Congress assembled on Monday. It is too early to make any predic tions as to the issues that will engross the attentiou of our legislators during the coming session. It may bo safely assumed, Question ground. however, that the Southern will not be in the backSenator Gordon, of Georgia, recommends the 'possum game to tho brigadiers during the present session of congress. It won't work, Mistah Gawdon. When Jim Blaine and Koscoo Conkling commence to apply tho ash' "them animals" can't keep from squealing. A Kentucky Democrat attempted to havo a rebel claim allowed in the House on the very second day of the . . ... . session. A proposition 10 assume tho Confederate debt is' next in order. Do your worst, boys; for the solid North has made up its mind that "the brigadiers must go;" and don't you forget it. Springfield, Ohio, furnishes several colored candidates in the gift of the lecislaturc. Other parts of the State a will doubtless present candidates, and it is to be hoped that the Hon. Geo. AV.

Another attempt on the life oT tho Czar of Russia was made the other day by placing explosive materials on the railroad over which he was to nasa on his visit to Moscow." Fortu nately for the Czar, hojrevcr, his train passed over the rathe in eafoty half an hour caslier than was antici pated. The mine was exploded un der the Imperial baggage train, pro ducing a total wreck, but no lives were lost. The despotic government of Russia is bearing legitimate fruit. The Message. We present to our readers, to-day, in full, the president's annual raesiage. It is a very valuable state paper, abounding in wise suggestions. On the subject of suffrage the president speaks with a boldness that is commendable in the highest degree. He says, "I earnestly appeal to the intelligence and patriotism of all good citizens of every part of tho country, however much they may be divided iu opinions on other political sub jects, to unite in compelling obedience to existing laws aimed at the

THEO tJSJ

protection of tho right of suffrage." It should be noted that tho presidont uses the words "compelling obedience." This is good stalwart doctrine. Southern rebels know no law but force, and the Northern people havo made up their minds to use this argument with a lavish hand. The president makes some wise suggestions on civil service reform, and recommend tho revival of tho civil service commissiou.' Of the questions that puzzle and "worry the brain of our1 office holder, nono is more voxat'unis than that of civil service. Anything that can be done for the elevation of this branch of the machinery of our government wilj be a groat blessing to tho country. For a fuller consideration of the president's suggestions wo refer our readers , to the messago itself, which is replete with good things. Disbarred. Arc not the Democrats disbarred from opposing tho immigration to this State of colored people from the South? The brutal policy of the Democratic party in tho South toward colored people has made the exodus not only possible but a nocessity. The liberty-loving voters of Indiana should not allowthemsolves to bo deceived by the huo-and-cry of Democratic papers and politicians about colonization. The Democratic party of this country, headed by tho old pro-slavery rebel clement of tho South, is making a desperate effort to get control of the government to retrieve br stratagem, fraud and violence what they lost in opon conflict. They have virtually annulled the constitutional amendments in the South by practically disfranchising the colored people, and at the same time retaining the increased representation in congress, which their enumeration gives. With a free, fair election, the Republicans could carry at least eight Southern states; but these eight states, a majority ot whose voters are today Republicans, are made solidly Democratic by methods and instru mentalities that would bring their perpetrators to the gallows in any land but ours. Having obtained control of tho South bv these infamous persecutions and outrages, the Demo crats now seek to make political capi tal out of the fact that the victims of their brutality are seoking liberty and homes in the free North. No intelligent voter can for one moment be deceived by their absurd whinings about Republican colonization, and tho poor- eolored people being enticed from their homes by Northern emmisaries This movement is the spontaneous protest of tho colored people of tho South against tho devil ish brutality to which they are subjected, and it would be necessary to picket the Southern frontier with an army with loaded muskets and fixed bayonets, to prevent these people from leaving the cursed laud of their A at . birth, trom which thev havo never received anything but stripes and ecars and brutality. The Democrats arc disbarred from complaining about the exodus. It never would have been thought of but for their stupid and fiendish per sistence in inaugurating and keeping up a reign of terror throughout the South. They .seek to divert attention from the real question at issue by attempting to prejudice tho white voters of the North against tho people they have forced to abandon their homos. Tho real questions at issue arc whether tho voto of one Rebeldemocrat of South Carolina or .MisMississippi shall counterbalance tho votes of five loyal men whether the results of the war shall be made null and void in short, whether the ivage Southern brutes I who starved oar noble soldier boys at

Andorsonvillc, and havo sinco carried

elections by fraud, violence and as sassinatlon, shall be allowed to as sume control :of the National Govcrnnient or m&do the guardians of National honor; Addross of the Immigrant Belief Board to the Public. ' At a mass meeting of the colored citisons of Indianapolis, held in Bethel A. M.E. church on Monday evoning, the 24th of Novombor, tho under signed woro appointod a committee to devise ways and means of caring for any destituto immigrants who may come to our State from tho South. Wo do not stop, now, to dis ens tho causes that havo led to this exodus of our poonle from tho South. Wo simply say tnat no reasonable man who mingles and converses with these people (an doubt that iu tho South thov aro defraudod, persecuted, proscribed, denied thoir political rights and treated in general with tho most inhuman barbarity. They leave their homes to cscapo outrages to which no freeman should submit, and to which no freoman should be suhjectod in a froe country. They come to Indiana bocauso they expect to find a noblor civilization, human treatment, and protection in their right to lifo, liberty and tho pursuit of happiness. In this expectation they will not be disappointed. These peoplo aro our kindred bound to us by the strongest ties that bind men together; hence we feel it an imperative duty to mako provision 'for the temporary relief of any who may be in need. We accordingly appeal to tho generous peoplo of Indiana to aid us in this benevolent work, by contributions of money, clothing and ether necessaries. Contributions may bo given to any of tho committeemen, or left with Rev. W. C.Trovan, 214 W. Vermont st., or at the office of Tho Indianapolis Leader. Rev. Jehu Holliday, E. Outland, Rev. R.

Chandler has written a strong and meaty letter to the Now York Tribuuc, on the duty of Republicans in tho coming contest, from which wo make the following interesting extract: "Prudent and cautious politicians can not fail to admit that Republican victory in 1S80 is probable only; not mi . . sure l no recent glorious inumpns, under radical principles, demanding the . absolute protection of human rights every where under tho flag, the abandonment of which for two 1.

Matrimonial matters must not be for gotten. There is certainly gre.it activity in this market, The influence may lie in the "boom; it may be caused by the moon, or it may be the offspring ot the anticipated cold winter. I don't pretend to account for it, but the "market is active, demand fair, and supply steady." For the beneht of your readers Jet me refer to some of the happy events. The season was opened by the marriage of the very jopu lar lady, Mi came U. lindgewater, to J. Howard McGuire, a gentleman well known here in leading circles. The happy little lady is o well known that further notice is unnecessary. Ihe weuding was a quiet one, but the presents fully attested the high regard in which the couple is held. They received a list of the most costly presents yet made in this citv. After a short residence in this citv Mr. M. was called away, and now they are soon to take up permanent residence iu Toledo, Ohio. The next day after the union above named, Mr. James Harris claimed for bis own Mis Eliza J. Cownn, our famed colored cantat rice. The happy couple spent the honeymoon in this city, after which Mr. Harris left for the far west, where he hopes to prepare a home. The next prominent afiair was that of Mips Ida May Mcintosh, and Dillard SI. Dempney. Miss Ida graduated from our high-school, taught in Kansas City with flattering success aud enjoys at home and abroad an enviable popularity. Mr. Deinsey is a young man of more than ordinary worth quiet, unobtrusive and a perfect gentleman. Their marriage occurred in September, and was a highly enjoyable so cial event, mere were numerous elegant presents, but the best of all is the product of the groom's own industry, a handsome new brick residence on Dearborn street. Mr. Ferdinand Hogeland went out in Iowa and plucked the rose of Fairfield, Miss Anna Yancy. An elegant reception was tendered the bride and groom at the residence of William 8. Johnson, Esq. Mrs. Hogeland has succeeded in making a host of friends in this city. Miss Carrie Jenkins, a very winsome and popular lady, was next led to the altar by Mr. John Skinner, after a "long courtship." Both parties are well known and highly esteemed, Miss Carrie enjoying the distinction of being the "Derbybelle," The wedding occurred in October, and was a remarkably pleasant social tffair. The presents upon the occasion were numerous and cosily; that from the Derby club one of great beauty and worth. The latest wedding occurred Thursday night. Marie Brown, a highly esteemed society lady, adopted daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Parish of this city, was married to Mr. Andrew Anderson. The fortunate groom enjoys a splendid reputation for industry and integrity. The wedding occurred at the residence of the bride's parents. The reception occurred during the evening at the elegantly furnished residence of the happv pair. Before leaving the marriage question, I must mention the enjoyable tin wedding reception tendered by the Home Circle to Mr. and Mrs. T. C- Gray on the 2oth uit. The recipients were surprised and receivedjtin enough, and to spare. Fine music and a well served supper added materially to the evenings pleasure. F. L. Barxett. Evansville News.
