e. .,.l. The Negro in Congress.

Every reader will remember the great
noise made by the democracy, when IL was
first proposed to give the right of suffrage
to the Freedmen Of the South. The Dem
ocratic party stood aghast, declaring negro
representatives in Congress would come IN
platoons prospectively the party protested
TO see scores Of black men, sitting by the
side of white men in the National Capitol
'Niggers ia Congress" was for many months
the chief THEME of the democratic PLATFORM
speakers and newspaper sctibblers, The
colored men at the south have now the
right Of suffrage they have exercised that
right in the late southern elections, wher-
ever they we're not prevented by violence
from tn late rebels. The resul. is, that.
in all the states of the South, there has not
been negro elected to Congress. In not a
few Of the Congressional districts at the.
South, the negroes greatly on THUNDER the
thewhites, yet they have not taken advan-
tage'of their numerical strength by sending
any Of their number to Congress, to terrify
theA#hite copperheads. Yet there are I'M,
questionably many colored men both north
and south, who on the score of public de
cency, morality and sound discretion, are
much superior to many of the Democratic
pursuation, who hold seats in the National
Legislature; especially is this true Of the
garrulous copperhead in Congress from one
of the northern districts in Wiscon
sin. ~3laI
Although none Of the predictions Of the
Democracy, respecting the evil copsequen:
ces to arise from giving colored men their
rights, have come to pass, yet the small
politicians still continue to cry ''nigger,''
with the hope of making some political
capital out of it yet. Men who fear indus
trial and intellectual competition with the
negro, have horrible dread of him. When
ever a Democrat is heard reviliDg the color
ed race, it may generally be assumed that
such Democrat, fears the negro will out !
strip him in the race for intelligence, if the
latter is allowed an equal chance in the
world. Tobe in constant dread of the ne-
gro, or any other race Of men, for such d
reason, is not very complimentary to the
intelligence of any one. s5i aies

1MPEACHMENT.-The accounts from
Washington, as to the probable termina-
ton Of the Impeachment trial are conflict
ing; some express the opinion that the
trial will DO brought to close the present
week others that it will not be ended be
fore some time next week. In the mean
time all sorts of rumors abound, as to the
result the conviction of the President is
confidently predicted by soms and others
appear equally certain, that his 'accidency''
win be acquitted. a

such measure as prohibition at the present time

interest is manifested on the subject even by the
Grand Division.
