The poor "White trash'' who are not sat-
isfied with an attempt to constitutionalize
Negro voting in, Ohio, but want certain
class Of Whites disfranchised, are making
all manner of excuses for their proposed
sweeping disfranchisement of soldiers
who bravely fought through the War,
and who thought there was no need
In standing on ceremony about go
ing home, after, the work which North
ern Abolitionists and Southern Fire Eat
ers had given them to do was done.
These fellows are down on their marrow
boness apologizing to the soldiers for the
Infamous wrong they would do them.
They don't mean to disfranchise
good soldiers but that class who
are. Recognized as deserters, they think
should be punished. They claim always to
have been the soldiers friend. What
friends They prolonged the War by de-
manding that it should be made War for
Abolition; they, further prolonged the
War by not resting content until the Ne
gro was put into the army; ); they helped
starve our soldiers who were prisoners in
the South, because they would not con-
sent to an exchange of prisoners unless the
Negro soldiers should be treated by the
South in exchange the same as White SOL
diers. Oh, yes, holy friends are these men
to the soldiers. So is the Devil, after the
same manner, a friend of the Saints.

A DecIination Reconsidered.

General SCHENCK is rash young man
a very rash young man. He was rash at
Vienna, and at sundry other times and
places. Some time ago, he declined being
candidate for nomination to the office Of
Governor before the Republican State Con-
vention. With hand upon his heart, and
an air of humiliation resting on that sweet
ly angelic countenance of his, he did pro-
test that5hfs heart did so throb and pulsate
for the, goodsof the Republican party, and
believing that he could do that party more
good on the floor OF Congress, than as their
candidate for Governor, he respectfully de-
clined being "a candidate. AT the time, we
suggested that this was simply the divinity
dodge RICHARD the Third practiced when
he was plotting tosclutch the Crown. & 1t is
now announced that General rSCHENcK has
reconsidered his declination, and with
URIAH HEAP humbleness will accept the
Republican nomination for Governor,

into the 5rsr shell of the animal: ~ o.
1885" and j. $. j., ls4l," and some other
hirogyphics which resemblcd the numbers
"lSi5." To the naturalist the antiquarian,
the curiosity seeker, or the scientific observer,
This little crustacean measuring about seven
inches in length by four or five IN breadth is
an object of interest. Our first question ma
turaFs IS, who cut these initials and dates?
Does j. 5, J. stand for James s. Jennninrs I?
or for John 5. Jennings or for some one else
having the same initials Our second ques-
tor quickly follows, which really is a series
rather than one question: How old is this

a short, succinct and popular, account of the
tortoise, where, among other animals, we are
told that itiivcs f'om eighty 70 hundred and
twenty years grows from one to seven feet in
