The Lture Cnp-A Very sad story

The telegraph few days since told a
brief story of the destruction of three
little children in Cleveland, Ohio, by
the caving in of a sand bank under
which they were playing. The follow
Ing are the details. At first it was doubt
ed that the missing children were under
the sand. When many were counseling
to abandon the work, little cap was
thrown ont by one of the shovelers.
This told the story, and rs the inteli-
gence flew through the crowd the ex
citement was Intense. Those in front
were so crowded up by those in the rear
as almost to prevent the men from work
ing, and the utmost efforts of two police
men who had res ched the spot, aided by
a few sensible ones, were scarcely able
TO hold them in abeyanCo.
The effect upon the mothers, of the
cap which told them of the fate of
heir little ones, may be but family i'm.
agIued. Mrs. Graf, when she knew that
she was childless, her only two treasures
lying beneath that heap of earth, utter
ed low moan and fell insensible to the
earth.
Her husband, who had been foremost
IN the work of exhumation, dropped his
shovel and fastened to his PROSTATE
wife. With the assistance of others he
bore her to the house. Restoratives
were applied and she soon revived, Only
but to realize more fully the effect of
the crushing blow. Mrs. Pigeon, who
mas other children, although deeply
aneeted' as only a mother can be beneath
such stroke, seemed more able to con.
Vrol herselt and refused to leave the
spot until her little dead boy had been
ulsinterred. His body was the first dis
covered aud the others immediately af-
yer, all being near together. As the
tittie coTpses were being drawn out of
tne SAND one by one, many a strong
!tt ueart was stirred with grief aud sympa,
su!' ana eyeiids moistened which had
oeen long unsued to tears.

The washington Election.

The charter election in Washington
takes place to-day. From all the indi-
cations it wiiIbe hotly contested, The
Radicals are devoting themselves to the
of black supremacy.
Negroes from Maryland and Virginia
are 10 be used to overbear the white
vote and place the Capital of the Uni
ted States under the rule of ignorant
negroes, and white men willing to herd
with the vilest in order so secure power,
place and plunder. Referring to the
bumiliatipg prospect Of throwing the
Washington. city Government into the
hands Of negroes, the National IntelH-
geRCer remarks:
To the people eff Washington the cup
is now presented of choosing between a
white.man and negro for high office
in the city government. 1t is the first
step that costs. As the Radical party
in this city is composed main y OF ne
groes, they will, in another year or two,
prescribe that most, if not all, the can
didates for the hoDOrs of public position
shall be of their own race. Men may
say there is DO danger of this; but it is
TO be remembered that all cooperation
of the best and most intelligent colored
people with the mass of our white citi-
zeus is subject to menaciug and violent
persecution by the Radical leaders.
Iu other words, the blacks are repelled
from having anything like good un-
derstanding in politics with the mass of
white citizens The orders in council
are for uOn-intercourse. There is a
fixed determination to make the blacks
act as a.unit-a solid mass-against the
white people. OF course it is the duty
of the latter to take all proper steps
under the law, to protect themselves
This resort is enforced upon them by
the Vaccinations of their enemies. 1t
does not follow, however, that they shall
initiate their enemies in prOsCriptive
ness; but while they should deal fairly
with black men, they must insist that
they themselves have rights to protect
at the ballot box against the wrongs that
the Radical partisan leaders never cease

poses,
