TIE AMENDMENT.

Bro. Monahan, OF the Herald, wants
to know why we do not have more tC
say about the amendment. The fact is,
we have been waiting to hear some ar
guments on the other side. But we dc
not hear them. The only objection
made is, that negroes are ignorant.
But to apply this rule equitably, would
exclude the great body of the Democ-
racy The only remaining reply is,
On the niger"
Some talk was had about deserters.
But the amendment itself provides only
against men who deserted in time Of
~ar, These were but very few, And
then Congress has provided that only
the real deserters shall be disfranchised;
and they ought to be.

TENNEsSEE-NEGRO VOTERS

The election in Tennessee, on last
Thursday, resulted in the reelection of
Gov. Brownlow, and all the eight rad
ical members Of Congress, by from
twenty-five to fifty thousand majority.
The Legislature is Overwhelmingly
radical
This result is owing to the negro vote.
Without that, the rebels would have
carried the State, as in Kentucky. The
negroes voted solid for theradical ticket
This ought to be lesson to the weak
kneod Republicans in Ohio and other
States, who oppose negro suffrage.
Loyal men must and shall rule this
country, whether those men be black
or white.

ED STANDARD; Twas considerably in
terested with your "Random Thoughts"
Of last week, Any person in this
neighborhood can readily recognize the
preacher that you spoke Of, that preach
ed on Greasy Ridge, There arc
other preachers here equally as well in
formed as the Greasy Ridge preacher.
A baptist preacher, living near here,
and who has been a preacher for, per-
haps, twenty years, and is Democrat
of the Dungan-Monahan stripe, asked
me, what l thought of the Equalization
bill. | asked him what bill he had
reference to. "That Equalization bill, "
said he, "that. Congress has passed.
Hain't you seedit. "No, sir" said l,
81 have not seen it-did not know
before that Congress had passed an
Equalization bill'' "Well, now," said
he, Cpd a thought you'd a seed it,
you read a good deal" "Well, what
is it," said I. "Why," said he,
Congress has passed Equalization
bill, maxim the niger equal to the
white man, and there goin to mend the
constitution this fall, and we have to
vote on it, whether the nigger shall be
equal to the white man, or not" When
| showed him the proposed amendment
to the constitution of Ohio, he would
hardly believe it, and thought there
must be another amendment that l had
not seen. This is a fact, and the mar
is preacher, and thinks himself smart.
There are a few here who will not vote
the Republican ticket, this fall, on ac.
count of the proposed amendment. One
man told me he would not vote the Re
publican ticket, because Mr. Charles
Wilgus, one of the commissioners o.
this county, did not put up a notice
here, that he was going to sell the
grading of a certain hill near here, or
the turnpike. What do you think ot
such a Republican as that? The pref
udice against the negro here, is about
the same it was on Mulga twenty years
ago. The schoolmaster, or somebody
else, is needed here badly. The othel
day, l asked a man that thinks himself
pretty sharp, who a certain gentleman
was, that had just stepped out of the
door. He said his name was Terry
Said I, "is he any related to that fellow
Dyson Terry that we had such time
with in the army?" 81 don't know
said he, "that man had a son in tht
army, 1 don't know whether his name
was Dyson Terry, or not, likely it was
A Doctor tells me, that in his practice
he had frequently asked his patients, i
the medicine he left for them, made
them vomit. The answer would be
"No, but it made me puke like thunder
No wonder they oppose amend
ments. RENSIM.
