he Ohio Democrat SAYS :

The Ohio Democrat says:
We have conversed with quite num-
her of soldiers since their return, and
they ridicule the idea Of a soldier voting
for the Negro Equality doctrine of the
Republican party of Ohio. There are
other reasons for this supposition, and
foremost among them is the known fact
that General Sherman is opposed to con-
.ferring suffrage on the Negroes. This
will have its influence among the men,
especially with those who served under
that gallant Officer We think, therefore,
looking over the whole ground, that when
the Abs calculate on the votes of the re-
turned soldiers to help them elect their
Negro Equality Ticket they are counting
chickens that will never be hatched,

WASHINGTON, July 10.-The Secretary
of State continues his duties in almost
perfect health. The novel and extraordi-
nary splint was removed from his face by
order OF his Surgeons, and proves to
have been marvellous success, and very
few traces are to be seen Of the original
accident and the subsequent assul' OF the
baffied assassin, with the exception of a
slight swelling on the side of his check.
r.Seward rose this morning dressed HIM
self and performed his toilet, even to
shaving, without assistance, for the first
time since his accident. His friends and
the country will be glad to learn that he
has entirely recovered the use his arms
one of which was fearfully MANNED when
he was thrown from his carriage. Dur
ing three month of suffering MIR. Seward 's
mind has been engaged in the transaction
of public business, a fact which will ena-
BILE him witfs fscomparatiye ease to resume
the active and laborious duties of his De-
partment.
