ECONOMY in the Kitchen.

Prudent housekeoperS are ever on The alert to
practice economy in the culinary department. In
no way can this be done more efsctualy than in
the use of a Baking Powder which combines
purity, strength and reliability. DooLEY's YEAST
PowDER has attained the deserved reputation of
being economical, convenient and wholesome,
besides which it will produce from barrel of
-four twenty-five to forty pOundsI moro bread,
rolls, &C., than by the old process of raising
dough with bakers or hop yeast. Here alone is a
great saving, and authorizes tno guarantee that
it will give entire satisfaction. -t

Beast Butler Fools a South Carolina

The Washington correspondent of the New
York Herald, describing the organization of the
new Congress, tells the following
Whom the drawing for seats took place in the
House last Saturday Ben Butler did not happen
to be present. All the best seats were, OF course
selected upon that occasion, and Butler had tt
take back seat. This did not suit him, and To-
day he was on the lookout for more eligible posi-.
ton. Among the fortunate ones at the drawing
on Saturday were the negro members from South
Carolina, Messrs. De Large and Rainey. They
selected seats near General Banks, on the left o
the Speaker, about halfway up the hall, in q
commanding position. In scanning. the hall
Butler's eve rested upon the seat occupied by De
Large. He Immediately coveted it, and going to
the negro asked him if he had any objections to
exchange seats. The negro seeing it was Butler
who addressed him modestly inquired =
"Where is your seat, Massa Butler"
"Back there" said Ben, pointing to seal
away in the rear.

In the meantime Sergeant-at-Arms 0rdway
who is very persuasive with the negroes, vent to
De Darge and succeeded in Inducing him to
change seats with Butler. Ginnery TwicheA
another Massachusetts, member, who had been un-
lucky in drawing seat, seeing the Success Of
Butler with one of the negroes, concluded that he
would try similar game with the other. He i'm.
mcdiateIy started for Rainey, the other lucky
eolorod brother from South Carolina, and asked
him if ho had any objection to take seat little
further back. Rainoy was a member of tho last
House, and, coming in late in the session, had
been assigned hack k'scat Unlike De Large he
had had some experience, and he had no disposi-
ton to rcpcat.it

aWell, you sco," said Ginnory, with a smile
that was childlike and bland. "you won't have
much occasion to address the Speaker, and one Of
those seats back there viii suit just MS we'll for
writing letters. You know our Stats has always
stood up for the right of the colorod people,"
"Thank you," said Rancy. az think would
rather sit here, If it's all the same"
Ginnery went away, laboring under the i'm
preston that few weeks in the House has q
wonderful effect upon negro.

Glorious News From New England
New Hampshire Wheels Into Democratic Line
New Hampshire held her election on Tuesday
the 14th inst. for Governor, Congressman and
Members of the Legislature, and th, result Wat
the signal defeat of tho Republican party in that
State.
New Hampshire, has been, for sixteen years
under the control Of the Republicans, but these
have reached the end OF their rope at last. Wes,
ION, the Democratic candidate for Governor, and
all the Democratic candidates for Congress have
been elected-Hubbard, in the 1st District; Bell
in the End and Parker, in tho 3rd. Those will
succeed the three Radical members Of the last
Congress-.
The days are coming, gentlemen-though slow,
ly it may seem to us-when the cnrpet-baggers
renegades and negroes who now hold high carni.
val in South Carolina, will be sternly made tc
know their places. In fact We would not be sur
prised if the whole North should become SO Dem
ocratic as to make the Government pay u0 for oul
negroes. Justice will not be done until We are
paid for them in one way or another.

The Last Desperate Hope of Radical

As last desperate hope the trembling and un-
happy Radicals have resolved upon Ku Klu1
war-a terrible war against the Southern Ku
Klux. For this purpose the session of Congress
is being prolonged for the passage of measures
which the Radcais vainly hope will enable them
to inaugurate civil strife and boodshsd in the
South and revive the war spirit in the North. By
this means they expect to restore harmony in their
own ranks, and divert the attention of the peo-
pie from their usurpations, corruption and mis-
government. In all this however, it now seems
likelJ they will be disappointed.

The BLACK CoyeREssMAN.-A Washing
ton dispatch of Tuesday, to the New York

The sensation in the House to-day was the
maiden speech of Mr.. Elliott, the negro
member from South Carolina. Mr. Beck. Of
Kentucky, haG introduced general amnesty
bill, ard it was on this that Elliott made h:s
speech. He is very dark negro, but evi
IDENTIFY the ablest of the five black men in
the present House. General Butler, who
had the floor, yielded to Elliott, who spoke
from seat in the immediate vicinity Of
where Butler sits. Elliott is well educated
and has good deliver7, rather inclined to be
impassioned. He charged down in good
style upon tie Ku Klux, and then alleged
that Trey were sustained aad countenanced
by the Democratic party of the North in
general and Tamnany Hall in particular.
B ah Democrats and Republicans gathered
around him as he spoke, this being the first
speech by negro in the House. AT the
close of his speech he was warmly con
graduated by several prominent Republicans.
The bill was finally defeated, but whether on
account OF Eiott's speech is not known.
