ANOTHER NEGRO CoNGREssMAN.-At a
large and enthusiastic meeting Of the Re-
publicaus of james City and the city OF
williamsburg, so We learn from the Ne'c
Nation, D. NJ. NORTON was declared to be
the choice of the party for Congressman,
and the delegates were instructed to vote
for him in the nominating convention. So
thoroughly has the district been gerryman-
dered, and so large is the majority Of negro
voters in it, that we take it for granted that
NORTON will be nominated and elected.
Even if he should not be nominated, how
ever, he will doubtless run as an indepen-
dent candidate, and be elected oil the same.
There are some four or five thousand more
negro voters than white voters in the dis
trict, and the negroes are determined to
have Congressman of their own color.
They do not intend to submit to the jugglcry
of nominating conventions unless their man
is successful.

ASHLAND Nav a. 1863


Early this morning magnificent landeau,
containing Lewis Lindsey and Joseph Cox,
of Richmond, drove into Ashland, and at
once there was commOtion among the
freedmen. 1t was understood that the visit
of these distinguished men was for the
purpose of presenting the claims of Porter,
of Norfolk and Chesterfield, before the PEG
pie of Hanover for the congressional noml-
nation from the district.
Your reporter made every preparation to
attend the meeting and take notes, but how
he was disappointed you shall hear.
Scarcely had the renowned Lindsey
alighted before Mr.. James was observed
striding in hot haste to meet him. Several
negroes followed, and at the corner of the
street leading to the African church we
were all amused to see q most furious quar-
rel between our distinguished representa-
tive and Lindsey. We couldn't hear, but the
pantomime was expressive. Violent ges-
lures and angry tones indicated the har-
mony of the meeting.
Presently there was a lull in the storm !;
and in apparent harmony the distinguished
visitors were seen walking down toward the
residence of Mr.. James. But instead Of en-
tering the house, they were invited into the
wood-shed, where u breakfast OF james
River shad was fried for them.
Ablock eoas spread ,oith newspaper, and,
seated upon logs, the Richmond delegates
partook of the Hanover inequalities.
After breakfast there was much talk, and
the party started down the street again.
Mr. James seemed more furious than ever,
and as he neared the carriage which brought
theguests, his voice rose to the highest pitch,
and we could hear such expressions as sYou
ought to be ashamed of yourselves )" I'm
grateful, after oil I've done for you !" "Such
man as Porter" "pll expose him !"
" Let him dare to meet me-" Lewis squared
himself and said in loud tone, "Well
we'll! you kin do as you please. come
here to help my man. Eff you is all pledged
to 60 for the ole man, why, 60 for him; Pm
swine for mine" This was oil that could
be heard. More and more did the wrath of
Mr.. James's soul seem to rise; more and
more furiously did he gesticulate, until,
fairly driven off from his purpose to speak,
the great Lindsey entered his carriage and
left.
The explanation of all this is that the
Richmond negroes are unit for Porter for
Congress, and Burwell Toler has gone back
on James, and announced that he "don't
think that Mr.. James are fifteen for no
Office"
My informer in regard to all these par
ticulars is white Radical of Hanover.

Thad Stevens.

There is no man in Congress who he's suf-
sered so greatly in reputation in conse-
ouencc of the impeachment movement as
has THAD STEVENS. He has for several
wears ruled with rod of iron the fools, IA
na,;cs. and knayes who follow his lead
in the House of Representatives. But
when the impeachment Of the President
had been determined on, and he was made
Manager, he OF once fell into his proper
place. Mere claptrap and denunciation
were not sufficient to insure conviction. So
BUTLER was made leader in the proceedings
in court, and BINGHAM appointed chief
speaker. There was no place for old THAD,
and nothing for him to do. However, he
was not to be put off for such reasons. He
considered himself equal to the occasion
and he cared not q straw for the opinions Of
the associate managers. He did not intend
to be overslaughed by any Of his own fol-
lowers. Accordingly, he insisted upon ma
king speech to the High Court Of Impeach,
ment. And such speech asst is. Old THAD
seems to have been ms much out Of place
among the able lawyers in the case as ao
interim THOMAS is among distinguished mill
tary men OF among Cabinet officers. His
speech was hardly noticed by Mr.. EvARTs-
never indeed, we believe, except by way OF
ridicule. We published last week the best
attempt at argument which it contained
The reader may draw correct inference Us
to the character of the remainder OF it.
Mr.. SrEyESs's health is in such q condl-
ton that it is hardly to be expected that he
will be physically able to assume again the
leadership of the House of Representatives ;
but even if he were, it is not probable that
he could ever regain the position he held
up to the time that this impeachment trial
showed him up in his true light.

WASHINGTON. Nav 8, 1868.

WASHINGTON, May 3, 1868.
The abusive epithets and extremely un-
parliamentary language INDUCED in by
Messrs. Washburne and Donnelly in the
House Of Representatives yesterday after
noon form the theme Of much talk in the
hotels and other public places in the city
to-day. While the remarks used are not
held to be in any respect as refined as they
were emphatic, general consent gives Dom
nelly the best of the contest. 1t will awaken
bitter feud between the two members,
which is bound to be adopted by their
respective personal friends in and out Of
Congress. It is noticeable that yesterday
while this excessively vulgar debate was
progressing there were very few or no calls
to order. The Speaker did attempt to stop
the effusion of hard words occasionally,
but the members who were present seemed
well-content to "let the ball go on" with
out interruption. A fever Of elimination
and recrimination seems to have manifested
itself in the House, and there is no doubt
that If it is allowed to go on, good may come
Of it. There is an old proverb which says
something about honest men receiving their
dues when less honest ones disagree. Per-
haps, out of such political wrangles, be-
tween members Of the same party, as oc-
Cured yesterday, some good may come.
Expectation is on tip-toe to know what will
happen tomorrow.
bingham is expected to commence his
closing up for the Managers Tomorrow.
The inpeachment men predict ON immense
effort for him but it is impossible that he
will cope evenly with the distinguished
iurists who have just closed the case for
the President. There is not much talk to-
day on the topic Of impeachment, nor is
there one-half SO great q rush for tickets
b get admission to the court as formerly.
The Radicals hope that Bingham, in bus
