The Administration sustained its first defeat of the session on tho subject of the postal telegraph. Dawes moved to refer to a select committee so mach of the President's message as recommonds the absorption of the telegraph system in the postal service of the country. This was opposed by Randall, Farns? worth, Niblaok, Beck and Banks, who contended that the subject, should not be taken from a standing committee and referred to a seleot one; whioh would necessarily, under the parliamentary rule, have a majority in favor of tho project. After an animated discussion, in whioh the scheme was denounced as one that would bleed the Treasury to the amount of $70,000,000, and add 25,000 em? ployees to tho oivil service of the Go? vernment, the motion for a select com? mittee was defeated, and the whole sub? ject referred to the Committee on Appropriations; whioh is considered tan? tamount to a rejection of the project.

Nov 28 E. HOPE. THE UNITED STATES CIRCUIT COURT TaiAii OP Ku KLUX OASES.-TUESDAY, December 5.-The court convened st 10?? A.M., Hon. Hugh L. Bond and Hon. George S. Bryan presiding. The case of the united States va. Allen Orosby et at., for conspiracy against Amzi Bainey, end for burglary under the Acts of Congress of May 31, 1870, and April 20, 1871, was resumed. Mr. Stanberry, for the defence, handed in his authorities, and spoke at some length in explanation of the grounds of bis motion to qaash the indictment flied and argued yesterday. Ho read from Wharton's American Griminal Law, vol. 3, page 2,290 and page 2,849, the deci? sion of the Court for the Correction of Errors in the case of Lambert es. the People, 9 Gowan, 678, and other authori? ties, showing that in indictments for conspiracy, the means by whioh the un? lawful act was perpetrated should be set forth, the names of the parties injured, &o., and that in the present indictment, such means at least should be alleged aa would reasonably prevent a person from exercising the right of suffrage. Mr. Chamberlain, for the prosecution, replied in support of the indictment SB made, taking np eaoh ground of excep? tion in its order. As to the first ground of exoeption-that the conspiraos charged is to violate thc first section of the Act of May 81, 1870, whioh section defines no crime or offence and forbids nothing-he stated that it was through no disrespect to the eminent counsel for the defence, but that really it was impos? sible for him to discern any force in the exoeption. It would seem, from thc argnment of the counsel, that every sec? tion of an Act should contain a prohibi? tion and affix a penalty to render it effectual. Suob, however, is not the caso. Sections are bat arbitrary and artificial divisions of un entirety, and are to be considered not singly, but in con? nection with other seotions with whiob they are combined. Nothing is more common in legislative enactments than that prior sections should assert rights, declare duties, &c, and some final sec? tion affix a penalty. In the present in? stance, tho first section defines tho right and the sixth section provides a mode el punishment for a violation of the first. As to the 8eaoud exoeption-that tho names of tho parties are not set forth the answer to that was, that it was unne? cessary to set forth names ia an indict? ment for conspiracy. 3d Greenleaf on Evidence, seo. 89, also in 2d Bussell on Urimos, page 679, it is shown that in au indictment for conspiring together on a certain day, through falso rumors, to raise the price of the public funds, thc indictment was held good, though the oames of the parties injured wero not ?amed. Also in the case of the Com? monwealth vs. Judd, 2d Mass., page 329, tin indiotment for conspiring together to manufacture and sell, with a fraudulent intent, a base and spnrions compound ss genuine indigo, was held good, though the parties injured were col named. The ubjeots of a conspiracy may be tho pub no generally, a oertain class or an indi? vidual. In the case of the Common? wealth vs. Harlem, 7th Metcalf, an aver? ment that the parties indioted conspired to defraud, it was held not supported h? proof that B, or the public generally, uave been defrauded, but that tho in' dtotment would havo been sustained, had it been alleged that the public gene rally were intended to be defrauded. Ii our indiotment, we have not taken tht latitude allowed us, but instead o obargiug the fraud against the p ubi ii generally, as is legitimate, have shoul dered an additional burden by ohargini the fraud as against various male citizen of African descent, whioh allegation wi propose to sustain by proof. To the third objeotion to the firs oonnt, that the means by whioh the un lawful prevention was effected are no set forth, the answer was also that it wa unnecessary. 3d Greenleaf on Evidence section 95-Where the intontioo is iile gal, the means to accomplish it are no necessary. 2d Bussell on Grimes, pag 691, allowa that in an indictment th words "did conspiro by indirect means were considered os surplusage, as als ihe words "by devices, pretences an auntie means." Mr. Stanberry-The gentleman doesn seem to understand the point raised b the defence here. The statute readi "if any person shall, by threats, intim dation and violence," &c, which facti we claim, it is necessary to allege. Mr. Chamberlain-The sixth sectio under whioh this indictment is laid read "If two or more persons shall band ( conspire together," Seo. No means ai stated, and none need be alleged. Tl counsel reads from the fifth sectioi which refers simply to individuals, ac has no reference to a conspiracy. As I the objeotion that no specific electic was named, we reply that Amzi Bairn had a right to vote at any and all ele tious. The offence is a general on Conspiracy is defined as a oombinatic or agreement of two or more perBons, 1 concerted means, to do an unlawful nt or to do a lawful aot by unlawful mean The conspiracy need never have bei effected, but the simple intent, by co oerted means, to deprive Amzi Kain o? the right to vote at any election ?h? soever complotes the crime. As to the fifth objection, that the qti lifioations of said male citizens to vc are not set forth. This conspiracy, we have already stated, is a statato offence, and the indiotment bas to drawn nnder tho statute. It becom important here to refer to somo ru! From 1st Bishop, in criminal procedo sect. 359, we read that where offence purely statutory, having no reference common laws, it is sufficient to obargo the essential words of the statute. Tl is a purely statutory offence. Not tl conspiracy is but a conspiracy to viol; the provisions of the 1st section of 1 Aot is, and it is sufficient when we chin in the essential words of the Aot. 1 statutory offence is in theso wor "Shall conspiro or band together to \ late the provisions of this Aot," and have only put a burden on ourselves osiog the words to deprive oertain m oitizens, of African descent, of the f exercise of the right of suffrage; words aro unnecessary in themseli and we are, therefore, not required state the qualifications of the votere State vs. Oonld, 31 New Hampshire, li 1st Bishop on criminal law, 373; Ea oase, 2d Lewie, 133. The great i general answer to all tho foregoing jeotions is that we are indicting undi statute, and charge a violation of provision of the 1st section ; and oil ditional allegations, suoh as that the ] ties injured were malo citizens of Afri descent are simply gratuitous, and I den us with additional proof, but are essential to sustain the indiotment. much for the objections to the count. Now, let ns oonsider the ot tiona to the second oount. The first jeotion here made is that it is not alleged that Rainey was qualified tc Tots, but simply steted that he was a citizen of the United Stater. We say, in th? first place, thst it substantially set forth when we allege that he was possessed of the right of suffrage, scoured and goa ranteea to him ander the Constitution, &o., and all additional qualifications are unnecessary, for they are charged in sub? stance when we say that he was a oitizon lawfully qualified, &o. In the second plaoe, we answer this is a statutory offence-the words of the /Lot being to conspiro together with intent to injure, oppress, threaten or intimidate any citi? zen of the United States in the free en? joyment of a right and privilege gua? ranteed by the Constitution, &o., and we . have desoribed the offence in the worcta oi the statute and named the person Amzi Bainey, as a oitizen of the United States; which is all that is required. As to the second objection, that no day of eleotion is named, all that we have said in answer to a similar objeo tion to the first count will apply. 3d. That the unlawful means are not set forth. To this we reply, that this is not an offence that depends upon tho moans, the time, or agni us t what parti? cular individual directed, but the offonce is complete short of that, and is per? fected whon, in tho words of tho defini? tion, a combination or agreement is en? tered into, by concerted means, to do an unlawful act. It is not necessary to name tho time of an overt aot. I would that I could draw npon my imagination only for a ease in hand, and were not stating a faot that has happened in this present year of grace. Suppose that two or three persons should go in dis? guise at night to the honse of a oitizen a colored man's honse-shonld smite his wife to tat floor, ravish his daughter be? fore bia eyes, and, after knocking him down, drag him out in the woods; shonld thereafter, debating the question whe? ther they will kill or whip him, force him to take au oath that he will never vote in a certain way. Now, suppose all this, and suppose the man to be Amzi Rainey, and shall it be deemed neces? sary to namo a day of election? Tho distinguished counsel say they aro not disposed to be captious, nor to take ad? vantage of technicalities, rind yet they demand of us, under these circumstances, co show at what election Amzi Kidney was hindered in the free exorcise of the ?lectivo franchise by that oatt}. The of fenoo was complete when he waB mado to take the outh, if there never shonld JO any election whatever. As to the objection that the indictment included a charge of burglary, whioh was a domestic crime, and cognizable july under the laws of the State, Mr. ?hamberhxin went on to say that he ac? corded due force to tho argument of the lefonce on that point, and agreed that ibis court cannot take jurisdiction of an iffenco against the State of South Caro ina. Section seven of the Aot provides chat if, in tho aot of violating the provi lions of section 1 of the Act, any other felony shall bo committed, the offender theil be punished in euch manner as is prescribed by the laws of the State for mob crime. It was not the intention of the Government to try for burglary, but limply upon conviction for tho conspi? racy, to make the penalty the same as for burglary nuder the State laws. This mmes very short of this count taking cognizance of the crime of burglary. vVe found that burglary had been com? mitted, and set it forth in the words of in indictment in South Carolina, not to cry tho offence, but to serve as the mea? turo of punishment as contemplated by Che statute. Tho sentence will not be for burglary, but the court will merely refer to the laws of the State for bur? glary, and affix that penalty to the con? spiracy. Tho first objeotion in the fourth oount is, that this oount does not allege that \mzi Rai ney was a citizen of the United States. Thin count is drawn under the fifth section, which reads, "any per? ton," Sec., and not citizen of the United States. As to the objeotion, "That it is not alleged that ho WOB otherwise quali? fied than by the fifteenth amendment," we admit that the fifteenth amendment loes not absolutely grant any right of suffrage, but practically and really it loes seonre and guarantee to oolored persons such right, and wu have simply followed the chosen words of the Act. Tho objections to the fifth count being the same as to the fourth, the same re? ply is applicable; so also the sixth and seventh. It was objected to the eighth aount that tho preservation of the right to be secure in person and papers igainst unreasonable searches, seizure, Sro., was the provinco of the State laws. Tho Act under which this connt was mado, was intonded simply to enforce the provisions of the fourteenth and fif? teenth amendments to tho Constitution, [f such power is vested in Congress as we understood the honorable counsel yesterday to admit, then we hold that in this instance, Congress was morely intending to protect Amzi Rainey and otherB from unreasonable search, seiz? ure, &o., rights guaranteed to them by the Constitution. It is true, that per? sonal rights are protected by the State laws; but is it not eminently proper, also, that Congress should enforce such provisions of the Constitution as effect them? Certainly it is in this inBtanoe; for while it be true that the honorable counsel-as he says-and I are protected hy the State laws from personal harm, it is equally true that Amzi Rainey was not; and Congress has come forward and said, we will proteot you. The objection to the ninth count is, that we have not specified what laws of the equal protection of whioh Amzi Rainey was deprived. Oar reply is, that it is unnecessary, inasmuch as we have charged in tho words of tho Aot. Tho objections io tho tenth count being tho same ns tho preceding, we | make the samo reply. At theoonolusion of Mr. Chamberlain's argument, the court took a recess of fifteen minutes. When the court re? sumed, Mr. Corbin followed at BO tn o length in support of tho indiotment, ex? plaining and expounding the views ad? vanced by his colleague. When he had concluded, the court, at the request of Mr. Johnson, adjourned till to-morrow, at 10 o'olook, when Mr. Johnson will OIOBO the argument for the defence.
