The Moral Character OF
COngreSsmen.

The Cincinnati Times, in noti-
cling the statement Of the Phila-
delphia (Pa.) Telegraph, that it
twas likely" that before Congress
admitted Mr.. John Morrissey to a
seat it would appoint a committee
to investigate his character, says,
with much force:
"'It is quite likely that if the
House should attempt any such
thing, Morrissey will be prepared
for them. All he has to do is to
post himself as to the past con-
duct of other members. in order
to skin them from head to foot
Were he an educated debater, he
could such tales unfold as would
make the House tremble like a
coward, and show the supreme fol
ly and injustice of the attempt to
place his autobiography upon the
National record. If he has not
the ability to do it himself, he
should secure the services of some
member who can do the work fol-
him"
The Chicago Republican wants
to expel Morrissey from Congress
The Times replies:
Gle is not a drunken bully like
Chandler, nor a drunken fanatic
like Yates, nor a drunken idiot like
Sprague. He is not blackguare
like Ingersoll, poor craven like
Grinnell, an impracticable ass like
Galena Washburne, nor a beast
nor a thief, like Congressman But

Look Out for Him.

An exchange raps on the knuc-
kles a certain class in this good
style:
"When you find man writing
his advertisement and sticking it
up at the post Office, or hotels, or
on the street posts instead of
publishing it in his town paper,
look out for him; the very act
shows that he is too close listed to
deal with to advantage. This is
the frozen truth"
To which the Observer adds :
And when you hear of a man who
don't Subscribe for his town paper,
but who likes it extremely well,
and always borrows it from his
neighbors and reads it, you may
set him down as the very soul Of
liberality.

The EoRr1ErH CoNcREs

The FoRT1ETH CoNGREss.-The
returns so far received, indicate
that the next Congress will stand
100 Radicals to 43 Conservatives.
This includes, however, Arkansas
and Texas, which are not yet adj
mitted to representation, and the
five territorial delegates which
have no vote. The particulars of
the California election, held Sep
TENDER 5th, have not yet reached
us. The figures above, however,

This is rather a harsh judgment
of the negro in some respects, but
it is nevertheless true as to his
qualifications for exercising the
right of suffrage. Gen. Tarbells
friends seem to think that, as he
had taken very decided ground
against negro suffrage, and upon
the grounds he did, it was necessa-
ny to show his character for truth,
and they accompanied the publica-
ton of his opinion with the fol
lowing certificate from the Radical
