VBSTERDAY AFTERNOON SK8SIOD. Washington, March 80, 1876. After the morniuR business, the S9nfile took up Morton's resolution, and liayard spoke in opposition.
Bayard thought it remarkable that the resolution asked for five -Senators only. Why commit this subject to Senators only. Why not include members of the other House? If any law was to be enacted on this subiect it would require the aid of the other house. Wbv not include them on this occasion? Was it because it was composed of members of a different party? Toe information sought for shouid be obtained by a joint committee of the two houses. There seems to be NO OCCASION FOR THIS INVESTIGATION. No one here is contesting a senatorial seat. Why not wait until he comes here, and then, if the question arises, let it bo investigated?

its existence. That, he said, totally disproved the statement of the Senator from Delaware. The Senator had said that he looked forward to the time when the fines that had been imposed upon thesj ku klux tor
THEIR INIQUITOUS ACT3
would be paid back to thm by Congress. That is the doctrine thero. These lines will be refunded when the Democrats get control of thia Government. That was to be an Issue next November, and those scoundrels _who committed these Ku Klux acts will be paid back the fines that were justly imposed upon them for their crimes. The Senator from Delaware bad charged him (Morton) with gabbling newspaper exiracts in his speech, and presenting a partial array of the statements that the Senator had in hi3 speech before him, and he would thank him to point out any garbled extracts. Morton further discussed the subject, alluding to the decision of theSupreme Court on Monday last, and said if the decision of that court sustained the construction which the Senator from Delaware had put upon it, then he wholly repudiated it.
Withers, of Virginia, opposed the resolution, and in a lengthy argumeat showed that the people of the southern states had accepted the situation, and were disposed to abide by the issues ot war. He closed by declaring that the depression in business throughout the country would never be cured by the assertions continually made that one half of the country was trying to destroy the other half, autf was constantly trying to impede its progress.

Mr Bayard said that the Senator had taken advantage of his courtesy in fielding for a question to interject a political tirade of a bitter kind,

iu his said office. The third article recites that said W. W. Belknap, as Secretary ot War of the United States, did appoint Jehu S Evans to maintain a trading establishment at Fort Sill, and that said Evans, by virtue of said appointment, had since until the 2d day of March, 1876, maintained that trading establishment, aud had before he v. as appointed, s.nd in order to procure such appointment and be continued therein, agreed with Marsh tiiat iu cousideratiou of said Belknap's appointing him (Evans) to maintain eaid trading establishment, at the instance and request of said
Marsh, he (Evans) would pay to him (Marsh) a large sum of money, quarterly i" advance, from the date of bis appointment by said Belknap, to-wit: $12,000 during the year, and other large sums quarterly during each year, in order that he (the said Evans) should be permitted by the said Belknap to maintain such trading establishment at such post that Evans did pay to Marsh such sums of money quarterly duriug each year, uutil the mouth of December^ 1876 that Marsh, upon the receipt of such

War basely PROSTITUTING HI3 HIGH OFFICE, to his lust for privategain, did unlaw' fully and corruptly continue Evans in such position, and permit him to remain in his establishment, to the great injury «nd damage of the officers and soldiers of the army of the United States, stationed at such post, as veil as to imigrauts, freighters and other citizens of the United States against public policy and to tbegreat disgrace"and detriment of the public service.

BELKNAP WELL KNEW,

London, March 81—The Times this morning hopes that the Ministry may yet be better advised than persist in recommending to the Queen the assumption of the Empress of India. It declares it has been unfeignedly alarmed by rapid decline in authority and reputation of the Government since the beginning of tbe session. It does not pretend to any special affectection tor the Ministry, but it cannot help seeing tbat tbe opposition is thoroughly disorganized that the euergies of its older members are exhauted, while the younger men are% chiefly remarkable for immaturity of mind, which threatens never to lipen and the attempt to form a Government out of such materials would threaten mischief to the country, even those who thiok its fears fanciful and overstrained most hesitate to push this new title forward when they understand it does, in fact, provoke discontent. The Times, in a financial article, says that the best private infor--Ton we can obtain says that the financial circles on tn» continent have no belief in or apprehension ot immediate troubles in* eastern Europe. The Times also call the attention to tbe fact that while on Thursday there was an apparent collapse in small loans of the Argentine provinces of Santa F© and Sutic Mos, which had both been quoted at above piar during March, aud on Monday were 90 and 85, bnt on Thursday both closed at 50.
