Mr.. HoAR's BILL PASSED.
The house this afternoon passed Mr. Hoars
bill for the appointment Of labor commission,
but it was amended in several particulars. One
amendment limits the time ior the commission
10 report TO one year. Another provides that
one member Ol the commission shall he a repre-
sentative Of the working interest, and another
that thelcommissioners shall be selected without
reference to partizau or political influence.
During the discussion iMr Biggs, of Delaware,
lacking ability to make better argument, -
proceeded to assail Massachusetts and to make
very wild statements about the condition of fac
tory employees and other labor CLASSES there
He was replied TO by Mr. Hoar who showed that
Massachusetts had, long ago taken measures to
ameliorate the condition Of her laborng classes
and he retored by an allusion to the whipping
post which Delaware refused to abolish
AMNESTY AND civil RIGHTS
Mr., Robertson got up his amnesty bill, and
MessTs. Buckingham aud Stewart made iavora-
bic remarks thereon. Mr.. Sumner offered, as
an amendment to the bill, his standing equal
rights proposition, which developed an amusing
passage between himself and Mr.. Hill Of Geor-
gia, The latter regarded this proposition as in
reference with the social rights and customs OF
the southern people, and stuck to this assump.

Mr.. Alcon, the newly elected senator from

behalf of amnesty. 1t was fine effort, and
confirmed the previous prepossessions in his
favor. Before adjournment, this evening, ii
was agreed that the vote should be taken at foui

Roberson's bill will pass, but Mr.. Summers

The plan Of allowing the boys committed TO the

In attending to all the complaints which come

who will not attend, the superintendent thinks
there is more work than one officer can per
form, although it has been well looked after
during the past year, Two hundred and forty

ancy have been assigned to schools according
to law. Forty-fye persistent truants have been

There had been no epidemic sickness during
the year, or particular scarcity of labor to in
crease the number of paupers; but as the ize
of the city Increases, Of course the number OF
poor corresponds. There has been very no
ticeabe increase OF applicants from among
those having military settlements, over those OF
former years; and the number supported by the
city at the State Lunatic Asylum-flteen-is
three times as great as that of last year.
The number having a legal settlement in
Worcester to whom full support has been
given during the year, is 80; average num-
Der supported at the city farm, AZ; number re-
moved to their place OF legal settlement, 45;
number Of state paupers sent to the Monsoon
almshousc, 81, which is some less then last
year. Temporary aid has been given to 291
