The Biggest LieOut,

The following. wholesale lie and
shameless calumny appeared in the
editorial column of ''The Crisis, -
printed in this city, of Wednesday,
the goth inst. Had it been brought
forth one week earlier, it might have
been exhibited at the State Fair, and
perhaps competed successfully as
the bigge t lie ever uttered in the
State:
THE TRIAL OF WIRz.--Lew. Wal.
lace's vigilance committee still con.
tinues the farce of trying Captain
Wirz for alleged cruelty to Federal
prisoners at Andcrsonville, and the
lying telegraph is busy scattering
the details of his horrible atrocities
all over the country, as elcctioneer.
ing capital Tor the Abolitionists.
The Abolition orators and journals
are making the best possible use of
this material, and have worked up
the credulous and prejudiced of their
party to red hot pitch of holy in
dignation and madness, notwth-
standing the notorious fact that Stan.
ton, Butler and Hitchcock are more
responsible for the Andersonville
horrors than is Wirz. Taking for
granted that all that is reported of
Andersonvllle cruelties is true, which
is not likely, the people of Ohio need
not go to Georgia in search of such
horrors. Within cannon shot of this
city, and of the Capital of Ohio,
every atrocity perpetrated upon Fed.
eral prisoners at Andersonville has
been inflicted upon Confederate pris.
oners, and Southern citizens not pris.
oners of war; and the witnesses to
these horrors are now living and
walking the streets of Columbus, and
may be called upon to testify to the
fact. When Camp Chase contained
twenty-five thousand rebel prisoners,
sick and wounded, and destitute of
everything that makes life tolerable,
they were putupo half rations; they
were starved; they were frozen;
they were denied medical assist.
ance; they were shot down like
dogs for crossing "the dead llne;"
they were left to die from sheer
neglect by scores, and their bodies
denied the decencies which belong o to
the dead, were dug from their shall
low graves and sold to medical col.

In order that our people may know
just who have right to vote, and
thereby be on their guard, we quote
the following from the Dayton Jour.
nal:
According to the laws Of Ohio, all
white male citizens of the United
States, twenty one years of age, are
entitled to vote. Bat they must be
residents Of the county in which they
vote thirty days preceding the cleo.
tion, and if single men, they must
have resided in the ward or township
where they proposeto vote, twenty
days preceding the election; and be-
sides, they must have been residents
of Ohio one year preceding the cleo
ton.
ALIENS WHO HAVE BEEN SOLDIERS MAY
VOTE.
By the 2lst section Of the act Of
Congress, approved July I, 1862.
it is provided thnt any alien of th o
age of twcnty.one years and upward,
who has enlisted or shall enlist in
the armies of the United States, ei
ther, the regular or volunteer forces,
an has been or shall he hereafter
honorably discharged, may be adj
mitted to become n citizen of the
United States, upon his petion, with
out any previous declaration of his
intention to become citizen of the
United States, and that he shall not
be required to prove more than one
years residence within the United
States previous to his application to
become such citizen. In addition to
proof Of residence and good moral
character, it is required that the
court admitting such alien skall be
satisfied, by competent proof, that
the alien has been honorably dis.
charged from the service Of the
United States. This act materially
alters previous laws, but does not in
any manner do away with the neccs.

the passage maryland IS secure to

A laugh received the sly hit that on the
distinct ISSUES of Union or no Unions the
politicians have shown the instinetive,
knowledge that there is no diversity Of
purpose among the people. The ap-
plause was hearty and loud over the
manly passage, "1f the people should.
by whatever mode or means, make it
the Executive duty to reenslaye such
persons, another and not I must be the
instrument to perform it." But the
concluding words ofthe message, "the
war will cease on the part of the Gov.
ernment whenever it shall have ceased
on the part of those who. began it,"
was received by the Uaion me,nbers
with demonstration Of true satiJfac--
ton that was full of significance. The
Democrats sat sullen in their seats, leav.
ing the printed copies of the message,
which had been distributed when tho.

speech, which is called the Queens
speech--and which is neither the
Queens English nor the peoples gram.
mar [laughter] Her Majesty is, in
fact, as little consulted for the opinions
as Lindley Murray is for the rules oi

are nothing more than magnificent mis-.
representations Of the Queens English,
and containing the most scnorous pc.

made, / may tell you, In this manner

How TO MAKE PENCIL WRITING In
pELIABLE.-A correspondent of the
Rural Nrv Yarker gives the following
information which may prove servicea-
BILE TO some of our readers: go
A great many valuable letters and
other writings are written in pencil.
This is particularly the case with the
letters our brave soldiers send home
from the army. The following simple
process will make lead pencil writing
or drawing as indeliable rs if done
with ink. Lay the writing in shallow
dish and pour skinned milk upon it.
Any spots not wet at first may have
the milk placed upon them lightly
with feather. When the paper is all
wet over with the milk, take it up and
let the milk drain of, and whip off with
the feather the drops which collect on
the lower edge. Dry it carefully, and
it will be found to be perfectly indelia-
bic. 1t cannot be removed even with
India rubber. 1t is an old nereipt and
a good one.
