The Coolie Trade.

1t is amusing to see the movement now
made on this subject by the Northern press,
but that is not enough. We want action /.
promises will not serve the purpose. The
country demands laso--not correspondence
between British and American officials about
the impropriety or enormity of the crimes per-
petrated by the prosecution OF the Coolie trade
1t is, from all accounts, more horrible than the
African slave trade ever was. In the latter
there preceded the shipment war between the
blacks and conquest, and afterwards sale and
captivity instead of death. In the Coolie bust
ness, 1t is cheat first and bondage and death
forwards. In our issue of day or two since,
we remarked that the [" government has taken
efficient measures to prevent traffic in Coolies =
that it els not recognised by any treaty, and il

. FRIDAY, MAY 10, 1900
Mr. WASHBURNE, of Maine, from the Commit,
tee on Elections rose to a question of privilege
and introduced resolution declaring William b.
Archer duly elected in the place Of the Hon. Jas.
@. Allen.
Mr.. RICHARDSON, of Illinois, moved that the

VEINS, WASHBURNE, COBB, and others par
ticipated, the subject was postponed till the 9th
day of June.
Mr.. CAMPBELL of Ohio introduced preamble
and resolutions, on the subject of the assault on
Senator SUMNER by the Hon. Mr.. BROOKS.
Mr.. CLINGMAN rose to point of order, and
argued that under precedents, the subjectwas not
one for the cognizance of the House.
Mr.. SMITH of Virginia suggested modification,
to the extent of striking out the preamble, which
assumed state of things not yet shown, and about
which there was diversity OF report and opinion.
The SPEAKER decided the motion OF Mr..
CAMPBELL to be in order, and exculpated himself
from the presumption (based on inquiry that
there had been any consultation concert of action
in the premises.
Mr.. CLINGMAN appealed from the decision OF
the Chair
Mr.. CAMPBELL moved that the appeal lie on

Tx SUSPICIOUS vKssKL.--We learn from let
ter received from the United States Deputy Mar
shall of Maryland, who has now the vessel in
charge, that the schooner O. +. A. Cole, formerly
reported by US as being aground off Point Look
out, has been relieved from her situation and sent
on up to Baltimore. 1t was found that five one
and half inch anger holes were bored in the
after part of the vessel and that these caused her
to sink. These holes were plugged up and the
schooner pumped out and she was sound in every
other respect. Papers have been found which
trace her from the Coast Of Africa to Cuba. She
Is fine, fast sailer, but was in most filthy condi-
ton when discovered.-Alsx. Gazette.

We learn from the report that, in 1854, 49,, BAT
persons were relieved by the authorities; and in
1855, 100000 The amount expended in 1854
was 81 ,l2l, 904. In 1855, $1,379,964. Increase
in one year, quarter of million Of dollars
The census Of this State, from 1881 to 1851, and
the pauper statistics during the same period show
the following startling results:
Increase Of population in 20 years 81 per cent.
Increase Of pauperism from annual
tables during the same period 706 per cent.
The report justly remarks
!" 1t is the duty of the State to take care of its
poor, but it may be questioned whether New York
should be made the poor-house of Europe, or be
forced to tighten the taxation of foreign countries
Whole towns and counties in Europe find it more
economical to pay for che transportation Of paupers
to our shores, than support them at home, and
hence deposite them in ship loads in our cities.
Our poor records and criminal statistics are used
by foreign historians at this day to prove that a
republican form of government, SO far equalizing
the means of subsistence and protecting property
and life is concerned, isa failure 1t is fearessly
asserted that taxation for the support Of the poor
is az oppressive in this country as in the monarch
les of the Old World. We owe It to ourselves and
our institutions to arrest this food Of paupersm
and crime that sets so constantly on our Shores"

ters at the University of Virginia, it is generally
conceded, will, at their session on the 26th of the
present month, divide the school Of ancient Ian
guages into two professorships, one of Latin and
one of Greek. There is probability that the la.
bors Of the school Of modern languages will also
be divided. One or two new professorships, par
ticularly that of History and English Literature,
will be established. The next session of the Board
of Visitors will also take into consideration the
propriety Of increasing the salaries of the PROBES
sors, which are now limited to $1,000.

THIRTY-FOURTH CONGRESS.
FIRST SESSION.
SENATE.
FRIpAY, May 23, 1856.


Mr. WILSON said that for the first time for five
years, his colleague was absent from his seat, and
that his absence was owing to an assaultupon him by
member of the Lower House from South Carolina,
when he was in his seat in the Senate chamber. 1t
was great offence against the constitution to as
sail Senator anywhere for words spoken in de-
bate, but how much greater crime it to assault
him while in his seat in the Senate chamber He
should leave it to older members of the body to
indicate the manner in which the Senate should
vindicate its wounded dignity
Mr.. SEWARD moved to appoint committee OF
five to investigate the matter and report upon the
facts in the case, and their opinion thereon
Mr.. MASON moved that the committee be elect
ed by the Senate; whereupon the Senate proceed
ed te elect as members of the committee, Senators
CAss, ALLEN, DoDGE, PEARcE, and GEYER.
Mr.. CASS said he would serve on condition he
was not made chairman Of the committee
Mr.. STEWART gave notice that he should, to-
morrow, or on some future day, introduce an
amendment to the rules of the Senate, by which
it should be considered out Of order for any Sena-
tor to use words in debate rejecting upon the con-
duct or motives of any Senator or any other State
than that represented by the Senator speaking.
A message was received from the President of
the United States, vetoing the bill to improve the
flats Of the st. Marys, together with his reasons
therefor.
Mr.. ALLEN, from the Committee on the Dis
trct of Columbia, reported unfavorably as to char
tering the Farmers and Mechanics Bank.
