to hold otIi;a. This is the opening OF that beau
tIful Republican door which admits negroes ia
an equal contest for office with white men, and
which right is clearly guaranteed to them by the
decision Of the Republican Court. What a
beautiful time we shall have in Ohio directly,
when the negroes come forward and claim
at least proportion of all the Offices in gift o
the people! Won't Republicauisn shine in

The Hatclman says that he heard several
Republicans say that on that day. after seeing
these darkies vote, that they had cast their last
