A DEMOCRATIC JOKE.

and a Negro OratOF-The Black

There has been, and still is, a
muddle among the students at the
State University at BLOOMINGTON. in
which much feeling has been develop.
ed, and a large amount of skull
Nduggery carried on. Now, all this
muddle is about a very small mat
ter, to-wit: Who shall deliver the
Annual Address at the close Of the
collegiate year," much ado about
nothing most decidedly.
But tte s. Sophs, and . Juns," you
Know, must have at least one stun
ming sensation annually. aud 30 it
falls in the way this year of grace
that the Annual address is the
casus bel6. 1t happens thusly, and
the status is as follows:
The Republican students OF the
University, who are considerably in
the majority, elected Bishop Simpson,
of the Methodist Episcopal Church,
to deliver the Annual Address. The
candidate run against the Bishop was
Hon. d. w. Voorhees,, the Demo-
cratic students voting for him.
The result of the choice was by no
means satisfactory, and warmly waxed
the defeated students of the Demo-
cratic persuasion. An alternate was
to be chosen, who, in the event that
Bishop Simpson could not attend. was
to deliver the address in his stead
and so, to get even with, and retail
ate upon, the Republican students,
the Democratic students nominated
Fred. Douglas, the celebrated negro
orator.
This nomination struck a number
of the Republican students as one
eminently fit to be made. and so they
voted for Frederick the Black, and so
did all the Democratic students, and
after the vote was counted behold
the man and brother was elected
by a large majority, greatly to the dis
gust of a number of students and
several of the Faculty.
1t now transpires that Bishop
Simpson will not be able to attend
the Commencement exercises Of the
University, and consequently Freder-
lex Douglass, the colOred orator, de-
livers the address. The tribulation
of the Democratic studentsis intense
their disgust is superlatively intense

dlefOn.

The Madison Courier thus presents
a Presidential question. which should
receive the attention Of the Western
Democracy:
The New York Leader objects to
Mr.. Pendleton as the Democratic can
didate for President, because he ia
vors paying the 20s in green backs,
and urges Mr.. Hendricks as the can
didate for Vice President. But by
what course of reasoning it comes to
this conclusion we are unable to see,
unless Mr.. Hendricks is a gold ,
man in New York, and greenback ,
IN Indiana. We are inclined to the
belief, however, that Hendricks is a
man after the Leader's own heart, as
he is a heavy stakeholder in one of
the indianapolis National Banks, and
will be very apt to follow the course
dictated to him by the Wall Street
Democratic brokers, regardless of his
pledge to the Democratic Convention
on the 9Th Of January" s-IIf<t

Information Wanted.

The Evansville Courier was highly
indignant that we should question the
propriety of the late demonstrations
over the remains of the rebel JOHN
MORGAN. 1t IS generally understood
that BENEDICT ARNOLD is not emit
tied to much sympathy or esteem from
the people of this country, and yet he
was only a traitor to his country, and
not a more active or relentless enc
than JOHN MORGAN IF it is not at
the shrine of treason that the Courier
pays homage, but only its high admir-
alton for the bravery of the soldier,
why is not ARNOLD entitled to equal
consideration at its hands? Few men
in history have shown more intrepid
daring or greater bravery on the bat
le-feld than ARNOLD; certainly not
MORGAN, the guerrilla, who always
gained his successes by fast riding, by
surprise and the force Of numbers.
Will the Courier enlighten US as to
the difference between the traitor
ARNOLD and the traitor MORGAN?

The Presidential Campaign of 1868
promises to be one of the most inter-
esting and exciting in the history Of
the country. The issues to be dis
cussed and determined by the people
are Of the greatest moment to the
peace and prosperity of the Nation.
It is highly important that the voters
be properly informed and thoroughly
posted on the political situation. The
most effective way to accomplish this
is to place in their hands sound and
reliable Republican newspaper.
In order to enable the active Union
men of Southern Indiana and Illinois
and Western Kentucky to secure for
the WEEKLY JOURNAL a wide
circulation in their respective neigh
bOrhoods, we have placed the terms

Johnson Senators .

The recent election in Wisconsin,
in which the Republicans have
made a handsome gain over last
year, is the last warning to Sena-
tor DOOLITTLE to get ready to fol-
low his brother lJonsonian, Sena-
tor Dixon, to the shades of private
life. Both of these men, had they
remained true to their professions,
would have been gladly continued in
the Senate, and might have been
among the most useful members of
that body. But in an evil hour they
listened to temptations and fell, prob
ably never to rise again. Even had
the Democrats carried the Connect
cut Legislature, they would have su-
perseded Dixon with ENGLIsH-it be
ing the general Democratic policy to
use traitors rather than to reward
them. In fact the fates do not seem
to be favorable to the JOHNSON Sena-
tors as a body. Besides the two we
have mentioned, Senator JOHNSON, Of
Maryland, has been set aside for a man
of narrower copperhead type.

The new cOlored school house at
Carthage, DeKalb County, was burned
down about midnight, last Sunday
night, by the Ku Klux. The house
was a good one, and cost over 81 900,
$3.50 Of which was paid by the colored

A few days before the burning Of
the school house, Mr.. Stanley, the

The telegraph informs us that the
gigantic war waged between the New
York Central and Erie Railroads, on
the extension of the broad gauge
route to Chicago, has resulted in the
success of the Erie, in the New York
Legislature. That body has passed
an amendment to the Erie Railway
Bill before it, legalizing the bonds
issued for the broad guage extension,
and passed the bill. Whatever may be
the moral bearings of the enmity be-
tween DREW and VANDERBILT, the in
terests of commerce demand the open
ing of another through route from New
York. " Vanderbilt" means mon
opoly of the carrying trade. Drew"
means two outlets for Western pro-
duce seeking an Eastern market.

sympathizes with the DREW interest.
