opinion Of some that the young man did not

prccaution to wrap shirt around his neck to
keep the rope from cutting, and had also made

An Outrage In Congress.

Walter d. Powden, a coiored man from
New York, was in tho army in South Caro-
lima, and was detailed on duty rs spy under
q pass from General d. Hunter IN 1862 until
1864 when ho was captured and held as Il
prisoner by tho rcbs at Columbia and else.
where until his escape in February, 1865. For
this service and suffering ho presented
claim for $1,000. On the Sd of March, 1869,
he was paid 81, 900 on the claim. Tho matter
has hung in Congress since, aud has been re.
vived during the present session. Mr.. Bragg,
chairman Of the committee having the matter
in charge, has refused to afford opportunity to
tho claimant to make proof OF tho claim, aud
has, without proper consideration, reported
against It. This seems to be IN accordance
with the Democratic policy Of doing all for
the rebs aud nothing for the Union man, es.
pecially if he is c0lore,l, who served tho cause
of the Union. and such injustice need surprise
no one, There may yet be day Of justice
for tho Union man. but it isn't now by any
