~~MNwii~~~s~id'~2B3f: FDIRTY•FiRS'S CONGRESS—First Ses sion. I csoss or YESTERDAY'S ntoosstruf6s:l Sessre.—The Tenure-of-Office act came up as unfinished business. _Mr. Scott resumed his argument to Show that the power of removal from office is Nvithin the jurisdiction of Congress, and may be regulated by legislation. The Republican party-was com mitted to that view by the Tenure-of-Office act, by the vote on the impeachment trial, and by Its party platforms. He hoped, therefore, that the Senate would stand upon principle, and refuse to* repeal the law; but he wduld vote tor its suspen sion with proper enalifications.and safeguards. Mr. Schurz thought that a man might declare himself in favor of repeal or against it without being open on the one mind to the charge of obse- OUIOUBDCEB, or on the other to the charge of dis courtesy to the President. Had the question been preheated to him simply upon its merits he Might have voted for repeal. He believed the law to be strictly conetitutional, but the constitutional view was not always the only, nor, sometimes, even the most important view of a question, end in this case there were certain great practical questions to be taken into consideration. One of the great est problems presented to the Statesmen of the day was how to reform the public service, and root out the degrading and disgraceful corruption and inefficiency now existing there. The main source of that corruption was not to be found in the exercise of arbitrary power of removal by the Executive, but in the 'latent of appointment of public officers at random from personal or politi cal fat:Willem, or upon the principle that to the victors belong , the spoils. Whilst that system should be continued, it.would be a question if a law like the tenure of office act would not do more hared by, - preventing , salutary removals by a good President than it would do good.by prevent ngimpropetrereorals by a bad President. When tie body politic was:'daily swallowing poison it was rtwell to have at hand, ready to act promptly, a powerful emetic, like the absolute power of re moval from office, and, • therefore, he might be willing to vote for repeal if he lbelieved that the majority ot the Senate was in favor of keeping the lawrlon. the statue-book in its present form. Itseemed, however, to be generally understood that U, thelaw were not repealed it would have to bettiodified at the next session of Congress. For this reason, paradoxical as it might seem, he would now vote against repeal, because he hoped that when the subject should come up again, Congress, having already attempted re form in the wrong direction and failed, would go to the root of the evil, and at least attempt a true reform by establishing a system of examination, appointment for merit, and removal only for cause, thus giving respectubility and permaneacy to the public service. He did not expect to bring aboutthe millennium by an act of Congress, but he dld hope that at the next session one atep at least would be taken in the right direction. With this hope be would vote to suspend the law in order to facilitate the action of President Grant in removing unworthy public officers. He had heard with regret rumors that the Pre sident felt sensitive on the subject, and would not send any nominations to the Senate until the Tenure of Office act 'should be repealed. These rumors, though doubtless without foundation, had al tendencymake trouble between , the legisiativh and the e eguttve branches of the Gov ernment, and were erefore to be deprecated,be causemithon,gh tif struggle of Cougre nwtthMr. 1, Johnson had shOWn that a .President , 'even with the fullest official power and patronage, was in the end poWerless against the will of the people and their representatives, yet it was shown that he could imperil; and to some extent neutralize the effect of the beet legislation. He (Mr. Schurz) could oot- himself believe any of these stories. Re was not one of i those who availed themseiver of every opportunity to fly into a paroxysm of adulation of General Grant, but he had too favor able 'an opinion of his character and judgment not to believe that be would avail himseit with avidity of every aid to do what the country ex pected him to do, whether that aid came in the shape of suspension or the repeal of the tenure of office law. Mr. Sprague followed with an argument for repeal. A day or two .ago the Senator from Maine (Mr. Fessenden) had felt called upon, as he often did, Ua d iecturu the Senate, and had been especially severe upon those who advocated the repeal of the tenure of of office act because of the high character of the President. But he (Mr. Sprague) believed that was a legitimate and an excellent reason for repeal. Re believed that one such man, occupying a responsible position like the Presidency, might more safely be trusted to act with reference to the interests and views of the whole country than an irresponsible, limited and non-representative body like the Senate. The groat evil in both Rouses of Congress was that too many of the members were lawyers—men educated only in one line, in one range of ideas and experience, and therefore incompetent to represent faithfully the divers interests and necessities of the great mass of the people. Of the 6d members of the Senate, 45 were lawyers, and of the remaining 21 five had received a legal education, and most of tne few remaining members were guided and directed by the teachings of the lawyers. In the House the preponderance of members of this profession was even greater than in the Sen ate. Some States had no other Representatives. This was a most unwholesome state of affairs. He was not one of those who worshipped the political system transmitted to us by our fathers, or attributed to it our great material growth. The math-springs of our prosperity had been slavery and foreign emigration. The former had stimu lated the growth of cotton and made it an Ameri can monopoly, and so had built up the manufac turing and commercial and railroad interests of the North, and these had in turn invited and grown up on foreign emigration. The politicians had, of course, had something to do with the pro motion of each of these great interests, but all that these.bad accomplished was the building up of two great powers for mutual destruction. The politicians had never been willing to let the people know the true state of the country. They had tailed to warn them of the approach of the late war, and had plunged them into it unpre pared. Tee politicians still adhered to the same blind policy, but he had already done something to let the people know the true condition of the country, and he meant to do more. The object of the majority is Congress seemed to be rather to perpetuate the existence of a party than to promote the weitare of the people; but no party could have his support which did not make the prosperity and contentment of the people its chief object. A party which failed in this failed in the great purpose for which alone it had a right to exist_ Iteconclueien, ho said he was in favor of re pealing the tenure-of-ottice act, in any case; be cause-ill he had to subject-himself to any tyranny, hePreferred the tyranny of one man with some humanity in him, and occupying a responsible position. to that of an irresponsible body like the Senate. Mr; -Nye humorously defended the lawyers frourthe sledge-hummer assaults of the Bean erges from Rhode Island. Mr. Corbett made an argument for the repeal. Re wished.to leave the President untrammeled, because' he belleVed that a single man in his po sition could better judge of the fitness of oflioers to serve,the public than could the Senate. He remireled the Senate that the war of the Govern ment against the rebellion was a costly failure until one man was given supreme command, when itimmediately began to be successful. Mr. Bayard also spoke in favor of repealing the law ,because he believed it to be unconstitu tionaL: Vipi position of those who thought other wise, yet favored its suspension, was, in his judg ment, Wettable, because the Senate had no more right to divest itself of a constitutional power than it had to usurp a power not granted by the Constitution. At 4.80 the Senate went into executive session and soon after adjourned. Hoosa.—The consideration of the Indian Ap propriation bill in committee of the whole was continued. Mr. Wood denounced the system of making treaties with Indiana as a system of fraud on the Treasury, and injury to the Indians, and declared that appropriations had been made for Indian tribes that had no existence. Mr. Lawrence, a member of the Committee on Appropriations, characterized the whole Indian Bureau as rotten, and as a den of thieves. The only _question for - the House wa a,whether it would root out that den of thieves and save the people from the plunder and robbery that was going on under the cover of the treaty-making power, or whether it would surrender i 1 1 latlie power to the treaty-making power. eg it denied that there was any such thin as an Ina dhin treaty; there were contracts made .with va rious Indian tribes; but treaties were conventions between sovereign nations, and it was a fare° to apply such a term to tribes of wandering Indians. 1 E Mi=l . Mr. , Maynard : inquacti :when Mr: Lawrence. thought the CM had arrived that the, Indian', ceased to be a power to make treaties with? Mr. Lawrence replied that the . Indittul,blkd never ceased to be a natiem with whichtreaties could be 'made, becanse it never had tieinienelitt nation: 'lmes not until ' within the stun - four years that the treaty-snaking power bad ever as sumed that it was independent of legislation; and that it Could sell and'buylands through treaties' with Indian tribes. Re was in fever of leaving the Whole question of the Indians to the unw. Ad- ministration. •141 r. Julian remarked that General Grant had ; intimated Ms intention of plaelbg - the Indians under:the control of the Beet of Quilters,and that be bad told him (Mr. &titan) eXpressly that he was opposed to every form of taking thelands of the United Metes and giving them ' to corpora- • tionsi either through Indian treaties,lland grants, trany other 'way: Mr. Lawrence—Thank God for Gen. Grant and his policy. Treaties have been put through the Senate when there were not six Senators present. ' Every man who participated in a traud of that sort in unfit to wimpy a seat in any deliberative body. I 'wish to God I could reach the Senate and the ears of.overy man in the country; until the Senate should be compelled to pay Some heed to the voice of the people, and to have some respect for the interests of the people, in stead of squandering the people's money. Mr. Negley inquired of the Chair whether it was parliamentary to apply such language to the Senate. The Chairman (Mr. Judd)—As the Chair un derstood it, it was rather broad, and the Chair suggests to the gentleman from Ohio that, in re ferring to a co-ordinate branch of the Legislature be should be afittle more careful and choice in his language. Ms. Lawrence—Yes, I shall be mote careful. I. could go a good deal farther than that, and say things a good deal worse,and yet keep within the bounds of truth. Laughter. Mr. Dawes said he would have felt surprised at the remarks'of his colleague on the committee (Mr. Lawrence), only for the'fact' that that'gen tleman had not found it consistent with Ills other• public duties to attend the meetidg Of the com mittee, at which the question had been fully con sidered. if he had done so, he probably would not have shot off in a new orbit of his Own, bat would have stood by Ills interrelates in their effort o rescue the Treasury. The very foundation' tone of this bill was to put a atop to these new treaties, and to refuse to go farther than fulfilling the stipulations of treaties :that have had the sanction of all branches of the Government. There Was not an item In the . blll that came under any of those dew treaties hich had properly - called dotsm the anathemas of his colleague (Mr. Lawrence). If his colleague had known what was in the hilt, the Honse would have been saved his remarks nntll the amendment of the Senate should come in t tvben suett remarks would be in order. If the Rouse were to resist those amendments at all, it would have to do so by standing by the bill as reported, from the Com mittee on Appropriations. If members were to depart from it and undertake either to introduce amendments'or to abandon the law of the land, they would be all at sea. After further discussion, the amendment of fered by Mr. Wood was rejected, and the Clerk proceeded with the reading of the bill, which was occasionally interrupted by the offering of amendments, which brought up the same general question for discussion. At quarter past four the Committee rose and reported the bill to the House, and it was there upon passed. Mr. Judd, from the Committee on Foreign Affairs, reported a resolution instructing that committee to inquire into ail s the circumstances relating to the 'alleged imprisonment of 'Metiers. Bliss and Masterman, in Paraguay, and into the conduct of the late American minister in Paraguay, end of the officers commanding the South Atlantic Squadron, with power to send for persons and papers, and to report at any time. • The Speaker presented a communication from the Governor of Massachusetts, with the action of the Massachusetts Legislature ratifying the fif eenth article of amendment to the constitution, and the House then, at 4.20, adjourned till Mon day. &Mars In Cuba.

Scrofulous poison is one of the most destructive enemies of our race.

PREJUDICE AGAINST COLOR We extract the following from a recent article which appeared in the New York Timee concerning the colored people of New York : THE PREJUDICE AGAINST TEEM. Throughout the whole of the exploration which I recently, made, accompanied by an experienced officer of the police force, through the quarters of this city occupied by colored people, I met, in every direction, the most startling evidences of the powerful effects of prejudice. Of all the difficulties with which' they have to contend, that of prejudice against them for their color's sake throws all others into the shade, and would seem under present circumstanced to be al- Most insuperable. This is a feeling which is bitterly and intensely fostered by the Irish element, and quietly acquiesced in by a very large portion of native-born citizens. If a colored man applies for work new job, he always has to wait till the _ontractor sees whether he can get enough to laborers for his purpose before he is to n on, and it more often happens that he is once refused em-• ployment, simply on e ground of his color, although the contras or who refuses to em ploy, him may be at the very moment short of his requisite number of hands; and when he does succeed in getting work, he has to accept lower wages, and is always expected to work harder than a white man, while his fellow-workmen "put upon" him whenever they get the opportunity, and ceaselessly jeer at him, and make him the butt of their jokes. To my inquiries, "why do you not bream up this wretched colony and move into more comfortable quarters," one invariable answer was returned : "We find it so difficult to, persuade any one to rent us a decent place on account of our color. Hundreds of imwould gladly pay twice the rent to live in some more respectable neigh borhood; but the hnsdlords will not accept us as tenants on any terms, declaring that, should they let a couple of rooms to a colored man, all their white lodgers would ilkimedi ately give them notice to leave." It has hap pened on many occasions that men, who have succeeded in' obtaining work a long dis tance from their homes in the negro quarters, and who were naturally anxious to remove themtelves and their families to the immedi ate neighborhood of their work, have actually offered to different landlords much more rent than they could possibly hope to get from white men, and have been curtly told : "I never let my rooms to a nigger." The consequence is that the poor fellow often has to walk three miles to and from his work; and three miles is a long distance after a hard day's labor. Again, many members of the Trades Unions refuse to work on a building job if • colored men be employed; and the Irish, especially, have often made combina tions to compel the- masters to discharge them. Neither will they work for masters who take colored apprentices. I was in formed by highly respectable persons, who were by no means desirous of glossing over the faults of their people, that they did not know a single workshop in this city where a colored man could get employment as an artisan, however respectable or however clever at his trade he might be, or where a colored lad would be taken as an apprentice. But this prejudice against the African peo ple, on account of their color, is by no means confined to the laboring classes. Respectable hotels almost invariably refuse to admit colored people within their doors. The pro prietors of ice-cream, 'oyster and dining sa loons, and the keepers of liquor stores, even of a second or third rate class, refuse to fur nish them with refreshments. Rev. WWiam F. Butler, pastor of Zion Church, a man of gentlemanly manners and appearance, and of some considerable education, assured me that one day last summer he entered, in company • with Mrs. Butler, an Ice-cream saloon, by no means a fashionable one, and requested to be supplied with refreshment;in answer to which requeat he was informed that they wore not in the habit of accommodating colored people and must refuse to serve him. On another oc casion, not long ago, Bir.Butler walked into a dining saloon on . Sixth avenue,about f o'clock in the afternoon. The place was empty, and he was readily served with dinner, which he partook, of, paid for, and departed without a single remark being made by the proprietor. A day or two afterward he repaired to the same saloon, hitt on this occasion at midday. The dining-room was nearly full of white people. The proprietor immediately walked across the sateen to him, and informed him that he could not dine th'ere at that hour, but i t it if he choose to come later .in the a ternoon, after all , their white customers ha left, he would' then t- allow- 'him to be sertr with dinner, but ; not before. Again, some of the theatres refuse to ad-- mit colored persons at all, while ,those, who do conderend to do, en, only ,allew them,to sit in one part of the hoose—the tier of seats immediately beneath the roof. ,' But perhaps one of the moat Iditonishing instances of "this prejudice occurred laet summer; and that in a quarter from whence.it might have been, least anticipated. The Christian 'Convention of ministers of all denominatione,' which was then assetabledin this city;:thought , proper to set the bad example of Christian charity and brritherlYilove to, ell life .wetrlct or not inviting their brother ministers to at tend their eittiogs. • ..- r.. .... ,' ,) LOW DOWN. • PARLOR (3HANUMB.
