Phelps. is doing good work in his honest endeavors to execute the law. but no man. however vigilant. can guard against Chinese perjury. I have introduced a bill that will prevent this willful perjury by excluding merchants. as well as laborers. My colleague. Mr. MORROW. the author of the bill now under consideration. who has at all times opposed Chinese immigration. informs me that his committee will soon report my bill. I will then give reasons why it should become a law. The object of this bill is to require the Superintendent of Census to enumerate the Chinese population in the United States at the time of taking the census and to give to each Chinese person so enumerated an engraved certificate.
