Mr. Sumner moved as an amendment to the bill the bill to regulate the selection of officers tor the city of Washington. Mr. Sumner ssid the bill which he offered as an amendment bad been alresdy voted on by the House. It was very important, and man. citizens of Washington were anxious about it, Ar. Sumner snid the amendment was ex. plained by a resolution which bad passed the Common Council, urging upon Congress the sage of this amendment. The object ot itis ‘otske from the Mayor the power to appoint certain officers and the bank of deposites, aud give that authority to the two Bosrds. It was well known that the Mayor in making these appointments acted in hostility to those who were in the majority here, and it would be impossible for any colored person to ge! any ef these offices. If this bill passed the colored people wonld have some chance, He hoped they would have the aid of his friend, "he Sena- tor from Marylsnd, (Mr. Johuson,) in this er, and that he (Mr. J.) would not throw {in the way of the colored people, r. Johnson did not desire to throw himself in the path of any people, much jess of our colored fellow citizens. He undersiood that colored men now held offices under the city government, and that some wer inthe May- or's office. It might be very inconvenient to put all the offices in the control of the colored | People, many of them here were not competent to fill thete offices. Mr. J. then alluded to the fact that during the een, trial no col- ored People bad been admitted and asked what Was the reason the Senator (Mr. Sumner) had hot given come Of his tickets to colored people Mr. Sumner.—Lt us bave the quest Mr. Davis said you could not put the osition to place a negro above 5 3 any shape under God's heaven that would r ceive his sanction.

Noman or no party who ad- yoeates this negro doctrine cau stand betore the people -of this country. Sooner or later they will be ewept out of existence. The morning hour here expired, and the Chair declared the untinished bu. #nd that the pending bill must go over. Mr, Davic.—Well, Lam clad o it will go over eternally. (Laughter) Mr. Harlan moved to postpone the unft business and proceed with the pending lull. Mr, Davis called for the aye and noes ou the motion. Mr. Hendricks opposed the motion. He un- derstood the object of the bill to be to place ali the offices of this District in the bands ot ne- groes. Mr. Sumner— Oh, only some Mr. Hendricks. men of this country some chance. Mr. Sumner.—Ob. they will have a chan Mr. Henderson said the bill in relation ¢ cLarter wasa yery simple maiter, and on to be acted on at once, Thecharver would expire either on the 15th or 17th of May. He hoped his {rind from Massachusetts would w draw bis amendment, which was provoking debate, Mr. Sumner declined to doso. His amend- ment was of & very practical nature, and it | Was very essential that it should pass before the election. If be withdrew it now he should despair of its passage in time. r. Harlan understood that it was the prac- Yee im all the cities for ~ Coun. ils welect their officers, and that was all the bill proposed to do in the city of Washington. i The motion was then taken te postpone the unfinished business for the purpose of proceed. ing with the coneideration of the bill under eonsideration, w ben it was agrved to.
