Congress and tho treaty making power to
and limit Chinese immigration.
Seventh. Indorscs tho administration Of
Mr.. Hayes.
Eighth. Charges that tho Democratic
party, to obtain possession Of tho National
and State Governments and control Of tho
place and position, have obstructcd all efforts
Of suffrage, aud have devised fraudulcne
oerlilications and returns; havo laborcd to
unseat lawfully elected members Of Congress,
to secure ut oil hazards tho votes of q majority
of tho States in tho House OF Representatives;
havo ondoayored to occupy by force and
fraud places of trust given to others by tho
pooplo of Maino, which wero prevented by
tho courage and action Of Maino's patriotic
sons; hayo attached partisan Legislation to tho
tho very life of the government depends; hnye
crushed tho rights of individuals; advocated
the principle and sought the favor Of rebellion
against tho nation, and cndeavored to oblito-
ratio tho sacred memories Of the war and
overcome its inestmable valuable results of
nationality. Personal freedom and individual
equality, equal enforcement Of tho law aud
tho protection of all citizens in the enjoyment
of all privileges and immunitcs guaranteed
by tho constitution, are the first duties Of tho
nation. The dangers of tho solid South can
"
every promise which the nation has made to its
citizens. Tho execution Of the laws and tho
punishment Of all those who violate them,
arc the only sure methods with which an
enduring peace can be secured and genuine
prosperity established throughout tho South.
Tho solid South must 10 divided by the
peaceful agencies Of tho ballot, and opinions
must there find FREQ expression, and to this
end honest votes must DO protected against
terrorism, violence and fraud.
After being read, Mr.. Barker. or AIassa-
ohusotts, moved to amend by adding tho
following:
The Republican party, adhering to the
principles affirmed by its last national con-
vcntion of respect for the constitutional
rules governing appointment to Office,
adopts the declaration Of President Hayes
that the reform in the civil service shall be
thorough, radical and complete. 10 that
end it commands the cooperation Of tho
lcgisatc with the executive department
of the government, and .hst Congress shall
so legislative that fitness asccrtaincd by
proper practical tests shall admit to public
service; that tho tenure Of tho administra-
two officers (cxccpt those through which
the distinctive policy of the party in power
shall bo carried out, shall be permanent
during good behaviour, and that the power
of removal for cause, with duo RESPONSE
bility for good conduct of subordina,es,
shall accompany tho power Of appoint
mcnt.
Mr.. Anthony, Of Illinois, moved an
amendment which Mr.. Barker acccitrd,
and then tho resolution as amended was
also adopted without the call of States
The resolution az adopted omits the tenure
OF Office clause, otherwise it is practically as
originally introduced.
sLEErINa TOGETHER.
WASHINGTON, june THE colorcd
Republicans of Georgia ought to be happy,
and no doubt would have been, if they
could have visited the rooms of the Gcor-
gia delegation at the Palmer House in
Chicago. 1t is said hero that the colorcd
brother and tho white Republican slept in
peace, harmony and good will. This was
brought about by tho crowocd condition Of
affairs, and tho necessity of not letting tho
coorcd delegate gcta chance at tho oppo-
sitiou barrel. When it is remembered the
thermometer was trying to reach tho top,
and the scarcity of towels and water is
taken into consideration, this action Of the
white Republicans commcnas itself worthy
of more than passing notice. Mr.. Nor.
cross will have to abandon his pet scheme
to draw the color line after this exploit.
But in justice to the negroes It is fair to
state that my Informant says they "kickod"
at it and demanded separate rooms, but
there were not enough spa:o bedrooms to 20
round. Tho Radical managers satisfied
some Of tho Southern delegates in the May
Of pccuuiurJ aid in very dclicatc and
economical manner. They issued to each
delegate many tickets of admission with
reserved seats, aud these found ready salo
at prices ranging from five to twenty dol
lars, according to the location Of the seats.
THE HALL THEY MEET IN.
and les us look around. We see an immense
vat Of an auditorium fiat on the floor, and
with bcvcled sidce and ends, oil filled with
black spectators and bowed above. rs if the
practical skeleton Of 4 rainbow had been
taken out and an inhabited section Of it cx-
posed. Carrying this figure q litlo further
it seems like the hold of Noah's ark, covered
with tho rainbow that assured him of no
moro water. Tho stage of this great Pine
temple is at ono end, and tho band Of music
at tho other, and they arc rs far apart as an
Indian can shoot an arrow-say 500 fcct.
From the stage the band looks like ittle
moving fringe Of red on q pile Of gray dry
goods. 1t would take an opera glass to pick
out from whore sit, though | have far seeing
gray eyes any person in that group of must
clans, and my place is under tho chairman,
Cameron, who has just como in. There aro
perhaps one hundred commodious reporters
seats between tho stage proper and tho en-
trance, elevated several feet above it, but
