MANS throat cut-a gentleman

-garroters at work-highWaymen aud
cracksmen hold the city-are some OF
the delightful and cheerful headings
that we are compelled to write over
our Chicago telegraphic items. Ger
tainly there must be something rad
ically wrong with city government
that permits such wholesale crime as
is reported from that otherwise pros
porous city. These continued depre-
dations and lawless acts will only have
the effect of keeping purchasers and
consumers from trading In a city
where life is held at so cheap rate,

the most to be dreaded IeUeldnd
Leader.
1t all happened in this wise: The
Republicans were in a majority in
Chicago. The Democracy persuaded
some so called Republicans into sup
porting a so-called Reform Ticket.
The Reform Ticket was successful,
and the city is now gathering the
fruits. The Courier wants to run a
Reform Ticket in this city. but we
suspect the results of such move
ments in other places are not fatter-
ing enough to induce any.of our Re-
publicans to invest in it to an extent
that will repay the Democracy for
their time and labor IN getting it up.

Proceedings Of the Spencer County
Republican Convention, Held In
ROckpOFt, February 5tb, fS7O-List
Of Observation-Disclosures, DC.

In pursuance to call of the Chair
man of the Republican Executive
Committee of Spencer County, this
ganized by calling i. S. Gilkey, Esq,
to the Chair, and Milo e. Lawrence
to the Secretary's table. During the
deliberations of the Convention the
following resolutions were drafted
and unanimously adopted:
ResolUed, That we endorse the adj
ministration Of President Grant in the
administration of our national affairs,
and, also. the administration of our
State affairs by Governor Baker.
Res0lved, That in the rapid reduc-
ton of our national and State debts
by the honest application of the
money raised for those purposes by
our national and State taxes, meets
our hearty commentator.
Res0lUed, That we still continue to
insist upon the most rigid economy
In the administration of our public
affairs, whether National, State or
Municipal; and we hereby tender our
sincere thanks to the Hon. Henry l..
Dawes, for his manly and straight
forward speech on that subject.
ReSOtUed, That we will oppose the
election of any man to any office within
the gift of the people of the State,
who Is not opposed to the allowance
of the so called Wabash canal claim,
believing as we do, that the PROPOSE
ton to allow said claim is an attempt
to rob the tax payers of the State of
sixteen million dollars; and believing
furthermore that said claim has been
once equitably and fairly paid by the
State according to the terms as pro-
posed by the claimants themselves.
Resolred, That the failure and re-
fusal Of the State Democratic Con-
vention Of January 9Th, 1870, to ex-
press the sentiments of the Demo
cratic party on this question, justifes
all tax payers in believing that said
party is in some way or other, COM
mitted to this Ubiquitous attempt to
swindle the State of Indiana out of
millions of dollars.
ResolUed, That the Hon. Robert T.
Kercheval is the choice of this county
for the Office Of Treasurer of State,
and our delegates to the State Con-
vention are hereby instructed to cast
the vote of Spencer County for him,
and use all honorable means to secure
his nomination.

giving them the right of suffrage was
degrading the right and making it
ridiculous. Now, however, that the
Amendment has been ratified,
these same papers insist that
the natural place for this igno-
rant and degraded people is in
the Democratic party. So argues
the New Albany Ledger; so teaches
the Courier. We shall not be sur
prised, during the approaching cam
paign, to see the same lengthy Demo
cratic professions that characterized
the campaigns Of the past-the same
wagons of beautiful girls, represent
ing the glorious States of the Union,
with Goddess of Liberty accompani-
ment-the same old notices, but
changed to suit the new phase the
party is assuming. Instead of

expect the startling announcement,

on through the entire list. The old
banners and flags will answer excel
lently well, with only a verbal
change or two. What the Democ-
racy want, according to the Courier
isnpt only equality before the law -
but " equality at the Preside "
We suspect that large majority Of
the readers of the Courier will not
be able to keep up with it in the
rapidly with which it turns politiea
corners, and that many of them whC
have for years opposed negro suffrage
consistently and conscientiously vii
not be prepared to accept its "equalit!
at the freside " doctrine. However
we shall watch its endeavors to Gran
this new doctrine down their unwill
ing threats with qualification. W.
know nothing that will be more com
ical than to see a string of Irishmer
marching to the polls under Demo
cratic banners with the new notices
It will be an exhibition of retribu
tive justice and establishment com
bined that can hardly fail to produce
most beneficial results.

EACH night our little city is lighted

TIE Republican County Conven-
tions being held in various parts of
the State, are we'll attended and the
proceedings generally harmonious.
We are gratifed to observe that they
are generally outspoken on the sub
iect of retrenchment and economy.
1t will be we'll for the Republican
Representative in Congress to heed
these significant intimations of public
opinion. If there is any one point on
which the masses Of the party are re-
solved, it is that strict economy shall
be inaugurated by their Representa-
tives in Congress, in voting appro-
priations. 1t will not be politically
healthy for any of these Representa-
tives to disregard their wishes in this
particular.
At the Convention in Tippeeanoe
County, a resolution was adopted in
viting the male colored citizens of
that county to participate in the ac-
ton of the Convention upon equal
terms with the white members. This
is the first movement recognizing the
ratification of the Fifteenth Amend
ment as a political fact.

THE New Albany Ledger urges
Democrats to commence at once the
work Of existing the colored voter
into the ranks of the Democratic

hope Of continued freedom is in an
uDfaltering adherence to its princi-
pies.
The Courier of this city, if We right
ly comprehend the editorial in its
issue of yesterday, under the heading,
"Our Platform" boldly advocates alb
solute and perfect equality of all men,

minis tration Of the Government.
Social equality, or mingling at the
Preside, does not exist among white
people and never will. But the Cour-
Ter, with the zeal OF new convert,
goes beyond all the recognized laws
governing society, and insists that su-
cial equality at the freside must at
once be accorded the eolored people.
Or, in other words, that the colored
people, By the Fifteenth Amendment,
are elevated above large portion of
the white race, and are to en-
10y privileges hitherto denied a
large majority Of them. Of
course, all this is nonsense, aud
disgusting to large majority of the
people, both white and black. There
