RACES weye alleged to have occurred in
that State For more than two years, but
incidentally testimony had been given by
two witnesses from Arkansas, named
Wheeler and Whipple, duplicating one
of the senators from that State, Mr..
Clayton, aud member of the House,
Mr.. Edwards, which evidence the COM
mttee laid before the Senate so that the
senators implicated might move for an
Investigation The testimony charges
that Mr.. Clayton, when Governor, made
bargain with the Democratic members
of the Legislature to disregard the rogu
lar returns OF election for n member of
Congress in the district now represented
by Mr.. Edwards, and give Mr., Edwards
a certificate OF election, although Mr.
BoIcs was really elected That the con
sideration for this was promise of the
Democrats to vote for him for United
States Senator, Mr.. Scott said that if
the charges were found true, it would be
the duty OF the Senatet to consider wheth-
er the Senator from Arkansas was TT
person 70 holi seat in the Senate, and
that if they were untrue. the senator was
entitled to have them investigated and
himself exoneratcd.
Mr.. Claytou-l suppose, under the
rules, this report would have to lie over
one day7
Vice Prcsident--It would, sir.
Mr. Clayton--Thcn, sir, as | am the
senator impeached, and as | do not de
sire to lie under this imputation one day
longer than can possibly be avoided, |
ask unanimous consent to proceed at
once to the consideration OF the report
No objection was made, and Mr.. Clay
ton read long address reviewing the
evidence OF Wheeler and Whipple, and
yil4dicating his own acts as Governor.
He described Wheeler as foreman of the
United States grand jury which was a
mere political machine: and Whipp.e, the
United States attorney, rs mere facto
tum, who moved only as others pulled
the wires. He said that these charges,
as well MS his indictment by the grand
jury, were made rs part OF q systematic
persccntion. to which he had been sub
iccted by his enemies
At the expiration Of the morning hour
the amnesty bill came up, but it was ma lie
a special order for Monday next.
Mr. Clayton continued his remarks, and
in conclusion he asked the Senate to sp-
point special committee to investigate
the charges against him.
On motion OF Mr. Wright 4 resolution
was adopted to refer the matter to q
special committee Of three, with power
to send for persons and papers, to report
upon the charges az inst Mr. Clayton.

Mr. Poland, from the select committee
on the lusurrectionary States, made re-
port stating that testimony has been ta-
ken before the sub committee, which i'm
peaehed the official character and conduct
OF SENATOR CLAYTON,
of Arkansas, and affected the right to a
scat rs representative of Mr.. Edwards, of
Arkansas, and that resolution had been

The Democratic State Central Com
mittee of Illinois had business meeting
in this city on Monday. During an III
terohange Of opinions on the various po-
litcal questions before the country, al
though no political action was had, the
committee was unanimous in its indorse
ment of Missouri's politics. AS. far as
views were expressed, there was but one
opinion as to the necessity and duty Of
honest men of all parties-sustalnlng all
men of whatsoever party in turning out
thieves from all places of public trust,
and to make another effort TO save re-

the GOODNESS and fortitudc which he dis
PLAYED when first shot. At s O'Clock
there was little change; at half-past

10 DO honorable Mayor and Councilof ht
CITY Of Rheeliag:
Bya resolution Of Council adopted
June 8, 1872, the City Solicitor and A,
Wilson, or either or both Of them, were
authorized 10 proceed TO Baltimore and
Richmond and receive the amount Of
paid coupons Of bonds Issued by the CITY
Of Wheeling In payment Of ih subscrip.
ton TO the capital stock Of the Baltimore
d Ohio railroad, held by the State Of Wiz.
ginia; also, TO receive q certified state.
ment from the Board Of Public Works,
Of the bonds received and cancelled BY
the said State since the settlement made
by Robt Crangle; and also, to ascertain
what coupons belonging to said bonds,
and the number, II any, are held by Hen.
ry NJ. Warfield & Co., or Fisher & Sons,
and report the same 10 council.
The City Solicitor having performed
the duty assigned him, and having placed
the information obtained by him before
your Committee on Finance, at his request
they respectfully report:
II appears from evidence which will
accompany this report that the coupons
Of the bonds issued by the city OF Wheel.
ing In payment other subscription TO the
stock OF the BALTIC. & Ohio r. r. Co.
have been paid regularly atmaturity, and
cancelled by Fisher & Sons, Baltimore,
assignees Of Henry N. Warfeld & %.
Owing, however, to their misunder.
standing Of the terms Of the contract re.
ierred TO, and to the requirement of the
Board OF Public Works Of the State of
Virginia which demanded that the can.
celled coupons should be presented with
the bonds as condition precedent TO the
release Of stock, Messrs. Fisher & Sons
have returned the coupons as they were
redeemed and cancelled TO the Office OF
tho Board of Public Works OF Virginia,
instead OF sending them to the city OF
Wheeling as provided in the contract.
We present as o part Of this report
certified statement made by the Board OF
Public Works Of Virginia, showing the
redemption and burning of bonds and cou.

rest Of A. D. Boon, charged with firing a
pistol at Mrs, Frank Walters, and that his
examination was postponed until yester.

ance before Judge Johnston, and was per.
mitted to return home. Yesterday after.
noon he was on hand promptly, and the
examination was begun and concluded.
Several witnesses testified for the State
and one or more for the accused. After
hearing the testimony, Judge j. deemed II
a case that should be investigated by the
Circuit Court, and accordingly held the
defendant to bail in one thousand dollars
for his appearance before that tribunal at
the October term. Boon furnished the re.
quired security and was released from
custody,
