Congress.

Congress assemblies about the third Monday in this
month 1--WE not certain to the exact day., and
we shall what effect the reaction at the
North viii have. In regard to the impeachment
matter, Washington ietter-writer says:
"The judiciary Committee, both majority and
minority, will have their reports ready to submit to
Congress ON Thursday the 21st inst The ma ority
report will be against impeachment, and 1t Will be
signed by the same members who voted nay In the
committee the 8th of June last The minority will
be Messrs Boutwell,, Lawrence, Williams ad Thomas,
as heretofore. Both sections of the committee are
agreed upon one point-that the question must be
Immediately decided, and it will probably be the only
business of the few days that viii remain of the first
session of the fortieth Congress-"
NEGRO SUFFRAGE AGAIN KILLED.-In Kansas and
Minnesota, at the late elections, the proposition to
allow negroes to vote submitted to the people,
and it was rejected by large majority. There are
but few negroes in either State, and they born
Free yet these Northern people will not let them VOTE
but their Representatives in Congress want TO force
the Southern white people to put themselves under
negro rule almost entirely. Great hypocrisy and
inconsistency.
If Congress would leave the question with the
Southern people, it would not be long before they
would voluntarily confer the right of suffrage such
colored persons could exercise it intelligently.
Time will prove, if circumstances permit, that the
former slave-owners are their truest friends.

PROVED FATAL.-Mr. Dan'l. Glea-
son, the man whom we reported as
hsving been SO ba.llysmu,ilated by a
train on the D. V. r. r., running over
him, died from bis wounds ut 9 o'clock
Wednesday evening, and was buried
yesterday morning. From Mr.. Tim
Riordan, ofthis road, we have tho
following statement in regard to tho
affair
The section boss, was with the
squad Of track-nen, near Harrows
bridge, when he saw the freight train
coming down and te Id the mon that
.thcre was the train; it was noon,
and time to quit" They all started
to walk down I he track, but got Off,
excepting two, Gleason and another.
Presently, as the train came closer
the other man stepped off and told G.
to do SO which he Gid, but immcdi-
ately stepped on again, and the pilot
struck him when he was about in tie
middle Of the track. 1t is not Gus
tomary, or considered necessary to
whistle for track-men, as they always
know the approach Of trains. Glea.
son wis one of the track la
borer on the road. and was at work
with the balance of the men,"
/ No one can account for his getting
on the track the second time, but sup
pose he was bcwildercd. Tho cwhistIe
was sounded, but too late to save tho
unfortunate mans life. However
much we regret the occurrence Of
such sad accidents, we, after hearing
the case, from two points, must be
lievc that no blameis attached 70 any
one but the deceased himself.
