past few days, of the negro. railing
out upon his ignorance, besotted stu
pidity, ~depravity and utter unftness
for the ballot. And yet close upon
these loud-mouthed denunciations
comes the intelligence from Cincin-
natl, that these same depraved and
besotted negroes have saved the Holy
Bible from being banished from the
public schools of that city. 1t is we'll

and Catholics, we'll backed up by the
leading Democrats, have been making
a formidable effort to exclude the
Bible from the free schools, The in
terest in the contest has extended so
widely over the country, that the
election on Monday last in that city,
assumed a national Importance. The
success of the movement would
have resulted in a general warfare
upon the free school system of the
country and a combined attack upon
all moral and Bible instruction in
our public institutions. In giving an
account of the Cincinnati election,
the Geographic report says that the
vote was close, but that the Republi-

careful estimates show, with the
members holding over from last year,

The water is obtained from q well
directly IN the real of the main build
ing. This we'll is eighteen feet in d.
ameter, and the bottom is fourteen
feet below the surface Of the river.
There is also a trench, the bottom of
which is on q level with the bottom
Of the well, six feet wide, fourteen
feet high, and seyenty-fve feet long,
running from the well and parallel
with the river. This trench may be
extended any length desired, and at
Fany time; the greater the length the
greater the quantity of water In the
well. At present its estimated capac-
ity is about 100000 of gallons per
day, more water than Dayton will be
likely to use In one day for many
years to come. The we'll and trench
are about $50 feet from the river.

most perfect scientific principles, and

THE TEST.
The day was most unfavOrable.
Old Pluvius seemed determined to
show that his system was superior to
Holly's; and, although he didn't
throw so vigorously, yet having had
two or three days the start, he more
than made up In quantity what he
lacked in force. Notwithstanding
this, a very large %concourse of people,
amongst whom were a goodly number
of ladies, assembled on the streets ad-
iacent to the of Third and
Main streets, to witness the test,
which began promptly at one o'clock.
The following is the result: Two
streams were thrown through l,0OO
feet of hose, perpehdicularly, 10
feet. After this six one inch streams
were thrown at the same time,
through two sections of hose each TO
about the same hight. The next
test was the throwing eft twelve
one inch streams at the same time,
each stream, as IN the other
case. passing through two sections OF
7 hose, to a hight yer n hundred
feet. a wire had previously been
; stretched across Main Street from the
tops of two polls, one hundred feet
: high, one on the Phillips House and
one on the building opposite. The
streams were thrown over this wire,
The next was the throwing of three
one and one-half inch streams, equal
in volume to six one inch streams. A
hight of about one hundred and forty
: feet was reached by these streams
The last test was an exhibition of the
amount of water that can be
pumped. This was done by let.
/. ting the pumps discharge the water
| through the open hose into the gut
tiers. The hose in all these cases
we're attached to the butts al
the street corners. During all o.
these tests the pumps were worked
f, by the engines with less than eighty
pounds of steam, and with one hun.
| dred and twenty pounds pressure or
the pipes. If the day had not beer
so windy, and the atmosphere sc
} dense, the streams would have beer
thrown to a much greater hight; but
as it was, everything passed off to the
complete satisfaction of all. Tht
Dayton Water Works is a complete
= success; a monument to the thrift anC
, enterprise of its people; and some.
thing to which they may proudly
point the stranger in their midst. [
t is no less u monument to the me
+; chanical skill Of the manufacturer
and is an incontrovertible argumen.
that the Holly system is all its owners
claim it to be.

The returns of the city election
show that upon the straight vote the
Republican general ticket had a clear
majority of all the votes cast; on the
general ticket, we carried six out of
nine Wards. But by the manage
ment Of the Democracy, we threw
away our chance to elect the Council.
While il il none the less Notifying, it
furnishes a cause of encouragement
to those disheartened Republicans who
are disposed to allow one reverse to
darken their whole political future.
Evansville is decidedly Republicans
on a straight vote, and the returns of
Mondays election clearly show that
fact.

The Courier, in its brief editorial
Yesterday morning, on the city election,
takes occasion to thank Conservative
Republicans, who it says resisted
the black element" and by their sup
port of the Democratic ticket secured
the triumph of the party, against
which they had been battling for
nearly a score of years. We think
that not only the Courier, but many
Republicans, in their disappointment,
are disposed to give too great i'm
portance to this element of disaffec-
ton in the party; and yet there is no
question that quite q number of Re-
publicans were Influenced to cast their
votes at the city election in favor of
the Democratic ticket through preju-
dice toward the negroes. A greater
political folly can hardly be conceived.
How such a course would tend to
better the material or social interests
Of the city, or in the least degree weak
en- the political effect of the Fifteenth
Amendment, it is impossible for any
Republican to indicate. Blythe organic
law Of the Nation which is to- day as
i~rrevoeably fixed in the Constitution
as "the law of the Medes and Per-
SLAMS, which altereth not" the col
ored men of the country are guaran-
teed the right of suffrage. No politi-
cal revolution, which is at all prob
able. can take it away from them. IT
the Democratic party at the next
election should sweep every State in
the Union, it would be powerless to
prevent them from voting. What po-
Iitical insanity then in permitting pre-
iadice of caste and race to throw the
administration Of our municipal af-
fairs into the hands of the party, which
has time and again shown its incapac-
ity or indisposition to successfully
manage them. In every year that
this party has had control of the city,
it has proved itself a complete failure,
and the people have eagerly seized up
on the first opportunity to drive it
from power to save themselves from
oppressive taxation, and the city
from bankruptcy. And yet the Cour
Ter boasts that the Republican party,
which, it confesses. has a majority in
the city, has again. out of pure preju-
dice, entrusted this reckless party
with power. How much better it
would have been to have retained the
administration of municipal affairs in
the hands of safe and experienced
men and responsible property hold
ers, another twelve months of DEM
ocratic extravaganza and misrule will
determine to the pecuniary hurt of
those witless Republicans. whom the
Courier now delights so highly to
honor.
Negro suffrage il m accomplished
fact, and wise men have so accepted it.
The ~senseless resentment of Conser-
vative Republicans will be apparent
when the Democratic rabble of polit-
zeal tricksters has full control of the
city, and which tax paying time makes
its annual return.

A YEAR ago the Republican party
carried the City Council and the City
Ticket by a sweeping majority, and
yet the Democracy contended that it
was not much of a victory after all.
On Monday last the Republicans
evenly divided with them the city Of
fees. and yet they were drunk with
delight and bad whisky over their
dearly bought triumph. Their occa-
sions for rejoicing have been so few
during the past ten years. that they
certainly ought to be permitted to
glorify to their hearts content.

GoIladay,s Successor.

The confederate Democracy of the
Bowling Green, KY, District, are
having an animated controversy over
a successor to Golladay, who, it will
be remembered, resigned in such hot
haste his seat in Congress, pending
charges against him of bribery in the
disposition of cadetships. There are
already four candidates in the field,
among whom is Golladay, who insists
on giving the people an opportunity
to pass upon his case at the ballot
box. The fear is hat in their in
ternal divisions, the Radicals, with
the aid of the colored vote, will cleo;
their candidate; and to prevent this
i~ndignity to the proud old Common
wealth" a convention is to be held
to-day at Russellville, to harmonic
if possible, the divided forces.

The Legal.Tender Decision.

The impression in Washington APP
pears to be that the legal-tender ques-
ton will be re.opened in the Supreme
Court. A dispatch from there states
that such is the impression of a promi-
nent Senator after a conversation with
the judges. The Friday night dis
patches to the Cincinnati Gazette give
the following intimations upon the
subject:
The sensation Of the day, here, is
the action Of the Supreme Court on
the legal-tender question. There are
two cases on the docket, involving the
constitutionality of the act of 1862,
but the matter having been so much
argued, the court some time ago or
dered that no more arguments would
be heard, the understanding being
that when these cases were reached
they would be decided on the princi-
pies laid down in the decision recently
made.
The Attorney General, yesterday,
asked the court to reconsider this
order, and allow the argument on
these two pending cases. The Chief
Justice, to-day, announced that the
motion was granted, and Monday, the
18th, set for the hearing. This is
not technically a re-opener of the
legal tender question, but it practical
" amounts to that, because, if full
well satisfied with the recent decision,
there would be no occasion for hear
ing further argument. 1t is given out
that Miller. Davis. Swayne, Strong,
and Bradley voted for the Attorney
Generals motion, and Chase, Nelson,
Clifford, and Field against it. Pretty
much everybody seems to believe that
Chsse's decision Is to be reversed,
and the constitutionaliiy Of the act
10 question fully affirmed, and it is
conceded. on all hands, that what is
done should be done quickly"

HATRED Of the negro was not the
only or chief element which promoted
she defeat of the Republican Coun-

ear was given by saloon-keepers to
the promise which was industriously

men were elected. the sale of liquor
should be free and unrestrained on
Sunday. While the Council have no
legal power or authority on the cues

THE Democratic newspapers are in
the habit Of stoutly and uniformly
charging hal the Radical majority in
Congress, on the question Of contested
elections, as in ali other political mat
tiers, are INSCRIPTIONS in taking pure
ly partisan action, regardless of the
facts. 1t will be remembered that
the Congressional race in the First
Ohio District, (Cincinnati), between
Eggleston, Republican, aud Strader,
Democrat, was very closely contested,
and the correct result involved in
much doubt. How do these same
Democratic papers reconcile their
wholesale charges of partisan legisla-
ton with the following fact, tele-
graphed to the Louisville Courier
Journal, from Washington:
Although another argument is to
be made in the contested election oil
Eggleston against Strader, First Ohio
District. the committee do not see how
it can alter the result, and Mr.. Hale,
Of Maine, is writing out the UndRi-
nous report Of the committee against
