Decision on the Right of DeserferS
10 Vote,

An important case,was decided by Judge
WARREN, of the Cincinnati Police Court, ON
Thursday last, involving the right of . de
serter 20 vote. \ man named JoHN RYAN
voted in the Eighth Ward, in Cincinnati.
in October last, and was soor after arrested,
on the ground that he had been disiran-
chised by the act of Congress- OF March Sd.
1865, which declared decitiZenation should
follow deseTtion, and on the following day
was arraigned before Judge WARREN. but
his case was continued from time 80 time
till Thursday, when it was finally disposed
ofby his discharge.
As the case is an important one, we give
the points made by Judge PRUDEN, she de-
fendants attorney, which were as follows
|. II the prisoner deserted the service.
it was in 1862, before the passage of the dis
franchising act of Congress, which could
not be mace retroactive.
.. There was only evidence from the
military reports. that John Ryan had de-
serted from Company ID, 4th Ohio Cavalry,
in October, 1862, and the party before the
Court was not identified as the man.
3. If the fact of desertion, as alleged.
were proven, and Ryan was Unidentified rs
the party, and the Court were to construe
the law as retroactive, still the act of dis
franchisement could not take place till
Ryan had been convicted of desertiOn by a
court of competent jurisdiction, which
would be a court martial The Judges of
election could not decide upon the
guilt or innocence of the party in other
words could not decide whether or not the
party was guilty or the crime of desertion
any more than they would be competent to
convict man of larceny.
4. An act of Congress could not disfran-
chise any one, as the whole question of
suffrage lay with the States.
Judge PRUDEN argued these points ut
considerable length, aud Judge WARREN,
after careful deliberation, decided,
l. That an net of Congress could not be
made retroactive, and II deserter in 1862
could not be punished under law passed
in 1865.
2. The evidence of identity, so raised by
the defendants counsel, was one of tact,
and he was not satisfied that the identity
had been established.
3. A conviction by n court-martial would
be necessary TO disfranchise. The Judges
of election are not jurors 10 try criminals,
and can only rule out the vote of party
guilty of crime which carries disfranchise-
ment with it, upon the fact being estab-
lished that a conviction before Il competent
tribunal has taken place.
Judge WARREN did not touch upon the
fourth point made by Judge PRUDEN's ar
gument, as that was entirely unnecessary

South Carolina and the COnstitu.
tiOnal Amendment.

Ex-Provisional Governor PERRY, of
South Carolina, publishes a long letter ad-
dressed to CHARLES w. WOODWARD, of
Philadelphia, in reply to a letter from that
gentleman, urging South Carolina to ratify
the Constitutional Amendment. Governor
PERRY takes the ground that the Southern
States may be ruined, but can not be dis
honored and disgraced except by their own
acts. He expresses the conviction that the
amendment can never gain the assent of
three-fourths of the States. He reviews
sections of the amendment seriQtina, and
gives his views against each at some length.
Haeloses his letter in these words: "Let
me concludeby assuring you that as feeble
as South Carolina may be, and as powerless
as you say she is to protect herself, she is
nevertheless able TO maintain. amid all her
expressions, her honor unsullied, aud will
never voluntarily accept her own degrade
tion."

The New Orleans Crescent states Curl
ous fact in reference to the commerce of
New Orleans. Instead of being exporters
of sugar and molasscs. as was formerly the
case, both are largely imported.
The great sugar plantations ON the low
lands Of Louisiana are deserted. Once of
great value. they are now almost worth
less. Like the rich plantations of Jamaica,
they are deserted and desolatc. The nc
grocs cannot be hired to work them to adj
vantage, for the negroes will work only
when II suits their ease and convenience.
Without reliable labor, sugar plantations
cannot be made profitable. There are
periods when few days time sDoil an en-
tire crop if it is not properly cared for.
Whether white labor can be made availa-
bic upon those sugar plantations Is mat
ter of gravest doubt. Already the lands
have been grown over with reeds and

will be required to bring them under u

WILKES BooTH.-The La Crosse Democrat
does not believe that JOHN WILKES BooTH
is dead. 1t says:
''The papers are now having much TO say
about Booth, whether he be dead or not.
John Wilkes Booth was alive on the 18th
day of July, 1856. The man who was kill
ed was not Booth, but another person muir
dered In order TO obtain the reward offered
for his capture. Time will unrayel the ball
1fmystery now connected with the affair,
and show the beauties of Stanton's detective
system. Again we repeat earnest and GER
tainly. that John Wilkes Booth never was
taken to Washington either wounded or
dead. and that he was alive in July of this
year"

The New Issue.

The Alta Californian says: Certain
persons are stamping base metal into the
semblance of coin, covering by galvanic
process with q thin coat of gold, and selling
1t to simple people as pure gold. This
business has been carried on extensively
Some Of the quarters coined are of a fair
quality of gold, but contain only about
twelve and half cents worth of the
article" That makes the new issue worth
just twelve and half cents more on the
dollar than the stuff which the Treasury
Department at Washington has been scat
tering all over the country for several
years.
