The First Sworn i'm.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12-The first
negro was sworn in and took his seat
to-day. This is Hon. Joseph H. Ra-
mey, successor to Whittemore, from
the First District of South Carolina
He is SO years of age, and was born
in Georgia. His parents both being
slaves, he never attended school in
his life, but has managed to pick up
quite fair knowledge of the rudi-
ments, and is considered now to be
more than an ordinary speaker and
writer. He took his seat to-day in
the extreme southwest corner of the
House, ON the Republican side. The
impression his appearance created
was very favorable. He is a bright
mulatto, and has an intelligent face
and well shaped head. His first
vote was cast in favor of Banks San
Domingo resolution.

Political Parties.

We should be gratifed and in
structed by the information from
any one capable of giving it, of the
grounds, ideas and policies, upon
which political parties in this coun-
try are now divided. We read in
vain the leading papers of the coun-
try to gain some definite ideas On
this subject. There is the same free
use Of names, of party cries and
can't, as when there were distinctly
defined opposing parties in the ma
ton, but as to any live issues, any
substantial divisions and antagon-
isms of principles or measures, we
are left entirely in the dark New
er before in the history of the poll
tics of the country have opposing
parties appeared to us to be reduced
so nearly to a mere contest for spoils
and power, with programmes made
up of distractions, prejudices and
passions arising from past transact
ions, irreversible facts and adjudi-
Gated issues.-[N. o. Times.

Removal of Political Disabilities,

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-In the Sc.
nate Mr.. Kellogg asked, and by un-
animous consent obtained leave to
introduce a joint resolution Is. r.
No. 256) for the removal of political
disabilities; which was read twice
by it's title.
Mr.. Kellogg-I ask that the joint
resolution be read in ertenso.
1.-The Chief Clerk read as follows:
Be 1t resolved, ETC., (two-thirds of
both Houses concurring,) That all
persons now disqualified to hold Of
flee by the third section of the four
teenth article of the amendments to
the constitution of the United States
are hereby relieved from such disa-
bility, and the same is removed from
and after the passage of this joint
resolution.
Mr.. Kellogg-Mr. President, until
such time as the committees are
properly organized, | desire that the
joint resolution just read be laid on
the table. desire, further, to state
that since the close of last session of
Congress the State which I have the
honor in part to represent has, by a
vote very nearly approaching una
nimity, stricken from her organic
law, the clause imposing political
disabilities. I give. notice that at
an early day / shall call up the res
olution and move its reference to the
appropriate committee; and I shall
ask early action ON the part of the
Senate. I think, sir, the time has
arrived when action should be taken
in that direction. The fundamental
principles of the Government de-
mand it; equity, justice, and sound
policy also demand it; and, in my
judgment, the interests of the coun-
try will be promoted by such action.
The Vice President-The joint
resolution will lie On the table for
the present.

New ORLEANS, June %, 1870.
j. H. GARDNER,
agent Grouev s. Baker Seeing Machine Co
No. la2 Canal Street, New Orleans
Sir-We are much in want of yonr FAMILY
SEWING MACHINES, and propose to give you
in exchange for them, one each, Singer G.
Wilson. 1t yon accept our offer it will take
from as the last Of Ave of the other patterns
of machines that we have disposed of to give
pace to yours.
I'VE have had much experience with several
of the leading Sewing Machines, and feel that
we can say, without injustice to any one, that
the Elastic Stitch Machine of your Company's
make it far superior to any that We have used.
It's simplicity, small effort required to operate,
and the great strength and elasticity of its
seam, are qualities we have never found equal
ed in any other. Since the introduction of
your Sewing Machine into our Asy luni, it has
always been the favorite with our children,
and often source of much contention among
them, as to who should have the privilege OF
its uss.
During the past two years we have had FIVE
of your Sewing Machines in constant use,
and large quantities of work Of every descrip-
ton for families has been done on them. We
have never had any complaint from those for
whom the work has been done, but ON the
contrary much praise for the beauty and per
fection Of the machine stitching.
We most earnestly hope that you will &C
cePt our proposition to exchange, and favor
as by sending your machines at the earliest
opportunity. SISTER ANGELICA.
Directress St. Elizabeth Orphan Asylum.

Hepatitis or Liver Complaint,
DYSPEPSIA AND SICK HEADACHE.
SYMPTOMS of a Diseased Liver.

Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.
DAM in the right side, under the
Il edge Of the ribs, increase on pres
sure; sometimes the pain is in the
left side; the patient is rarely able
to lie on the left side; sometimes
the pain is felt under the shoulder
blade, and it frequently extends to
the top of the shoulder, and is some
times mistaken for a rheumatism in
the arm. The stomach is affected
with loss of appetite and sickness;
the bowels in general are coseise,
sometimes alternative with lax; the
head is troubled with pain, accom-
panied with a dull, heavy sensation
in the back part. There is generally
a considerable loss of memory, ac-
companied with a painful sensation
of having left undone something
which ought to have been done. A
slight, dry cough is sometimes an at
sendant. The patient complains Of
WEAKNESS and debility; he is easily
startled, his feet are cold or burning,
and he complains of a prickly sensa-
ton of the skin; his spirits are low;
and although he is satisfied that exer-
else would be beneficial to him, yet
he can scarcely summon up fortitude
enough to try it. In fact, he dis
trusts every remedy. Several of the
above symptoms attend the disease,
but cases have occurred where few
of them existed, yet examination Of
the body, after death, has shown the
LIVER to have been extensively de-
ranged. .... .....-

THE HAIR VIGoR MAN.--An
Iowa paper says" At the ftIne-
raj of a young man i'm Des Moines,
recently, the services of the dead
took place at the dwelling of the
parents. After most pathetic ad-
dress, which brought tears from all
the young ladies present, the minis
ter inquired if any of the dear
friends of the deceased wished to
say anything On this solemn occa-
sion. A stranger here stepped for
ward, and, after expressing sympa-
thy with the friends of the deceased,
remarked that the ways of Provi-
denee were inscrutable, and i'm con-
nection he wished to mention that
he was the agent for a frst-rate
article of hair vigor for the state
of Iowa. The corpse had used it for
years with great advantage, and he
confidently recommended it, e.
pecially to the minister and under
taker present, as he perceived they
were both painfully bald. Shake
the bottle, gentlemen, and rub the
matter well with stiff brush,' said
he. At this stage of the proceed
ings a slight disturbance occurred,
and the hair vigor man disappearedp

Among other anecdotes told of
Gen Magruder the followingis is not the
worst. The General is notorfously
proud of his genealogy, and when
a gallant officer in the United States
army, never lost an opportunity to
regale his hearers with stories of the
deeds and prowess of his Scotch an
cestors. Meeting an old Scotchman
on one occasion, many years ago,
Magruder entered into conversation
with him, and delighted to learn
that he hailed from the same section
of the " Land o. Cakes" from which
the McGregors (his ancestors) came,
asked him If he had known old
McGregor. The countenance of the
old man lighted up as he replied:
