manded jury trial, which facts show
that our City Ordinances are ac-
quiesced i'm as right and just; which
should certainly be source of con-
graduation to the Common Council,
and especially so when they see the
dissatisfaction and litigation arising
from the City Ordinances in adjoin-

the City Treasurer. Respectfully

indianapolis has been red hot
for the past week-politically. The
Democratic council, fearing defeat on
the old lines, re-districted the city
seven days before the election, and
even after the voting places had been
announced and the judges appointed.
The act is no doubt illegal, but, as
such games are'usually unsuccessful,
the Republicans are fighting the
bummers on their chosen ground.
To-day's work will decide whether
the city is to be governed by the
party of law and order, or by the
bummers and hOodlums.

Mathew placed on record the ap.

| -maIneW placeu on record the dp'
pended sentiment, nearly 1000 years
ago, Every kingdom divided against
itself is brought to desolation; and
every city or house divided against
itself, shall not stand" The truth OF
this sentiment was most fully illus
trated at the church on last Sabbath
when, by the bigoted audacity of a
couple of beings in human form, the
Union Sabbath school, which had
/ been i'm successful operation all win
ter, was brought to "desolation."
The public announcement, by a
christian professor in Sabbath school,
on last Sabbath, that he did not be-
lieve in Union Sabbath school. that
he would not support one, and that
he objected to holding one in the M.
E. church. for it (the church, was
built by the Methodists and no body
else had any right to it, was rather
startling. The gentleman seemed to
have forgotten or mad not learned
that in union there is strength. I'm
ion is the most powerful word in the
English language. A harmonious
euphony vibrates from its sound. An
enchanting halo surrounds it. 1t was
the word that brought order out Of
chaos. Its melody still echoes in
heaven, and will through the cease
less ages of eternity. 1t is the magic
word that has rallied millions to
deeds of daring. 1t has been seized
by each successive combination Of
the human family to accomplish de-
sired objects, good and evil. All have
perceived that union is strength, that
united they might stand divided
they must fall. What language thrills
through the soul Of both patriot and
christian like "Our Union, the watch
word of 1776? And shall this union
be preserved to millions yet unborn,
or will we, like nations that have
gone before us, suffer unity and pa
triotism to be strangeled, yes bassly
suffocated, by bigotry-by party
spirit and internal dissensions? Let
Union" be the watchword from the
White House to the rude cabin Of the
backwoods- man, from the Atlantic to
the Pacific, from the northern prov
inces Of Queen Victoria to the sunny
cline Of the Montezumas. Let chris
tians make it their watchword in
their conflict with the man of sin.

Some person with a disposition
to injure the Democratic party, has
put it into the head of Springer, a
member of Congress from the 18th
Dist. Illinois. to bring charges against
Senator o. p. Morton, accusing him
with being defaulter to the U. s.
government, in the sum of $3.50, 600
The money is said to have been used
by Senator Morton, when he was
Governor Of this State. The charge
has been published in the New York
World on information given by
Springer. This will make it neces-
sary for Senator Morton to show up
the Indiana Democracy in their true
light, as they were during the rebel
lion. The Senator is anxious to be
Investigated.
