Another gets up and says the colored man is not capable of carrying on great business enterprises. and the Senator from Georgia rMr. COLQUITT]. if I understood his remarks correctly the other day. argued that he was necessarily a slave and a servant. that the curse of Ham was upon him. citing Sacred Scripture to justify the treatment of the colored man in the South. Now. my good friend from Louisiana comes to me and puts a long hypothetical question in regard to what I would do if Chinese had been permitted to freely come to this country and no legislation had been enacted for restriction. if the Congress of the United States had enacted a law to allow them to be naturalized. because it is wellknown that the laws of theUnited States do not permit the natural ization of colored foreigners. and if a million and a half had taken possession of the State of Oregon. and if they had established a Chinese government. with Chinese legislators. and Chinese judges. and Chinese officers. he asks ihe what would I do then. Well. I simply tell the gentleman that the supposition itself is preposterous.
