with him for twenty-five years. |
have ever known him to be a true
friend to the oppressed race; never
knew him to strike one while he had
them in his charge. He is held in
the highest regard by the colored
people OF Kentucky; whenever they
hear of his coming to Kentucky, they
shout for joy to meet him.
In my acquaintance Of twenty five
years with him, never knew him to
begin thing without first giving it
due consideration, whereby he has
ever prospered.
If he be elected for Governor of the
State Of Indiana, he will do nothing
to interfere with any business what
ever, unless it be contrary to the
statutes of the State. Although he
was STAKEHOLDER, he bore arms to
liberate them.
Gen. J. M. Shackelford is q man OF
influence and uErivaled eloquence
His ability to act in the capacity OF
Governor is unquestionable, and il
every colored man of influence will
use every exertion to place General
Shackelford ut the head Of the ticket
they will gain an everlasting benefit
to the State. Respectfully,

You Are Mighty Right.
ICrawfordsville Journal.

The Review proposes to have all
the colored citizens of Montgomery
county use their efforts to drive back
colored refugees who may see proper
to come here. If that paper expects
the colored people of Montgomery
county to join the Democratic party
in mean and contemplate prescrip-
ton of their own race, through the
mean and sordid motives to which it
appeals, it will find itself very badly
deceived. There may be white Dem
ocrats who would attempt to drive
the poor fugitive, in search of peace
full home, back to the blood hound
and the shotgun of the Mississippi
bulldozer, but it will search creation
over in vain for a negro mean enough
to assist him in his inhuman attempt.
The same spirit would have placed
Zach Williams, Harry Woodfork, Lem
GIBSON, Eph Wheeler, Aaron McCrea
and Dick Hiatt back into slavery, 10
Fisher and Geo. Nilest to Germany,
and George Markley and Ben Silvers
to the States they came from. Such
theory is Know Nothingism gone
to seed.

Last week an article was published in

colOred chap, who came out from Virgin
la some time ago, to help fill the places of
the miners who were on strike at Bra
iii, Clay county. 1t was all right, sup.
pose, for him to come, but he thinks it
terrible wrong for the oppressed and suf-
fering people O. the South to come north,
where they can procure labor and get pay
for it, and be protected in their rights.
Now, we would say to Mr.. Monroe, that
all the immigrants we have had the pleas
ure to meet and converse with, are his su-
periors in every respect, and if bis sympa-
thies are with the Yazooites, let him pack
his traps and 60 back to the land of shot

Likes Our Logic.
lChristisn Rscorder.l

"To day exclaims the Sentinel, If
there were no negroes in Indianapo-
lis, the price of white labor would be
at least one-third higher
Why, bless your idiotic soul, if there
were no white people in Indianapolis,
negro labor would be at least two
thirds higher.
If there were no newspapers in In
dianapolis, the Sentinel might have a
comfortable circulation. Ifthere were
no Republicans in indianapolis, the
Democratic party might have ma
jority. This is logic gone to seed, but
it is the kind that abounds in the pre-
JUDGED pate of the writer of the above
Observation-Disclosures Leader.
This is the logic of the Indianapo-
lis Leader, one of the spiciest of our
exchanges. Locke himself could not
beat it.

Our Immigrants.

1t is true that large majority of
the colored immigrants from the
South are poor, but why? 1t is be-
cause they have been cheated out of
their labor and their prosperity for
years. They come to us with hands that
are able and willing to work, and all
they ask is employment. Having been
robbed, they arc without money, and
need few days entertainment, and
perhaps some clothing to protect them
from the rigors of winter, but when
they find homes they will take care
of themselves. No race of people
show lower rate of public paupers
than they, and it is an insult to good
sense and common fairness to call
them such. ~

EYged I'm the Street.

A young man residing in the central
portion OF the city, has for some time
past been paying attention to q. young
lady residing in the neighborhood ofSev-
enth and Bennett streets. His visits, 1t
seems, have been quite Unpleasant to the
girls brother, and few days ago he, by
by accident, overheard that he was going
TO cahon a certain evening, and accord
ingly set about way Of showing his dis
approval. Accordingly he called upon
several Of his companions and secured
their promise of assistance. He then
went to q grocery store and purchased
several dozen eggs of the most question
able appearance he could find. In the
evening when the hour arrived for the
visit Of the young suitor, he marshallsd
his companions behind some trees not
far from the house, and set the basket of
eggs within easy reach. They then wait
ed for their intended victim to appear.
They had not long to wait. In few
minutes he came around the corner, neat
and fresh in nice summer suit, white
tie and polished shoes. just as he as
cended the steps and was about TO knock
at the door, the signal was given and per-
feet yolley Of eggs came flying through
the air, and many of them few with ap-
palling directness, striking the young
man in different parts and bespattsrine
him completely. He turned at once and
ran TO escape the ugly missiles Of the
crowd of r0wdies and as he went around
the corner received parting volley. His
clothing was completely ruined and his
feeling hurt more than his apparel.

Mr. Ford's Contract.

Yesterday Mr.. p. j. Ford, the contrAc-'
Tor for levelling the old basin, held .
con ference, in Philadelphia, with the
building Committee OF the Levy Court,
and the architect for the new sCo
House, Mr.. T. p. Chandler, in relation
to his contract. The subject was dis
cussed and consider ed, but NO definite
conclusion arrived ar 9nd another con-
{, renee will soon be held. Meanwhile
work will be suspended until some posi-
tive arrangement is effected between the
contractor and the Building Commit
tee.
Mr.. Ford says he would not have
thought of endeavoring to get the Con-
tract altered in the slightest degree had
it not been for the difference between the
actual hickness Of the walls and the
thickr ess as stated in the specifications.
From the latter he made his estimate,
and they stated that the walls were
"aboul 81 feet thick at the bottom aud
two feet at the top;" but when he got to
work on them he found them Six feet
thick at the bottom and four feet thick
at the top. On this account Mr.. Ford
thinks he ought to be released from tbs
contract or allowed more money for the
performance oft.

About the Water wheel.

Messrs. Paynter, Taylor, Jones and
Evans of the Water COMMITTEES of City
Council, and Chief Engineer Mcintyre. i.
went to Philadelphia, to inspect the
water works at that city, and gather new
ideas in regard to replacing the overshot
wheel at the City Mills pumping station
Chief Engineer McFadden, Of Phila-
delphia, met them at the dspIt and es-
corted them to FAirmount Park, where
they inspected the different water wheels
At this place all the Overshot wheels
have been taken out and turbine wheels
have been put in, which give much sat
iSfa cti On. The committee also had talk
with Emmeline Geylins, the manufactu.
rer of the wheels, and as the conference
was not of long duration, they left him
with the understanding that he was to
come to Wilmington to-day, and bring
estimates and Agures giving the wheel
capacity. The wheel in QUESTION is used
altogether by the Philaeelphia water de-
partment, and 10 known as the Dejonva
wheel.
Ar. Geyline is a very practical man
and has made more water wheels, prob
ably, than any man in the country. He
has put in many at Dupo nts' powder
works and at the Jessup & Moore Paper
Co.'s mills.
The question that is bothering the wa
ter committee Is the advisability of put
ting in another overshot wheel or d
getting turbine wheel instead. Th,
only thing that will keep them from
adopting the latter course will be tn,
cost, but that will not be known unit
the conference is held With Mr. Geyline
is held. When this is over 1t is hkel,
that definite conclusion will be arriv.
ed at and an ordinance will be presented
in Council authoriEing the borrowing o
money to put In q new wheel.

the difference in cost. The present de
