utes from New Orleans
to 81. Louis.
FASTEST TIME EVER MADE

After the greatest difficulty in getting
a word by telegraph in regard to the
great boat race between the R. E. Lee
and Natchez, at late hour last night
we received the following. The night
operator at the Wheeling Office has our
thanks for his courtesy in getting and
the operator at Pittsburg for his kind
ness in sending the following. We are
of opinion that the managers of the
Western Union Line would find it to
their advantage to send the accounts OF
such events in their regular dispatches,
even though they were obliged to omit
the announcement of the death Of John
Smith or some other eminent citizen of
Boston occasionally.
1t will be seen that the Lee beat the
fast time made bv the Natchez some
days since, three hours and fortv-four
minutes, and the great time OF the old
j. NJ. White four hours and fifty-fve
minutes, making the fastest time on
record. We append the dispatch re-
ceived from the Pittsburgh office:

The naturalization bill was taken up,
and Mr.. Summers amendment, striking

laws having been adopted, the question
was upon Mr.. Williams amendment to
exclude the Chinese from its benefits
Mr.. Stewart continued his remarks
against placing the Chinese upon an
equal footing with other foreigners.

their rights, he would never sanction

Mr.. Sumner declined 10 Withdraw his
amendment. He read from the New
Testament relative TO Peter denying his
Master, and remarked that the Repub-
lican Senator, meaning Mr.. Stewart,
had thrice denied the principles of the

Mr.. Williams contended that the Dec

heathen or Oriental races TO be allowed
equal political rights under our laws.
He regarded the powers under that III
strument foolish, and that Its authors
had declared all men created equal,
but they also declared it was the right
and duty of the nation so to organize

likely to effectitS safety and happiness.
Mr. Williams then made lengthy ar
