2 A DIsGRAcEFuL DAY.-Yesterday was the
} blaekest day in the history of Columbus.
I Every whisky shop and brOthel turned out
( dozens of drunken and crazy men, who
8 disgraced the city with their brutal shouts
} ana yells. The inhuman work was COM
menced the day; before, when band of
2 shameless fellows, headed by drums,
marched through the streets, and disturbed
the quiet of tine Sabbath by this unheard
of proceeding. Yesterday afternoon, fights
. occurred on every street and alley. They
5 were always among the Democrats them
selves. Probably halt dozen fights soe-
j CURED on State street alone during the
. afternoon. l a s441 sf3iif-ia T-l-iiiI
A fellow reelihg through the streets
!, once saw a congregation from church
+ passing along the sidewalk. Holding on to
a lamp post, he said,s'I never (hic) saw
2 (hie) so many drunken (hic) people before"
!, He thought every man, woman and child
: before him staggered. i,,5 ~ u ri 5.ig

six months has not drawn sober breath,
has the following: fs ~. 4.ft., -ra
o During the day there was considerable

q Some of the roughs amused themselves in
u Insulting women merely because their skin S
wereT not white, and one party shamed

!. The journal charges that the crowd in
suited ladies-the Gazette man says they
!, were insulted because their skins were not
4 white--that is, they were black ladiesl ..r1
Z We sawllarge numbers of ladies' on the
streets-the wives, mothers and daughters
+. of Republicans, and, if the Journal can
Z find a single one who,l during the day,
& heard from Democrat a single obscene
word, or Witnessed an indecent act, we
+, will agree that the Journal editor has told
= the truth for once. No woman-lady or
= otherwise black or white, was oinsulted,
. and the life of man would not have been
safe that had dared to do such a thing in a
Democratic meeting. ,7s1 go ..-ae-l ia
The only disturbance during the day
was when few Negro women hurled
stones at the White Boys in Blue while
marching in the procession. That came
! near being punished on the spot. But bet
ter counsels prevailed, and it was not. But
+ lch forbearance will not always be shown.
o lio is not yet Tennessee, and Negroes, al
though backed by the votes of the so-call-
(. ed Republican party, who are to give them
the right to vote if they can, have not yet
arrived at that pitch that they can insult
white soldiers with impunity. .'..-.f ~.

I The Journal says there were but fifteen
hundred persons to hear the Democratic
speakers on Monday. 1t also says:
sit is calculated that there were not less
than a Thousand gallons of benzine carried
out of the city in Democratic skins yester-
day." .,slt ..lsH a-f-c n. q,
or course out of the fifteen hundred
must be deducted thehDemocrats of the
city who were present at the meeting. AL
lowing but one-third for this, it leaves one
D thousand persons to drink yone thousand
gallons of whisky and to carry it home
with them. AS personally we know moth
ing of the amount OF whisky q, man can
carry, will the Journal please inform us ?
4 Four quarts of benzine to a man seems to
. be a very large dose: - -,..4 no -.
4 THE Democracy are pleased with the
! term s'imported,n as applied to stump
speakers for the Repubi biican cause in Ohio
n from other States. They have imported
L Mr.. Voorhees,, of Indiana, and we give
81 elsewhere full report of his first speech
n in the State Gin. Commercial. 2" r.
y The negro sutfrageites. have, imported
4 men to teach the, people of Ohio how to
vote fromnesrly every State in the Union.
These, imported orators have all. proved
failures, and bear no Comparison, in speak
ing TALENT to those Ohio has produced. The
D latter are to the "manner horn" of skinning
such, interlopers as the Radical committee
hire to make speeches in Ohio. rr 11.
Il Mr.. VOORHEES, is one of the men of whom
q Ohio can boast. This State gave him birth,
and to her he owes the duty of man to
:. the home of his childhood and his birth.
