An Incident Of the Election.
The Hon. Ralph Leete was elec-
ted to Congress by the white voters
of the Eleventh District, but was
defeated by the niger repoaters
who voted whenever and wherever
they wanted to. The characteristic
gratitude of the negro was not cx-
emplified in his case, as an incident
will illustrate. Twenty years ago,
when Ralph Leete was the Demo
cratic Prosecuting Attorney Of Law
renee county, some slave traders
captured family of negroes who
had been legally emancipatcd in
Virginia, well provisioned and well
located in that, county. Mr.. Leete,
who was, and is still one of the liv-
ing apostles Of Thomas Jefferson
and State Rights, did not propose to
allow the Yankee negro traders to
make an African slave coast of his
bailiwick, and Immediately began
proceedings against the kidnappers,

ment of the crowd from Louisville
slave pen, and afterwards the re-
,maindcr from a like institution in
New Orleans, restoring all to their
homes in Lawrence, where they
multiplied to n wonderful extent. =
Two or three nights before the late
election there was a big meeting of
the darkies of the township in which
this tribe of negroes had been loca-
ted, and general distribution of
Abolition aud coole tickets. About
forty full grown negroes were pres
ent. The chairman announced that
"De Ironton publican Komittee has
autorized me to 'stribute de folIerin
tickets among you coons, an you be
surah to vote dem accordin' to dc
structions of dc said komittee. -
One venerable darkey, the father of
the family Leetc saved, shook his
white locks at the ticket presented
him, and asked as de name of de
Honorable Ralphus Leete on dis
tclet?' The austero chairman re,
piled: "No, sab, de name of Ral.
plus Leetc don't done gone got on
dat ticket, Him am a copperhead
and seccSsionist of de fust class, and
no black kin think ofvotin for him"
The old man again shook his white
wool and delivered, substantially,
the following speech: See hear,
young man, did dis coon understand
you to say dat de name of Ralph
Leete was not on dis piece q paper

out of the house, but Mr.. Leete got
but one negro vote out of the fifty
cast in the township, all the rest be-

A Good One.

At a recent wedding among
the first families of this city,
quite sprightly joke was per-
petrated, but just upon whom
the weight of it fell is difficult
TO determine. While the party
were sitting around the sup.
per table, and before the dis
tribution Of the viands had
begun, the bride turned her
plate over and drew from under
it slip of paper, which upon
reading she discovered to be q
check for five thousand dollars,
payable to her order. Flushed
with joy she of course passed
it to her husband who hastily
cast his eyes over it and in
turn passed it to a gentleman
friend at hand, who likewise
perused it, but pretending ig.
norance Of tie object Of the
gift handed it to the clergyman
in attendance who, witllout a.
word, began to pocket it with
that hilarious motion and flush
of countenance which ipdicat-,
ed that it was the best fee he.
had ever received at a wed.
ding. The eyes ofthe three
were at once fixed upon him in
surprise and consternation.-
The bride, of course, would not.
speak for five thousand dollars,
and the bridrgoom was entirely
too happy to utter a wor4 and
even if he felt like it, his rela-
tions were too recently formed
to assume control Of his wife's
property, and the friend who
had got them into the trouble
too sensibly appreciated tie
joke to say a word, while the
clergyman-well, he did not
think of anything else but go
ing right straight off to the
bank and drawing the money.
However, before he had got
the check comfortably nestled
in his vest pocket, the friend
who had passed it to him, issu-
ed his order in the followed
words; "Take that check out
of your pocket " Which the
clergyman promptly obeyed,
and all parties were at once
relieved of suspense. The
joke, however, was duly ap.
preciated, and by none better
than the clergyman himself
