What Congress is Doing. "Washington, March 14. The House proceedings yesterday inlicated a majority of thirty revenue iHcer^. A private letter from the President .j Speaker Blaine was read in a Hepubican caucus last night, in which the I President does not venture to rocom-1 uend any course for the Republicans to mrsue, but suggests that some kind of neasure be adopted for the protection >f Southern loyalists, Without going in:o further legislation.

Beck introduced the amnesty bill to- j Jay in the House, and Farnsworth sup- ( ported it in earnest speech. The Senate confirmed the recently f nominated commissioners upon loyal claims. ] The outrage committee reported in | summing up that Ku Klux does exist, . and is composed of the members of the Democratic or Conservative jwrty. That I .t has a political purpose, and sought to j I jarry its purposes by murders, whip- j i pings, intimidation and violence against , .ts opponents. That it binds its members to carry out the decrees of crime, md protects them against conviction. c The minority report is also quite long, ( md concludes as follows: . 1 The number of these outrages, detesta- f ole and wicked as they are, is never- . hnlpss crosslv and wildlv exaggerated, ind this no one can doubt wfio will : xamine the testimony, and who has I "lad any knowledge of the credulity and j inaccuracy of the statements character- g istic. of our well-meaning colored people. North Carolina is -one of the largest c States, territorially, in the Uulon, and < is divided info S7 counties, and contains c uearly 1,500,000 people. No acts of law- j lessness have been committed, except- L .ng in one or the other of six or perhaps ,, eight of these counties, and yet it is I: jroposod to employ violent and strin- I ^ent measures of coercion and repres- c -ion in the remaining nine-tenths of a ! State against which no breath of evi- 'J lence or proof of lawlessness has ever f neen adduced, but which, on the con- ^ rary?exhibits a condition of quiet al- 1: most suggesting the insensibility of j v 1 !e*pair. What cause can be alleged ;! r what gratification to the American peo-1 q pie cull DC urgeu ior mis reiieweu auu .vanton invasion of a peaceful. comma-1a :iity ? The statement that anarchy there | b exists, is absurdly untrue, and the tes- A litnony now laid before the Senate ovecriij; whelming]}-establishes its untruth. II ' aggressive laws are to be enacted, let'j" all the disguise be cast off. and the true!Cl reason be avowed. It will not be less f< violent or wrong, but it will- be less I lypoeritical, and more manly to any y .'air minded mind. We confidently jommit the proofs contained in the ~ estlmony now presented by the com- Cl mitteor and aver i^ia^ in the, f&e of p mch wrongs as lrave been inflicted upon ]j our unfortunate and crushed people by ^ the rulers placed over them, not by their own consent, but by the exorcise of a Jespofie powers by the-Congress' of the J lTnited States,' 110 example of equal pi | submissivene?8 and patient endurance [) can be found in history as is now pre- ? -ented by the people of the State of Xorth Carolina. This is the truth in ^ a nutshell. Holden and his official I supporters nave iaueu w maintain mem- p selves by any means, foul as well as :i Tair, in their own State. They have appealed to popular elections and have . ueen rejected with something near to 11 unanimity by every taxpayer in the State. Now, Congress is asked to step in and force North Carolina down again under the feet of her Radical masters; and we fear that Congress will attempt .o do this unwise and wicked thing. c Will the people of the North, free as f( yet, see this tiling done, and sustain its promoters? We hope not?we pray not. | When will the men in power luarn the rruth of what the great statesman of j.1 >ur century said so wisely and well, '' .vhen similar attempts were made to e govern British India. It is the nature 0 ,>f tyranny and rapacity never to learn j, moderation from the ill success of first oppressions. On the contrary, all men, 0 Junking simply ol' the methods dicta- v .edby their nature, attribute the l'rus- s ration of their desires to the want of v -ufficient vigor. Then they redouble .he efibrts of their impatient cruelty " which, producing, as they must produce, ' netv disappointments, they become irri- b uted against the objects of their rapac- b ity. From cruel men they are trans- v .'orracd into savage beasts, with .no other vestiges of reasen left but what a >erve to furnish the incentives "and s refinements of ferocious subtlety for t purposes of which beasts are incapable, |j ind at which fiends would blush. ..

Ginnery Twitch* j eH, another Massaclmsetts mcmboiy who had been unlucky in drawfog a seat, seeing the success of Butler witb ono of the negroes, concluded he would try a similar game with the other. He immediately started for Rainey, the other lucky, colored t brother from Soutn Carolina, and J asked him if he had any objections to tako a seat a little further back. Rainey was a member of the last ? House, and coming in late in thp t sesbioh, had been assigned a back seat. 5 Unlike DeLarge, be had had somo\ experience, and ho had no disposition i to repeat it.

Editor National Republican: The attention of. the public is respectfully and earnestly called to the following facts and questions: A man named Mackey, not a resident of this place, arrested Mr. Bowen, of South Carolina, on a charge of bigamy. The United States district attorney, Fisher, required and insisted upon a bail of $5000 in real estate. Mackey was himself arrested within . the same day, on the charge of suborning witnesses, upon tho affidavit of cno George M. Smith, and was released on his own recognizance in 1 the sum of $1000. Last Friday was set forithc investigation of these.1 charged against the said Mackey, and when Mr. Smith and the other witnesses appeared, they \7er0 informed .] that Mackey was in Georgia getting 1 witnesses to appear against Mr. Bow- 1 en in iviarcn. i I desire to know if tho district at- ] torney is appointed to expound and I enforce the law, or if he has tho libarty to use it as it suits his interests?

The lard is exactly the same quality, and in U e same geld, being a very poor sandy soil with stiff clay subsoil. I used one sack (200 "pounds( of Etiwan, No. 2, per acre. The oottoji was all worked alike. I will gather at least 500 pounds of ootton per acre 6t the lanxt ana guauo was used upon, and am confident I will not get more than 130 pounds per acre off .that without any fertiliser. I do not consider the guano fairly tested on account of the drouth. Respectfully, j. b. snrrsox.
