uCongress On she Right Of suffrage.

The House Of Representatives has given
a defnite expression of its views on equal
suffrage by its vote on Mr.. Kelly;s bill
granting the ballot to the black men of
the District of Columbia. The bill pre-
sented the simple, direct issue Of equal suf-
frage, without distinction of race or color.
Its provisions are as follows:
"Beit enacted By The Senate and House Of Rep
TcsentdtiUes o Ae United States, IN Congress
assembled:
"sEcr1oN L.-That from all laws and
parts of laws prescribing the qualihca-
tons Of electors for any Office in the District
of Columbia, the word white is hereby
stricken ont; and from and after the passage
of this act no person shall be disqualified
from voting at any election held in this Dis
trict on account of race or color.
"6KcTI0N u.-And be It further enacted
that all acts of Congress and all the laws OF
the State of MARYLAND in force in said Dis
trict, and all the ordinances of Washington
and Georgetown inconsistent with the pro-
visions Of this act are hereby repealed and
annulled."
This measure is radical. It goes to the
root of the whole matter, and abolishes all
distinctions of race and color at the ballot
box. 1t was too radical, indeed, for some Of
our Conservative Republican brethren, who,
either from inherent, old-time prejudices,
or from fear of losing their seats at the
next election, were afraid of undiluted
equality: and Mr.. Hale of New York
moved TO amend the act SO as to grant the
ballot only to certain classes of blacks
those who could read and write, those who
had served in the army, &c, &c. But this
proposition was opposed, and justly, with
the argument that such a lawas this would
by no means meet the requirements of the
occasion. What was needed of Congress,
not merely as ar act of justice to the black
men of Washington, but as an example
and a pledge to the nation, was a recogni-
ton of the political equality of all Amer
lean citizens, and the proposed amendment,
which prescribed qualifications necessary
for a black elector not insisted on for a
white e~lsctor, practically denied that
equality. Mr.. Hale's amendment was
voted<down, ayes SO, noes ll2-nore than
a ~tsOo-thirds cote. Mr.. Kelly's bill, una
mendsd, was carried by the equally deci-
sive vOte'o of lie ayes to 81 noes. By this
action e majority of more than two to one
in the lower House of the national legisla-
ture has declared in favor of equal rights
in its broadest and most practical form.
We have not the list of yeas and nays
on this question and cannot at present
give the names of the recusant Republicans
who voted against the bill. That there
were a few is evident from the fact that
ffty-four votes were polled against ii, while
the total Democratic strength is only forty.
We shall examine the list with much in
terest, and if any Ohio Republicans are
among the opponents of the measure we
promise them in advance that their votes
shall be thoroughly ventilated.

PERSONAL

Mrs. Susannah c. Clay, wife of Hon,
c. G. Clay. Sr., died at Huntsville, Ala
ON the I'd inst.
A man noted in the circus business as
the forty-horse driver lately died in Phila-
delphia. His name was Charles johnson,
and his age thirty-three years.
The Star of this evening says that the
fashionable circles of Washington are just
now very much interested and excited
over the soon-to-take-place wedding Of
Mrs. Stephen A. Douglas to Major Robert
Williams, u. S. A, and Assistant Adju-
tant General on the regular staff. Mrs
Douglas is not more signally one of the
handsomest and most brilliant women in
America than Major Williams is one OF
the finest looking and most fascinating
men in this country; so the match is on
all sides looked upon as %singularly felicit-
Gus and fit to be made.
A letter from Berlin says: "Although
Richard Wagner has been obliged to leave
Munich, the young King is by no means
without q favorite- Joseph Volk, the
groom who attends the King on his rides,
is at present the happy man, and has
already made his power felt. A little
while ago he was impertinent TO the mas
ter of the horse, who accordingly put him
under arrest. AS soon as the King heard
of it he ordered his favorite's release and
dismissed his master ofthe horse. Whether
this little incident promises a very wise
reign in Bavaria may perhaps admit 6
doubt

4 PLUCKY OHIO SOLDIER.
Desperate Hand to Hand Fight-A
Struggle fer Life or Death.


A Columbus IS. c. correspondent of
the New York Tribune writes:
A most desperate conflict recently oc-
CURED at Chappels Depot, between pri-
vate Mowrey, Company G, 18th Ohio, and
a desperate known by the several names
of Lawson, Lamar and North. He had
been arrested several times, but by adroit-
ness and boldness had always made his
escape, only to renew his career of rascal
ity. Finally, privates Province and Now
rey, of Company G, were sent to ferret
him out and bring him in dead or alive.
After several narrow escapes he was
finally trapped in company with a Con-
federate named Partalow. They were
taken TO the nearest military station, and
Partalow turned over to the Provost Mar
shall. Province was to ride Partalow's
horse to Newberry, while Mowrey pro-
ceeded with the prisoner Lawson on the
cars to the same place. While a short
stop was being made at Chappel's Depot,
a person came into the cars, opening the
door between the guard and his prisoner,
who, taking this opportunity of escape,
darted out of the cars and into the woods.
OF course, none Of the citizens standing
around would assist in his recapture.
Mowrey, without a moments hesitation,
started in pursuit, with his rife in his
hand and revolver in his belt, bat
leaving his bayonet in the car.
He was a swift runner, and soon came
within sight of Lawson. The latter, see
ing that he would be shot if he continued
running, stopped and threw up his hands
in token of surrender but OF their way
to the cars Lawson sprang upon Mowrey,
seizing his rife by the muzzle end draw
ing his revolver. Instantly Mowrey
grasped the barrel of the revolver, retain
ing his hold on the stock of the musket.
It was a fearful moment for both; neither
dared quit his grasp from either weapon.
Then began the terrible struggle for
life or death. The ground is spoken of
by those who saw it afterward as
resembling the arena of a bull fight.
Lawson finally ceased struggling,
and while retaining a firm hold on the
weapons, offered Mowrey $500 in green
backs to release him. Mowrey replied,
