Impartial Suffrage In OhIo.

The Legislature has refused to
submit the question to the people Of
the State whetherthe word "white, as
a suffrage qualification. shall be strick-
en- from the Constitution of Ohio. All
the Union members from the Reserve
Counties, and nearly every member
from the Northern portion Of the State,
voted to submit the question. 1t is
very humiliating to rs, however, to be
forced to note the fact that the propo-
sition was defeated by the votes of Re-
p~ublicans, representatives from the
Southern section of the State, where a
degree of Egyptian murkiness still pre-.
walls, causing certain members of the
Legislature 10 quake with fear, Ike
timid children left in darkness. The
% trembling Republicans have dishon-
ored the State of Ohio, given the lie
to Republican professions, branded
themselves political poltroons, who
would rather pander to an ignorant
prejudice than boldly grapple with it,
and heroically crush it out. We hope
every man who was. so great a traitor
to Republican principles, so lacking in
political ~sagscity as to commit 8 blund-
er of such moment, in the very crisis
of a struggle TO establish the grand
principle Of manhood suffrage, will be
branded as s political Judas, who was
alse to a great and good cause in a
dark hour when help was most needed.
The cause, however, will live and tri-
umph when its poor, trembling enc
mics are dead and forgotten.

Cen. GarhsId,s Speech

On the first page of this paper is printed
the brief but most excellent, clear and
pertinent remarks of our Representative
in Congress, on the Reconstruction Bill.
The General therein reflects the opinions,
feelings, sentiments and wishes Of at least
two-thirds of his constituency. We doubt
if O speech more to the point, or SO replete
with the very essence of the question, was
made during the session. SIT goes right
to the spot"

Surratt takes his imprisonment quite
philosophically, and, being quite literally
supplied with food by his friends outside,
is improving daily. He has, since Satur-
day, worn his citizens suit, ard spends
his time in pacing the corridor in front of
the cell, when not engaged in reading.
His brother Isaac who has not seen him
since 1850, when he left for Texas, was at
the Jail with his sister, a day or two ago,
but the warden being very strict as to the
kind of persons 10 see him, he was not al
lowed IN interview. No attempts have been
made to arrest him, Notwithstanding the
charges against him, by General Sheridan
in 1866, of IN intention to assassinste

Cattle brought into Missouri from
Texas. on q close examination, have
been found to communicate to native
stock fatal disease, and the Legislature
have taken action with the view of pre-
venting their importation. So great has
the evil grown that Missourians have
armed and organized themselves to de-
stroy the Texas herds, and in some in
stances, persistent droVers of Texas
cattle have met with a summary fate
when they refused to turn back their
droves. The Texas cattle, though
healthful, seem to infect the neighbor-
hood where they are kept, and the
Missouri herds feeding on pastures in
which these Texas cattle have been
herded quickly sicken and die.

The President, on Saturday, sent
in his yetoes on the Reconstruction bill
and on the Tenure of Office bill. The
House passed the Reconstruction bill over
the veto by 1S5 to AZ. The Senate passed
it 80 to 10. The vote in the House on
the bill regulating the Presidents appoint
ing power, was I21 yeas, 81 nays. In the
Senate the vote stood S5 yeas, IL nsys-a
clear tWO-thirds majority in both instan-
ces. Congress seems to have a supreme
contempt for A. Johnson's vetoes.

The Reconstruction BIZ q
LaEi


There Is luck in leisure. especially
where there is room for improvement,
and a diligent, persistent effort to i'm
prove on the existing state of affairs
Congress has been cursed with unspar-
ed liberality, for its delay IN adopting
a plan of reconstruction. People OF
the ION to Richmond" temperament
chated and fumed because something
was not done long since, not much ca
ring what plan might be adopted.
The country, however. has reason
to rejoice that the Congress of
the United States has not only
mstured s judieious plan of recon
struction, but had the power to enact
it into a law over the veto of Andrew
johnson. We have kept Jul readers
posted on the character of the new
Reconstruction bill. by speeches and
Congressional proceedings published.
1t viii be remembered that the bill as
sumes there are no legal State Govern
ments existing in the late rebel States,
and that therefore the peace, order
and safety of those communities de-
mand responsible governments to pro-
tect life and property. These States
are divided into Eve districts, each
district to be under command of an
army officer, not less grade than a
brigadier general. with sufficient mill
tary force to enable him to perform
his duties, which shall consist in
protecting al persons in their rights of
life and property, and to this end he
may allow local civil tribunals to try
offenders, but if he shall deem such
tribunals incompetent from any cause,
then military courts may be organized
for that purpose, with which State au-
thority cannot interfere. Ali death
sentences must be approved by the
President of the United States.
The fifth section of the act establish
es impartial suffrage in those States
all males 81 years old and upwards,
of whatever race, color, or previous
condition, residents of the State one
year." except persons disfranchised as
rebels, or felons at common law, shall
have the privilege of voting at the
election for delegates to a State Con-
vention TO frame a State Constitution,
which Constitution must provide for
impartial suffrage, be adopted by the
people Of the State. approved by Con-
gress and then when the Legislature
of such State shall ratify the Constitu-
tionsl Amendment, Congress pledges
itself to admit it to full privileges in
the Union.
This we call building on q solid basis
foundation and su~perstructure erect
ed with q view to security and perma-
nency. Negro slavery, in all its dia-
bolical shapes. is to be rooted out. The
murder of white union men and wo-
men, and the merciless butchery Of the
has called for vengeance, and
heaven has sent it. The domineering,
naughty, insolent remnants of the reb-
Ell hordes will be held in proper check,
and taught to realize that rot only I
men, but the loyal black men, I
have rights which they must respect.

glorious work /; on no page of our po-
Iiticsl history will a nobler record be 7
