How they Love the Soldiers.

The democratic majority of the Indi-
ana Legislature voted down PROPOSE
ton to allow the soldiers in the field
from that State TO vote. A Mr.. Searp-
stein, democrat, has introduced a bill in,
to the Wisconsin Legislature to repeal
the law by which the soldier of that
State are allowed to VOTE In the =. S.
Senate last week, vote on the bill pro-
vding for the payment of soldiers in the
Department OF Missouri was defeated by
Salisbury of Delaware and Richardson
Of Illinois, who withdrew from the Sel-
ate Chamber and left that body without
a quorum. The soldiers thus left with
out pay, belong to Iowa, Missouri and
Illinois regiments, and have been wait
ing for twelve or fifteen months. We
trust the soldiers and the trends Of the
soldiers will not fail to place these facts
IL their note books for future reference

Confederate Dpcjsj0n on Color.

The Confederate Adjutant Generalhas
decided that men with any portion of the
blood Of the white race are liable to CON
scription. This certainly looks more
like confidence in the superiority of the
blood of the whites, than the Northern
notion that ninety nine-hundreds Of the
blood Of the white race in person are
overcome by the hundredth fraction of
negro blood But if all who have "a irac-
ton OF the blood of the whites are de-
clared subject to military service, our
Democratic friends will perceive how
large portion of the colored population
Of the South is made subject to the con-
ditions of war by the decision of rebels.
If liable to military duty, they of course
owe that duty to the Government.
They of course are capable of loyalty
and treason, and it is the duty Of the
Government to give them every facility
for deserving treason and showing fdel-
ity. Thus, by the act of the rebels, the
Democratic scruples about the color of
the assistance offered in the South are
cut down to the fractional, full blood,
