the citizens of Miami are too intelligent
not to appreciate it. and too Jealous in the
Republican cause not to sustain it liber-

Charles Summer.

1t is gratifying to know that Charles
Sumner is once again in his seat In the u.
S. Senate. 1t may be that his PROSTATE
condition, and shattered SYSTEM. prevent
him from giving uttcrancc to those words
cf fire which fill his soul. and those noble
sentiments which make the heart glow with
pride and admiration, vet as he sits, silent
and feeble, at his desk, he wields power
which is felt, il not heard, and there is a
melancholy cloquence in that very silence
he is forced to keep which stirs the soul,
and quicl1enst the blood
1t is said that when Mr. Butler saw Mr..
Sumner, upon his return to Washington,
he gazcd at him earnestly, and wipe.l his
eyes sorrowfully. though evidently not out
Of sympathy for Mr.. Sumner so much as
from sorrow at the death Of Mr.. Brooks,
which Mr. Summers presence recalled.
The latest reports concerning Mr.. Sum-
ner's health are very favorable. We learn
that he gains strength daily, and that time
is only needed to effect complete restora-
ton. We sincerely trust that this is cor
rect, and that we may ere while chronicle
his perfect recovery; for we need such vol
ces rs his. The great contest between
Slave labor and Free labor is being fought,
and we want all the champions of Freedom
to stand forth, and lead on their willing
troops. ca
Mr.. Sumner is scholar, an orator and
reformer. He is ever to be found on the
side of justice and humanity. With mag
ic and matches eloquence he pleads for the
oppressed Of every color aud every cline.
Already has he built a monument which
the elements cannot destroy, and carved
his name high on the rugged pesk of3sme.

Indiana Legislature.

The Legislature Of this State adjourned, ssse das,
5 about O'Clock, on Sunday morning last. without
passing the Revenue, Appropriation, Appraisement
Or Temperance Bills. For this deplorable state Of
Airs the Black Democratic Senators clearly
responsible. Rather than permit the Miller and
Shryock contested case to be decided by direct
vote, they produced the abose result They dec'ar
el several days previous that rather than permit the
majority to rule in this case, they would block egis-
latios let the result be what i; might. They kept
their word. The people can therefore see that the
sc,unlrels are determined TO rxin If they cannot
rule the State. The Repubi an Senators did right

jority must be stopped letit cost what it may; or
otherwise our republican institutions win not be
worth contendng for. Nothing is ever gained by
welding to the exactons Of the hishwayman, except
the poor boon of life; the people expect to
gain any thing by yielding to the Negocratic lead

Chicago for Freedom!



The Municipal election of Chicago,
which took place on the Sd inst, resulted
gloriously. The Republican cause is tri-
unphant. Long John Wentworth, Re-
publican, is elected Mayor. and the whole
Republican ticket, by majorities ranging
from 1000 to 1887. 4 majority Of the
Council Is Republican. There was con-
siderable rioting by the Irish III some of the
Wards, and many illegal votes cast for the
Negrocratic side, but It all did no good, or
rather no harm. The Irish set upon and
killed one German, Republican. and bru-
tally beat several others, without any cause
whatever. other than for voting the Repub-
'iican ticket Is not things coming to a
pretty pass. when such things are tolerated
in land that boasts of being free2 These
gentry must be taught better maGners.
The Fremont Club of Chicago met on
the 4th, and raised $500 for the widow Of
George Seifert, the German Republican
whom the Irish killed. His funeral was
attended by 10 900 people. Notwithstanding
the snow-storm that was raging.
