The Chainbor of deputies has . approved all of the articles of tho bill for abolition. It is said that Voorhoes' inyorttigating committee will remain fn Washington and take its North Carolina testimony by proxy. This is certainly an original Democratic way of doing business, and is probably the best way of rinding out nothing about the matter.- Voorheos understands how not to do it.

ThVTresidency.

In a very complimentary letter to tho Leader published two weeks ago our.good friend, Capt. O. S. IJ. Wall, of Washington, eays: "But whiie I differ with you as to the best man in the Republican rank for the coming presidential nomination, I think every colored man in the country should be proud ofand encourage you in the publication of such a paper." Now wo arc not certain that tho captain ia correct. Vo do not know who Captain Wall' caudidato is, and we aa yet have not declared ourselves. We havo defended General Grant from the attacks of his enemies. We have said that he would makoa goodprcsi dent, and we have scouted the idea that any man could usurp the oxecuti ve office of this Government or that the republic would .be endangered by tho election of a president to a third term. We are not .blind, however, to. tho fact that there are a great many good Republicans who arc conscientiously opposed. to -the election of any man to a ihinl term, -and it is not certain th:it the party can afford to ignore the sentiment of this class. K is useless to say that the persons who constitute this class arc not Ropublicans, or that the feeling agaiusta third teR is not wide-spread and de termined. We are in the presence of a great crisis, and, no step must be taken that will jeopardize the success of the Republican party. Any one of the great leaders, Blaine, Sherman, Conkling or Washburne, can poll the full vote of theparty, and'bo triumphantly elected if nominated at Chicago. Neither would encounter the bitter opposition within m tho party th-jt the tliiid -term agitation would engender in -the -event, of General G rant's noniinatiön. We want to see J a strong, ijoia, stalwart Jtepuolican nominated.''' 'One' who hates Southern brutality and rascality, and who will be bravejeriough to exhaust every prerogative to secure equal rights to 'all 'men throughout the length and breadth of our land. It cannot be doubted that such a man can be found among the distinguished names mentioned above. At T.ftftt Affairs in ' Maine .are moving on smothly. The Republicans have complete control of all departments of the government. The Fusionists. go through the farce of holding sessions of their so-called legislature in a hall, Their meetings, however, are simply a harmless way they havo of letting themselves- down. They say that if they had possession of tho State house thev would not vacate without bloodshel. That terrible "if" relieves them of the necessitr of shedding their worthless blood, and will allow the counted-iu and kicked-out chaps to scoot out to the lumber regions, and make enough raoneyUuring the winter and spring to pay lor their splurge" in search of fame. It is rnnin f nnr rr rt, rnonU n Maine, but for the whole country, that this infamous assault upon Republican government and institutions has been met and crushed. Tho leaders ought to be sent to tho penitehti, rfti. i;ia Tri, l.avA been only the dupes of designing politicians will be sufficiently punished by tho contempt and ostracism of their neighbors and friends. Thcpeoplo of this country should hold tho Democratic party rosponsiblo.for this outrage. That party is simply attempting to use in the North the tactics employed with such signal success in Mississippi, South'" Carolina and other States, Evcrv patriot should understand that tho success of tho Democratic party . j - ntro-tiivnTv T?nrKiion luVMiio ,i;v.w.wU.w.. 1 institutions and the downfall of a i iiivi ivilii uuvnj. - Do the Colored .People of Indiana Demand the Pardon of William Nelson. Early in the fall we published a pc- . tition to the governor asking tho pa'rdon of Nelson, and requested tho peoplo of tho Stato to sign and forward to us. Tho petition was received every whero with favor, and many letters of commendation and congratulation carao to us from all sections Quito a number of potitions came in at first, but the enthusiasm soon cooled and the petitions stopped coming. It was our purposo to present the petition to tho governor before tho holidays, but after mature consideration wodocided not to do so, for the reason that, in numbors the

petitions can not be: said to represent the colored peopld of tho State. Wo

know that the failure to respond is simply due to the fact that in many communities no one has assumed the responsibility of circulating a petition. Everybody favored the petition and evorybody trusted it to everybody and what is everybody's business is nobody's business. Now will not some person in every town aud community id the State take the trouble to circulate a potitiou for signatures and forward to us at once. There ought to be thousands of names from places that have not sent in 50. Aro tho colored people of Indiana in favor of pardoning William Nelson; if so, let them speak out. ;Mr. Parnell, M. P., tho great Irish agitator, i' receiving splendid ovations wherever ho goes in the United States. Our sympathies are with the. Irish people in this matter. The policy of England finder the present premier is begetting discontent and trouble throughout the dominion. The demand of the Irish for .homerule is reasonable and iust. This , de mand would no doubt be readily ospoubed by the .Liberal party of England were it not for the cominunisticjand theories held by the Home rule party. There is, however, a crying need for some reform ia the land system, and for a' policy that will eventually work the overthrow of the sj-stem of absenteeism. These absentee lords, owners of the soil, hold in their penurious grasp the homes and destinies of three millions of Irish people, and they take out of the country every year thirty millions of dollars, thus sapping the very foundations of industry and prosperity. -it tne nome rule part win Keep aloof from any semblance of commu nism, an alliance can be effected with the English Liberals, which will no .aouoi enect tue reiorm oi many apu ses of which they now justly com plain. It is time the civilized world had entered a protest against the foreign "policy of GreafBrilain under T3eaconsneiu s ouiraceousiv seinsn ruie. 11 seemi that even the poor right of petition is denied the unfortunate people whose governments have been overthrown to gratify the territorial greed of brutal usrupers. A striking illus tration of Beaconsfield justice is seen in the arrest, on the charge of arson, of citizens of the Transvaal Ilcpub lie of South Africa because,after their government was forcibly overthrown, they petitioned the British govern ment to permit ' their legislature to assemble and make laws for them. It is fortunate that the English people will soon have ah opportunity to relieve this man, ot tho power andre iponsibilities that have so turned his head. it now seoras cenain mai me mass ot the democratic party ot tcis öiate I a a a. y . . " . . . will array itselt against the uonstitu1 . sva Ltional amenUments. I ho principal reason assigned is that the Amend ents inure to the benefit of tne liepublican party. The amendment that is of paramount interest to tho col ?d people is the one which strike. es tho word "white" out of the Consti tution. Colored men throughout the State should organize and work unceasingly for the amendment from now till the polls close on the day of tho election.' The amendments arc all important aud should be adopted. We will discus them at length in future issues.

Mr. Bassett was the tli-Kt colored man appointed by . - - IA w the Government of the United States to an important foreign mission. So ably, efficiently and satisfactorily did Mr. Bassett dischargo tho duties of Haytien Ministor of eight years, that it may be truthfully said of him that ho honored his country, his raco and tho position conferred upon him. Much dissatisfaction has been caused by tho nomination of Democrats as superintendeuts of the census. Prcsident Hayes seems disposed to do what is right in tho matter, however, and has withdrawn several objectionab!o names.

Democratic Infamy. . . - - i

The infamous conduct of a , demo The infamous conduct of a demor f tt ' cratic mob at Shelbyville some time t f ... r . j ' stimulated time ago seems to have stimulated similar occurences in other, sections. in the vicinity of Greenfield, Hancock county, the houses and barns of several individuals who have sheltered or employed immigrants have been burned, and other outrages committed. A notice was posted , that this would be done' if any of the immi grants were "harbored or employed" in that vicinity. The villainous threat has been kept and the internal int v ... : stincts of the Democratic party are manifested. We counsel retaliation. Let these brutes be made to feel and know that the vile practices of Southern Democrats can not be introduced into free Indiana. " 1 Professor W. A.

The Mutual Protective association held a large and orderly mass meeting Tuesday night at Quinn Chapel. Address, s were made by the president, J. E.

speakers were frequently and - enthusiastically applauded. Before the exercices closed Rev. J. C.

This was affirmed also by Mr. Beard. Mr. RVM. Hancock then spoke saying that while the citizens should make no special inducements to the Journal if Mr. Beard was located here, siill that paper 'might move here and do well Mr. Beard s.dd also that there!wa8 plenty of room, and all might come who saw fit. So it seems like we are to have a paper of our own at last. Mr. Beard is a gentleman of means andMs'a printer and will doubtless do well. W. H. Stanton of the Jonrnal and his brother are printers of 14 years experience.. They have a first clasa printing office in St. Loaie, and if they move here our citizens will be able to throw all their printing in the hands of colored men.

If they come to a colored church, they can surely afford to sit with colored people.. I would like to call the attention of the A. M. E. church management to a nuisance which they ought to abate. A great many persons go to this church Sunday nights out of mere curios' ty, to see and be seen. A majority of these curiosity seek ers behave themselves, as becomes ladies and gentlemen, but there are a great many who behave themselves much after the fashion of gallerv gods at a minstrel or a variety show. They chew tobacco, spit, talk, run in and out, as though they withdrew to take . drinke between acts. Of course these people don't know how to behave themselves; it therefore becomes the duty of somebody to tech them good behavior. The church, however, in not the place to teach manners. I suggest that the ushers be authorized to deny admittance to all strange boys, epeciallj those who are not accompanied by ladies. Most of those who have female company will behave themselves. I think it is the duty of those in authority to take this matter in hands and put a stop to tlds theatre gallery business. Hindu. Cleveland (O.) Nows.

Intereating Facta and Figure as Given by Elder Treran, a Colored Man and Brother North Carolinian. Correspoadenca Cincinnati Commercial Indianapolis, January 6. 1880. A HEXTIXG IIAXD EXTENDED. As long ago as the 24th" of November the colored cttizens of Indianapolis held a meetiDg in Bethel African Methodist Episcopal church and appointed a committee to devise ways and means of caring for any destitute immigrants who might come to orr State from the South. The committee consisted of the following named gentlemen: Reverends John Holliday, R. Titns, W. C Trevan, S. G. Turner, and Messrs R. W. Wells, Charles Webb, E. Out land j W.U. Woods, J. S. Ilinton, L. E. Christy and Robert B. Bagby, chairman, who prepared an appeal, which was published at the time in The Leader, the colored organ of the citv, and has been kept in print in every edition of the paper since. This to show that the colored citizens were not unprepared for the exodus. In that appeal the canses which led to the exodus were not discussed It was simply held that no reasonable man who conversed with the immigrants con Id doubt that in the South they are degraded, persecuted, proscribed, denied " their political rights, and treated in general with the most inhuman barbarity. They left their homes to escape outrages to which no freeman should be subjected in a free country. They came to Indiana because they expected to find a nobler civilization, humane treatment and protection in their right to life, liberty and Jthe pursuit of happiness. ' These people," to use the language of the appeal, "are our kindredbound to us by the strongest ties that bind men together; hence we feel it an imperative duty to make provisions for the temporary relief of any who may be in need.. We accordingly appeal to the generous people of Indiana to aid us In this benevolent work ot contributions of money, clothing and other necessaries." And nobly has the promise of this undertaking been fulfilled. At this date but three out of . the many families who have come here from the South aro unprovided for. AUTHENTIC INFORMATION. I have my information from an authentic source. Not content with what could be learned outside, I weut among the colored population. I called, upon Rev. W. C. Trevan, pastor of the A. M. E. chnrch, in particular, because he was said to be largely concerned in the relief and assignment of the immigrants. 1 found him at the parsonage, adjoining the church, and was pleased to recognire in him a well known veteran in the cause of the Gospel and humanity. In appearance and manner ho is prepotweKsing, conveying with what he savs an impression of manliness and strength. He is above the medium height, and well proportioned, with a dark complexion, but Caucassian features. He has the sonorous voice of his people, and all their caution and cloe observation of motives and men. When called by his wife from his stud iuuv aoove tne parlor), he with a quick, scrutinizing surveyed xae iooK, inrow.ng the lieht of th lamn wk he held in his hand, well on my face, before he sat it down on the table, . I made known my business, an i asked him the number of immigrants who had arrived. "The number,"-h replied, "haa been greatly exaggerated. I am in a position to know. To the lat arrival I think it was about 438. I did not see the last company." "There were more men in the lat lot than before," I observed. ''Yea. Two-thirds of tho number, which is said to have been 200, were men. And
