| The Ohio mongrel) Legislature has
been finally goaded into submitting the
question of negro voting to- the people.
1t was such plain talk as the following,
which forcibly drove them to it. 1t is
an extract from speech of Hon. Mr..
Putnam, Democratic member of the
Legislature:E Hi
"The Democratic party is willing that
this Republican Legislature shall submit
It to the people, and make it an issue in
the approaching election. We are will

our State Government with negroes or
not We have no fears of the result.
The intelligence of the people is suhi.
cient assurance Of your defeat Bat, sir,
it is preposterous to ask Democrats to
assist you in the submission of this quss-
ton. One of the cardinal tenets of our
faith is that this is a white mans Gov
ernment, made by white men for white
men. During the past five or six years
of agitation, looking to this result we
have fought you earnestly. although |
regret to say, unsuccessfully, and now in
the apparent elimination of your
schemes, it would lily accord with the
pluck Of the grand old party to lower its
standard and desert its faith. If it goes
down upon this proposition, it will be
with its banners flying and its drums
beating. But in the face of the events
of the past six years, can not see how
gentlemen on the other side can consist
emily refuse to submit the proposition.
If were member of the Radical party,
and indorsed the action of this Congress
in forcing negro equality upon the peo-
pie of the District of Columbis and of
the Territories, and favored the Military
bill just passed, which has only for its
object negro suffrage by compulsion in
the South, l would not come here with
my knees quaking and my teeth chatter

tend the right of suffrage to the negroes
of Ohio. | woEld have the manhood to
be consistent and would be perfectly
willing to extend the negroes of my own
State the blessings, and privileges which
l had extended to their race in other 10.

You Radicals have not the moral cour
age to indorse your own dogmas, but
come whining like whipped ours to the
Democracy, and ask them to share the
responsibility with you. Shame on such
representatives Of principlel There is
not a man among you who is favorable
to the proposition, but you are towards
aud are afraid Of the responsibility. Here
upon this floor, in the name of the De-
mocracy of Ohio, challenge you to con-
test upon this question. You have forced
negro suffrage upon the unwilling people
Of the Territories and Of the District Of
Columbia, and now dare you to make
the issue in Ohio.

Sherman takes care Of his own with
great assiduity. am informed that
some eighteen members of the Sherman
Ewing families are in Office. This is
nepotism on large scale. Charles
Sherman, the Senator'S brother, is United
States Judge of the Northern District of
Ohio His son, Henry, is deputy clerk
therein. General Thomas Ewing, jr.,
the Senators s brother.in-law, is lawy er
here. He gets good deal of profitable
business thrown in his way by the con-
nection. General Hugh Ewing, his
brother, is Minister to the Hague. His
fitness for the position is demonstrated
by his chronic condition of intemper-
ance. Charles Ewing, another brother,
has commission in the army. Hamp-
ton B. Dewnan, a brotherin-law, is
Superintendent of Indian Affairs for
Nebraska, Dakota and Montana. The
Senator himself is reported to be a
member of the firm of Jay Cooke & Co.
The importance, therefore, of being

RistOri at Utlca-A Funny Interyisw.

We learn from the Troy Whig that
the great impressario," Grau. was in
Utica, a few days ago, making the pre-.
liminary arrangements for the appear.
ance Of the great tragedienne. The
company who engaged her desired her
to play Elizabeth, but Grau insisted on
Marie Stuart being the piece. The fol-
lowing is the dialogue which occurred
Secretary TO Mr. Grau) u)-Utica people

hear Elizabeth; they are crazy to hear
Elizabeth
Gran" Can no play Elizabeth in
Utica"
Secretary-"W Why not De Vivo, your
agent said we could have what we
wished, and we wish Elizabeth" ca
Grau-" Dere's just dis leetle trouble
De Vivo no good right to say dat Ne
nevar, nevar tell him so !"
Secretary (strongly)-"I would just
like to make little inquiry. Why can t
Ristori play Elizabeth in Utica2 If you
have any good reasons, let US hear them.
We are reasonable people" etc.
Grau becoming little excited Wat
a tongue you have. Shust grant me to
talk enc leetie menoot, and I'll tell you
Wy Ristori can no play Elizabeth in
Utica. She play de same in Buffalo,
Rochester and Syracuse-tree nights in
succession
Secretary-"Well, supposing she has,
why can't she play it here p
Grau (vehemently and sentimentally)
-" You want to kill Ristori You want
to see de lovely RistoIi die p
Secretary Not much. But De Viyo
promised us any play we wished" "
Grau-"I very much sorry. But
Ristori can play Elizabeth four nights
in de week 1t would kill Ristori."
1t was finally arranged that Marie
Stuart should be the play in Utica, and
Mr.. Grsu was further convinced of the
necessity Of this when he saw the small
ness of the Mechanics hall stage and
the meager Accommodations thus af
forded. There were but two dressing
rooms, and Mr. Grau must have fire.
He must have FIVE.
Der must be one for Ristori, two for
de ladies, one for de shentlemens and
one for de supe, and here you no got
but two dressing rooms Vat will Ris-
tori do2 She must have de five rooms p
1t was arranged that the five rooms
should be some how arranged, and with
this Mr.. Grau left for New York.

Voluntary Exiles,

From the N. o. Picayune. April III rt
Over three hundred people sail from
this port to-day, on the steamer Marmion,
for Brazil. They are most of them from
this and neighboring States, and leave
the country, voluntary exiles, forever.
1t is a sad and sorrowful fact to record,
but it is nevertheless true. Furthermore,
we understand that other vessels are to
follow the Marmion, with the same des-
tination, and that it is probable they will
go out full Of emigrants. The feeling OF
discomfort, of anxiety, Of dependency,
runs higher than ever-higher even than
Immediately after the close of the war.
That, fortunately, was short lived, in
consequence of the liberal and magnsn-
imous policy Of the President; the emf
grafton was arrested, and many of the
exiles found their way joyfully to their
former homes But, unfortunately, the
outward movement now going on cannot
be similarly arrested. These people,
with whom we have conversed, are utter
ly sick at heart; and when we tell them
the SORROWS Of exile from this land OF
their birth, avow they would rather en-
