Tho party was large and brilliant, and every thing passed oft' harmoniously unti: abouti o'clock io tho morning, when an event oc curred which changed thc merry making in to gloom, and suddenly put an end to thc carnival. Tho party had just returned from tho midnight feast in thc banqueting hall. A waltz was struck up by the band and dun oing was resumed. Among the participant? wns a gentleman, a prominent member of thc organization, under whoso auspices tho ball was given, named Jacob Moritz, who resided at Williamsburg.

I . "~ Raid on Douglas' Store. On Thursday night lust n "raid'' was made on tho stoic ol' Mr. Thom tia Douglas, situated on tho Thorn's Ferry road, about uino miles from York ville. So tar as wo have bocu able to learn, tho facts aro about as lullows : Near ll o'clock, u clerk-Mr. S. P. Hutch, inson-in thc employ ol' Mr. Douglas, and who was sleeping in thc stoic, was awakened by thc discharge ol' lire arms. Almost imme diately a demand was made upon him fur cn trance, by those outside, accompanied by a threat that if tho dornend was not acceded to within two minutes, ho would bo killed and the building tired. Coupled with thc throat, was tho condition that if thc demand were complied with, ho would bo permitted to douait unbanned. Tho clerk, Bltlibfiod that ho was unable to contend with thc at tacking parly, donned his clot bing, scoured a portion of tho cash on band, and left by tho rear of thc building, locking tho door be hind hun. On safely roaching thc outside of thc house, ho discovered three men stand ing near ; though they did not attempt to molest him, and ho hastened to thc residence of Dr. Hioklin, half a mile distant, and thence communicated with others in thc neighbor hood, who returned with him to thc store. The door was found tube ajar, it having been forced open during thc absence of thc ol erk On entering the store, it was ascertained that molloy, shoes, cloth goods, and shot, to the aggregate value of ono hundred nod twenty iivo dollars had boon carried away^?? Subsequently, a clew having been obtniti ed us to thc probable perpetrators of tho out rage and rubbery, a number of the citizens in thc vicinity determined to search I'ur thc stolen goods, and, if possible, detect thc per pctrators. On examining the building, which isa log structure, it was lound that it had been struck in several places, by tho shots fired against it, and that the missiles u.>cd were minn ir balts made of pewter Sevoral of these balls were extracted from thc wood in which they were embedded, and being very hard, were found to bo but slightly bruised. Tho fi.ct that the balls wore outdo of pewter at once aroused suspicions as to who were the robbers Tho grounds around tho building wore carefully examined, and as no tracks of bur sos could bo found, it was .satisfactorily con eluded that thc party was not indUtitod. A short dist.moo from tho house a bill of money was found, which had boon dropped by one of thc gang, and which had been taken from thc store, tho clerk, in his busto, f illing tu secure all tho money cunt.lined in tho draw er. This fact indicating the direction thc robbers had taken oa leaving the store, in doced those in pursuit to follow tho trail, nm] proceeding ?bout forty yards from the bouse, they f mud in a clump of pines ti w/.>/.\ which was supposed to have been dropped by ont of thc robbers.

In thc Senate, Sumner occupied all the day. Ile sums up and thus stands the ease : "International law has been violated in two of ils commanding rules j one securing tho equality of nations and tho other provi ding against belligerent intervention. While a distintivo fundamental principle of the con stitution, by which the President is deprived ol' a kingly prerogative is disregarded, and tliis very kingly prerogative is asserted by thu President.

If such a transaction, many-he ided in wrong, can . scape judgment, it is difficult to sec what security remains; what other sacred rule of international law may not be violated ; what other foreign nation may not bo struck at; what other belligerent menace may not be hurled; whit other kingly prorogative may not bo seized upon ?" In tho course of his speech, enlarging upon tho declaration, that the President had ph?ccd himself at tho beul of moro powerful and costly Ku Klux, than those of thc south; bo proceeded : "Had tin: President been to inspired, as to bestow on the Southern Unionists, white and black, om half the time in /.eal, with personal attention, personal effort and personal intercession,which he has bestowed upon bis attempt to obtain half an island in thc Camboon Sea, our Southern Ku Klux would have existed in natnO only, while tranquility would have rei .>.rn d everywhere within our borders." fGu.iorul ?pp?uuMi in thogallories and binaos J Thc Vice President.
