The introduction of the colored ele~
ment into the membership of the House
and Senate will inevitably lead to many
cases of mistaken identity, in spite Of
the amendments and the civil rights bill.
A friend of mine was the victim
the other day. He had come
hero from the West 10 see the sights,
and was engaged in the inspection of the
of its beauties. HI had been admitted
to the floor, and at the time of the incl
dent was seated in the cloak room. It
happens that there are several very we'll
dressed and we'll behaved colored servants
connected with the House, and always
on hand to execute the orders of mem
bers in the corridors and committee
rooms. My friend had seen several of
them obey the commands of members
and visitors, and as he needed little
waiting upon" jest then, he thought he
would muster one of them into his ser
vice. So, beckoning a neatly attired
citizen of African descent who stood
near him, and who modestly answered
his call, he said to him, Jim will you
show me the BARRIERS shop; l want to get
shaved and have my boots blacked."
This was a little too much for "Jim,"

need not say that the visiting gentleman
from the West was extremely mortified
at the indignity he had offered to one Of
the peoples representatives, and very
quickly bowed and talked his best apollo
gy. He made his way out of the cloak
room as quickly as be could, and vowed
that while he remained at the Capital he
would avoid the possibility of repeating
his mistake, by employing white ''help"
exclusively to do his little chores; and
vet he said he couldn't help what he had
done, as the colored walters resembled
the -colored members so closely that it
was impossible to distinguish one from
the other.

Mr.. Summers Great speech,

We devote a considerable space to tel.
egraphic reports of a remarkable four.
hour speech delivered yesterday in the
| United States Senate by Charles Sumner
The excoriation of President Grant is
absolutely fearful Mr. Sumner reviews
the whole administrative career of the
executive, and by this reflex we are al
most lostin wonder that in little more
than three years so many outrages upon
republican institutions and principles
could be perpetrated by any occupant of
the White House. The speaker arraigns
Grant for his scheme to annex San Do
mingo by treaty negotiated by Gen
Babcoek, one of his military family, out
raging both the constitution aud interna-
tiona law. He indicts him as a fomeu-
ter of discord in his party, and then
exposes shim to the scorn of the world
for his nepotism, gift taking propensities,
and prostitution of the powers conferred
on the executive for the benefit of the
country. He brings out the operations
of the military ring, with its fulness Of
evil Influence, and, in short, presents a
most formidable category of offences
against the president A feature of the
speech, which will create profound i'm
preston, is the narrative of an incident
that transpired at the deathbed of ex-
Secretary Stanton, when that high Re-
publican authority solmenly declared
Grant was incapable of carrying on the
government. Our Washington special
gives a reference to the contents of the
speech, but the more detailed report is
to the reader as modern
philippe of immense powers.-&. Loais

our travelling Princess.

We find in the Paris Journal the fol-
lowing interesting intelligence relating
to the success which our travelling Prin.
cess has met with in the fashionable world
Of Paris:
"Miss Grant, is one of the most highly
educated women in Europe. She speaks
with facility English, German, French
aud Italian. She has contributed under
the veil of an anonymous signature to
several American magazines. and on her
return to her own country she is to mar
~ the son of one of the richest manu-
facturers of New York, who is member
of the American Parliament"
Along with this important information
the Paris J Journal states that Miss Grants
journey in Europe has no political char
aeter, and that no misunderstanding be-
tween France and the United States is
likely to arise from any point of etiquette
connected with it. a.

Horace Greeley and the Negroes.

i
1t is rather amusing than otherwise to
observe with what askant glances the
colored men everywhere regard the phil
osopher and friend of their race, who,
through thick and thin, has, for upward
of thirty years, upheld the anti slavery
cause with pen and voice. Had it hap
pened that Mr.. Greeley had been nomi-
mated by the regular Republican Con-
vention at Philadelphia, and not By the
Liberal Convention of Cincinnati, the
enthusiasm for him among the blacks
would have been as uncomfortable as the
ine passion which the Wings displayed
for Harrison ID 1910. But now that he
represents for all men. white and black,
10 the United States. full and complete
equality, and is willing to receive the
support of all who believe in the dcing
away of political disabilities, and the
restoration of fraternal feeling through
out the country, they hold aloof forget
ting apparently that the advocate Of
such policy would be the last man in the
world to consent, under any circumstances,
to see the rights Tf white or black circum-
scribed. In his address to the colorcd
people at Poughkespsie, New York, last
week--an address, he promised to make
long before Ebe Eincfnuaf c6nvenfsou
was held-be said he hoped The time
would come "when there will be actual
political equality between the races" and
we have no doubt were he President, he
would, by his example and influence, do
what he could to break down the social
barriers, as be has done the civil and
political, and put all men practically on
the same footing throughout the country.
If there is one thing more than another
for which Mr.. Greeley has been distin-
guished. it has been his contempt for
those distinctions and Determinations
which have been drawn in society and
the State between races on account of
color and condition. We very much
loubt whether the colored men, with all
heir admiration for Grant, could draw
rom him so bold an ayowaI as that of
Mr.. Greeley at Poughkeepsie. He has
lot conquered the prejudices to the negro
Ehich he acquired in the Democratic
party before Col. Forney manufactured
Republican record for him in 1861

How a Parson Lost HIS vaIIse.
[From the New York Herald.1

On Friday evening, as the Rev. DR..
Paine, of Philadelphia, who has been
attending the Methodist Conference in
Brooklyn, was proceeding through Wash
ington avenue, he put down his black
valise in order to rest himself. While
looking in the opposite direction young
man of the 'aoafer order" approached
from behind the minister and picking up
the valise deliberately walked off with
it. The clergyman turned toward the
fellow in astonishment, and as soon as he
could recover his wavering senses he
pursued the voluntary and unwelcomed
porter whom he accosted with, Il say
my friend, that is my valise you have in
your hand"
"Get, out, 1 tell yer" replied the
young loafer, II found this yer valise
and l amt going to give it to you"
"But replied the clergyman, that yalise
is mine and must have it."
See here. old man, don't want no
trouble with you, but if you attempt to
follow me I'll punch you"
The clergyman followed at respect
full distance, in the hope of seeing apo
lice, but was unable to discover any, and
the audacious scoundrel got clear away,
leaving the Doctor to mourn his loss.

showing that ome;hing was wrong with
the jury as whole. They would find
ing, adjourn for dinner, al on meeting
again enough of the members would
desire to change their votes on the find
ing OF the morning to dismiss the case
Several charges for high crimes were so
disposed of, aud excited strong suspicious
among the honest jurymen and the citi
zens against the integrity of the grand
Jury as a body. One of the jurors states
that he was approached by man who,
in shaking hauds with him, left two ten
dollar bills in his grasp, saying he was
interested in certain case, and did not
want-a bill to be found. The juror told
his friend that he was not that kind of
a man, and refused the money, where
upon the pleajer for the criminal asked
him what his price was. The game did
not win with him. He related his ex
perience, and now the people aud papers
are after those members of the grand
iury who were absent from almost every
session, leaving bare lawful number to
find bills of indictment. and also those
whose minds were so variable that they
never thought in the afternoon as they
did in the morning. The fact is, the
grand jury. with large number of cases
before them. did just nothing at all, and
there is little doubt of the means en-
nloyed to render their sitting entire fu-
tile. When these facts came to light
the people we're thoroughly aroused, and
the whole affair is to be thoroughly in
