Seibert, Hugh Goudy, Hiram Plummer, Geo. E. Lowry. Colonel R. G. Ingersoll denies the published state nent that he has abandoned Blaine for Grant. He says his preferences are for the former. We received this week "Our Weekly Age," E. F. Horn's paper, formerly "Our Age," of Evansville. It is a neat, spicy little folio, and wc hope I its shadow may never grow less. General John Coburn's friends are quite active in different parte of the State, and will make a good showing for him in the convention. The General is an able, tried and true Republican. A strange anomaly has occurred in South Carolina. A white man has been sentenced to hang for the murder of a colored man. Wc will bet our heads he never goes on the scaffold. Colonel Thomas. II. Nelson, the silver-tongued orator of Terre Haute, is doing good, permanent work for the Republican cause in this State. He addressed the Young Men's Kepublican club last Monday nighf, and made some tolling hits on the policy of the Exodus Democracy, in his own peculiarly happy and entertaining style. The Colonel knows how to dish up the true inwardness of the treasonable Democracy. BEN HILL. Senator Beniamin Hill, of the EmDiro State of the South. Gconzia. is undeniably in a box, and a bad box, 4-rr n thnf Ho ia nnro 1 at art I r o r H I doggedlj1, followed up by a Georgia "tigress," known as Miss Jessie Uayi i j i i mono, always accompanieu uy ner infant son whom she calls Tommy Hmi ,i 0i 11 :a ill, and whom she alleges is the nam I tural son oi öenator inn, Dy ner. n r a i a I She declares she been "wronged, ruined and deserted" by this gay senatorial deceiver, over whoso youthful head only about G5 summers and' winters have shed their varying harvests of vapory dews, hoary frosts and wintry winds. His extreme youth and inexperience, she claims, is no extenuation for tho magnitude of his crimo, in which she, of course, had no part and parcel. Sho is mad, mad as a March hare, and doclarcs that she will havo blood, money, or Hill. We presume tho second articlo in her cartel of demand would be moro gladly received by her than cither of the other two. To take the first would subject her to trouble, trial and punishment; and there is an insuperablo obstacle in the way of her hecoming possessed of the amorous, seductive and youthful Hill himself, in tho fact that he at present is married to a trusting and confiding wife, who has already spent some 35 or 40 years of her life in married felicity, enjoying his bod and board, and confiding in bis indis putablo truthfulness and fidelity. Duly considering the importance and bearing of all the facts connect ed with the case, we arc irrcsistably led to tho conclusion that money, hard or soft, gold or silver, greenbacks or blackbacks, is the magic panacea that would heal her torn and lacerated heart the most quickly, beautifully and efftctualiy. We would advise Hill to apply it at onco in heroic doses, and save trouble, expense and a 6mall modicum of public esteem. rrur.a ;D ktoow j this discussion upon which we may mate some remarks in the future. öumco it to say tnat good people ought not to be in too great a hurry to neap tneir conaemnation ana oprobriura upon Hill, and at the same time give tneir unmviueu sympatny to 31iss Raymond. In all likelihood she is as much and even more to Diame man uw. in snort, it is not altogetherimprobablo that, while she 1 TT II Sill' I'.J-'f"! ana mil aouotioss sustainea criminal

relations with each other, her case against him is nothing more nor less than a well developed case of blackmail. It is very probable that if her life depended upon it she could not

truthfullv say who is the father of her interesting little lTommy." MORE ilBANVILLIANY. One hundred and fifly colored people from the soiitli. 'passed through Louisville last week, cn their way to New York, whence Ihey will sail shortly to Monrovia, j Liberia. It is strange that this foolish and fatal de lusion about emigration to Liberia cannot be thoroughly stamped out among our people in the south. Of course the fact " that 4hey do not see their almost certain doom to an early and premature grave, is owing, largely, to their ignorance, and credulity, fanned, as it has been, into a fatal flame of enthusiasm .bv the false promises and false teaching of an ignorant, hypocritical set of mounte banks, who frequently profess to be preachers and leaders of the raoe, but who, in reality, are too ofteu designing scoundrels, bent on advancing their own fortunes at the expense of these unfortunately ignorant people. Instead of listoning to the misrepresen tations and direct falsehoods of these rascals, our people of the south ought to lash them from town to town with the cat o' nine tail, and thus teach them that the crime of falsehood and decep tion shallnot go unpunished. Such men are wilful, deliberate murderers. If they know anything, they know that three-fourths and more of the Amerif.an Negces who go to Liberia, perish whi!e " undergoing acclimation, and that those who survived are mere wrecks of what they once were. Those who follow the occupation; do 80 from a desire to make money, and gajn cheap notoriety among an ignorant and unsuspecting class of people, They are liars, thieve's and murderers, and ought to be s6 denounced bv every colored newspaper, and every colored man in the south, be he preach or or wacner, lawyer or aoctor, lann- . i i" - t -i- r er or mechanic, laborer or merchant, who ha8 the wellbeing of his race at UC41 V. NO IT ISN'T. "It is very difficult to Fnow what to say concerning Mr. Seymour as the the possia a f ! w-v . m . Die nominee oi me uemocrauc party lor A reRidencv-Richmond rWnispatch. Oh, no it isn't. He was a truckling pro-slavery sycophant before tho war He was a violent copperhead dur ing the war. He dallied and coquet ted with the mob of Five-point vil lians who wero resisting tho draft, burning orphan asylums, hanging innocent and defenceless people to lamp-posts; and murdering Union soldiers. Ho opposed the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments to tho consti tution. Ho opposed the equitable policy of reconstruction. Ho has de - a A V fended the brutal course by which Southern Democrats cany elections. Ho has supported without reserve the revolutionary schemes of tho Southern brigadiers in Congress. His nomination would bo a menaco to our free institutions, an outrage upon tho sontimont of liberty and equality by which a majority of American people are actuated, and an insult to every loyal heart in the land. ERRATA. Through an inadvertency in cor recting the proof of our last week's issue, several very annoying typo graphical errors appeared in the arti cles headed "What we Need," and under "Editorial Chaff." Our readers, however, by tho exercise of a little mental ingenuity, will be able to supply the right word whore the errors occur. We shall be more careful in the future W o shall also teach our printers, by ai d by, how to spell the word "Negro." GENERAL STREIGHT STILL General Streight visited Shelby vni0 on the 19th inst. and roceived a porfcct ovation at the hands of the enthusiastic Republicans of old Shelby, He addressed a large meeting in the evening at Fearnin's Hall, and made a good Impression on the minds nf-rh nf ,. nUvr anr viVinittr.

They were accorded a reception and banquet by the people of Galveston, white and colored, which, for hearty and unfeigned enthusiasm, compared well with the reception which the general received in tho North. GENERAL HUNTER. General M. C. Hunter, of Blooinington, one of the leading Kepublican ;oi O I i nation, has gone to N ew York to consuit Dr. Hammond, an eminent physician of that city, as to whether his physical condition is such as to permit 1. x . 1 a 1 f a a I mm to maso tne canvass ior tne nomination and election.

Secretary John Sherman, Who of votes owns the German, Desires by general consent To be the next president. He buys up Carl Schurz, And his friend, George William Curz, And thinks he's made a mighty good guess, But at Chicago it'll prove a very bad mess. The March winds doth blow, and we shall have more dust in our eyes. The early bird catches the worm, but the last candidate catcnes the delegate. Abel is having a Streight walk-awav for the Republican gubernatorial nomination. Why is this month appropriately named? Because the winds March around and raise the dust. Strong efforts are being made in the pcäettVs with a cold water candidate. puuucan8 The Kellog rolled up and down and and all over the Hill with inmunitv. un restrained and apparently unrestrainable.

Pedro. Cleveland (O.) News. Everybody reads The Leader. The proceeds of the two concerts held by Central High School amounted to S3 10. Monday evening the banquet of the Red Cross Commandery No. 7 K. T. takes place at Weisgerber'shall. On last Thursday, the 13th. Miss Jessie Roberts and Mr. Chas. Gordon were married at tbe residence of the bride's parents. Mr. Chas. McAfee is second leader and Mr. Frank Milton corresponding eeeretarv for the coming year. These were omitted in the naming of officers of the Excelsior Band last week. Mr James Snyder has concluded to send in his resignation to the A. M. E. Literarv Society, as he does not wish to be a mem ber longer. Mr. fcnyder has been president of this society ever since it was first organized. The exercises of the A. M. E. Liter Society, on the evening of the 17th, consisted of historical reading, by G. P. Appleton; select reading, Miss Anna Patterson; essay, Miss Carrie Jackson; select reading, Mr. William Fowler. On what two days in a lifetime ran n man travel the farthest and where does he travel on tnose two days! The day before his marriage, and the day after it The day before his marriage he is at the Cape of Good Hope the day after it he is in tne united otates. The cantata of Belchazzar, which was given up by the Mozart club, has been taken by another club, and Mr. John Bush, Sr., their teacher, states that it will be hrought before the public in a short time. This club has been organized since the Mozart club. At the last meeting of the Excelsior band, Mr. Henry Kidd (their snare drummer), was expelled. The causes were: First non-payment of dues; second, not attending their meetings. Those members who do not and have not been making their appearance at the meeting of the Band of late, will have cause to regret it. The concert which this organization was to have given on the 16th has been postponed until the second or third week of April. The concert will consist of einging and solos on different instrumenta, together with music by the entire Band. 'os Nolo.
