A Question and am Answer.

General Cox has been delivering a speech
at Oberlin, Ohio, an abstract of which we
find in the CommercidI. 1t says:
"Ap old gentleman of the colored per
suasion, who seemed to be convinced that
the General had got the advantage on the
general issue of negro suffrage South, rose
to inquire whether, setting that question
aside, the General would, if elected, favor
an amendment to the Constitution of Ohio
permitting negroes to vote in this State.
The General replied that he had stated hi,
own plan, and his own mode of solving the
difficulty. He believed the question must
be decided for the black man as Il unit, and
that the duty of the colored man here wos 10
connccthiS destiny ,chh those Of Me lSoWh;
that if the question had to be determined by
each State for itself and the South for it
self, his determination here ro"id be far the
fH application for tie rights Of man, 'chici'
he had dcScribod.
Loud applause greeted this reply, and
the meeting adjourned,
This is a very vague, indefinite and un
satisfactory answer to plain question. II
admits of but one word-yes or no. The
General showed but little iianAneSs and
honesty when he thus cvaded it, His in
tcrrogator was no wiser after his answer
than before. How can our politics be 9th
crwisc than corrupt when candidates thus
dodge the practical issue.

Taxing the Bonds.

If the bonds can be saved from rcpudia-
ton, it can be done only by the bondhollers
conScnting that they shall be treated the
same other property. Thciniustico of al,
lowing man who has fifty thousand dollars
worth of bonds to enjoy the protection OF
the government in his person and property,
without charge, while the owner Of the
same amount of real estate is compelled to
pay heavy taxes, is too apparent for dispute.
The Republican States of Connecticut and
New Hampshire, where large quantities OF
Government securities are held, have pro-
posed to tax the income derived from TWEEN
ty-hvc and fifteen per cent. respectively.
They see the tendency Of the times, and
are preparing for the wrath to come. Own

Patriots and Traitors.

treason; and that hyaIty consisted of an en-
dorsemcnt of the "Govcrnmcnt, as they
called the President. Now, on the great
issue Of negro suffrage, the Democrats al
agree with the President in opposing the

the shoddy editors, politicians and preacher,

Oh No, Guess Not!

The Abolition party is not in favor of ne
gro sultragc!-not at all!-it all mistake
They don't think IA negro is as good us !;
white man!--not in the least! The qucs
ton of negro equality is not an issue in the
present campaign!--not a bit of it, Those
who think are respectfully asked to pc,
ruse the following resolution, passed at the
Abolition county Convdntiontion of Cuya
hoga county, on the 10th inst:
RCsoired, That it is the sense of this Con
vcntion that the word white" be struck
from the State Constitution. Thai
the elective franchise can be more safe
ly entrusted to the intelligent freedmen thar
to those who have spent their lives thus fan
to overthrow this Republican Government
that we ask those whom we have put in nom
nation, to support these resolutions.
Whenever an Aboltionist tells you hi
party is not in favor of Negro Suffrage
read to him the above resolution. Ncgr'
equality IS an issue in the campaign, and i
was sprung by the Abolitionists themselves

The Apostacy Of the Protestant
Pulpit.

The following is from the last number of
the Free Chrtstiaa Commonwealth, a strict
presbyterian paper, conducted by an Asso.
ciation Of Ministers" The only fault we
have to find with it is that its language is
too sweeping. There are many Protestant
ministers who have not bowed the knee TO
Baal or Moloch. With these exceptions
the censure thus conveyed is, we regret to
say, painfully true;
The clergy Of the Protestant Church are
now the most blood thirsty of any class of
citizens. They have been preaching gos.
pei Of blood and destruction for four years.
New phases of thought and forms Of de-
nuBciation have takcnposscssion Of the pull
pit and have falniliarizcd their hearers
with manner Of thought and sentiment
which in old times could only be found in
the most abandoned Characters. This is
now the height Of religion, praiseworthy
zeal in good cause. The clergy as far az
the public can judge, are more blood thirsty
than the Generals or the soldiers. Several
of the most eminent Generals have lately
shown commcndabc tenderness Of life.
and to their credit, in many instances have
exhibited magnanimity which belongs to
greatness Of character. But the Clergy
whether in their pulpits or on the platform
when they assemble with their fellow citi
zcns, still howl moro for blood, and demand
greater severity. This, too, is done BY
them at a time when the country could wei
afford to be mcrciful, and when the massc.
Of the people, if they We're permitted tC
follow their better instincts, would be mcr
cifuI, but the clcarical leaders all agree that
Mr.. Lincoln was permitted, BY Divine Prov
idence, to be taken away in the fearful
manner of death by assassination, bccaus,
he was too mcrciful. On this they are per
fcctly agreed. These clerical leaders di1e

How Jack Became "a Demo.

The most bigoted and unreasonable party
man ever met was Jack. Jack was a red.
hot Abolitonist, and his chief pleasure
seemed to be in making the fact as notorious
as possible. His friends aud associates,
with one consent, pronounced Jack bore
aud Il nuisance to the last degree.
One day Jack met, at the house of a friend,

accomplishments. Attracted by her lowell
ness, and captivatod by her intelligence. he
became assiduous in his attentions, forgot
for while his principles, and without
inquiring what might be the political prefer

was accepted, and they were married.
The wedding was over, the guests had
departed, aud the happy pair had retired
to their chamber, and were snugly cnsconsed
in bed, when Jack, in the course of quiet
conversation with his wife, unwittingly al
luded to his favoritcf Subject, by casually
speaking Of himself as Republican.

sharply and suddenly toward him, "arc you

The Carnival on the Reserve,

Our readers can scarcely imagine the state
of feeling upon the Western Reserve Of Ohio
on the negro suffrage business. The people
have been lashcd into an irreprcssblc fury
upon the subject by the ianatical editors
and politicians who lead them by the nose;
and they think niger, talk nigger, sing
niggcr preach Niger and pray niggcr. Not
one OF the Abolition papers ON the Reserve
has failed To come out Squarcly Tor negro
suffrage and equality, and they are in amost
potent RAGE with the pseudo conservatives
of Southern Ohio, who desire to dickcr,
dodge and procrastinate until after the cleo
ton and then boldly declare the whole ticket
was elected on the negro equality issue
The Ab0litionists on the Reserve want the
negro to vote in Ohio and every other State;
the Abolitionists of Southern Ohio want
the negro to vote everywhere else but in
Ohio The idea of the former is to lcgis-
late for and control the whole country by
negro votes the idea Of the latter is to con
troll only the Southern States by the same
means. About these nice distinctions the
most bcsottcd ofthc fanatics are carrying on
furious and noisy warfare, and they fancy
the world is watching them with stupid adj
miration and opcn-mouthed wonder From
out this carnival of lanaticism we gather
this assurance that if the Democracy o
Ohio do but perform their duty, as they
have done it in years gone by, the position
will be reversed in October, and the Aboli
tionsts will themselves realize the wonder
and amazcmcnt which they now fancy tn,
observers Of their contest manifest. Il Crisis

pie, who will arise in their might as lreemen,

Extravaganza and profligacy run riot in the
land-tho people pay enormous taxes and
they are recklcs,ly squaulercd by Tax Col

then becomes doubled. The faith of the
nation must be preserved Il system Of rigid
economy must be introduced into our public
affairs and our public men must think less
and talk less about the negro, and think
more and do more for the white man, or
we are Il ruined people.

Death OF Ex-Governor william
Mediil.

Tho painful intelligence has reached us
that Ex-Governor William Mcdill died on
Saturday afternoon, at about o clock, Sep

One year ago in August he was afflicted with
paralysis of the cxtremitics, from the effects
of which hc was long confined to his cham
Der. I.atterly, he had so far recovered as
to DC able to 20 about some, and his health
otherwise appeared tolcrably good Mr..
Medill was born in the State Of New Jersey,
and came to this State about 1899 or 1880,
aud settled in Lancaster, which place nc
has ever since made his residence. lie had
not lived long in Fairfield until he was cleo
ted to the Ohio Legislature, where he soon
gained cmincncc as one OF the Democratic
leaders. We believe that he was chosen
Speaker Of that body at one session. lie
was elected To Congress several times, and
in that body he established "A reputation for
ability and fidelity to the interests Of his
constituents. Under the Administration OF
President Polk Mr.. Medill was Commis-
sioncr of Indian Affairs, the duties Of which
position he discharged with great acccpta-
bility. When Delegates were elected to the
Constitutional Convention by which the
present Constitution Of Ohio was framed,
Mr.. Mcdill was elected as one OF the Del
egatcs from Fairfield county. or the Con
stitutional Convention he was chosen the
presiding officer, and he received the award
of the members thercolas a presiding officer
of rare excellence. At the first election
under the present Constitution he was clec-
ted Lieutenant Governor by the Democratic
party, and succeeded to the Govcrnorship
by reason Of Governor Wood having resign
cd the Governorship and accepted the Con
SuiShip to VALPARAISO. In October, 1888,
Mr.. Medillwas elected Governor, and served
out the term of his office. Under President
Buchanan he held the position Of Comp
trollor of the Treasury.
The duties of every trust reposcd in Mr..
Mcdil were discharged with ability and

Something To Consider.

Some men who are honestly opposed to
negro suffrage, still talk of voting for the
Western Reserve ticket, on the ground that
they believe the party opposed to extend
ing the right of suffrage to the black man.
We ask such men these questions: Did the
Republican State Convention, or a solitary
District or County Convention of the "Un-
ion" party held in the State of Ohio this
year, passed any resolution or expressed any
opinion IN opposition to negro sgBiGge|
Has ANY meeting or public assembiage
of the party in Ohio declared in opposition
to it? Nor ONE.
And yet this question has been promi-
ncntly before the people, and Conventions
have been held in every county and District
in the State. In some localities they pub
licly and zealously advocate it; in all others,
through policy, they have passed it by in
silence, for the present, in order to secure
the votes of such persons as We have aIud-
ed to above, Does anybody believe that il
the Union" party was equally opposed It
it, that they would let compaign such rs
this pass by mithom Wte,'mg a ,cord IN op,

ocracy are opposed to extending the elective
franchise to the negro, while their opponents

a Terrible Tragedy--An Officer
Murdered by IL Negro.

We are called upon this morning to mar
rate the partcu'arso Of one Of the most heart
rcnding tragedies that has ever thrilled the
heart Of the people of this section of the
country DR.. NJ. G. Mulinix, Surgeon of
the ll9th Indiana Volunteers, arrived at
home last evening, bringing with him the
liiclcss body of Captain David NJ. Dobson,
of this village, who was brutally murdered
by Il negro ON Saturday last. The particu-
lars given us by Surgeon NJ are as follows:
Captain Dobson was Provost Marshal of
Somcrvillc, Ala stationed there for the pur-
pose of administering the oath to the late
rebels, and transacting such other business
aS came within his province. lie was very
popular, both among his own men and the
citizens. On Saturday last Captain DohSon
was standing ON the street i'll front ola hotel,
converSing with man named Rathor, late
a rebel General, when a negro servant of
Mr.. Stewart with whom the Captain was
boarding. approached him from behind and
struck him ON the head with an axe, the
blade splitting his skull and sinking to the
base otthc brain. Captain DobSon fell and
expired Immediately. The negro started
to run, but was caught by a man who had
been standing near, and was only saved from
being hung on the spot by the hope of get
tlln some cue 10 MS llbIlNC LOT COIlllllttltlE
the deed. These are all the particulars we
have of the affair. DR.. NJ. is of the opinion
that the negro committed the murder on his
own responsibility, and that the citizens of
Somcrillc are blameless in the affair. The
negroes are becoming worse every day, aud
if permitted to enjoy their much talked O
'freclom," nothing short Of cxtcrminating
them will insure the safety of the whites. =
Such is the opinion of both soldiers and cit
izcns of Alabama.
We have no heart to comment on this ter
riblc affair. 1t is but the natural result OF
forcing freedom" upon a race incapable OF
approaching it, and who, without the re.
straining hand of power, sink back at once
into their normal condition Of barbarism.
The murder has created feeling of intense
Indignation where it occurred, and also here
at home, where Captain Dobson was univer.
sally loved and respected His stricken
relatives, who knew not of the affair unit
the body of the dead brother and nephew
We're brought home, have the heartfelt sym
