We, imagine the radicals will onlyaregard him as good endugh to vote. as long as be votes with .thjcir pi\rty. { ,

~ Oh, what & winning love the radicals have for the negro. R Thisfstory is not yet entirely told. There is anq{her chapter. -

The greatest outrage yet perpetrated upon the colored people is that just accomplished in Mississippi. The radicals have elected Gen. :Alcorn to the United States Senate for the long term—six years from the 4th diy of March, 1871—and Gen. Ames for the short term. They have also elected Dr. ‘Révels’(a colored man) for the term extending fromthe prescnt time until March 4th, 1871, {know‘ing,'as they do, that Mississippi will not be ad mitted before that date! | ;

Awmes, Alcorn ani the carpet-baggers "get the subsiance— Dr. Revels and the pegroes get the shadow ! . ~ Oh, what kind, considerate andjobliging friends of the eolored people the members of the radical party are! The fact is, the radical party cares nothiffig for the’negro. They propose to use him for their own benefit, by appealing to his prejudices and ‘his passions, They calculate upon his being weak and ignorant. In this they may be mistaken. The democratic party has never deceived the negroes. We have steadily op posed their enfranchisement by an amend. ment to the constitution of the general government, because it was an infraction of the rights of the States, in which the question of suffrage was rightly vested.— 1f the Radicals override State rights, and make voters in 'yiog,atjpgt. of State Consti tutions, we mean that those voters shall know the estimate their pretended triends place upon their merits, - The déceit shall be unmasked. Negroes, a 3 voters, are intended, by the radical .party, to be the hewers of wood and drawers of water for that party forever.. :‘Mark it! -

L rlt(-pndla_l,‘lmq and the Negro. ! i Butler thinks that eventually the col: ored populstion will go for repudiation. f They have sense enougli to see, he argues, | that it is not to their inferests to help pay 34““ cnormous national debt, which they | /bad no hand in creating.” | There is toresight in Ben. He secs | | things in the future “so \_{'s-ll a 8 ne man.” | | His prophecy will be verified.- Give the | negro the ballot, and sure as shooting, | | and a gocd deal sorer than shooting by i.zjnegmcs,.mey will vote, every time and s"glwu_ys, against paying a debt onc half of { which was contracted in the interest of “railroad thieves, stock gamblers and contractors.—Springfield Register. | That is all true. Just as certain as the i sun shall continue to rise and ‘set—just as certain will the negroes, when t*'wy | comie to vote, vote in favor of reépudiating the national debt and the national taxes. The Radical leaders, in their ef forts to coner upon the negro the right | of suffrage, have been taking measuresito wipe out their favorite pets, the governi ment bondholders and manufacturing capitalists. The masses of the negroes, l when they conle to vote, will vote with those who are opposed to high taxes and t the government debt, and, in the event of a revolution; will fighit with and for those who fight against tyranny and oppression in any .and every form. The Radical leaders have purchased an eléphant that they will know not what to do with, and | will be'first to bave occasion to deplore the acts by which they conferred snffrage upon the negro. If the fifteenth amendment shall .be adopted, we shall bave, at the election next spring, her¢ in Quincy, about four hundred negro voters. With their help, a few influential white men will be able to get rid of our city debt much speedier and earlier, than we shall be able to pay it.— Quincy Herald.

; - A Good Joke. The Cincinnati Enguirer's Washington correspondent tells a good thing on colored Senator Revels, which causes us almost. to doubt the confidence of the radicals in his intelligence and loyalty. A few days ago, Wilson, in conversation with Judge Thurman, remarked, by way of a pleasant joke, that as there were no vacant seats on the republican side of the chamber they had concluded to'give Revels a desk next to him (Thurman)., Wil son thought Thurman would enter a serious protest—but he didn’t. He jumped at once to a .practical view of the matter, and replied, “All right. Put him nexs to me, and I'll have him voting with the Democrats on every question, that comes up in less than a week.” Wilson didn't laugh any more—and Revels wasn’t seated next to Thurman. The radicals took ‘himy to their own side, evidently regard‘ing him as a tender lamb of the fold, in need of a little nursing.

; An urchin of six or seven years went into a barber shop in Racine, Wisconsin, and ordered the barber to cut his hair as close as shears would do it. He was -asked if his mother ordered it that way. “No,” said he, “but school cominences next week, and we've got a sehool marm that pulls hair, and I'm bound to fix _her this term, you bet.” : | L et — ~ WE waNT A Bie List.—Our present subscribers would confer a favor on us by t hunting up those who would be likely to ‘ltnke the BANNER and sending us their names, foat we may send them specimen copies.

-———“ = ; For the Banner. . Men’p Vagaries, - Having noticed, in a recent number of the BaN~ER, an arlicle entitled “Men in Love,”in which the modern young l#dy was) spoken of rather slightiogly, it occurred to me that we have but to take a mental review of a majority of the genus homo to fully justify the “‘modern young lady” in guarding her affections.. Of eourse the more limited they are, the more care should be. taken of them. The author of said article appears to have so much éympn}hy for the trials which & man in love has to uhdergo at the hands of the ‘“fair sex,” that ‘ I have a charitable desire to appease his ‘anxiety on their aceount. :Men in love, indeed! | : s ; ‘ | In these days suck a circumstance as see-ing-a man actually in love, is so great a ] curiosity, owing to its rarity, that we wo-“ men may well be pardoned for being imus-‘ ed thereby. Time was (if we listen to the ; stories of other days, told us by our grand- | mothers) when men loved; but now very | few of them ever get beyond an overwhelm- | ing admiration of themselyes. | Sometimes & “lord of ‘oreation” takes it | into his| head that he needs some one to? minister to his comfort, and he compla- | cently strokes his whiskers, gives an n.d-ﬁ! ditional twist to his mustache, and looks< about him. There is no doubt in-his mind | but that every ong of his numerous (?) la- i dy friends would gladly. accept his hand i and—well his heart; so he mentally reviews' | them: One is handsome, has some mon- | ey, but is strong minded and will never do. i Another is a sweet little thing, but she | bas no golden attractiens, so she will not ! do either, for hé has decided that the wo- | man whom %e henors by giving her the | inestimable privilege of bearing his name, g attending to his buttons, &c., must be the possessor of a few thousands, or at least ' have a fair prospect of obtaining a snug | little sum when the ¢old geptleman,” her i respected father, is out of tie way Talk | about the “modern younglady.” It would | be well to consider the “modern youngjf man.’’ FR ]

. Kansas Correspondence. , Torera, Kaxsas, Feb, 23, 1870, Mg, Evitor:—Supposing that yourself and all your subscibers intended emmigrating to Kansas very soon, [ take the liberty to =addrese these few lines to you wih a view to urge your immediate departure from the land of mud and snow, to a region of dry.roads and sunshine. I left ‘lichigan less than two weeks since, wnding through mud to reach the depot: Having seen the sun -but few times dince last October, 1 was hardly prepared for the blue sky and bright sunshine of Kansas. The weather to-day is very mild ; the air is as balmy as an Indiana May—mno overcoat needed. A very light snow-fall occurred here once or Lwioe_ during the winter; but upon the whole, the weather bas been fine.” No rain has fallen for the last sixty days, and the sun has shone brightly almost every dayfor that length of time. So much for the weather—that nev-er-failing topic of convérsation. Topeka is the centre of business enterprises in thig State, as well as the centre of the universe. Llt containg about $lO,OOO inhabitants, and has as active and goahead a population as any fown in the U. 8. Tmmigration is immense. The tide of Hoosiers pouring in upon Kansas soil is perfectly wonderful. There is room enough, however, for all the good ‘Hoosiers,” “Wolverines” and “Buckeys."” Times ‘are lively. The poor man geis a farm here more easily than almost anywhere else; the rich man can find ample opportunity to make 15 to 25 per cent. for the use of his capital. Millions of acres of the finest farming and gra zing lands in the world are being sold to settlers among us. All information on {He subject of lan®, climate, &c., can bsv‘obta'iﬁed by addressing H. H. Wilcox, Land, Agent, Topeka. It would take volumes to tell the whole story of the beauties of Kansag, but time presses and I mustbeg more leisure to speak of crops, stock-raising,: education; &e. Lo Fme, —— 0 : Indiana Statée No mal School. -~ As a matter of interest to a large number of our readers, we publish the following circular from the faculty of the State Normal School: R . To County Eraminers, Superintendents -of Schoolk, and Friends of Popular Education : Your attention is respectfully invited to the following ahnouncement relating to the State Normal School at Terre Haute. ¢ The first session of this school opened January 6, 1870, and will ¢lose on Wednesday, March 80th. , i ! The spring term will commence Thursday, Maich Blst, and continue twelve weeks. : The design of the Neormal School is to furnish.competent teachers for the Public ‘Schools of the State? . CONDITIONS OF ADMISSION. . To gain admission to the Normal School, pupils must be, if females, sixteen years of age,'if males eighteen; and must possess good health, good moral character, and aversge abilities.” If residents of Indiana, they shall pledge themselves that they will,-80 far as it may be practicable, teach in the common schools of the State, ‘a period equal to twice the time spent as pupilsiin the Norma] School. - , They must pass 8 fair examinstion in Reading, Spelling, Geography, and Arith‘metic (to the roots They must write a legible hand and able to analyze and parse simple sentenpes. Non-residents of the State, will be charged a small tuition fees v 2l | i

For the accommodatign of diffevent classes of studeuts a course of ipstruction has been planned which will require three years, two years, or one year to complete it, according to the attainments of the pupil on entering the school. Young persons who design to make teaching their profesgion are advised to. take thd"complete course,”if\ practicable. i Yet, ‘as there are many..;ybnﬁg.u teachers in the State who are seeking better me!!:ods qof instruction, better . prineiples of 'organizing, classifying and »gov’eﬁﬁ_ﬁﬁ%ﬁi‘ echools, and who have not the means to:_’g}efmu_tig__ enses of a yenr's aitendance at the Nofmal School, such are invited fo come and spend a term. It is believed their efficiency as teachers will be perceptibly increased if they can spend a term even in the Normal School

It is intended to afford teachers who ean pass an examination such as will entitle them to a first grade certificate, the advantage of a course of instruction in methods of Primary teaching, and of observation and practice in the Primary school connected with the Normal School. g BOARDING.. Boarding can be had in good families at $4.50't0 $5.60 per week, according to accommodations, fuel and lights included. Young persons wishing to attend the school nest term can address letters of inquiry to W, A. Jones, Terre Haute, Indiana, if they desire more information than is contained in this circular. " Those wishing to attend the school next term are requested to be present at the Normal Bchool building on Thursday moraning, March 31st. ;

A writer in the Notre Dame Schlastic, comparing South Bend to Niles, Says: Its single wooden bridge would not be ereditable even to a dying village like Bertrand. South Bend is able to have, and deserves to have, and needs to bave, and thérefore ought to haye, at least two such bridges as the magnificent jron one that spans the St. Joseph, at Niles.

- Rerußricax CereßrarioN.—The great Negro ‘aud ‘Republican celebration will ‘surely take place one week after ths official announcement of the adoption of the Fifteenth Amendment. It is now supposed that the union between the two elements of the radical party will be g‘ngl and complete. - It is supposed that the march‘ing'in the procession will be done in single ﬁ}f’. This will be done for a double purpose. Ist. To more appropriately establish and acknowledge the absolute equality of the two colors. 2d. As & necessity. The procession will be led by an African, followed by a leading white radioal, and thus the two' colors will alternate. This plag has been fixed-upon to prevent a stepping on heels and to allow the joyful participants in the exercises to walk closer together. It will be a grand day for the radicals, and we hope to see them enjoy it. Seats free to all Demoerats. Come out and see the fun.—Laporte Arguas. RN B IR Goop AvrHoriTY.—‘“Fhe paper established by Schuyler Colfsx,” as.well as quite a number of other radical sheets that exhibit a like amount of political knowledge, has at its mast-head the names of certain candidates for official favors.— Among them may be found, Clerk and Reporter of the Supreme Court. Now, when it is known to évei'y cross-road politician and every novice in political affairs, that the terms of the present incumbents of these two. offices do not expire until 1872, and that no nominations for either of these positions were ever talked of, the political knowledge of the celebrated paper ‘‘established by Schuyler Colfax’ will be duly appreciated. ; el - ol A SiNgurLAR CAse.—We learn that on Monday last, Dr. Dakin removed a piece of ifon, about the gize of a pea, from- the ear of a little girl, the child of one of our citizens. It is supposed that the iron had been there for about five years, at least the ear had discharged freely during that length of time, and the little sufferer had been trested by s number of physicians, but none of them made the dissovery of the trae cause of her sickness. Her hearing was destroyed and one side of her face paralyzed. Thereis now a good prospect of her complete recovery.—Laporte Argus.

Wonan SvrrraaE.—The girls in Wyoming leave the boys comf,rpletely behind them. The former can cast A ballot 'when they are eighteen, while the latter are oblige to wait until they are twenty-ome. It is somewhat singular that when women undertake to get on & level witk men they sometimes get above them.. This, howeyer, is a perversion pf.nature and| rarely occurs. .

Just what Ed is doing while: ghe is gone we are unable to say, but we naturally suppose he is doing something on the same, subject. - i ; ——— e _~' Tne people of Siark county are excited -about building a railroad and are talking of voting a tax for the purpose. " s -l __,__.‘4”."_‘_7“ s . AiCorrespondent;tells the following story: On Saturday night, the: 6th instant, Antonio ——, of ——, attended a ball at Mr. — hotel, and while on the floor was approached by a young lady, with a flower in her hand, who: asked him to smell of it. The young gentleman, ever ready to inhale the fragrance of delicious flowers; immediately applied it to his postrils. In a very short time he retiréd to a corner of the room and soon'fell asleep. Upon being awakened by a friend, he discovered his watch and chain missing. We doubt not but that chloroform was inhaled from the flower, and the strange young lady reliev; ed the young gentleman of his property. — Let those who are fond«of attending balls be careful how Lhey take presents from the daghing belles.— Valparaiso Vidette.

AccipeNT.—When will people learn better'than to undertake /to make a fire burn with kerosene pil or vther explosive, fluids. Yesterday morning, Mr. John Schindler; a young man employed in Kuhn’s flouring mill, while endeavoring to make a a fire burn with Rose Burning Oil, which is said to be non-explosive, was badly burnt in the face and hands. He poured a part of the ‘contents of the can on the fire, and an explosion ensued which not only came very near ending his mortal existence,. but also setting the mill on fire. It does seem strange, in the light of all the accidents which daily happen from such causes, that people will continue in the careless use of explosive oils. —Mishawaka*Enterprise.

Svicipe.—We are informed that & youth of seventeen, named Geo. Davis, ‘living three miles south of Argos, committed suicide on Monday of last week. The young man’s father, Jackson Davis, recently died, leaving $5OO to each of his children.: It is supposed by some that George killed himself because he ¢ould not come into his property until he arrived at his majority. Another story is that the act grew out of grief at his father’s death. e shot himself with a rifle, the ball piercing hia heart and producing instant death.—Rochester Spy. - 5 -~ —— —— 5 It seems thst the rage for Masquerades has touched the ranks of the South Bend juveniles. The Union 'has the following: The juvenile masqerade party at the. Academy’of Music, on Tuesday night, is thought by many to be even more of a successthan the adult ball, last month was. The, youngsters assumed all kinds of fan_tastic shapes, and sustained their different -characters in a pleasing and astonishing manner. The best of order prevailed, and choice music from Elbel’'s enlivened the hours. ' :

Week before last, a German beyond Flint Lake, was killed by the falling of a tree. It appears that he was.chopping the tree down, and not being very much accustomed to that kind of “work, fell it so that the top partislly lodged and the body slipped back on the stump, catching him and cut-’ ting one of his legs clear in two, severing it completely from his body. A companion ran for help, but before it reached him the unfortunate man was dead from bleeding. His name we did not remember.— Valparaiso Videtle. o ; -Mrs. Wolfinbarger, living about three miles from this place, was shot and dangerously wounded last Friday afternoon. The dastardly deed was committed by one of three drunken men, who were passing her house in.a wagon. . The woman looked from the door of her dwelling, ot account of the great noise being made, when the cowardly ruffians, without provocation, -shot her., No arrests have been made.— Plymouth Republican. v ; ‘ et P e + It is.reported that in some portions of the country that sharpérs are now travelingaboat buying butter, eggs, poultry, &c., of farmers and paying for it in well executed counterfeit money.— Wingmac Democrat. : : : - Mallard, teal, wood, fish, and other varieties of ducks, have made their appearance here, in considerable numbers. Wild geese are plentiful, but sportmen say they are s?fy and very difficult to shoot.— Rensseler Union. J et 4 e . New Hampshire elected State officers and members of the Legislature on the Bthinst. There were four tickets in the field, Re£:bliqnn. Democratic, Temperance and Labor Reform. . The State has gome Republican, though with reduced majorities.
