DESERTING-VOTING.

The Amendatory Enrolment bin now before
Congress provides that every person who,
having been enlisted or drafted to serve in the
National forces in the present struggle, has
hitherto deserted and shall not within sixty
days present himself for duty, or who shall
hereafter enlist or be drafted and shall in like
manner desert, shall thereupon cease to be a
citizen Of the United States and to be entitled
as a citizen to vote. This provision Mr.. Dwight
Townsend (Dem.) of NewYOrk moved on
Monday to strike out, and was backed therein
by Messrs. Chanler of this City and j. c. Allen
of Illinois. The motion was beaten and the
bill passed: Yeas 60; Nays 80.
1t seems to us plain that the man who deserts
when legally summoned o, voluntarily enlisted
to defend his country ought in simple decency
to refrain from further attempts to govern her.
How eny one can vote that 10 ought to
remain an elcctor after such rccreancy, We do
not understand; and how party as crafty as
the Democratic has been can 50 plainly bctray
its consciousness that the deserters nearly oil
belong to its fold, as the Democratic party did
by its opposition to this Acknowledgement of de-
serters, we may see after further explanation.
At present the proposition that he who skcdad.
dies from his country when called on to fight
for her should stay away when the time comes
for voting-nay, should be compelled to do 30
when his own sense Of dccency does not con.
strain him to absence from the polls--secms
quite as clear as that two and two make four.

In the absence of authentic Intelligence from
Gen. Sherman, rumors Of various kinds are set
ahoat, all, without doubt, to act on the gold
market. Yesterday there was story that Scho-
field had joined Sherman, aud in Philadelphia
another was started that Sherman had met with
a serious check. Let the gold-gamblers cheat
each other as much as they please with these
and similar inventions, and the public wait pa
tently for the truth. We may hear nothing
positive for days, and in the mean time no news
is good news.
