Coming 10 their Senses.

A dispatch from Nashville, Ten
nessee, states that the Colored Con-
vention was in session there over four
hours yesterday. The attendance by
spectators, both white and colored,
was very large, the galleries and
lobbies of the House of Representa-
tives being packed to their full Ca j.
pacity. The Committee on Reso-
lutions has not yet been able to agree.
The proceedings were unimportant,
except two speeches from Pinchback
and Smith of Alabama. Pinchback
did not take the new departure
but his speech had "a strong flavor of
independence. He said the colored
people are beginning to think for
themselves, and will never again vote
the Radical TICKET solid as heretofore.
The South could never prosper while
party lines are race lines. He wanted
no more color lines in politics, but
division of parties on other than race
lines. SenatorC. S. Smith followed
Pinchback, making a powerful speech
i'm favor of the new departure. He
advised the blacks no longer to remain
in the Radical party, but make terms
with their white Southern friends, and
hereafter to vote for honest and COM
petant men, without reference to
party. The speech made profound
impression, and was received with
great applause by whites and blacks.
There is a strong element in the
Convention in favor of this departure,
and caucusing was very brisk.

SAN FRANcIsco, March 90, 1876.
A suit was entered in the Nineteenth
District Court Thursday last by John
Bradley against j. R. Keene, John W.
Pearson and Geo. W. Roberts, which
possesses some singular features.
Bradley states that about the middle of
last October, he, with defendants,
formed pool for the purchase of Co.,
900 shares of Woodville stock, which
some dissatisfied stockholders were in
vsstigating. The stock was purchased
for two dollars and twelve and half
cents per share, and the 10000 shares
were represented by the Pearson wing.
thus defeating the ends of the invssti-
cation. This manipulation ran the
stock up to nine dollars, and it was
thought advisable to sell, the Justice
Mining Company wanting to purchase.
This negotiation was managed by
Keene, who shortly reported to his
partners that he had sold the stock
to the Justice at eight dollars per share,
receiving in payment the note of the
company for S4S0. 900 and 5. 200 shares of
Justice stock at $25 per share. This
stock was divided among the four
Bradley, Roberts and Pearson each
taking 1000 shares, and paying Keene
$4,000 therefor. Now Bradley al
lsges that Keens actually received 10,-
600 shares of Justice for a nominal
sum, and appropriated to his own use
5000 not reported to the other mem
bers of the pool. and this suit has been
brought to recover his share of
the 5000, or its equivalent, together
with the $4,000 be paid to Keene.
Bradley has been informed that Keens' s
extra 5000 shares were sold at from
$45 to $50 per share.
1t is reported, and even admitted
by Jack McKenty that he was one of
the unfortunates who sold calls on
Jacket last week, and had to fill on
Saturday. jack says there is little
margin left yet on-his seat.

CHINESE ImMrGRArroN.

The citizens of San francisco, be-
coming alarmed at the influx of Ihi-
nese to this coast are taking steps to
suppress Chinese immigration. The
property holders and business men of
the city are taking the lead in the mat
ter ana have called the attention of the
authorities to the great and growing
evil The Board of Supervisors APP
pointed committee of twelve to call a
mass meeting for an expression of
sentiment on the question and to adopt
measures for the amendment OF the
Burlingame Treaty. The committee of
twelve held meeting and decided to
hold mass meeting next Saturday.
The following address was adopted.
To the people of the Pacific Coast:
The committee appointed by the public
authorities of the city of San Francis
co, to take into consideration the evil of
Chinese immigration and matters of re-
lief pertinent thereto, bslisve that every
substantial interest of the people of the
Pacific Coast is jeopardissd by that
unrestricted immigration; that the time
is approaching when, if the evil oontin-
ues unchecked. they will find them
selves driven from their vocations and
thrust from their fresides by the in
creasing immigration flowing from
China; that the evil has already grown
to such proportions as to endanger the
public peace and to imperil the Sc
curity of life and property; and that
steadily growing to more and more
alarming proportions, the evil threatens
not only the peace and prosperity of
the Pacific Coast, but, ultimately, the
best interests of the whole country
The committee also appreciate that the
only adequate relief for this vast and
overshadowing evil is to be had through
interposition of the National Govern
ment, brought about by such earnest
expression of public opinion from all
parts Of the coast, as will carry to
Washington conviction of the imper-
alive necessity of the relief demanded.
The Committee. therefore, in dis
charge of the duties committed to
them. urgently recommend that the
people in every town, village and ham
let, throughout the coast, move in CO.
operation id their respective districts,
to give early expression of their feel
ings on this subject, by the passage of
suitabls resolutions, 10 be forwarded
without delay to this Committee.

THE NEW INDIAN POLICY.

The bill to transfer the Indian bu-

that after the LIST Of July next the Sec
rotary of War shall possess the juris-
diction now exercised and possessed
by the Secretary ID the Interior in re-
lation to Indian affairs that he shall
from time to time make details of
army officers to administer the affairs
of the Indian branch of the war de-
partment that the commanding off,
GERS of the geographical department
shall be in charge OF Indian affairs in
their departments, and shall make de-
tails of officers, including officers on the
retired list, to administer affairs over
the Indian service, and the inspector
general of the army shall discharge
the duties of inspector of Indian af-
fairs. The act is not to be construed
to authorize an increase in the num-
Der, rank, pay or allowances of army
officers; All contracts for Indian sup.
plies and transportations are to be
made in the same manner and at the
same time, where practicable, as those
for the army. All religious denomina-
lions are to enjoy a free. and equal
right to erect and maintain church

TREASURY CLERKS.

By an amendment to the sundry civil
appropriation bill, passed a year ago,
it was provided ''that on and after
January lst, 1876. the appointments Of
this 1.-THE treasury department shall be
so arranged rs to be equally distributed
between the several States of the
United States, territories, and the Dis
trict of Columbia, according to popula-
tion.' The whole number of names
now on the register of the treasury
department is 2,506, and the basis of
the apportionment is the ratio of 2,4OO
employees (which is greater than the
average number will be in the future)
to 38,558,37l, the total population Of
the United States at the time the last
census was made. Reduced, the ratio
gives one appointment to $4,000 of
population, and under the new appor-
tionment Minnesota will gain five ap-
pointees, Iowa forty-one, and Wiscon-
sin twenty-fou.
1t may not be advisable to rush for
ward to the positions to be filled, how
ever, for at the beginning of the next
fiscal year a large reduction will be
made in the clerical force of the treas
ury department, which will render
necessary the discharge of several hum
dred of the present employees. The
amount of this reduction will depend
upon the action which Congress finally
takes on the appropriation bill now
pending in the House: and the interest
ing question arises whether, in dis
charging clerks from the treasury de-
partment, the secretary will be re-
quired, by the law already referred to,
to select for dismissal first. clerks
from those States which already have
an excess of patronage, or whether he
may be guided by other consider
atoms.

Savanna took up stream on Tuesday
night, was about five hundred tons Of
Montana freight going by the North
ern Pacific road to Bismarck, and
thence by teams overland to it's desti-
nation. Bis freight has hitherto gone
up the Missouri river from St. Louis,
and the natural inference from it's di-
version to the upper Mississippi route
is that a better rate is offered. There
is a strong probability of the Savan
ma going through lake Pepin to-day,

to do so, the Montana freight was to
