" LamascO "-Why so Named :?

We have frequently heard the ques-
ton asked, why the lower portion of
our city, now embraced in the corpo-
rate limits of Evansville, was called
LAMAsCo." The facts are these, as
derived from one of the original pro-
prietors:
The City of Lamasco was laid
out in 1887. The Plat was recorded
in the Recorders office, September
Is, 1887. The original proprletors
were JOHN LAW. WILLIAM III. LAW,
JAMES B. MACCALL, and LUcIUs III.
ScoTT. After the town had been laid
out, and plated, the proprietors met
for the purpose of giving it name;
after long discussion the parties
were unable to agree on any. The
difficulty, however, was solved by
gentleman who had been present, but
had no interest in the property.
" Why not call it LAMAsco, = said he.
The question was asked, why give
it that name?" For the reason"
said he. +" that the name is derived
from the first two letters of the sur
names of three of the proprietors, and
the three first letters Of the name
of the fourth Thus, La " for LAW,
$ Ma - for MAcCALL, and 8 SEQ" for
SCoTT," Hence the name LAMAseO."
After the Incorporation and annex
alton of Lamasco with Evansville, all
that portion of the property belonging
to the original proprietors Of Lamas-
co, below Pigeon Greek, was named
{" INDEPENDENCE y by the citizens re-
siding there, and still retains its
name, and probab bly, will. (!

So far as the Governorship is con-
cerned the people hereabouts are not
for Colonel Cumback, nor for any one
else, as opposed to Governor Baker.
We say now what we have before re-
iterated, that if Colonel Cumback is
the nominee of the Union Conycn-
ton next February. we can and will
support him with all our might, and
we believe such to be the feeling all
over this country, and those sur
rounding US; but while this is true,
it is the general feeling that Governor
Baker is entitled to the nomination
at the hands of the party, and it is
the firm determination of the people
in this section, at least, to stand by
him to the end, no matter who may
be before that convention seeking TO
be the standard bearer of the Union
party in Indiana in the coming con-
test ~

The Democratic members of the
City Council last night made serious
effort to have the Colored School re-
moved to Independence, beyond the
city limits. The Council has no more
authority to move it to that locality
than it has to transfer it to Africa or
any other part Of the earth Moreover,
if it is, as these astute Father" claim,
a nuisance, would it be any the less
such to the denizens of Independ-
ence?
1t is better to meet the issue
squarely and settle the question
whether. the colored people shall be
educated or grow up in ignorance and
vice-whether they shall be made in
telligent and orderly members of the
community, or be deprived of all in
tellectual and moral training and
grow up to be the eutcasts of society,
and candidates for our jails and peni-
tentiaries. We have, in this city, a
question raised without parallel in
any free and intelligent community.
The Democratic members of the City
Council have, in effect, presented the
question whether our resident negro
population shall have the poor privil-
ege of educating their own children
at their own expense We know that
it is alleged that the school has been
disorderly and disturbance to the
neighborhood. If such is the case
the Council has the power, and ought
to correct the evil thus far; but we
say it would be barbarous and dis
graceful to drive them out of the city.
We predict that the man, who for
base party purposes, are thrusting this
question upon the Council, will. before
twelve months pass by, be heartily
ashamed of their conduct.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A NAN
AND GENERAL COELEX,

AT a Republican meeting in Cincinnati
on Thursday night, General Hayes, be-
ing called upon for a speech, in the
course Of his remarks We find the follow
ing compliment to Judge Thurman:
"One Of the agreeable facts in cOnnsc-
tiOn with this contest is what has trans
pired in the debates between the distin-
guished gentleman who was my CON.
petitor and myself. It has always been
my desire in all political contests, so to
talk and so to act as to give no Just cause
of ofense to any reasonable adversary.
And I am proud to know by the public
speeches Of Judge Thurman, that he
has felt toward me, during this canvass,
as a man feels toward a fair and candid
adversary; and may say to you that
that Is my feeling toward him. I feel
that, whatever mistakes he has made in
public life, in his conduct toward me be
has behaved like a gentleman"
While tbs above does credit to the
head and heart Of General Hayes, it is
in striking contrast to the bitter, malig-
nant attacks upon the Democratic can
didate and upon his family by the les
ser lights of the party of which General
Hayes was the standard bearer. The
Journal of this city, in this crusade, led
off in slanderOus charges which its edi-
tor knew to be false, and which the col
umns of that paper stamped as SUCH
No charge was too base, none too malig-
nant for that sheet to print against the
Democratic nominee, whose gentlemanly
bearing its own candidate goes out of bis
way to indorse and to cOmmend.-States-
Ennn.
