CHICAGO, August 23.-The National Labor
Congress re Assem- bled at nine O'clock this
morning. The question of negro labor was
taken up, and after some discussion was re.
committed 10 the committee The treasurer
presented his report, which was referred 10 a
special committee. A report from the com
mittee on public lands elicted lengthy and
spirited discussion, in which the members
gen er ally participated. The most important
/ feature OF the report is resolution that the
Government should give and not sell the pub ].
lie lands to actual settlers, and to no others.
The report was finally accepted. The report
OF the Committee on Labor Organization was
next taken up, and adopted, after being sllgn, ,!y
amended. The COMMITTEE on Apprentice La
hcr presented a series Of resolutions looking to
the passage OF laws by the Legislatures regu-
lating the relations of employers and apprenti-
ces, and for the protection of the rights OF both
parties The report was adopted.

A CASE INVOLVING INTERNATIONAL LAW.
A case OF considerable interest came before
Judge Underwood last week, at Richmoai 4,
Va. 1t appears that q colored nan presented
himself at the office of a steamship company
in that city. asking first-class passage for New
York. for which he advanced full fare. The
agent peremptorily refused him, because of
his color. The colored m IN then went to Gen
Schofeld to seek redress, who referred him to
Judge Underwood, then holding court He
went before the Judge, explained his case,
and stated further that he was a native and
resident OF Canada. and consequently a sab
lact OF Her Most Gracious Majesty, Queen
Victoria. Upon learning this i'm portant fac t
the Judges declined to interfere in the matter,
advising the applicant for his rights to lay the
case before the British Consul. That OH cial
existing only in imaPination at Richmond
since his expulsion by he rebel authorities,
the Canadian will proceed to Washington
with view to obtain from the British Minis
ter what he has been denied elsewhere. This
Will probably result in q diplomatic CORES
Pondence, which may establish the right of q
coiored Britisu subject TO travel by any con.
veysnce that he may think proper, providing
he is able TO pay.
