Rest Easy.

la our issue Of the 9th inst, in oommen-
ting on party issues and party Names we
suggested that the Republicans, inasmuch
as they were in favor Of negro suffrage and
negro equality, should change their party
name to that of BLACK Mans Party" and
added that the Democracy, holding this to
be a white mans government, made by
white men, and maintaining that it should
be controlled by white men, might properly
call themselves the "White Mans Party. "
This disturbed the bowels of the editor of
the Coshocton Aye to such an extent that
he garblcd an extract from our article 40 NJ
TO make US declare in favor Of dropping our
old party name and adopting new one,
ed comment on the same.
Neghbor DwyER, you took a small way
for making small amount of capital but
sou realized the expenditure of vast a
mount Of wind thereon. Hope you feel
better
Dear sir, you are personally passablc
clever fellow, but politically you are tn,
smallest kind of murphy" Your paper
tells such bare faced lies and resorts to sucl
transparent little tricks as to render you
ridiculous in the eyes of discerning men.
As an editor, you should sustain the dignity
Of the proiession-mak your paper honor
able, truthful and fair in criticism BY $,
doing you will be respected and gain inhu

A Black Man PreSides at u Re-
publican Meeting.

The Republicans of Obcrlin--black and
white, men and women-hcld meeting at
that place. on Friday evening, June 10th,
and organized, at first by calling white
man to the chair; but the blacks and their
immediate hackers very soon became dis
satisfied, and demanded that negro should
preside This demand was then immedi-
ately enforced by the meeting. A very re
spectacle white man was hustled out of the
chair, and very black African was placed
in it. }. NJ. Langston, the negro lawyer
of Oberlin, then led off in the meeting, and
demanded the election off delegation to go
to the County Convention at Elyria, the
next day, and insist upon the appointment
of "A delegation to the Abolition State Con
vcntion of the Dist of June, that should be
in favor of the nomination Of General Cox
for Governor--wlth negro suffrage Plat
form, if that could be secured; but General
Cox was declared to be in favor of negro
voting, and Indifference was expressed
whether there was a Platform at all, so he
received the nomination. -,StuteSnlun.

Military Interference at the
Kentucky Election.

1t would appear from the Lexington cor
respondent of the Lommc,cioi that there
is to be military interference at the coming
election in Kentucky. The correspondent
says 'that in order to enforce the State dis
franchising law of Confedcrates, and for
fear that some of the County Sheriifs and
election Judges should become weak in the
knees on the occasion, General Palmer pro
poses to have a few gentlemen in blue clothes,
standing alongside of them to give them
all necessary backing in his DISTINGUISHING. "
We are informed that it does not simply ap-
ply to men who have borne arms against
the Government, but also applies to "non-
combatants at home who have aided the
cause of treason.
We are assured that General Palmer has
prepared an order, which will be issued be.
fore the election, in which he will take
chaage of the polls to that end The idea
of the correspondent is, that the election is
to be so conducted that nobody will be al
lowed to vote who is not of the Radical
party. This course of action he cvedently
approves and indorses as far as a sense OF
decency will allow him to do so. There is q
law Of Congress strictly forbidding under
severe penalties, military interference in
elections, but itmay avail nothing, although
passed by the Radical majority in that bo.

The Philadelphia Inquirer says our stand

5O,000 Hancocks Corps, 10000; Veteran

In the way of officers we are to have one
General, five Lieutenant Generals, fifty Ma
ior-Generals, sevcnty-fve Brigadier Gencr-

and Majors. Here are one hundred and
thirty one Generals, with their Stats, which
it is proposed to support at the expense of
the people in time of peace. Can any one
tell what we want Of them? What will they
have to do except to draw their large sti-
lends from the public treasury? One hun-

We rarely pick up an exchange, these
days, that we do not see some account of n
rencounter between soldiers and negroes -
There seems to be an cnmity between the
two classes that has been embittered by the
attempt Of the Abolition party to elevate
the negro, and degrade the soldier to an
equal footing. The boys in blue" cannot
go this amalgamation doctrine, They have
the negro in all the glory of his dirt, lazi'

smoke Him Out!

''The boys in blue" seemed determined
to smoke General Cox out of his hiding
place, and compel him to declare for or
against giving the negroes the right to vote.
The soldiers detest sneak, whether in civil
or military life, and they wont vote for any
man who is ashamed or afraid of avowing
his opinions. None but spies and detectives
fear to be known.

Cons Pedigree.

The Abolition candidate for Governor
General Cox, is a model candidate for tha
party. He was born in Canada, is regarded
as rather an inefficient officer in the army,
and is n son-in- law Of President Finney, OF
Obcrlin College, where negroes and whites
walk arm in arm. Cox is evidently true
representative of the Abolition party, and
with his British instincts, will doubtless go
for DISTINGUISHING the poor white man, in
order to confer the. suffrage upon negroes.

In one ofGeneral SHERMAN's late speech

lie said, in substance, that a great many

could be accommodated, They had never
done any fghting-tho fight being all over

TO wander through life unblessed by thy love,
For those dear eyes of thine are now closed in

Now thy spirit has gone to those fair climes

That dear little hand I've so oft claspcd in mine
Oh, God must know it? It's turning to dust!

From the Ohto statesman
A soldiers Letter 10 Gen. COx--
They ASH him TO Define his
Position.

Some days ago we learned, incidentally,
that number of officers and soldiers, who
have seen service during the late war, had
addressed letter to General Jacob Dolson
Cox, the Republican candidate for Cover
nor, asking him certain questions as to his
views about Restoration and Negro Suf
frage. We have succeeded in procuring a
copy of the letter, which we print below
We understand that it was handed to the
General the day it was written; but it has
not yet been answered as we arc informed.
Ii is as follows
SOLDIERS LETTER TO GEN. COX.
COLUMBUS, O., July 3, 1865.
MaiorGcneral Cox, Commanding 23d Army
Corps:
Dear Sr AS your fellow soldiers and
fellow citizens, we congratulate you upon
your nomination as a candidate for Gov
crnor of Ohio; and as comrades desiring
your success, il there be concurrence OF
our views on certain public questions OF
great interest, we address you this note.
w C are only soldiers, and know nothing
of the tricks and schemes Of politicians
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.
1t is true that the Convention in general
terms indorsed the policy of President John
son, but it is equally true that few hours
after the adjournment of the Convention
General Schcnck declared in a speech in
front of the Capitol that he was opposed tc
receiving the representatives of the South
ern States into Congress, until they haC
shown their loyalty by giving the right o.
suffrage to the negro.
He further said that there were three
classes of persons in the South--the aristo
Gratis, who were sccessionists the "whitt
trash, meaning those loyal whites whc
have the misfortune to be poor and the
negroes, who were loyal to the core" AnC
if suffrage was extended to either Of thos,
classes, he wished it to be given the negro
1t is charged, General, that you are in ia
vor of placing the negro upon poitica
equality with white soldiers, and white cit
| izens.
In ORDER therefore, to give you an oppor
tunity to vindcate yourself from charges O
so damaging a character, We ask you tn
following questions
lst. Are you in favor of restoring tn,
Southern States to all their rights in tn,
Union, as proposed by President johnson
even if the right ofsuffragc is not extende,
to the negro?
I'd. Are you in favor of giving the negr
the right to vote in Ohio, and to confe
upon him all the other privileges ofa citizen
either now, or at any future time?
We feel it to be due to you to say that W
are in favor Of President johnson 5 plan o
reconstruction that we believe it to be tn,
duty of all loyal citizens to sustain the Gov
ernmcnt, and that we arc opposed to negr
suffrage now, or at any future time.
We arc, respectfully. your comrades an
