Sensible.

The Cleveland Herald condemns the Mich
igan Legislature for overriding the decis-
ion of the Supreme Court Of that State,
which pronounces the soldier-voting law
of Michigan unconstitutional. The Su-
preme Court of that State is composed of
men who are Republicans. The Herald
says: --irI7'3 81
"The doings of the Legislature are dis
creditable to that body, and there Is but
one way to save the party in Michigan; that
is, by the party disavowing the act of the
Legislature, and at next election returning
not man, who ignored the decision, to the
Legislature. Any other course will be ru-
inous, for the act of the Legislative major
ity cannot be sustained, and any party that
attempts it will go under"
The number of Administration delibera-
tive bodies, the doings of which are not
"discreditable," )" can be very easily counted
by boy who has practiced in the rule Of
addition very little. These bodies act on
the'idea that, by reason of the large ma
jorities by which they were elected, they
owe no accountability to any one. The only
effective corrective for this erroneous be-
lief is to displace the dominant party as
rapidly as it can be done through the agen-
cy of the ballot-box.

Where the Rebels Can Make a
lfnmG.

OhaAh0s
The Louisville Journal is convinced that
teen. LEEwill postponehis doom to as late
a period as possible." And after having
expressed its views as to his probable move
ments, it says:
ave believe, therefore, that Gen. Lee
now designs to move his army as speedily
as possible by way of the East Tennessee
and Virginia railroad into the fertile valley
of Southwestern Virginia lying between the
Cumberland and Allegheny Mountains.
This region is notonly most strongly forti-
fled by nature in military point of view,
being great double Capontcre, with water
and railroad centers from end to end, but
its resources are vitality important to the
maintenance of the rebel army. Wherever
General Lee may 60, he must control this
region of country, whence alone the south
can procure iron, lead, copper, sulphur,
nitre, ETC., all of which are absolutely es-
sential In the construction and manufacture
of war material This inter-mountainous
region of Southwestern Virginia and East
Tennessee, is the only place In the South
to which the rebels can look for the future
supplies of their armies. This region, to-
gether wiCh its abundant mineral resources,
Is fine agricultural section. capable OF fur
nishing any amount of supplies, and, II Gen.
Lee can secure Its occupation, he will be en-
abled to make long and desperate defense.
In this region all who are determined 10
fight on in this ruinous struggle ana 'uie, II
need be, in the last ditch could find refuge,
taking with them their stock and negroes
and thence they could atany time make ef-
fectiye excursions or campaigns North,
South, East and West, more especially into
Kentucky and Ohio. Six months time will
enable them to raise crop; and there IS
now, we are reliably informed, food enough
in Southwest Virginia and West North Car
olina, to subsist large army for year.
This food has been most vigilantly husband
ed by the rebels, evidently having in view the
great object we are now presenting. ltmay
be remembered by the reader, that, in 1867,
Jefferson Davis declared that he could carry
on the war for twenty years upon virginia
soil, 'and,' said he, If the worst comes n d an
orIs worse, We can Jake 10 Gne mountain re-
gion in the interior, and there fight 1t out
forever The programme thus foreshad-
owed by the rebel President seems now
about to be inaugurated. The present
movements at Richmond and Petersburg
plainly indicate as much"
This statement as to the turn military
movements may take strikes us as not sufi-
ciently gratifying to go into very general
jubilation to-day. 1t more properly forms
a subject for prayerful solicitude. General
LEE, in his letter in relation to the arming
of slaves, gave the country very distinctly
to understand that he intended to make pre-
paration for protracted struggle.
To bring Peace, Union and tranquility to
this distracted country, something more
than the military power will have to be
called into requisition. How much longer
will it require to make the people sensible
of this fact? l.

"The Negroes Rights and All"

The editor of The Ashtabula Sentinel, who
represents the Ashtabula Senatorial Dis
trict in the State Senate, has published in
his paper letter dated Columbus, Feb. 23 in
which he gives an account of his participa-
tion in the festival at the Neil House on the
night of the 22d. He was delighted beyond
measure. Never in the rosiest hour of his
dreams of progress had he expected to hear
from the ''Union men of Ohio" "such SEN
timents of freedom" and he declares 81.
81 had not expected to see the day when
the leaders of the strong party should vie
10Th each other 10 utter the strongest abolition
doctrines, THE NEGRo'S RIGHTS AND ALL, and
shout in the widest enthusiasm at every
denunciation of slavery, or praise OF eman-
cipation. j never expected to see the rul-
ing party of Ohio presenting so fully the
famous quotation of redeemed, regenerated
and disenthralled by the genius of univer-
sal emancipation" f BIZ 4
/ So, we have here the authority of a grave
Senator, who has for years occupied, place.
in the van of the Abolition party, that "theT
leaders of the strong party" here in Ohio's
Capital, from the Governor down to Repre-
sentatives, on the night OF the 22d OF FED
ruary, 1866, "vied with each other to ut
ter the strongest Abolition doctrines, THE NE
GRo's RIGHTS AND ALL" No wonder that
the Senator from Ashtabula was surprised
no wonder he was delighted. What say
the people to this? Does it occasion them
joy, that the Governor, Lieutenant Gov
ernor and Senators and Representatives of
the same political faith, undertook to out
do each other in the strength of their ut
terances in behalf of Abolitionism and Ne
gro rights?" At the April election they will
have an opportunity OF pronouncing on
these utterances-eit indorsing or repro
batting them. Let the issue be raised and
passed upon. --- ..n ii

The Holmes County Farmer chronicles the
'greatest discovery Of the age" as just hav-
ing been made in that county. 1t consists
of an inexhaustible soap mine in an unex-
plored cavern that has long been known to
lie under the farm of Hon. D,1P. LEADBET-
TER, in Mechanic township. The party that
recently undertook its exploration struck
a vein of the best kind Of hard soap, seven
feet ten inches in thickness, about six hun-l
dred yards from the mouth Of the cavern,
and in the immediate vicinity of the mine a
well was discovered which will yield allthe
soft soap that can be taken out of 1t. A
stock company has been formed to work
these mines. None of livestock Is for sale
now-it all having been bought up. The
Farmer thinks that when the soap, coal and
oil Of Holmes county become fully devel-
oped, It will be one of the richest counties
