Dorothy Alexander, aged "
years, died at the residence of her
daughter, "a North Marion street,

see where she resided until a
few years ago, when she came to
this city where she has resided
with her daughter, Mrs. McPheron.
BY her universal kindness she had
gathered about her a circle of
warm friends, who deeply lament
her loss. Her death was Pc
culiarly distressing to her family
and friends, caused, as they think,
by the use Of patent medicine"
which was recommended to her, az
being . remedy for a cough, the
poison Of which they have reason
to think caused her death. But.
dying as she did, in full hope of
the life eternal, her children look
forward to the meeting with her,
in the home to which she has gone,
where sorrow nor death do not
enter.

fey.
From the Evansville Journal.
The North Carolina Democrats have
already addressed themselves sQuarely
to the congenial task Of overthrouing
the fifteenth Amendment. The Legs
lature Of the same State recently
passed an act to amend the charter of
Wilmington. which 90 infaMously
gerrymanders the voting precincts a.
to enable $50 white votes in that city
to elect six Aldermen, and render il
impossible for $50 white voters, sup
plemented by $500 colored voters. to
elect more than three aldermen; and
which also indirectly puts it IN the
D,wer of these $50 white voters TO elet
the Mayor beyond tho possibility OF
the remaining a.Oa0 electors to prevent
it. This is a fair illustration Of the
Democratic idea of equal rights, and .
fair specimen ofthe way in which
Southern Democratic lawmakers re-
gard their oath to support the Consti-
tuition Of the United States. guaran-
teeing suffrage to colored and white
citizens on equal terms. We are glad
to notice that motion has been made
in tho United States Circuit Court. to
prohibit the holding OF an election
under this charter. on the ground that
it practically disfranchises the colored
people. and that there il every pros
pect that the infamous plot will tail.

What it really means, we have
pointed out in our city government. to
be for the Democratic Mayor to vote
$500 grab to his salary-buy
maps on private account and make the
city pay for them, and play the devil
generally, in a small pilfering way.
Here's what the same term means, as
demonstrated by Democratic action
in the House of Representatives, as is
verified by the following official re-
port to that body:
committee to investigate the number
of employees Of the House and the
amounts drawn by them. reported
that notwithstanding when the door
keeper secured committee rooms at
were to be furnished with them, n.
E. Alexander, had drawn $3.50 as
janitor of committee rooms, in direct
contradiction to the instructions of
the House as expressed by resolutions;
that's s. W. Buskirk had drawn $3.50
as stationery and engrossing clerk; :"
that w. c. Moriarty had drawn $3.50
as warrant clerk and no such office
CABLE, anu L. H. CollltdA llao oIaWH
$50 as minute clerk without doing
any work in fact. Sullivan is young
man who works at the Union Depot
at $35 per month. and has not baen
engaged at the capitol At any time.
The committee recommended that n.
E. Alexander be discharged and be
required to return to the treasury the
money drawn: that the name of L. r.
Sullivan be stricken from the list. and
he be required to return the money so
drawn; that the law be SO amended as
to dispense with the Office of paper
folder, the clerks page and all COM
mlttee clerks except one for committee
on ways and means. In the case of
8. w. Buskirk the report sets forth
that although there is no such Office
as stationery clerk" and although
Mr.. Buskifk is neither in the list of
engrossing clerks, nor recognized By
the principal clerk as being in any
way an employe of the House, yet we
find by the certificate marked e that
he has been engaged as engrossing
clerk. No recommendation Il made
in his case. 1t appears that he drew
$50 AZ stationery clerk, and so a.
engrossing clerk. II is due the
Auditor and Speaker to say that all
these warrants were issued upon GER
tiiicates made out by Noriarty. and
attested by him as warrant clerk"
which we're then signed by the Speak
er.
Mr.. Davis moved that the report be
spread on record Agreed to.
Mr.. Crane moved that the commit
tee be discharged.

PaSt Prfnrfux-A "reminiscences.
The first effort of putting on city
airs, was the codifcation and print
ing book of ordinances for Rich
mond, and a. it was considered at
that day TO be an extensive job, an
ordinance (nearly the same rs that
published in another column) was
passed providing for the letting ont
by contract. Hammond, of the
"Broadaxe," Elder. of the "Jeffer-
sonian," and ourself were the bidders
the FIRST bid was p cents per 1000
ms, composition, and % cents per
token" press work Elders bid was
IS cents for composition. and IS cents
for press work, and ours was SS3 for
each class of work. Hammond, being
the lowest bidder was awarded the
printing; but he soon found he could
not do it at that price and gave it mp.
That pleasant, afible and agreeable
Democrat, A. F. Scott, Esq, was
Chairman of the Committee on Print
ing at that time, and, instead of CIV
ing the printing to the Palladium as
the next lowest bidder, he went to
Jim Elder and agreed with him to do
the printing, provided he'd do it for
thirty-three cents, just onc-third OF .
cent lower than our bid, and Jim did
the job; and, if our recollection serves
US right, the Council, after the COM
pletion of the job, because Elder went
to that body with tears in his eyes
and complained that he had lost
money on the job, took pity on him
and stopped his blubbering by award
ing him an extra allowance De-
mocracy Is the same, yesterday, to-
day and forever y

Another War.

There are those in the Northern
States who pretend to believe that
there is no danger of another war in
this ceuntry-just as there were many
of the same opinion, previous to the
firing on Fort Sumter. However,
this May be, there are plenty of people
in the South who do not even attempt
to conceal their belief that such will
be the case. Gen. Forrest of the late
Confederate Army, and the hero OF
the Fort Pillow massacre, made .
speech few days ago at Mouldon,
Tennessee, In which he used this Ian
suagei .n
war, and my policy would be to raise
the black flag, with the skull and
cross-bones on it, and not leave q Re-
publican. white or black, alive in the
State"
A late number of the Louisville
Courier-Journal-a paper published
right on the borders of Indiana, that
cannot even urge in extenuation for
its uteerances, the plea of those fur
Their South that it draws its patronage
from the fre-eaters of the Gulf States,
says;
When the war comes, az coming it
is, 1t shall be civil war. The North
must be the scene Of the conflict, not
the South. We have touched bottom.
We cannot be worsted. Adversely
has united US, and We wait the issue
which the radicals are pressing upon
the country with q degree Of COM
placency, not 10 say indifference. We
have been there. We know all about
it.
