HORRIBLE DEATH.
How the Negroes Who Visit Indl

An Evan.ville Picking Vat.

Correspondence of the Courier-Journal.
EVANSVILLE, IND, Sept. IL
Apropos of the fate that awaits the
colored voter in this state, l propose
to give you q brief sketch of the or
g%aniZation which has been Il greater
terror to the negroes in Indiana han
the alleged white league ver was in
the south. 1t is q mistake about the
medical college being engaged in this
infamous slaughter of the negroes.
Our schools rank as high as those OF
any state in the Union, so far as the
personnel is concerned but the
students who attend them are prob
ably not exceptions to the general
rule
During the year Of 1872 there was
q great deal of excitement here about
the cemeteries being robbed of the
dead, and the excitement rose to
such a pitch that the police regula-
lions became very strict concerning
suspicious looking vehicles. After
night the surveillance was ~redoubled,
and it became almost impossible for
the school here to obtain subjects for
dissectlon.. About this time there
appeared here q daredevil Bohemian
called Bradnof, who proposed to
supply the. college with subjects. He
associated with him two students
who had been dismissed from one Of
the schools at Louisville for unpro-
fessional conduct. The dangers which
they had 10 encounter made the sub
3ects scarce, and of course they
brought very high prices. The young
men made a great deal of money, and
were encouraged to extend the bust
ness. The conditions which made
the prospects of success so t%lattering
were superinduced by the preslden-
tial canvass which had arisen TO
fever-heat all over the state. The
republicans were very doubtful about
the state, as the democrats were can
Wasting it closely with their best
speakers. Everything fair and fsul
was res0rted to by the republicans,
and it was during this canvass, prob
ably, that the first systematic impor-
tstion Of negro voters was made into
this state. They where brought here
in large numbers on the Evansville
aud Cairo packets and were ensconced
at the various negro boarding houses
On Water street. The greater por-
tion Of them were At Phil. Ham,
burgers. a Hebrew who kept a negro

He:had maintained his responsibility
up to this time. but now he was con
stahtly- seen about these negro

his Former colleagues ~osteDslbiy
broke with him f; but the fact that
the Medical College here was being
supplied with fine negro subjects, left
ne doubt in the minds of those who
knew iasthiDg or two, that the three
men were at work again together. No
one knew certainly, of. course, but it
was supposed that these men cnticed

GOOD TIMES.

A New York letter of Friday says:
''If the testimony of leading merchants
in wholesale trade is worth anything,
business OF all kinds has rarely been so
brisk as it has been this week. and this,
too, notwlthstand the exciting diver
sions of the presidential campaig n. As
regards dry goods, which leads all other
trades, it is safe to say that shipments
to the south, southwest and west, thus
far, are In excess OF any season since
1873. The transportation companies are
all busy. night and day"

A Democratic Flag Torn Down Inc

from the Morgan County Gazette.l

From the Morgan County Gazette.l
A large asg. bearing the names of
Hancock and English. was stretched
across the street from the court house to
Kelsey's bank on Monday morning.
Ryland and Cosgrovs were expected
here on that day, aud the democrats
with pardonable pride hoisted their
standard. Mr.. Ryland did speak to a
large and enthusiastic audience in the
afternoon, and addressed an equally
large audience of ladies in the evening,
In the meantime the flag was lett float
ing over the street., none dreaming that
there were any mean enough to destroy
it. But they reckoned without their
host. At late hour during the night
the banner was torn down and slash
ed and cut to pieces in a shameful man
ner. Part Of tho flag, bearing the
OF Hancock and English, was
carried near the cemetarY and thrown
carelessly about the stake OF a rail fence.
Comment is unnecessary. Intense ex-
element and Indignation was produced
by this wanton outrage. The flag was
hastily mcnded and at once holsted,
where it now floats, with rents and
seams, an evidence OF the contemptu-
BUSINESS which characterizes some men.

THE NEXT NEW SENATE.
IFrena- the N. Y. SUM-

From the N. Y. SUM- =
The political complexion Of the
next congress is a matter of great
importance. According to the pre-
cedents, the party which elects the
president will be likely to carry the
house. Many changes will take
place in the senate. Some san
guine republicans assert that they
will capture a majority of that body.
The senate is composed of 76 mem
bers. In the present senate there are
43 democrats and SO republicans,
giving the former q majority of 10.
Ths terms of 25 senators expire with
the present congress-, of whom IA are
democrats and II are republicans.
We append their names:
Democrats: Eaton, Connecticut {;
B.ysrd, Delaware; Jones. Florida
Mcdonald, Indiana; Whyte, Mary
land Cockrell, Missouri Randolph,
Now Jersey Herman, New York !;
Thurman. Ohio Wallace, Pennsyl-
vauia ; Bailey, Tennessee; Maxey,
Texas Withers, Virginia ; Hereford,
West Virginia.
Republicans: Booth, California {;
Hanlin, Maine Dawes, Massachu-
setts; Baldwin Michigan; Mcmillan,
Minnesota I; Bruce. Mississippi Pad
dock, Nebraska Sharon, Nevada =,
Burnside. Rhode Island; Edmunds,
Vermont Cameron, Wisconsin.
In c~anvassing the probabilities as to
the successsrs of the senator's whose
terms are ssou te expire, we will
give the republicans the benefit of
all the doubts. We will concede that
the eleven states above named, which
are now represented by republicans,
will re-elect republicans, excepting
Mississippi, California, aud Nevada.
In the former, Bruce, the colcred
senator, will certainly be supplanted
by a democrat. Booth, Of the Pacific
slope, is likely to be compelled to re-
linquished his seat to a politician of
another type. Sharon, the silver
clad senator of Nevada, has so grossly
neglected his duties that he may not
be able to buy his way through the
rotten borough legislature of that
state.
Six democrat tic seats are III peril.
Thurman's is to be filed by Garfield,
while perhaps Eaton, Randolph, ker-
man,, and Wallace may have to give
Douald will be accounted as having
doue veil If he u his reelection.

badly as this for the democrats ; nut
for present purposes we decide all the
chances against them.

democrats would lose six of THERE,
making a democratic net loss of three
seats. This would give to the demo-
Gratis forty members Of the next SEN

majority of four. In no event will
the democrats be likely to face d
worse showing than this; while with
the strong probabilities that they
will secure the seats in New Jersey

Connecticut and Pennsylvania, the
prospect is that they will have Il ma
