THE FIR = NEGRO CONGRESSMAN.

The Radical Republicans have
shown great Solicitude to have the
negro a voter, and they are entire
ly willing that-he shall be an Office
holder in the Southern States, but
now that 4 negro has been elected
TO Congress from one of these States,
they are beginning to hatch up ex-
cuses to keep him out Of that body.
A negro named Menard has been
elected to Congress for the unex-
pired term Of the late Col. Mann,
the Representative from the second
district of Louisiana. One Radical
Republican paper says The only
Legitimate objection that can be
made to the eligibility of Menard,
will be that he has not been long
enough a citizen of the United
States. According to the bred Scott
decision all rights, including that
to citizenship, were denied to
the negro. And it is only very re
Gently that the Civil Rights bill and
the famous fourteenth amendment
have superseded the bred Scott
decision. Now, according to the
constitution, no one is eligible as a
Representative to Congress unless
he has been for seven years citi-
zen and no one is eligible as Sen
ator unless he has been for nine
wears a citizen. Here is the OBJ
lection which his Radical brethren
will interpose to Menards taking
his seat in Congress. The bred
Scott decision has been bitterly de-
nounced by the Radicals, but the
indications are that they will find it
convenient now to shelter them
selves behind that decision in order
to keep the negro out Of Congress.

FOREIGN ESTIHkTE SF PARTIES IN
THIS COTNTRY

The New York Sun has recently
INDUCED in some anticipations Of
the speedy overthrow Of the French
empire. To this the Courier des
Etats UniS, the French organ in
New York, returns a counter thrust
in like suggestion as to the proba-
bic fate of the American republic
under Radical Republican rule The
Courier looks at this question from
a foreign standpoint, and we are
therefore bound to adopt the opin-
ion of this intelligent representa-
tive of the French people rs not
favorable to the Permanency Of our
government under the rule which
has prevailed since the war. The
Richmond Wing translates from the
Paris Constitutional, one of the
ablest papers published in France,
the impressions received by that
journal from the record made by
the two parties in this country, One
as familiar as the editor Of the
Constitutional is with the Red Re
publicanism Of France, can readily
see its image reflected in the Radi-
cal. Republicanism Of the United
States. The latter is as dcspotic as
the former was in the days ofits pow
err and realizes the truth of Madame
Rowland's dying declaration: ooh,
Liberty; what crimes are commit
ted in thy name" Nothing is
wanting here but the mercuriaI
and excitablc temperament Of the
French. to fill the land with those
deeds of blood that made French
Republicanism, at once the terror
and shame of the last century. We
subioin the article from the ConSti-
fri0nael, as follows:
Between Republicans and Democrats,
what is the difference The RepubIl'
cans Of America. like the Republicans Of
Europe. are despots, who will not en-
dure the existenceo Of any liberty. What
they wish is a vigorous Capitalization
which subjects to the despOtism OF Con
gress the whole territory Of the republic.
What they especially desire is the ruin
of the Southern States, whose insurec-
ton they can never pardon. At present
they are striving TO deliver those States
10 the dom iniOn of the blacks.
'The principle Of the Democrats, on
the contrary, is the constitution as Wash
ington left it; States under certain limita-
tons, of which the President and Con
gress have the guardianship; but with
this exception each State is sovereign

APu,sE oFNoRruERN LIFE.

There is late phase OF the high
er civilization of the North which
has rarely, if ever, found a counter
part in the South. We allude TO
the facility with (which men and
women who, for some sinister pur-
pose, are desired out of the way,
are confined in an insane asylum.
A very noted instance of this kind
has occurred in New York. 1t APP
pears that a gentleman residing in
New Jersey has been paying his
addresses to a daughter of Com.
Richard W. Meade, a retired officer
of the United States navy and
brother OF Gen. George G. Meade,
but the Commodore had strongly
and repeatedly objected to his at
tentions-frst, because the girl was
too young to think Of marrying,
and secondly because even if she
were of age, this person could never
be considered as a proper suitor for
her hand. The young man, how
ever, finding certain of the daugh-
ter,s relatives, including her moth
er, to back him, persisted in his at
tentions. Commodore Meade there
upon threatened to take such
action as would preclude the posi-
bility Of this individual paying fur
Their attentions to Miss Meade, or to
anybody else, and thereupon Ger
tain nearly interested persons,
sought to obtain a certificate OF
Commodore Meade's insanity, to
the end that he might be incarcer-
ated in a lunatic asylum until after
his daughter should be married.
To obtain this certificate they en-
ploved two United States naval
surgeons, with both Of whom the
Commodore was on unfriedly terms,
and neither of whom had seen him
for someyears They made no eX-
animation Of his mental state; but
simply signed a certificate Of his
insanity Armed with this docu-
ment, the persons aforesaid, with
detective officers, lay in wait for
favorable opportunity to abduct
Commodore Meade. On the 18th
of November. while writing letters
in private Office in New York,
Commodore Meade was suddenly
seized and forcib,y abducted by
these detective officers, and placed
in the Bloomingdale Lunatic Asy-
lum. Information Of this fact was
at once tcIegraphed to the would
be husband, and that person hast
ened to Staten Island, where next
day his marriage with Commodore
Mcade's daughter was consumma-
ted. 1t is stated that several friends
Of the Commodore and one promi-
ncnt physician have visited him at
the asylum, and the testimony Of
all is that he is in no sense insane.
The only mode ofrelieffor the Com
modore is by a writ of haJeas corpus
That has been applied for, and af-
ter a partial hearing Of the case, the
Commodore was discharged by
Judge Sutherland, on the Sth inst,
on the ground that whether or not

ence Of his children had at first
wrought him up to condition of
mere frenzy or of actual lunacy,
the boundary between which is
very indefinite, in either case the
Judge was satisfied, by the testimo-
ny of the physicians and by his own
interview in court with Commodore |
Meade, that the mental condition Of
the latter has improved and is not
now lunacy. Judge Sutherland
held that it would not do to regard
uncontrolled or uncomfortable
passion as lunacy." Some degree
of passion, or even frenzy, was natu
raj where the members of a family
acted in contempt of the authority
and wishes of the husband and
father. The fact is clear that Com.
Meade was kept in an insane
asylum for nearly month, and
that the object of his Incarceration
was to get him out of the way IN
| til an Objectionable sutton could
marry his daughter, and this was
accomplished through the conni-
vance of his own family.
i Another case of commitment to
an asylum f T the insane under
aggravating circumstances, oc-
CURED in Philadelphia Ebenezer
Haskell we'll known citizen Of
that city, of good standing, but Of
no marked peculiarities, was sent
by his relatives to DIR. Kirkbride's
institution in that city three
years ago. He was closely
confined, part of the time
with violent lunatics, and part in q
solitary cell. By persistent inge'
) nuity he succeeded in escaping 8
short time ago, but fell from the
, walls of his prison and broke one
of his legs in the attempt. 1t ap
pears from a suit which grew out o
this case, and has heen recently
' tried in Philadelphia, that Mr.
f Haskell was at the time of his com
mitment as sane as men ordinarily
S are, and that his confinement wa
$ one of those crimes against persona
a liberty which the vigilance Of al
e enlightened community has not ye
been able to prevent. Is it no

The oficiousness and ignorance
of druggists in administering doses
to people predisposed to "tal1e some
thing" was properly rebuked in
Brooklyn, New York, on Tuesday,
by verdict of five thousand dollars
against one Kennedy for giving
Mrs. Webster an overdose of NOR
phia.
1t is practice that has become
alarmingly prevalent among drug
gists. A few such verdicts would
teach them that it is their business
to compound and dispense only
and not to prescribe medicines.
