AnsENTrEIsM IN CoNGREss.

The prOneness Of Democratic mem
bers Of Congress TO absent themselves
at critical moments from their seats has
been, for years past, a matter Of general
comment. In the last Congress, al
though in the Lower House the Demo
Gratis had a good working majority, at
the most important times, when meas
uree, such as the Tariff bill for IL
stance, were to be voted on, 1t was
common for Democrats to be alb
sent in sufficient numbers to enable the
Republicans to successfully raise the
point mo quorum.
A similar condition of affairs IS re-
ported now, and that too in face OF the
well-known and acknowledged fact
that the Republican majority proposes to
leave no plan or scheme, however revo-
lutionary, untried to increase their
strength and perpetuate themselves in
power. Our Washington correspondent
WlllcN rum tic rNtht VI 0NNibA AhNA Wv
main reliance of the Republicans is to
enact such legislation as will give them
control of the polling places North as
well as South. and, with this object in
view, orders have beeen served on all
the Republican members to be in their
seats in the House not later than Thurs
day next.
1t is more than ever incumbent on
Democrats to be on hand TO circumvent
these schemes. If they are, they may
be able to accomplish some good for
their country. II they are not. they
might at once surrender uncondition-
ally, and allow the Republicans to carry
out unmolested their nefarious designs
against the rights and privileges Of
American citizens. But in this event
they will be equally as guilty as the
revoludonis;s, and will be compelled to
share with them popular censure.

NEGRO TESTIMONY BEFORE con
GREssIONAL COMMITTEES.

GREsSIONAL COMMITTEES.
One of the most ludicrous and farcical
spectacles that the history Of contem-
porary events has presented, was the
appearance, on yesterday, before the
House Committee. on the election OF
President and Vice President. of dele
CATION Of FIVE negroes from Virginia to
give testimony as to the operation OF
the registration laws in the Southern
Federal elections. This delegation was
appointed by the negro convention that
met in this city on December 18th, AND
are worthy and consistent representa-
tives Of the sentiments and feelings OF
that ircendiary body. The principal
speaker in yesterday 8 hearing, was the
chairman Of the delegation, negro
known az A. w. Harris, and he Is re
ported to have enumerated at great
length, frauds which he alleged to have
been committed in our elections. ID
which line Of testimony, he was fol
lowed by all his associates, among
whom was included the notorious Ross
Hamilton.
To what weight the utterances Of such
witnesses as these with respect to Nir-
ginia political affairs are entitled. Is
we'll known TO our people; IN short
they are totally unworthy Of serious
attention, but to the Republican mem
bers Of the House committee, these at
terances had all the force Of the most
indisputabls facts, and will probably
be made the basis Of several violent
Trades against the southern method OF
carrying elections. Iii uchtestimony
as this that is used to fill the pages q
Republican scrap books, TO be turned tc

was done, for instance, by Senator
Chandler in his recent debate with Sena

tain matters connected with that State
The history of ali testimony on RECORD
might be searched, and probably none
could be found more unreliable ano
more deficient in every element OF
truth than the testimony delivered by
this particular delegation. which is but
a counterpart Of all the testimony pro
ceeding from negroes when their po
litical feelings and interests bias theii
imagination. Not since Titus Oates and
his infamous and heartless associate.
swore away the lives Of innocent and
honorable men and women, has There
been any testimony in court Of justice
as devoid Of decency, yeracity and jus
tice as that delivered by Southern he
groes before Northern political iubu
nails of various kinds. And yet these
tribunals accept such testimony as IN
capable Of refutation, and, therefore, al
possessing tho very highest credi
which can distinguish any testimony
