pressed the opinion that the colored

presume the election will be quiet and

The maniacal and inhammatory
harangues Of Mr.. A. L. Whittlesey
and others, at the various Ward meet
ings Of tho Democracy, aroused the
old and respectable leaders of the
party, aud on Saturday night they
presented themselves at the opera
house meeting, Tor the first time du-
ring the campaign. The effect of
their presence was very manifest.
The noisy demagogues whistled low,
aud we heard nothing of resisting the
Constitution Of the United States,
and raising riot and tumult at the
polls. Mr.. DENLY is too good law
79r to insist that the ConatitutiOn of
lilo United States did not, upon the
announcement of tho ratification OF
ha Fifteenth Amendment, immedi-
atoly confer the right Of suffrage upon
tho colored men who were otherwise
ent tied TO vote.
Yet, timely as was the movement OF
these gentlemen to quiet the rawlings
Of the unscrupulous and turbulent
leaders Of the Democracy, they
arc too late to control the desti-
nies Of the city 10 case the ticket, put
ia nomination by the party, is success
ful. That ticket was selected by the

ST. LOUIS. April 3.-Some parties
East have been selling forged drafts,

Bank, Of New York, Tor 8, 800, was
sent By the York County, Pennsylva-

discovered. Another, drawn on the
Continental National Bank, Of New

the National Park Bank, of New

Bank, of Atol, Massachusetts,, for
collection, and payment refused,
The latter draft vas paid to the shoe
Manufacturing House at At0i, for
shoes. but whether the money was
obtained on the first mentioned draft
IS not known. No clue to the forger,
but IS supposed to be the same man
who recently had printed at Balti-
more a quantity of fraudulent blank

Chris. NunderIIch.

The Courier, yesterday, accuse d
Chris. Wunderlich of sending John
Sheer and Newton Van Trees to
Princeton, in this State, to act as
spies for the detection Of liquor deal
ers in that place in illegal sales" The
Demokrat-the German edition of the
CoUrier-made a similar charge last
winter. Mr.. Wunderlich furnished
that paper with the following lettor at
that time, which the DenlOkrat printed
and acknowledged to be a complete
and satisfactory refutation of the
charge. That the Courier would re-
peat the charge, under the cireum-
stances. only proves that the Demoe.
raey base their hopes of success
upon hard lying. The following is a
copy Of the letter:
PRIECEToN, Ind, Jan. 10, 1870.
Mr. c. Wunderlich:
DEAR SIR-I heard last night that
some one from here had heen circu-
lating a report in your city, about the
evidence of John Sheer, in relation
to his business here. The report that
| got is this, that you had hired John
| Sheer to come here, and bring cases
against the saloon keepers. Now.
there is no truth In this. John Sheer
testified that you had told him (Which
fact you had learned from me) that
the Town Trustees of Princeton would
give 800 reward if he (Sheer) would
ferret out the person or persons who
were doing the daubing and breaking
things here, and that you told hip,eso
report to me and l would "a him
what to do.
John Sheer neUer said thdtgou hired
him to detect The saloon keepers. There
a0as nothing IN his Evidence that casi
dny reflection on yOU l0hdteUer, ds be
| iag c2nnected in the case of getting uI
prosecutions against the saloon keeper
of this place. He stated that L tolC
him that the Trustees or Common
Council of the town woulA give
per cent Of all fines madt and col
lected on all violations Of their L;quo
Ordinances, aud that no one had eve
, promised to give him anything for tn
cases then being tried (Which wer
State prosecutiOns), and that he &c
no pay for them whatever. There az
D quite number of persons here uh
, heard John Sheer's etidence. lohO ,oi
bear testimony to The aboUe statenlent
required.
a You arc at liberty to use this lettC
: in any way you wish, and if you thin
{ best you may have it published.
Yours, truly, NV. BARNETT,
T. Marshal of Princeton.

Dr.. MUuLHAUsEN gave good ac-
count of the Third Ward, and re-
viewed in a practical way some of the
labors that would devolve upon the
new council in paying the immense
debt and extravagant rate of interest
imposed upon the taxpayers by the
present council. His remarks created
profound sensation. DR.. Muhl-
hansen will be one of the practical
men of the next couneil.-C Courier.

ing of what he was talking about, or
he wilfully perverted the facts. 1t is

reduced rate of interest. This indebt'
edness was bequeathed to them by

THE Courier is much exercised over
a secret meeting, which it alleges was
held by the present Council in order
to prevent some of the notes OF the
city from going to protest. We are
aware that the present Council ex-
perienced great trouble in providing
for the debts contracted by its prede-
cessor, which came due within the
year, and we think it more than likely
that several secret sessions were held.
But the fact is none the less credit
able that all such Indebtedness was
provided for, the rate cf interest re-
duced, and yet $4,000 less taxes
assessed upon the people than were
/ levied the year before. This fact i
is. upon Nhich the Republicans base
their claim for continued confidence,

GERMANS are too shrewd to overlook
the fact that not solitary German
was nominated on the Democratic
ticket for any Office of value. For
the paying Offices, such as Clerk, Col
lector and Marshal, they were rigidly
excluded, while for the non. paying Of
fees, like Councilmen, they were given
a liberal representation. The Go
