Curious Coincidence,

Judge Lang, of Seneca, the Democratic
nominee for Lieutenant Governor, and
Charles Boesel, of Auglaizc, the candidte
for member of the Board of Public Works,
arc both Germans by birth. They were but
mere lads when they left the fathcrland to
carve out their fortunes in the New World.
They made each others acquaintance on
board the sailing vessel they had embarked
upon for this country, and during the voy-
age they became warmly attached to each
other. Arriving az BGaltipnrc. these honest
Dutch boys, s4ouldereGl their packs, and,
afoot, crossed the Alleghcnies with their fl
ces toward the West. AT Pittsburgh they
parted and for number of years lost sight
of each other, and did not meet again1lDtil
they met each other as members of the Gen
cral Assembly Of Ohio, Judge Lang as Sen
ator, Bocsol as member of the House. On
the same day, these honest German boys,
one now a lawyer of established reputation
and fine ability, the other successful mer-
chant, are honored with nominations on the
Democratic State tic kct for prominent and
responsible offices the great commonwealth
which they have seen grow and prosper with
amazing rapidity, since friendlcss and poor
their weary. feet first pressed its hospitable
soil. Two honcster and better men do not
live in the State: and the German Democracy
of Ohio ever faithful and never untrue, will
be especially gratifed with the compliment
paid them in the prominence given to those
who SO well represent the thrifty element
which has transformed the great North h-west
section of our State from a vast forest into
a scene of busy toll and honest contentment.

Negro Soldiers Drugged with
ChlOrOfOrm and Robbed


The l25th regiment United States colored
infantry are on duty at the military prison in
this city. The presence of Major Williams,
with his safe filled with grccnbacks, among
them on Wednesday, caused many row of
ivory to shine, and many pair of headlights
to glisten. lie paid them off in full and
left them rejoicing in and around the prison.
We were of the opinion that negroes could
stand the smellof anything that tman or beast
could stomach. Chloroiorm knocks them.
No sooner had the paymaster gone than the
news Of the payment reached the ears Of
posse Of negro females in the ncighborhood,
andthcy soon resolved to go for dem niggas.
Night came on and the females came out,
each the possor of enough chloloiom to put
Il mule to sleep so sound that they could
steal his teeth without hurting him.
The work was going bravely on, when
some Of the officers of the prison discovered
that something had broken loose among the
negroes. One Of the negroes who was on
duty at the gate was found curlcd up in Il
hard knot, with his gun under him, his eyes
and mouth shut so tight that they could not
have been blown open with gunpowder -
His pocket was turned inside out and his
money gone. He was brought to his senses
in an hour, aud said she didn't know how
it cum, but de gal was kivered with pitrolum
lie, or sumlin." At n later hour another
was found in the commons, near by, appa-
rcntly dead, and half hidden by the grass
and dog lennel. He was dozed good. His
breath couldn have been drawn with a cork
screw. His hair curlcd gracefully. His
pockets were turned inside out bcautS(uly,
and his money gone entirely" He was
rolled over and rubbed until "lifc's litlul fe-
YER was shaken out of him, and he muster
ed strength enough to softly mumur, Gen
tcmen, is | all hcah? Is been slccpin in
bed with poecat?"
Another darkey curled over in the prison
yad and shouted, 'dey'' 5 lie in dis prison,
sho. " he woke up with his money gone.
Yesterday the negroes would grab THEN
noses in one hand and their money in the
other, whenever a negro wench came near
them, but they were SPEEDING it carelessly,
believing they had better spendit while they
had chance for in the language of one Of
them, "Ef night Gums an you boys got any
left, dem female nGgers cum round hcall
wild dat stuff and steal it ebbcry cent. !"

The Returned Soldiers After &,
Republican Candidate.

One Captain CURRY is the Republican
candidate for Representative in Lucas coun-
ty, o. The day he was nominated, the fol-
lowing incident took place, which is thus
narrated by the Toledo Record. 1t says
"Some soldiers, who had real or imag-
mary difficulties to settle with CAPTAIN
Curry, the Republican nominee for Repre-
sentative, swore that they would buck and
gag him, and made for him, or went for
him, as they expressed it, for the purpose
Of doing so. The Captain ran from them as
fast as he could, and took shelter in store,
after running some fifty rods. Here he
thought himself safe, but in this he was
much mistaken. They soon drove him from
his hiding. place. lie then ran across the
street, and into another store, q crowd of
some two or three hundred running after
him, only few of whom wished to do him
harm, the balance out of mere curiosity we
suppose, for they made no effort to assist
the Captain.
Gle remained but short time in this
latter place of refuge till he was forced tC
run for his life again, and ran into q third
store, which he was forced to leave in very
few minutes, his pursuers now at his heels
striking and kicking him whenever they
could, as he ran through the crowd. w,
We're told that he was Knocked down three
times, but we did not see him knocked dowr
at all; We saw him once on the ground, bu
supposed he fell in attempting to run through
the crowd. Here two or three friends ren
derod him little assistance, and he got ou
of the crowd and ran as fast as he could
pursued as before; but this time he out
stripped his pursuers, and got into his bugg,
and drove home.
We should judge from this that the sol
dier vote for Captain CURRY would not b
very large.

it will lie satisfied with nothing less; it will
be unsclfish and earnest in its support it
will be determined and active in its oppo-
sition it rises above party aims; it ban
ishcs party aspirations; it will be true to
him, whoever he may be, who will be true
to the Constitution and the country.
The questions now in controversy touch
the very organization of the Federal Gov
crnment. They revive the old theories of
confederation and consolidation. They are
hidden under spurious and deceptive names.
Reconstruction, as our opponents use the
word, means not the restoration of the Union,
but reconstruction of the Constitution
change in the framework of the Government,
and every change proposed is in dlminution
of the States, an aggrandizemcnt of the
Federal Government. Delay in roconstruc-
ton means that military Governments are
to be used to effect them The tendency of
war is to consolidation. We must resist it.
1t will lead to dcspotism. Local self-gov
ernment, the rights of the States, confcdcr-
alton. These are the only hope of liberty
Our fathers saw this and they formed a
confederation. In few and simple words,
they established the test of all questions. -
''All powers not delegated are reserved.
let US bring all to this test Let us solve
them by it, and as far as human wisdom can
effect it, we escape all dangers. Shall We
change that test now? Shall We destroy
the States? Shall we impair their powers?
Are we wiser, more patriotic more honest
than our fathers? No. Let US restore the
Government as they molc it. They gave
us blessing; let US beware that We do not
make it curse.
The speech was warmly received, and
cicitcd throughout marked attention and
great applause.

.Inly lst, 1873

The Aholitionists of Manoning county,
following the lead of their brethren in
Cuyahaga, passed the following resolution
at their County Convention held few days
since:
"Rcsolrcd, That our Senator and Repre-,
sentative be instructed and urged to amend
the Constitution and laws of Ohio, so as to
strike the word white" thcrcfrom, and
grant universal suffrage, y
We do not think the Abolitionists of
Mahoning county have paid much respect
to the views of Gov, Tod, or they would not
have passed a resolution of this kind, when
they know he is opposed to universal suf-
iragc The Governor will either have to
vote as directed by his present associates, or
"scratch the ticket, After his Warren
speech, we should think he could not do
otherwise than scratch Plain Deaicr.

Complains Bitterly.

General Cox complains bitterly because
the Democratic State Convention resolved
against Negro Suffrage and Negro Equality.
He asserts that they did this for the pur-
pose of arousing prejudice against the Abo.
lition party, Why did he not take decided
ground against Negro Suffrage and Negro
Equality when the soldiers intcrrogatcd
him on the subject? Had he done so the
Democrats could not arouse any prejudice
against his party on the suffrage question -
