In the Senate, to-day, Mr.. Blair submitted
letter from Hon. Reverdy johnson denying
the statement made by Mr.. Edmunds in the Sen
ate that he (MrJ ohnSon) and Mr.. Stanbery, who
went to Columbia, s. G., to defend the accus-
ed in the Ku-Klux trials had become so dis
gusted by the Ku-Klux outrages that they had
abandoned the cases. They had done all they
went there for. They raised the question OF
the constitutionality OF the law in shape TOR
presentation to the Supreme Court and then
came away.
Mr.. Edmunds said that he had used the
word abandoned, but perhaps Mr.. johnson
preferred that he shonld have used the phrase
ology of an officer who commanded the Amer-
can troops at Badensburg who abandoned the
capital and said his troops seemed to feel no IN
terest in the fight and went away. Laughter. !
The gentlemen having raised the legal question
may not have abandoned but they lost inter
est and went away
MIR. Blair responded that these gentlemen
had argued tn. case in the Supreme Court on
the 10th of March.
The subject was then dropped.
After the presentation of some memorials

BILL was resumed.
