SKETCHES FROM TUE SOUTH.

The Impressions of a nckeye Ramhler in jjme. Politics. Politicians. Incidents. Etc No. V. BY W. s. s. To the Editor of The Leader: The following, episodo really took place between the parties mentioned, To avoid being too monotonous I in troduce it here. .It is a common form of salutation in the South not mere ly between persons of Hamitic, but of Shemitic extraction as well. -While passing along, the other day, by the cabin of an old colored man. we iieard t it a i ' I the TAI I rTTT 1 T if fiATITTOW.lTinn i I 1 Villi'' J was chopping wood in the yard; an old colored woman was fiunnintr herself, apparently, in the cabin door; 1 1. t and an old "uncle, JNeU, who was lame in ono foot, came up to the front gate and rested himself on hi9 sound est leg. After a very few moments, ho shouted: "How you do, Aun' Dinah?"' "I'm toler'ble. JIow you do?" "I'm toler'ble How's Ann' Mary?" "She's toler'ble. How's Aun' Phyllis?" "She's toler'ble. How's Aun' Phcbe?" "She's toler'ble. How's Gus an' do chilluns?" Dey's toler'ble." "Lord! Lord!" said the boy, wiping tho sweat off his brow with one finger, and kicking a piece of stovewood aside, "Eberybody toler'blo." It is interesting to observe how shrewd and cautious the Southern rebels are. They have been out of power so long that they are willing 7 i . 1 l r to raaKe almost any Kina oi coneeysion to get tho machinery of the Government into their hands. They tell tho Neirroes that if thev will irive them their support, thev will pay w . l every cent lost bythem in the Freedmen's Savings ßank they will increase their privileges, and will in tho end do better by them than tho Republicans are able to do. Wonderful! wonderful!! wonderful!!! "Ubinam gentium sumus," (where in tho world are we!) Every intelligent colored man knows that this is false; not a shadow of truth in it. Why don't they begin now? Why delay? In Atlanta, at tho depot, aro threo sitting rooms one for white ladies, one for white gentlemen, and ono for uo1' 4 au,w mm Here is another. I ho trains on the 3laCOn and Western ltailrosd have three distinct coaches for passengers rmr for tho Caucasian, one lor the AfrW.nn nnd nno for tho fWnsinn smokers. In the Negro coach it IS placarded, "This car is for colored people only." J3ut I noticed as I pnmn im flint, miltn o Inrrrft niimVnr of white persons took refuge in .. p. . , there, Often in ClOSO proximity wTith their colored brother. At times they began to smoke, hut the conductor asked them to go into tho next car, tho smoker. Now notice the difference. A white man may go into a car that they call exclusively a negro car, and sit down while there: it a negro attempts to return the compliment his head or back pays the penalty. Observe again a feature of Southern justice. Throughout tho North there aro two grades of tickets, first and second; in t;rti.ot . 11 11 11 11 . 1 . A wiiiie man ana jus üiuck urotner win uuy i iiu Piimu iicKci, lux inu &uiuu point on tho same train. His "exccllency goes into the car no pays for. His "nigger" takes his valise into ono ho did not pay for. You roit . XT i-.l member mat l said in no. i mat it was rumored that Joe Brown and others of the same temperament said that they, though not. Republicans, affiliated with that party in the early daj'S of reconstruction to kccpJN egroes . - out of onico as much as possible, and so save the State from Negroes and carpet rag supremacy. I concludo that article by saying: "Whether true or not, an article on the condi tion of tho black man would show that it bears a semblance of truth." I ask tho Indiana Democrat, tho Ohio Democrat, tho New York Democrat all tho Democrats, if there aro any conscientious ones among them for an impartial decision on this point. ell, I am wandering and seeking that I won't get. Tho social and politieal condition of tho -Southern Nejrro is somewhat mysterious. Your correspondent has tried analy tically and symcthctically to solve the problem, but he, like others, finds no satisiactory solution, unless in a raaicai cnango or tue JNegroo s present status, as effected by him and through himself.

Prlttle, Prtttle, Politics Conference Notes Tue Ton r Mm ami tbeSqnlre A i 7 And Everything:. It was said last week in this column that the party traces were not holding the colored man as securely as "it used to was." There is blood on the moon. And the Republicans who vainly imagine that the "nigger,' or as a leading Republican calls the colored man, the "darkey" will vote the ticket anyway so no effect should bo made to keep nis voie iniaci. ju.cn are in a great measure like sheep; as the bellwether jumps so does the drove. The leading colored men have declared among themselves that they intend to vote against jne or two men on the county ticket. One of the panics is the nominee for Loroner, Hermeling. i ot uecause mis man nas done anything wrong, bat because the party lcrnorea tiieir rigutto representation on me i 1 1. A.

Tho colored man is imitative. He now intends, from the lesson received, to practice the device of "scratching." Four years ago tho Young Men's Republican Club had a Hebrew for President and an Anglo-African for Secretary, but tho pimpled aristocrat couldn't stand that combination. This year the Y. M. R. C. has no negro officers and will not have. The different ward clubs used to have col ored Vice-Presidents and Secretaries; but now no more alas are negro faces seen in high positions. In the County Central Committee the negro is merely a figurehead. He is not admitted into their secret "conflabs." It is too true. The Republican party ha? drawn the color line I For the first time in this' county the Republicans are placed on the defensive. Ihe Democrats are making an offensive (in more ways than one) campaign. Ihey have a lair chance oi winning if they do it will purge the party I of a lot of political lepers, chlorotic lnbociles I who are of the party for what it does for them. It is thev who growl about the colored man. It isthev who said at the salt well "we like a darkey to stay in his place.' and that place is in the rear The Republican party, North generally mii 1ik ...IN - - In fin T r 9 n A I ilOil i ti makes fair L71U1J1I01S ItrV WllIGU UlOil only to break them after the election. It reminds me ot a story I've read somewhere. In a certain canal town was a bad man who was captain of a canal boat; his name was Bill. Bill would he, steal, get drunk, play five up," "shoot craps" and do every thing else bad. His boat trot aground; her low was stuck high and dry but the stern was floatine: in de;n water. Bill cursed, but the boat didn't move. So he reformed and told all the good people of the town that he had "got religion," and to ceiebr Ue the event proposed to have a prayer Meeting on his boat. All tho good people .came. The Baptists, the Methodist and lVesbyterians J ' J 1 all came. Bill stood on the bow and invited fhom 9 thev came to "go aft" as the meet"righteous" there sunk the stern of tho boat and ra53ed the bow clear of the mud and the 1 1 1 TT VUIV lV "Viu v i v,. A v- i"uj I boat swung out into deep water and floated I As soon as Bill saw his boat was all right he snoutea -uui oi nere, you a u noosn-rs, this pra'r meetm is adjourned. ' The story coiomi man the Republican craft out of the mire, and then they are told that reformation in that vessel is put of until the next election. 1 ... .

For the' past eight days a dragon with an insatiable greed has filled the pews of our II - "Wi l 1 church. I t was handed like Ureareus. head ed like Hydra, and footed like a centipede. It gorged prayer, hymns, exhortations and sermons. W hen. in tho morning, tne preach er did all ho could for it, it crawled hack in tho afternoon with its maw just as empty, its feverish eye just as expectant, its mouth just as wide open for more. It swallowed more prayer, more hymns, more sermons. It crawled back in tho evening to glut, or try to glut, its horrid greed. Sermons, sermons, sermons! They were swallowed whole, without mastication or digestion. With our knowledge of the human mind, we are ccrtain that no more than one good sermon can be digested by a congregation in a day; and that everv added word coes to the elut of intellect and feeling, and confusion of i Fusion. It is merely intellectual gormi m gorman dizing, and no activity, no rest or reflection, the people sit upright and hear tho words but they make no impression upon the heart or mind: for no time was no time given for reflection. We should like to know what tho Master thinks about this. Every sermon that a man hears after his first strong impression, and his first hungry reception is a disturbine, distracting and de pressing force. A delight in endless- preacnmg is no evidence of piety. Let our minis ters improve the character and quality of ourpreacning,and reduce tnequaniuy. v uai does the Christian Recorder think of this proposition. The Conference closed with eclat. Sunday services were held In the Temperance Temple, Evans Hall. Bishop Shorter, Dr. Jenifer and Rev. Simpson held forth to large audiences of white and colored per sons. On fha f!rn farAnOA fljibbftth. School anniversary was held. The school appeared - t gd advantage. At the close of the exKT18" 1 a uass vs. uijndv. uunav was tne aeem in ..., . i 1 "-mating a damaging scanoai concerning Bass. Bundy was disposed of by a severe

and stringent reprimand. Tuesday three ministers were admitted to trial. The Bishop sat down severely upon tobacco-using preachers. The Leader is to be complimented for bringing before the people the evils of excursions. The Indiana Conference has distinguished itself by putting a veto upon Sunday excursions and camp meetings. Resolutions of thanks were passed, to the people

of hvansville for their hospitality, to the railroads, to Rev. Lewis and the various clerks. During the day anxiety the most marked was depicted in the faces of the ministers: for the Bishop would at night read tho appointments. All wore anxious to know where they w?uld be placed next year: No doubt their hearts beat strongly as, the list proceeded tobe read by the Bishop. . It was the opinion of Bishop Shorter that this was the best session ever held of the Indiana Conference. . We are certain that this Conference compares favorably with any Conference in brains and executive ability. Elder Trevan, of Indianapolis, preached the Ordination sermon. By tho way, he is the finest looking man in the Conference. The following is the complete list of appointments: J. Mitchem, Terre Haute; W. S. Lankford, Evansville; H. Harper, Jackson Circuit; J. Bass, Ypsilanti; J. II. Alexander, Battle Creek; J. McSmith Rockville; H. II. Wilson, Cambridge; M. Lewis, Franklin; J. Myers, New Garden; A. II. Knight, Saginaw; R. Jeffries, Kalamazoo; J.

On Thursday mor inc the crip-sacks were seized and tracks were made for their different homes. The Kvansville people were loath to give up Rev. 31. Lewis. He, by his earnest labor, has done more for this church here than any other minister. His financial management ".I'1 VIU. M.AA V ... I till acts endeared him to all. He was mixed up was superb.

People outside the pale of the church were as regretful as the members themselve. He leaves us loving him. The people of Franklin are to bo congratulated in obtaining him for the year. The following is Rev. 31. Lewis' report for the past year: Contingent, $70.28; allow ance, $0017; foreign missions, $14; dollar money, $36; charity, $16.35; paid on church deWt, $CD6. This is the largest amount paid ?n ?Dur. .eDt y any Cnurcn except this in the Conference reports.

This is an excellent report, and all praise is due this congregation for their noble efforts, and it is mainly due to the able management of Rev. Lewis. "We predict that this confrrecation will supiort all measures of his successor, Bro. Lanford, who is well known here. Many of our youngest young men have been upon the ragged edge of despair for a few days. . Several sought sylvan retreats to avoid being found. Thev were called as witnesses in a dirtv case of bastardy, and the boys did not wish to place their morals in jeopardy. Sue Kelly, who has been on the town since the mind of man runneth not to the contrary, fastened upon a young fellow to father her unborn child. The younc man hau seventeen boys summoned to say if they did not know as much about it as no. The 'Squire dismissed the suit in ' supremo disgust. Miss Lizzie Moman, one of our belles, has no objection probably to a change of name, but sho does persist that while she remains in her present state she should not bo called Norinan, as some Indianapolis boys con tinuo to name her. The "Knickerbockers," our tony . club, gave a moonlight picnic Ihursday night. Mr. D-hlbcrt, the chief factotum, always presents an elegant program.
