The following resolutions offered in
the Connecticut House of Representa-
dives, by Mr. Eaton, (Democrat.) q
faw dsvs since, werc laid on the table
by the Radical majority:
That there shall be reciprocity in the benefits
Z. 1A,tsfed by our government and that Of China
upon the citizens Of each.
That we dsapproye Of the importation nto this
country OF Chinese bondmen, by capitalists the
system being at war with free immigration by
people who seek our shores to escape oppression
at home; and greatly to the 'lctrinent of the
interests Of our own free lslorsrl-the labor Of
bondmen from China being sold ioi the bcncht Of
capitalists the men Themselves having no control
over the contracts tina. bind thcm to their tasks.
The disposition made of these reso-
lutions, by the Radicals of the Con-
necticnt House of Representatives,
is indicative of the attitude of that
party on the Chinese question. They
mean to sustain the manufacturers in
carrying on the coolic slave trade
which they have lately begun.

Ever since the fatal hour in which
Andrew johnson offended the radical
leaders by prcsuming to declare the
States restored to the Union
Congress has been engaged in what IS
called, in the parlancc Of tho "trooly
loil." the work cf rceenstruciion."
The history of the Congressional
process of re.moulding State govern
ments in the South is infamous in all
respects. There is not single re-
deeming feature in the whole job,
from tho rain of Tennessee By the
domagoguc Brownlow, to the sublu-
CATION Of Texas by the petty tyrant
Davis. But the treatment Of Georgia
caps the climax Of radical iaithlcss-
ness. The State was admitted to
representation in Congress in lS6S,on
the ratifcatian Of the Fourteenth
Amendment by her legislature. Her
representatives actually occupied
seats in tho House and no man doubt
cd that the Empire State of the South
was again, even according to the rad
ical doctrine, q member Of the Union
But Georgia sinned. She committed
the griovous wrong Of casting her
electoral vote for Seymour and Blair,
and added TO that the crime of reject
ing the Fifteenth Amendment. Pres
to she was kicked ont of the Union,
and has not been permitted to re en-
ter unto this day
1t is true that n bill has been passed
by Congress providing for the admis
sion of Georgia at some future day
But if her people should send a dem
ocratie delegation to Congress, what
assurance is there that she will not
again he denied Representations, that
some new pretext will not be found
to slam the congressional door in her
face Tho bill declaring the State
entitled to representation is so am

ton whether an election is TO be held

intentional on the part of Congress

cedcnts, an excuse will be found in
the uncertain character Of this act for
the continued exclusion Of The State
from tho Union. Radical Congress
men who voted for the bill, differ
among themselves as to its meaning
1t may, therefore, be concluded that
Georgia is as far from being restored
TO the Union as she was before Con
grcss assembled. The Stale is mere
