The End of the War.

1t has been ordered by the President
that "in all cases of sentences by mill
tary tribunals of imprisonment during
the war, the sentence be remitted and
the prisoners to be discharged" This
looks as though WE had reached that
a~uxiously prayed for and hitherto indef-
mite period known as "the termination of
the war" The surrender of KIRBY
SMITH put an end to further hostilities.
We would all be better convinced that
the war has really closed and could
more heartily realize that the
nation is at peace, were military courts
in the Northern States knocked "higher
thana kite" and the privilege of the
writ of Habeas Corpus restored to the
humblest citizen i'm the land. Let Presi-
dent JOHNSON do this, and then will the
people know that peace has indeed re
turned. We hope the President will
soon give us a day for Examinations, bon
Fl res, festivities, and rejoicings over the
restoration of law and the re-establish-
ment of civil liberty.

said: "CHAsE would make q very good

be laboring under his old disease, and it
leads Him to lower very much the digni.

striving to win the favor of the radicals

Archbishop Purcell, of this city, pub
fishes this week a circular letter, to the
pastors of the v~arious Catholic congre-
cations, enjoining Oh them the duty of
faithfully complying with the letter and
spirit of the proclamation of President
johnson, appointing Thursday, the first
day of June, to be observed as a day of
humiliation and prayer, that the bereave-
ment caused Ivy tire parricide Of the late
head of the nation may be sanctiied to
the public good. He directs: d
list. That our churches be kept open
during all the forenoon of Thursday, lst
of June.
I'd. That the holy sacrifice be offered in
them at the usual hours on ferias.
I'd. That after an instruction in ac-
cordance with the foregoing eOnsidera-
tons by the pastor. the prayer for the
authorities, which never has been, and
never should be, discontinued, especially
during the sessions of the national and
State Legislatures, be devoutly recited.

The Bishop then writes of our late be-
loved President in the following devout
and patriotic manner, suggestive Of the
spirit in which he would have the pastors
of the Catholic churches edify their peO-
pie Great crimes deserve, as far as men
oan atone, a corresponding explanation.
And we scarcely know o any crime, next
to that which Christians COMMUNICATED
and mourned on good Friday, the day of
the late Presidents assassination, more
enormous in all its aggravated guilt
than the murder of the great and good
man, the wise rulerand the devoted faith

loss these United States, and with them
all the nations of the earth, from the ris-
ing to the setting sun deplore.

Reaction,

Within the last week reaction has com
menccd in favor Of the Democratic nomi
nees. They are now stronger in the regard
of the people than they were ten days ago,
and from this time forward they will con
tinuc to grow in strength. The absence Of
undue excitement in politics is sign more
healthy. Moderate men are rejecting on
the tendency of the revolutionary doctrines
of the Republican leaders; they see them
laws to carry out a mandatory
provision oft Constitution; they see them
making Jurors out of negroes in Massa-
chusetts, where they admit negro to citi-
zenship after a one years residence, al
though fugitive slave, and require of a
with man born in Germany, Ireland, Eng
land, Scotland, or any other European Gov
ernment, an additional residence of two
years after naturalization, being equivalent
to a residence of seven years; they have
seen Republican Supreme Court of Ohio
decide that a mulatto is "a white citizen Of
the United States;" they see that the Re
publican Platform declares the negro is the
equal of the white man, and they are coming
to the determination to defeat this party
They are beginning to realize the fact, that
the aly way by which the sectional and
negro equality party can be defeated, is for
all men opposed to it to unite with us, and
they will do it IVarerly Democrat.

To the Soldiers Of Ohio.


The undersigned, your comrades in the
late war sgalnst the rebellion, and for the
Union, feel it their duty to define their po
sition in the present political contest
Seven letters were written to Genera
Cox, by soldiers from different parts of the
State, requesting him to declare his view,
upon the question of Negro Suffrage, but
he has treated our comrades with contempt
by refusing to reply to their letters; while
he did promptly answer when questioned by
the negro Hale, at Oberlin, to whom he in
substance declared that he was in favor OF
Negro Suffrage in Ohio.
On the contrary General Morgan said in
accepting his nomination:
81 am opposed to Negro Suffrage in Ohio
or in the South, now, or at any future time
or under any circumstances
Believing this to be white mans Gov.
ernment, we will vote for General Morgan
and the Democratic ticket generally.
