Mr.. OKEEFE-It may seem prepOsterous
for TO reply TO my eloquent colleague from New
York. Having affixed my nsms to that report feel Il
to be my duty 20 defend It. did think ths opposition
would manifest itself but IL % have come and
from the merchants The first section IL intended
TO remedy great and crying evil perpetrHted 10y these
very merchants tprevens them from selling 70 these
unlicensed and unpnnopled robbers permits to 60 on
vessels AT quarantine end there plumber and rob ad b
inn. What Is the effect Of the present system AZ
vessel arrives ct quarantine, is mmedstey
boarded by these hsrpies and no one else permitted on

upon private dock walled in and shut in and a. coon
cut upon the broad world Merchants are a class,
men OF Character and standing but are Ike the rest Of
the world selfish

one myself | want 20 see those protected that will
protect us. ! owe apology to the House for having
occupied their time but have done 30, Mr.. Speaker,
for the sake Of those who need our protection.
Mr.. SESSIONS hoped, if what had been said
truo, Notifications would be erected in New-York,
fully equipped with Paixhsns, and all munitions OF
10 protect those who arrive in the port OF New.York
from the boodhounds who are destroying them
Mr.. NOBLE hoped the House would pause
and consider the injury TO be done by passing the
consideration of this bill Should the bill go back 10 the
Committee OF the Whole it might not be reached again
this sossiou and the evil would be without remedy for
another season.
Mr.. SHAW was willing TO consent TO any
course that would insure sspeedy relief OF the afflicted
emigrsnts.
MIR NoBLE-The bill will effect an important
purpose IL destroys the mode by which this swindng
Is carried on. ltprevens the imprisonment and plum.
der OF the emgrant by those interested IN railroad and
steamboat ines The blow IL aimed 81 the rlians who
reach the emgrant before he lands and where he Is g
norant how to act II the bill needs amendment LEI
those amendments go the Senate and be oTporsted
In the bill there, and we will concur in them.
Mr.. FoRsYTH would go for the blu as il was
TO delay The prkciple of free trade would pre-
vent much of the robbery. Those who now pay the
Highest price for permits ID board emgrant vessels are
enabled swndle and mislead them and get live times
much from them for passAges into the country than
ought to be paid. Competition would prevent this.
RGDneT would bid against runner and the rivalry Of
those harpies would destroy them Then there should
be an efficient police force for the special protection of
emigIAp's from the swndlers who may SURROUND them,
Mr.. WEDEKIsD would state that When emf
grants landed 1t the public docks the charitable soc
etes have that Policemen shall be ready for their
protection. The robbery l. committed ct private docks
The owners a passenger ships even those who remon-
strsie against this bill deeply implicated in these
frauds They charge the iniquliy upon their clerks.
But does this exonerae themi Not AT all They know
the thing IL done and Is fact that these pursuits
given 10 disreputable politicians reward for their
dirty political services. These pursuits are granted TO
them and they sell them 10 the highest bidder without
regard 10 their character.
Doubtless some honest men obtain them, but
the generality of runners better than highway
med although their swindhn transactions protected
by law Living in district where these corrupt trans
actions most extensively carried on, he understood
the necessity Of amending the present law.
