Said an old darkey, the other day : "I it in favor of dat whipping poss, 'cause das makes the rogues, feel it." The old coon added that on the railroads and in the penitentiary they fared better than they do at home, and to send these negroes there was to starve and punish their fami lies while the roguish husband fattened and fared well. Here is good logic for bur legislators. We believe the old darkey is about correct.

WASHiwoToif, Feb. 1 7.1 Dfscassiott upon the bill to limit Chinese immigration grew in interest as it proved, amendments offered by Conkling and Edmunds. opening up the question in new lights and broad ening the field of debate. Of course it was known from the beginning that itwai . race between parties as to Which AtmlA make the most favorable showing in the eyes ot the people of California, whose votes at the next Congressional elects are the stake. But a few of the Sensfar refused to ne lead by the nose into what almost ait leit was not a safe precedent ta make, and it was" pertinently suggested' by Edmunds and others that r if our government may abrogate , a portion oi the treaty without Drenous notW to the Chinese Government or anv attempt to have the treaty, modified as to means, the Jsjnperor of uhma might and indeed would be justified in annulling whatever he may choose. He might stop American emigratiot to China or com- oierciai or missionary purposes, ana give otner nations exclusive advantages: and he might wish to limit the .'number of Americans entering his dominions, or : ob ject to our civilization, our Christianity, our custom, or our aiei; ana ne ought to be told that we recognized his right to disregard the treaty, as we propose to do. This was the idea of Edmunds' amend ment. Republicans advocating the bill, es pecially Blaine and Hoar, laid themselves open to exposure of the grossest Incon sistency between their views' upon this question and the race question at the South. The opportunity was so tempting some Democrats with whom I conversed on this subject said they could scarcely resist the temptation. After awhile Sen. ator Eustis, of Louisiana, took advantage of it and so completely demolished Blaine that he did not attempt a reply, although he was specially, referred to and asked again and again to reconcile the fact that throughout the debate he had denounced the Chinese . and declared that the two races cot Id not live together in peace with. out the interposition of force, yet whenever he had occasion to speak of race troubles in ,the South be always denounced the white race and sought to force them to live in peace with the blacks. EustiB was in favor of the bill because he would avoid race troubles. When ever races so distinct as the blacks and whites, oriChinese and whites, live together there' will some times be violence and bloodshed. These things some times happened in Louisiana, yet, Blaine always denounced the white people for a condition of affairs ffiaXhisown logic pxeved to be inevitable. This line of remark was pur sued at much length and with great effect, then he skillfully drew a "parallel between the condition of the Chinese and the ne groes, and affairs in California and Louisi ana. There the Chinese came into competition with white laborers, and did not seek or exercise political power, while in the South the negroes, without a history, without civilization, and without educa tion, were made citizens and olaced in power over the white people. No ether neoele would have endured it so patiently and with as little resultant violence and bloodshed as the people of Louisiana. Blaine said Eustis had j confused two questions, aud thea v Dewee seized upon thf weapon JSustig had laid down, and ap plied fl to the "back of his brother Blaine.
