we quote the Washington correspondent
of rigid Radical paper, the Newark On.
J.) Advertiser, who says:
''The withdrawal of four of the car
pet baggers-Wsrner of Alabama, Alb
bott of North Carolina, Mcdonald of
Arkansas, and Harris of LOuisisna-ex-
cites little regret, and the attempt of the
first two to hold their seats as against sue

Mcdonald for Gov. Clayton, but will

Harris, the sitting Senator.

A WRITER in the National Standard,
the "colored" organ at Washington gives q
pitiable account of the squalid poverty
prevailing among many of the blacks of
that city. Thousands of them, it seems,
are there without employment, and the
writer calculates that it would require a
million dollars annually TO relieve the
wants of the INDECENT negroes. While
these complaints are being made, and
they are not confined to Washington, the
planters in the Southern States experience
great difficulty in securing q sufficient
number of hands to carry on their farm.

a sest in Congress. He is said to have
been a man of great ability and high

term of service as a Circuit Judge, he has
remained in obscurity from that time TO
this. And what does the reader suppose
contravened all his ambitious hopes, re-
pressed all his powers, and kept him in
lifelong Punishment from public life9
The story goes that he voted in favor of
increasing the salaries of members of Con-

favored bill to make it 81, 500 per year,
