Special t> the Times by 8. A- A. Line.] SENATE. Washington, Jan. 7. Mr. Scott 1 1 'resented a memorial of the working j men of Pennsylvania, asking the I granting of a subsidy to the lease of ! the Pacific Railroad, referred to com mittee oil roads. Pending the discussion, the morn ling hour expired and the bill went < ver. The important business being the resolution of inquiry concerning the military movements in Louisiana was taken up. Mr. Gordon said, yesterday, in re ply to some harshremarks addressed to him by the Senator from Vermont, Edmunds, he had been betrayed into making some remarks about the re sponsibility as applied to that Sena tor. By that word he had done an injustice to the Senator from Ver mont. The responsibility of that Senator as a statesman and a jurist and as a member of society was, in his opinion, of tin* highest order and most honorable character. Having done an injustice to tin* Senator, he wished now, in the presence of the Senate, to express t<> I him his.sincere regrets. Forbidden, as Senators were, to say anything of a personal nature, he now made the only reparation left to him. Mr. E imundsdesired to express his obligation to tin* Senator from Geor gia for the very Handsome maimer in which lie had just spoken. Hi* felt satisfied that on reflection the Sena tor would see that lie had been un just. He (Mr. E.) did not intend to address any harsh language to the Senator, or reflect on him presonaliy, and if the Senator so understood him he was sorry. Mr. Hamilton of Maryland said from the unprecedented diameter of the seizure of the State House in Now Orleans, the people of the coun try might well take alarm. It was a most unusual thing in this land of liberty, however usual it might be in monarchical countries. The inform ation asked of the President as to the reasons influencing his action, was desired by all, and lie did not suppose that there would be any ob jection to passing it. Tito Senator from Wisconsin' however liad suggest ed what an* you going to do if the j President don't answer tin* resolu tion? He di<l not believe that tin* President would decline to answer, but what will we do if lie don’t give the reasons for hit*action? The army does not belong to tin* President, nor to the Governor of any State, but it, belongs to the people and ns Rupre-! seututivesof tin* people, if tin* Presi- j dent uses the army for improper pur poses, if lie uses it against the liberties j of tin* people, we can stop his. supplies, we can strip him of every ; soldier, we can leave him without n j ve-s *1; that is a remedy we have j against a despotic executive, and our I duty to the people might be such as I to compel us to use it. Mr. H. then J proceeded to comment on the scenes j of Monday last. He denied that tin* j Legislature had a right, to prescribe j the manner in which its successor should be organized. There never I had been a precedent in t In* history of the country for this action of Mon day lust. A Governor of u State, now j usurping Governor for In* is no mor<* | Governor of Louisiana than I am, j actually command tin* army of I the United States, and by bis orders this army exjels from their seats, j five member a of th * Legislature. There had been no ]>re odent, for this but the precedent Had now been made and who can tell when and when* it will b * repealed. It i* not tin* duty of officers and sol diers to be arresting legislators. That is for the people to settle. He then referred to a circular sent out last ! fall by the Indiana Republican (Vn -i vontion asking the Uepubliean papers ! of the State to keep prominently be | fore the people, until the election, accounts of Southern outrages. I Mr. Logan asked if the Senator j was candid in intimating that stories | of Southern outrages were concocted j for election purposes. Mr. Hamilton said there liad been j murders in the South just as in the North, and no one regretted this I I more than he; but it was the fact j I that these stories of Southern out-, ' rages were heralded before the | I country for campaign purposes. Mr. Logan held up a volume which he said contained sworn testimony* proving that one hundred negroes | were murdered in one place. He was j prepared to show by sworn state j meats that these outrages were com- i 1 rnitted, and the men who said they | ] were made for campaign purposes l were seared with iron hearts, Ap i plause in the gallery. The Chair (Mr. Ferry, of Michigan,) said these manifestations in the gal leries must close, and tie* Sergeant-j at-Arms would see that order was preserved. Mr Hamilton said this outrage bu siness must be stopped. It is wrong. Mr. Morton Does the Senator' mean the murders arc* wrong, or the j telling of them is wrong? Mr. Hamilton said both were] wrong. It was wrong to commit I murder, and it was wrong to pro- j claim these murders all over the j North for no other purpose than to , inflame the minds of the people of that section against the South. Mr. Logan asked the Senator if he COLUMBUS, GA., FRIDAY, JANUARY 8, 1875. justified the Penn revolution in Sep 1t ember last. Mr. Hamilton asked whether the i Senator believed that MeEnery and | Penn were elected Governor. Mr. Logan When the Senator an swers my question, I will answer his. I ask him whether he justified the rebellion of Penn and bis 10,000 fol lowers against the State government of Louisiana. Mr. Hamilton The Senator had himself united in a report that there had been no legal election in Louis iana ; therefore there was no State government in Louisiana to bo over thrown. [Applause in the galleries.] Mr. Sargent gave notice that if fur ther disorder occurred in the galle ries, lie seould move that they be cleared. The Chair said if the applause was repeated, he should order the galle ries to be cleared. Mr. Hamilton resumed. He said re bellion was one of the characteristics of the American people. American freedom was born in revolution and rebellion, and the sympathies of tin* American people were always with those who rose against oppression and tyranny. [Renewed applause and hisses.] Mr. Sargent moved that the galle ries be cleared. Considerable debate, on motion, I was held, when the sergeant-at-arms ; whs directed to station a sufficient po j li *e force in the galleries, with diree j tions to arrest- and report to tin* Sen ate all persons who, by any manil’os | tions, shows approbation or disap probation ami disturbs its delibera -1 t ions. Mr. Hamilton again resumed and ! commented at some length j<n the conspiracy to maintain Kel ! logg in power in defiance of law and justice*. He then commented on the | dispatches of Gen. Sheridan as to the | condition of affairs in Louis iana, Mississippi and Arkan | sas. Mr. If dosed with an earnest | appeal for peace and fraterity be tween the people of all parts of tin* j country. Mr. Bayard obtained the lioor, Imt gave way, and the Senate i after an executive session adjourned. house.

The City Court is again crowded to-day in tin* Bcech j er-Tilton trial. Tilton and counsel I are present. Beecher is absent, but represented by his sons Henry and Edward. Everett, Shearman, Porter, Hall and Tracy ate also present. The case of Lucius H. Robinson, the 1 second juror who was accused by Til ] ton’s lawyers with being prejudiced ! against their client, was taken up. | The witnesses being called testified ! that lie expressed decided opinions [in a controversy. Robinson said in* ! used expressions not as his own opin ion, but merely for agument. Judge Neil.son decided that the ju ror should be excluded from the jury box, which elicited doclartaions from Everett. Beecher’s counsel, that, the whole proceeding was illegal and un precedented. He asked the Court’s authority for its action? The Court said it was on a chal lenge for principal in case. Everett took exceptions. Sherman also ejected, and.gave three grounds for his objections. The exceptions were noted, Beecher’s lawyers are sure that Neilson had committed an error that is fatal to the ease in the event of a verdict, against Beecher. The witnesses were then called to prove tin* incompetency of the third juror, S. H. Lewis, whom Tiiton’s lawyers also alleged to be a friend of \ Beecher’s. The same objections were made by f Beecher’s counsel, and again aver- j ruled. Up to u late hour this afternoon a ; full jury in the Titton-B eeher suit had not been obtained. Notwith standing the intensely disagreeable ! rain storm which prevailed steady, j together with tlio slippery condition of the streets caused by the forma tion of ieo on the sidewalks, crowds at the court room were us grout ns j over when eourt adjourned yesterday. Eight jurors had been obtained, but two were tmpoaobod to-day by Til ton’s counsel, several witnesses tes tifying to tlielr having expressed de cided opinions, and Judge Neilsou therefore not them aside. This left but six jurors, and work of securing the remaining was at once com menced and tediously progressed until 10 o’clock, when recess was taken, At this time one additional juror bad been accepted.

The news which comes to us from Mexico, that, the Mexican Congress has solemnly voted, to expel the Sis ters of Charity from the territory of tin* republic, is not a pleasant piece of information in itself, nor is it likely to enhance the reputation of the Mex iean people on either side of the At lantic. For the “daughters of St Vin cent” are known and honored of all men, of whatever creed, who are capa ble of mp] >roeiating unselfish andt*vot ion untiring benevolence, and that most intelligible of all forms of the love of God which expresses itself in loving service to the poorest and most mise erable of bis creatures. That, the Legislature of a considerable civilized country should deliberately refuse to an association of Christian women absolutely consecrated and set. apart to the works of charity tin* right to exercise their sacred vocation, may well seem to other nations such it istolidpie.ee of bigotry as is hardly re concilable with any rational faith in the future of such a country. It is but simple just ice, therefore, to Me.\- j ieo and the Mexicans, that so extra j ordinary an act should not In* mis-j represented nor tin* stops by which] Mu* Mexican Congress reached it lost sight of. On the 21st of May last four members of the Mexican Congress laid before that jbody a “projet of constitutional reform.*’ The nine teenth and twentieth articles of this projet were aimed at* the monastic orders in Mexico, tin* first named article absolutely pro hibiting tin* existence of such orders in the republic, and the last named article defining as “monastic orders within the scope of article in all re ligious societies the members of which live under certain rules of their own in fulfillment of temporary or nermnnont vows and promisi s. and under subjection to one or more superiors; even if the members of the order thus formed should have different and separate dwelling pla ces.” Of course under such an ar ticle it would be impossible for such a body as our American “Shakers,” or as the Oneida Community, or as the Mormons, to exist in Mexico, and if the article was t< have* any virtue or vitality, at all, those who proposed tho “plan of reform” of which it is a part were fatally bound to admit that it concluded 'in its purview Mu* benign and saint like women t" whom j it. has finally, after a sharp debate, been decided that.it. must apply. In the course of this debate, run* or t wo of the most distinguished men in Mexico, and particularly Bouur Ra fael Martinez do la Torre, the brilli ant and accomplished Mexican law yer who played so honorable apart in the defence of the Emperor Maxim ilian before the court-martial which condemned tin' unhappy prince to j death, pleaded the cause of the I Sisters of Charity with rare and touching eloquence. The simple record of the life and work of t he Bis ters in Mexico pleaded also for them, and not less eloquently. Tin* order of the Sisters of Charit y has been es tablished now in Mexico for thirty years. The number of Sisters against, whom the hand of the gov ernment has now been lifter! is 410, of whom no fewer than :155 are native daughters of Mexico. Of the others 20 are of French, 25 of Spanish, one, of Irish birth. No fewer t han M chari table establishments in different parts of tiie republic are under their charge, 28 of which have been found ed and are supported through their influence by private benevolence ex clusively. In these establishments, 21,145 poor people are actually re ceiving succor, medical care, and the tender help which they hope lo find nowhere else. To expel the Sisters of Charity from Mexico, Into do e these establishments, and to close these establishments is to t hrow all the sufferers now relieved iu them, upon the casual charity of a country in which neither charity nor any other form of a modern social activi ty can now be truly said to be organ ized upon a scale or in a manner wholly worthy of the present age. These considerations were potent enough to array fifty-seven votes in behalf of the threatened Sisters, against one hundred and thirteen desperately logical Liberals, who re fused to exempt them from the sweeping prohibition enacted b> the | now “project of reform” against all [ “monastic orders.” For when it is t stated that tho new law ex pel sit In* i Sisters from Mexico, it is only fair to j be exact about its operation and to j say that if attains this result not by : directly and specifically ordering | them or the nu mbers of any other order to leave the Republic, ns the 1 Jesuits, for example, were recently j ordered by tin* German Government, to remove out of the empire, but by! forbidding them to recognize the au thority of their rules and their supe riors, or wear in public their distinc tive dross. Of course this amounts to the same thing, so far as the Sisters arc concerned. But it is not quite so barbarous and pig-noadod a t iling so far as the majority of the Mexican Congress are concerned,— World. I.yiicll I,IIIV 111 Il'nAll-ll'. N. V.

The horse, we admit, is a noble animat; yet we do not know that in the eye of the law ho is any nobler than the pig or the eow. liut, iu that country of centaurs Justice Lynch is nothing if he be not eques trian; he beams with comparative mildness upon murderers, and he is lenient with ordinary larcenies, imt whoever helps himself feloniously to a rusty old lilt, or a ragged old saddle, is doomed to incontinent hemp and the convenient, wayside bough; for tnere is something quite Arabian in the Kansas farmer's deep and dying affection for his horse and horse fur niture. lu other parts, Lynch grows stern and industrious for other rea sons. In the virtuous town of Fair field, 111., for instance, the Lynchers are all for female virtue and chastity and “the icicle on Ilian’s temple,” and all that sort of tiling; and the oilier night they thought it necessary to burn, certain loose ladies out of house and homo a moral method which we are not surprised to learn lias heretofore proved more savage than satisfactory in Fairfield. But in Kansas it is horses, with now and then an exception like that which we shall notice presently. For our first story wo are under ob ligations to the Lawrence newspa pers. Ten miles from that, city, in Clinton township a man bearing the euphonious name of Barkaw was be reaved of a set of harness. Suspect ing a boy -one Bay -of stealing it, he hired a quartet of ruffians to waylay the lad and to deal with him inqulsi-! toriu,lly. They met him about ton j o’clock at night, drugged him from Ids horse, smothered his cries in a lilanket, carried him toward a neigh- j boring timber and hung him to a tree. Occasionally letting him down, J hey would ask him where that pre cious old harness was concealed ; and j ffnally, unable longer to endure tile j agony, the half-strangled boy told ! them that it was in the house of Mr. j Many, which was a falsehood, for j when they sought it there they did not lind it. This rendering the in- I quisitors still more crusty,*they re turned to Bay and submitted him • once more to t he ordeal of suspension. This time lie wisely refused to make his tormentors any reply. When their prolonged brutality had nearly murdered him, the savages became convinced in their judicial minds that I Buy was innocent, and with a stern sense of justice which we cannot too much admire, they denied themselves Ike pleasure of quite breaking his neck, and released him. This half-j hanging seems to be a favorite ordeal I in Ivans,-is ; and perhaps it is to be re grafted that the (lode there provides! no spell method of dealing with fel ons like tills Barkaw and his four hired apparitors. Our next example has no horse in j it, but concerns a couple of Harnes | sics. In a settlement, we believe near j Leavenworth,and bearing the roman tic name of Sareoxieville, lives j.George Harness, who is, unless his I sufferings lmve quite extinguished j the tender flarue, in love with ids j cousin, Mary Harness, This passion, ] for some reason, Is not approved by ] f lic young men of the vicinage. Up on a recent: Sabbath evening, time mil of mind sacred to courtship, George’s wooing was interrupted by In shower of "various sized rocks 1 ’ ! cast against the house. Six evenings after, as George was going to see tlio damsel again, he was prostrated bv an unseen ilsf, and robbed of “SL4 U. IS. currency.” When a fortnight nf jb-r, the operation of “rocking” the I house was repealed, the unfortunate lover, “wil-ii a view to reconnais sance,” opened wide the outer door, it; was a most, unfortunate tiling for j him to do. They had him out in a moment,. They pounded him, they | pommeled him, they boat him, they 1 bruised him they left him for j head I “Ku kiux in Leavenworth!” is the heading of the articles from l which we draw those miserable par i tieulars. We should think so. The I villains came to their work “with | (heir clothing turned inside out;” and “gunny sacks with holes to ac commodate ihoir optics wore drawn over their faces.” These, it must, lie i admitted, are KnKlux peculiarities, There isn’t much epical dignity in | the, ciremnstanoe, but perhaps we should state that, two or three days ! after his last KuKluxiug by man, poor Harness was KuKiuxed by a hull, which, as our authority states, “in a frock of unaccountable eussod ne.-s, horned him severely.” If we were George Harness, unless cousin Mary is extremely beautiful wo should leave her and Kansas forever. Who knows but the bull may be Ju piter in disguise, and looking after a new Europu? As for persons who think of emigrating to Kansas, we Caution them to leave tlicir hearts behind them, and to take a plenty of I harness with the/n; for it might be unpleasant, to lose the one there, or to bo obliged to steal the other.

He was born November 28, 1857, and at the time of tilts abdication was i three years short of the age at which Spanish royalty is supposed to attain discretion. All tlio .Spaniards who had remained faithful to the Queen were summoned to appear at Basil owsld Mansion, June 23, Ih7u. At 2:30 precisely, Isabella entered the drawing room. She was attired ill rose-colored silk covered with white, inoo. Tiie Queen said she had resolv ed to abdicate the throne and to make known lmr reasons for doing so to all Spaniards. Shu then unfolded a pa nel' which she had and read her proc lamation. hi it she gave a brief sum mary of her reign, and reminded Spaniards that she had boon sum moned to reign over them when she was scarcely more than a baby in the cradle. She had grown up without one hour’s time, amid the civil dis cords which rent Spain asunder; she hod oven in the cradle, even as a young girl, still more as a woman, been in a continual conflict witli po litical parties or political factions which fought for power, and, absorb ed by these conflicts, she was made impotent to do all the good to the country she hud desired to do. Nev ertheless, she forgave all those who laid wronged her, and confided her son to the nobility of tlie Spanish na tion. The Queen fell weeping in her mother’s arms. When she grew calm ! Alfonso stood in herplaee, and every body in the room kissed his hand. The royal family then resumed their ! plaees, Alfonso occupying the place of honor. Tlio Queen then sent a i telegram to the Pono announcing her abdication, and asking him to bless her son, his cause and Spain. -V. Y. llorM.
