CONGRESS.

On Thursday the two Houses had but brief
session, the Radical leaders having to attend the
negro celebration. In the Senate, Mr.. Sumner
objected to considering the bill for the admission
of the territory of Colorado rs State The
Constitution presented was one for 'ohite peo-
pie, and Mr.. S., would not insult the intelli-
gence of the age by recognizing it.
In the House the army bill was further dis
cussed.
On motion of Mr. Ingersoll, Chairman of
the Committee on the District of Columbia, that
Committee has been instructed to inquire into
The cxpcdiency of establishing, by law, the
eight-hour sysaem as constituting days work
in the District.
In New York and Pennsylvania the Legis-
laturcs have negatived propositions to that cf-

SCOUTING.
large.


The Senate was not in session on Saturday,
and the House prcsented'a "beggarlH account
of empty boxes" small audience of radical
whites and blacks being present to listen to the
reading of printed spceches--the slang-whang-
ing principally of ultra loyalsts, who never
smelt powder during the whole war.
Mr.. SMITH, of Kentucky, however, who had
been a fighting General in the Union army,
gave something refreshing in his manly speech.
He spoke in support of the Presidents policy,
and urged the injustice Of taxing the Southern
States without allowing them to be represented
in Congress The very moment the war ended
the United States tax commissioners and reve-
nue. collectors were sent to every district in the
entire South, and the result was an addition Of
thirty millions of dollars tothe public treasury.
But week after week, month after month had
passed, and nothing was done towards securing
representation for these heaviy-taxed and i'm
poverished people. If it were conceded, for
the sake of argument, that ninc-tepths of the
people of any Southern State were stillrebe-
lous, why, he would ask, was not representa-
ton accorded to the loyal tenth
This was question which could not be an
swered.

NEGRO CELEBRATIONIN WASH
INGTON.

Thursday last being bright and beautiful
day, the negro gathering was a very large one,
led by regiment of colored soldiers, with white
officers and the various societies made very
imposing display. 1t is estimated that there
were $4,000 colored people out, and the num-
Der of white spectators was quite large. 1t
was the celebration of the anniversary of the
emancipation act for the District of Columbia.
Good order prevailed.
The PROCESSION called on 1'.n p---:-'ent, "-ho
made them speech, the main point of which
was that time would tell who was the best friend
of the colored people, and that freedom was not
a mere idea; there was something for all to do
they had high and solemn duties to perform.
Addresses were also made at franklin Square
by a colored preacher, and by Senator's Trum-
bull and Wilson, and others. The demand fol
universal suffrage was proclaimed as the lead
inc object of the race

RELIEF FOR THE SOUTH.

The Great Fair recently held by the ladies
of Baltimore has proved to have been great in
every sense of the word, and efforts are in pro-
greSs to add still more to its funds. The re-
lief to be effective must also be speedy, as thou
sands on the route Of Sherman's army are in a
state Of absolute restitution The Wilmington,
n. C. Journal says: Civilized history will
be searched in vain for parallel to the COM
pleteneSs with which the work of destruction
was accomplished, and the want and misery in
which the inhabitants were left"
The Baltimore Sun, in quoting the above,
and referring to suggestions as to the proper
mode of distributing the relief so nobly provi-
ded, says =
"The probabilities are that the Governors OF
the different Southern States will be looked to
to a large extent in distributing the relief to
needy districts, whilein many instances, through
personal agency here in Baltimore individuals
will be aided and relieved on specific knowledge
of their wants in all the States, especially in
those nearest t. our own. The eight or ten
thousand dollars donated so promptly to Geor-
Ola. IN supplies OF ltHN ilI NUt TGlCI II Scilt 10
the Governor Of that State, and doutlesS such
will be necessarily the case in regard TO other
distant States. In Alabama there is danger Of
starvation, as well as in Georgia. Judge Wythe,
a prominent and highly respected citizen of
Guntervile, Alabama. represents the condition
of his section as pitable to the extreme. Three
cases Of actual starvation have already occur
rcd, and hundreds must perish if relief is not
speedily afforded. The people ask only for
bread. The probate Judge of Marshall county
W. T. Nav. makes a statement even more start
ling. He asserts that the number Of helpless
and INDECENT people in the county is not less
than two thousand one hundred and eighty
women, children aud intirm men. Not twenty
persons in the whole county have the means
more than adequate to their wants. We see
that at Cincinnati generous movement has
been made in behalf of the Alabama sufferers,
and their wants will doubtless receive attention
here also"
