MgssRs, EDIToRs "A writer in com
munication signed M =" published in THE
STATESMAN Of Saturday, grossly misrepre-
sents the position of the Democracy of
Franklin county upon the question Of Me-
gro Suffrage. After stating that the Frank
lin County Democratic Convention prOpOs-
ed that the Democratic State Convention
should "propose to the people of Ohio
whether the term white, In the State Con-
stitution, should he retained" he proceeds
to argue against Negro Suffrage as though
the Democracy of franklin county were in
favor of it. It Is hardly necessary to say
that the resolution, In clear ami emphatic
terms. pledges the Democracy of this eoun-
tv to oppose Negro Suffrage. Beyond
this, the resolution is an attack upon
the Radicals, whose Representatives
in Congress have been swift TO
force negro suffrage upon "communi-i
ties and States whose citizens have no voice
in their election" and vet have invariably,
in the most cowardly and skulking manner,
evaded that Issue In Ohio; and 1t chal-
lenges the Radicals ,(they having a spfll-
cient majority for that purpose IN the Leg
islature) TO submit to the. people OF Ohio,
in the mode pointed out by the Constltu-
tiOn, the question of strlting the word
white tberefrom. Some have supposed
that the resolution, IL adopted by the State
Convention, would embarrass Democratic
members Gof the Legislature, who being
opposed to any change of the Constitution
In this respect, could not conscientiously
vote to submit the question to the people.
Properly considered, the resolution does
not call upon any Democrat, in the Legis-
lature or out of it, to vote for the PROPOSE
tion. II the State Convention, however,
should deem It wise to adopt any resolution
upon the subject, It would be very easy,
by slight verbal amendment, to.avold any
different Interpretation. 1Lt 'A,H7

rI,,c.ganse,ow 1touae burned

Between eight and nine o'clock last
night there was an alarm of fire, and be-
fore we had time to run down out of the
office, the Gay street engine was thunder
ing down High street to the scene of con-
fagration. 1t proved to be a double frame
house on the Corner of Rich and Scioto
streets, owned at present (as we are In
formed) by Dunnick and Bressingham, and
had been tenanted by dlsreputable persons
until last Friday, and since that time no
person has occupied the premises, and the
conclusion is, it was set on fire.
Thisbuilding has been an eye-sore.to the
community In which 1t was situated. A
man by the name of Henryra white man,
who claims to have been. soldier, came
home from the .ca;s and exhibited q great
penchant for an Ethiopean female as dark
as Ere6as, and finally found man mean
enough to tie the nuptial knot, and the
twain were made one Gesl, This man cc-
cupied one end of the house, and ostensbly
kept a boarding house. He was arrested
some time ago for keeping a house Of Ill
fame, and himself with eight or nine of the
inmates were semitic the county Jail and fed
on bread and water for thirty days.
The other end ofthe house was kept by q
spruce female darkey from South Carolina,
who gave her name as Rosa. She, too, was
arrested short time since for the same
odense-but plead that she only kept q
boarding house to commodate de gemmen oh
color. This is short history Of the prem
ises. - - ~-I-a ~.a ~ = ~ W
On last Friday they all moved out and
either they-through revenge-or some Of
the neighbors, in order to get rid Of the
nuisance, set 1t on fire.
The Fire Department was promptly on
hand, and every exertion was made tC
save the burning building-but all
In vain. The devourlng element had made
progress sufficient to makea wreck Of the
former abode of sin and iniquity-and
perhaps 1t is well that the deed was done
at least, such is the verdict of those who
live in the vicinity. We were unable to
learn the loss-or whether there was any
insurance on the building.

Were Received with Great Kind

The Congressional tourists who went
through the South by railroad to New Or
leans, have got back to Washington City,
safe and sound. They were feasted and
toasted all along the line of their travel.
Nobody cursed them, or spoke contemptu-
ously of them; nobody made mouths at
them; but everybody treated them with
the most respectful consideration, and the
tourists were rather favorably impressed
with the people they had been in the habit
of representing as being cannibal to very
great extent So far, so good. But we find
that some Of the rural Radical journals
raise cry Of warning to the tourists not
10 be deceived by any such kind treatment,
and that the South is not to be trusted
These fellows believe, no doubt that the
Southern Whites who fought to get out of
the Union, breakfast, dine and sup on Ne
gro. excepting when some committee of
Radicals visits them for the purpose of see
ing how they behave themselves. @
Seriously; if the Southern people are
such a Goddess and Christless people, why
did our Government fight them four years
to keep them in the Union? "

A few days ago Mr.. Aaron, a clothing
merchant on High street, had a coat stolen
from the front Of his store, and the police
were unable TO obtain a clue Of the thief
On last Saturday the father of Patsey
Quinn, a notorious young thief, returned
the coat to the owner. Patseyisa a bad boy,

fering, and has been put upon the chain

An Attempt to snow.

We have had for about ten days what
might be called fine winter weather. The
air, although decidedly chilly, has beenpure,
bracing and healthy lust such as to keep
person. stirring his stumps to keep his
extremiUies warm; but on last Saturday
night there was perceptible change, and
yesterday in the afternoon it commenced
to snow quite freely, but had not the, gift
of continuance. We should be pleased to
see once more an old fashioned sn6w--such
as used to fall in our b9yhood days-plumb
two feet deep. The merry music Of the
sleigh-bells would bring bac kthe memory

The Radicals had caucus at Washing
ton City Saturday night. The chief sub
ject under consideration was the question
Of 1mpeaching the President. We aretold
that the caucus, in the main, was har-
monious, and that large number were OF
the impression the President ought to he
Impeached. Well, II the Radicals think so,
let them proceed in the business without
further delay. BY so doing they will
put themselves in she way OF aseertaining
how much they can make Of it. IN.

what Are They Going to I'm
peach the President For? 1n

Intelligent men-men who watch
events with psrticularity--waut to know
on what grounds the Radicals pro-
pose to Impeach the President. Under
the sanction Of the Constitution, they
can find no authority for any such pro-
ceedings against the President for any
thing he has done. The men who talk
about the propriety Of Impeachlng the
President know as well as anybody pos
sibly can know, that there is no ground on
which the Impeachment Of the President
can be sustained. Their movement simply
looks to the suspension of the President
from his Presidential functions during the
remainder Of his term Of Office. That's all

The Toledo Blade (Radical) says that ''the
loyal States have nothing TO expect and
everything to fear from the Supreme
Court" Five out Of the nine members
who compose that Court were appointed
by President LINCOLN. Neither Repub-

Court Of the United States, are willing TO be-
come the plant tools In the hands ofrevolu-
tiouary Radlcallsm. Into afnost pitiable

Atheneum.

The Atheneum was crowded on last Sat-
urday night to witness the Champion Min
strels in their first performance in this
city. The audience went there for the pur-
pose of hearing good music and enjoy the
amusing jokes and sprightly sayings Of the
troupe, and they've not disappointed. -
The beautiful songs in the first part were
bosterously applauded. Little Maud, as
sung by John Crosher, was alone worth the
price of admission. Our old friend Joe
Mairs has lost none of his agility, as his
admirable fancy dance fully demonstrates.

"Bllck Swan" brought down the house.

ner, and will bear repetition. To sum up
the whole matter, the verdict of the audi
ence is, that Skiff & Glylord's Minstrels
cannot be surpassed by any troupe now
travelling. They give another entertain
ment tonight, with all entire change of
programme, with new jokes and funny say
ings. The Atheneum Is warm and COM
Portable, and we know of no place where
one can spend an evening more agreeable.

UJnEorrunnte!

There Is not much reservation among
Republicans in declaring that they were
unfortunate in the selection of their candi-
date for the Vice Presidency in 1864. Such
for over year has been the nature of their
declarations with regard to him. Equally
unfortunate they seem to have been in
President LIScoLN's appointees to the Su-
preme Court of the United States. That
Court is composed of the following mem
bers, whose time Of appointment is prefxed
to their names: A' .'
ls35-James NJ. Wayne, Georgia.
lS45-Samuel Nelson, New York.
lS46-Robert c. Grier, Pennsylvania.
lS5S-Nathan Clifford. Maine.
1S62-Noah II. Suoyne, Ohio.
1S62-Dduid Ddvis, Illinois.
1S62-iSdnueI II. Miller, Iowa.
1863 Stephen j. Field, California.
1865. p. Chase, Ohio, Chief Justice.
The names Of President LINcoLN's APP
pointees-five in number-and majority
of the Court are in Itdlic. Yet the Court,
thus constituted, has given the country to
understand, through their decision pro-
nouncing the Military Commission that
disgraced the Government during the War,
as unconstitutional, that they will pay re-
spect unto the Constitution. This decision
bas stricken alarm into the hearts of the
bold bad men who are working to tear
down our Republican form of Government
and build upon its ruins consolidated
Government, and they are doing their ut
most to bring it into reproach with the
people. viii not the Republican masses
some of these days begin to inquire of each
other: "Why is it that a President who
holds his place by virtue Of our votes, and
a Supreme Court of the United States, the
majority of the members of which were APP
pointed by President LINCOLN, can do
nothing to the satisfaction of our leaders in
Congress? Is it not probable that the
President and the Court, after all, are right
in what they are now doing?"
