Vance and Settle had both better settle
down to the conclusion that each did what
he could for the Coniederacy, and let IL SO

tt is said. however, that the Washington
Government furnishes Settle anything ne
wants from the rebel archives as to Vance's
record. but will not furnish Vance single
document as to Che rebel record OF Captain
Settle. This is not in accordance with the
constitutional amendments, which guaran-
tee equal rights to all.
CONGRESSIONAL. ~
The Democrats are likely to carry every
congressional district but one. NO, tnaC Is
little too strong, for there is one Wnich Is
so evenly balanced that the Republicans
have living chance to get it, although the
Democrats carried it the last election. When
the civll-rights bill gave the Democrats the
Legislature they redistricted the State,
throwing all the heavy black counties into
one district (the Seeond); which they gave
bodily over to the enemy, but managed to
carry all the rest. This Second district has
Republican majority of about $4,000, ana
all black. At the last election the blacks
insisted upon giving the place to one OF
their own color, Lyman by name. He was
great success as a congressman III one
respect-he succeeded in ver-draw1ng ms
salary $500. 1t is proposed to credit this to
the next term and il SO, it will have to
come out of the pocket Of Governor Brog'
den, who is to be chosen as Hyman's sue
cessor. The blacks are cured OF the vanity
of being represented by black man. So
they took white one this time, and the
question is discussed among them as to who
has to lose that $500. a.-
| In looking over the districts it seems to
me that the Republicans may make gain
4 of one, but it is more possible than proba'
BILE. The chances seem about even. ="
