Congress assembled on Monday.It is too early to make any predictions as to the issues that will engrossthe attentiou of our legislators duringthe coming session. It may bo safelyassumed, however, that the SouthernQuestion will not be in the back- -

Senator Gordon, of Georgia, re-

commends the 'possum game to thobrigadiers during the present sessionof congress. It won't work, MistahGawdon. When Jim Blaine and Kos- -

coo Conkling commence to apply thoash' "them animals" can't keep from

A Kentucky Democrat attemptedto havo a rebel claim allowed in theHouse on the very second day of the

seating G. S. Orth. If theyperpetrate this outrage will makefive thousand Republican Vvtcs in

Indiana. There is no necessity, how-

ever, for their anxiety for a majorityof votes D3 States in tho House. Thopresidential election will not go tothe House of Representatives, norwill a returning board be needed todecide. Tho solid North will be en-

tirely too man- - for the solid Squth.

Another attempt on the life oT tho

Czar of Russia was made the otherday by placing explosive materials onthe railroad over which he was tonasa on his visit to Moscow." Fortunately for the Czar, hojrevcr, histrain passed over the rathe in eafoty

half an hour caslier than was anticipated. The mine was exploded under the Imperial baggage train, producing a total wreck, but no lives

were lost. The despotic governmentof Russia is bearing legitimate fruit.

The Message.We present to our readers, to-da- y,

in full, the president's annual raes-iag- e.

It is a very valuable state pa-

per, abounding in wise suggestions.On the subject of suffrage the presi-

dent speaks with a boldness that is

commendable in the highest degree.He says, "I earnestly appeal to theintelligence and patriotism of all goodcitizens of every part of tho country,however much they may be dividediu opinions on other political subjects, to unite in compelling obedi-

ence to existing laws aimed at the

protection of tho right of suffrage."It should be noted that tho presidontuses the words "compelling obedi-

ence." This is good stalwart doc-

trine. Southern rebels know no lawbut force, and the Northern peoplehavo made up their minds to use thisargument with a lavish hand. Thepresident makes some wise suggest-ions on civil service reform, and re-

commend tho revival of tho civilservice commissiou.' Of the ques-

tions that puzzle and "worry thebrain of our1 office holder, nono ismore voxat'unis than that of civil ser-vice. Anything that can be donefor the elevation of this branch of

the machinery of our governmentwilj be a groat blessing to tho coun-

try. For a fuller consideration ofthe president's suggestions wo referour readers , to the messago itself,which is replete with good things.

Disbarred.Arc not the Democrats disbarred

from opposing tho immigration tothis State of colored people from theSouth? The brutal policy of theDemocratic party in tho South to-

ward colored people has made theexodus not only possible but a noces- -

sity. The liberty-lovin- g voters ofIndiana should not allowthemsolvesto bo deceived by the huo-and-cr- y ofDemocratic papers and politiciansabout colonization. The Democraticparty of this country, headed by thoold pro-slaver- y rebel clement of thoSouth, is making a desperate effortto get control of the government toretrieve br stratagem, fraud and vio-len- ce

what they lost in opon conflict.They have virtually annulled the con-

stitutional amendments in the Southby practically disfranchising the col-

ored people, and at the same time re-

taining the increased representationin congress, which their enumerationgives. With a free, fair election, theRepublicans could carry at least eightSouthern states; but these eight states,a majority ot whose voters are to-

day Republicans, are made solidlyDemocratic by methods and instrumentalities that would bring theirperpetrators to the gallows in anyland but ours. Having obtained con-

trol of tho South bv these infamouspersecutions and outrages, the Democrats now seek to make political capital out of the fact that the victims of

their brutality are seoking libertyand homes in the free North. Nointelligent voter can for one momentbe deceived by their absurd whin- -

ings about Republican colonization,and tho poor- - eolored people beingenticed from their homes by North-er- n

emmisaries This movement is thespontaneous protest of tho coloredpeople of tho South against tho devilish brutality to which they are sub-

jected, and it would be necessary topicket the Southern frontier with anarmy with loaded muskets and fixedbayonets, to prevent these peoplefrom leaving the cursed laud of their

A atbirth, trom which thev havo neverreceived anything but stripes andecars and brutality.

The Democrats arc disbarred fromcomplaining about the exodus. Itnever would have been thought ofbut for their stupid and fiendish persistence in inaugurating and keepingup a reign of terror throughout theSouth. They .seek to divert atten-

tion from the real question at issue

by attempting to prejudice tho whitevoters of the North against tho peo-

ple they have forced to abandon theirhomos. Tho real questions at issuearc whether tho voto of one Rebel-democr- at

of South Carolina or .Mis-Mississip- pi

shall counterbalance thovotes of five loyal men wheth-

er the results of the war shallbe made null and void in short,whether the ivage Southern brutes

Addross of the Immigrant BeliefBoard to the Public. '

At a mass meeting of the coloredcitisons of Indianapolis, held in Beth-

el A. M.E. church on Monday evoning,the 24th of Novombor, tho undersigned woro appointod a committeeto devise ways and means of caringfor any destituto immigrants whomay come to our State from tho

South. Wo do not stop, now, to disens tho causes that havo led to thisexodus of our poonle from tho South.Wo simply say tnat no reasonableman who mingles and converses withthese people (an doubt that iu thoSouth thov aro defraudod, persecuted,proscribed, denied thoir politicalrights and treated in general withtho most inhuman barbarity.

In this expectationthey will not be disappointed.

Matrimonial matters must not be forgotten. There is certainly gre.it activityin this market, The influence may lie inthe "boom; it may be caused by themoon, or it may be the offspring ot theanticipated cold winter. I don't pretendto account for it, but the "market is active,demand fair, and supply steady." For thebeneht of your readers Jet me refer tosome of the happy events. The season wasopened by the marriage of the very jopular lady, Mi came U. lindgewater, to J.Howard McGuire, a gentleman well knownhere in leading circles. The happy littlelady is o well known that further notice isunnecessary. Ihe weuding was a quietone, but the presents fully attested thehigh regard in which the couple is held.They received a list of the most costlypresents yet made in this citv. After ashort residence in this citv Mr. M. wascalled away, and now they are soon totake up permanent residence iu Toledo,Ohio. The next day after the union abovenamed, Mr. James Harris claimed for bisown Mis Eliza J. Cownn, our famed col-

ored cantat rice. The happy couple spentthe honeymoon in this city, after whichMr. Harris left for the far west, where hehopes to prepare a home.

The next prominent afiair was that ofMips Ida May Mcintosh, and Dillard SI.Dempney. Miss Ida graduated from ourhigh-scho- ol, taught in Kansas City withflattering success aud enjoys at home andabroad an enviable popularity. Mr. Dein- -sey is a young man of more than ordinaryworth quiet, unobtrusive and a perfectgentleman. Their marriage occurred inSeptember, and was a highly enjoyable social event, mere were numerous elegantpresents, but the best of all is the productof the groom's own industry, a handsomenew brick residence on Dearborn street.

Mr. Ferdinand Hogeland went out inIowa and plucked the rose of Fairfield,Miss Anna Yancy. An elegant receptionwas tendered the bride and groom at theresidence of William 8. Johnson, Esq.Mrs. Hogeland has succeeded in makinga host of friends in this city.

Miss Carrie Jenkins, a very winsomeand popular lady, was next led to the altarby Mr. John Skinner, after a "long court-ship." Both parties are well known andhighly esteemed, Miss Carrie enjoying thedistinction of being the "Derbybelle," Thewedding occurred in October, and was aremarkably pleasant social tffair. Thepresents upon the occasion were numer-ous and cosily; that from the Derby clubone of great beauty and worth.

The latest wedding occurred Thursdaynight. Marie Brown, a highly esteemedsociety lady, adopted daughter of Mr. andMrs. Parish of this city, was married toMr. Andrew Anderson. The fortunategroom enjoys a splendid reputation forindustry and integrity. The wedding oc-curred at the residence of the bride's pa-rents. The reception occurred during theevening at the elegantly furnished resi-dence of the happv pair. Before leavingthe marriage question, I must mention theenjoyable tin wedding reception tenderedby the Home Circle to Mr. and Mrs. T.C- - Gray on the 2oth uit. The recipientswere surprised and receivedjtin enough,and to spare. Fine music and a wellserved supper added materially to theevenings pleasure.
