Record of InfamY.

The Cleveland Plain Dealer, of the 1lth,
brings again to the surface, disclosures of
the utter infamy of ASHLEY of Ohio, who
is now the chief actor in the unhallowed
Radical plot to decapitate the chief magis-
trate of the Nation. In doing this valua-
able service to the country, the Plain Deal
er prefaces the disclosure with the remark
that in 1862, Mr.. ASHLEY was candidate
for reelection to Congress in his District.
Certain reports were put afloat indicating
want of moral honestly on the part OF
ASHLEY, and charging him with using his
official position as representative in Con-
gress corruptly. The friends of ASHLEY
denied the charges, when several original
letters from him to a friend of his in his
own District were produced. 1t seems that
ASHLEY had a political chum named FRANK
CASE for whom he desired the appointment
of Surveyor General of Colorado, and that
he expected in consideration of securing
his appointment to have an 'INTEREST

Negro Voting.

Tho Republican comes to the relief Of
the gentlemen who showed into the balloE-
box here negro votes at the close OF the
election, in long article reciting certain
decisiors of the Supreme Court as an ex-
cuse for their conduct. There is no doubt
from what occurred at the polls through hout
the State, secret instructions had been sent
to every precinct to poll the negro vote at
the close of the election, notwithstanding
the people we're called upon to cast their
ballots for or against this proposition at this
same election. The Old Constitution of
Ohio, declared that every white male IN
HABTTANT of the State should have the
privilege of the elective franchise. The
Supreme Court of Ohio decided under that
clause that a person having more white
than black blood was entitled to vote, The
Ohio Legislature to rebut this decision de-
cided that no man having visible admix
ture eff African blood should vote. And it
would seem that the Convention which
framed onr Few Constitution determined to
place this matter yond question by saying
that every white male CITIZEN Of the u.
States, being citizen OF Ohio should have
the right to vote. ...
The Supreme Court of the United States
have decided that negro is not a CITIZEN
of the United States Yet IN the face Of
this plain provision of the Constitution of
the State of Ohio and the decision of the
Supreme Court of the u. States, Brihker'
hof an Abolition Supreme Judge of Ohio
has decided that a negro having a drop
more Of white than black blood is white
man, and under that decision the Aboli-
tionists have been voting the negro, wher-
ever they had the Judges Of the election,
and they are not particular about the color.

ONictaH vote of Ohio.

The Cincinnati Commeciul radical n
publishing the official vote of Ohio at the
late election, adds thereto the following re-
marks:
We print elsewhere, this morning, the
compelete official returns of the recent vote
for Governor in Ohio; also, an analysis of
the vote in the nineteen Congressional Dis
tricts of the State. One of the most strik-
ing features Of the returns is the very heavy
aggregate vote--th, largest ever cast in
Ohio. The entire vote foots up 484, 277
which exceed any previous one by over
5000. The heretofore largest vote was
476 223, at the election for Governor in
1868, including $4,000 soldiers vote. Tha
next largest was 100000 for President in
1864, including $1,000 soldiers vote. TIE
vote for Governor two years ago was 4l7,-
900, and 70, Secretary Of State last year
100000. The vote this year is $1,000 lar
ger than any previous purely civilian vote.
The Republican poll 2t3,605 votes for
Hayes. and the Democrats lao, 500 vote for
Thurman. The Republicans, at previous
elections, have exceeded their aggregate,
but the Democrats never before attained
theirs. The Democratic vote of Ohio was
heavier in October. 1867, than at any past
election in the history of the State.
Of the sixteen Congressional District of
Ohio, carried by the Republican last fall,
seven now 60 Democratic. In all, ten Dis
tricts go Democratic, and nine Republican.
The heaviest Republican loss in any one
district is over 1000; the lightest between
six and seven hundred The two district
Of Hamilton county show less Republican
loss than any other two in the State. The
Second is the Republican banner district of
the State.
