Indianapolis never had a colored policeman under Democratic rule. Do you wish to make taxes so high that a poor man cannot own a little

home? If not, vote against the Democratic candidates.

The JRepublican party is in favor of equal rights, a free ballot and an honest count. Do you wish to have a Democratic police force? If not, vote the straight Kepublican ticket. The defeat of the Democracy on Tuesday will carry dismay into the ranks of Southern rebels. John 11. Pierson, the efficient Councilman of the Fifth ward, has done valiaut sen ice for the party and richly merits the splendid en dorsement he will receive next Tues,in,r No colored man can atford to vote the Democratic ticket while the old slave holders of tho. South, backed by the Democratic party of the North, still deny to colored men equal rights before the law. The colored man who votes the Democratic ticket, gives aid and comfort to the brutal, bull-dozing element of the South, whom our friends throughout the land are striving to overthrow. D. W. Grubbs, the Republican candidate for Mayor, is one of our foremost business men and most upright citizens. Ho should and will be elected Mayor of Indianapolis next Tuesday. Mr. Grubbs has been identified with the business interests of Indianapolis for years, and no one doubts that Mr. Grubbs will carry to the Executive office of the city the same fidelity and efficiency that has characterized him hitherto in every relation, business, political, or social. He is decidedly better qualified for Mayor than his competitor, and besides he is a true and tried Republican The unfair fight made against Mr. Grubbs has stimulated his friend to greater exertions, and the indications now are that he will run ahead of his ticket. TI11 THIRD WAKO. Mr James A. Pritchurd is the reg ular Republican candidate for Councilman in tho Third Ward, and as such should receive the undivided support of every Republican. The men who are expected to supportihe independent candidate are in the main colored Republicans, who took part in the primary which nominated Mr. Pritchard, and 'bv all rules of party honor, are bound to support the nominee. Mr. 1'ritcnard made an honorable canvass and fairly won m the nomination and no one is more cordial and enthusiastic in his sup port than his colored competitor, Mr. Conrad Burleich. Mr. Burleigh is working diligently for tho success of Mr. Pritchard, and nran corearnestly urges every colored who supported him to give his dial support to Mr. Pritchard. The colored voters are in majority in the Third Ward tho and on them the responsibility of Mr. Pritchard's defeat would rest. There is no complaint that Mr. Pritchard has ever betrayed any trust or neg lected any duty. There is abso lutely no legitimate ground of oppo sition to him, and we trust and con fidently believe tho old Third will re turn Mr. Pritchard to the Council by an increased majority. . TUE FODRTU WAKD. Yo have thus far refrained from comment on th 9 complications of the FourthVard preferring to leave their adjustment to the healing influences of tho time. The contest for tho councilmanic nomination between Messrs. Bailey and Cay lor has been verv snirited. to sav the least. The first primary resulted in a tie. Ow ing to the blunder for which neither of the candidates was responsible, the respective friends each held primaries j . auerwaru.uu uiuereni.uay,auu ujm candidates were declared nominated. Tho matter was submitted to the Executive Committee for arbitration, which withdrew both candidates and placed in nomination Mr. Smithcrs. This was not satisfactory, and both by mutual agreement between Mr. bmitliers and Mr. (Jaylor a new nrimarv was held oh Tuesdav last, at i . 1 , 1 nv.li i. tvo """"""-v' This last primary was ono of the most I notiy coniesieu over ueiu in uiu waru, find it U Bnf.trt nCOnmn ihnt. thnroflro not a-half a dozen Republicans m the i i . i.i . . i . a1 a. waru wno Old not l&KQ part in uiu primary, had Mr. t, .. 0 ... Bailey or Mr. bmitner

secured thol nomination ho would

have given his cordial support to the ttf 1 1 a a a ' nominee. v e noia mac every man who took part in the Primary Con vention is in honor bound to support the man who secured a majority of the votes. We commend in. the highe&t degree tho spirit of the col ored voters of the ward who so faith fully and earnestly strove to secure the nomination of .Mr. Bailey, and we know that their Republicanism is of too good a quality to allow them to turn their backs on tho grand old Republican party simply because their favorite candidate did not receive the nomination for Council. The colore! and white Republicans alike of the Fourth Ward owe in to themselves to see that Mr. Oylor is elected by a handsomo majority, and they will do it. PIRK DEBUITEK SET RIGHT. An attempt is being made to influ ence tho colored vote of the Second Aldermanic district against Dirk Dc Ruitor. on the cround that Mr. Do J o Ruiter did not vote for a colored man in tho Republican County Conven tiori. We know this charge to be abso lutely false, in every particular There were two colored candidates before tho convention, and Jlr. De Ruiter simply made a cho ce between these two colored men, and for the - r colored man of his choice, he worked faithfully and voted often. A gnat injustice is being done Mr. De Ruiter by these malicious charges. He wa gallant soldier, during the war, for the abolition of slavery, and he has alwava been a frieml to the colored people. Sixteen years ago when a colored man could scarcch tret a meals vie tuals. at a public placo in Indianapolis, Mr. De Ruitcr kept a restaurant on a 1 t South IlllinoH street, at whicn no distinction was permitted on account of color. Mr. De Ruiter is more annoyed by the false position, in which these groundless charges placo against him, than by the fear of losing votes. Dirk De Ruiter is a straightforward, upright, honorable gentleman, and should receive the cordial support of every Republican voter in tho Second District, and especially of every col ored man.

An $3 overcoat was handed him by his clerk, and smoothing it out, he took buckskin money purse from his showcase, and stuffing it full of paper, dropped it into one of the pockets.

The negro buttoned up the coat, thrust his hands in the pockets and felt the purse.

IIACIi'fl IIA PPT HITS. THE SCHOOL GIRLS' HOP. For the last two or three months the young men of the Occidental set have eagerly been looking, forward to the ball which the Young School Giris' Pleasure Club, of Gaines' High School, intended to give. On Friday evening last, at Queen City Hall, their hopes and anticipations were completely fuiailod. At half past 8 the chairs around tho hall were filled with elegantly ' dressed ladies and gentlemen, and by 10, when the sweet strains of the grand opening march floated down from the balcony, where Professor Dave Hamilton1 and hia orchestra were seated, the scene became the more beautiful and grand as tbe many fair young girls leaning on the arms of the gallant young gentlemen went through the figures of tho march. The march being over, the first quadrille was. danced, and the various waltzes, polkas, schottiche? and quadrilles which were contained on the very elegant programmes were gone through with until supper time came. The Bupper, under charge of that favorite caterer, Mr.' Lloyed Johnson, was sumptuous and beautiful. The gentle men, although the guest of the ladies, gave way and gallantly awaited the second table. Ice-cream, sand witches, coffee, and all the delicacies were in profusion', and the supper a a whole was.- superb After supper the dancing continued untill 4 in the morning. The following ladies are members of the club, and were dressed as follows: Miss Ida Liverpool, green silk,' with green brocaded silk overdress and gold ornarrents; Mi -6 Stella Harris.pink buoting,trimmed in blftck silk velvet, with gold ornaments; Miss Cyriila Jackson, .blue lace bunting, pale blue silk trimming, and gold ornarnent; .Miss Sarah Newman, pink lace bunt,'n. otWI, Mi.oa.tin tfimmiTKr- Miao Mamio Rrtv. uh to awiss. nmk si k tnmminc: M äs Lulu Kav. white dotted nwiss: Miss Minnie I,,!! u,hitft nrRndier Miss Anna Todd cream-colored bunting, with red silk trimmint- Mi Tdi Orav. white nhvr rlnth red silk trtmmine: Miss Marv lirav. white ö ' .

Mrs Ann Baltimore very kindly assisted the young girls in the dressiog-'room and in the mena ;ement of the ball. Among the young gentlemen we noted Messrs. Joe Kinney, Charles Schooley, George1 Bowles, Eugene Hawkins, Jesse Woodson, -Peter Jackson, Grafton Jones, Freeman Murray, Will Burcess, , George Stewart, George Stevenson, Wm. Bond and many others. This ball was given by young school girls, who organized this club several months ago to give a ball as a c rapliment to the young gentle men of their set, and they have ueeeeded in giving the most recherche ball of the year and excelling by far all the balls which the young men, school teachers and young bloods of the city gave this winter. After seeing the ball given so elegantly by mere school girls, the young men of the city ought to Lang their heada in shame-'. The Press was verv generally invited, andvwe saw Messrs. A.J. Biggs, Louis Louis anil Henry Forte of the Louisville papers on the floor taking notes. The programes were the finest ever had at a colored ball and Were supremely el giut and fine. Long live the . ladies of the Y. ö. G. P. C. VAGARIES. $ "We never believed in spirituals m, much less did wo believe the Leader and its pub lishers to be spiritual mediums. But now, we do 1 r acts and documentary evidence will prove most any thing, consequentiy, we believe in spiritualism. A few weeks ago, on reciving the most convincing and authentic announcement that "Janus, ' of Springheld was dead, we Ehed tears and wept that a youne man ot such promise should be snatched away so ruthlessly, but we com forted ourselt with the thought that God only takes away tho good and the blessed. W e notod his death very feelingly and ap propriately and would have attended the funeral in Springfield had not business engagements prevented. When lol the fol lowing week appears in the Leader, a communication from Jarius from Spirit land. He says "he is not dead, but. bleepeth So it is with all spirits. At first our blood ran cold, but reading on, our blood was warmed acain bv Jarius' kind spiritual admonitions and advice. The announcement of Jarius' death caused quite a flutter among the ladies here too. One young lady took down a picturo from the wall over the mantel piece and looking at it for a moment, said, "Poor Jaruis, he-he's gone," and then wipi&g her eyes, she drew out the cabinet photo from tho frame, she slipped in its place the photo of another Springfield gentleman, continuing 44 Jariu, poor fellow, he was so good, so kind well, I guess 1 11 put bis in the album now and hang up 's photo." It must be awful hard to die, and we sincerely regret and mourn the, death of Jarius, and if we can only h!poarself,dyinz is the very last thing we intend to do. Gaines' Intermediate and Common School celebrated the birth of Alice Phoebe Cary, the poetess of America, at Zion Church, last Tuesday evening.

Since our la;t writing, sorry to say, father Time with bii keen blade, has visited us and cut down two of Springflelds old, and most respected colored citizens, Jacob Johnson, and Samuel Dudley. The former was born in Loudan County, Va., in 1826, tbe latter also in Virginia, in 1817. The former died Friday the 22J, 2 a. m., and tho latter Saturday 23, G a. m. Both were respected members of the North street A. M E. Church, The funeral services of Jacob Johnon were conducted by the Rev. J. W. Gazaway, on Sabbath morning, 10 a. m., and of Sam'l Dudley, Monday 2 p. m. Both services were attended by a host of friends. In the death of these two men we have but a gentle resiinder of what is in store for humanity at large, it is a question sett'ed beyond dispute, that all men must pass away; the old and tho young. Uy tho death of these two men Springfield loses two of her best citizens, the jJorth street Church two of her shining lights, and both families a kind and indulgent father, nono knew them but to respect theai; both died as they had lived, in tho full triumph of faith, an 1 the circumstances warrant us in saying that our Iosh is th ir gain. The fam ilies have the syrnathy of a large circla of friends. Sumner literary society for some reason?, which in the mnin, can be attributed to the oppressive hat, wits not so well attended, but nsuranci is given, that I those who did attend were well paid let the trouble of coming out. The exercises were very interesting as a whole, b it we take occasion to mention particularly the reading of "Clarence's Dream" by MUs I Hnttie Yate while we find it almott impos eil,le 10 command words to express our appreciation, we nevertheless believe that al who heard it will join us in saying that as an elocutionist Miss Yates occupies the placo preeminent in this society.

A Ferry Boat Capsized and Over a Dozen Persons Drowned. Elgix, 111., April 23. Between 8 and 9 o'clock this morning a small boat running over the Fox River, between East and West Elgin, as a ferry to take the place' of the bridge recently washed away, was capsized, and all the passengers, to the number of about fifteen, with but one exception, were drowned. The boat was a sere scow, Just purchased at a cost of $150, and was propelled by a rope, i ne urst nip was maae yesteraay anernoon. Those lost are mainly school children. who were on their way to school on. the west side The accident occurred In mid stream, but from what cause can not now be told. It U not possible at this time to give the names of any of the lost. as so many have been crossing both ways all morning, and it was not known who were on the craft. -ANOTHER ACCOCXT.i Chicaoo, April 28. The Daily News' special says: VThe ferry was crossing the Fox River this mornlne. and was lu tne middle of the stream when it capsized suddenly. The passengers, of whom probably thirty-three were little girls, were swept dowu tbe current uttering heartrending cries for help. Several were rescued wltn boats The body of Jno. Creighton's daughter, a:ed twelve, was recovered and she is said to have been resuscitated. Twenty persons are known to have been caved. Among tne missine are mos. Murphy, aged thirty: Leo layloT; sixteen, and Guy Carlisle, a boy. The ferry was seventy-five by fifteen feet, and when first used yesterday was condemned by the public at once." The Evenl ig Journal's information Is that about fifty persons were drowned, but it is almost impossible to net trustworthy facts as to the number on ioard ana savea sua lost. The boat was crossing the river from the west sUe, and when nearly two third ever, began to floo.1 with water. Passengers in consternation immedlitcly linked to the dry part of the D at, cliiitiiiir to the railing, which, riving away, pre cipitated them iuto the river. As the water ixui red into the boat it sank below .the surface. leaving thirtv human souls battling for life In the an irrv current.- The water at this point is fully fifu-en feet deep, and the current at least six miles per hour. Yesterday the Woat, which was ordered bv the City Council as soon, as the iron bridge fell last week, made its first run, and it is only a matter or surprise mat tne acciaent naa not occurred sooner. It Is only eleven bv sixteen feet, and docs not stand more than sixteen inches above water. Much iudlgmxtion 1 felt agaiasl both the Council and builders of tne boat. THE 8AVED. So far as ascertained, the following are among the saved: V. VV. II. Panton, Dr. Vonkochring, R.bert Eozln. Patrick Sullivan, John 'ollins, John Klrkpatrick. mlliam Long. Peter Johnson L. Olson, A. Iiarrintown, L. D. Eastman, two little girls named Emma Barrlneer and Bertha Kahns, and a farmer, unknown. These were reached by boats sent to their assistance and by boards. THE MISSING.-.
