From the Cleveland Plaind

A strange couple came up from Erie
on the Lake Shore road, Saturday eve-
ming, exciting the disgust and intense
curiosity of every passenger in the car.
1t comprised a sooty. greasy negro, and
a pretty white girl. whom he had mar
ried the day before at Erie. The girl
evidently felt good deal of shame at
her situation, for she kept herself
doubly yelled and look ed out of the
window all the time. Her Othello,"
however, was all passionate tenderness
and attention. We have learned the
antecsdents of the pair, which We lay
before our readers: On Thursday, q
tall, gaunt, very black negro, about 40
years Of age, registered at the Morton
house, Erie, as " William Lindsey and
wife, Ohio" He requested the land
lord to give him the best room in the
house, as his wife would arrive on the
next train and join him. His wife
however, not putting in an appearance
by next morning, he went 70 Oberlin
after her. 1t happened that the girl
Carrie Brown by name-was on her
way to Erie, to join her lover tugh }
and the train that he was on passed
hers. Arriving at Erie aud learning
the state of affairs, Carrie remained in
the depot till evening, when Lindsey
returned from Oberlin. They then
went to the hotel and asked to be
showed to his room. The landlord
asked the negro if the lady with him
was his wife, and was answered in the
Affirmative. The landlord then inter
rogated the lady, who was a beautiful
young Irish girl, She said they were
not yet married, but that they had
come for the purpose Of being married.
The tT0 were then told that they must
produce a certificate Of marriage before
they could occupy room together.
whereupon they called upon the Rev.
Mr.. Nutting, of Erie. and were mar
ried. The girl said she came from
Boston, Mass; that she had been living
in the family of Prof. Allen, of ODER.
lin, and attending school; that she
there met this man, her present hus
band. He says he is Wesleyan
Methodist preacher. Prof. Allen
knew Of her leaving to marry the ne
gre, ana was in favor Of her marriage
They left Erie on Saturday morning
for Ob.rin. The bride is a very pref
ty girl, and was we'll dressed. She says
her parents live in Boston. She has
been In Oberlin since October last.
The negro wore tail stoyepipe hat,
and carried a cotton unb rella in his
hand,

WHEN it was prop osed to hold au in
auguration ball at Washington, it was
found t hat large number Of negroes
intended to patronize the entertainment.
The managers could not consistently
exclude the Ethiopian element. and
yet apistocratic radicalism turned up it's
nose in holy horror at the thought of a
general commingling of colors. General
Grant settled the difficulty by writing a
letter discouLtenancing the bali, where
upon the project was abandoned to the
great relief Of white radictlism. but to
the ineffable disgust of fashionable

The sun had put his night-cap on,
And covered DER his head,
When countless stars appeared amid
The curtains round his bed.
The moon arose, most mOtherly,
To take quiet peep

Her sovereign was asleep.
She saw them wink their silvery eyes,
AS ifin roguish play;
Though silent all, To her they seemed
AS ii they d much to say.
SO, lest their frolies should disturb
The sleeping king of light,
She rose so high that her mild eye
Corld keep them all in sight.
The stars. ablshed, stole softly back,
And look'd cmure and prim;
Until the moon began TO nod,
Her eyes bt coming dim.
Then slcepily she sought her home,
That s somev hcre-whO knows where
But as she went. the playful stars
Commenced their twinkling glare.
And when the moon was fairly gone,

And he began to rise.

Sprang forth newborn day;
Before whose brightness all the stars

The Chicago Times says; again
there come rumors from Washington
that the senate will not vote for the
hosss bill repeating the civil.tenure
act, snd will not consent to the modif-
easSsn of the act proposed by Senator
Wilson. As General Grant has said
he earnestly desired the repeal, and
will doubtless employ all his influence
to obtain it, the senate will hardly
come in collision with him on this
question. The democratic members
will vote for repeal, because they be-
lieve the civil tenure act to be I'm con-
slitutional, and to have been passed
merely to insult President johnson
and deprive him of his lawful authori-
~.
The act was in fact an assertion
that President johnson was so weak or
wicked that he could not be trusted
with powers exercised by all of our
former presidents. So it stands on the
statute to-day; and to permit it to re-
main there is to say that the party in
power is so distrustful Of Grant that it
will treat him on this question as it
treated johnson. This will be very
likely to put Grant into an excellent
bumor. If there is to be harmony be-
swesn the next president and congress
the eisil-tenure act must lie out Of the
way before the fourth of March.
The senate retrenchment committee
has reports bill modifying the civil
tenure act so that the. incoming pres
ident can remove his cabinet officers
but it couples this meagre con accession
with provision that no military or
civil officer shall hold two Offices arthe
same time. Grants especial friends
are reported to be indignant over the
measure and we'll they may be,-for,
while pretending to extend a great ia
yor, it actually offers a gross insult.

but fourth is to be added. The mo-
ton is communicated either with the
hands or feet, or with both, and the
vehicle is capable of being attached to
horse and drawn like an ordinary
buggy. The steering apparatus is
managed by the knees of the rider.

PLANK ROAD PLAID-The Va
tional Union, of South Bend. says that
A. Slower of that county has had three
trials with the plank road company on
the charge of attempting to defraud the
plank road company. He simply re.
fused to pay toll, on the ground that
the road was not in proper repair.
The first jury disagreed, four being for
defendant, and two for plaintiff. The
second result was like unto the first,
except that five were for the defendant
and one for the plaintiff. The third
verdict was unanimous for Slower, the
jury finding no cause for action.
We are glad to sec that some one has
hadt spirit TO refuse to be swlndled
longer by the plank road companty. 1t
has for years cen nuisance to the
travelling public and it should be ither
repaired or abated.

RED RIVER TROUBLES,
Governor wcDoa2al'= Removal dc
mnuded.

TORONTO, November lS.-The Her
AIDS special saws: Considerable aston
ishment and uneasiness is caused about
the Red river troubles by an article in
the Montreal News, which says: We
had private reformation last August,
the purport Of which we made known,
that if Mr.. McDougal appeared at Red
river in his official capacity serious
trouble would supervepe. He had
rightly or wrongly made himself obnOx-
ious to the Indians. They regarded him
as deriving them of their lands. They
said that Sir Francis Head in the name
of Her Majesty gave them the
Manitoul Island as their exclusive
and Interchangeable property while
grass grew or water rained, and that
Mr. McDougal, in utter scOrn of that
gift, ordered the white Commissioner
of the crown lands TO survey some por-
tions of the Island, while they aggra-
vate the alleged outrage by imputlng
to him that he had dispossessed them
TO enrich his connections and relations.
We tell the Ottawa Government that it
made one mistake when it named Mr..
McDougal for Governor. Let it not
perpetuate that blunder by retaining
him at the northwest. Recall him and
avoid, except as a last and desperate
alternative, sending troops there. There
are in this Province many gentlemen
Boosting Indian blood, and they are the
men the Government should consult
until colonization has been organized.
