ANTI-NEBRAsKA CAUCUS.

An Anti Nebraska caucus was again held at
the Capitol ON Monday night. The call upon
delegations Of the States for an expression of
opinion in regard to political affairs, was pro-
ceeded with.
New Jersey was first called upon, upon whose
behalf Pennington responded, he being the
only member from that State present. His re-
marks were rather lugubrious. A large party,
be said, supported Fillmore and Donelson in
that State; and we must make Conservative
nomination, or he could not vouch for our car
rying the State. He suggested that the men,
bers Of Congress should indicate a nomination,
but the proposal met with no favor. Pennsyl-
vania next called. Allison spoke for the west
ern part of the State in a hopeful strain; j. c.
Campbell for the eastern part, in more doubt
fnl tone. Ohio was vouched for by Harlan,
l.. ID. Campbell, Galloway, Giddings, and Wat
son, all of whom appeared TO feel pretty well
about that State, although Mr.. Horton, who
represents strong Democratic district, spoke
more doubtingly than the rest. The meeting
closed about half past ten, with a most stirring
and eloquent speech from Governor Seward,
indicating somewhat line Of policy, which
met with great favor.

There are said to be some seven or eight
friendly, beneficial, and benevolent associations,
including two or three of Free Masons and Odd
Fellows-these latter, however, being probably
regarded as irregular, alike by Free Masons
and Odd Fellows.
How touching to the feelings of the just and
generous are these simple facts, and how they
should disarm the vulgar prejudice that seeks,
or takes pleasure in, their degradation
In this connection, we would again mention
the admirable high school established in the
city, some years SINCE for colored girls, by Miss
Miner, a woman of noble aims and fine Guilt
walton. Her method of instruction, her disci-
phne, and the fruits of her wise and benevolent
labors, have commanded the admiration even
of those who have no sympathy with Anti-Sla-
very sentiments. They recognise such educa-
tional efforts, and other agencies for i'm
proving the condition of the colored people,
as worthy of all praise. Society owes it to It
self, to its own peace, safety, and comfort, to
promote the elevation of its humblest members.
No class can be neglected without becoming
a source of annoyance and mischief, Just in
proportion to its ignorance and corruption.
The national era. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1847-1860, 1856-03-27

This sum, deducted from the value of all the
church property in the District, as above stated.
will leave s325,OOo as the value of the magnif:
icent churches and grounds of the white con.
gregations, or about 1886 to each person.
The number of free persons of color is 10. o5e.
and their property is in the ratio of $3.50 10
each person or, even if the 1857 slaves be
added in, the ratio will be S2.7O.
The annual compensation to each of N
pastors, (Mt. Moriah, beyond the Eastern
Branch, being supplied by local preachers,)
probably besides marriage and other perquisites,
Is at least $3.50, making an aggregate Of
$4,000 per year.

ANOTHER VICTORY IN THE HOUSE.

The Anti Nebraska forces Of the House
seemed TO have exhausted themselves in the
election of Speaker. After that event, they
became disorganized, and apparently incapable
of any positive accomplishment. Lately, how
ever, they have been ralIying, and last Wednes-
day. by the aid of Mr.. Dunn, and few other
gentlemen, who had generally occupied antago-
nistic positions, they achieved a most decisive
victory, in the passage of resolution, moved
by that member, for the appointment of Com
mittee Of three members of the House, to pro-
coed to Kansas for the purpose of fully investi-
eating all the troubles Of the Territory. 1t was
moved as a substitute for the resolution of the
Committee of Elections, and was so entirely
satisfactory, proposing, indeed, more impo-
sing form and wider range of investigation, that
it was at once embraced by the Anti Nebraska
members, receiving their entire support. 1t
was carried by vote of l02 to 93-37 MEM
BEERS being absent. Had they all been present.
the result would not have been changed, as the
absentees had generally "paired off,"
The Committee is authorized to employ
Clerks aud Sergeants at arms, to proceed to
the Territory, to investigate fully all the frauds
charged to have been committed in all the elec-
tons and the President is requested TO afford
them military protection, should it be neces-
sary.
Ii is the great movement of the session. /,
shows the country that the House of Represent
atives is determined to discharge its duty, and il
will at once encourage the People of Kansas
and admonish the invaders of their soil that the
ouirages so often perpetrated are not to be re-
peated with IMMUNITY.
At the time of writing this. we have no,
yet learned who are 10 compose the Committee
The proposition adopted, although technically
the proposition Of the Committee of Elections
was moved by Mr.. Dunn, and, according to
parliamentary usage, We suppose he should b
appointed its Chairman. For one, we should
be satisfied with the appointment, for, although
indisposed hitherto to act with the Anti Nebras
ka majority, still, on this National Question Of
kansas, we understand him to occupy a right
position, and be certainly possesses peculiar
qualifications for the proposed investigation.
Since writing the foregoing, the Speaker an
nounccd the Committee, on Monday, as follows
Messrs. l.. d. Campbell of Ohio, Mr.. Howart
of Michigsu, and Mr.. Oliver of Missouri. Mr.
Campbell, on Tuesday, asked to be excuses
from serving, and Mr.. Sherman of the SAM
State was Immediately appointed to take hi
place. The latter gentleman, not expecting
such an event. left Washington for his home
an Ohio, on Monday evening; but it is pre-
sumsd that he will not decline the task which
has been imposed upon him.

FREE cOLORED PEOPLE OF THE DISTRICT.

The colored people in the District of Column
bia, occupying position between two slave
States, are subject to the suspicion and aver
sion of many Of the people of those States,
whose stringent laws against obnoxious free
persons of color within their own borders have
in past times driven into our territory many
such persons, alike ignorant, slothful, and of
MANNED reputation. 1t may be also added, that
in all the controversies that have arisen in the
National Capitol in relation to negroes and
Slavery, to appease the fears of some and to
satisfy the aversion of others of those of the
white race periodically dwelling among US, with
respect to both free colored persons and slaves,
stringent and oppressive rules have been en-
acted, and enforced by the local governments,
