Washington, December 19.?At tho j
canons of the Republican Senators to?
day, several of the caucus committee !
made reports. While no formal action
was taken in regard to Southern af?
fairs, there was unanimity on the
point that all oitizens in that section
must be protected in their lawful
rights. Some Senators suggested that
there fheutd be au increase of the army
for that purpose, while others were
of the opinion that an improved mili-1
tia arrangement might better secure
protection. The caucus Committee
on Southern Affairs will not make any
recommendation with regard to Ar?
kansas affairs until the oommittee ap?
pointed by the House shall have made
their report to that body, and, there?
fore, the Arkansas question was not
discussed. There was an indisposition
to take action relative to the Kellogg
government. As to tbe question of
admitting Pincbback, it was said there
were questions pending beforo the
Committee on Privileges and Elections
affecting him whioh should first be set?
tled before diaonssing the propriety of
giving him the vacant seat in the Se?
nate belonging to Louisiana. Most of
tho time of the caucus was consumed
in the consideration of the finance
question, a report having been made
by the committee of eleven on that
subject, through its chairman, Senator
Sherman. Tho debate took u wide
range, but all who spoke expressed tho
opinion thut something was necessary
to be done, and that, therefore, it was
the part of wise statesmanship for
those present to harmonize their views
if possible. Tho committee of eleven,
before they brought their report into
the caucus, were divided in their views,
seven being in favor of the report and
four against; but finally, on motion of
one of the four, the report was made
unanimous, and after a long discussion
was adopted by the caucus. The bill
agreed upon will bo reported at an
early day to tho Senate. According to
tho best attainable information, it pro?
vides for the resumption of spocio pay?
ments on the first day of Juuuur>,
1879, for free banking, and for the re?
tiring of greenbacks to the extent of
80 per cent, of the amount of the new
national bank notes issued, and also
requires tbe ?16,000,000 of fractional
currency to bo gradually withdrawn,
aud silver coin, iu denomiaatioua of
from five to fifty cents, issued iu its
pluoe. The Secretary of the Troasury
is authorized to use the surplus coin iu
the Treasury ou and after the day fixed
for resumption to redeem the legal
tenders, and, if necessary, to soli bonds
for the same purpose, if tho amount of
speoio is not sufficient.

The commission of engineers npon
levees are not entirely in acoord; the
civilian members favor that their re?
port should contain a recommenda?

right to make suggestions cr recom?
mendations to Congress, and propose u
dreary array of science. The Missis?
sippi delegation in tho interest of
levees, consisting of Judge Jefferds,
Col. Hayoroft and Col. Bruce, Federal
Senator elect, visited the President.
These gentlemen had previously visit?
ed the commission upon levees. The
President favored a geueral system of
levees; as partial systems, while pro?
tecting one portion, damaged an?
other; and that to make the system
effectual, there must be ooncert. The
committee speaks highly of the Presi?
dent's knowledge of what is requisito
to save the alluvial lauds bordering on
the Mississippi, its tributaries and its
outlets.

I Hayes, of Alabama, offered a resolu?
tion for the appointment of u select
committee to inquire into the political
affairs in Alabama, and ns to the use
of Federal soldiers there, and the in?
timidation of voters, Sic. Randall, of
Pennsylvania, suggested that the eoni

Senators and Representatives, at which

advocutcd tho sending of troops to
several of the States of that seotiou.
They foared that tho Republican party
wan hopelessly dead unless decisive
steps were taken during the present
session to put down turbulent whites.
They confessed their inability to poll
white votes. Tho Northeru Senators
did not eudorso the propositions, and
some of them openly expressed them?
selves against further interference with
affairs of the South, Buyiug they had
lost many votes in the North by it.
Seuator Lswis, of Virginia, declared
tho Ropnblioan party had lost power
iu tho South, beoanso of tho bail cha?
racter of many of its would-be leaders
and tho advocacy of the Civil Rights
Bill, whioh be considered a most iui
quitous measure. The South could
only be carried for the Republican
party as at present organized by Bond?
ing soldiers enough there to prevent
the people from voting. The majority
evidently agreed with him, as before a

committed: by:a b^mlJif4:,a>rrj?d men
upon the plantation of Mr. J. D.
Jones on November 28. Mr. Ball
says: On the 3d instant, affidavits were
made before me by Soipio Harrison,
Prince Tyler, laauo Knight, Isaac
Jenkins, Eloie Walker, Andrew Jack?
son and Prank Jamison, (colored,)
charging Jonee Salley, Wm. Salley,
Wm. O'Dowd, Lewis Ioabinet, Martin
Corbett and Walter Knight, (wliite.)
with having broken down the doors of
their dwelling houses at midnight and
entered armed and in disguise; that
said parties did shoot in uud about
their houses, driving the inmates?wo?
men and children?into the woods,
representing themselves us United
States soldiers eent from Columbia, S.
C. Warrants of at rest were immedi?
ately issued by me and placed in the
hands of Deputy Marshal Wolfe on
tho 4th of Deoember, 1871. I also
summoned as witnesses every person
suspected at having any kuowledgs of
the affair. On the 8tb, the parties
were brought before me, uudor arrest
by the Marshal, and uu examination
commenced, lasting four days. The
prisoners were represented by Messrs.i
Izlar & Dibble. The testimony elioited
upon the examination showed con?
tinuously that a most dastardly and
unprovoked attack had been made
upon these parties and their families,
at midnight, by a baud of six armed
men, who represented themselves as
"Yankees sent from Colombia;" that
they threatened the lives of all the
parties, several of whom were fired ut
and barely escaped by rnnuing; that
they threatened to born the houses
down, and did take and destroy seven
guns, &c. Jones Salley, Wm. Sallay,
Wm. O'Dowd and Lewis Inabiuet
wore, at the aouoluaiou of the exami?
nation, held to bail in the sum of
?6,000 each for their appearance be?
fore the United States District Judge
at tho January term, 1875, of the
United States District Court, at
Charleston, to answer an indictment
for violation of Section G, Aot of May
31, 1870. The witnesses for the Go
vurumeut were also required to give
reooguizance for thair appeuranoe.
The New* says: "We understand
that Commissioner Bull had a fair uud
full investigation, and that he acted
throughout with fairness towards the
accused, but after a mature considera?
tion of the testimony elicited iu bis
Court, deemed it an imperative duty
upon himself to bind some of t tie par?
ties over to the United States Court.
Aa but one side of the case has yet
been beard, we forbear expresniug our
opinion as to the guilt or inuoce-uce of
the men implicated in this nasty affair.
Wo do venture to say, however, that if
the crime is as dastardly as it now ap?
pears to be, that the law should take
its course firmly, rigidly, aud with a
-.tern hand, teach its violators that
there are penalties prescribed for those
who dare infringe upon it. The large
portion of our intelligent citizens are
doing all they can iu the interest of
peaoe and harmony, and we regret that
a few men should attempt to undo
what they are so zealously striving to
accomplish, namely, good order, good
government, and a lasting friendship
between all parties."
New York don't like to aee the
Southern Pacific Railroad bnilt, bo
oauBe the people there fear that it may
do them some injury. A foolish fear
und altogether unworthy of the inhabi?
tants of that great- eity; If tho fear is
ignoble, the mode of attack is not less
sa. They cry out that the Southern
Pacific line is a "Tom Scott" ?chemo,
and forthwith all those who are against
"Tom Seott" cry out, like Irogs iu the
pond, the like note ? "Tom Scott,"
"Tom Ssott." "Tom Cat" would be
as sensible. Wo do not know "Tom
Scott's" relation to the matter. We
I do not know tho man himself, and
i nothing about him; but imagine that
ho is as good as many other so-called
railroad kings. Wo rather pynipa
tbizo with him because he is t-o bitt. rly
I abused. There is more of vindictive
uess than otleuded virtue in the de?
nunciations >-i htm. Lie must have
done something good, we aro sure.
Dot, independent of "Tom Scott," or
"Tom Cat," we adhere to the impor
I tance of u railroad via the S lUth-west
pass to California. Build it. and if we
of the South dou't take advantage of
it, it will be our fault. It is a great
national line. It has a claim npou the
I National Goverumeut; but as that is
: coutroded from the North, it will have
in tight squeeze to .succeed, if it suc?
ceeds at all. The North wants
' "Northern Pacifies," but does- not in
j clino lo tho "Southern Pacific." Oh,
uo; that is quito a different mutter,
? uud to be repudiated as "Tom rieottV
road. That cry don't conceal the real
motive which lies at tho bottom. But,
I notwithstanding this, we cutiuot t?eu
I how the South cau bo led by mere per?
sonal prejudice to treat unkindly a
project for a road which would add
iminein'bly to Southern oomincrco us
I well as national accommodation and
