NASHVILLE, May San unusually large
assemblage attended the National Colored

was spent in the presentation OF resolutions
for reference to committees. A resolution
was adopted accepting the tender by Gene
eral b. T. Butler TO donate 10000 acres of
land, and by Senator Chandler OF homes
for 100 families.
Reports were adopted recommending
State legislatures to enforce public educa-
ton, and declaring that separate schools are
highly detrimental to the interests Of both
races, but that where they do exist colored
teachers should be employed in preference
to white teachers.
The conference memorialiZe Congress to
place in the hands OF board Of regents
100000, the amount OF unclaimed bounty
OF colorel soldiers and sailors OF the Fede-
raj army and navy during the late war, tue
same to be used in establishing and muir-
tanning an industrial and technical school
for coored youth in the unoccupied build
ings at Harpcr's Ferry, or Mt other places
OF easy access.
The report OF the Committee on Perma-
nent Organization, reciting the constitution
OF the American Protective Society to pre-
vent injustice to colored people, was read.
The objects Of the Society are declared to
be to foster national union; protect pri-
yate and political rights; to .facilitateledu-
cation and moral improvement; to encour-
AGE agricultural and business capacity; to
encourage the purchase OF agricultural
land. and removal from all States wherethe
colored people are upjustly treated, and to
improve sanitary relations among the COL
ored people. Reports fayorins emigration
from the South, and asking for an appro-
priat,on OF hall a million dollars for that
purpose, were adopted.

caIifornia's New Constitution.

SAN FRANCISCO. May S.-The official re-
turns of the vote in this city give 4 majority
against the new Constitution OF 1,215.
Returns from the interior confirm pre-
vious advices, and show that the in
strument is adopted by from six TO
ten thousand majority. The farmers seem
to have voted almost solid!y for it. The re-
suit causes much bitterness Of feeling in
business circles, where it is looked upon to
a considerable extent as an attack upon the
city's interest by the interior.

cotton made than ever before. and more

The Senate resumed the consideration of
House, bill prohibiting military interference
1t electouS.
Mr. Morgan, OF Alabama, advc Gated its
passage, arguing that the trainers OF the
Constitution, with view to the preserva-
ton OF public liberty, drew 4 broad dis
tinction between the regular army and mi
litia, and that the latter should be employed
to enforce the laws.
Mr.. Morgan spoke for three hours and a
half. ,.....t
Mr.. Edmunds will speak tomorrow.
ROUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,
The bill to enforce the eight-hour law
was taken up as the business Of the morn
ing hour.
Mr.. Kelly, OF Pennsylvania, argued that
so long as that law was unrepeuled every
workingman in the Government employ
ment who was forced to work ten hours for
a days wages was defrauded OF his legal
rights; but the condition Of things since
the passage of that law had changed greatly.
Now capital could not find safe and profita
BILE employment in productive Industries,
and labor was starving. The condition of
the world in that respect was pitiablc. II
the theory that this was due to an over pro-
duction were true (Which he denied), then
in Gods name let over production be stop
ped.
After short debate the bill for the en-
forcement Of the eight-hour law was laid
on the table by a vote OF 103 TO So.
A motion toreconsider the vote by which
the eight-hour bill was laid on the table was
rejected by 1877 to 81, thus effectually kill
ing the bill r....... s..
The House then resumed the considera-
ton OF the bill to amend the laws relating
TO coinage Of coin, and bullion certificates,
which was discussed at great length. The
House adjourned without action.
