THE Evansville Journal, with its
characteristic efrontery, boasts of the
Republican victory In Vanderburgh
County, but hasn't the 'cheek" to
tell how it was effected. 1t does not
tell the people thai, although but about
four hundred and fifty blacks were
enumerated, there were about eight
hundred black voters. A paper that
can boast of victory gained by such
means, would not hesitate to do
worse. Be of good cheer, Democrats
of Vanderburgh your grievances are
great, but redress is certain.--New
Harmony Register.
We are not so unreasonable as TO
expect a paper, that mas gOt INTO the
habit Of lying during the campaign,
to reform and tell the truth so soon
after the election, therefore the above
falsehood does not surprise US. There
was nothing like eight hundred col
ored men voted in this County at the
last election. The colOredvote didnot
exceed the number of colored men re-
turned by the Census-takers. But
we do not expect the Register to tell
the truth about the matter.

the statement. that he retired from

The whole tuildiug is pnsuited to the
times and is not at all safe. The library
is Of piece with the courtroom. Nothing
saves it from a like fate but that the books
are near the walls. We see no remedy
but 20 remove the entire interior of the
building and reconstruct it. Andsif that
is to be done it will be a great deal better
to build new Capitol.
This ca,,;;mity is warning against trust
ing floors chat are not well tried and proved
to be strong and capable OF bearing the
weight Of all the human beings that can
stand upon them.
There are other rooms in the city be-
side the old Senate chamber that have not
been safe. With the increase of popula
ton the architecture of the city must be
changed. The public should be better
protected by law. No place of public as.
semblages of any kind, whether for State
purposes or amusements, or churches, o.
even fairs, should be allowed to be useo
thus until a proper investigation of it
capacity and strength is made
The public safety demands this. and W.

Thursday Morning, May 8. 1870.

We publish in this issue description
of the awful calamity which visited our
State Capitol on last Wednesday, includ-
ing list Of the killed and partial list
of the wounded. We do not feel like
dwelling upon the sad scene, which in
one short moment rushed SO many of our
best raen from the prime and vigor of
life, to the darkness and gloom of death
The youth. the middle aged and the old
were lndiscriminately buried in the ruins
of the Capitol. The incidents transpir-
ing in that brief period were of the most
affecting character. The loud calls for
relief. the hurried and ssiaed prayers, the
affectionate messages of love to wife and
children, the groans ofagony and suffer
ing, all combined, fell confusedly upon
the ear, melting the stoutest hearts, and
exciting the tears of deepest sympathy
From many sections of the North, words q
sympathy and material aid for the suffer-
ing hare been sent. These acts of benev-
client kindness strike tender chord il
the hearts of. our afflicted people and
will be cherished with feelings Of the
deepest gratitude.
