Under this head, the Dayton Empire Announc-
es the defeat OF the bill, To enable Ohio SOL

volunteers are as much the CONSTITUENTS OF the

much interested in the selection OF honest and
capable men, and should have the same oppor-
tunities of expressing their preferences T6e
Legislature Of Pennsylvania generously made
provision for she volunteers OF that State to
vote in their camps, wherever located. When
the ballots Of the volunteers were counted IL was
found they had voted almost unanimously for
the Democratic ticket, and Pennsylvania made
Democratic by large majority. But the Ohio
Legislature, instead OF initiating the noble ex-
ample Of Pennsy lyania, seem rather TO look up
on her action 10 this respect az warning not TO
be guilty of the same political error OF allowing
soldiers to vote, as the result might be similar,
and thus sever the frail political tenure by
which they bold their places. No other reason
can be assigned for dIsfrauehlsing our yolun-
teers In the field, save that the Republican
members feared the larger portion OF them
would vote the Democratic ticket, which they
would, IN all probability, do. -. q

The Infamous DI.trIc1Ipg Bill.

The Republican Legislature, before closing
its OneT Gus lab0Fs, passed one Of the most inla-
nous Congressional apportionment bills ever
saddIed upon the sovereign people. They have
managed, in gerrymandering districts. to give
the Democracy buttWo members Of the nine
teen--thus giving the Republicans seventeen
members for the 200 900 voters who supported
Tod, and but two TO the Democracy for the
1000 voters who supported Jewett. Bat will

party that has more sympathy for the black
than the white rsce2 Willthey not CRY Repeal!
Repeal! unsil the word rings In their ears, and
Il 10 wiped from the statute book ae one of the
dishonest schemes Of Black Republicans to
hoist themselves into office regardless of the
rights Of the people.
The Districts were concocted 10 secret Re-
publican concIaye, and the bill passed without
why or wherefore. The iniquitous sWinde
had vote In the House of so against 80.
The 9th district, which is composed of Union,
Delaware, Marion, Morrow and Richland, is
kin to one Of the old nondescripts, with which
the people were outraged years back, and
which WeII-nigh created revolution in Ohio.
They intended by the district made for as to
throw Us In hopeless minority; but 1t remains
for the people 10 rise In their might, and con-
denim at the ballot box, this ones ided and infa

InaIux OF Negroes into the National

z A Washington dispatch states that the free
negroes and other lsbore,s "a significant classif-
cstion) Of the District are somewhat disturbed
By the influx of con.rabands, who can be hired

Government, having the article thrown upon

manner possible.
Bus what Government ought 10 do or can DO

voluntary colonization Law for the free negroes
10 the District; but We do not hear that any Of
them propose to leave the country, though
promised free passage and subsistence. In-
stead Of any leaving, Washington Is filing up
With immigrant conFabands, and likely TO
swarm with negroes; because the District is
nos free territory. II this goes on. It will soon
become delectable place for the National
Capital.
To remedy the evil, perhaps the Government
will order, coax or hire the negroes to migrate
further North. This might disturb the free me-
groes and other aborers, as the telegraph has it,
In other places. AT any rate, the country is
beginning to see some Of the fruits Of Repub'

The voice Of rrue Union soldier

The Dayton Empire prints the following ex
tract from letter, recently received from a
Union soldier OF Montgomery county, now in
the army at Columbia, Tennessee. 1t speaks
for itself: l1I7iE
have always been Republican, but as the
Dayton Journal Is getting to be burlesque on
a respectable community, and the AdmIuistra-
tlon is carrying out Abolition principles, (as
well as thousands Of my fellow soldiers), am
forever done with the name, as well as with the
Abolition principles OF the Republican party
We Republican soldiers, and the same may be
said of our brother Democratic soldiers, did not
enlist to expose our lives to aid Abolitionism,
nor emanoipate the loathsome negro, and then
to be taxed to the backbone to pay the bill. We
are willing to fight and sacrifice our lives for
the restoration Of peace and the maintenance Of
the Constitution, and the preservation Of the
UAion, and its laws, but we are not willing to
fight for the abolition of slavery
The editor adds: ra
Our correspondent, we doubt not, but speaks
the sentiments of nine-tenths Of the rank and
file of the army. They did not enlist to fight
the battles Of Abolition ism, nor do they desire
to offer their lives for the sole benefit OF the
negro. -o1 -
