8. strilxe Our the vord Wbi,e., >,

With much squeezing and teasing and
wheeling the uneasy patriots at Columbus,
who are acting as Legislature, with free
passes on many railroads, have decided to
amend the Constitution of the State of
Ohio. When the proposal was first made
some weeks ago, it was rejected decidedly,
but then they said to themselves, we are
but the tail end of the party, and we must
follow the head humbugs at Washington.
So they passed the resolution, but they left
a loop-hole of retreat; they took care to
keep it back until it was too late to have
it published in at least one newspaper in
each county of the State" The thing
was done on Saturday, the 9th of April
The resolution must be published in every
county on Monday the Sth, for the election
in October falls on the Sth. "What shall
we do?" The telegraph must work all
night, and printers must work on Sunday
to get out handbills, and we will pretend
that these are newspapers "and sofill the
Constitution. A little hard swearing will
cure it all up; and the great maxim of our
greatest chief who said that things other
wise unconstitutional become lawful if l
think them necessary, will settle all cavil
Very well, Mr.. Follow Party, did you strike
out the word white? Not at all; you
struck it out Of the voting clause, but you
left it in the militia clause. So you would
have it that all men may vote without re-
gard to color, except pardoned white men,
but negroes shall not serve in the militia j!

Speech. of Hon. Robert Justice.
We print this morning the excellent,
pointed and telling speech of Hon. ROBERT
JUsT1cE, the faithful, industrious and eff
cient Senator from Holmes county, deliv-
cred in the Ohio Senate, on Wednesday
evening, March 81, 1867. upon the Negro
Suffrage Amendment. 1t was the closing
speech of the discussion, and was attentive
ly listened to by full Senate and crowded
lobbies. The audience was made up OF the
elEeofIthe city; and it was no small CONF
pliment to Mr.. JUSTICE that he was hearu
with the unsual interest thatwss manifest
ed on the occasion, when it is considered
that it was qnitelate in the evening when
he spoke, and that the Radical Senators
were anxious to hurry to vote. He spoke
and made his points effect
lively and his speech will be read with in
iterest and profit throughout the State. His
constituents may well be proud of him;
their ieterests are safe in his hands.

Prayer by Rev. Mr.. Coulter.
The Journal was read and approved.
Petitions and remonstrances were pre-
sented as follows, and appropriately re-
ferred:
By Mr.. BLOOM, of fRichland-For law
for the submission of a constitutional
amendment declaring ineligible to office
persons addicted to the use of alcoholic
stimulants.
By Mr.. HILL, of Defiance-For the pas
sage of the bill providing for an additional
judge in the third judicial district.
" Mr.. BLOOM reported back, from select
committee, S. B. No. 33S, 'To punish frauds
upon insurance companies" with amend
ments, recommending the adoption of the
amendments and the passage OF the bill.
The amendments were agreed to, and the
bill ordered to third reading April II.
Mr.. BOYNTON made report from the

The New Senators from Sitka.

The Tribune, 'yexed at z. L. Barnum's
handsome contribution to the defeat Of the
Republican party in Connecticut, is trying
to revenge itself by persuading the. unsuc-
cessfuI candidate to waste his substance in a
costly effort to contest the seat of his trium-
phant competitor. The inventor of Joyce
HeCh and the Woody Horse is much too
cleverra man to be caught in any such trap.
He has much better plan of his own. In
stead of lavishing his time and his money
on futile attempt to remedy the irrepar-
able, Mr.. Barnum, it is understood, has
taken passage for himself and the Learned
Seal" by way of San Francisco and Van
couver's Island, to our new possessions in
Russian America. With the help of the
Learned Seal," who has a large fam lily
connection in those pleasant hyperborean
regions, he will at once proceed to ingrati-
ate himself with the natives; and it is pay
ing. only a just compliment to his enterprise
and ingenuity to prophesy that, upon the
reassembliDg of Congress next fall, Mr.
Barnum and the Seal will appear at Wash
ington and take the oath and their seats as
the first Senators from the new State of
Sitka. The proposition just made by Sem
ator Conness, of California, for a commits
sion to abolish the use of the English Lam
guage, and to substitute the FOnetic Nuz
for the Congressional Globe, opens the way
for a brilliant career in the National Leg
islature, if not for Mr.. Barnum, at least for
his future colleague, the Seal.-Ne,o York

Dis%uSted.

The Cincinnati Gazette is disgusted with
the proceedings of Congress as faithfully
reportediinA the Congressional Globe. Their
tediousness, prolixity and stupidity are to
it distasteful. The Gazette has looked
through the columns of that publication
during the session of Congress, and it is
compelled to say: . a@-
Searching its dreary columns for for
chile, clear and exact statement of any ques-
tion at issue in which the people are inter
ested, is like wandering over Sahara in
quest of cool fountains. .s,reaf..s-, raae7
That's the record, pretty much of the Re-
publican party, as made by its Representa-
tives. And yet we are told that it is the
height of patriotism to vote into Congress
the Republicans whose proceedings furnish
such "dreary columns" and who are not
capable of making '.a forcible, clear and
exact statement of any question at issue in
which the people are interested.'

The Kind of Men the South Re
QuireS. - e.

i We alluded, in yesterdays Journal, to
the formation of a company in New York,
which designs to enter on an extensive
l.scale upon the culture of coffee in the State
of Florida. And acday or two ago we re-
ferred to the establishment Of company
| in South Carolina, opposite Augusta, Ca
which is engaged the manufacture of all
kinds and qualities of pottery ware. These
are the kind of men the South requires in
her present impoverished condition, and
such as have been invited, and welcomed
| in settling among Us, by all right-thinking
men, who have our material interests most
I'neally at heart. We are among those who
lentertain no prejudices whatever against
such, but are prepared at all times to cor
daily receive them as among the most
valuable and efficient co-workers in the
| important work of Southern resuscitation,
advancement and progress. They may feel
assured that the same views we entertain
are held by the vast mass of the Southern
people, assurances of which have been
given by the press in the various sections
throughout the South.
| We are not among that small and really
uninf1uential class, small and uninfuential,
| indeed, which would erect a Chinese wall
Of Partition, and thus shut us up and sepa-
rate US from all intercommunication
with the exterior, world. Such a course is
the most palpable evidence of inveterate
and blind prejudice, unwise, unprogressive,

enlarged and liberal policy which has char
acterized the action of the several admin
istrations of the Government. This is the
policy which has encouraged immigration
and peopled the once vast wilderness OF the
West, that has marched forward with such
astounding and tremendous strides to
wealth and importance; and is a main
cause of the present relative position and
''national'' Importance occupied by the
country. The same policy, of encourage
ment of immigration of the right sort Of
people, who come among us for permanent
habitation, and intend to identify them
selves with us, act and cooperate with us
in building up our interests, and harmonic
ing with our people, is evidently that
which should actnate us; because like
causes produce like effects, and what has re-
suited to the whole country, by wise and
liberal and un-Chinese course, will in due
measure result to part of it.-NOJoM

CaDt. Hanson Voted forIt.

Legislature, which we publish elsewhere,
that our Representative, Mr.. Hanson, voted
to submit the negro suffrage question to
the people. Three weeks ago the same
gentleman voted against the measure. What
new revelation our member received to
alter his opinion, we cannot say. gHegwill,
however, should he be candidate for re-
election next fall, find that he has wofully
vote. The people of this county are not
quite so niggerized as to desire equality

was done wilfully and in spite of warning
from men who stood upon the corner and
told them not to do so. The people had be-

trust, and for that purpose they must have
a Democrat. These are very changeful
