RELIEF OF FAMILIES OF yOIuN-
pEERS.

The report of the Committee appointed to
Arge upon the Legislature the propriety OF
making an appropriation for the relief of tho
families OF volunteers, will be found in an
other column; we commend it to the at
tentive perusal of all our renders. Every
thing was conducted on the part of the Com.
mittee in manner which merited and would
have received favorable response from any
other body in the loyal States save the Con-
perhead Legislature of Delaware. But so
black and malignant is the hatred of the
majority of that body against the soldier.
who are lighting our countrys battles that
they have steadily refused to vote one cen,
for their relief in any manner, shape or form
1t is in keeping with the base party that has
control of the General Assembly, and is
among the many vile acts which will bring
upon the heads of its authors, the contempt
and scorn of every man who has one spark OF
humanity in his breast

SOLDIERS RGr OF SUFFRAGR.-The act
recently passed hy the Legislature of New
York submitting the question of an amend
ment to the Constitution in relation to se-
curing to absent electors in the military
service the right OF suffrage, has been sien.
ed by the Governor and has became n law
The amendment, by this act is submitled
to the people to vote on it, and the election
will be held on the second Tuesday in
March. 1t will, no doubt, be ratified by
the voice of the people. This is right, and
if the Copperhead Legislature of Delaware
