OF General John B. Gordon, senator elect
from Georgia, the correspondent OF the Gin
cInnau Commercial says: "He has nothing OF
the Stephens In hlB composition. He is as
different as white Is from black. he is young,
ardent, stout, eloquent; full OF nerve, energy,
vim and push; brilliant orator, dashing
military of1cer, and q msn who never knew
fear. In the Southern army, he won the title
OF the brsvest of the brave. he ie forty
years old, we'll built, about medium height,
and rather slender, and would be handsome II

strength among the colonels, captains, and
lleutepants who make up good por'''n OF
the Georgia Legislature. They remember

tack ties are not severed in seven years."
-Oakes Ames Is a member of the present
Congress, and is not such an acqulsltlve cltl-
zen OF Massachusetts as might be supposed,
since he vetoed for the senate's amendment
to the bill abollsbng the ranking privilege.
But here We must qualify the commentator
of his vote by the statement that his term OF
service ends on the fourth of March, and the
law does not take effect until after that time.
It ls bard that we cannot work the corrup-
tonists out OF the slough, do what we may.
A Washington correspondent OF the New York
Herald writes the following about Ames !:
s'Supposng they should expel you, Mr..
Ames n asked one Of his friends. "Fxpel me,
sir expel me n exclaimed old Hoax. "What
do you mean, sir! Expel the hoDestest man
in the House Fshaw, they won't do IL; no,
sir" and he put his hand into his side-pocket
to see II the old wallet was still Safe. The
impression prevails among leading members
Of the House that Hoax is right. If arraigned
he will ask the member whose hands are clean
of jobs to cast the fret vote. No one knows
how many pledges the old pawnbroker has
got, and sure as fate Uncle Hoax will discover
sthat memorandum book" If he ls pressed
too hard.
Under the head "A Colored Congress

Messrs. Alcorn, OF Mississippi, Maynard, Of
Tennessee, and Elliott, of South Carolina, tu
prepare an address embodying the views of
those assembled, and submit 1t TO the Presl-
dent. When the chair Senator Sawyer, Of
South Carolina named the committee, Mr..
Elliott, IA colored Congressman from South
Carolina, an Intelligent, bold, aggressive, vim
dlctive man, who has all the features OF an
African, and is very black,) rose, and with
some show OF feeling In the matter, positively
refused to serve on the committee. He saw
that reason was expected, and he gave 1t.
He said that the relations between himself
and the Executive were such as to prevent
communication between them except In
cases Of absolute necessity. He warmed Into
the subject of personal opposition to the
President until he could not conceal his Bit
terness. The effect upon his audience was to
create feeling of general disgust. The
chair quietly substituted Mr.. Ratney, another
colored Congressman from South Carolina,
g man who is universally respected here, and
the meeting was adjourned after motion
had been passed adding Senator Sawyer to
the committee"
