Recalled by the Return of a Col
ored Man to Marietta.
Special TO the Register.
MARIETTA, O., March 25.-The re-
turn from Washington, D. c., of Isaac
F. Norman, a celebrated man who now
owns the farm upon which Camp AL
ger was located, recalls one of the most
interesting cases in the court records
of the pioneer county of Washington.
In 1866, Norman was the first colorcd
man to offer his ballot at an election
in Washington county. Notwithstand-
ing the fact that this vas a strong anti.
slavery section, the judges of election
refused to accept the ballot.
Norman at once brought a suit in
court for $4,000 damages and after a
bitter contest won it, although the
jury estimated the franchise which he
had been denied to be worth only SIS
and gave him judgment for that
amount, with costs. The judges of cleo
ton were forced to pay the sum out
of their own pockets. Norman has
long held a responsible position in the
Treasury department at Washington
and is now wealthy.

FUNNY MEN IN CONGRESS.

Congress always has its funny man.
 Sometimes there are two or three. The funny man of this house is Private John Allen, of Tupelo. He has held the
 position for the past ten or twelve years. Before him was Sunset Cox, whose heart was broken because the house would not take him seriously long enough to make him speaker. Al len also has been handicapped by his reputation as a humOrist. He is the ablest man in Mississippi, and the best known, and yet he has never been able to secure an election to the senate. This is Aliens last congress and so the place will be vacant scon. will prob ably be filled by Champ Clark. When Senator Mason, of Illinois, was in the house of presentatives, his reputation was that of a humorist, and nothing else.-Ainslee's Magazine for December
