SHUTTLE OR LOCK STITCH.

THE Grover Baker Elastic-Sutch Sewing Machines
are superior TO all others for the following reasons:

rewinding of thread 4 "
= Ihey are more easily understood and used and
less llaoie 70 arrangement than other machines

change OF adjustments much greater variety of work
than other machines.
Il The stitch made by these machines is much more
nLn, elastic. and durable. especially upon articles
which require TO be washed and ironed than any
ether stitch. ~ '
). TINS stitch owing to the manner in which the
under thread Is lnwrought, is much the most plum n
and beauiui IN USE ana retains this plumpness and
beauty even upon articles frequently washed and

SenatOrial.

The Democratic papers in
this district express indirectly,
great confidence in Mr.. ONDER-
poNK's success in the Senatorial
contest. "Niggers," says the
Democratic Enquirer, voted for
Capt. JONES; "visibly admixed'
persons, says Gallipolis Dis
patch. The evidence develops
the fact that some Of these
same persons Of distinct and
visible admixture are very re-
sponsib!e persons, descendants,
many of them, Of the "iirst
families of Virginia" some re-
moved one generation, some
two, from their i!lustrious, pure
white, aristocratic sires, colo
nized and started in business
by their acknowledged fathers;
some of them educated, and
for years electors of Ohio, and
all of them clearly more than
halt white. But some how,
the Democrats of Gallipolis,
who learn law OF the Dispatch,
concluded that the "distinct
and visible admixture laws"
passed in 1859, would be very
highly respected by a Demo
cratic Senate, and before they
learned that the Statute upon
which they relied had been re-
pealed, they gave notice oi
contest. The Dispatch began
to expound tho law, the DEM
ocratic Enquirer referred to the
Statute in high sounding terms,
and everything looked flatter'
ing for the contestant.
But a change came DER the
spirit of their dreams when the
Gallipolis Journal called their
attention to the law of 1865.
They have had their eyes open
ever since. We understand
ihlt it is admitted by some Of
the leaders in the contest that
that they would not have put
the notice of contest in the
words of the Statute if they had
known the Statute was re-
pealed. That is rich; very rich,
indeed. The "niggers"" even
knew that the Statute Of 1859,
relating to "visible admixture," "
was repealed in 1865. But
what else? These fellows who
so fear "nieger equality" still
hope that the Senate, being
Democratic, will disregard the
decisions of the Supreme Court,
the settled law of Ohio for 20
years, and oust Captain }. on
q "visible admixture pretense."
We certainly have more conf
dence in the good sense, the
legal sense, and the integrity
of the Senate Of Ohio than to
suppose for a moment that they
are going to do an unlawful,
an unwarranted thing, merely
because one of their political
brethren ask them to.
We have no fears Of the re-
suit of this contest; a few men,
bers of the Senate may vote
according to the political stat,
us of the parties, but there will
certainly be enough frank
honestemen in the Senate who
will vote upon the merits o.
the case rather than upon the
politics Of the parties.

TIE opponents of impartial
suffrage argue that the defeat
of that question at the late cleo
tions is evidence that the doc
trine is false. Aside from the
fact that no number Of votes
can vitiate principle of JUS
tice, their theory proves too
much, because wherever terror
triumphs by mere force ofnum-
bcrs, it would become right on
that ground alone. Who will
argue that the triumph of the
advocates of Sabbath desecra'
ton and free rum drinking
makes such offences against
morality, decency, order and
society, right9 We opine no

THE Democratic press of the
State still continue their cru.
sade against the negro, para
ding every little misdemeanor
committed by an individual
as a reason why the race should
not be enfranchised. Now,
:here is no person claims that
the negroes are a race of saints
but as our Democratic brethren
are under the necessity Of re-
hashing and republishing the
the same cid cases over and
over again we are naturally led
to believe that these negroes
are not as villainous and un
godly as the Democracy would
have us believe.
But it's a poor rule thai
won't work both ways, and j
the whole negro race is to be
excluded from the franchise be
cause some individual Cuily
has robbed a hen roost, We
would like to know what We
are to do with the race OF Dem
ocrats, the greater part c,
whom have been engaged IL
open rebellion, and among
whose Individual members are
such men as FORREST, of For
Pillow massacrG BLACKBURN
of yellow fever notoriety; SUR

say nothing of the thousand
who we're guilty of selling

All of them Democrats, an
all of the crimes such AZ Sr
peculiar to the Democrat
party. The negroes have no
advanced far enough in "civili
cation" to be guilty of sue
crimes. Wouldn't it be jus
as we'll for the Democracy t
take the mote out of their ow
eye before they look for tn
"chalk" in the negroes?

Senator Drake,

OF Missouri, has written a
very able letter in reply to a
pamphlet on the dangerous
condition Of the country, signed
"A Marylander," circulated un'
der the frank of REvERDY
JOHNSON, and supposed to have
been written by him. He state
the position of the rebel States
before and after the rebellion
as follows, and no amount ol
Sophistry or "magnanlmity'
can make it appear otherwise:
"When their revolt was sub
dued and the power of the Ma
ton fully re-established over
them, they were without any
lawful State Governments. The
people of each rebel State was
still the State, their corporate
character, which had been re.
ceived from the Nation, still
existed, but their governments
were alien and hostile to the
Constitution of the United
States, and therefore utterly
unlawful. And herein is the
distinction which solves the
whole question, namely, be-
tween people as a part of The
nation, organized into a State,
and the government which
they, in their corporate capac:'
ty as a State, possesses. The
Latter may be changed, modi,
fed or overthrown, but, moth
ing short of successful revolu'
ton can sever any portion oI
The people from the Union
Putting the "war power
aside, the right of Congress to
provide governments Tor the
rebel States.
"ResultS from the fact Of Cur
national existence; that when
any portion OF the people Of
The Nation are without law
full local government, Terrific
rial or State, there is no power
on earth but that of the Nation
which can authorize them ia
form one; and that the Nation
in this matter can act only
throuph its Congress"
