a White Majority.

Columbus Democrat.
Just before the privilege of suffrage was
conferred upon the negro, Indiana was
carried by the Republicans by from 1000
to 10000. The suffrage law added about
$4,000 TO that party. Still. the Democrats
made gains steadily till 10 1872 they car
ried the state. OF the white vote the Dem
ocrats had majority in that year of more
than 10000. Every year since then the
negro vote has been augmented, until now,
from the best estimates estimable, We may
safely say that there are not less than
$4,000 negro voters in Indiana, and as the
Democracy has majority OF from 5000
to 10000 over both. it is readily seen that
Dur party has in the state preponderaDce
of the white vote over the Republicans OF
nearly or quite $4,000. The hope of sue
cess of the Republican party rests alone
upon the vote of lot of field hands who
are toted about like cattle with nubbin
of corn, and led to the polls to vote as
sheep are led to the shambles.

Editors Herald:
In your issue Of the let inst. the fol-
lowing statement is made, headed
1.-THE suicide:"
At 4 O'Clock yesterday afternoon the
cOroner's jury resumed the examination
as to the cause of the death of George w.
Drake. Many of the points gone over
were the same as given on "Wednesday
morning. The pistol was identified IS
having been sold to man of the descrip-
tion of the deceased, with the cartridges,
while evidence was introduced showing
that he had been seen in saloons on differ
ent occasions, when he acted like one de-
mented, wringing his hands, looking at
persons, aud saying THAT'S no HARM"
mo harm intended" and then shaking
hands with entire strangers, etc. Mr..
George A. Meesrs, yesterday, made come
experiments with pistol like the one
found, firing at human hair, and he states
that at a distance of six inches the hair
was not effected in the slightest; and at
three iinches it was just scorched. DR..
Benedict testified that he could not tell
whether the hair near the wound was
burned or not, as it was matted with
blood, which had dried. The jury re-
turned a verdict that he came to his
death by a bullet shot in his head, from
hands unknown. While many still be-
lieve that it was murder, the preponde-
rance Of testimony seems to indicate that
it was suicide.
Now, 1 am not responsible for the
verdict of the Jury, consisting OF
Messrg. Burns, Golding and McCurdy,
yet in justice to these gentle
men, deem it my duty to correct
some of the misstatements made in
the foregoing article, as it was evil
IDENTIFY written by some one ignorant
Of the facts presented and on which
The verdict was predicated. For evil
1ence of this beg leave to refer you
10 Judge Piper, the Drs. Benedict,
Mr.. Ed. Harris and a number of
others who we're present during the
investigation.
First-Many of the points were
not the same as given on Wednesday
morning.
Second-The pistol was not "sold
% a man of the description OF de-
but TO a tall man wearing a
touched hat.
Third-EVidence was not Intro
luced showing that he (deceased) had
,een seen in saloons on different oc-
,asions, when he acted like one de.
nented, wringing his hands, looking
It persons, and saying. That's no

In regard to the experiment with |

irst day of the inquest, Mr.. McCurdy |
ired at a newspaper six inches

SOthern,

The great comedian, 5othern, ap-
pears tonight. The perform ance is
an assured success. as the sale OF re-
served seats on Friday was very
heavy. Mr.. Sothern is accompanied
by large company of frst-class per-
formers, and his expenses therefore
are necessarily great; for this reason
it has become absolutely necessary to
charge extra for admission, and q
new scale of prices has been adopted,
which will be found in the advertise
ment, together with the names Of
the members Of the company, and
the theatres from which they hail. Il
is unnecessary to attempt to enlighten
the public as to Mr.. Sothern's ability,
as his reputation is world wide. and
his name and the character OF Lord
Dundreary, in "Our American
Cousin" the bill for tonight. are and
will remain insepsrable, as the great.
ness of the character is the offspring
of his kenius. 1t is also unnecessary
to argue that a comedian of his stand
ing would be accompanied by only a
frst-class troupe; that is a natural
inference. There is every assurance
of a crowded house, and for those
that appreciate high comedy, and
especially of Mr.. Sothern's order, an
evenings enjoyment is certain.
