SIates long discussion eTSued. during which
president Trcyellick said that in ali the islands
OF The Pacific Ocean where the Chinese IA ad
linmigrated he had never heard of one be-
coming a citizen. The marriage tie was not
observed, and the most shocking immortality
prevailed among them. Mr.. Whitney. of Chi

the bullet must. Mr.. Mclean defended
the right of free emigration and deGed the
charges Of immortality against the Chinese
MI Peters spoke in favor OF the report. He
SAID If II was necessary TO seem TO go against the
spirit OF our institutions in this matter he was
willing to do so. Mr.. McGuire, vt St. Louis
said that a war to the knife against the Chinese
was not in accordance with the principles OF
our government Nr. Merrill, of Caliior mia,
favored the repeal of the subsidy of $500 400 a
year TO the Chinese steamers between San Fran
cisco and China, which line brought the coolies
to America.

1The Interpretation in English of the names
of the German commanders is sufficiently curl
GUS. For instance, Steinmetz means q stone
cutter; Falkenstein, the falcon rock; and hence
Vogel Won Falkenstein, the bird of the falcon
rock; Manteufel. man devil, and Eulenburg. the
castle of owls. These names are gothic enough
for the dark ages.

BRUTAL MURDKR-Our community was
startled yesterday morning by the intelligence
that a brutal nun der had been committed about
five O'Clock the previous evening, At Middle
Sound, in this county. The victim a young
man about eighteen years old. by the name
OF Hiram Bishop, well known in this city.
The murderer is = co'ored boy by the name Of
George Cooper, also youth of about eighteen.
IL seems that there has been come misus-
derstanding existing between them for some
weeks past. and that Cooper has sought oppor-
tunities To squared with HIM, and even went
so far, on one occasion, as to endeavor to get
Bishop to meet him at some point away from
his friends, but the brother OF deceased pre-
vailed upon him not to crafty his wishes. On
yesterday afternoon they met at a Mrs. Wes-
colts, when the dispute between them was re-
newed. Finally Cooper went of and procured
an axe. Returning, the quarrel was resumed,
Cooper daring young Bishop to strike him. The
latter had small stick in his hand, with which
he finally struck his antagonist. which was no
sooner done than Cooper raised his axe and
struck Bishop on the head with st, infiicting q
wound from which he died shortly afterwards
The murderer has been Wilmington
