The Journal Of this morning has lAbored
hard to convince the working men Of Day
ton that the Abolition party is friendly to
the labor movemeAt.
While il is on this subject, will It it,
form the working men OF Dayton why the
Abolition legislatures Of Pennsylvania and
Minnesota passed stringent laws at their
last session, making it a criminal offense
for laborers to strike for higher wages ?
And why such law was introduced into
the Legislature Of Ohio ?
/ Will it also inform us why these friends
of Labor, who own and control all the
Railroads running into Dayton. have cut
down the wages of employees from fifteen
to twenty per cent, when the prices they
were getting before the reduction was made,
were scarcely sufficient to keep their fami'
lies,
And also why an Abolition Congress
exempted United States Bonds, principally
in the hands of rich men, from taxation,
thereby throwing the burthen of taxation
on real estate and compelling those OF the
industrial classes who may own their own
little homes, or who have to rent to pay,
more than their just proportion of tax
alton. A WoRKINo MAN.

The way the Election In louis
vile WAS Conducted.

The Louisville correspondent Of the Chr
cago Times thus writes
AT toe usual hour, on the morning OF the
election, the polls were opened but this
was no sooner done than armed guards OF
soldiers were ,laced in close proximity 10
them, aud although it is alleged that they
were not placed there for the purpose OF direct
interference, they were undoubtedly there Tor
the purpose Of intimidating oil who wished to
vote against radical measures, and thus Sc
cure the election OF the Abolition candidates
After this was done, several detectives were
stationed at the different voting precincts,
aud they would accuse Democratic voters OF
being rebels, &c when they would nj once be
arrested and hurried off. Early in the day a
number OF our most influential citizens were
arrested, aud thus the farce was fully played.
The result was that the Radicals carried the
city, the vote being small one In one
ward of this city, the llth, which has never
before poed over 400 votes. $50 were cast,
663 of which were for the Radical candidates
The Government ambulances were freely,
used as electioneering chariots, and numbers
of soldiers, who had never lived in this State
we're permitted 10 vote, while old and well
known citizens were refused that privilege
"In one precinct OF the 10th Ward gentle
man by the name oil Mr. KieIolf, after be
had voted the Democratic ticket, was accused
OF being rebel, having printed circulars
&C., for the rebels, and was placed under ar
rest without the slightest grounds for the &C
cusations. 1t was then said that his vote
weud be stricken from the poll books, bu,
Instead of this, the vote was changed from the
Democratic candidates to the Republican, as
an examination Of the poll book to-day

Atlantic and Great western
Rail- Road.

SALAMANCA, August TO- 1868
ED. EAPlRE; This is our Grst trip on the
new aud most direct Rlilroad route from Day
ton to New York, and thus far we have not
only been pleased with the novelty Of passing
over new route, but find that the Atlantic
and Great Western Company have left moth
ing undone that is calculated to render this
the most comfortable through route to New
York. The cars are oil new, splendidly fitted
up, we'll ventilated, aud the seats are wide
enough to accommodate ladies and gentlemen
Of the most ample dimensions, without beiug
crowded
The country through which we have passed
has, much of it, been destitute OF railroad fa-
cililies, although the finest agricultural dis
trict in the West The grain, -four, pork,
beef, tobacco whisky, cheese, butter, and
other products Of our fertile State, can now
be shipped, ut all seasons Of the year, direct
to New York. in three or four days This
places the great Commercial Metropolis at
our very doors and as passenger route
cannot be exceled BY any other,
There art but few cities and towns Of much
every station, show new ! fe and great activ'
ity, aud the tune is close at hand when the
whole road will be hned with new villages.
The towns OF Urbana, Gallon, Mansfield,
Akron, Ravenne and Meadvillc, are among
the most important ou our route, but other
places are spriDging up, and will soon become
important points
The Company seem to have kept steadily
ir view the idea of having the most direct
broad and substantial rail road for all time tc
come from New York to 81. L2us without
regard to cities already built, and afford
greater facilities to the agricultural districts
All who visit the oil region, take this route
and it is most important region at the pres
ent time We are told that new town o
five thousand persons has been built within
The last ninety days. Rents are enormous
+ Some shanties bring higher rents than th'
best business houses ia New York. Mead
vile, thirty miles irom Oil City, Is the grea
1 pot OF oil; bat as we passed through in tn
night, we could only see the lights Of th
mammoth reGneries, and smell oil, The pas
sengets who got on our train there, were al
oil and gave US much valuable information
which we would like to impart to your read
ers, but as the train is about starting W
must close this letter, and you shall hear Irou
US again When we have a chance to write.

The Louisville Democrat, in an article
npon the Kentucky election, thus speaks of
the manner in which it was conducted in
Lexington'
San the white soldiers in and about the
city were removed, and colored soldiers sub
stituted---two regiments of infantry and one
of cavalry-to keep order at the election -
The reason Of this was plain. White solders
might not be such ready Instruments. OF
GERS OF white regiments would be reluctant to
seize and imprison men on the bare word of
a partisan, bat negro soldiers and the officers
of negro regiments, it can be inferred would
be the willing instruments Of oppression =
1t is true, the same illegal acts we're done
at other places, but the fact that the negroes
were preferred in this instance, shows that
they are esteemed the reader instruments Of
tyranny"

The journal editor is troubled again
this morning. Poor fellow His giz-
zard is clear up in his throat. Somebody
has been calling hard names. Of course
he never does such things. Do MT mind
it, Sorrellie. Schenck will reward you
for SO smart a saying as that he "made
Vallandigham dance around the District" >"
He will give you something. May be, O
photograph of some one of the old ladies
he so boldly captured in the region of Bal
timore, when he was Major General. Il
SO, it will serve you as lasting memorial
of his greatest military achievement.
But as for making Vallandigham
dance, &C., we don't quite see it. Val
landigham made him dance out of the ole
Third District to the tune of about siz
hundred majority, and he was smuggled
into Congress only by means of Abolition
Legislation. This Schenck is a wonderful
fellow; but the only thing he ever die
"make" successfully was time between vi
emma and Washington.

Red Heads.

The negro equality organ tacitly en-
dorses the following, which it credits to
the Chicago Times: at is an indication OF
moral turpitude for Irish mothers to be
red-headed and bare-legged."
This is a new idea to MS, and there may
be something in it. If there is, it will to
some extent account for the "moral turpi-
tude" of the aforesaid organ, which is q
decidedly "red-headed institution all
over. The color of its heart may be judg'
ed by its daily out-pourings. "Out o
the abundance of the heart tue mouth
speaketh."

NV Yonk, August u, 1865
H. d. s.

Ep. ENpIRE-From Salamanca, where the
Dayton division of the Broad Gauge Atlantic
ana Great Western K. Il, terminates, 10 this
City, we have travelled over The N. Y. 4 Erie
r. r. for the first time in ten years. and
although we knew the New. Workers were
fast people, we have been most agreeably
surprised al the wonderful improvement OF
the towns and country through which we have
passed Then large portion of the Western
Division passed through forest with here
aud there lonely cubin Vt wood and water
station. Now, the whole line of the road 10
cultivated, with few exceptions, aud the lonely
stations have many Of them become poruous
towns. This is another proof OF the import
ance OF having rail road communication with
new country, in order to develope its re.
sources. The n. \. & Erie, like the Atlantic
aud Great Western, took the most direct route
to the West, without regard to cities, towns
mountains or rivers, and by this means they
have developed the mineral and agricultural
resources Of a country that might have re-
mained in slate OF nature tor hundi eds OF
years Elmira, Bnghamton, Corning Port
Jervis, and Patterson, are among the towns
and cities along this route that have had the
most rapid growth but all along the road
there is a continuous succession Of fine farms,
cities, towns and villages, The fields and
trees are clothed with fresh green verdure,
not unlike their usual appearance in May,
and much of the oats is not yet cut Wheat,
barley, and bay have turned out well, and the
corn looks promising. Fruits, particularly
apples, peaches and pears, are very abundant,
and all kinds Of agricultural products unu-
sually good. There has not been much rain
here lately, am informed, until the last few
days.
The scenery along the NJ Y. 4 Erie, as
we'll as the Atlantic and Great Western, is
grand and beautiful, particularly along the
Allegheny and Susquehsnnah rivers and
the road bed is as firm and smooth as house
aoOr. At every town along our route, from
Dayton TO New York, we received new &c.
cession OF through passengers, which reminded
us very much Of our large Western rivers, that
increase in size until they reach the sea-
When we arrived at New York, the small
streamlet that left Dayton had increased to a
mighty ocean The conductors, and other
employees of the road, are uniformly courte-
Gus to passengers, and not unwilling to answer
anyieivil question. The Atlantic and Greal
Western, as well as N, Y. & Erie, employ
none but gentlemen of experience and fdel
ity to conduct it's affairs, who are always on
time
In my next letter shall have something to
say about New York, place not much larger
a hundred years ago than Dayton now is,

TOady Logic.
"Oisll the funny things that live
In woodland, marsh or log,
That creep the ground or hy the air,
The ftnuiest IL the frog

The JfnHiea ~ the rof''
These lines have peculiar and iorcible
application, when called to mind by the
perusal Of an editorial in the Abolition
organ up street, under the caption OF
'Coppcrhead Organ Drawing Conclusions.
The man whose special vocation is to at
tend to the evening paper" must have
been out Of town for some days, or the
Journal would have responded to these
conclusions" much sooner than it has.
The Journal has remarkable faculty
for "imputing false doctrines to its poll
tical opponents aud a most fragrant dis
regard Of the ommandment-"Thou shall
not bear false witnes against thy neigh
bOr." Its many intelligent readers have
often had occasion to wonder at its apti-
tude and pertinacity in clearing false
witness" to the doctrines of our fathers as
promulgated in the Constitution, and in
regard to the recent history of the country;
especially when it asserts that "no mill
tary arrests have been made and no such
trials have been held since the war began"
1t is certainly very fortunate for the Journ-
al that no "oath of allegiance" to truth is
imposed upon it by the government
It's persistence in manufacturing and put
ting forth falsehood has become proverbial
so much so, that many people believe
it acts upon the principle that lies best
suit its purpose as premises from which
to draw absurd conclusions. Like jeal-
ocsy, the "green-eyed monster" t"doth
make the meat it feeds upon"
The Journals conclusions" as to the
points embraced in the call of the Demo
cratic Central Committee are of a piece
with the fellows, who undertook to Prov
himself a prince by this syllogism
Queen Victoria is woman--my mothel
. is woman-therefore Queen Victoria i,
my mother" Especially is this the case
when it argues that, Taxation of Unite
States bonds is repudiGtion Democrat
= favor taration OF United States bonds
therefore Democrats are in favor Of repu
/ diation,'
On every other point its premises ant
1 conclusions rank with the above in the
relation to, and connection with eact
other. These "leaps in logic are so com
mon with the journal, that we have re
= garded them as scarcely worthy of repl.
, or comment They are among the suppl
implements used by every demagogue t.
arouse the preiudices of the people ant
thus secure their support. 1t is the gam
which the party in power is now playing
D but it will fail The days Of abolition

The Journal is trying to produce the
impression that it is supporting General
Cox. who, it says, is opposed to negro
suffrage; and at the same time is bringing
all the big guns of the abolition party to
bear on his position. This is only in ac-
cordsnce with the Journals usual tactics.
1t is significant fact, that, whom the Sc
