II Would Rather see n Negro Vote
than any - Dutchman."

Passing along Chillicothe street last
Thursday afternoon, our attention was
called to group of some ten or a doz,
en- men, standing in front of a saloon,
nearly opposite the head Of the Mar.
ket House. We noticed that some oi
them seemed to be excited about some
thing. We believe the majority oi
the crowd were foreigners.
On stopping at the store ofa friend,
a few doors further down the street,
we learned from one who had been
present; the cause Of tho excitement.
A Mr.. -, who has been prom
inent Republican in this city FOR some
time past, bad got into a political dis.
cussion with some of the foreigners
aforesaid, when, becoming excited, he
exclaimed that she would rather see
the negroes vote than any Dutch.
man."
What think you of this, my FOREIGN
friends 2 Can you vote with a party
whose leaders are such men as the
aforesaid Hon. Gentleman 2 We think
not. If you want to see the NIGaER
receiving more privileges than your.
selves, vote for the Republicans

The Effects OF LincOIn's Election

The New York Herald sums up the
effects already produced by the Re,
publican triumph in the election of
Lincoln, unher the following heads:
1. The closing of factories and the
discharge Of labor everywherel
3. The depreciation OF stocks, ma.
tiOnal and State, railroad and bank.
8. Depreciation in the value of cot.
ton, wool, AoH, grain and other pro.
duet of the soil.
4. Depreciation in ths valuo Of ne.
groes and real estate.
The Herald estimates the loss al.
ready sustained throughout the coun.
try by this sudden prostration oftraJc
and industry, as not far short Of two
hundred millions OF doIarsI But this
is not all. Other disastrous effects are
speedily to follow:
First. Tho rebound from Europe

Secondly. The stoppage probably

VlCTIMzING A MINIsTER.-A curl.
ous affair recently transpired at In
dianapolis. A respectable clergyman
going home late at night WAS accosted
by two nymphs du pare in company
with a man. The women wanted the
minister to 60 with them, which he
refused, but was forced by the man to
comply. The trio took him to house
kept by one Peter Welch, and there,
under threats, forced him to sign a
note, payable one day after date, for
5000. The note was presented the
follow day by WEIGH, who received
the amount. Finding the minister an
easy victim, they resolved to try their
luck again, when one Of the women
wrote to him for $50 more. The par.
son, thinking that he had already
been victmized sufficiently, consulted
the police, who advised him to send
the woman word to come for the mon.

the cash, he was nabbed by an officer
