THERE $ A LAND IMMORTAL.

There is n land immortal
The bcauliiuI Of lands;
Beside its ancient portal
a sentry Grimly stands.
He only can undo it,
And open wide the door;
And mortals who pass through it
Are mortal ncvcrmore.
That glorious land is Heaven.
And death the sentry grim;
The Lord thereof has given
The opening keys 10 him,
And ransom'd spirits, signing
Aud sorrow lul Tor sin.
Pass through The gate in dying.
And freely enter in.
Though dark and drcar the passage
That lendcth 10 the gate,
Yet grace attends the message
70 souls that watch and wait;
And AT the tim appointed
a messenger comes down,
And guides the Lords anointcd
From cross to glory's crown.
Their signs are lost in singing;
They're blessed in their tears;
Their journey lleavenward winging.
They leave on earth their fears.
Dcath-like an angel seeming,
I'VE welcome thee" they cry;
Ii cir face with glory bcaming,

The Indianapolis leader. (Indianapolis, Ind.) 1879-1890, 1880-05-01

The Pennsylvania Legislative bri-
bers have been sentenced to a years
solitary confinement at hard labor in
the penitentiary. The sentence is a
righteous one, and considering the
social standing, and wealth of some
Of the criminals, it is some
what remarkable, to say the least,
and shows a healthy growth of pub
lie opinion. Kemble, the chief crimi-
nvl, is the author of the somewhat
famous statement used in a letter of
recommendation given to one of his
henchmen; "He understands addition
division and silence" This senti-
ment fully illustrates the character of
Kemble, and the corrupt crew who
for years have controlled legislation
in Pennsylvania by corrupt influ-
ences. 1t is to be regretted that every
venal scamp of legislator who has
betrayed his constituents and bartered
his vote can not be associated with
Kemble for the next year as their in
famous action richly merits.

OHIO.

On Wednesday the Ohio Republi
cans held their State convention and
chose delegates to Chicago. The op-
position to Mr.. Sherman was able to
muster 200 votes-something less than
One-third of the whole number of
the delegates. The vote for Mr..
Beatty, Mr.. Shermans most out
spoken opponent is taken as the
test. The convention neither in
structed the delegates nor adopted
the unit rule, the majority contenting
themselves with resolution request
ing" the convention to support Mr..
Sherman.
The convention was enthusiastic
and harmonious, and though several of
the district delegates are Blaine men,
the moderation of the majority in the
convention will no doubt be the
means of securing Mr. Sherman the
solid vote Of the delegation on the
first ballot.

''The census takers should be instructed
to go infinitely into all the details of the
condition of the freedman. The property
they own, the form of that property, the
kind of houses they dwell in, the taxes
they pay, the education they receive
the churches they support, the watches,
jewelry and personal ornaments they wear

they pursue and the wages they earn as

can throw light on their condition should

future ,mparisons. IN. Y. Herald.
The above was published in the Herald
as early as January or February last year.
But long before that the Virginia Star had
advocated just such course as that shad-
owed forth by the Herald
We have quoted from the Herald to
show that we do not stand alone in our
ideas as to what the census takers should
accomplish.
1t is of the greatest Importance that an
accurate and complete list of the property
owned by colored people, their products
the amount of taxes paid by them, and, as
the Herald says, Everything which can
throw light on this condition" should be
taken. But put the greatest stress
upon those enumerated by us, to witt
amount of property of every description
owned by our people, taxes paid an their
productions, because there are three
things which our enemies have traduced
us about. They have contended that we
do not own any property, that we pro-
duce nothing and that We pay no taxes.
And yet they have taken the greatest pains
and precaution to mix up our statistics
with those of the white people 80 that it is
impossible to arrive at the truth of the
matter. They taken great pains to sepa
rate registration and poll lists, jury lists,
ETC., but when it comes to those statistical
lists which would give clear data as to the
amount Of property held, taxes paid by
and production of colored people, they
are most ehiectually aud beautifully
mixed.
We invite the earnest consideration of
those propositions by the colored press of
the country, and if they be worthy and are
of the importance we conceive them to be,
let it do its duty in bringing it to the at
tention OF the proper authorities. We in.
woke the aid of our brethren of the press
in this matter. II this opportunity 60 by
unlmproved, there will not be another

because we are colored will be en-
dured no longer. We should put
forward our best men, and emphat-
ically demand that they be recognized
in the distribution of the official hon.
ors. Let our colored voters in every
county in the State, where our vote
is of any consequence, put forward at
least one honest, well qualified color
ed man for an appropriate position,
and soc that he has tho backing of
the whole colored community. If,
then, the request for recognition is
denied, let the man who denies it be
labeled for future reference. Mark
you, we do not ask you to hold the
party responsible, but the man, the
individual, who values you for moth
ing but your vote. Patronage is
given to the German element in the
Republican party as recognition of
their voting strength; it is given to
the Irish, with the hope of winning
them from the Democrats; and it
must not be denied us simply because
we are colored. We shall have more
to say on this subject as time grows

DEMAND RECOGNITION.

The time has come for our colored
voters all over the country to urgent
ly demand recognition in the distri-
button Of patronage from the men
whom they elect to Office. There are
a large number of counties in the
State of Indiana and oil over the
North and West, in which Republican
candidates for office could have no
reasonable hope of election, were it
not for the colored vote; yet when
these men are elected to Office they
almost universally refuse to confer
any subordinate appointments upon
colored men. They will appoint Irish.
men, all Of whom vote the Democrat
ic ticket; Germans, who are about
evenly divided betwe IN the two par
ties; but the Negro, who votes the
Republican ticket solidly, gets moth
ing. IF he applies for anything, he
is politely told that it is "too soon''
for colored men to hold Office, or, pos
sibly. he may be offered an engage
ment to sweep the office and polish
the spittoons. wx
This kind of business should be
stopped. Politicians must understand
that discrimination against us simply

sEMI-WEEKLY LEADER.

The publishers of the Leader have
under consideration the propriety OF
issuing the Leader twice week, on

is something the colored people of
the United States have never had, and
we in our youth have been somewhat
lothe to make the venture.
The matter, however, will be
thoroughly canvassed, and the prob
abilities are that the adventure will
be made, especially if the increase in
our circulation continues at present
rates
