Let every colored man who favors the elevation of his race subscribe for the Leader; and let every white man who believes that slavery was a crme against humanity and that it is the duty of the ruling race to aid the Negro in his struggle for moral, social and intellectual elevation do likewise. Among the prominent citizens of the State in the city this week, were Hou. W. R. McKeon and Post Master Filbeck, of Terre Haute, lion. R. B. F. Pierce, of Crawfonlsville, and General M. C. Hunter of Hiooinington. The Chicago Republicans know where to put patronage where it will do the most good. George 11. Beaid, editor of the Republican Advocate, the colored organ in that city, has been given a good clerkship in one of the courts of that city. General Anson McCook, of New York, introduced a bill in the House, "Wednesday, to place General Grant on the retired list of the army, with the rank and pay of General, the highest grade in the service. T hemeasure meets with the favorable consideration of Congress, the press, and the country, and will doubtless be adopted. A combination of Democrats and Republicans in Xew York seem likely to give Ross John Kelley the bounce. It seems that they have unmistakably got it laid in for the "Boss," and the men who bet, say he will have to walk up to the rack and take his foddei just as his friend Tweed did some years ago. Its mighty bad, but then every boss gets it one in a lifetime. "Brer" Wilson, of the St, Louis Tribune, just gets down on his marrow-bones, and howls like a savage because eastern correspondents claim that the Leader sustains the relation to the colored people that the New York Times and Tribune do to the white. A local sheet like the Tribune should rejoice rather than make faces at this evidence of the Leader's prosperity. In nearly all the States of the Union there are laws against the intermarriage of -whites and blacks. It is likely that these laws will remain. But even if they were removed from the statute books, nature has raised a barrier against miscegenation, stronger than any laws which can be enacted in Legislative or Congressional halls. Richmond (Va.) College Messenger. But then Southern white men scaled these barriers with an agility that is truly amazing. "Nature's barriers" are puny things when they cross the avenue of southern lust and rapacity. The New Orleans Observer informs lis that a colored boy graduated from West Point this year with high honors. He was appointed from a Louisiana district and known to be colored by the Congressman who appointed him. His fair complexion enabled him to conceal his identity and thus escape the fierce current of ostracism. We'd a good deal rather wear Lieut. Flipper's honors. Ho braved the storm as a Negro boy and won a victory which honors his race. It is reported that Senator Lamar, of Mississippi, frequently abandons himself for hours to the most abject melancholy. No wonder. The man who carried to the Senate of the United States a commission saturated with the innocent blood of hundreds of his fellow-citizens, whose only crime was the color of their skin or their honest political convictions, deserves te be pursued by the avenging demon of melancholy not only to the grave, but through the endless mazes of eternity. An enterprising and matrimonially inclined woman of New York City, named Rhumanscheider, recently attempted the herculean task of "cornering" the matrimonial market of the metropolis and adjoining cities by marrying up all the available husband stock she could find in the market. She bad succeeded in raking in eighteen unsuspecting bucks, and had the ropes all laid for the nineteenth and several more, when, unfortunate

ly for the sueceea of her plana, ona of her unsuspecting "gilleys," who had previously supposed that he was blissfully alone in the monopoly of her affections, suddenby surprised her in the enjoyment of the honeymoon with her last victim, and gave the whole thing away. The woman is now in jail, and the unfortunate eighteen have referred their respective claims on her to a court of chancery, which is to designate the one over whom she is to exercise legal control. The salient points in her plan, as so far developed, were to marry a man, honey and sugarplum him for awhile, then rob him of everything valuable he possessed in the way of money, clothing, jewelry and furniture, give him the "go by' and look out for the next lucky man. She is an enterprising, shrewd, far-seeing woman, possessed of a

natural ability far superior to tho author of the MorGy-Chincse forgery, and if she comes out of this trouble all right, we shall not be surprised to see her natural abilities recognized in an appropriate manner by the New York Democrats. CONGRESS AND THE MESSAGE. The Forty-Mxth Congress re-con vened last 3Ionday to finish its second and last sitting. The princi pal points of interest this week have been its reception and the reading of President Hayes' last message, the discussion relative to the electoral count, and the introduction of a bill regulating National elections. The message, while being a fairly able document, has not elicited a very wide range of discussion. Stripped of verbisige, its principal features are substantially as follows: Tho Presiident calls the attentiou of Congress to the unfair elections in the South, and advises measures to secure tho equal rights of all. The Civil Service system is the subject of laudatory re marks, and the "spoils system" comes in for a corresponding amount of denunciation. Congress is asked to go to the root of the Mormon troubles in Utah, and break it up by disfranchising all who believe in and practice pobygamj. Our friendly relations with foreign countries is made the subject ef congratulatory remarks. The satisfactory condition of our finances is ably demonstrated by a formidable array of figures, which it will be remembered never lie. In ternal improvement is endorsed ; general education advocated ; our In dians commended for their intellectu al and agricultural progress under Professor Schurz, and other interest ing domestic topics alluded to. One very important feature of the mes sage is its advocacy of the creation of the rank of Captain-General of the armies for General Grant. The mes sage on the whole is a very good one S- 1 1 . and uongress will uo well to act on all the suggestions and advice offered them. NEWSPAPER NAMfcB. In our humble opinion, there is too much of a tendency among many of our Negro newspapers to have too much name. This is a peculiarity however, to newspaper infancy; or rather, to men new in the business It is also especially noticeable among frontier papers in the West and South. "Republican Advocate,' "People's Advocate," "National New Era," "American Sentinel," "Nation al Tribune," "Freeman's Journal,' "Ohio Falls Express," and so on ad infinitum, would all appear to better advantage if the qualifying part of the name were left off. It is customary to use the name of the town or city of publication on the title page, in conjunction with the name of the paper, but anything further is bung e some, and only makes the paper appear ridiculous. This is especially true of small sheets as most of our -w . papers are. in tho same manner that Hercules Sampson Giganticus, as the name of a diminutively -sized person, would only serve to bring the individual wearing the appella tion into ridicule, does tho high sounding compound name, applied to our little newspapers, make themap pear ridiculous. Our brethren of the press should remember that brevity is the soul of wit in nomenclature, as well as in substance matter. COLONEL INQSBSOLL. Subjoined we give an extract from a newspaper man's interview in Washington with Colonel Robert G. Ingersoll, tho orator and human itarian. It is important as being an honest man's view of the relation of tho colored people to the country and the Republican party. In answer to an inquiry as to his views about the Southern and Negro question, he re plied as follows : "The next Congress should promptly unseat every member of Congress in whose district there was not a fair and honest election. That is the first hard work to be done. Let notice, in this way, bo given to the whole country that fraud can not succeed. No man should be allowed to hold a seat by. force or fraud. Just as soon as it is understood that fraud is use-

ess it will be abandoned. In that

way the honest voters of the whole country can be protected. "An honest vote settles the bouthern question, and Congress has the power to compel an honest vote, or to leave the dishonest districts without representation. I want this pol icy adopted, not only in the öouth, but in tne North. No man touched or stained with fraud should be al lowed to hold his seat Send such men home, and let them stay there until sent back by honest votes. The Southern question is a Northern question, and the Republican party must settle it for all time. we must have honest elections or the Repub lic must fall. Illegal voting must be considered and punished as a crime." "Taking 170.000 as the basis of representation, the South, through her astounding increase of colored population, gains three electoral votes, while the North and East lose three. Garfield was elected by the 30,000 colored votes cast in New York. Will the Negro continue to be the balance of power, and if so, will it in ure to his benefit? "The more political power the colored man has the better he will be treated, and if he ever holds the balance of power he will be treated as well as the balance of our citizens My idea is that the colored man should stand on an equal it' with the white betöre the law ; tht he should hon estly be protected in all 'his rights that he should be allowed to vote, and that his vote should be counted. It is a simple ouestion of honesty. The colored people are doing well ; they are industrious ; they are trying to get an education, and, on the whole, I think they are behaving fully as well as the whites, lhey are the most forgiving people in the world, and about the only real Christians in our country. They have suffered enough, and for one 1 am on -their side.' L think more of honest black people than of dishonest whites, to say the least of it." ELECTING PRESIDENTS, flndtaaapolis Sentinel. There is little probability that anything will be done to change existing laws relating to the election of President and Vice Presi dent of the United States, though it is almost universally conceded that they are defective. No question discussed in the Convention that formed the Constitution of the Republic was found more difficult than that which related to the election of Presi dent. Various conclusions were arrived at, only to be reconsidered and abandoned, until finally the plan now in vogue was adopted, as the best that could be devised, though grave doubts were entertained with regard to its satisfactory workings, and sub sequent events have demonstrated the cor rectness of the views of those members of the Convention who had sufficient pene tration to discern its weakness From 1789 to 1804 each Elector voted for two candidates for President. The one receiving the highest number o votes, If a majority, was declared elected President; and the next highest, Vice Presi dent In 1789 twelve candidates were voted for, viz: CJeorgk Washington, John Adams John Jay, lt. H. Harrison, John Rutleimie John Hancock. Qeorge Clinton, Samuei Huntingdon, John Milton, James Arm strong. Benjamin Lincoln and Edward Telfair. Only seventy-three electora votes were cast. Three Statei out of the thir teen did not vote, viz: New York, which had not passed an electoral law, and North Corolina and Rhode Island, which had not adopted the Constitution. General Wash ington received sixty-nine electoral votes. and John Adams thirty-four, and were de clared President and Vice President. Four votes are recorded under the head o vacancies." In 1792, at the second Presi dential election, there were five candidates, viz: George Washington, John Adams, George Clinton, Thomas Jehterson and Aaron Burr. GeorgkWashington received 132 electoral votes, and John Adams seventyseven, and were again declared elected. A this election three votes were set down to 'vacancies " We have not a record of the popular vote of the two first Presiden t al elections, but it Is fair to assume that George Washington was the most popu lar candidate, and was the choice of the American people by large majorities. In 179G, at the third Presidential election, thirteen candidates were voted for, viz.: John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Pinkney, Aaron Burr, Samuel Adams, Oliver Ellsworth, George Clinton, John Jay, James Iredell, George Washington, John Henry, S. Johnson and Charles C. Pinkney. John Adams, Federalist, received seventy-one votes, and Thomas Jefferson, Democrat, sixty-eight votes, and were declared President and Vice President In 1800 there were five candidates, viz.: Thomas Jefferson, Aaron Burr, John Adams. Charles C Pinkney and John Jay. Thomas Jefferson and Aaron Burr received each seventy-three electoral votes. As a result, the choice devolved upon the House of Representatives, and Thomas Jefferson was elected on the thirty-sixth ballot Jefferson received the votes of the following States: Georgia, Kentucky, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Vermont and Virginia ten States. Burr received the votes of four States, viz.: Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Rhode Island. Manifestly Jefferson was the choice of the people. In 1804 there were but two candidates for President, vir.: Thomas Jefferson and Charles C. Pin.iney. Jefferson received 162 electoral votes, and Pinkney two. In 1808 there were three Presidential candidates, viz. : James Madison, Charles C. Pinkney and George Clinton. Madison received 122 votes, Pinkney forty-seven, and Clinton six. In 1812 there weic but two candidates for President viz. : James Madison and DeWitt Clinton. Madison received 128 electoral votes, and Clinton eighty-nine. In 1816 there were again but two Presidential candidates, viz. '.James Monroe and Rufus King. Monroe received 183 electoral votes and King thirty-four. In 1820 the candidates were James Monroe and J. Q. Adams. Monroe received 231 electoral votes, and Adams one. It is fair to assume that the first nine Presidents ' of the United States were majority Presidents. There is no room to cavil upon the subject except In the case of Jefferson and Burr and the vote by States in the House of Representatives places Jefferson so far in the lead as to force the conclusion that he was the. choice of a majority of the American people. In 1824, the first minority

Presldent, John Quincy Adams, wan elected.

There were four candidates at that time. There were twenty-four States casting 261 Electoral votes. The popular and Electoral vote stood as follows: Candidates. VxJte" Andrew Jackson 155,872 John Q.

Ouve Logan arrived in Philadelphia on Friday from an extended visit to Europe. The Emperor William, old as ke is, killed 118 deer and wild boars during his recent hunting excursion at Letzingen. Goveror McClellan has just received a gift of the flint-lock pistol carried by WinfleM Scott during the Mexican War. It is thought that Mr. Flood will be a candidate for the Senate from California. He is a Demo crat, with plenty of money. Congressman Alexander II. Stephens is suf fering from dyspepsia even more thnu is usual for him. The very lightest food is hard for him to digest. General Hancock Ls still called upon now and then to acknowledge the receipt of some such gift as a cane, or a bust, or ierchance a toothpick, from his admirers. The American Woman's Suffrage Association will hold its next meeting iu Washington on the 15th and 16th inst. Lucy Stone, Mary A. Livermore and Julia Ward Howe are to be among the speakers. Mr. Wendell Phillips was sixty-nine years old on Monday last. His friends showed that they remembered it by sending him quantities of flowers. Several of his Irish admirers united in presenting him with a beautiful harp in flowers. What Mr. Laboucherc lightly calls "an epidemic for marriage among the aged" is still raging in England. The latest victim is Rev. Dr. Close, Dean of Carlisle, the Nestor of the Low Church party, who is in his eighty-fourth year, and has just married a widow of sixty-five. Rev. Thomas Stickney Haskell, who, up to the latter part of 187C, was an actor and circus performer, preached Sunday at the Carondelet Street Methodist Church South, in New Orleans. A large number of ladies and gentlemen were present to listen to the eloquent words of the be nevolent old gentleman. On the Hawley Branch of the Erie Railway, the other day, a deer sprang from the woods to the track in front of a loaded coal train, and kept a'i-ad ol the engine for about two miles; then, startled by the appearance of a pedestrian, leaped into the Lacka waxen River, swam across, and disappeared in the forest. Captain Kennedy, of the steamship City of Berlin, was presented with a silver tea-service in New York, on Wednesday, as a testimonial of his skill in bringing his ship through "the stormiest passage which she ever exierienced," He has crossed the Atlantic 456 times, but his last voyage was much more severe than any of the preceding ones. London gossip reports a tiff between Queen Victoria and her daughter Louise. A cable dispatch to the New York Evening Mail says: "The Prince of Wales is trying to reconcile the Queen and the Princess Louise, who offended her royal mother by visiting England without Her Majesty's permission. The Queen studiously avoided meeting the Princess in Scotland." Sewer gas is a breeder of diphtheria and typhoid fever. The Chicago Tunes has shown that many deaths from these diseases are due to sewer gas led carefully into residences by means of drain pipes from sinks, water closets and bath rooms. The traps are generally worthless, and the deadly poison often can not be detected by the sense of smell until it has done its work. Two men are litigating at Elizabethtown, Ky,. over a slave trade that took place in 1S55. The defendant bought a negro of the plaintiff, but finding the slave unsound, made the plaintiff take him back. Plaintiff discovered that the negro was unfit for work, and in 1869 brought suit to recover his value. The case is still on. The plaintiff is seventy years old, and the defendant eighty. ' . John vV. Mackay, the bonanza millionaire, recently visited the office of the heaviest stock house in New York and was shown the details connected with the conduct of . the business, all of which he closely examiued, and, on leaving, he remarked, ""Sou will hear from me shortly." It is generally believed that Mr. Mackay on his return from Europe will engage heavily in stook operations. A young couple eloped in Ballard County, Kentucky, and were overtaken by the girl's father, but not before a clergyman had united them. The parent drove the bridegroom away by aiming a gun at him, and took his daughter home, where he locked her up. The husband prowled around the house that night, and was shot to death by the angry old man. A number of American families, says the London World, who have long been regular residents of Paris, have announced that they do not intend to "keep house" there this winter. Sev eral are intending to winter in Italy ; others have gone home, and Mr. and Mrs. Mackey are going on a tour in the East, where they will meet Mr, and Mrs. W. H. Yanderbilt, who are to be accom panieu by Lord and Lady Mandeville. Mr. Henry Wilson, who died at Sheffield, England, a few days ago, was an enthusiast in missions, particularly in the opening up of Africa. He gave 25,000 to assist in equipping amission ary expedition which was to occupy ground opened up by Commander Cameron and Mr. H M. Stanley. The enterprise had a tragic ending, the missionaries being set upon by certain savage tribes and murdered. Mr. Wilson was in his seventy-third year. Henry M. Weston made his apiearance among the "bucket shop" speculators of Chicago two months ago, rapidly got on terms of good fellow ship with the proprietors, told them he had been a confidential operator with Russell Sage, and gave them points on which they rarely failed to make money. All this was done with a purpose, for he finally led them Into an operation by which he cleaned them out of about 8100,000 and com pelled them to close their shops. The eighteen bulletins issued by the Census Bureau have reported an aggregate population of 9,443,470. The census of the same States, Coun ties and cities in 1870 gave a population of 7,375,648. The rate of increase in these Districts, rep resenting nearly one-fifth of the whole country, is almost exactly 28 per cent., coinciding with great accuracy with the estimate made some months ago. This rate would give a population for the whole country of 49,354,715. Reports come from Portsmouth and other places in Rockingham County, New Hampshire, of a brilllaut and long continued shower of meteors shortly before 1 o'clock Sunday morning. The meteors were of varied size, and In color ranged from a delicate crimsn to a rich in tense gold. They fell in rapid succession, probably 400 falling in the Fpaceof eight min utes, and many of them burst, leaving gor geous trails of colored light lasting several seconds. Arout 10ft dressmakers' models are employed in New York the year round, and, during the fall and winter seasons, when they are in greater demand, about 250. It is another "avenue" of legitimate industry for our fair young country women, and one from which the tyrant, man, can never crowd thein. And will not some model put her experiences in print, and tell us how much pleasure there is, vicariously, in the wearing of another woman's silks and satins? Washington Tost. The fair Sara's agents, while working the United States, do not neglect her home interests. The advertising in Paris goes on with unimpaired vigor. A Paris paper publishes a telegram from New York predicting that Mile. Bernhardt will ultimately be proclaimed President of the United States, so unprecedented is her success with the populaee. Crowds, it is said, stand before her hotel and cheer her when she appears at a window. This is news that has lost nothing In its progress around the world. The Lewiston (Me.) Journal says: "We venture to say that one of the most remarkable families In the State is that of which Royal Quimby, ofLewIston, is the oldest son. Mr. Quimby's father and mother, John and Ruby Quimby, had eight children, all of whom are living. His father is eighty-nine years old, and his mother is eighty-four. The respective ages of their children are as follows:- Sixty, fifty-eight, fifty-six, fiftyfour, . fifty-two, fifty, forty-eight and thirty-nine years. All the children were present, at the Thanksgiving Day reunion, held at the old homestead in Exeter, Me. A large number of grandchildrenarid great

grandchildren were also with them. A Jolly company of forty-two sat down to dinner. The elaborate repast was prepared by the oldest Mrs. Quimby, who, in her eighty-fourth year. Is entitled to be ranked among New England's smartest old ladies, and the oldest daughter, aged sixty-nine years. Mrs. Quimby milks a cow and feeds the pigs every day." When a band serenades General Grant It is the best policy for the members to choose the easiest tune. The General does not know one tune from another. The other evening while a band was playing "The Last Rose of Summer," he said: "I always did like 'Home, Sweet Home,' especially that part of it which refers to the oaken bucket"

The band began another air, "Yankee Doodle," and General Grant said: "I always did like that tune of 'Home, Sw eet Home That refrain about Away Down Upon the Swanee River' always struck me as being very sentimental." New York Herald. Mr. Tennyson dedicates his new volume ol poems "To Alfred Tennyson, my grandson." The dedication is as follows: "Goldeu-hair'd Ally, whose name Is one with mine, Crazy with laughter and babble and earth's new wine, Now that the flower of a year and a half is thine, O little blossom, O miie, and mine of mine, Glorious poet who never hast written a line, Laugh, for the name at the head of my verse is thine.
