in the consideration of the case of T. G.
Gibbs, nominated for the Portsmouth,, Ohio,
Postmastership. The trouble in this case
was that the present incumbent, Mrs. Adair,
whose husband was cousin Of Ex-Presi-
dent Grant, was killed in a battle with the
Indians, and whose commission was about
to expire, wished TO be reappointed. She
had filled the office acceptably, and her
papers were strongly indorsed There were,
however, six other applicants for the place,
three ladies and three gentlemen, all OF
whom presented applications web indorsed.
Among them were Captain T. C. Gibbs, an
old war companion of President Hayes,
who at the battle of Winchester had distin-
guished himself by his great gallantry in
the management OF a battery, which he
placed in position nine times, and at last
brought safely off the field.
President Hayes appointed his old com
rade, but, on account of the clamor raised
by the friends of Mrs. Adair, expressed a
wish that the Senate suspend action on the
nomination. Subsequently the President
ann. .,unced that he would stick to Mr.
Gibbs: nd thus it came that yesterday,
after the President had been sonndly be-
rated by several Senators for his inconsis-
tency in the administration of the civil
service policy, the nomination was con-
firned. The case OF Governor Parsons
nominated for the Alabama MarShalship
which came up AS unfinished business, was
laid over until Tuesday.

Conkling to Create Another sensa-
tion.
New YoRK, March 7.-The Telegram S
Washington special says that some
of the Democrats have got the
story that Conkling is pretty near ready to
make q sensational speech in the Senate, in
which he will review and expose. the meth.
DDS by which the votes of Louisiana and
Florida were secured for Hayes. These rtl-
mors bear marked similarity to rumors
that were current during the Electoral
count in the early months of 1877, when ii
was believed by many Democrats that
Conkling was on the point of making a
move that would defeat the efforts Of
Hayes friends to get him into the White
House.
It is certain that some prominent Demo
Gratis in the Senate, with whom Conkling is
on very intimate relations, are counting
upon fresh developments of hostility anC
antagonisln to the administration, in which
Conkling will take the lead.

TIE CHINESE QUESTION.

SpPC1ol TO Lne Star
TIE CHINESE QUESTION.
WASHINGTON, March Mr. Sargent de-
livered lengthy and carefully prepared
speech in the Senate to-day, on the question
of Chinese immigration, in answer to the
document presented in the Senate, styled
an argument Of Joseph c. G. Kennedy, an
advocate of unrestricted dimmigration of Chi
nese, and whom Mr.. Sargent characterized as
q lobbyist in the interest of the grand slave
masters of the Pacific, called the Six Chi
nese Companies.
Chinese immigration, he said, presents in
California present evil as great as any
that ever held to slavery in the South.
He denied that by the treaty between
the United States and China Con-
gress has no power to pass laws restrict
ing and regulating the immigration Of
Chinese, and quoted authorities in support
of his argument, and also to show that
Congress has the power to alter or abrogate
any treaty.
He referred to the rapid increase in Chi
nese population of California, to the fears
of an influx from the famine-stricken dis
tricts of China and said that the vast ma
jority of the people of California believe
that this dangerous flood impedes the pros
perity of California and that it is only
question of time, unless Congress takes
some action for the protection of that State,
when the State will become, to all intents
and purposes, mere province of China.
He claimed that the character of this i'm
migration was in contravention of the spirit
of our Republican form of Government.
The Chinese fulfill none of the requisites of
immigration which our laws are designed to
encourage. He referred at length to their
habits, tastes, mode of life, worship, &C., as
rendering them a totally distinct mass in
the community The Chinese labor ques-
ton was also referred to, and compared
with the slave labor of the South
Mr.. Sargent argued that this new Chinese
labor is the new slavery of America; it will
drive out free labor. He quoted extensively
from the opinions and convictions of per-
sons who have studied the Chinese question:
from reports of investigations upon the
subject. and from newspaper articles to
show the evil effects of Chinese immigra-
ton =.
