SENATOB BEUOE. Just after we had gone to press last Saturday we received a congratulatory telegram on our magnificent victory from Senator Bruce, of Mississippi. The Senator believes that General Garfield's election is now assured almost beyondjperadventure, that there will be an end of tho Solid South, and that under the beneficent administration which General Garfield will give the Negro race and the people ot the whole country, North, South, East and West will enter upon a now era of happiness and prosperity. Ssnator Bruce has a right to rejoice over our victory, for he rendered us valuable service in its achievement. One of the most en thusiaitic out-pourings of the oolored people of Indiana was the one which greeted him at Indianapolis. The Senator is now campaigning in New York, where he will remain until General James A. Garfield is elected President of this great Republic.

"I know General Garfield well. The colored people and every other people, for that matter, may trust him implicitly. lie never betrayed a friend, he never ued his influence to place a man beneath him on account of the color of his skin. In purity of life, in honesty of purpose and nobility of action ho has no superior in public life. Senator B. K. Bruce. CORRESPONDENCE. All communications should be plainly written and only on one side of the sheet. Correspondents to be certain of insertion must reach this office not later than Wednesday. WRAIGX'S FRKK LANl'E. Colored Schools of OIiio Loeal Iaeoniea Personal Paragraphs Columbus, (X, Oct.20, 1880. We thought it would be sf interest to many readers, if should give some information regarding the colored schools oi Utno, so we have "lanced" the subject "freely for the bene fit of the Leader. Colored schools were first organized in Ohio under a State law, in accordance with the provisions of an act of the Legislature, passed March 14, 1853. The schools passed through many viacissitudea which we shall not detail at this timeUntil to-day, the schools of Ohio are doing good work, to say the least. "We shall base our statistical information upon the figures compiled in 1879. In Ohio there are 238 colored teachers, 24.525 colored children of school age. There are enrolled in the schools about 9,441, or 38 per cent of all Of white children of school age, 72 per cent are in school. These figures epeak for themselves. There are 2,873 children in country schools and 6,568 in city schools. The average anuuai duration of country schools is 27 -weeks; annual duration of city schools is 86 weeks. Number of colored pupils in academic studies, 939. Among the places in which mixed schools are in vogue, are the following: Cleaveland, Oberlin, Toledo, Delaware, Sandusky. The following cities and towns have unmixed Iligh Schools: Columbus, Dayton, Chillicohte, Portsmouth.'Circleville, Spriugfield and some smaller places. Cincinnati has a colored lliech School, under the principalship of that veteran pedagogue, Prof. Peter H. Clark. This school has given to the world many worthy men and women. In Columbus, there are 525 colored children of school age. of which 430 or 80 per cent are in school. In Cincinnati, out of 2,800 children of school age, 1,398 or no r ronturfl in rbool- in Sm-Wneld. out nf&J S(U nr 44 nr rent are in school in Aenia. out of 96. ö7ö or b(J per cent are in 9 - school; in Dayton, out of 200, 146 or 73 per cent are in school; in Chillicohte, out of 739, 307 or 50 per cent are in school; in Pomeroy out of 586, 333 or 58 per cent are in school. From these statistics some idea may he obtained ot the interest taken in DODular education by the colored people of Ohio. It is curious to note some facts regarding the population of Columbus. Tho common ratio is about 5 of population to every voter. There are in Columbus about 700 voters This erives 5 times 700 or 3.500 of colored population. It is commonly agreed that 3J of the Donulation snail equal one cniia oi school ape. This eives Z times 525 or about 1.837 of colored population. 3,500 and 1.837 is to ereat a variance. A great error exists somewhere. About one third of the colored people are church people, and figuring on this basis, and allowing the membership of our three churches to be 1,000, would give a population of 3,000. In 1873, in Columbus, the enumeration showed 484 children of school ae. in 1880, 523, an increase of but 12 per cent. The eain of white children here m the seven years is I -I . on .

A great many people of this city have been anxious to know of Cadet J. W. Whittaker's whereabouts and doings. He has been the guest of Prof. Greener of Washing ton, D. C, says the racinc Appeal. The Recorder says that he has been lecturing in New York in behalf of the Republican party during a part of last month. Mr. Al Roberts left last Friday for Co lumbus, O., to remain a week or two.

HIM Morton has been redeemed, and .too much praise can not be bestowed upon the men who fought so nobly. The contest with us was not confined to Ohio Republicans and Democrats, but we had "repeaters'' and "shoulder-hitters" with whom to contend. In Troy, Joe Goss and an English 5nose-masher'' by the . name of Stewart were assigned to do duty, but they did not prove as successful as did the con querors of ancient Troy. We gave them to understand that Ohio could and would take care of herself, and that is just what hurts Jongeo Thompson Poor fellow I he takes great comfort in the belief that the "portable nigger ' did it. ilow is Bill English? we wonder if he remembers his famous speech in Congress, in 1860, when he said if the neeroes were given their freedom, "How long would it be before the lion. Pomnev Smith. Fred. Doup--lass, or some other kinkey-headed and thicklipped darkey presents himself, all redolent with the peculiar odor of his race, to claim a seat as one of the people's Representatives?" What a thorn lion. J. S. Ilinton must be in the side of the 4poor man's friend." Just think of it, Mr. English, a "darky," "all redolent with the peculiar odor of his race," will assist in making laws to govern you. Now we advise you to rise and protest, ap peal to your countrymen, as you did in 1860, "to set their faces against this whole negro movement;" and probably it will bury you in political oblivion for another twenty years. inaiana is to De complimented in electing Hon. J. S. Ilinton, a gentleman of brains. to her Legislature. She is following in the tootsteps of Ohio. These men. Williams and Ilinton, send back the flaunting lie that the sole constituents of the negro are "big ieei ana ignorance." We heartily endorse "Wraign" in refer ence to a colored teachers assocation There are man v things the teachers of colored schools need to discuss that never receive the least attention at our Teachers' Associations. Se we shall expect "Wraign," with I his Free Lance, to lead off. We remember him as a great organizer, fearless of friend or foe, and shall look for much at his hands. LOCAL P IXT8. Troy's 150 colored voters are solid for Garfield. They are very active workers, and never fail to be in all parades, headed by our excellent Cornet Band, under the direction of Professor Wilson. J. G. Brown has stumped Miami countv and has been assigned to campaign work in Shelby county, which is the head-quarters of Democracy in Central Ohio. Mr. James Morehead, a graduate of Rushville, Ind., high school, who has been visiting friends in Troy for the past few weeks, leaves this week for JNashville,TennH where he will enter the Theological Department of .risKo university. lilB. Troublesome" Children. New York Tribune. 1 Children of torce, vitality, sensitiveness. individuality, will quarrel more or less in spite of everything. Grown people pos sessing these qualities do so. The aggressive man was an aggressive boy; the enterprising, energetic man was an enterprising, restless boy, often a verv uncomfortable boy to get along with. Selfishness properly regulated is a very necessary part of the succesful individual. Sensitiveness and impatience are by no means inconsistent with a fine and noble character. There isn't a mother alive to the interests of her children and her own responsibütie that can help exclaming: ,rWho is sufficient for these things 1" hut when we have done our best the wisest thing we can do is to leave events with God, and not cripple our energies nor waste our time in the con templation of our own ineffioency " and weight of responsibility resting on us When we have done all we can do to form right habits in our children and correct their faults, they leave us, and the world takes them in hand. The impatient man uuud iuai ue must control ms temper ana repress his hasty words or he loses by it; the careless man finds that to suceed he must learn to be careful; the arrogant man is taught by snubs to tember his arrogance with civility; the dishonest man finds that linTtoatir in fVio Vtoaf rr i-tt 4li-mnrtt Vta marr I J.' l 3 Ilul( reuuco luu maxim to practice in msown i.ta When we have implanted an earnest de sire m the hearts of our children to grow every day more and- more noble an4 true when we have kindled within them the fires of earnest and unquenchable aspiration toward whatever dignifies and exalts human character, when we have given them an ha bitual impuUe upward and forward, we have done well by them, fhe leaven oijce hidden in their measures of meal will work till the whole lump ia leavened. It takes God himself, not to speak irreverently, ages to make such a world as this, ages more to bring the human race to its present state of improvement. He bears with crim inals and human hyenas and waits for the I good to triumph over the evil. Can not we wait lor our cnuuren io mature into a rip ened manhood and womanhood? French Modesty. I London World.! A discussion nas arisen in France as to the costume worn by Charlotte Corday when she stabbed Marat, and some modern ladies have pronounced her conduct sheckmg not in committing a murder, but in killing a man in his bath. Modern modesty need not be shocked. In later days of the old French monarchy ladies frequently received visitors while enjoying a bath. But there was no impropriety. They wore bathing suits of the finest Valenciennes: and the water in the bath was made opaque by the addition of a bottle of essence or a jug of milk, m But decently clad in the bath than in the ball f.ir the name of tne tning. uiey -were more ' room.

EVAtfSVILLE DEPARTMENT. It is honorable now to be an Indianian, and this Republican yictory is the mot fatal blow the Democracy has received since the surrender of Lee. The Democrat ic hope of success in this section, raised their enthusiasm to a hissing heat. But now their defeat is a wet blanket of discourage ment. The party is croaking and grumbling everywhere under the strain. The elements hold together only by the hope of plunder and office, fall apart as the hopes are withdrawn and warring, gaping chaos takes the place of seeming union. They are reviling and abusing one another and each calling the other a "Jonah." Down'here the rank and file are saying cubs words of the Shanklins for the dirty campaign conduct of the "Courier," and the leaders of the Democratic Central . Committee are abused because things were not kept etraighter. Some: claim that the safety fund was held until it was too late to use iL The Democratic betting men lost heavily. PUBLIC THINGS. Several married people are in a condition far from delightful. One lady had her husband before the Justice, Wednesday. It is also my pleasant duty to warn our married ladies throughout the world that this thing of plundering and going through a man's pockets when he is in a bliss lul sleep is about to be declared a high crime and misdemeanor. A case of this kind ia now before our Circuit Court. John Sherman had his wife Nettie, arrested for- robbery. She is now on trial. We say let not a guilty woman escape. They all do it. .
