COLOMBIA, February 8.
RECONSTRUCTION A FAILURE-A LIVE LT SCENE.
The ten days for which the resolution, "to
call on the United States Government for pro
tion against domestic violence" was postpon?
ed, (when last before the Se^e, ) having ex?
pired, the matter was called up and forced to
a vote by its friends. leslie wanted the con?
sideration postponed for ten days, and made ? |
motion to that effect. In support thereof, he
said that measures of such magnitude should
not be urged, unless parties urging them had
good reasons therefor. It involved the open
admission that reconstructed South Carolina is
unable to protect itself.
S wails thought sufficient reasons had been
given ten days ago, and if he (Leslie) desired
furtherreasons let him look at the deeds ol
bloodshed dally chronicled in the newspapers.
Rose said he was not prepared for the reso?
lution. He had been in York, where the
prominent citizens had pledged themselves to
i&ep down disturbance. He wanted to give
them a trial. :
Leslie said that none but the weakest rea?
sons had been offered lor the passage of the
resolution, which was an open declaration of |
"ground arms." He! old that they were not
ready for that yet, and that there was still
men enough in the State who thought enough
ot Juslce to uphold the law. The proper
remedy would be to drive out these hordes of
robbers who impair the credit of the State,
and Ut the government, which has steered
wide of the mark of honesty, do right, and
there will be order and prosperity.
Nash insisted that something must be done
for the protection of life and property. Since
' the last discussion on this subject, men had
been whipped and driven from their homes.
Here he cited the case of a man from York
who had been whipped last Friday.
Rose replied that the party referred to was
a worthless creature, who deserved whipping.
Nash, In continuing his remarks, alluded to
the presence of Federal bayonets in New York,
at the late election and daring the drait-riot.
Leslie rose to a question cf privilege, ant
ably defended the people of New York, who,
he declared, never at any time astfed for Fede?
ral aid. After some further remarks, the ques?
tion on the motion to postpone was put and
decided in the negative.
In the discussion on the passage of the reso
tion which then followed, Leslie cut right and
ielt. sparing no one. He held the General
Assembly and Governor Scott responsible for
the outrages committed. The first, by passing
an election law to defraud the people out of a
fair election, and a militia law, which has
cost the State $90,000, lor political purposes;
and the la-it, by allowing his militia to run
over the upper counties under such men as
Joe Crews, that "wicked Joe Crews," who
has refused to testify, on tbe plea that he
might criminate himself. Wlmbush: "Say
EKnething about the land commission."
Leslie: "You should be the last man to speak 1'
thereof." (Ihe knowing ones laughed.) Leslie
then continued,' and gave many good and (
sound reasons why the resolution should not 1
be adopted. He wanted the Ku-Klux to kill 1
sncb men as Comptroller-general Neagle, 1
Crews and others of the 'same tribe who had
brought trouble on the poor colored peopf?,
and then left them to bear the brunt "Let <
them (the Ku-Klux) come down here where the !
head devils are. He concluded: "Act right ;
yourselves, keep the credit of the State in?
tact, and then it the wild men of both parties
don't behave, we will call out the moderau ?
and good men and beat them down."
Whlttemore made an able partisan sreech in j
lav or of the resolution. After some few scat- {
tering remarks by other senators, the resolu?
tion wa? put to a vote, and adopted by 15 to 8,
Leslie and ROBO voting with the Reform mern- ,
bers against it 1
JOE CREWS ON THE STAND.
Joe Crew? was arrested last evening by the
sergeant-at-arms, and brought before the in?
vestigating committee to testify as to his share
in the $17,500 transaction. He declined to
make a written statement, but said he would I ?
answer all questions that would not criminate | (
bim. To the question whether he bad retain?
ed Dunbar as attorney, he said he had. The I "
questions whether Dunbar or himself had
drawn the $7500 he declined to answer.
Q. (By Mr. Foster.) Was the warrant
drawn to the order'of Mr. Dubbar paid to him ?
A. Witness declines to answer.
Q. (By Ur. Nash.) Waa not one of his
orders, dated on the 27th of February, paid In
September ? N
1. Witness does not recollect: witness does
not conceive that he has a right to think
whether Mr. Dunbar's services were worth
seven thousand five hundred dollars or not;
declines to put a value on such services; the
??oks will show by whom the money was
drawn.
Q. Was more money drawn than was neces?
sary to pay tbe per diem, mileage, stationery
account, Ac. ?
A. There were more certificates drawn
than was necessary to pay the per diem, mile?
age, Ac, as the attorney, was not considered
a member of the committee; there was no
money asked to pay the expenses in the
Fourth Congressional District, that witness
knows of; does not.know of any money being
drawn on the 3d or 4th of Maren by the mem?
bers of tbe committee, the attorney not being
considered a.member of said committee; does
not remember when the matter was "fixed
up;" witness generally took a receipt; has been
so situated that he cannot examine the
books, Ac .
Q. (By Mr. Foster.) Did you consider your
committee 'disbanded after the report was
made to the Legislature ?
A. Does not recollect that the committee
was discharged; does not know that the com?
mittee is discharged to this day.
Q. <Bv Mr. Foster.) Do you think that the
committee has a right to draw on the treasury
till (aa you term lt) properly discharged ?
A. Witness thinks the committee had a right
to draw On the treasury, for anything that was
due to the committee, till properly discharged.
Beinz unable to get any more out of "Joe,"
the committee discharged him, and hear the
matter rests for the present.
THE COAL SQUABBLE. ^ -
The message'of the House, insisting on their
amendment of filty tons of coal being purchas?
ed instead of fifteen, as agreed upon by the

WASHINGTON NJSWS.
Settling the Vexed Questions with Eng?
land-The Dominican Commission.
WASHINGTON, February 9.
An army officer reports that the troubles la
Robesen County, Non h Carolina, are . in no#
way the result of political sentiments, either
one way or tbe other. He thinks thc citizens,
by united action, as posse comitatus under the
sheriff, could suppress the outlawry which is
fast devastating that section.
The British minister, by instructions from
his government and in a spirit of friendship,
proposes to tbe United States the appointment
of a Joint commission, to sit at Washington, to
settle the fisheries and other questions. The
government has accepted the proposition in a
cordial manner, and the British minister re?
plies, of date February 1st, that a settlement
of the Alabama claims will also be essentlal|to
the restoration of cordial and amicable rela?
tions between the two governments.
Minister Schenck will sail for England on
the first of March. It is understood he will
have lull discretionary power to settle the Ala?
bama question. *
There ls no news whatever trom the Ten?
nessee with the Dominican commissioners.
The absence of news causes uneasiness.
Tbe impression grows that the President will
allow the test oath to become a law by his In?
action.
Proceedings in the House-A Georgia
Member Seated-A Large Vote.
WASHINGTON, February 9.
Tbe vote by which the House refused to go
Into committee of the whole for the repeal of [
the income tax was 103 to 107. It was the
largest cast since the commencement of the
war. The vote, politically, war much divided.
It was rather an array of the cities against the
rural districts.
The bill sealing Miller upon a modified oath
was postponed until Monday. The school
question was also postponed.
In the House, Whitely, lately a contestant,
was seated as a representative of the Second
Georgia District.
The death of Covode was announced and the
House adjourned.
The Queen's Message on the Alabama
.Claims-The President Nominates
Commission.
The Senate was In Executive session from
half-past 2 until 5 o'clock, on the correspond?
ence between Fish and Thornton. The follow?
ing is an extract from the Queen's speech : "I
have therefore engaged In amicable communi?
cation with the President of the United States,
in order to determine the most convenient
mode of treatment lor these matters connect?
ed with the fisheries. I have suggested the
appointment of a joint committee, and I have
agreed to a proposal of the President that this
commission be authorized at same time and in
same manner to resume the consideration of |
questions growing out of the late war. This
arrangement will, by common consent, In?
clude all claims for compensation which have
oi may be made by each government, or Its |
citizens, upon the other."
The President's message to the Senate-the
contents of which have Bot transpired-ls
based upon the above. There was no serious
opposition In the Senate to the plan or to the
commissioners nominated. Delay In the ratf
Hcatlon of both, however, Is asked for, until
the documeniB could be printed, so that sena?
tors might have a more thorough understand
ng ef the matter.
The Senate confirmed John B. G. Pltken as
general appraiser of merchandise for the |
South, vice Lucius D. Kellogg, resigned.
The President nominates Secretary Fish,
Minister Schenck, Judge Nelson, ex-Attornev
Seneral Hoar and Senator Williams as com?

ict in conjunction with a similar committee
ippointed by England for the settlement o?
.he Alabama and fishery questions. The Senate
