Senator Sherman's Effort 10
Commit General Sherman I'm
Favor of C0X-Eaiiure Of the
Effort.
After the nomination Of Gen. Cox for
Goyernor,by the Republican State Conven-
ton, held in this city, on the 2lst Of June,
Senator Sherman announced that no man
in Ohio would more cordially support the
nominee than bis brother, General w. T.
Shermant This was, Of course, regarded
with great favor by the friends Of negro
eouality. and was heralded all over the State
as a In1 thing; but many of the Republicans
who knew John Shermans disposition to
make unreliable statements, did not believe
him in this instance-at any rate, they re-
ceiyed this announcement with many grains
of allowance. John saw this, and felt that
his reelection to the United States Senate
might depend upon few words from Gen
Sherman in favor OF General Cox; and he
labored from that time forth until last
Thursday, in conjunction with other Repub-
lican managers, to get Tecumseh to speak K
those few words General Sherman dis
PLAYED as much genuine heroism in his late
flank movement in Ohio, as any General
WAS ever called upon to exhibit on the held
of battle The pressure that John brought
to bear upon him was terrifhc. Every, avail
able influence Was seized a1d used IN the
effort to accomplishing object, Gen. Cox
was persistenty thrust forward, and kept
10 Gen. Sherman S presence, so that 1t was
an impossibility for gentlemen who are in
harmony with the views of the latter to ap-
proach him. He could do no less, under
the circumstances, than to say of Cox what
he did say-complimenting him as a gen,
tleman aud scholar, and speaking kindly
of him as a military man. He uttered nc
words, indorsing Cox politically, or promis-
ing him support in his race for Governor
and therein he outeankett his brother Johr

NEGRO Voting.

Th ere are only two States in the Union
where the negro is allowed to vote without
a property qualification. They are Vermont
and New Hampshire, the former Of whom
has only eighty. negro voters, and the latter
1870. I,...
In Massachusetts, every voter must, with
in two years, have paid State or county
tax, unless excused from taxation.
In Rhode Islanda voter must own real
estate OF one hundred and thirtyfour dol
lars value, or of the clear yearly value Of
seven dollars over any ground rent. -
A Splored person is not allowed to vote in
New York unless he has resided in the State
three years, and is a treeholder in value Of
two hundred aud fifty dollars, and paid tax
es thereon. L.
Ma achusetts, which does not at home i
low any IN; nto votc who has not paid !
State or county tax directly, for they all + )
it indirectly, is very desirous that the South.
ern States shall allow negroes to vote with
out such discrimination. She goes in fol
universal black suffrage at the South, while
denying it to her poor whites at home. :

Tine Future Politics OF the Coun-


The Albany Ecening Jowna1, the central
organ of the Republicans in the great State
of New York, admits, in a late article, that
its party has but feeble hold of it. 1t
says: gf lsIi+L . ii. s.. am
In looking at. this subject it should not
be forgotten that Notwithstanding the embar-
rassments which environed the Democracy
in their initiation and prosecution of last
years campaign, they were barely defeated
in this State. In an aggregate vote of 730,
600, a majority Of $40 is nothing
The most that can be said of the result is,
that 1T was neck-and neck contest. And
this, too, it should be remembered, when
there were real disscnsions-n the ranks OF
the Observation-Disclosures involving per-
sons as we'll as principles = If the
Democracy could have thrown off any one
of the score of burthens which it had tc
bear, or had the Union party been one whit
less united or jealous through the canvass

The Washington correspondent of the
Philadclnhia Ledner, sueaks of the Monroe

The Washington correspondent of the
Philadelphia Ledger speaks of the Monroe
Doctrine in regard to Mexico, as follows ,
SIN the speech of Secretary Harlan, in
Washington last week, he expressed the
views Of the President upon the Mexican
question exactly, and it isnot unlikely but
what they will, ere long, have even a more
emphatic expression. The charges of Mr..
Blair against Mr.. Seward only hold good
with reference to the action the latter while
Mr.. Lincoln was living, but since then there
has been a change in measures as well as
men, and passive acguiescence in the up
setting of the Monroe Doctrine, it will be
found, is not to last forever. Meanwhile,

sand troops to Mexican soil, to be increased

SOLDIERS LETTER TO GIN. cox.
COLUMBUS, o., July 5, 1865.
Major Gen. Coz, Commanding Ii0eHty
third Army CORPS,
DEAR SIR-As your fellow soldiers and
fellow-citzens, we congratulate you upon
your nomination as candidate for Govern-
or of Ohio; and as comrades desiring your
success, if there be concurrence of our
views on certain public questions OF great
interest, We address you this note.
We are only soldiers, and know nothing
of the tricks and schemes of politicions; and
we therefore regret that the Convention
which placed you in nomination failed to
give expression of the views of the party on
the subject Of reconstruction of the Union
and negro suffrage -lt .
1t is true that. the Convention, in general
terms, indorsed the policy of President
johnson, but it is equally true that few
hours after the adjournment Of the Conven-
ton, General Schenck declared, in speech
in front Of the Capitol, that he was opposed
to receiving the representa-, es Of the
Southern States into {, C,ngress, until they
had shown their loyalty by giving the right
of suffrage to the negro. ... ...-
He further said that 'there were three
classes of persons in the South-the aristo-
Gratis, who were secessionists;, the white
| trash" meaning those loyal whites who
have the misfortune to be poor; and the
negroes who were loyal to the core. y
And if suffrage was extended to either of
these classes, he wished it to be given to the
negro, IL. ... ...-.. ..,.. s-.s fas..i :.
It is charged, General, that you are in IA
vor of placing the negro upon a political
equality with white soldiers, and white citi-
zenS. g., ..,. @ ...- ..t
In order. Therefore, to give you an appor.
tunity to vindcate yourself from charges, Of
so damaging character, we ask you the fol
lowing questions a, Ill .. ..,... -..
1st. Are you in favor Of restoring tht
Southern States to all their rights in the
| Union, as propose by President johnson
even if the right Of suffrage is not EXTENDED
to the negro? tis..l+ ya4. -.Eg a,
ID. Are you in favor of giving the negr'
the right toyote in Ohio, and to confer upol
him all the other privileges of a citizen, ci
ther now, Or at any future time? ..,,...,.
I We feel it to be due to you to say that
we are favor of President Johnson's plan 0
reconstruction; that we believe it to be th
duty OF all loyal citizens to sustain the Gov
crnment, and that we are opposed to negrt
suffrage now, or at.any future time. r..

r@LThe Republicans of this Senatorial
District are having a sweet time about
their nomination of Senator. They first
agreed that they would have no Convention
for that purpose, but we see by the last
Belmont CbroE,de that the Harrison Coun-

in Belmont county that although they have
no objection to DIR. West, the people Of
their party have some objections to their
acting for them. We shouldn't wonder
But who is the anxious one for Senatorial
