A NEGRO IN CONGRESS.

On Saturday last, MENARD, the col.
ored claimant of a seat in Congress was
permitted to make speech in the House
of Representatives and Was allowed fif-
teen minutes to urge his claims. The
following were the proceedings on the
occasion:
Mr.. Blackburn moved, in the Louis.
lana case, that Simon Jones is entitled
to the seat which motion was lost. The
report of the committee, that Jones is
not entitled to the scat, was then adopt
ed. '.
\ resolution then came up declaring
the seat vacant, and the contest between
Menard (colorcd) and Hunt came up.
The contestants were allowed fifteen
minutes each.
A suggestion that Mcnard speak from
the clerks desk was objected to.
Menard then made his speech. Tie
said he appeared more to acknowledge
this privilege than to make an argument,
but would be rccreant to nine thousand
men of his race whose votes sent him
here if he did not vindicate their rights.
He claimed no special privilege on ac-
count of his color.
Mr.. Maynard, of Tennessee, moved
that Mcnard be- sworn in pending the
contest.
A squ;.LLlc cnsucd, in which Sp. kacr
Colfax had occasion to say to Mr. Chan

leave that to be decided by the record.
Mr.. Upsnn. from the Election Com.

the majority resolution, flat neither
Hunt nor Mcnard are cuttlcd tohe sea-.
Mr.. Kerr argued in favor of the mi
nority report that Hunt was entitled to
it.
The Grst vote was on the minority
report and defeated it-l36 to Al.
The next Was taken on Mr. Paine's
amendment seating Menard, aud dcieat-
ed it-l30 to 81.
The whole subject, on motion of Mr.
Dawes, was laii on the table without
division.
Mr.. Dawes moved that Jones and
Mcnard be allowed So 800 each to pry
the expenses of the contest, and accept.
ed an amendment including Mr. HINT,
and the Resolutions, as amended, Was
passed.
Mr.. Boutwell, reported bill techni.

BALTIMORE ROMANCE.

N'ore than d. zen years ago a noble
Baron, residing in the northern part of
Germany, slnittcn with the charms Of

purpose Of making triAing purchase,
TO h great astoni<llment he met face to

CHATHAM RAILROAD CAsE.-"It
will be remembered that Mr. Galloway,
of the Wilmington and Weldon Rail
road, as ore of the taxpayers Of the
State, filed bill and obtained an ininnc,
ticn against the Chatham Railroad Com.
pany. This injunction has been sus-
tained and made perpetual by the Su-
pieme Court.
To get this bill through the Lrgisla-
turc, the absent Editor of the Stan3a d
is said to have received a fee of $780,
900.
The bill appropriated 100000 dollars
for the road ; this decision will cripple
or stop many other wild schemes which
the Governor and his Legislature arc
now struggling to impose upon the pco,
pie of this State. This legislature ray.
ing little or no tax themselves, seems
blind, reckless. and indifferent as to the
tax they impose upon the people,"
The above from the Raleigh Sentinel
is the first information we have of the
result of the case referred to. This
Judgment will Of course retard the work,
but it does not necessarily defeat it. If
tie Company can get on without the
appropriation from the N. e. Legislature
it will go on-for it is only the right
to make the appropriation that was dis
puted, and is decided against the

commends itself so greatly to capitalists,
and VIC are under the impression that
the Company has assurances Of anuud.

is going on.

THE TEST OATn The "iron. clad
oath" which Congress long age enacted,
seems destined to cause quite as much
inconvenience TO the public interests as
to those who are deprived by it fr"m
taking. office. The Po>tofice Depart
mcnt continues to be i'm in ruandnry
about it, there being many postofslce
towns in the Southern States in which
nobody can be found who il able to take
it, So unanimously do the Southern
people seem to be aser>e to perjury thut
the Postvfice Department is compelled
to apply to Congress for relief, and a
bill introduced by Mr.. Norris, is now
before the House committee on recon-
struction, providing for the appoint:
mrnt of postn,a>ters in places where no.
body will swear the "iron-clad oath -.
According to this bill, the fact must be
established, in the first place, to the
satisfaction of the Postmaster General
that "no person can be procured to act
as postmaster for such offiee" e"who will
take the oath in question. Aud the
bill exprcssively provides how he shall
be satisfied Of this. It is to be done by
moro swearing; "by by afilavts to be
filed and preserved" First, all the iu-
habitants Of such village arc to be asked
to swear the "iron.clad oath" and rake
the postoffice. Upon the refusal oferery
one to do so, all Of the inhabitants are
to swear that none of them can or will
swear the sail oath, and all the oaths
that no such oath can be taken are to
be "6lcd ard preserved by the United
States. Then, aud tt en- only, the Post
master General may look out for some
"loyal," we!l-disposed," and in other
respects "net disqualifcd' person for
postmaster. . ... ..-
Here is circumlocution with q ven.
grance, and the more there is of it the
greater are The cmbarrassments which
are disclosed The New York Evening
Post, leading Republican journal,
suggests that a simple repeal of the iron
clad oath would solve all these Difficult
ties, and speaks of the oath itself as "a
mere seivc to catch men with cDn.
science. and to let men through without
it. 1t ought to be called law to pre-
vent mon of truth and yond rrputc from
"holdiug any Office in the States lately
