Congregational Representation

The proposition Of the loyal disunion-
lists to make votes, instead Of population,
the basis of Congressional representation is
most consumatc humbug The law of re-
prescntion, as it stands now, gives Repre-
sentatives in Congress and Presidential
electors upon basis Of population. One
hundred and twenty five thousand people
in South Carolina have Representative,
and so have l2j, 900 in Ohio. Is not that
right? The Radicals desire that some 80,
600 people in Illinois or Iowa shall have as
many Congressman as 100000 in South
Carolina or Mississippi. Are there no 9th.
er people besides voters entitled to be repre-.
scntcd in the law making branch of the
Government Are not the interests of fe
males, Of minor children involved in legisla
ton, and ought they not to be counted as
political element? Shall 100, 600 adult malc
who run off to gold regions have four o
five times as many Congressman as 500 0OC
males and females, adults and minors, who
remain in an old State? Certainly mott
There is but one equitable apportionmcnt
and that is upon the basis ofthc whole pop.
ulation
The only thing desired by the Radicals
is to force the South make negroes voters,
or else reduce their rcpreScnton in Con

More Negro ACglsIntiOn.

The Washington correspondent of the
New York Times says;
"Mr. Raymond also introduced q hlll to- amend
n1l existing naturalization laws, by striking
out the words which limit their OpcrRt Ions To
white citizens, so that hlack men can hc nau-
ri,lizen and receive passports. Another section
declares TINT all persons born OF TO be born
In the United States shall be considered dti-
zons of the United States, and entitled to all
the right sand privileges of ofcittzcnship, without
distinction of race and color. ThisgNes color
cd persons access MS parties ana witnesses IN
all state and United states Court
When the word white is stricken out
of the naturalization laws, the negro barba-
rian from Dahomcy or from the llottcntot
country, eau be made, in brief period, an
American citizen and sovereign of the
'frecst and best Government upon the
earth. b" The Chnaman, the Malay and
the Digger Indian, can also be taken into
our political system, and help mold and
govern it. Is there not a good time com.
ing, when these little distinctions of race
and color are abolished ?

The Government about TO Ena-
bark in Railway Enterprises.

Mr.. Stevens, of Pennsylvania, and Mr..
Garfield, of Ohio, have introduced bills in
the House Of Representatives to authorize
the building by the Government Of rail
way for military and postal purposes, from
Washington to New York; which have
been referred to IA Select Committee. .Iudg-
ing from the amount Of constitutional
knowledge manifested by the members OF
the present Congress, it is not probable
that if bill was introduced to build rail
way from Washington past the door of ev
cry individual member, it would occur to
them to question the absolute right of th,
Government to undertake the enterprise
In order to come fully up to the spirit OF
the ma jority, the bills should have provided
that negroes should be carried free on the
road, aud no other passengers taken Sucl
provision would bring to the support o
the plan the entire Republican prcss Of the
country. - Tin. Eng.

where the Money Goes.

During the war law was passed by the
Ohio Legislature creating the Office of pay
agent, to which some fifteen or eighteen
persons were appointed at handsome sala-
ries. The duty of these pay agents was to
collect the pay of soldiers and bring ithome
to the state for distribution among their
families. The army has been dsbandcd,
and no reason can be urged for keeping
these officers in their position at a cost Of.
probably $4,000 a year in the aggregate.
At the commencement of the present ses-
sion Senator CRITCHFIELD introduced bill
to repeal the law creating these pay agents.
but the abolition majority, instead of pass
ing it as honest men, having the interest Of
the people at heart should do, referred
it to the judiciary committee to be smo,h.
crei.
On Thursday last, Mr.. CRITCnFIELD made
an attack upon another public swindle by
the introduction of resolution calling for
the names and salary of persons holding Of
flee in the State Military Department. AZ
ter running debate of some five hours in
which Senator CRTCnFIELD exposed some
of the highhand plunder schemes of prom
incnt abolition politicians, this resolution
was disposed of by being sent to commit
| tee, there to remain.
! 1t is well known that hundreds, proba-
! bly, thousands, of men are holding positions
at large salaries in which they have no du-
ties to perform; positions that serve no 9th
er purpose, nor are they designed for any
other, than to pension lot of bowling ne.
gro worshipers who keep up the disunior
party. And this is the reason that our tax
es are so high. We are not taxed to pay
the public debit is not being paid. The
war being over the expenses of keeping NJ
the Government should not be much NOR,
than before it commenced; yet our take
are four times as high rs then.
The sum of the whole matter is, the peo
pie are taxed to keep up the abolition party
and to enrich lazy and dishonest men, S,
long as that party is in power the peop
will find no relief, nor do they deserve an.
i if through prejudice against the Demo
. cracy they persist in voting for public plum
-, dcrers and official robbers.

Trial OF DaIiS.

In reply to the Senate resolution calling
for informationrclative to the Imprisonment
of JEFF. DAVIS, the President has trans
mittcd the reports of the Secretary Of war
and the Attorney General. Secretary Stan
ton states that Mr.. DAVIS is under indict-
mcnt for the crime of high treason, and
stands charged with melting assassition and
and the starvation of Union prisoners. The
chief justice of the Supreme court declines
to exercise judicial duties in Virginia. -
Mcssrs Clement c. Clay, d. i. Iulce, and
s. Il. Mallory arc imprisoned at military
posts, while Mcssrs. G. A. Trenholm, John
\. Campbell, James A, Seddon, John II.
Reagan, r. NJ. I. Hunter, and Alexander
III. Stevens have been released on parole. -
Attorney General Speed states that the
confederate officials in confinement can
be held as prisoners Of war until
the rctnrn of peace, in fact and in law.
The civil courts alone have jurisdiction over
the crime of high treason. When judicial
fuctions are restored in the late insurrcc-
tionary states, the arraignmcnt Of DAVIS
and his fellow prisoners will become the
constitutional duty of the president

ScnUt support the President : reconstruction
policy: noolittlc, Morgan, Harris, Stewart,
tpwau, lrumbull, Dixon, Henderson, Antho-
ny, Lane, Of Kansas, and Lame, or lndiana.-
Exchange.
These Senators, with the ten Democrats,
make twenty one votes out of the fifty there
arein the Senate at this time. No measure,
therefore, over the Presidents veto, of the
Radical policy, can be carried by the two
thirds vote. Aided by these Senators, the
President can stop, if he chooses, all rascally
legislation Of this Congress. Ile is maste,

The Advance Of African Ciyiii-
ZafiOn,

Chistmas night last a fair was held at the
African Methodist Episcopal Church in
Richmond, Virginia, on which occasion a
n serious difficulty arose between the pastor,
Brother Bowler tcolorcd) and his hackers
on one side, and a leading deacon, Brother
Brown, and his hackers on the other. The
deacon charged the pastor with being drunk
and drawing pistol on him. The case was
heard before magistrate on the complaint
Of the deacon, and the pastor discharged to
the uproarous JOY ofthe sisters.
Subsequently the matter was brought be
fore the irecdmcn's Bureau on an applica-
ton made by another colored pastor, Bro
ther Mann, for the keys of the church. lie
was invited by the court to make his state
mcnt, which he proceeded to do, charging
that Brother Bowler, the offending pastor,
had seduccd all the sisters of the congrega-
ton into course of affection and attach
ment to himself personally. He asserted
boldly, and deiicd contradiction, that Bro
ther Bowler was absolutely drunk on Christ
mas day. As an evidence Of this fact, h,
stated that the sisters stuffed him will
n,iM and rickieS all the afternoon, so as t'
sober and prepare him for the fair at night
He further asserted that Brother Bowler
did threaten to kill Deacon Brown. and do
draw out his pistol for that purpose; and
further, that Brother Bowler was caught in
the act of stealing the locks Of the church,
so as to enable him to command the sane
tu1a
The Bureau, after consideration, ordered
the posscsson Of the church to be held by
Brother Mann.
We record this incident merely to show
how rapidly the freedmen are assuming the
airs ami practices of the whites, and as ai-
fording additional proof of their capacity
and claim to exercise the elective franchise.
