Representation in Congress.

Il was for many years matter OF complaint
by the Northern Abohtionists that, by reason
Of counting tbrce-ffths Of the negro popnla-
lion, the South had an undue representation IN
Congress. The answer was, If Won emaneipate
the slaves then the ,rhUle viii be counted
The fifteenth amendment brings in every body
and the result viii be an increase Of members
from the South. But there is no complaint
now. because the Radicals expect great results
from this increase. Very well, let them ENJOY
the advantage II can be but temporary, ior
the negroes viii End out tina: they are only to
be the tools of ambitious whites and in few
wears they will affiliate with their own people
Of the South, instead Of supporting the advent
urers from North and West.
LARGE calculations are made on the effect in
the Free States Of giving the suffrage to the
colorcd race. The Radicals expect to secure
BY this amendment all the doubtful States, and
think the addition Of four millions Of negro
votes will give them an endless lease Of power.
Why the total colored population, according
to the census Of 1860, was only 4,447, 7S0, and
allowing an increase Of one million, OF men,
women and children, the whole negro rote can
not possibly exceed two millions. Let them
ehuckle. The result in Connecticut is an in
dication Of the reaction most surely to come.

Slavery.

By reference to past records Of the country
it will be seen that the authorities of the ma
tion had in view the total extinction Of slavery.
A period was fixed for the termination Of the
African slave trade, aud the tenth article Of
the Treaty of Client, 10 Dec. 1914, expressly
pledged the two countries on the subject, in the
following terms:
Whereas the traffic in slaves is irreconcila-
bic with the principles of humanity and jus
tice, and whereas both his Majesty and the
United States are DESTROYS of continuing theiT
efforts 10 promote its entire abolition, it here
by agreed that both the contracting partie:
shall use their best endeayorS to accomplish SC
desirable an object
Various acts were passed by Congress opro-
hibit tho importation OF slaves, some Of them
treating it as PIRACY, and 4 squadron has lOns
been kept in the African coast to aid in sup
preston OF the traffic.

The Richmond Mayoralty Troubles

The Richmond municipal troubles, have been
transferred from Richmond to Washington.
After the adjournemnt of the supreme court on
Thursday last, Chief Justice Chase gave hear
ing to counsel. Associate Justice Nelson oc-
cupied seat on the right of the Chief Justice.
Judge Meredith, counsel for Ellyson, moved
to dissolve the injunction granted by Judge
Underwood against Ellyson and his associates
in the municipal government of Richmond.
Mayor Ellyson was represented by Judge
Meredith, and Hon. James Neeson Mayor
Chahoon by Ex-Govs. Wise and Wells. Able
and spirited arguments were made.
BY mutual consent of counsel, the above
case has been deferred until the May term Of
the United States Court for the district of Vir-
sinia. In the meantime municipal matters in
Richmond are to remain Stdtu quo-peace be-
ing preserved by two mayors, two sets of po-
lice, &c.

The Slave Trade.

In this age of progress, when slavery has
had its quietus in the United States and the
British provinces, it seems somewhat singular
that there has been no active interposition, by
the nations most deeply interested in the mat
ter, to induce Spain to prohibit the slave trad'
in Cuba. II is true pledge was given in the
celebrated Observation-Disclosures treaty to unite
against a continuance of the disgraceful traffic
but no striking results have followed; The
ninth article of the treaty Of the 9th August
1912, signed by Daniel Webster and Lord
Ashburton is as follows
Whereas, Notwithstanding all efforts which
nav be made on the coast of Africa for sup
pressing the slave trade, the facilities for car
rying on that traffic aud avoiding the vigilance
Of cruisers, by the fraudulent use of flags and
other means, are so great, and the temptations
for pursuing it, while q market can be found
for slaves, so strong, as that the desired result
nav be long delayed, unless all market be shut
against the purchase of African negroes; the
parties to this treaty agree that they will unite
10 all becoming representations and remon-
s,rances, with any and all powers within whose
dominions such markets are allowed to exist
and that they will urge upon such powers the
propriety and duty OF closing such markets
efIectually, at once aud forever"
Nearly 2s years have passed since the pledge
of interposition was made, and Cuba is still a
slave mart. The Cuban Insurgents have been
advised to strike off the shackles, with view
to securing practical sympathy on the part
of the United States Senator Sumner making
this a part of his policy but the act Of
emancipation would be a virtual surrender of
the government of the Island 10 negro rule
Such movement would only be safe in con-
uection with q transfer of the Island to the
United States.

Corruption Charges.

The Washington correspondent of the Balti
more Gazette, writing from Washington OIL
the 9th inst, says:
" There was quite an excitement in the
House this morning over series of charges
of corruption IN Office against General Howard
Of the Freedmans Bureau They were pre-
seDted by Mr.. Wood, Of New York. General
Butler, ever ready to defend rascality, said
that if Mr. Wood did not substantiate these
charges the House would take him Wood in
band Mr. Wood replied that he intended to
substantiate them, and when he got through
with General Howard he should take up the
hero Of Dutch Gap. 1t is to be hoped Mr..
Wood will carry ont bis intention. By the
way, Butler seems 20 have abandoned his
warfare on the newspaper correspondents.

AWFUL DEATH.-A correspondent at Up
perville, Va, gives US an account Of fearful
death at that place on the evening Of the SOth
of March. 1t appears that Mr.. j. W: Will
liams, formerly of Baltimore, and gentleman
of considerable property who has for some
time been residing near Upperrlle, had been
in the town during the day. Towards night
fall he mounted his horse and started in the d.
recton Of lone Some half mile from town
it is supposed, he dismounted, dives'ed himself
of his coat, and attempted to remount. The
animal, frightened at omc thing, started to run
and a few rods from where he started, Williams
lest his balance and fell to the ground, his head
striking a sharp rock, so that at this point a
teaSpoonful of the mans brains was found on
the rock. But his feet were entangled in the
stirrup, and in this condition he was dragged
against snag, by which hole three inches
long was torn into his entrails.- Winchester
