An Important Political Charge in Indiana.

An election was held in Indiana Dec.
26th, to fila vacancy in the State Senate,
caused by the death of the former In
cumbent. The district in which the
election was hell has heretofore been
Democratic and in view of the fact
that the political control of the senate
depended OIL the result, unusual efforts
We're made by the Democrats to elect
their candidate. The election of the
Democrat would have made the senate
Democratic by one, while the election
of the Republican candidate makes it
Republican by one majority. The dis
trict is composed of the counties of
Madison and Delaware; Madison at the
presidential election in November gave
Tilden over 300 majority, while ON the
26th of December ita%gave Doxey, Re-
publican candidate, one hundred and
sixty majority, thus securing his cleo
tion.

1T bad men, who mislead them and

the communities Of which they are a

the Southern colored men, was so
impressed with the condition of Mis-
sissippi politics that he advised the
colored leaders In that State to NOM
inat~ none but leading white men of
