WILL THEY SUBMIT? | 7 The Radicals of 'Marion county beld"their convention forthe final nomination . of ‘candidates for the various county offi ces on Suturday last. At the primary clection the Saturday previous, the ne groes were nsed to defeat the aspirations f the several Germans who sought hominations at the hands of the radical purty. 1t was thought that the convention :vouldf repair the injustice done the German ele’ - ‘ment by giv‘ing them at Qéast one candi: date on the ticket, but as we now per‘cci_i'e} from the published progccedings, this single act of justice was denied, The following, which we elip from thel Journal, tells the story : : Herman Lieber presented the following resolution : ‘ ; .

"Resolved, That it is the sense of thjs con- | - vention, that the German Republiean ele- l ment.of this city and county are entitled to | at [éast one representative on the qjﬂunty j ticket. | 1 .+ Mr. Licber addressed the Convention ‘ briefly in support of his motion, i:tyiug‘l that when he was appointed a delegate to/] the Convention he did not know| what | would be the result of the prinmr} elec. | tion, or he would not have been here. At that election every German had bc}%u de | feated because they were Germang, the | vote showing that the Germans only vot- | cd for, theng. ™ The great questions of the } abolition of slavery and univcrsai suff- | rage are settled ; and now the Germars | cannot be held in the party unlesy they | have justice done them. § ! Mr. Lieber's resolution was taan op, | and supported by E«quire Charies Coulon, | and opposed by Dr. Wishard, of Perry township. On motion of the laxttc.Lr, the l resolution was indefinitely postponed by | - a-vote of 48 to ,12! the vote beiug‘tnkcn i by townships. b ST | That no little. indignation . prevails among the German Republicans of Indianapolis over their shabby trenJ!tmcnt, | may be taken for granted, and that the i Leaders are apprehensive of scr.inu).-;&tmu- | ble is clearly discernible inf the Jo:‘urnr(l‘s ‘ lgading editorial on the results of the con - vention.

By 4 Dbold, " manfu éourse, the German Republicans of Ifnd(auapnl_is will be enabled to demonstrate to the radical leaders that even the cnnsnlid:}ted negro vote will not save them from ‘merited defeat - when disregarding the just claims of a formidable and intel- . ligent/constituency. ‘ : : ‘ .

Just as the Radicals sneered at the assertion of the (fcﬁ)fégcratic press, a tew years ago, that the p’éi'ty'iu power QVUul«l force negro suffrage upon the’bnﬁntry,'ﬁii .t they now speak lightly of ihe ‘clmrgc that nothing is being left undone to force negro equality, in & social point, oM the peé” ple. Indecent and. revolting as these ef forts would appear, it no longer remains a 4 matter of A6ubt that this hauseons theory 1s to-receive practical significance,— lin the Southern, States; where syorthless carpet-baggers and insolent negroes domineer over intelligent, respectable citizens, legislative ‘enactments are being intro duced to enforce social equality. Propri etors of hotels, railroad companies, thea tres, &c, are probibited, vnder penalty. from a just exercise of indiviaual authori ty over their own pm‘)érty. It Hecomes a penal offense to refuse a negro admission to the most elegant chamber in the hotel; to the most comfortable seat in the rail road car, ia the midst of refined ladics and gentlemen; to front seats in the the atre,—ln short, to preseribe rules of any kind that protect the ‘Caucacisn from inhaling the offensive odor of the African, cither whilst pursuing a journey or in ‘seeking relief from the cares of life by visiting plac s of public atnusemerit.

No sound argument can be advanced in justification of this campulsory mingling of the races; its vnt'(t)r"cwment is re-, vulsive to every instinet (of refined hu: manity, nbxmxin‘ns to the laws of nature, and an oatrage on the people. No gov crnment has a right to regulate society so as to compel association with au"h)@r_tmr‘ race. Were we to admitsuch a right, it would be difficult to establich a 'lunit| to these innovations on the l'ights of individuats, and 'ere long invasions of the ' houschold would be & common oceurrence | under the shadow of legal authority. f It may appmn‘. st'mnge that dhe mon_i who shape the policy of the party in pow- 1 er should resort to such means to f}vroei the distasteful theory of negro equajity | on theirown kinsmen. Te us the object of this degrading undertaking scems en l »tirel’y clear, Having lost the respect and | confidence of the \Vhitépnuplc, these vile demngogues geek to gain tivoer &mong an inferior rice by tickling the vanity of the African, and offering as & reward for his | vote the boon of absolute equality \{vi_th, | if not superiority over, the whites. | We do not charge that aZI Republicansare en ‘ gaged in this plot for the destruction of ‘the barriers which the Almighty himself erected between the two races, but unfor ‘ tunately for the country, the workings of the reconstruction Jaws have thrust fu-to-ihe legislative halls of the country.a large number of unprincipled ercatures who owe their official positions to that inferior element, and whose only Lope of continuance in office tests upon the main t(fnil.p(:e ct 'n('glri"o supremacy. fl‘xg rivet the hegro element: of the South ito the radical organization, and to fitl the gwhites with utter disgust, is obviously the inten tiun of these assaults upon the fundamen: tal principles of society. We may be met with the assertion that the republican party of the country will not adopt-these extreme measures, but do past events furnish a guarantee for these assurances?— Surely not. With a subscrviency that seeks a parallel in the history of any po litical organization, republican legislators yielded their convictions tothe demands of that climim'«}us crew, 'hezided_ by Sumner & Co., and gave their votes for the et act"ment of laws that their inner hearts must ‘have cogxdemued.‘ as calamitous in their beariag, and mischievous in their ténden‘cy. The hybrid Legislatures of the Sonth. have mostly complied with the demands of the adveeates of mongrelism, and Congress basalmost invariably pvrsu?d a like | bq’iu'rsc in the exercise of assumed or dele- | gated authority. - That these are not mere speculations, it is. only necessary for the observer of passing events to note the facts as daily ‘recorded in the public journals. We 1 merely call attention to this subject that '-nn one may overlook the magnitude of the movement forthe subversion of Amer ican society and the establishment of debased m{mgrcljsin. - | . it - | S Intelligent Voters. The following items, which we clip from tlje Indianapolis Sentinel, will éonvey a correct idea‘of the intelligen:t( wan ner in which some of the darkies exercised _the right of suaffrage at the radical primary election in Marion county on the 19th inst.» ; :

A saddle colored moke presented him self in the vicinity: of the Court House ‘while the primary election was in progress on Saturday, and asked if that was “de place whar you, git yer vote?’ = Abolt two hundred and eleven electioneering individuals stepped forth with tickets, and thecoon, obtaining a full-length onegstuck it in his pocket and walked off, bappy in the belief that he bad “got a vote.” i A highly intélligent c¢oon in search of a place to deposit his ballot on Saturday, at'thie primary election, was directed by some fun-loving individuals; to a letterbox suspended to a lamp post, into which he gently dropped . bis ticket and struck for Bucktown forthwith. *Anund the colored troops fit nobly.” :

CoNGRESSIONAL.—The Warsaw. Union: says that if the opponents of the present h representative In Congress “think they ' are going to choke off the tenacious Billy Williams from pressing his claims for a rennmination, at the next Radical Congressional Convention, they are simply ' mistaken, that’s all. Billy will be a can didate and that with a fair prospect of being nominated. Billy’s career has been constantly in favor of high taxes and tariffs, but notwithétmiding this, he stands a good show and has the inside track for ‘ renomination. General Hascall intimates among his friends that he is opposed toa protective, and in favor of a tariff for revenuc only. It would be a happy thing for the country if the Republican party of this section of country, would nominate men of Western principles, who possessed the- honesty and cnmaze to carry them out when elected. But we little ‘ hope for sach a reformation.” ; ‘ ety A~ W — e e et ALLEN HoOSTETTER, Joseph E.

‘A vacancy existed recently in the collectorship of the Frankfort (Kentucky) District, ocasioned by the death of Col. ‘Kelly. A candidate for this position was pregented in the pcﬁon of Col. Hodges, the veteran cditor of the Commonuwealth,, wbout the only repablican paper of any consequence in that State. He bad re eommendations from every prominert Republican in Kentucky, the republican members of the Legislature, district committees, &e. -He proceeded to Washington, and enlisted distingaished gentlemen in the advocacy of his appeintment.— Crippled in fortune by the war, and by expenses in ranning the Commonwealth during the wgi', and financial embarrass. ments clogging bis actidn, no one doubted that he would be promptly appointed. Appearing at the White House, Colonel Hodges met Dent, the Brigadier .brother-in-law who is the custodian of the card W;a.e‘lo(-t, who told him the President was engaged. ;j‘nfl he had better come back on Monday, when be couldsee him, Colo nel B. returned on Monday, and still did not | get admission to Grant. = Zhere ap peared to be a deliberate irvangement to pré‘vend himy getting an audience at that time.

The Cincinnati Cominercial concludes the story.in the following language:: ° - There is no Union man in Kentucky who has been of gre.*er service than Col ' onel H(_ud!fus. He has fought & long and hard battle, and'made sacrifices that give him the highest esteem of all true men who know im. If any one has claims upon the 'Republican party or the President, he has: Mr. Bowman would never have been dreamed of tor the office he has received if he had not been the broth-er-in law of a cabinet officer.

Ste vensun for Governor, and for Beck, Democrat, for Congress. Still, as he voted for | Grant, he isin his own county: called a Republican. This blue-graks ‘woods pasture apprintment, one of the clearest cas | es yet of brother in-law upon the brain of | the Administration, was denounced in| Washington by leading: Republicans as shameful. - The Democrats of Kentucky laugh at it as a good joke, and . Republi/ cins are humilinted by this last and crown ! ing outrage. They were disgusted long ago, y ; : ] ' )~ —— | The Experigent.’ X - The Republicaus of Marion county held their primary election for the nomination of candidates on Saturday, the 19th inst. All.thiv Indianapolis papers, republican and demoeratic, agree that it was a maost disgraceful affair. The negroes, for the first time in the history of Indiana poli tics, were permitted to vote. - The, Sends nel says that never'in the history of loeal politics was there ever so much disgrace fal stock jobbing and so many “repeaters”. cast as on that occasion. The, celebrated exploit of the Massachusetts. regiment:in 1864, was nothing in comparison to that Saturday’s work. There was a great ri valry among candidates for the negro vote, and the “colored brother” enlarged on his privilege and voted as often as requested. To such an extent was thissystem of fraud .carried an: that about three thousand more votes were deposited than there are republican voters in that county. The vhole performance was:a disgraceful sham, and the result is that a number of Republicans :were so disgusted with the. conduct displeyed at the polls that they . 3 openly declared they would not support a ticket nominated in such a way. The abstract question of negro suffrage was not half so distasteful as is the actual fact. Giving the “nigger” the ‘privilege of vot ing, and voting with him, are two things, one was theory—the other practice that don’t go down with -the conservative element{gf the Tadical party. As it was at Indianapolis so will it be everywhere.— - The negro vote will be purchased by un - 9 L -‘ scrupulous politicians and the poor devil ~will be badgered about as any other pur--chaseable commodity, and finally go into -the hands of the highest bidder. .

Deserting the Sinking Ship. 4 We have heard some pretty strang ex pressigps of disgust on the part of a number of white Radicals, hereabouts, in ref erence to the fact that the leaders of their party have at last landed it broadside on the ‘wegro suffrage question. We have even heard one of them quoting “honest old Abe,” from onejof his speeches in his celebrated canvass fvith Mr. Douglas, as against negro suffrage, and as he was the only man who was/ever able to infuse suf ficient vitality intg Republicanism to enable it to achieve success, he believed that his advice ought| to be fullowed, . Our Radical friend siys that the' leaders of the party have compelled their followers to give the lie to Mr. Lincoln’s declara tion; a. declaration .that be, in his life ime, gave no evidence of abandoning.— S‘[‘his is more than our friend can stand, and he feéls disposed to desert .the ship and its mottled crew.

& “Trespay, March 22.—The Senate discussed all day the report of the Judiciary r Committee rejecting Gen. Ames as Senator from Mississippi. Senator Conkling made an elaborate legal argument in favor of the report. It is evident, however, from the course of the debate, that a large majority of the Rudical Senators will vote ‘to admit Ames, so as to secure his yote against the Bingham. amendment to the Georgia bill, hadkt

_The session of the House was oceupied . with the consideration of two bills; the Satro Tunnel job, and the anti-Poligamy bill. During the discussion of the latter Mr. Ward (Rad.) of New York, made a sharp speech against the Mormons. - A motion to lay the bill on the table was rejected by a vote of 40 to 121, most of the Democrats voting in the affirmative. Mr. Cox, of New York, explained that the Democrats: did not intend to indorse _paligamy by their vote, but to protest sgainst measures of persecut.i(:m‘, which always defeated their object. Mr. Hooper, the- Mormon delegate from Utah, was speaking against the bill'when the House adjourned. | ey WeDNESDAY, March 23.—1 n the Senate the case of General Ames, the military commander in Mississippi who applies. for admission to the Senate, was debated nearly the entire session. Mr. Carpenter, of Wisconsin, made a speech ‘in defence “of the report of the committée, in which hie rebuked his party associates for their zeal in trampling the Constitution under foot. IHis speech was really a good Dem: Ocratic speech, and indicates where the elogaent Senztor is drifting. Mr. Davis, of Kentucky, also delivered a forcible argument against Ames. = : ~ In the House, the discussion on the bill to prohibit poligamy in Utah was resumed and Mr. Hooper, the Mormon deegate, \concluded 'his remarks. He claimed that ‘poligamy was taiught by the greatest of ‘all law-givers, and that monogamy origi- | nated among the Pagan nations.

- THURsDAY, Maßrcm 24. — The Senate was in executive session all day upon the San Domingo treaty. Mr. Sumnrer made a four hour’s speech against annexation The success of President Grant's efforts to force the ratification of the treaty is in great doubt. Both sides are confident, but it is believed that the House will be almost unanimous against making the ne'jpssa:ry appropriations, and thus the BaezGrant job will fall through, The San Domingo lobby in Washington is influential and loaded down with money, and has the {ree run of the White House.

In the House, Mr. Logan, from the Committee on Military Affairs, made a generil report on the sale of cadetships, rg commending the dismissal of General Schoepf from the Patent Office and the court martialing of Commodore Ui\shur for trading ‘and buying . cadetships, and introducing a bill making requisite in a cadet a two years’ residence in the district from whence he is appointed. The bill, amended so ‘as to make the residence. one year instead of two, together with t e resolutions, was passed, and the com‘mittee was discharged. : 5 " Fripay, Marcr 25. — Congressional proceedings to day were without marked importance. Mr. Wilson introduced the Army bill in the Senate. It reduces the ‘number of officers and ‘enlisted men, and fixes the army at twenty-five thousand wmen, . Mr. Sherman introduced a joint resolution appropriating $lOO,OOO to the Hall expedition in search of the North Pole. The House of Reptesentatives devoted the day in committee to the Tariff bill.

It takes the . Y. World to do things up in exquisite style.

FROM WASHINGTON. | The Cuban question has at last assumed a poritive shape in Congress.— The House Committee on Foreign Af fairs have agreed, by a vote of 8 to 1, to report in favor of authorizing and instructing the President to maintain neutrality “in the contest now existing between the people of Caba and government of the Kingdom of Spain” This is virtually recognizing the beligerency of the Cuban insurgents. President Grant in conversation with -Senators stated his purpose, as soon as Texas shall be admitted, to send a message to Congress recommending a general amnesty. ' e ‘The present House ot Representatives is composed of two hundred mem bers, of which number one hundred and twenty-nine are lawyers, fifteen are farmers, eight are manufacturers, six are in general business, four are editors, three are clergymen, two are physicians, two are real estate agents, two are railroad men, one is a lumberman, ove is a coal operator, one isa printer, one is a journalist, eight are bankers, ten are merchants, and seven no occupation stated. Of the three clegymen enumerated, one, Whittemore, of South Carolina, was expelled for selling the cadetship of his Disfrict.

- Speaker Perkins, of the Tennessee House of Assembly, appeared before the Reconstruction Committee and made another statement regarding affairs in that State. He gave a broad denial of the stories of outrages; declared that Tennessee was us peaceable as Massachusetts ; that most of the specific allegations of crime made by thie Radical delegations occurred under the administration of Governor Brownlow, and for which that of Governor Senter was not responsible. San Domingo correspondents write some facts about the annexation election in that country that are valuable in connection with the efforts made by President Grant to force the treaty up on the Senate. The vote in favor ‘ annexation is large, but the government has apparently facilitated ballotbox stuffing by its agents. Thereis a strong feeling against Baez and annexation in St. Domingo City, in spité of the reported vote in favor of the scheme. A commissioner to carry the returns to Washington is about te gail in an United States naval vessel. -

" Treasurer Spinner reports - that about three hundred dollars in counterfeit currency. is received daily at:the Treasury Department. These counterfeits have to be thrown out by lady counters emplc;‘yed for the purpose.— A regulation of the Department requirea that, for every counterfeit note passed over, an equal amount shall be deducted from the pay of the person counting it, but such instances are very rare, the ladies seldom fuillng to detect splirious notes at a glance. The President, in a conversation with Representative Platt, of Virginia, indorsed the conduct of General Canby in interfering with his military in the internal domestic affairs of Richmond without the solicitation or permission of Governor Walker. This identifies Grant with the ultra Radicals, and their policy of recognizing the military power as Buperior to,the civil in the United States. i

Considerable excitement was exhibited at the National theatre on Monday night over the admission to the private boxes ot the theatre of four ocolored persons, who occupied the same during the performance. No adverse demonstration was made. It is the first incident of the kind that has occurred here. s

. The application made by the governor of Tennessee to the president: for troopss to suppress the alleged disorders in that state, has been refused, on the ground that the fourth article of the constitution prohibits the call for troops when the legislature can be convened in cases of invasion or domestic insurrection. It is maintained that the Tennessee legi.lature can be convened if necessary, and that, therefore, there is no legal ground for the interference of the government. It is said that the committee on ways and means have determined to'amend the report on.the Funding Bill, so as to fix a uniform rate of four and a half per cent, interest. : ; e — The Radical Plot Against Tennessee, The World’s Washington correspondent writes that the Secretary of Tennessee, Fletcher by name, who is inherited by the Senter Administration from Brownlow’s reign, appeared before the Reconstruction Committee on Thursday, and commenced awraddress. which he proposed to finish on Saturday, in favor of Congressional interference in Tennessee ; but, by Fletcher’s own showing thus far, it appears that most of the outrages were committed nearly a year ago, thus indicating a more peaceable state of affairs of late. He said that some of the most bitter persecutors of the Radicals, or the “trooly loil,” 'were Union soldiers who had settled in the State since the war; and he added, while looking very innocently right into the perturbed face of Ben Batler, (]:]hairmsm of the commitl:ee. that those who suddenly changed their politice, or b'oqak\.mo aP_o‘eymt.oo (§o bho oxpressed it), weie at once imbued with the spirit of persecution.

Speech by Mr. Voorhees om the Politi.enl Issues in Indiana. - it Mr. Voorhees intends to return home from Washington City in a few days, and he will take the opportunity to address the people of this city in reply to Governor Morton’s 22d of February speech, and on the political issues generally, in Indiana. An impression has gone abroad that Mr. Voorhees would assail the private character of Mr. Morton. He has never entertained an{ such purpgse. A review of the vulnerable political record of Mr.-Mor-ton and his slanders and misrepresentations of the democratic party affords an ample field of legitimate criticism, and if handled as Mr. Voorhees can, 1t will bea ventilation of inconsistency, hypocriey, imposture, egotiem, fraud, humbuggery, and demagoguery that the subject justly merits. Morton has been allowed to make his. mend:cious areaults upon his political opponents ‘too often, and too long, and it is time that the vulnerable record of the unpriucipled charlatan should be ex‘fosed and let the people have a <just idea of the character oF the man who has taken advantage of circumstances, position and the public trusts confided to him, and abused them too, to advance his J)ersonal schemes -and gratify his inordinate and unhallowed ambitioh. -

Due notice will be given of the time | that Mr. Voorhees will address the people, and his recognized ability and eloquence, with the interest that attaches to the discussion of the great political = issues that now occupy the public mind;, will attract an assemblage of all parties to hear him that, in point of numbers, high character and intelligence, will excel any other that has ever been held in this city.—lndianapolis Sentinel. ’ Demoecratie Victories and the Fall in ‘} Gold. P | It is a significant fact, which of course has not escaped the attention of observing men, that the recent fall in gold followed closely upon and was ac--companied by the great democratic victories and gains at the gpring elections in this and other states. One: does ot require to be much of a phil-! osopher to see the close relation of cause and effect here. When the two destructive extremes—the radicals of ‘the North and fire eaters of the south, conspired to bring on the late civil war ‘and deluge the country in blood, and - misery, and debt, coin was the stand-. -ard of values and a dollar meaunt a'dollar in. good old democratic hard cur- . rency. As they succeeded in initiating the rebellion, suspension came, and I values have rince been depreciated—fluctuating as the destructive elements } advanced in this or that direction towards their common ends, a revolutionl ized Union and Government. .The fire eaters lost the fight, and the radicals have had full sway for five years—'a period longer than that of the war—since the last gun was fired. It is on-. ly, however, as radicalism wanes and the democracy once more march steadily onward to power, that the countryreturns to a specie basis. These are ’ facts, and are stubborn things.—Ex. - ; San Domingo. L The annexation of San Domingo by purchase is an administration measure. The President is personally soliciting the senate, or rather senators, to ratify the purchase.. A heavy debs is hang: ing over San Domingo, and if the Uni. ted States annexes that government and its domain, it must take the incumbrance with it, whatever they may ha. There ia a peapositien o ity vhao 'amount to be paid on“the San Domin'ican debt to a million- and a half, but if we take that notion we must do so with all the indebtedness she is liable for. No wonder that the holders of San Domingoindebtedness are using every influence they can control to attach it to the United States, for it will be a speculation iu which they ecan invest handsomely. It has not yet been ‘developed whether Grant has any pe: cuniary interest in the enterprise, but there. is a strong suspicion that he has, from the effort he is making to perfect the purchase. | It is hardly sapposable that he would engage in buttonholing and badgering senators, unless it was prompted by his avaiice and with the hope of gratifying it. - .~

Some of the. radical papers have been rejoicing over the fact that the new Mississippi senator, Mr. Revels, occupied the seat once filled by Jeffergon E’)avis. "Since Revels’ senatorial speech, these radical editors have renewed their rejoicing. . Bl Well, gentlemen, Mr. Revels may be a great improvement upon Jeff. Davis ; and there are some other changes which time and radicil progress have made that also may be classed a 3 improvements, but we fail to see things in that light. For instance, Charles Sumner occupies a seat once filled by Daniel Webster; Chas. D. Drake, of Missouri, sits in the place of Thomas H. Benton ; Zach. Chandler, of Michigan, is the successor of -Lewis Cass; a carpet bag scallawag in South Carolina, named Frederick A. Sawyer, sits in the seat of John C.
