As Expected,

The Supreme Court OF Ohio has decid-
ed the soldiers voting Jaw constitutional,
Judge Rauney (loco) dissenting. That
was just as expected. The Democratic
party, who advocate the doctrine that
negroes have no rights that white men
are bound to respect, endeavor to apply
the same political heresy to the soldier
in depIv;ng him OF his citizenship
They, in fact, argue that, il man goes
into the army to whip rebels and copper
beads-one and the same-they have
lost all The privileges enjoyed by Ameri
cans. and their party have so decided
through Judge Ranney on the Supreme
Bench. 1t is well understood why cop.

to vote. The ballot of veterans naver

CLOSING UP.-The close of the week
how gratefully it comes to toiling and weary
millions Even those who reject religion
and its Institutions, acknowledge the wise if
not divine ordination of the Sabbath day
OF rest and peace-wise because it answers
one of the greatest human wants, as no 9TH
er device could. AS the shadows of eve
ming fall on Saturday night, the mechanic
and artizan will lay down their toll and
armor, and the finger worn needle woman
will fold up her work-that brings, alas
too scanty pittance-and homeward from
every haunt will go the hosts whose hands
surround us with the comforts and Injuries
of life. And how quiet will the great city
become, erst so full of the music of diverse
yet mingling labor! The songs of the
hammer and the trowel cease, and the an
thems Of wheels die away over the desert
ed streets, and solitude comes so welcome
to every better sense. Repose, so sweet af-
ter the weeks toll, to be unbroken for day
-repose which brings reflection and medi
tation, culturing the mind by review of
the experiences through which it has pass
ed. May they ever strengthen US all, to re-
new the hustle of life with greater earnest
ness and higher aims.
