The California Legislature has resolved
to request the Secretary of State to call
the attention of the British Government
to the matter, for the purpose of securing
better police regulations at the British
ports of China, and has also requested its
Senators and Representatives. to procure
the passage of a law forbidding any Ame-
rican vessel to bring from China to this
country any alien passenger who has not
our ConsuPs passpart. The Consul is tobe
forbidden to issue passport to any Asiatic
female, unless she is accompanied by her
husband or father, or gives other satisfac-
tory evidence of good character. This
proposed plan is with view to stop the
prostitution business so largely carried on
by Chinese companies. Last year l,l56
Chinese females were landed at San Fran
cisco, and almost without exception for
purposes of prostitution, and many OF
them kidnapped from their homes.

THERE is a marked increase in the num-
Der of emigrants from Europe, and now
the cable says that ten large steamers,
carrying in the aggregate nearly six thou
sand more emigrants, are on their way
across the Atlantic. This great increase
is due, among other causes, partly to the
passage Of the Irish Force bill, and partly
to the extension of the Prussian system
of military service over the smaller States
of the North German Union. The Irish
find Ireland a more unpleasant home than
ever, and the people of Hanover, Saxony
and Baden are not pleased at the necessi-
ty of spending the best years of their life
in the service of the King of Prussia.

CONGRESS.

The Georgia bill, with Mr.. Pomeroy's
amendment, passed the United States
Senate at the close of the protracted ses-
sion of Tuesday night, last week, by a
vote of 81 to %. The Democrats present
did not vote, but the extreme Radicals all
voted in the negative The bill, as amend
ed, turns the State over to military rule
again, and requires an election for a new
Legislature in November next. 1t also
virtually defeats the plans of the Bullock
carpet-baggers to perpetuate their power.
The bill was returned to the House of Re-
presentatives Thursday, and on motion of
Mr. Butler was referred to the Reconstruc-
ton Committee. A substitute by Mr..
Logan, providing for an election in No
vember, and declaring the State entitled
to an immediate representation in Con-
gress, was referred to the same commit
tee. The Senate during the entire session
Thursday debated the Northern Pacific
Railroad job. The lobby was in full force,
and the friends of the bill voted down ev-
cry amendment. In the House Mr.. Paine
introduced bill to reduce the duties on
imports ten per cent. The contested cleo
ton case of Sypher (Rad) against St.
Martin Dem.) was taken up, and the
House, by a strict partizan vote, passed
the resolution to admit Sypher, notwith-
standing that he was defeated by the peo-
pie by over 10000 majority. Just as Mr..
Sypher was advancing to the Speakers
desk TO take the oath, Mr.. Brooks, of
New York, arose and objected, on the
ground that a bargain had been made
with Sypher by the iron interest of Penn
sylvania to have his vote on that side.
The announcement fell like thunder-clap
on the western free-trade Radicals. A
motion to reconsider the admission of
Sypher was carried by vote of s5 to 70,
and substitute adopted declaring the
election in the First District of Louisiana
invalid After this grand defeat of the
carpet-baggers the House adjourned
