Another COIOred Man CsmmI ssiOned.
It is but few days since we ehronicled
the appointment of Martin r. Delaney,
cOlOred man, to Majority iu colored
regiment, as the first commission, for serv-
ice in the field, issued to q celored man
A second has already been issued to 0. s.
B. Wall, 8 cOlored citizen Of 0berlin, ap-
pointing him to the rsnk of Captain. We
are doubly gratifed at this appointment,
not only because it indicates the intention
of the Government to issue commissions to
all cOlored men worthy of holding them,
but because it confers an appointment up
on q mEn sminently deserving of it. Mr..
Wall was one of the E0berlin rescuersp ar
raigned in 1883 before the United States
Court in this city for sn alleg-
ed violation of the Fugitive Slave
Lsw. Since the commencement of
the war, he has, though q member
Of 8 hitherto prescribed race, devoted most
of his time and services to the government.
Under the authority of Governor Tod,
he cGnvassed Southeastern Ohio to recruit
for the Fifth and Twenty-seventh United
States Colored Troops, which were raised
in this State, and his exertions contributed
greatly TO the success with which these
regiments met. Ex-Governors Dennison
and Tod, whose confidence he has gained
by his discharge of this duty, recommend
ed him TO the War Department, and, after
passing highly successful examination
before the Board, he was commissioned as
Captain and ordered to report to General
SsxtOa, st Hilton Head, to be assigned to
regimentsl duty. He was mustered in on
Monday last. Mr.. Wall was assured that
he might have higher grade, his e1amin-
alton justifying it. but he preferred to earn
promotion by meritorious service in the
field. Hepsssed through the city yester-
day, on his way from Washington to his
home in 0berlin, and will soon be on his
way to South Carolins. Captain Wal
will make 8 capital officer, and will do
credit J. Jt only to himself but to his race.

The Last OF the Ohio Black laws Re-
peaIed.

A bill repeating the act Of April 2, 1889,
to prohibit persons having "Visible sd-
mixture of African descent from voting st
elections, has passed both houses Of our
State Legislature and has doubtless ere this
received the official sanction of the Cover
NOT. By this action the Legislature has
honored itself and the State. The last of
the Black Laws which have disgraced the
state by odious and arbitrary political dis
examinations has been wiped off the stat
ute book. The government of the state
has been made republican in fact as well
as in name. Heneeforward the colored
citizens of Ohio, who have proven them
selves as public-spirited and patriotic IS
any class of the community, will not be de-
barred the privileges of thepolls.

was tremendous jam. All the nobodies

hours to ride from the gate to the White
House door, and as much longer to get to
the East Room. ALI the arrangements
were sbominsble. The President shook
hands with everybody, and said, " How

half torn of, and he looked perfectly ex-

What Shall be Done witt, Tfscrs,!

From the Nashville {Tenn.) Press Apr. TO-
Already the press Of the country has
began the discussion of the subjects ere
ated by the war, and which have been
disposed of by legislation. One prominen
topic in which the entire people are inter
ested is the disposition of tie negroes
No one can confidently predict the course
OF the general government in the premises
but the tiuIe is not far distant when the
matter will have to be disposed Of. To
farm them out like Chinese coolies, as is
practiccd in Louisiana, re establishes a
sort Of slavery. 70 leave them to their
own devices were still worse, for they
would soon be an intolerablc ruisance.-
Their seeming instinct is to burrow il
large cities, where, if they were So dispo
sed, they could not all find support, and
would at once come into rivalry with
white labor, always more valuable to both
the laborers and the master. 1t has been
suggested that portion Of our unsettled
territory be set apart, and that they be
colonized upon it as rapidly as possible,
the government exercising q supervision
and protection over them, through It's
agents sent with them TO instruct them
in their duties as freemcn, and to educate
them individually.
This plan viii not on the whole, We
opine, please the mass Of our people SO
we'll as the scheme to colonize the freed
men abroad. The prejudice against their
color it does not seem possible to eradi :
cate. and it will always be bar to their
advancement. and viii cut off those incen-
tives to labor and Improvement that the
poorest white man may feel with no bar
to his ambition. That this would be 4
gigantic undertaking need not be confess
ed, but it could be done, and the negroes
themselves would finally pay the expense
attending it, and we should in any case
be well rid ot an clement that, ia our
midst, would always be a terrible an
noyance. TO plant them in one OF our
territories would not sufficiently Isolate
them from the white race to prevent the
evils We have mentioned, though it would
obyiate the disagreeableness of leaving
them scattered among us, Irresponsible
and useless as q class, and a reproach to
the nation that sacrificed so much fer
their liberty, yet left them uucared for in
the end.

Hsr. and. MRS. John Kick.

Mr. Francis, Of the Troy Times, who
has just returned from visit to the army
Of the Potomac, relates that he saw, at the
residence of Mr. Holt, within our lines
Mrs. John Kick, nee Miss Tyler, whose
romantic marriage with Il Buffalo boy was
matter OF newspaper gossip some months
ago. We quote as follows:
':Miss Tyler was niece and adopted
daughter of John Tyler, and was residing
in the mansion of the deceased vice presi-
dent. few miles above here. The sold
Ter referred to, fell out of line on the
march Of our army as Gen. Grant was pre-
pairing to cross TO the north side Of the
james river Kick was sick, very sick
John sought protector. lie entered the
Tyler mansion. lie was kindly received
bv Miss Tyler; she watched over him and
nursed him to health. John Kick was
grateful. He fell in love with his kind
protector and fair nurse. John proposed
marriage. Miss Tyler was willing And
very promptly the twain were made
onc-Mr. and Mrs. John Kick. John
achieveda a triumph; Miss Tyler got hel
Kick. John obtained furlough, and
the Kicks enjoyed their honeymoon
John has been favored soldier ever since
the romantic adventure. He is now doing
duty at City Point The Tyler mansion
having been abandoned because of the toe
frequent visitations of gucrrillas and raid
ing parties, Mrs. Kick now resides with
her friends, the family of Mr. Holt
John frequently comes down to see his
beloved lie is an honest hearted, intel
ligcnt union soldier; she is an accomplish
ed and aflectionate wife. Thus we have
true love and romance in real life, in the
connubial felicity of Mr.. and Mrs. John
Kick She is doing as we'll as could be
eIpected. &c"
