NEGRoTs.-The Constitution OF the State
of Indiana. adopted in 1881, contains the
following sections:
mo negro or mulatto shall come into, or
settle 10 the State after the adoption of this
Constitution.
"All contracts made with any negro or
mulatto coming into the State contrary to
the provisions OF the foregoing section. shall
be void and any person who shall employ
such negro or mulatto, or otherwise ehcour
Gge him TO remain in the State, shall he
fined in any sum not less thnn $40, nor
more than $500"
1t follows that titles Of negroes 10 p 'oper-
ty are good for nothing. The above sec
tiops were adopted by the people of this
State by about 90 900 mnj 'rity.
How are they respected? The Southern
negroes are pouring in here, forcing our
white Iaborers TO wander the streets in
search of employment. and at the sametime
they are rurch nsing real estate with money
they stole before leaving the South, Thus In.

From the New York Observer

We have had in use for months past one OF
Vests Pumps, which has given us more sat-
isfaction as force and lifting pump than any
we have ever used. 1t is one of great power,
and well adapted for ships decks, mines. fac
tories, green houses, graperies, &c., &c. The
Mining Chronicle and Railway Journal SAYS:
1t is recommended for its extreme simplicity
oil construction, srOat strength, and conse-
auent durability and cheapness of repair
There is no stuffing box-the pressure being
held ny cup packing, like that upon the
working piston, working in cylinder, fitted
for the purpose within the upper air chamber
which we think a great improvement, as stufiing
is so liable to be deranged, and leak under
strong pressure, to say nothing of the loss BY
friction incident thereto. 1t has also two air
chambers: thus the action Of the valve is
cushioned upon both sides by air-prt venting
water-hammer and vacuum .thump. The valves
are very accessible, and simply and cheaply
repaired. They work much easier than any
pump we have eyer seen; the inch cylinder
being worked by children in wells 100 feet
deep, and as they are extremely cheap as well
as simple and strong, we, freely recommend
them.
