FIVE AcEs The present Congress
contains five negroes, who have super
ceded Clay, Calhoun, Webster, Cass
and Benton. We may expect some
statesmen.like speeches from these
"colored brethren during the present
session. Three Of these Africans
Dc Large, Elliott and Rainey-are
from the Ku Kluxed State of South
Carolina, whore the Radicals would
like to make the world believe the
negro enjoyed no privileges, and yet
they now rule in Congress. The
other two, Turner and Walls, are
from Alabama and Florida. Although
aces are good cards, these five will
never win game.

TREASON IN THE CAMP ?-The old
"Union Savers" gave the Pittsburgh
loyalists frst-rato thrashing at the
election for Mayor on the 5th. In.
stead of electing Morgan, the loyal
Grant candidate, by 1000 majority
Blackmore, Democrat, was elected by
1890 majority. Morgan was backed
by Grant, Cthc government" ,") all the
Federal and State Office holders, in
cIuding Cameron, State Treasurer
Maekey, and the loyal hosts of patri.
oic Allegheny county, and yet dc.
feated This horrible Ku Klux trick
should be investigated by Congress.
If Allegheny "goos back" on the gov
ernment, what will keep traitors and
Copperheads DOWN. A Democratic
Mayor in Pittsburgh is no joke, and
shows conclusively that another Tam.
many ring is broken aud that the
people arc waking up.

SLIpPERY.-There seems TO be great
trouble at Washington to keep Fish
in the Cabinet. That fish has been
going out ever since he went in. We
suppose its from the fact that Grant
is such a sucker himself, that the afore.

STRANGLED.-We arc right well
pleased that the organized robbers,
the tariff ring, has received a death
stab in the house of its friends, and
that, too, at the hands of the leader,
Speaker Blaine, who has so constitu.
ted the leading committee of Congress
as to enable the taxridden people to
be heard in their protests against
legalizcd robbery. The day is not far
distant when the tariff humbug will
explode with wonderful advantage to
the country generally.

A LOYAL GRowL.-The Philadel-
phia Press growIs wonderfully over
the act of Mr. Speaker Blaine, for not
placing the tariff humbug, Kelley, at
the head of the Committee of Ways
and Means, but in lieu has placed the
committee under the control of the
free traders and revenue reformers.
Tlus the editor exc'aim5: "We shall

auspices" What pity! Yet, what
blessing for the country!

MUST BE CoNvERTED.-The Philoso-
pher of the New York Tribune has
lately taken to telling the truth as
glibly as a Christian, especially when
dissenting upon the rascalities of his
party friends. If Greeley continues
to utter the truth in his present manly
way, we will not be surprised to hear
OF his dismissal by the stockholders of
the Radical bible. In his issue of the
I'd, among other things, he said:
We are heartily sick of the sentimental attempts
Of party managers" to cover up the corruption,
dishonesty and extrnyagancc OF the carpet bag
governments. The plea that exposure Of these
frauds will injure the Republican party is as
wicked as II is silly. Better thousand times
that the party be rcnt asunder than that any
crime for which II can be Justly held responsible
be covered up in It's own house. No party can
live long with such cancer concealed in is
bosom.

For the first time in ten years

craftsmanship. Real statesmen have
been superseded by mere pigmies,
whose avarice far exceeds all else.
The Senate is composed of two
members from each State, and there
being thirty.seven states the body
therefore contains sevcnty.four mem

From Washington.

Referring to the distribution of
seeds, tho Commissioner SAYS "I
am satisticd that the mode hereto
pursued is enormous. The quantity
sent is entirely too small for even an
experiment.. A pint or quart of
wheat, oats, or other cereal, cannot
be successfully grown and such cx
bcriitients almost almost uniformly
fail, BECAUSE tito Quantity Is too
small. I need not here discuss tho
reasons for this ; but tho result is
manifest to those who have tried the
experiment. 1t would bo far better
to put half or whole bushel of seed
into the hands of ono conscientious
aud careful person, than to divide the
sa,lic HuahtitS among ten Or twenty.

Mealncd Potatoes.

Potatoes are much liiorc nutritious
and palatablo if they arc prorHrly
steamed than they are boiled. Wash
them clean and place them in a steam.
or over boiling water. If the pota-
toes are Of good duality, the secret Of
having them m'cAIy and F.latabIc is
In steamipg them rabidly; nS Wit thout
rapid condensation Of stouln and DO
tention Of steam IN The steamer by n
close lid, the potatoes will be hard
and appear not to be done, however
long they have been cooking. They
should steam until the skin cracks,
and fork will easily penetrate the
centre. IF not to bc brought to the
table soon, they should Continue to
steam until wanted, as steamed po-
tatoes become solid much soor2er than
boiled ones do.
