tried in the Court of Common Pleas
during the past week.
James A. Welsh vs.. Stephen Vaughn.
One Bolser Wollam undertook to build
house for Vaughn, and employed
Welsh to work tor him, (Wollam) on
said house. Vaughn bought judg-
ment upon Wollam, and attempted to
set it off against Wollam's claim for
work. Welsh then attempted to take
mechanics lien upon said house. The

trial tedious. The jury rendered a
special verdict, In favor Of Welsh, for
500 80. Trip & Hastings for plaintiff,

eTThe Jackson Standard says, "fvc
colored men voted in Lick township at
the recent election" The Standard
further says, there are a good many
people (the Standard Editor among the
number, we suppose,) "who believe
that loyal negro (and negroes are all
loyal'' have as much right to vote as
Democrats.
We find tho above in the Circleville
Democrat. Now here is what we said,
and all wO said, in that article:
THE NEGROES,
Five colored men voted in Lick
township at the recent election. Under
Democratic decision they were legal
voters, being more than half white
Some Of the copperheads tore around
dreadfully, no doubt thinking that the
Constitution" was tore up. There are
a good many people who believe that
loyal negro, (and negroes are all loyal, y
has as much right to vote as the sneaks
and towards who ran off to Canada to
avoid saving the country during the
Democratic rebellion.
We hoped that after the election, our
Democratic friends would have some
regard for the truth but from such
articles as the above, we have lost all
hope. Our neighbors know that we
have never taken ground in favor of ne
groes voting, When women are per-
mitted to vote, 1t will be time enough
to extend the elective franchise to ne
groes This is our idea of a constitu-
tional provision upon this question:
"All persons over twenty one years
of age, not convicted of any crime,
actual residents OF any township, shall
be permitted to vote at all elections"
This would let in all foreigners, wo-
men and negroes, provided they had
become bona fde residents of any town
ship in this State, What objections
can be urged against thisi None, ex.
cept it be said that the negroes have
not the necessary amount of intelligence.
Upon this point We win make tho fol-
lowing proposition to those Democrats
who arc making so much fuss about the
Eve mulattoes voting in Lick township.
Go to the poll-books and get the
names of all the Democrats who voted
on the 9th of October. Put these
nannes in hat or box, and let mar
blindfoldcd, draw out five Of these
names. Let the Democratic Contra
Committee bo the jadees before whom
these FIVE average Democrats be sum
moned to appear, and we win have th'
five mulattO voters meet them, and al
to be examined by said Central Com
mittee, aud If the mnlattoes are not tht
superioFs OF the Democrats in ever
particulaE, morally, mentally, religious
ly DO, . judged by the Democras
themselves, we will always thereafter
