It will be remenihend that this uartv is the same to whose gooa char acter a certain would-be preacher, doctor and several other things too numerous to mention, swore in open court. The police are of the opinion that a great manv of the stories alxut assaults and rob beries by foot-pans are falsehoods manufactured from whole cloth. Thev claim to havecarelully investigated several cases p.nd found them to have resulted from tights or accidents. Great excitement prevailed throughout the city last week over the rumor that a certain oliccnian had made a profession of religion and jo. ned church, lhe case was immediately put in the hands of detectives, who after a week's work, have decided the charges groundless. Ilenrv llotjan was without an overcoat Tuesday, notwithstanding it was one of the coldest days of the season. When Henry was interrogated about the absence his outer covering, he told a tale that would have made a foot-pad smile. Now Henry, if you don't bring up the cigars we 11 tell what we know about that coat. We will give our heartv cooperation to anv movement for the thorough organization of the colored vote of this citv and county, for the protection of their own political interest, but if it becomes apparent that any leader in thu move is not actuated bv the purest of motives, we shall not hesitate to expose and denounce him. It is reported on reliable information that a certain Baptist minister whose church is not a thousand milt s from the corner of Indiana avenue and Michigan street, informed his IJoard of Trustees that unless they increased his salary from $50 to $05 per month, he would have to "look around. Rumor says the Board with united voice invited him to ''lock." Surely the way of the transgressor is hard. There is a very grave accusation afloat in reference to the methods used by one of our teachers in the public schools, in conducting her examinations. It is hoped that the charge is not true, but since it comes from one of the accused teacher's pupils it would be well for parents to investigate the matter, as the School Board has long since ceased to consider the good of the eolored schools. But 'twill not be ever thus that is theS. B. will not. Wash! ngtonvi lie, Ohio, June 17, 1880.

It was, last winter, one of the best literary societies in the city, and we helieve if the proper spirit can be aroused, it may yet do a great deal of good. Burrell Heardspath, of the New-Denison, thinks of leaving the city in a short time for his home in Hushville, Ind. During his stay here, he has made himself a favorite with all his acquaintances, and his departure will cause much regret. A meeting was held on Wednesday evening by a number of young ladies, at the residence of Miss Kebecca Shy, No. 302 North Miss, street, to arrange particulars for giving a grnd masquerade hall on the 14th of February, St. Valentine's Day. This is the first entertainment of this kind that has ever been attempted by the young folks, hut all indications point to its success. The New York Sun says: "The best presiding officer we ever saw, was a page in the House at Washington, who used to stand behind old Governor Pennington, of New Jersey, and tell him what to say." Those gents who are now sharpening up their political knives preparatorv to battle for a position in the next legislature, should remember this and brush up on their parliamentary knowledge, and it is rnsdhle that one of them may be awarded that post of honor. Stak. Htid Death. The many friends in this"city, of Mr. Samuel B. Archer of Terre Haute, will be pained to hear of his fatal wounding and death, last week. Mr. Archer was employed at the Vandalia office, and while taking the mail from the office to the depot he met with the accident which resulted in his death. While walking aloncr the track with a heavy load of mail, his neck and ears bundled up to protect them from the cold, he was struck bv a switch engine and before the engine could" bo stopped received mortal injuries.

LOCAL LEGISLATION.

The Board of Aldermen met in regular meeting Monday night with Messrs. Tucker, Seibert, Mussnian, Hamilton, De Ruiter, Newman, Wood and President Layman present. IXTRA PATROLMAN. A motion by Mr. Hamilton that 100 extra policemen be immediately placed on duty to protect our citizens against footpads failed fco carry. In speaking on the motion. Alderman Tucker expressed the opinion that if ine presentiorce would do less LOAFING ABOUT SALOONS, ' and more patroling on their beats, the citizens would be amply protected. To sustain his charge, he said that one evening when he wanted ail officer in the Twentieth Ward and in quired for one, be was informed by a man who knew that leader's saloon, corner of Fletcher avenue and Dillon etreet, was the headquarters for the policemen of that Ward, and upon inquiry and investigation he found the same to be the case. After a lengthy discussion, during which the police force and Police Board were scortched at every turn, Mr. Hamilton offered another motion to the effect that FIFTY XXTS1 PATROLMEN be immediately employed to do service durI ing the next ten days to protect the lives and property of belated pedestrians cn the city's public thoroughfares, the extras to be appointed by the Police Board, subject to the approval of the Committee on Police of the Board of Aldermen, which was carried by a vote of seven to one. REPORTS OF COMMITTEES. The report of the Board on Public Im provements, approved by the Council, was referred to the Committee on Streets and Alleys. The Board concurred in the action of the Council, in adopting the report of the Com mittee on Judiciary, with the exception of the allowance of $25 to Pro f es sor C. C. Koerner, damages alleged to have been sustained to his buggy by bein run into by a hose reel, which was referred to the City Attorney. Certain recommendations of the eiTT ATTORNEY on matters referred to him and adopted at the last session of the Council were concurred In. A message was received from the Council announcing their refusal to concur ia the action of the Board in authorizing the ap pointment of fifty extra patrolmen for ten days, and adopting in its stead a motion instructing the Police Board to appoint twenty extra policemen to serve two weeks. The Roaid receded from their former action, and adopted the motion submitted by the Council, with the amendment that the apjointments be approved by the Police Committee of the Board. the loitering ordinance was passed as it came from the Council. SWITCHING CHARGES. Aldermen Seibert, Mussman, Tucker and Drew were apointed as the Special Committee of the Board to confer with the Citizens' Committee and the Committee of the Council to protect the citizens against the recent action of the several Railroad Companies in charging switching rates. WATER WORKS CONTRACT. Mr. Seibert moved to recede from the Board's action in concurring in the Water Works contract passed at the last session. The question of requiring the Company to furnish PCRE WATER and sufficient fire protection was discussed at length by Messrs. Layman, Seibert and Hamilton. The matter was finally disposed of by inserting in the contract a clause requiring the water furnished "to be of a degree of purity not lower than the standard of purity of good 'palatable water' as established by the National Board of Health All questions as to the purity of the water tobe referred to a chemist selected by the Council, Board of Aldermen and Board of Health of the city." On motion of Mr. De Ruiter, tire Committee on Insecure Buildings were directed to examine F. Stout & Son's building in process of erection, and report on the same. SAFETY GATES. The ordinance requiring the several Railroad Companies to erect safety gates at certain railroad crossings of street?, heretofore published, was passed under a suspension of the rules. CAN BE TAXED. The City Attorney submitted a lengthy opinion to the effect that the Western Union Telegraph Company, the Telephone Company, the New Mutual Union Telegraph Company, the Brush Electric Light ComWUT OlIU ""iVJ and all other Corporations holding charters under the city, are subject to taxa I tion. MA UK IT HOUSE. A motion was carried directing the City Civil Engineer to report plans for the erection of a Market House on the south half of square 44 (East Market), which shall not exceed in cost $'2ö 000, and that when such plan is accepted by the Council and Boarr, such Market House shall be paid for from the Tomlinson fund. The Chief of I'olice was directed to report the cases filed during the past year against parties for violations of ordinances for block ading of streets by railroads, and also cases hied against citizens lor blockading side walks and alleys. Adjourned. Council Proceedings. The Common Council met in fpecial ses sion Monday night, with the Mayor in the Chair. THE COW ORDINANCE. A motion to refer the cow ordinance to the City Attorney was passed by a vote of 14 to 10. An amendment that oows running in davtime be licensed was 1 id on the table, POLICE KEINFOBCEMENT8. A resolution from the Board of Aldermen that fifty extra policemen be placed on the force for the next ten days was not concurred in. Mr. Morrison offered a sub-jtitute that twentv additional men be placed on the force for the next two weeks. Mr. Dowling opposed the motion on the grounds that the Chief of Police had stated it was in his power to check the work of toot pads after the proposed ordinance shall go into effect, but favored employing depu ties to go on the streets in citizens' clothing until that time. After Mr. Dowling's state ment, Mr. Morrison endeavored to impress on the Republican members of the Cyuncil the necessity of adding twenty regul, mem bers to the force. Mr. Dowling deprecated bringing in politics in this matter, and at this time, and insisted upon taking the Chief of Police at bis word, that if the loitering ordinance passed he ould rid the city of the footpads, but for the intervening two weeks necessary to nave tue ordinance In force, strongly favored the appointment of the twenty additioral men lor two weeks. Mr. Pritchard said he had conversed with the Chief, who said he. could get along with the four extra officers provided they were placed on regular duty, and therefore opDosed the motion. Mr. Full z ottered a sub stitute that the Chief be authorized bv the Police Board to Instruct the force to appear in citizens clothing and patrol their beats singly instead of in pairs, lhe Mayor said the Chief had already taken such a measure, and the substitute waa withdrawn. Mr. Morrison's motion was amended to say two weeks instead of sixty days. The motion as amended was passed. LOITERING ORDINANCE PASSED. The loitering ordinance (heretofore published) was then taken up and unanimously passed and sent to the Board. THE MARKET H078E PROJECT. A Committee, consisting of Messrs. W. H. Craft. John T. Brush and James II. Hess, representing the Mercantile Association, presented a petition from 6,000 citizens advocating the erection of a new Market House and City Hall on the East Market space. Mr. Craft made a short speech favoring the r roject, and the petition was referred to the Commissioners having charge of the matter. MISCELLANEOUS BUSINESS. The ordinance requiring a flagman at the

MC

crosaiighf the J., M. aiid I. Railroad and Madison tt venue and other crossings of said road was passed, and the report of the Judiciary Committee recommending the re funding of certain taxes to William Rowe was concurred in. The motion to employ extra police officers as amended and referred back by the Board was concurred in after severe criticisms of the Board's action as inteuded to kill the motion. In regard to the new railroad switching charges, a motion was passed that the City Attorney investigate and report whether the citv has anv jurisdiction in the matter at the next meeting. An ordinance was introduced making the careless handling of fire-arms a niisde meanor. SAFETY GATES. An ordinance was introduced and passed by suspension of rules requiring the various Railroad Companies to erect safety gates at the different crossings of the more import ant thoroughfares within thirty days. It provides that a competent man be employed to guard such crossings between the hours of 6 a. m. and 9 p. m., and makes every fail ure to com Dly with said ordinance subject to a fine of'$i0. Council adjourned at 10 o clock. "Oulda Walfn. Constancy. My love Is not a transitory name. Which idle romance clouds or kindles. Burning at first with Intense Same, And then la dark gray dwindles.

It is often remarked that thin is a progressive age. The question arose lefore me Sunday eve. Wis it an age of progression or digression? and I was almost persuaded to think it of the latter, from the conduct of some of our most estimable voung ladies that evening, at church- I think it about time to speat of the deplorable Btate our girls have fallen into, one that is not at all becoming or proper. It is the neglect of decorum whiN at services. I repeat, it is not becoming oi proper, nor is it pleasant to those about them, for in the first place it prevents those tear them from hearing the speaker. In the wcond place, it makes them apear rediculous and lllmannered. In the third and last bit not least, it makes the gentlemen think less of them, as well as others who notic tkern, and it is all still more noticeable when lour or five are late and enter church together. Now girls I will not say more this t:me, because I think a hint suffiient to the vise. I know "Humanuni ext errare.v lolltlcal .lot. Burley's stock seems to be looking up. The race for township trustee seems to be narrowed down to Capt. Harvey and T. J. Morse. Next wedc we will publish a review of the merits of tie different candidates who will be bi-fore the Township convention. Const abb Plummer is a candidate for a renominaton. He has a good record and will doubt ess be a successful candidate. Theprojer way to organize a league is not to call a iweting and invite all the candidates to atend. Let us have no more of that sort o: business. E. N. Rchards, the poetical candidate for Treasurer, has got more in him than oetry; and we pndict that when the convention mv!ets, it will be found that he has not been asleep. "Word his been passed all along the line, and the adored troops will battle against the nomination of a man for township trustee who woult not vote for a colored man Now let am quietly withdraw from the race. While tie Leader will give its heartv en dorse rucnt to any oigamzation among the colored people which will promote the interests of lhe whole people, it will not under anv circunstances endorse the establishment of any political bucket-shop. Conrad Burley has decided to enter the field as a candidate for Justice of the Peace. Mr. Burley has had considerable experience in the opeiations of 'Squire's courts, and would douWlesg fill the bill in every partic ular. So Id it be 'Squire Burley after the April electbn. ' There is slid to be some kind of a political club on Mais, avenue, where persons who are known to b candidates for different offices are almost veekly Invited to attend. We can't exactty discover the motives of this club but we willtake one more week for an invesligation of he matter before we either eondemn or conmend its action. The Repiblican is demanding that the time for hading the next county conven tion be chaiced to an earlier period than Sept. 7, an claims that it voices the senti inent of th people, but even-body knows that the vaere don't care when the conven tion is held However, the executive com mittee are 'lot very likely to change the date in ord,r to suit the convenience of the Rcpublicac The poliical announcement in this paper are publislrd for persons who pay for them, . . . . . ... and who doubtless feel that by so doing they are aiding i worthy enterprise, mere are a few fellovs seeking office who seem to think that t they insert a political notice, the editor aid ererv compositor should take off their coafe and canvass the city in their behalf. We solicit announcements, but would rathei be excused from entering into anv such cntracU as the above. The colorel voters of this city seem to be determined b take the proper stand in pomeal matte at last, lhev propose to cast their votes it the future for men whose past and present iecord will eliminate from the mind of the troter the least suspicion that af ter being eleited, the color line, in the matter of appoint mm ts will be strictly drawn in fa vor of the Wutes. A harmonious effort is being made 10 organize for the purpose of carrying oit this proposition, and it seems to meet with a hearty approval generally. Considering tie fact that so many promises have been male only to be broken after an

mmmmm TTT f f m n t'' ia

election, it is only strange that the colored voters have not been ripe for this move long ago. Men woo are onlv Republicans for the sake of getting office may well feel shaky , but there is nothing in this movement to dis turb a Republican who practices what all preach when seeking an elective office. StruM-H. An old proverb says that "straws show which way the wind blows," and judging from the numerous fragments now floating around through the air, there is a storm brewing in one particular point of Unpolitical compass, which, unless checked will leave a well marked track. A little more than a year ago, when there was iminent langer of the administration of public affairs being placed in the hands of the Democratic party, an eloquent and urgent apieal was made to the colored voters of the country, and especially to those of the State of Indiana upon which thu national result depended, for their suffrages. Promise upon promise was made them. They were told that if they, at present as they had in the past stood true to the Republican party, in the event of its success they should have that representation in the distribution of Governmental patronage that their influence on the result of the election demanded. Whether they beleived these promises or not, they did stand true to the Republican party. Their votes, all over the North were east as a unit for the party now in power. Whether those men who owe their positions to colered men have discharged their duty toward them, whether they have kept the pledges they made may be plainly seen. this uissatislaction prevails not only in Indiana, but there is a murmur all over the land and as above stated, if the fault is not corrected it win one day break lorth in a storm that will sweep every thing before it. All men do not break pledges when they make them. In our own county of Marion, we have men who when they were asking for the votes of colored men promised them represen tation in the distribution of patronage, lhey were elected, and their first official acts after taking charge of their offices was to appoint colored deputies. Such men should not and will not be forgotten by colored men when they come before the jniople again. ,V K2).(K) Itllll al lrlz.
