On motion of Mr.. Grinnell, Of Iowa, it was
resolved that the Select Committee on Recon
struction be instructed to inquire into the ex
pediency OF providing by law for taking cen,
sus of the United States during the year 1866,
and report by bill or otherwise.
The House proceeded to the consideration
of the proposed amendment to the Constitu
ton of the United States, in relation to the
apportionment of rep esentation and drec,
taxes.
Mr.. Jenckes, of r. l., suggested that the
amendment said nothing about property
qualification. South Carolina, for instance
might require qualification of fifty acres Of
land, or the payment of tax There would
that State, yet the basis of representation
would he the same.
Mr. Stevens, Of Pa, replied that, no matter
whether the State cut out white or black,
representation would be diminished to that
extent
Mr. Farnsworth of Ill. But suppose the
black man does not own real estate
Mr.. Stevens Then the amendment ope-
rates.
Mr.. Brooks, of N. Y, wished to know
whether the 100000 Asiatics or Coolies in
California and Oregon, and those who are
going into Nevada and the Territories nre ex
cluded
Mr.. Stevens replied that he understood the
tAsiatics are excluded by the laws of Calfor
mia on account Of their race from the elective
franchise. Therefore, That State, to this ex
tent, wonld be curtailed Of representation. ;
Mr.. Brooks asked why exclude the Indian

"SUpposE HE SHOULD RUST Up"-A No
BILE LonD.-L was highly amused by story
told by tho Captain concerning Lord Grovcns.
or, who was among his passengers some time
since. This noblcman is the eldest son aud
heir of the Marquis of Westminster, whose
fortune is enormous, and said to produce the
immense income Of .ci50,000 per annum He
is highly intelligent, and the variety and depth
of his information would be considered great
even for q commoncr. He has travelled cx-
tcnsive'y in all parts Of the world and it is
not long since he returned from long tour
in the United States. While at the West hc
was one day waiting at a country station for a
tardy train, when ono Of the farmers of the
ncighborhood entered into conversation with
him. " Been about these parts consid able,

'sposc the old man should die 2" "In that
case dare say he'd leave me enough to live
upon" But 'spose he should bust up?"
Here the conversation ended, and Lord Gros-
venor walked away, evidently struck by new
idea, and one which had ncvor been SO forci-
bly, presented to him until now
CHARITY Charity embraces the wide cir

is charity; your smiling in your brothers. face
is charity; an exhortation of your fclow-man
to virtuous deeds is equal to alnlsgiving; your
putting wanderer in the right road is chari.

moving stones and thorns from the road is
charity; your giving water to the thirsty is
charity. A mans good wealth hereafter is
