Officer John Lowe found a spring wagon ai d eleven grain sack?, marked "Evans & Co., in the bottoms near Maus' ice house. Next to the opening in Billy Kersands' fi.i'3f we think the gap made in the Democ. ttic partj last Tuesday is the largest on record. Mr. Charles Brown, of Marion; is in the cily.

On Wednesday a fellow named Tom Dugan got chuck full of bad whiskey and,' imagining himself to be a full fledged policeman took a woman named Lou Wagner to the station house and asked that she be 1 eked up for being drunk. His wish was complied with, and Thomas was also "run in'' to keep her company. James Henry, one of the Philadelphia roughs brought here by the Democrats to'do a little in the repeating line, became engaged in a row at the New-Denison Monday night and came very near being sent to the happy banting grounds. He received a severe cut m the tace ana a pistol bau flattened against the back part of hia cranium. It is not known who did the shooting. General J. H. Walker and Colonel Samuel Archer, of Terre Haute, attended the reunion of the Boys in Blue last week. They are both genial gentlemen, and when they started home they predicted that the old iloosier State would be all right on the day of the election. . Their prediction has turned cut to be a reality. Come again, gentlemen, there are none ol our friends more welcome tli an yourselves. A number of young ladies and gentlemen met at the residence of Mus Anna Crossen la-t Tuesday evening, and organized a club tobe known as the "Golden Group." The officers are as follows: President, Miäs Sarah Johnson; Vice President, Miss Anna Cros?en; Secretary, Miss Maud a Christy, agisted by Miss Lucy Shelton ;. Treasurer, Mr. Joseph Lane. The club meets on Wednesday evening of each week, and bids fair to be one of the most popular in- the city. TOOT! TOOT! TOOT! Wa killed them all at the ballot box Tuesday, and blew the remains away Wednesday night. ' Making: a Sacrifice. As noon as the police at the station house could take in the situation, they took time to laugh. It was on Wednesday. Tom Dugan came in, leading the female who is the solace of his solitude, and, handing her over to the authorities, said, with the air of a man consciousof having performed a great duty at an immense personal naerifiee: "You had better lock her unj she's drunk." He was willingto sacrifice nis mate for the peace of the community the patriot.' The remnant of a woman in the grasp of this Brutuslike benedict protested. The turnkey stole a glance at the woman which lingered until he was satisfied. Then he looked at her escort, and catching a gcent of his breath, which was something like the aroma of a distillery, his mind was made up. ' His sol-' eran verdict was the verdict upon which he acted the public safety will be best secured by the locking up of Tom Dugan. This grave duty was executed with dispatch, and the woman politely but authoritatively told to depart At this writing Tom Dugan. lingers, in jail.. .Whatever put it into Iiis drunken head i to think his woman drank' can not at this mowent be written,
ON TO RICHMONDWe left the city at 6 a. m., enroute for Richmond, Va via Cincinnati and B. and O. railroad?. Arriving at Cincinnati at 9:40 a. m., we secured our tickets for Richmond and return, after which we meandered through the Queen City, gazing at the tall buildings, fine stores, and the great fountain in Fountain Square and meeting every where throngs of seemingly busy people going to and fro through the narrow streets. Feeling as though we had seen about as much of Cincinnati as we cared to see just then, we took the street cars and crossed the great
suspension bridge into Covington, Ky wnere we mei iwo om inenas, . a. ixuiu and John Uillman. After visiting most of the places of importance and rambling over Covington, we recrossed the bridge to Cincinnati and had supper. By this time night began to fall and train time drew near, and you know that night has no eyes, or at i a ' rate we thought so, and did about as we pleased; taking the train at 6:40 for Washington. On the road we heard more about Indiana than we ever knew, notwithstanding wo had just left the Iloosier capital, where wa thought things very warm politically. A vote was taken on the train which resulted, Garfield 43, Hancock 13 and Weaver 6. and three rousing cheersfor Garfield and Arthur. Things were so very lively on the train that one could not sleep, and we wore cjlad when daylight began to peep from behind the great curtain of nature, which ( hanged-the political monotony to an admiration of nature's wonders. It was just at this time that we could discover that we hr.d been passing through a great entrench ment, dug by the hands of the omnipotent, and the grand scenery engorged our eyes until we arrived at Cumberland, Md., for breakfast. Here we had a good meal and they did not forget to charge us " for it either . (only seventy-five cents). Leaving here on time we began to look again and we looked until we got tired looking and fell into the arms of morpheus until we arrived at Martinsburg; from there to Washington no man could sleep, the scenery is so grand that one would be compelled to look from side to side with admiration of nature's beauties. One of the grandest scenes on the road is at Harper's Ferry, where the Potomac passes between Maryland and Virginia. This is the place where John Brown was captured, and it might be said that the great civil war began there. Relics of the late war can be seen there yet. Arriving at Washington at 1:30 p. m., we strolled through the Nation's Capitol with all the airs cf Western bankers. vVashingtDn, though not so great in population, is far a head of Cincinnati in beauty and cleanliness. After taking in most of the places of importance we took the train for Richmond at z:2U p. m., and arrived at Richmond at 10:30 p. m., where we wore met by a committee of hearty Odd Fellows, who escorted us to the committee's room, where we registered and were assigned places to board. Horace Hoston and I were assigned to W. R. Johnson's house, one of the most respectable citizens of that place and who had a prima dona for a daughter (that suited me you know, and Horace did not get very far from me). The next day was Sunday, and a very pleasant day, so we took advantage of this and saw Kichmond and the ladies. Richmond is a line place, but unlike Cincinnati, Washington, and our own Iloosier Capitol, with their busy people, Wn (ri instnart a dull auravtVtt? lirv mil. erable looking people. Crossing the James River 3londav, we saw and took supper with a brother of the late James Spencer, of our city. He is just as much like Mr. Spencer was, as one black-eye pea is like another. He has the finest farm in Chesterfield county. Tuesday was the day for our Convention, and at 10 a. m., G. M. Redmond Faust sounded the gavel and in a few seconds all . was as still as death. He stated the object of the meeting in a very few words and then introduced D. G. M. Wm. T. Forrester of Richmond, who delivered the welcome address to which the G. M. replied. By this time 185 delegates were present and more coming in. A. K. Manning of Washington, D. C. was elected chairman of the meeting. Sample, of Philadelphia, and Wilson of New Orleans, were elected secretaries. Not much of importance was cone before I was compelled to leave and come home. The Convention was too large to do much before the long winded speakers'got through making bunkum speeches. . If I bad not been called away before the Convention adjourned 1 would have been able to give a full aecount of the proceedings and a more minute description of the country through which I passed. I have been very busy this week and I expect you have also. Did you hear the news? If not look out for a telegram. BKNJ. ThOkOTON. Jnvelnlle ood Samaritans. -Lodge No. 2 Meet every first and third Mondays of each month. 138 New York St., Guistjndofer'8 Block. Alley Sams, Pres; Richard Shelburn, Sec; James Sams, Treas; SI.

Mr. James, the proprietor, is gentlemanly and courteous to his patrons, and produces a show excelled by no other variety theater in the city. Remember the 'show is given on Monday, Thursday and Saturday evenings of each week. Snlt for Damages. Colonel W. W. Dudley, United States marshal, brought suit for damages Wednesday against the Indianapolis Sentinel for $5,000, his attorneys being Harrison, Hines & Miller. - The cause of the action lies in the fact of the Sentinel's publishing a forgery, -which pretended to be the cepy of a circular issued from the' United States marshal's office, and signed by W. W. Dudley, United States marshal, giving advice to chairman of Republican county committees over the State to challenge all Isishmen and insist on their showing their naturalization papers. This, according to the Sentinel's forgery, was to be done especially in the country districts, whero the polling places were remote from the county seats, so that the challenged voters, compelled to go to the county seats to get their naturalization papers, would be unable to get back to their poll in time to vote. ' ' CORRESPONDENCE. All communications should be plainly written od only on one tide of the sheet. Correspondents to b certain of Insertion mint reach thU office not Uur than Wednesday. Lost Creek, (Ind.) The busy season is about over with the farmers of Lost Creek. Rev. J. W. Malone, of Illinois, was in our community this week on business. Mrs. Lucinda Stewart is yet quite sick; also Mr. Redden Roberts and Miss Eda Jasper. The A. M. E. Church of Lost Creek will be presided over this year by Rev. Mr, Toodle. At the grand rally on the Cth inst., Lost Creek was largely represented in the procession. . , r . , Our schools are all in good running order, and are all under the management of excellent workers. Miss Bessie 'Bradford's lead ing No. 9; -Miss Mattie Wiley No.'lO; Prof. Vm. Chavis No. 8. , . - ri ' A certain gentleman in Lost Creek says that we will never be people of much importance until we get more money, more morals, and more cultivated brains aomng us. You are right; hit him again. ' The citizens of the above-named settlement met at the Baptist Church for the putnose of hearinsr an address from Contain (: ,ö Bt Wall, of Washington, D. Ü. W, M.,
C. Anderson was called to the chair, and Mr. J. G. Bushnel was chosen Secretary. The meeting was opened by singing and prayer by the Chairman. Mr. Wall was then introduced who took the stage and in a very well timed speech discussed the past and present political issues of the United States. He very cautiously advised the col ored voters not to desert the Republican ranks. He said that we as a race had . been degraded by that party that has ever been an enemy U progress and civilization. He said that we had more need of standing by the party of civilization than any other class of people of this country. Mr. Wall left the
stage and was loudly cheered by our citizens, lie is an eminent gentleman ; would to God that we had more such men of our race in this countrv who were willincr to spend time in looking after the political in terest of our race. We can only say to Mr. Wall and all others who feel deeply inter ested in our political interest, go on, go on, hod speed the right. J (TKATT. Cleveland (O.) Itmi. Mrs. Roberts, of Columbus left for her home last week. Mr. J. Reed and also Mr. S. Thomas are the additions to the Excelsior band. Mrs. S. Cambbell left last Saturday for Sowickly, Pa., to vuit a sick sister. In San Francisco, Cal., there is a colored band of the same name of ours of Cleveland. A sister of Mrs. J. Rix who has been visiting her for some weeks past, left for her home last Monday. Mr. Daniel Williams, who has just returned from Wheeling, is opening a store at the corner of Garden and Newton streets. Our literary society of the A. M. E. S. S., is not making the head way it should. Less talk and considerable more business. The mounted troops (colored) made a very good show and presented a fine appearance in the procession last Saturday afternoon. Mr. John Simmons of U. S. S. Michigan, was hero with that boat part of last week. His home is here in Cleveland, though he enlisted at Erie, Fa. The Excelsior band furnished music for the 4th Ward Club last week, Wednesday night, the ah Warders, lrriday night, and the 1st Warders Saturday night. Jlr. Edward öcott, who has been for a vear in the Navy, on board the steamer Michigan, is again home, lie says the Havy is pretty good but he prefers Cleve land. The torchlitrhtnrocession of last Saturdav night was, without an exception, the grand est ever had in this city. Headed by the .bxcelsior lirass liana, colored. Iramedate ly behind them came the finest drilled torch licht comnanv in the citv. under Cantain T A a w a N. Frazee. The 4th can not any longer be called the best drilled in the city. Mr. W. S. F. Milligan and Chas. Lewis, who, as it was stated had joined the Han cock club of this city, have succeeded in breaking up this club and have also gained nearly all the votes for Garfield. Many of this club (of the past) we: e seen mounted in the procession of last Saturday afternoon These young gentlemen deserye credit for their valuable work. Wllberforco Gleanings. Bishop Shorter is at home again. The Rev. Mr. R X. Turner, has returned after an absence of some weeks. We do not know whether he is on a visit or aims to stay a while with us. Mrs. S. Stevenson has just returned from Dayton, where she preached Sunday, Mrs. Prof. Shorter is gone to Cleveland on a visit. She accompanied Mrs. Rev. T. 11. Jackson home. The Leader failing to reach us at its regu lar time last week caused much disappoint ment; snd even till now only three or four copies have came. Secretary B. W. Arnett is at home to exercise the power of a voter. The Secretary wields much influence in politics as well as in the religious walk of-life. Victory , is expected. . Miss Willto B. Austin, is still with us, .visiting relatives. Prof. W.S. Sar borough is the coming man in the Latin and Greek language. He is a student and ' scholar! His incessant perusal and rumination will not fail to be rewarded. . ',... ifMiss Gussie E. Clark is our last subscriber, for the Leader. Though Miss Gussie devotes a great deal of her time to music, as every person should to his or her profession, sho docs not fail to read. So the will welcome; the Leader to the Evergreen Cottage thia week. "' 1 In addition to the regular Services of last Sunday, the Sunday School Missionary Society, .elected its officers. xThe results of the election must bo-omited, for the want of tiaie. Since our. last communication, the Y. M. R. R. A., has elected its officers with commendable results also. . Up to the present, everything moves on in a usual manner and the legitimate results follow. The Republican rally, of last week, aroused the sleeping patriotism in our bosoms and we resolved that if the Democrats beat the Republicans in this all important struggle, they must beat us first. We enter the conflict tomorrow and ere this 'commu nication reaches the many readers, of the Lieader, the battle will have been fought, the victory won, and, we trust the Republicans made happy, . : - ORAPnO. . Wratgn'a Free Lande. , Columbus, Ohio, October 12. "Non Dum" gets smart and suggests that "Non Nolo." "Omega," "Lex.- and Non Dum" send "Wraign" a translation of the above miscellaneous mass of Latin, and Greek; ; If these classical cent lernen see fit to do so, I shall consider it my bounden duty: to publish the alleged translations, with all the necessary corrections, and. then show the absurdity of attaching any such stuff to a newspaper letter of a general character. My suggestion to (Non Nolo" was in a kind spirit. and I assure MNon Nolo" I am not olTendcd at his remarks. 'My friend ''Grapho" says in last week's Leader: ' Wraign's Free Lance' will find a great deal to do, and if it strikes a bone, its goodbye to it." Such a handsome fellow as ''Urapho'' is apt to be a "bone of contention" among the Wilberforce lassies' and the village maidens, and we shall forbear striking him (a bone) as he has predicted the ruin of our "Lance" in such a case. ' There is a general feeling among the colored teachers of Ohio, that an association would be a good project. The teachers in the following placoa favor it: Columbus, Dayton, Xenia, Springfield,' Wilmington, Circlevillo, Chilllcothe, Yellow Springs and Troy. We hope the teachers will think of and agitate the matter, and meet at Springfield at a dato which I ihall give later on, at which time the Central . Ohio Association meets. An organization of the kind would, in our opinien. be of incalculable good and weild an excellent influence that would command r spect. Garfield must be and will be elected. He is needed to complete , a historic, triune group. . We have had Lincoln, the "rail splitter," and the grand "martyred ' President;" we bave had Grant, the tanner,, the great general and "citizen "of, the world;" and we need Garfield, the "canal-boatman, the distinguished ! ' i-rtatesman," rep-t resenting the . highest possibilities of ' the J American youth. Lincoln, Grant and Garfield would maka a trio of great men unaur passed in the annals of the world, -k The leadififf eolleire in America managed lexclasivel by Afro-AmcxicMs ii ,. Wilbor-

She should to-day have enrolled 500 pupils, only an average of about fourteen to ench State in the Union. "Rienzi" gets offa good thing in his last letter when he favors "eulogizing living men. ' The bitter .strife and competition among men to succeed and exceed so checks the better judgment that we do not render 'honor to whom honor is due." We sincere! v hone that Hon. J. S. Hin ton may be elected to the Indiana Legislature. It would be a fitting rebuke to those negro-gro-hater?, Vorhees, Landers and English. He will honor the exalted position. LOCAL LACONICS. I cast my first vote to-day. Indian summer approaches. Very few colored Democrats here. Tho ''mosquito exodus" is about over. Politics takes the place of everything just now. Our schools aro the largest in their history. Organize your Literary Societies for the winter. Our colored glee club now meets in the State house. Mr. Chas. Miller, of Pittsburgh, passed through Monday. Harvey Hall, aged 85, and father of Jas. Hall, died last week. The election is over, but at this hour no definite results are known. Rev. Geo. W. Maxwell, of West Jefferson, was in the city this week. Dr. B. W. Ornett and wife, of Wilber force, were in the city this week. Prof. Greener has left many friends and an excellent opinion of his cultured ability. ' In . November the Republicans 'will again achieve a grand victory on the (Gar.) field. Mr. Solomon Johnson, commonly known by '.his friends as ''Sweet," is home from W ashington to vote for Garfield. Hon. Milton M. Holland, after doing most effective campaign service in the State, goes home to V ashington to-morrow. Misses M. Estelle Rodin and Ella J. Green, two of our teachers, visited Cincin nati last .week, and speak in high terms of their cordial reception. The Yountr Ladies Church Aid Societv. Miss R. C. Taylor President, and Sadie 1). Broadis Secretary, will give Mr. Thompson, their new pastor, a reception to-morrow evening. I regretted to Lear that my friend Her bart A. Clark, of the Queen City, received an injury in a political procession. I shall vote our Republic ticket with a vengeance in consequence. A lodge of the Independent Order of Im maculates has been organized here. Among the charter members are ha M. liryant, Chas. E. Ransom, I. S. Tuppins, T. G. Spen cer and others. Rev. Thompson's A. M. E. church has an excellent opportunity to liquidate their main debt. A generous white citizen has offered to donate $1,500 if the church raises about $1,000 by January 1st. Ralph Waldo fcmerson rvler says ne is going to Cincinnati because Ross did. Ty Ter didn't steal his name, for his paternal relative gave it to him. Ralph is reading poetry to find some pretty things to say. Look out, girls' for this wild-eyed son of destiny I .
