1t is reported upon good authority that
the Democrats are importing unscruplous
colored men from Baltimore and other
Southern cities to this State, to vote the
Democratic ticket. This won't work; the
colored Republicans will spot this class Of
voters on election day.

the ex-slaveholders Of the South, should so

friends do likewise; and thereby assist in
placing Indiana in the list of Republican
States.
We have been informed by Democrat

The would-be Sheriff of Marion Count,

Quite splessing little episode took place
last Wednesday morning at the residence Of
DIR. T. b. Harvey. on North Alabama
Street. Captain o. S e. Wall, of Wash
ington City, who thirty years ago was an
intimate friend and playfellow of the Doc
tor, called and asked to see him. When
asked to send up his name he declined to do
so. The Doctor soon appeared. When the
Captain began to state his ills, the Doctor
gave him peculiar look and invited him
into his private office and in few moments
the friends who parted in boyhood were
united in manhood. DIR. Harvey's father
was Captain Wallis guardian; the Doctors
mother gave Captain Wall his first lessons.

Being sworn, she deposeth and saith:
Five years ago this coming October lived
at "A West Georgia street; the lot, 43 by
200, having u cottage-house thereon; am a
colored woman, as You see; not educated,
can not sign my name, and was washing for
a living; have four children. Some weeks
before the time mention, Mr. William II.
English came to my house one morning, and
commenced by saying be was afraid would
get into trouble and lose my house; that
Georgia street was to be improved, graded,
paved, curbed, sidewalks laid out and per-
haps sewer built, and the taxes would be
80 heavy that he was afraid I could not pay
them, and that he ought to tell me about
the matter. He came several times talking
in this way, and finally said he would trade
for my property, which was left me by my
father and husband, and fix me so l would
not have to work so hard. He said he would
give me double house on Alvord avenue
which was renting for $40 per month, $40
each side; that could live in one side, rent
the other for enough to live easier than by
washing, and that he would pay $500 in
cash to boot. l was scared about my house
because Mr.. English talked to me so, and
took him up.
1 NEVER SAW THE COLOR OF BUT 500 OF
THAT MONEY.
He told me that 500 was enough cash,
which he paid down, and then said that he
knew where could invest the balance to ad-
vantage. The next morning John l..
Hanna, street contractor, came to me with
a note from English as .he man 1 was to
loan the money to, and let him have it.
He went into bankruptcy shortly after, but
has paid me few dollars since.
In the afternoon about O'Clock, when
the papers were made out, told Mr..
English that would move up to Alvord
street as soon as could get ready. He said
that there was time enough for me to get out
that afternoon, and moved, though / had
to rent some rooms to live in for a month.
He said he had man to move in the next
morning, and that man was Mr.. Walter
Rivers, his agent, who is living there now.
The house l got from him was only renting
for nine dollars month, each side, and the
most l ever got was eight dollars. j don't
like to talk about this, but thought him 8
good man, and one who would not deceive
