A Sad Case. Lillie Clayton, a young white girl, living at 139 Massachusetts avenue, has been lying in a very precarious condition the last few days, owing to an over do3eof belladona administered by mistake. The girl gave birth to an illegitimate child some weeks ago, she having been seduced by a young married man named Anderson. The girl is just in her teens, and the case is a pitiable one, indeed. The mother of the girl charges that her husband (the girl's stepfather) has treated Lillie very harshly since her misfortune, but the neighbors deny this. The Magnolia and the J. II. T. are both union-made cigars, manufactured from selected tobacco. English's Opera House. Mr. Will English and wife, after a two month's sojourn in New York and other cities of theEast, returned home Wednesday night. Mr. English was in New York City the greater part of the time, securing attractions for the coming season, but his wife was ft r the greater part of the time at Ashbur Park, on the sea shore. Judging fromth kind of talent that Mr. English has secured, this season at English's will be the most brilliant that Indianapolis has ev;r witnessed. Mr. English says that he will have no second-class companies appear 1 1 his house this season. He pre'ers to give his patrons three first-class performances each week, to keeping his house open six nights with inferior talent. Among bis many attractions for the coming season we notice Adelina Patti, Gerster andStrakosch's opera company, "Mascotte" opera company, W. E. Sheridan, John A. Stevens, Haverley's best companies and many other excellent combinations of which due notice will be given in the Leader. The season will open at English's with Haver ley's mastodon minstrels the 2nd of Septem btr. Extensive changes have been made in the seating of Opera House, and it is now one of the most attractive places of amusement in the West.

Something Up. Tarbell Calls for a Conference of Leading Colored Men, Whom He Want to Endorse Hi Policy of Appointing White Teachers in Colored Schools. The äyMteui, "Courtesy," Ktc. The following potl card invitation to a conference was sent around to a few promi nent colored men, by II. S. Tarbell, Super intendent, Thursday: Office of the Board of School Commissioners. Indianapolis, Aug. 10, 1881. Dkar Sir: You are reqnested to mee". the Committee on Appointment of Teachers and Superintendent at School Board onice, at 8 o'clock p. m., Friday evening next, for exchange of views in reference to some matters connected with the colored schools. II. S. Tarijell. Wo go to press too early to give the results of the conference, but we feel satisfied Tarbell can get no endorsement for his crusade against coolred teachers from any intelligent colored man in the city. We will give particulars rext week. Snperintendent Tarbell stated in his defense some daj s ago, that it had been bis policy to assign new teachers from the Training School to the districts ,and place critic teachers over them. This has been his policy with teachers in white school?, but only in one instance and in one building has ever a critic teacher been placed over new teachers in colored schools, and these were colored teachers. However little the education or experience ot a white teacher, she is considered well enouch qualified to teach in a colored school without supervision. It seems to be the object to make the colored schools a kind ot practice school to prepare teashers for the white schools. Whenever one of these teachers shows any genius or aptitude for teaching, she is immediately transferred to the wh'ite schools. It is not the object, you know, of the Brown, Tarbell, Carey cabal to have good white teaahers in the colored schools. The "courtesy" business under cover of which A. U. Brown, and superintendent Tarbell, have absolute control of the appointment and removal of all of our teachers, does not obtaih so strongly in larger cities as it does here. In Cincinnati this week, a committee attempted to dismiss a faithful and competent teacher, a la Brown-Tarbell, for no other reason than that the person they wished to appoint was a favorite of a member of the committee. The Board, how ever, very promptly sat down on this little business scheme ot the committee's, and retained the teacher. A little of that kind of action is needed in our School Board. Courtesy is a good thing when rightly used, but when it is used as a cloak for scheming and double dealing, it is a bad thing. We have said a great deal' about this school question, but the htlf has not yet been told. There are reports in circulation and generally believed among the colored people about the appointments in the colored schools that are simply astonishing. Their character can le easily learned bv anyone of an investigating turn of mind. The following is from the Gate City Press, Aansay City, Mo. The board of education of Indianapolis has supplied no 19 school with white teach ers much to the disgust of the colored peo pie. Superintendent Tarbell has made this change simply as an experiment. Sj ho says In our opinion no deeper iusult can be heaped upon a colored community, in State where mixed schools prevail, than to place white teachers in colored schools. A Sample of the White Teacher Who Teach In Colored Schools. Editor Leader: If you will allow me a little space in your paper I will tell something about the white teachers, who teach in colored schools. Last year a white woman was placed in our largest public school, No. 24, as a critic teacher. She lived a long distance from the school, and could not go home to dinner. At noon she wanted a warm dinner, but, after looking about her location, and finding that nearly all the neighboring families wore colored, and the few whites not being ''tony" enough for her, she decided that she could not eat at any colored people's table, but would get some colored lady to furnish" her with warm victuals, delivered at the school house. She applied to a respectable colored family, living just across the street, and her dinner was furnished for a short time as desired; but this becoming troublesome the landlady requested her to step across the street and take her meals at the family table. This was too much for her; she could nrt think of taking her meals at a table witli colored people. Her next step was to apply to another colored lady, who lived about fifty yards from the building, for her warm ''hash" to be brought to the building. She was informed that ehe must step over and take her dinner with lame of the colored teachers who were boarding at the same house, or look farther for a warm dinner. She did look farther, and finally succeeded in getting a colored lady two squares away to deliver her dinner. Do colored parents want their children taught by teachers who feel it a disgrace to eat at a table with colored people? They do not; yet Tarbell, Brown, Carey & Co. kept one of this class stationed at No. 24 last year, and others of the same stripe will doubtless officiate in our colored schools this year. There should be, and doubtless is, some remedy for this outrageous imposition being inflicted upon our schools by the Superintendent and this committe. One Who Knows. Smoke the J. H.

TUN WKT. A Chance for All Who tVaut to (Jo here. The following U at; extract from a letter written to the People's Advocate, Washing ton, I). C, by Mr. Isaiah Mitchell, Denver, Col.: "All can find work who want it. A la borer can get from two to two-and-a-half i dollars per day Hotel waiters are in great demand The hotels pay from twentv-five to thirty-five dollars per month. There are a few colored waiters in Denver. omen cooks in private families get from thirtv-five to fortv dollars Der month. House maids from thirty to thirty-five dol lars per month. Colored women are pre ferred to any others. Men cooks get higher wages. In every city where 1 have been colored waiters, cooks, servants generally are in demand, farther west they pay higher wages, viz., Salt Lake City, Ogden, Logan, Utah, Blackfoot, Idaho ard other towns in Idaho, Melrose and Butte City, Montana. What a field for our young nun and women East. The mines are open to all who want work in them. Men get from three to four dollars per day in the gold and silver mines. Colored men have found iron, silver, and other valuable mimes at Leadville, Col. There are two of the richest colored men in the United States who own silver mines in Leadville, Col. The colored men need the spirit of venturo to get rich in this new country. Colored barbers re needed in all the places mentioned above in this letter. They get twenty-five cents for each shave and fifty cents lor each hair-cut. Tuey have fine public school buildings in Denver. All the children go to the same schools; but the fight had to be made on the color line. There was found one colored barber here eight years ago who made the fight and won his people s cause; his name is N. J. Hardin. He is a delegate from Cheyenne in the Wyoming Legislature. Refined colored people are coming to Colorado quite fast. There are many old families here now the Mosbvs, Cars, Riley and many others who are well-to-do, and have all the traits of refinement about them. The O. T.

Lynchkuru, Va., Aug. 11. The Coalitionists adjourned at 2 a. in., sine die, after hav ing indorsed the regular Readjuster plat form. The Straiglitout Convention reassembled at 9 to-day. The platform was read, and after much discussion on the debt plank it was adopted rui to 32. Ross Hamilton, leader of the Mecklen burg delegation, thought if they remained in Convention after the adoption of the platform they would grossly misrepresent their constituency, therefore they would retire. The action of Hamilton and his followers was severely criticised by the President of the Convention. A Committee on Nominations was ap pointed. The Committee elected J. W. Cochrane (colored), of Rockingham, Chair man of the State Central Committee and ex-ofticio Chairman of the State Executive Committee, and A. Spitzer, of Richmond, Secretary of the State Central Committee and ex-oflicio Secretary of the State Execu tive Committee. THE PLATFORM. The following is the platform: Whereas, It is proposed that when the people assemble In Convention they should avow the principles of government on which they stand; now therefore be it Resolved. That we, the Republicans of Vir ginia, hereby make declaration of out allegiance and adhesion to the priuciples of the Republican party of the country, and our determination to stnnu squarely uy ine organizaton oi me Repub lican party of Virginia, always defending it against the assaults of all persons or parties what soever. Resolved, That amongst ihe principles of the Republican party none is of more vital importance to the well .re and interest of the country in all its parts than that which pertalBS to Government coutracts. It therefore becomes the special duty and province of the Republican party of Virginia to guard and protect the credit of our time-honored State, which has been besmirched with repudiation or received with distrust by gross mismanagement of various factions in the "Democratic party which have controlled lesislation of the State. Resolved, Th ,t the Republican party of Virginia hereby pledge itself to redeem the State from the discredit that now hangs over her, in regard to her just obligations for moneys loaned her for constructing her internal improvements and charitable institutions, which, permeating every quarter of the Sta'c, bring benefits for a greater value than their cost to our whole people, and we, in most solemn form, pledge the Republican party of the State to the full payment of the whole State debt, less one-thi id set aside as justly falling on West Virginia: that the industries of the country should be fostered through protective laws, so as to develop our own resource? , employ our own labor, create a home market, enhance values, and promote the happiness anil prosperity of our people. Resolved, That the publie-school system of Virginia is a creature of the Republican party, and we demand that every dollar the Constitution dedicated to it should be sacredly applied thereto as a moans of educating the children ot the State without regard to condition or race. Resolved, That the elective franchise, in even right, should be based upon manifold qualilica-' tions, and that we favor the reieal of the requirements for the prepayment of the cavitation tax as pre-requisite to franchise a opposed to the Constitution of the United States and in violation of the condition whereby the State was readmitted as a member of our Constitutional Union, as well as against the spirit of the Constitution. Resolved. That we favor the rcieal of the disqualification of the elective franchise by the conviction of petty larceny and infamous laws which place it in tne power of a single Justice of the Peace, at timcB being more corrupt than the criminal before him, to disfranchise his fellowman. Resolved, fdnally. That we urge the repeal of the barbarous law permitting the imposition of stripes as degrading and inhuman, contrary to the genius of a true and enlightened people and a relic al barbarism. TUE TICKET, LUT IT DON'T STICK. The Committee on nominations reported the names of General V. C. Whicham. of Richmond, for (Jovernor; Major S. W. Yost, Staunton, Lieutenant Governor, and Jude Willoughby, Alexandria, for Attorney General. The report of the Committee was unanimously adopted. General Whicham and Major Yost addressed the Convention declining the nominations, but entreated the Republican party to make a firm stand and abide by the decisions of the Convention. The Convention then decided not to make any nominations. They deemed it inexpedient, but concluded with great unaiiuity to hold fast to the principles of the Republican party, ignoring any and all aproposi tions for a readjustment of the debt either National or State. The State Central Committee was instructed to issue an address setting lorth the actions and principles of the Convention. At 10:30 o'clock the Convention adjourned sine die. Not to Leave the Cabinet. A New York special of the 9th says: Postmaster Pearson sId to a reporter yesterday that the rumor that Tostniastcr General James contemplated retiring from the Cabinet to assume the Presidency of a liank and Safe Deposit Company in this city was entirely without foundation. He did not deny that the Postmaster General was interested in such a Company. "But," said he, "he will scarcely resign his seat in the Cabinet to attend to it." "Will the Postmaster General assume the Presidency of the new Company?" "That I prefer not to say, as lean not speak authoritatively, and would rather that he should speak for himself. He will not, however, resign his Cabinet position."
