A Readable Debate in Congress.

On Tuesday, when Mr. Morrill, had offered
resolution to appropriate twenty-five thou,
sand dollars to the destitute negroes in the
District Of Columbia:
Mr.. Salisbury offered an amendment an
propriating like sum for the re- lief of the
destitute white peOp.c of the District, to be
appropriated under the direction of the Mayor
OF Washington.
Mr.. Morrill, said no appeal had been made
to the committee liz behalf Of the poor white
people Of the District, and he thought the
Senator Was paying Il very poor compliment
to them to ask for such an appropriation -
The poverty and helplcs>ncss of these poor
coIOred people was we'll known. lie would
suggest to the Senator to Withdraw his amend
mCut.
Mr.. Salisbury said that he had no doubt that
there were hundreds aud thousands Of poor
co!0red people i'll the District, but he never
walked Pennsylvania avenue that lie Was not
SolIctcd by poor little wii,c girls and bows
Tor aims. There were thousands of whites
in the District to day who were lust as helm
less as the blacks. We were told that when
slavery was abolished in this District it was
to be converted into a paradise 4 very
graphic picture Of That paradise has Just been
drawn by the Senator from Marie, Mr.. Nor
rill. lie did not see so much restitution
among the negroes Of the district Day after
day. when he IooHcd up into these galleries,
he saw hale hearty young cOlOred men view
Ing the proceedings. And how few poor
white men athletic do that All lie asked
was that the same feeling Of humanity should
be isp!ayed towards our own race as towards
the negro.
Mr.. Wiley suggested to the Senator from
nnl., tl,,,t - .,,s i
strike out the word ro!Ored. so as to leave the
appropriation to be divided amongst all des
titute people.
Mr.. salisbury declined to withdraw his
amendment. If the money was to be cx-
pended under the direction OF the Mayor Of
Washington, he would have no objection =;
but every one knew that if the Commissioner
OF the Freedmcn's Bureau had the disposal of
it, none but negroes would receive any por-
ton OF it. The amendment was lost
Mr.. Wiley moved to amend by striking
odt the word - colored from the resolution;
which was agreed to.
Mr.. Davis offered an amendment as an ad-
ditiopal section. that the corporate autliori-
ties of the District be authorized to fiud
proper emplo, mcnt for the able bodied col
ored and black persons, and that five thou
sard dollars be appropriated for such purpose.
Mr.. KirkwOod ufovcd to strike out the word
black" lie did not sec why white people
should not work as we'll as black. laugh
ter Adopted.
Mr.. Nesnith moved an amendment so as
to exclude members of Congress from those
for whom the city authorities shall find en-
p!oyment. Laughtcr.]
Mr.. Nrsmths and Mr. Davis amendments
were lost. After which, the appropriation
was passed.
