NOT As EXPECTED.

= 'rhe Cincinnati Enquirer has All
account of the effect of the fifteenth
amendment on the election in Cler-
won't county, ohlos The Radicals
ADticlpateda signal victory over The
Democrats, and, to insure 1t, drilled
the new negro voters until they could
deploy into line and present ballots
with thesaeeuracy Of veterans. But
their stratery was not proof against
n surprise planned by II wing of their
own party, hitherto reliable under all
circumstances.
AS the black element advanced
and delivered their fire at the Demo-
cratic line Of battle, the German .ele-
ment, by a flank movement, threw
themselves into tire Democratic
ranks and changed the fortunes Of
the day from an anticipated Radical
victory into a Radical defeat. The
natural antipathy of races, felt and
acknowledged by all, but the Yankee
puritan, will manifest itself when
ever and wherever the Germans and
Irish are brought in direct contact, at
the polls, with the Ethiopian, or the
sons Of Ham, aud II Is not unreason-
able to expect that the German and
irish Radicals will prefer affiliation
with Democrats to, even, political
equality with the negro. This equal
ity had no weight with them so long
us it seemed u far Off theory, and re-
duced to practice only in the South.
But when brought home to them
selves, the hideous mocllery was so
shocking to their sense of the fitness
of things, so revolving to their pre-
conceived ideas of what this govern
ment was intended to be, Of what it
ought to be, that 1t Is more than pro-
bable they will dissolve their connec-
ton with the destructives and aid
the opposition to restore the govern
mcnt to something like Its original
form and purpose.
. There are localities, however, where
the whites, from every cline, are so
thoroughly self-debased to the level
of the negro, that something more
than the disgusting mOnstrosity of
the unnatural sympathy will he re-
, Iuired to wean them from their delu-
sion md stimulate them ton effort
to assert their natural superiority and
to throw of the CALLING yoke Of ty-
ranny, SO CALLING and so ruinous even
to Radicals who are not admitted in
to the circle of monied aristocrnts
who run the government by means
Of soullcss and corrupt rings. In
time, even they will feel their wrongs,
and, If not too late, will turn upon
their opprcssors and seek relief from
evils endured now through ignorance
and fanaticism.

The Journal of Commerce adds /:

The few members of Congress who
understand anything Of financial or
commercial affairs are chiefly re-
strained by political or personal mo-
tives from giving their aid to such leg
islation as the country needs, while
the great mass of those to whom this
great trust Is committed have no
proper sense of its vast Importance,
and no practical knowledge to guide
them even in an honest endeavor to
promote the common good. But
there IL an intense vitality among
the people, and we have some faith
that, in spite of all this official quaclx-
cry, the nation will survive the treat
ment and ultimately come TO IA high
err condition of prosperity.

Ssaring at Ladies-A Veto Message of
the Mayor of Louisville.
MAyoR's OFFICE.

MAYORS OFFICE,
LoUIs7rLLE, KY, Nov. %, 1870.
To the General Council of the City of Louis
l. vile
GsNTLEMEN-I herewith return, I'M
approved, an ordinance passed Novem>
Ter 4th by the Board Of Common Coun.
Gil and November 18th by the Board of
Aldermen, entitled An ordinance to
protect females while passing along the
Streets
The ordinance would imply that our
old and young men sometimes crowd
around the sidewalk to annoy and in
suit passing females. believe that our
male citizens have too high a respect for
themselves and for the gentler sex to be
guilty of an intention Of shocking the
feelings of the latter. 1t is true that the
custom is for those Of our young men
that have the time to frequent Fourth
and other streets to admire the handsome
ladies as they pass, and l am not sure
that many of our older male members do
not at times 60 several squares out of
their way for the purpose Of gazing at
the display of beauty and fashion on the
fashionable promenade; but certainly
the object is not to offer rudeness to the
ladies'. 1t is even not unlikely that the
ladies are not displeased at being OBJ
served by the gentlemen, though would
not have your honorable body under
stand me as confidently asserting this of
our fair friends. For my part, think
there is nothing on earth more pleasing
than hondsome, weli-beh ,ved woman /;
and the maI that can not appreciate and
be grateful for such ought to be fined |;
bat to fine man for looking with admit
ration upon tn ladies is something can
not approve Of Is however, there should
be found men SO degraded as to behave
With vulgarity and rudeness to the la
dies on the streets. they can be arrested
tordisorderly conduct. aad will be spurn-
ed by every true man.
If this ordinance should become law,
all our adult male population would be
liable to be sent to jail, aad 1 am afraid
not few would have to be fined while
it is even possible that some Of your hons
orable selves might be surprised to find
yourselves victims to its sweeping pro-
hibitions Besides, our police force would
in my opinion, have to be largely increas-
ed to carry out its provisions, and we
seem to have too many ordinances now
that are impracticable Of enforcement,
without passing others that would be
open to the same objection.
Respectfully,
JOHN G. BAXTER, Mayor.

The societies selected are allow
ject to the approval of the Execu-
tive, and are expected TO watch
over them and aid them as mis-
sionarits and Christians, and civil
ize the Indian and to train him in
the arts of peace. The Govern.
ment watches over the official acts
of these agents, and requires of
them as strict an account, and as
great ability as if they were ap-
pointed in any manner. / enter
tain the confident hope that the
policy now pursued will, in few.
years, bring all Indians upon res
ervatiohs where they will live in
houses, have school houses and
churches, will be pursuing peace
full and self-supporting avocaiions,
and where they may be visited by
the law abiding white man, with
the same impunity that he now
visits civilized white settlements.
call your special attention to the
report of the Commissioner of In
dian Affairs for full information
on the subject.
POLICY OF ADMINISTRATION gPIToM.
80 IzED.
In conclusion I would sum up
the policy of the Administration to
be thorough enforcement of ev-
cry law; faithful collection of
taxes provided for; economy in
the disbursement of the same;
prompt payment of the debt of the
nation; reduction of taxes as rap
idly as the, requirements of the.
country will admit; reduction Of
taxation and tariff to be so arrang-
ed as to afford the greatest relief
to the greatest number; honest and
fair dealings with all other people,
to the end that war, with all it's
blighting consequences, may be
avoided, but without surrendering
any right or obligation due to the
United States; a reform in the
treatment Of Indians, and the
whole civil service Of the country,
and firm in securing a pure un-
trammelled ballot at which every
man entitled to cast vote may do
SO, just once. at each election,
without fear of moleststion or pro-
scription on account of his poIiti-
Cal faith, nation atty or color.

Another Shooting Affray-A Young

in Randolph County.

Another Shooting Affray-A Young
Man Shot Instead Of his Father
in Randolph County.
From the Union City Gazette.
On Tuesday afternoon, Goth inst
near Fort Recovery, there occurred
a very unfortunate affray between
Mr.. Young and Scott, and two
of their sons. -v-.e....1,
1t appears that some personal
difficulty existed between the fam
lilies in regard to a road between
their FARMS. Yesterday they were
both in town, and probably bad
imbibed somewhat largely of the
stimulant kept in Fort Recovery in
great abundance. In this condi-
ton they met, and on altercation
followed between the old men.
Scott, it seems, desired to avoid
any further difficulty, and started
homeward, but was followed by
Young. who. attacked him with
knife and inflicted severe if not
fatal wound in SCOTS side where
upon young Scott drew revolver
and aimed at old Mr.. Young, and
at the instant of his firing, the
junior Young stepped in to save
his father and received the con
tents of the Distol in hia abdomen
At last accounts it was feared that
both the parties were fatally woun-
