TIE DEPOT AULs.iNC'E-

y common complaint here is the
manner in which number of colorcd
boys behave themselves during the
stoppagc of shc night trains at the
dcIoi. hey make practice Of
rushing through the coaches, in> ut
ting ladies and uttcring the while the
most obscene and beustl, language.
The Agent has frequently cndcavor-
ed to stop this disgrace, but not hav-
ing had the cooperation Of the mar
slals, lie has failed 50 far to abatc
this tblnckcst Of nuisanccs. In the
name of the families residing near
the depot; in the name Of civiliza-
ton, and that desire which we all
have for the protection of females
from insult, We demand that mar
shal be placed at the Railroad who
will perform the duties of that office
without fear or favor. It is a shame
and n libel upon Orangeburg to have
rowdics and blackgrards constantly
on the alert at the Railroad for the
purpose Of insulting passers-by. IF
this nUfice is not needed, the com
puny will doubtless make Il formal
complaint to the Council.

bill to restrict the immigration of Chinese to
the United States forbds the master of any
vessel owned in whole or in part by citizen
of the United States, or by a citizen of any
foreign country, to take on board at any Chi
nese or other port more than ten Chinese pas
sengers, male or female, with the intent of
bringing them to the United States. 1t makes
the violation of this should it become law
a misdemeanor punishable by fine of one
hundred dollars and Imprisonment not ex-
ceeding six months, for every passenger ez-
ceeding ten. The bill also requires the mas

from foreign country to report to. the col.
lector of the district in which the vessel shall
arrive, a separate list of all Chinese passen-
gers taken on board the vessel at any foreign
port, and of all such passengers on board at

that informers shall be entitled to one-half of
any penalty or fine collected under the pro-
visions Of the act upon their information.

The work before Congress.
IN. Y. IIernld.l

WAsH1NaToN Dec t2.-The mere important
committees of the House have. got SO lar in
their work that business begins to fall into
form and order, and the real work OF the ses-
sion will commence after the holiday recess
Tho committee having in charge the consid-
GRAFTON of some better way OF ascertainlng
and declaring the vote for President ana vice
President was authorized this afternoon TO
consider also the manner of eeCting D Presi-
dent and the duration Of the presidential
term. Thus the whole matter Is now before
this important committee, which will make q
complete report. with recommendations prob
ably In January. and perhaps IN time TO get a
constitutional amendment before the State
Legislatures during the winter. For the
present. however, the silver and ant-resump-
ton questions and the quarrel between the
President and his party cause this vitality I'M
portant and necessary amendment to be over
looked.
The Appropriation Committee proposes to
more strictly classify the appropriations. 50
as to give the House a more easily intellig-
BILE view of them. For instance, IT VII bring
in all expenditures for the District of Column
bia in single bill, in order that whatever IL
apnropriated for the District may be seen at
once. There is also disposition in the House
to call on the District of Columbia Commit
tee for ia report Con the proper relations
between the Federal government and the DIS
trict, and bill which sha III establish these on
a firm foundation. This is much needed, and
ii II is properly done will have an important
effect upon the prosperity OF the DlsJrlct anu
the comfort of It's inhabitants
The Levee Committee has before II two
plans for the Improvement Of the Missis-
sippi--one that of the government commits
sion under Gen. Humphreys, the other one
proposed by Capt. Eads, who wishes to apply
his system of faggots, which is now deepen
ing one Of the passes to the waters above,
narrowing the bed gradually and causing, the
river to scour 1t out The plan of Capt Eads
Is asserted to be much the most economical.
There Is an important movement on foot for
a bill applying the product of the cotton tax
to the ieveeing of the Mississippi. About
100000, 600 were realized by thus tax IN the
two or three years after the war. Many
efforts have been made during the last two OF
three Congresses to have this tax refunded
on the ground that its collection was uncon
stitutional. The proposition now made tt
apply the sum it yielded to the leveeing the
river will, it Is evident, meet with strong sup
port in the House.
