when it is made the object for the laborer to
work for you. So far as his experience went,
which had been large, it made no difference
whether that labor was white or black. He
had one hundred black laborers working for
him, and he would not exchange them for any
white labor. He had taken them North and
brought them back again. He tried to make
it an object for them to work for him. de
liked the colored man as laborer, and be-
lieved that he could be made useful. 1t was
too much the habit to think that things that
come from abroad were better than those
found right at our doors. In this regard he
believed that the colored laborer could be
made of the greatest benefit. He would
make the colored laborer, as far as possible, a
taxpayer, and then he will feel the burden of
taxation.
He urged the convention not to be too hasty
in regard to immigration and bring in more
paupers than there were now here. He urged
the avoidance of all political schemes in the
action of the convention, and hoped that only
the one question of taxation would be con-
sidered. What can be done for relief?-that
is the only one question.
Mr.. j. M. Penceel, colored, followed in the
same strain, and argued that we should not
favor immigration at the expense of the COL
ored people, who are anxious to put down tax
alton.
Mr.. Noise sustained the report of the com.
mittee.
Mr.. Chat6eld then rose to personal ex.
planation, and stated that he was not opposed
to immigration, but wished to exclude discus.
sions in reference to questions of conflict OF
races.
Mr.. Richardson, of Sumter, supported the
report, but only on the ground of material de.
velopment, and was not in favor of alternating
those who might be our friends.
Mr.. Williams and Mr.. Trenholm followed
in the same spirit.
Gen. Butler asked to have the report read
again; which was ordered.
On motion of Mr.. Richardson, the Presi.
dent proceeded to put the question.

General Butler and Judge White of
Alabama, having been appointed n
subcommittee on two bills heretofore
introduced in the House and referred
to the Committee on Judiciary, to
abolish the test ironclad oath in all
cases where it is now required by law,
have prepared report upon the sub
ject which they will submit to the full

be no doubt but that a majority of the
House are in favor of its abolition.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 49,
The Committee on Civil Service Re-

late the appointments in the EXecu-

ute the appointments among members
Of Congress. On the existing principle
of the Government appointments to
West Point and the Naval Academy,
the committee will subsequently pro-
pose general law on the subject.
