A CoLoREn CoNaREssMAN.-The Washing
ton correspondent OF the New York Times

A CoLoRED CoNaREssMAN.-The Washing
ton correspondent of the New York Times
writes
There is, after all, chance that colored
representative may have G seat in the Fortleth
Congress. By the rejection Of the returns OF
certain parishes in Louisiana, Menard, negro.
is declared elected to fill the unexpired term OF
Mann, Democrat, and deceased. Menard will
get the certificate, which will be prsnaa Jacie
evidence Of his right to be Manns successor,
and he must be admitted to the seat, and Hunt,
Democrat, who is defeated by the rejection OF
the returns, will have chance to contest Me-
nard's seat. But the original certificate OF Col
onel Mann having been contested by one Simon
Jones, Republican, both Menard and Hunt will
be ousted if Jones is successful. not, then,
provided things are done in the usual way,
Menard is the sitting member by virtue OF the
certificate, and Hunt is the contestant. But
things may not be done in tho usual way. TO
admit Menard involves the recognition of the
legality of the l,te election. Hence there may
or may not be colored gentleman in the For
tieth Congress. Altogether it is very curious.
" complicated case, and involves at least half
dozen questions, including one OF color.

whether Congress win grant the appropriation
OF three hundred and seventy-eight thousand
dollars asked for, for the purpose of opening
Hell Gate, or, failing to do SO, is there public
spirit enough among our merchants and ship
owners to do it themselves? The general
opinion is that it is the duty of the general
government 10 open this water highway, under
their authority to regulate highways and post
roads. 1t may be that the project has been
retarded by the considerations attending the
several plans referred to in General Newton's
report. There are evidently conflicting inte-
rests at work upon the influence of Congress.
1t is pity the report does not present some
project other than merely "as basis of calcu-
lation, the cheapest being over two millions.
which would be cheap enough if the work was
effectively done.

The NicolsOn Pavemcp.

The progress of laying this pavement has
thus far established its usefulness not only as
producing better road for horse travel, but
as an agent in relieving many of our crowded
highways and increasing the value of real
estate in those localities where il is now in
use in the city. Take Mercer street, for ex-
ample-hitherto very insignificant street, as
far as the value of real estate was concerned
and since the Ncolson pavement was adopted
very large percentage has been added to the
value of property there. We have examples
of this pavement in Nassau and William streets,
and they are entirely in its favor. In some Of

our debt is larger than ever and the cost of
government is nearly as great as during the
war. There is no prospect of bettering the
condition of the country so long as the same
men who have ruled since the suppression of
the rebellion continue in power for they have
shown their incapacity either to restore the
rebel States or to properly govern the loyal
States. Their laws have spread military
despotism and negro supremacy over one third
of the country. They have given bonus of
one hundred million dollars to the wealthy
manufacturers and transferred the burden to
the agricultural commercial and laboring
classes. The unconstitutional and abominable
income tax is enforced more vindictively than
ever, and the only means by which general
crash and ruin can be postponed is by food
ing the country with another hundred millions
of paper money.
These are the facts that will present them
selves to the people in the next election and
that will turn their votes against the radical
republican nominee, whoever he may be. The
verdict at the polls will be rendered against
corruption, violence and misrule, and the mill
tary reputation of Grant or of any other Gen
eral will be powerless to change the result. It
is for the conservative republicans to decide
whether they will at once take their position
against men whose policy they detest and
whose honesty they mistrust, and by acquitting
johnson and nominating Chase for the Presi-
dency secure to themselves the future admin
istration of the government, or whether they will
lie down under the heels of the radicals and
share in their defeat in the next election. Let
them decide at once; for whatever may be the
result of impeachment its consequences will be
fatal to radical republicanism, whose over
throw will only be the more complete if its
three years Of misrule should culminate in the
deposition of the constitutional President, after
mock trial, and the revolutionary transfer of
the government to the hands of blasphemons
and ignorant backwoods politician.

The News Of the .World-NIodern Jnl-
provements.
The news of the world as laid before our
readers every morning in the HERALD, COM
pared with the age just preceding the intro
duction of the electric telegraph, affords a
striking illustration of the progress of ''modern
improvements. Take, for example, the
HERALD of yesterday. In addition to its
usual budget of local intelligence on all sorts
of subjects, its news from Washington and
from all sections of the United States and from
her Britannia Majesty's North American
provinces, and from the West India Islands
and South America, and in addition to page
of interesting European correspondence and a
page on the very remarkable state of things
existing in Mexico, we gave two columns Of a
graphic description of the tremendous volcanic
eruption of that king of the earths volcanoes,
Mauna Loa, Of the Sandwich Islands, in.
the Pacific Ocean, and column of the opera
the uttermost bounds of ancient Egypt. Thus
it will be seen that New York and San Fran
cisco are becoming the focal points of the news
of the wide world, as they are becoming the
central points of the commercial exchanges of
both hemispheres. Nor is the day far distant
when New York will overtop even the imperial
cosmopolitan city of London in the traffic of
the Atlantic and San Francisco, in the trade of
the vast Pacific, to China, japan, Australia
and the surrounding islands, will be the popu-
lous magnificent and still expanding empire
city Of the West
