Tnc UouventIOn-Even Session.
SACRAMENTO, Dec. 9.-The Con-
veption reassembled at O'clock,
Larkin in the Chair.
Barbour, White and Howard sew
orally rose to questions of privilege
upon the correspondence in san
Francisco paper insinuating that
the railroad company was the real
author of the section in article one
on railroads establishing the pro-
jected Commission. They all de-
MED the imputation contained IN
the correspondence.
O'Donaell next claimed the at
tention of the Convention on the
Chronicles attack upon him, de-
nouncing the managers OF that con-
Germ as common libellers.
The Convention then went into
Committee of tho Whole on the ar.
ticle on the Chinese.
Ayers offered o verbal amend.
ment to the first section, striking
out certain words authorizing the
Legislature to pass laws on TINS
subject and making it mandatory
upon them to do so.
Col. Stuart, of Sonoma, next ad-
dressed the Convention. lie stated
that he had lived nearly twenty
wears in California. During thai
time he had been engaged In farm
ing and hal brought up large
family. Col. Stuart stated that all
the sectious in the article were to-
tally unfit to be inserted In any
constitution. They were contrary
to the Constitution of the United
States. He believed that the
farmers. tue producers, wanted the
Cinnamon to cook ana become
hewers of wood and drawers OF
water. He considered that the Chi
namsp had helped 10 develop the
State. They were invited TO come
to the State and treaties were
made in support of such invitation.
At that time the colored contra
band was the disturbing element in
politics; now it is the Chinese. lie
had em ployed hundreds aud thou
sands of men in his time, Chinese
and whites included. The idea
that the Anglo-American was
going to be driven out by the
Chinese is absurd. One white
man ia worth two Cinnamon,
one Chinaman Is worth Two
negroes, but one negro WAS worth
two tramps. If he was in con-
vention of the United States he
would like to change the ndturali-
zation laws so as not to have 80
many men tramping the country.
White, of Santa Cruz, as farmer
in the Pajaro valley, denied that
the farmers were in favor of Chi.
nese migration. He had worked
as a farmer for twenty-five years
and had never employed China
men. He denied that the tramps
were as described by Stuart. He
had never found q white man who
had refused work when offered it.
He had found it cheaper to en-
ploy white labor over Chinese.
There were no servant girls in Cal
ifornia, like ten years ago, because
their places had all been taken by
Chinese. The employment officers
in San Francisco stated that white
girls would not come here.
O'Sullivau, as an American
born in ireland, protested against
the abuse OF tramps. There were
as good men tramping in Calitor'
MIA as occupied seats in this Con-
vention.
Lindower and Vacquerel followed
protesting against Chinese immi.
