Negroes in the Next Congress.

There seems to be a strong probability that
the negroes of the South will insist upon being
represented in the lower House of the next
Congress. There are quite number of dis
tricts in which the blacks have large majorities,
and they will naturally incline to the support
Of candidates Of their own color. The ex-rebels
will vote for negroes in preference to Yankee
carpet baggers, and will be justified in so doing.
Black Congrcssmen will at least represent their
own race, while the miserable carpet-baggers
will represent no class Of the community in
which they have located We should not be
surprised to see from twenty to thirty negroes
in the Forty-second Congress The ventilation
of the House will need to be improved.-Ldn-
caster Pa Hlielligeneer.

Grants Adventure.

President Grant, accompanied by his son,
undertaking down Pennsylvania avenue Mon
day, WAS followed by a suspicious looking man
named Terrence Cassidy, who at divers times
attempted to draw the President into conversa-
ton. As this was refused, be threatened Pres
ident Grant with assassination, and showercI
abuse upon him. The President at FIRST did
not heed him, but as the man kept on follow
ing him he called an officer, asking him to take
Cassidy into custody, as he was evidently crazy.
The officer arrested him, and the man was taken
to the Central Guard-housc Terrence Cassidy
WAS pronounced insane by the police surgeons
and sent to the Government Insane ASYLUM.

IN a recent letter to the Topeka Cotz-
nsopzOealkk. Col. Moonlight of Kansas,
gives the descriptive list of Red Cloud
and his associate braves, who were
recently honized and feted at New York
and Washington. During the late re-
belIion this same Red Cloud was prom
inent in several forays against the set
tiers Of western Kansas and if Col.
Moonlight's charges are true is one Of
the most savage and meTciIess cutthroats
extant. The outrages and brutalities ex-
ecuted by him and his tribe upon the
white people of the frontier at a time
when the Government was powerless. to
protect them wereof the most fendisb
character. The very. plumes or eagle
feathers worn BY him and Spotted Tail
at the recent 'soirees givenin their hon
or were emblematic OF the number of
Of victims they had Drained, scalped
or disemboweled. Col. Moonlight
commanded part Of the forces sent
against these savages at the time oftheir
incursions. and was therefore acquainted
with the facts in regard to their butcher
les. In common with the opinion which
prevails universally among the people
of the frontier, his belief is that Phil.
Sheridan's way is the only effective one
70 secure peace with the Indians.
