At the last session of this Congress there was a variety of suhjects submitted to the consideration of the Committee oii Foreign Relations. one a bill almost in the terms of this now presented to us. differing indeed. I believe. only in that but ten citizens of that empire should embark upon any one vessel. this extending it to fifteen. There was another bill proposing to place a capitation tax upon every Chinaman immigrant to this country. There were two or three other propositions. After mature consideration. the Committee on Foreign Relations believing it jst and right and the proper solution of this problem. directed my honorable friend from Wisconsin to report a resolution to this body.
