Has Not Done II Vet.

About four wecksago a number of soldiers
from this county addressed letter to Gen
erll Cox, asking him to define his position
on the negro suffrage question. The ques-
tion was put 50 direct that it only required
Y rs or NO for reply. Gen. Cox has
failed to notice the letter, as he has a mum
Der of others from soldiers. He could not
plead press Of business, or want of time,
because he could write an answer in five
minutes. Why is it? Soldiers, il he is not
in favor of negro suffrage, do you not think
he might say so, when so many letters have
been sent him on that question? We are
told by the Tribune that he will answer on
the 9TH Of October, the day he is to be in
1iln. We will see.
For the sake Of saving time, we would ad
wise the soldiers to cut out the following ques-
tions, and present them to him for an an
swcr They can be answered by the short
words y rs or NO.
Are You in favor of striking the word
"WHlTE from the Constitution of Ohio ?
Are you in favor Of the negroes voting in
Ohio?
Arc you in favor Of President johnson 5
Reconstruction Policy?
Are you in favor ola law prohibiting ne
grocs from coming into Ohio?
II only requires a short answer to each of
these questions, and surely General Cox will
not deny the boys this small favor. We
shall see --,SeHccd idrc,tiScr.

Cox and Morgan.

In his speech at Chillicothc, General Cox
asks why General Morgan left the service.
If that gentleman will recur to the order of
Major General McClernand relieving Gen
cral Morgan from the command of the 18th
Army Corps, he will there find that General
Morgan left the service i'll consequence OF
his health being broken down by the toll
and exposures of the war.
We have question to ask: Why does
General Cox remain in the army after the
war is over? Why does he continue to
draw nineteen dollars per day for doing
nothing? General Cox, like the Provost
Marohals, seems determined to cling to the
Treasury if not to the sword, until the Gov
ernment is forced TO muster him out along
with other supernumerarics.
Another question; Why was it that, il
the biographical sketch of General Cox, nc
mention is made of hisSalt campaign against
Echols in the Kanawha Valley in the fal
of 1862?
Echols, with twelve hundred wagons and
five thousand men, crossed the mountain,
and entered the Kanawha Valley, and Cox
with thirty thousand men in three columns
marching from opposite directions, was sen
to cut Echols off. But while Cox was radi
ant under two stars in Columbus and Gin
climate, Echols quietly withdrew witt
twelve hundred wagon-loads of salt anC
the thirty thousand of Gen, Cox did no
disturb him
This brilliant maneuvrc cause one of th'
stars to drop from Cox $ shoulders, and h
rotated back to Brgadiership but h,
aiterward threatened to resign unless pro
NOTED, and through tie influence Of Vdd
and Chase he tods promoted, - Sdtesn,on
