may exhilarate them for D time, but
with a continuous line Of general de-
feats the party is paralyzed, and gradu-
ally it falls into decay.
We shall, in obedience to what
seems TO be the Democratic senti-
ment, not ask the negro to vote the
Democratic ticket. We leave his
course to be governed by his own
Judgment. We make 40 appeals. We
ask 40 favors.
THE ELECTION NEXT MONDAY
The proclamation of Hamilton Fish,
officially announcing the ratification
Of the 10Th Amendment. will, we pre-
sumo, occasion n result on Monday
next, somewhat different from that
which the many friends of progress
and reform have been lead to antlcl-
pate. If every Democrat comes to
the polls and casts his vote, however,
we may still hope for O brilliant VIC
tory. This is manifestly the duty Of
every Democrat and Conservative vo-
ter In Evansville. 1t would be worse
than idle quietly to fold our arms and
give the government of the city into
the hands of the Radicals, merely be-
cause a new element has been added
to our voting population. The
fact that the radical vote is likely to
be increased by the accession of two
or three hundred voters, is no reason
why white men, whose fathers before
them, have always controlled the
government, should deliberately yield
the radical party an uneontested VIC
tory. The principles of the Demo-
cratic party have always been, and al
ways will be the surest retreat for the
poor and oppressed. They are found
ed on the principles of free govern.
ment and their strict observance by
men Of all parties and every color, is
the only safeguard to the republican
form of government bequeathed US
by our fathers. This has always been
the creed of Democrats, and yet we
have heard earnest men of the party
say that they do not intend
to vote, now that the negroes
are e~nfranchisedl Do they, then, in.
tend tamely to surrender this city
: into the hands of the colored men ?
Is it their purpose to entrust the city
e government to the Radical candidates
for Council-to men who, it is uni
versally conceded, are totally incom-
; petent-merely because of prejudice
9 against the colored race? Is it true
: that large property. holders and tax
: payers are willing to subject their
: property to the control of men who
9 could not hope to be elected without
. the accession of this new voting ele-
e ment, and who cannot be elected ever
] now except through the apathy
y and Indifference of u OSCn peo
= pile? Such %poltroonery and coward
" ice would be a disgrace even
to Womenl Let that Democrat who
y fails to do his whole duty on Monday
y next rest assured in the consolation
= that he has cast a half vote in favor
Of the radical policy which he affects
to despisel Let him n~otgrumble over
heavy taxes imposed upon his prop
e erty by men elected by colored voters
if he has failed to go to the polls anC
q vote the Democratic ticketl IF, as
9 many men of both parties think, thu

In Illinois recently a judge decided
that an atheist had right to testify in
a court of justice A disbelief in future
awards and punishments did not dis
qualify him, for no one could be denied
any civil right on account Of religious

passing rapidly away. In many of the
States criminals are permitted to testify
under oath in their own defense, and in
nearly all the States-Tennessee in
carbohydrates TO civil actions are per-
mitted to testify, and the result of all
these innovations has been good in effect.

Yesterday she was placed in the grave,
enshrouded in her bridal robes.
