RICHMOND, March 30.-The argu-
ment in the injunction case of Ca
hoon against Ellison, rival Mayors,
closed in the United States Circuit
Court, to-day, ex-Gov. Wise making
the closing speech for Cahoon. He
repudiated In strong terms, any afili-
alton with the black Republican par
ty, and claimed to be still an unre-
pentant rebel, and did not want his
position misunderstood, because he
appeared as counsel for the Republi-
can claimant. He claimed that the
Court has jurisdiction, because
Cahoon. as a provisional appointee,
is q United States officer, and Is not
to go out of Office until regular cleo
tion By the people.
Ellison's counsel claimed that the
admission of the State terminated the
powers Of all the provisional officers
IN the State. This decision will affect
all the Offices In the State, which are
neaEly al filed by military appoint
ess, and who will remain IN until
July, If the decision Is in favor Of
Cahoon.

BatiHCa;iOR OF Fifteenth amendment.
The great aud final act in the pro-
gress Of the colored people, from sla-
Yary to full citizenship. is con-
sumnated. The President, yes
tsrday issued the official Proc
lamati1n announcing the ratifea-
too IF the Fifteenth Amend
ment. by the required number of
States, to make it valid portion of
the Constitution of the United Stateg.
The document is one of the most i'm
portant ever issued from the Execu-
tive Department. 1t extends to the
eolore1 people of every portion of the
United States the right Of franchise
an oECEi-a right they viii use, we
arc confident, with the same prudence
and fidelity which characterised their
conduct in the trying scenes con-
nected with the great question of re-
construction.
The oolored men of Evansville
are highly honored in that they win
be frst Of all their race in the State,
to exercise the great right Of fran
ohise, and it will become them to
show their brethren throughout the
State, that they appreciate the boon
By the prudence and good sense
with which they exercise it. They
arc not ignorant Of the questions at
issue, or the parties involved, and We
are confident they will be true
to the confidence reposed 10 them, as
we'll as true to the best interests of
the city. which they have selected as
their home.

Indian Massacre in Texas.

Meeting or officers and SOldIe or
Army OF tho Cumberland, at Chica-
go, to take Action on the Death OF
Gen. ThOmas-Other Items.
CHICAGO, March 30.-A meeting of
the officers and soldiers of the Army
of the Cumberland, and others, was
held at the Sherman House, this fore
noon, to take action in reference to
the death of Maj. Gen. Thomas. Sew
eral hundred came together in re-
sponse to the call, most of whom had
served with the gallant veteran.
Lieut.. Gen. Sheridan, was chosen
chairman. A committee was appoint
ed for the purpose, and reported brief
resolutions which were adoi ted.
General Sheridan presumed that the
remains of General Thomas, would
pass through this city, on its way east,
and a committee with Lieut.. Gen.
Sheridan at its head, was appointed
to prepare to do them suitable honors.
Should such be the fact the committee
will proceed to Omaha to meet the
remains when they arrive there, and
escort them to this city.
Suit has been brought by Charles
a. Oohas u ANSW OEks against the
| Chicago Republican Company to pro-
cure reformation of contract and
payment of two notes which were
given by Dana In the course of his
connection with the concern, and
which the Republican Company as :
sumed and agreed to pay.
Donald A. Smith and one Cana
| dian arrived at st. Paul yesterday,
from Fort Garry, having left there on
the 18th inst. He says all has been
quiet since tho execution of Scott.
He says all political prisoners had
been released, including Mayor Ceul-
ton, although preparations had been
made for his execution on the 18th,
and he was only saved by the inter-
cesslon OF many influential citizens
and of Governor Smith.
The Press says General Hancock
has had Instructions from the War
| Department to establish a military
post at Pembina, and will immedi-
ately send two companies of infantry
there.
A movement is on foot in this city.
| with Mrs. Elizabeth Osgood, Good
rich, Willard and others at its head,
to organize an Independent Woman s
| Suffrage Association, in opposition to
the party Of Mrs. Livermore, Susan
| B. Anthony and others. A meeting
will be held in Farwell Hall, mex
Tuesday. The call takes the ground
that the Legislative Departments o.
the National, State and Municipa'
Departments of the Government
should be under the control of women
while the Executive and Judicial De.
partments should be under the car,
of men.

Georgia, as Governor Of Idaho, the
commission of Governor Ballard, the
present incumbent, expiring on tho
10th of April.
The consideration of the San Do
mingc treaty was resumed by the
Senate this afternoon. Mr.. Casserly
spoke about three hours, taking a
physiological view Of the question and
arguing against territorial ex-
pansion, especially towards the
tropics. Steward favored the treaty,
and he maintained that the
American people were opposed to
the standing still policy, and there
fore. desire territorial expansion as
an inevitable destiny. No action
whatever was taken on the treaty,
which probably will be laid aside to-
morrow IN order ID dispose Of the
Mississippi Senatorial question. The
friends of the treaty express conf
dence that the delay will gain friends
for ratification, tie prospect for
which, however, at the present, is far
from favorable.

SPOKE HIS PIECE" AaAIN.-It is
wrong for everybody to be making
fun Of Whittlesey. His Baumgartner
speech was a good speech. His point,
that the Republican party had built
school houses up town before they had
in Lamasco, was telling one, as it
stood. 1t wasn't just the thing for
the Democratic nominee for Clerk to
take il upon himself to WhiHlesey
down that point by his uncalled for
remark, that when brother Whit
tlesey complains Of school houses
being built up town FIRST, he should
remember that, perhaps, it was be-
cause mp torn itself was built first" :"
