Alr. Norwood, the meW Senator from
Georgia, spoke Tor the 1irst time, and made
a very favorable impression. His remarks
were brief and incisiye. lie pointed out
provisions i'll the Sumner amendment,
showing up its odiOuS features and its uIl-
cOnStitutiOna1ity more plainly than has yet
been done. Its utter annihilation OF almost
all OF the few rights left to the States was
clearly perceived by the ANALYSIS of Mr.
Norwood. ..f...-
In the course Of his remarks, Mr.. Nor
wood mentioned that, amongst other eff
ding marriages between whites and blacks.
This led Messrs. Pomeroy and Wilson, to
promulgate their miscegenationz .iOctIilIes
They wanted all such laws wiped out, and
people left to follow their own incliHationS
Mr.. Wilson, who, Il lew weeks ago, felt in
such liberal frame OF mind thai lie want
ed the amnesty bill passed without any
amendment, now advocates his colleague 5
amendment, which he well knows is its
death blow. The fact is, this gentlemau
has had his head turned by vision, Of the
Vice Presidents chair, and between now
and the meeting OF the Republicans Conven-

Mr.. Anthony took the occasion 10 give in
his adhesion to AIT. Summers amendment,

Mr.. Sumner once more rushed into the
breach with his correspondence. He
read letters from the East Indies
on the question OF caste, whose relevancy
to the subject no one but himself coui
see. If Mr.. Summer will take ii little inl-
vice, kindly meant, lie will be warned cin

as he, have, by giving up their minds en-
tirely to one idea, dritted into insanity. and
