Colored Men In Congress

The day of colored representativos in Congress is numbered. It has been a matter of very general remark that there are but three colored members in the present House - Cain, Rainey and Smalls, of South Carolina, all of whoae seats are contested by white men. In the last House there were seven colored members, and in the Congress before that more. It is the general impression that hereafter, unless colored members are elected in the Northern States, none will ever again be seen in Congress. As the three in the present Congress have only been admitted on prima facie cases, on certifleates nianipulnted by the notorious Chainberlain and Cardoza, cooked up by the fraudnlènt Beturning Board of South Carolina, it would not be at all strange that the House ElectionsCominittjo, af ter a consideration of their cases, should give their seats to the coutestants in each instance. The colored Congressmnn has been a very decided failure. Elliott, of South Carolina, was the most prominent one that ever held a seat. His speeches were remarkably good, and it was generally believed that they vero prepare d for him by Ben Butler. Simule, who now represente a South Carolina constituency, has just emerged f rom jail, where he was confined íor frauda iu that State. If the juries of that Stato do their duty they will have him in the penitentiary Hefore loug. Southern States will not eleet any more colored Congressmen, as even the negroe3 are opposed to them. - Hartford Timen.
