The FIRST NEGRO CONGRESSMAN. :
The New York Herald says. -


when the negro who had lust
been declared elected to Congress for
the unexpired term of the late Col.
Mann, formerly of the Federal army
and subsequently Democratic Repre-
sentative of the Second District of
Louisiana, shall present himself at
the Capitol, an interesting. important
and somewhat complicated question
viii! arise as to his eligibility. This
depends, of course, upon the date to
his title to citizenship. According
to the Dred Scott decision, all rights,
including that to citizenship, were
denied to the negro. And it is only
very recently that the Civil Rights
bill and the famous fourteenth
amendment have superseded the
Dred Scott decision. Now, accord
ing to the Constitution, no one is eli
gible as q Representative to Congress
unless he has been for seven years q
citizen, and no one is eligible as q
Senator unless he has been for nine
years a citizen. When, therefore,
the first negro claimant for seat in
the House of Representatives shall
offer his credentials, it must be decid-
ed at what date the citizenship of the
negro in the United States must be
fixed"
The Washington Eccniaa Express
adds:
"Before Menard can have his case
determined on, it will become neces-
Sary for the House to determ;po
whether the late Mr.. Mann was enti-
tied to his seat. It will be recollected
that Mr.. Mann was ut the time of
his decease the sitting member from
his district, but his seat was contest
ed, and the question was undeter-
mined, and is yet before the Com
mittee on Election. Should the
House decide that Mann's contestant
was entitled to the seat, Menard
would not be received, as he was
elected to fill Mann's unexpired
term"

A correspondent of the Charleston
Ne,os having asserted that the Demo
cratic members of the House refused
to sign the petition for the removal
of Judge Moses political disabilities,
G. G. Turner, Esq, Democratic Rep
resentative from Spartanburg, says:
"That neither Judge Moses nor
any Of his friends ever asked any
Democratic member of the General
Assembly to sign such petition, nor
was it known by them that Judge
Moses had gone to Washington, or
contemplated doing so, until the
aforesaid paragraph was published in
the Ne.rs. The Democratic members
are not only in favor of doing all
within their power to secure the re-
moval of Judge Moses disabilities,
but are also i'll favor of doing all they
can to have oN political disabilities
removed"

ORANGES AND LEsIoNs.- Messrs
j. & t. R. Agnew are we indebted for
several specimens of golden -colored
fruit from Florida--equal to the
West India productions. This bust.
ness is becoming very extensive, and
In short time the "fowery land"

STONE & MURRAY The press every
where speaks in tho highest terms of
this circus troupe and we can com
mend them to our citizens, who al
ways literally patronizesa good com
pany. The Raleigh Sentinel says:
"The performances of Stone &
Murrays circus last Saturday. were
real delights in this age of sham and
pretence. This is the first circus we
ever saw that completely filled its
bills, and redeemed its pledges of su-
periority. The resources of the
troupe are inexhaustible, and no one
can leave the pavilion withou prais-
ing the superb entertainments"
BURGLARS, BEwARE!-Our CORES
pondcnt, "Citizen," is referred to
Messrs. j. & I. r. Agnew, who will
furnish him with an article that will
effectually remedy the evil he COM
plains of. Messrs. A. have purchased
the right of Utley's patent burglar
alarm-a most useful, economical and
effective weapon-or series of wea-
pons, for it is discharged in four diff
ferent directions. AS these alarms
will doubtless, be brought into gene
raj use, the burglar business will be
attended hereafter with more than
the usual risk. They are admirably
adapted for either stores, dwellings, or
barns. The main objection heretofore
to weapons of this character-tb
high price-is obviated in Utley's in
vention; the cost being very low-less
than an ordinary bird gun. We have
been supplied with one by Messrs.
Agnew. for which they will please
accept our thanks.
CAsH.-Our terms are strictly cash.
Ii an advertisement is to be inserted,
hand over the money; if a paper is
subscribed for, the money must &C
company the order-otherwise no
attention will be paid to them. This
is rule which will be adhered to.
