MORRISSEY OR MITCHELL.
As a gratuitous insult to the decency of
the whole country, the mob which domi
nates New York city has sent to the XLth
Congress an ex-prize fighter, a professional
gambler and keeper of a gambling-saloon,
a man who has been several times in jail
for assault and battery. It is true, John
Morrisseyis no worse than many a pretender
to gentility and chivalry of the loftiest
kind, deputed to represent the South in
Congress, in the palmy days of the ascen
dancy of the slave power. On the whole,
we prefer the open, sledge-hammer style of
brutality, to that veiled in high-sounding
names and armed with the stiletto and the
duelling-pistols. Still, the difference is too
slight to be made a matter of congratula
tion. We do not think a country is worth
fighting for, which is delivered from the
race of the Keitts, only to be handed over
to the Morrisseys and the Rousseaus.
Mo , rrissey represents the constituency
which, perhaps of all the North, is most
intensely opposed to negro suffrage and po
litical equality. The rioters of 1863,
doubtless, voted for him in a mass, and
would, no doubt, vehemently protest that
they were degraded if a negro were allowed
equal privileges at the ballot-box with
themselves. John Morrissey, the culmi- I
nation and embodiment of American hos
tility to the elevation of the negro—will
not the exhibition itself give a death-blow
to that hostility ? With the appearance of
the vulgar prize-fighter, the gambler, and
the victim of the criminal law in the high
est legislative courts of the country, will
not a new sympathy and enthusiasm arise
for the race over which his election is con
sidered a triumph ? We are sure many a
citizen is wishing, in his heart, that some
respectable colored man might be put in
his seat, and the nation thus be saved from
the intolerable disgrace in store for it.
_Meantime, the most cultivated and ele•
gent constituencies 'in thw, land have just
triumphantly elected two 'colored men to
represent them in the State Legislature.
'One of these was a brave soldier in a Mae
t3achusetts regiment, named Mitchell, who
was wounded in one of those desperate
campaigns on the Southern coast, in which
•our colored volunteers won such imperish
able laurels. We put the act of the refined
and highly educated Bostanians over against
, the act of the New York mob, and ask
, candid men, who have been prejudiced
against the negro, to ponder the contrast.
'We verily believe that such prejudice is
not only abominable before God, but that,
indulged in by respectable men, it must
nourish the vile and malignant despite of
the ignorant towards this class, and blind
them to the great distinctions of character
on which
, alone true worth and fitness for
political privilege are. founded. Give us
Mitchell, whose blackness is but skin veep,
in place of men who are black through
and through ; give us respectable black
men in places of power, as a guarantee
against that dreadful corruption of public
sentiment, which color-phobia, indulged in
, and encouraged, is sure to produce.

THE EXECUTIVE.
Hon. Lewis D. Campbell, Minister to
Mexico. aad Lieut. General Sherman sailed
from New York on Saturday for Vera Cruz.
Upon these appointments the Tribune re
marks :—" Lieut. Gen. Sherman is a soldier
of eminent capacity and patriotism, but not
of eminent discretion. Minister Campbell
has General Sherman's undesirable qualities
without his good ones. We only express
what every well-informed person must feel,
that the conjunctionis ill-starred and ominous
Hof grave trouble.—What right have we to
impose the rule of Juarez, or of any one else,
on the people of Mexico ?"
STATES AND TERRITORIES.
New Jersey.—Gov. Ward has appointed
Hon. Frederick T. Frelinghuysen, U. S.
.Senator, to fill the vacancy caused by the
-death of Mr. Wright.
Ohio.—ln Cincinnati, thus far, 4000 cases
.of cholera and. 1700 deaths are reported.
There were 441 deaths from cholera during
the month of October.
Indiana. —The Colored Equal Rights
League had a session in Indianapolis, Nov.
Sth, and a_ppointed a committee to memo
rialize the Legislature on behalf of negro suf
frage. Delegates were also appointed to the
National Colored Convention at Washington.
—The Sons of Temperance, at Indianapo
lis, have decided to admit negroes to mem
bership—either to organize separate Divis
ions, or join the white Divisions, as they
may choose.
Kentucky.—The rebels of Trimble county
continue their outrages against Miss Delia
Webster. A week or two ago they destroyed
a, large amount of her property and house
hold goods. On Thursday night their malice
culminated in setting fire to her barn and
other outbuildings, as well as several piles of
seasoned lumber, which she had got readyfor
some school buildings. Her loss amounted
to $BOOO, only $3OO of which is covered by
insurance. The Madison (Ind.) Uourier says
that Miss Webster has had seventeen dwell
ing houses and fbur barns destroyed from
time to time by her secession neighbors, her
.only offence being her determination to teach
.colored children to read and write.—Near
Franklin, Novbmber Bth, a railroad train
was thrown from the track by a gang of ten
or twelve rgbbers, who then plundered the
passengers of $2500 in money and valuables.
The ruffians escaped.
District of Cohimbia.—Nothwithstand
lag the fact that the property of all colored
people in Washington is taxed tor school
funds, and that Congress has passed strict
laws
,reqiring the city to pay to the trustees
of colored schools their share of the funds
provided for education, not a cent has been
11s C • : 4 • ; HURSDA.Y, NOVEMBER 15 1866.
paid over for thirteen months. The trustees
of these schools have therefore made a formal
demand on the Mayor of Washington for the
money.
Georgia.—The Georgia Legislature, Nov.
9th, refused to ratify the Constitutional
Amendment. In the Senate, the vote for its
rejection was unanimous; in the House,
only two members voted against the rejec
tion.—The State of Georgia lost over
$700,000,000 in real and personal estate by
the war, besides over $300,000,000 swallowed
up in tie various repudiated rebel loans.
Utah.—The authorities at Salt Lake City
have offered $2OOO for the apprehension' of
the person who murdered Dr. Robinson in
that city recently. The citizens have sub
scribed an additional reward of $6BOO, of
which Brigham Young gives $5OO.
The Cherokee Legislature has elected
William P. Ross Chief of the Cherokee
Nation, to succeed the late John Ross. The
new Chief, in his inaugural, congratulates
the nation on the return of peace ; and,
among other things,
recommends the grant
ing of the right of way to the Pacific Rail
road, and discusses the condition of the pub
lic schools.
THE NOVEMBER ELECTIONS.
The contest for the control of the Fortieth
Congress substantially closed with the elec
tions of Tuesday, Nov. 6th. We, give the
result.
New York.—City.—The Democrats gave
the enormous majority of 46,425 in a poll but
littlegreater than that of our city (112,893
votes.) Hence there is, as was expected, a
Democratic gain of two Congressmen in that
city, but the immense majorities rolled up
by the inland counties on the Republican
side, saved the State ; secured its Executive
and Legislative control to the Republicans,
and almost balanced the losses in Congress.
Renssalaer county, which gave a small Demo
cratic majority in 1864, gave Fenton this
year 2060 majority. Gov. Fenton is re
elected by 15,500 majority, the State Legis
lature is Radical, and 20 Radicals to 11 De
mocratic Congressmen are elected. In the
last Congress they stood 21 to 10.
A Convention has been elected to amend
the State Constitution. This was a Repub
lican measure, and has been carried by a
large majority.
Massachusetts elected Bullock Governor
by majority and sends ten Radicals to
Congress as before.. Gen. Butler is among
them. Two colored men are elected to her
State Legislature.
New Jersey sends three Radicals and two
Democrats to Congress, a gain of one for the
Republicans. One of the most violent De
mocrats in:the present Congress,A. J. Rogers
stays at home. Both Houses of the Legis
lature being Republican, a United States
Senator is secured, in place of Wright, de
ceased, Democrat.
Maryland was carried by the Democrats
under the guise of Johnson Conservatives,
one Radical and four Democratsg_o to Con
gress ; a Republican loss 'of two. The State
Legislature is Democratic, and so a Senator
is to be elected of that party in place of Cres
well—a loss.
Delaware elected a Deniocratic Governor,
Congressman and Legislature. The status is
unchanged.
Michigan.—Republican .majority 28,000.
Only one county gave a Democratic ma
jority, Sends six. Radicals to Congress as
before.
Illinois. —Republican majority 60,000.
Delegation to Congress, 12 Radicals to two
Democrats ; gain for the former of one.
lowa.—Republican majority 40,000. Con
gressional Delegation all Radical, as before.
Wiseonsin.—Republican majority 25,000.
Five Radicals and one Democrat sent to Con
gress, same as last Congress.
Minnesota.—Two Radicals sent to Con
gress. No change. Majority 10,000.
Missouri.--Republican majority 20,000.
Delegation to Congress, six Radicals, three
Democrats—loss of two.
Kansas and Nebraska send a Radi
cal representative as before. Majority in
Kansas 20,000; in Nebraska, about 1000.
POLITICAL.
Gov. Brownlow, of Tennessee, in his late
message to the Legislature, speaks candidly
of his prejudices on the subject of negro
suffrage, but commends the subject to the
legislature, and quotes the opinion of Andrew
Johnson, since he became President, in favor
of granting the franchise to negro soldiers,
to such as can read and write, and to such as
have $2OO of property. Re also says it'is
desirable for the union party in Tennessee,
to act with the rest of the party all over the
country on this subject.
Progress Among the Democrats.—The
New York World, and Times, all urge
the President to support the constitutional
amendment. It is said, Fernando Wood is
personally giving him the same advice. It
is simply a personal question with Mr. John
son—the amendment or something far more
stringent will be enacted,. whether Mr. John
son oppose or approve.
The Chicago Times, the leading Demo
cratic organ in the Northwest, urges the De
mocracy to go in for negro suffrage, which,
it says, is inevitable. This, with thorough
paced politicians, is the only, conclusive rea
son for adopting a new opinion. It is in
timated that the President is preparing to
desert his Democratic allies.
FINANCIAL.
The Public Debt of the United States
on the Ist instant, after deducting cash in
treasury, amounted to $2,551,310,005.72.
Cash in the Treasury, $130,326,960.62, of
which $99,413,018.55 was in coin. The nett
decrease during the month, counting cash in
the treasury, is $22,026,935.96. Decrease
since May Ist, $138,378,000. The temporary
loan has finally disappeared from the state
ment, the account having been paid off and
closed. The compound interest notes have
been brought down $7,000,000. Steady pro
gress has been made in the conversion of
7.30's into 5-20's, to the extent of $19,981,-
730. On this, the Press says :—" The finan
cial measures devised by Congress, sustained,
as they are, by the wonderful energies and
patriotic self-denial of the American people,
have been remarkably successful, and are pour
ing into the national treasury larger revenues
than are received by any European govern
ment. They far exceed the current expendi
tures. Nearly $200,000,000 of the public
debt have been paid off during the last year,
and $100,000,000 during the four months
ending on the 31st of October. There was
besides in the treasury at that date, more
than $130,000,000, of which $94,413,018 was
in coin. The interest-bearing debt now
amounts to less than $2,000,000,000."
MISCELLANEOUS.
Business for Congress.—The United-
States Gazette of this city lays out the fol
lowing plan of work for Congress in the
coming sesssion
1. A revision of the internal taxation,
with a view to granting a further relief to
the suffering industry of the country, and to
lightening generally the heavy burden of
taxation borne by the.people.
2. A revision of the tariff on imports, so
as to obtain additional • revenue from this
source.
3. A general scheme of retrenchment of
the public expenditures, with a view to re
ducing the necessities of the Government,
economizing the public moneys and abolish
ing useless offices.
4. dmission of Colorado and Nebraska
1,
as Stao over the President's vetoes.
5. assage of Mr. Trumbull's bill to pre
vent Presidential appointees to office from
taking possession thereof until after the rati
fication of their nominations by the Senate.
As the President will veto this measure, it
will be necessary to pass it over his veto.
6. Establishment of an efficient system of
competitive examinations for appointments
in the revenue, postal, patent, land, survey
and other departments of the public service
where education, knowledge of business,
scientific attainments or practical skill are
demanded. The objects of this change will
be to secure better officers, to curtail the
enormous patronage of the President, and to
remove a vast multitude of places from the
domain of politics.
7. Passage of organic laws for the unor
ganized territories of Neosho and Wyoming.
S. An enabling act for New Mexico.
9. Establishment of some definite condi
tions either for the restoration of the con
quered States, or their reorganization under
the authority of Congress.
10. Provision fbr the consolidation of the
national debt at a lower rate of interest than
that now paid—say five per cent.
11. Some definite action in reference to the
affairs of the unhappy neighboring republic
of Mexico, which shall secure American
interests without any large addition, to our
debt.
12. A thorough investigation of the New
Orleans massacre, with some legislation to
secure protection to the oppressed. Union men
of the South, both white and. black.
13. An inquiry as to whether the President
has enforced the Civil Rights law, or ignored
its existence. Such an inquiry is demanded
by the extraordinary developmests made in
the message of the Governor of q:
and if it shall be found that the Taident has
neglected or refused to enforce thie l kiw, then
Congress may transfer to Chief Justice Chase
the appointment of district attorneys and
United States' marshals, in order to make
sure of its enforcement in future.
14. The District of Columbia Suffrage bill
remains for action in the Senate, and will
probably be passed by that body, either in its
present shape or but little modified.
15. Should this measure be perfected and
passed, the same provisions will doubtless be
extended by another bill to all the organized
territories.
' A Large Sunday-school .— lt is announced
in a foreign journal that the largest Sunday
school in the world is at Stockport, near
Manchester, England. It was first formed in
1784, and now consists of 500 G scholars and
over 300 teachers. Beside instruction in the
Holy Scriptures, writing and other elemen
tary studies are taught.
FOREIGN.
The vote in the province of Venetia upon
the question of transfer from Austrian to
Italian rule showed but four dissentient votes
out of a population of 2,500,000. Not very
complimentary this to the Austrian rule of
fifty-one years past.
Denmark—The London Globe says that
Denmark is threated . with extinction. Unless
Wiser counsels and a juster spirit, su ported,
we doubt`not, by the influence of nd
and France, prevails at the Court of erlin,
Denmark will soon undergo further dismem
berment, and finally disappear as' an inde
pendent State from the maps of Europe.
Great Battle in Paraguay. —Rio JA
NEIRO, Wednesday, October 10, via London,
Monday, November s.—There was a great
battle at Curupaity, Paraguay, on the 22d
of October. The gunboats engaged the
fort there. The allied stern:di:lg column,
against showers of musketry and grape, nobly
took the first line, but failed at the second,
and retired with a loss of nearly 5000 men.
Several gunboats were disabled in the fight.
Flores had gone back to Montevideo with the
rest of the army. There was great excite
ment. Operations are suspended for the
present.
The Mexican ex-Empress. —A letter,
professing to be authentic, details the malady
under which the Empress of Mexico was
suffering. She labored under a fixed idea
that her attendants were in a conspiracy. She
was allowed to see no one but her doctor and
former confessor. Physicians are said to
have given up almost all hope of her recovery,
and-greatly apprehend the effect of a nervous
fever.
Flogging in the British. Array.—The
number of men flogged in. the British army
and militia, in 1865, was 441, that of lashes
inflicted 21,501 ; about 49 a piece on an ave
rage. In addition to these, 1502 were brand
ed with the letter D., and 90 with the letters
B. C. It is gratifying to knowohat no such
record can be made for an American army.
The. Mexican. General, Ortega, and suite
have been arrested at - Brazos, Texas, by
order of Gen. Sheridan.
Er THE ATLANTIC CABLE
Nov. 10, ST. PETERSBURG. —The Czaro
witch and the Princess Dagmar, of Denmark,
were married yesterday, with great festivity
and rejoicing throughout the city. The Czar
commuted the sentences of a large number
of prisoners and remitted arrears of taxes.
—PARts.—Forty-two arrests have been
made of members of a secret political society
in this city.
A PRINCELY GIFT.—An unnamed
lady has given Rev Mr. Spurgeon, of
London, $lOO,OOO, for the purpose of
founding an orphanage in connection
with his chapel. Rumor made the
Duchess of Sunderland the donor, but
Mr. S. pronounces this incorrect.
WEBER PIANO-FORTES.--TO speak of the
instruments themselves would seem superflu
ous. Almost everybody has seen and ad
mires them—musicians, conservatories of
music, amateurs—for their great depth of
tone, richness, mellowness, pathetic tender
ness combined, with great power, brilliancy
and sustaining quality; with a touch which,
as one of our first pianists expressed it, leaves
nothing to wish for l Add to this the great
durability and standing in tune, and a more
perfect piano than the Webber Piano-forte
it would be difficult to conceive. Mr. Getze
will keep an assortment of them at his ware
rooms, 1102 Chestnut street.
Thu MASON & HAMLIN CABINET ORGANS.
—Within these few years such material pro
gress has been made by the well-known manu
facturers, Messrs. Mason & Hamlin, at Bos
ton, as to place the instruments made by them
on a higher level, and to decide the question
that the piano-forte. is no longer to hold the
only prominent place as a household instru
ment. These manufacturers have - worked out
the secret of producing tones of the best quali
ty—tones of surpassing purity and richness--
from reeds, and have otherwise brought the in
struments, for which they have adopted the
appropriate name, "Cabinet Organs," to such
a degree of excellence, that they are exciting
much interest in musical circles, and are
already Incoming the fashion with those who
are on the alert for musical novelties of real
merit. Without doubt, in these Cabinet Or
gans, we have the long-sought instrument of
sustained tones, which is hereafter to divide
with the piano -forte the musical honors of the
drawing-room—N. Y. Home Journal.
