The Ohio Legislature has passed bill for
spportioning the counties Of that State into Con-
gressional Districts. The bill is pronounced by
the minority shameless fraud upon nearly one
half the yoters Of the State-the Districts be-
ing arranged without regard to geographical
contignity having for its only object the
election Of men oil the dominant party to Con-
Rress, 10 the exclusion Of Democrats Indeed,
no attempt is made to conceal the fact that this
is che object Of the bill, aud one member had
the candor to declare In debate that one great
end in view BY the trainers and supporters of
the measure was to "preyent the return Of Sam
Coz to the House" Mr.. Cox is the popular
and able young member from the Columbus dis
irict His tastes are rather literary than polit-
cal, though few men In the national Legislature
are better posted than be on all the great ques.
tions that agitate the nation.
He was On ardent supporter OF Mr.. Douglas
for the Presidency and has ever proved himself
faithful to the pariotic teachings Of that lament.

Cox has given cordial and jealous support to
the war for the Union, asking only that the Con-
stituuon shall be respected and preserved unim.
paired. Heha never uttered word or given
q vote which indicated sympathy with or tolera-
ton for treason.
Z Why, then, should the Republican members
OF the Ohio Legislature be so anxious to turn
this able and popular young member ont Of
Congress that they frame and pass bill having
this for one of its leading ObIeots7 In what
has Mr.. Coz offended that such anxiety should

A RuNAwAY.-Y esterday forenoon, a team Of
two horses belonging to the Columbus Machine
Manufacturing Company, and drawing wagon
loaded with hospital bedsteads, ran away on
North High street. II seems that as the team
was turned from Broad up North High street,
some of the iron bedsteads fell forward, fright
ening the horses. and causing them to spring
forward with such violence that the driver was
unable to control them. Before they reached
Gay street, they turned to one side, andbrought
up against the large Bookbinder sign just in
front OF the Statesman Office. Both horses were
thrown down by the violence Of the collision,
and received some pretty severe scratches, bus
we're not otherwise seriously injured. A horse
and buggy belonging to Messrs. Ide & Denig
we're standing by the post. The buggy was
broken to pieces; but the horse fortunately
escaped injury.

J To Guard Prlsoners Of war.

INV. NoRIIs, Representative from the vii
lIams District has been authorized to recruit
one hundred men for guard duty at the prison
on Johnson's leland, near Sandusky City. The
Toledo Blade commends him as being just the
man for the place. We heard quite number
Of his brethren of the Legislature express them
selves far otherwise about him, deeming the ap
pointment very injudicious and improper one.
The Blade is right, however, in saying that the
company will soon be filled up--for the Abo
lItlonists will enlist for that kind of service
While they are unwilling to 60 South to meet
an armed foe, they are willing to manifest their
bravery by overbeAring insolence, while guard
ing unafmed prisoners Of wsr upon beautiful

On the preceding day, Thursday, May l, the

that day occupy also fifteen columns OF the

respecting the surrender Of fugitive slaves BY

The negro ball was opened by Mr.. SUMNER, and
principally carried on by the Republican Sena-

at all calculated to win Union Democrats TO

The Attacks upon General Gran,

At meeting of the Union citizens Of Gov.
ington, Kentucky; on Saturday night, for the
purpose Of expressing their political opinions,
the following incident occurred:
"Mr. Grant, father of General Grant, made
some illusions to the course pursued by the
Cincinnati Gazette, Commercidt and Times IL re.
gard to his son. He considered that the man
ner in which General Grant had been misrepre-
sented by those papers was shameful, simply
because be was not an Abolitionist, and did not
favor making this war for the determination
Of slavery. But so far as he MAS concerned,
and be felt authorized to speak for his son as
well as himself, he was for the Union and the
Constitution as It is. If there is any trouble
about slavery, let 1t be settled at the balot-box
after the war is over. Hsremarks produced a
decided sensation" a-

The TrIune COrresPOndenI-The Re.
Publicans ReTHse TO Allow Soldiers
TO Vote.

Three Of the Cincinnati Dailies were repre-
sented in this city, during the session Of the
Legislature, Dy the same correspondent, whose
feelings and prejudces are strongly with the
Republicans. His letters to the Enquirer were
often directly contradictory to those he furnish
ed the Commercial and tho Times. On the %
of May, he wrote to the Enquirer, stating that
the bill to enable soldiers to vote would have
passed but for Republican opposition, and that
the Democrats we're unanimcusly in favor OF it.
This is true.
But on the same day, this letter writer wrote
to the Commercial, that some of the Democrats,
as well as the Republicans, were opposed to the
bill, and that its defeat was not properly charge
able to either party. Herein he contradicts
himself, and states what is not true. But for
Republican opposition, the bill lOOuld hare become
a lGlO, and our brdUs and gallant soldiers i0Oald
be permitted 10 cote. They can judge from this
action in the Ohio Legislature who are their
real friends.
Early in the session we wrote TO Harrisburg,
and procured copy OF the Law which enables
Pennsylvania soldiers to vote wherever they
may be, on the day Of an election. We imme-
diately published it in the Statesman, and call
ed the attention Of the Legislature to it, sug.
gesting at the same time, that it was their i'm
perative duty to enact & similar Law for the ben.
eft of the Ohio boys who are in the military
service. Mr.. DRKsEL, Democratic member,
bill for that purpose the very next
lay after we made the suggestion through the
Statesman. 1t was before the Legislature for
months, but there was persistent determine
ltion on the part Of the Republicans to not al
low any bill of that character to pass. The req
of that party are, therefore, oppOs-
ed to allowing our soldiers tovote.
