The Suffrage Amendment TO the
t State COnstitutiOn. -.


The Cincinnati. Gazette argues with much
force that the only real issue in the pending
amendment to the Constitution of Ohio is
the proposition to strike out the word
''white." There is, to be sure, an addition
al settion disfranchising deserters and
draft-sneaks, but in point of fact they are
already disfranchised, and the amendment
makes no change in this respect. This is
readily deMonstrable. The present
suffrage provision of the State Con-
stitution limits the right of voting
to swhite male citizens of the United
States.n But Congress, by the 21st section
of an act passed March Sd, 1865 declared
that all deserters from the military or naval
service who should not return TO tho SER
vice or report themselves to a Provost
Marshal within sixty days after the proc
lamation, which the President was direc-
ted forthwith to issue. should "be deemed
and taken to have voluntarily relinquished
and forfeited their rights of citizenship
and their rights to become citizens, and
such deserters shall be forever incapable of
holding any Office of trust or profit under
the United States,or of exercising any rights
of citizens thereof; and all persons who
ST all hereafter desert the military or ma
val service, and all persons who being du-
ly enrolled, shall depart the Jurisdiction
in which he is enrolled or go beyond the
limit of the United States, with intent to
avoid any draft into the military or naval
service duly ordered. shall be liable to the
penalties Of this section" Under the Law
of Congress, therefore, every deserter anG
draft-sneak in Ohio has already lost hi
citizenship and with it his right to vote
The only change made by the proposed
amendment is that in reference to abolish
ing distinctions OF, color at the ballot box
and this will be the only issue decided b,
its adoption or rejection. ''-i :

the blacks were destined to go down be-

ed to disquisition on slavery, which had
always been grossly misunderstood, and
which he regarded as misnomer for the
Southern Institution. - tsOur system" he
remarked, '..was not at all of the character

ordination of an inferior race. 1 should

chronological disquisition. at is true our.
system needed many improvements and
ameliorations, and these would have come.
For example, the year before the war the
Georgia Legislature came within one vote
of removing from thenegroes the disabili-
tyinregard to reading. 1t was only OUT

sarysameliorations, forwhen there is for-g

the Government remained exactly as it was

was to define the form Of our social hie-

however, would have given us a bad name;
there was a great deal of talk at Mont

HoRRIBLE-The tale of the Oriasa
famine, as told in an elaborate official
report of tho Government Of India, is
heart-rending. The horrors it reveals
are of an almost incredible character
When it is stated that the mortality
represented a sacrifice Of about 100000
souls, some idea may be formed Of the
magnitude of this awful calamity. Poo
pie die helplcssly in swarms; money was
spurned as worthless employment or
Government roads was offered in vain,
since the living skeletons for whose re-
lief it was provided were too weak to
walk, and far more so to work. Such
was the distress of the starving masses
that it was impossible to keep any order
in the famishing crowd which struggled
for their daily dole Of rice, "and for
miles around was heard their yell for
food" So impossible was 1t TO satisfy
all that extreme emaciatiOn became the
practical test, and those who retained
the least reserve Of flesh on their bones
were compelled to bear the pangs Of
hunger a little longer. Yet the English
seemed to pay but the least attention to
this, and were much more concerned
about our affairs.

A HINT TO MEF.-We have, proba-
bly, all of Us, met with instances in which
word heodle8sly spoken against the
reputation Of female has been mRgnid-
ed by malicious tongues until the cloud
has been dark enough to overshadoW
her whole existence. To those who are
accustomed, not necessarily from bad
motives, but from thoughtle5sness, to
speak lightly of ladies, we recommend
the following hints, condensed from tho
Alliance Monitor, as worthy Of careful
consideration
Mover use a lady's name in an impro-
per place, at IA improper time, or in
mixed company. Never make assertions
about her that you think untrue, or allu-
sions that you feel she herself would
blush to hear. When you meet with
men who don't scruPle to make use of a
lady's name in a reckless and unprinci-
pied manner, shuu them, for they are
the very worst members Of the commu-
uity-men lost to every sense Of honor,
every feeling Of humanity.
MANY n gOOu anu worthy woman s
character has been forever ruined by &

character will Ay on the wings of the |
wind, and magnify as it circulates, until |
its monstrous weight crushes the poor
unconscious victim.
Respect the name of woman, for your
mother and sisters are women; and as
you would have their fair fame remain
their lives remain unembit-
tered by the slandoror's tongue, heed the

PAYING LIKE A SINEER.-Sovoral
years ago, in North Carolina, where it
is not customary for the tavern keepers
to charge the ministers anything for
lodging and refreshments, a preacher
presumingly stopped at tavern one
evening, made himself comfortable du-
ring the night, and in the morning en-
tered the stage without offering to pay
for his accommodations. The landlord
soon came running up to the stage and
said:
"There is some one who has not set
tied his bill"
The passengers all said they had, but
the preacher, who said that he undor-
stood that ministers were never charged
anything.
''What? you a minister of the gospel
"a man of God ?" cried the inu keeper;
you came to my house last night, you
sat down to the table without asking the
blessing; I lit you up to your room.
and you went to bed without praying to
your Maker, Cfor stood there until you
retired you rose and washed without
praying, ate your breakfast without say

KINDNESS or JOHN MoRR1ssBY's
WIFE.-On Saturday morning Mrs. John
Morrissey was on her way from Troy 10
New York. Below Chatham, at one Of
way stations, poor boy, crippled and
deformed, very pale and evidently much
exhausted, entered the car, Mrs. NJ. OBJ
served his condition, and calling him to
her, directed him to occupy the seat in
front Of the one in which she sat. She
then took off her rich shawl, folded ie
into asort Of pillow, and picking the poor
boy up in her arms, gently laid him
down. Shortly afterwards a yendeP Of
oranges passed through the car, and
Mrs. N. purchased some for the lad,
which he ate with look of most intense
gratitude. When the conductor came
along Mrs. N. paid the fare for the Grip
pie. In few moments the poor, weary
lad fell asleed, and was refreshed by q
long and peaceful slumber. The little
lad appeared greatly moved by the kind
ness Of the generous lady.

A SINGULAR INCIDENT. about seven
weeks ago a young man named Thomas
Mcclure, of Kalida, while drinking some
water, swallowed small bug, familiarly
known as the pinohing-bug Although
at the time of swallowing the bug he
felt some peculiar sensation in the stom-
ach, he did not feel alarmed at the fact.
In few days, however, he became quite
unweIl and suffered intense pain in the
stomach. This state Of things existed
for several weeks and during the entire
time the pains became more severe until
they became almost unbearable. Final
Iy, at the end of sixth week, the young
man vomited up the bag, and upon eE-
animation it was found TO be alive, and
larger than the usual size Of bugs Of its
species. The insect was taken posses
sion of by a member Of the medical fra
tornity, who purposes examining into
the facts relative to its longevity of life
and growth in the stomach Of the young
man. The young man has rapidly re-
covered his health and is now almost
over the effects produced by his bug

HEAVY FRAUDs.-A most extraordi-
nary fraud or series Of frauds have been
discovered among the factory operatives
employed BY the Wheeler & Wilson
Sewing Machine Company in New York
and Baidgoport. The propriotors some
time since put the case in the hands Of
a private detective force and by means
of "shadowing" the operatives, Gin all

among the workmen the whole viIlainy
was exposed. One fellow had contract
cd to carry out and furnish, within two
weeks, materials for no less than thirty
five sewing machines Some had ar
ranged with dishonest agents of the Com
pany to forward them with parts for sale
and repair. The approximate estimate Of
the losses thus incurred may be round

sand dollars per year for five years, form

$4,000 It's needless TO add that checks
have been placed against such operations

PRESIDENT ADABs ON TOBACCO

In my early youth was addicted to the
use Of tobacco, in two of its mysteries,
smoking and chewing. I was warned
by a medical friend of the pernioious op-
Grafton of this habit upon the stomach
and the nerves and the advice of the
physician was fortified by the results Of
my own experience. More than thirty
years have passed away since I deliber-
ately- TenoUuced the use Of tobacco in all
its forms and although the resolution
was not carried into execution without
q struggle of 7itiated nature, 1 never
yielded to its impulses, and in the space
of three or four months Of solf-denial,
they lost their stimulating power, and I
have never since felt it as a privation.

yidual Of the human race afflicted with
this artificial passion could prevail upon
himself to try but for three months the
experiment which I have made-8we that
