Hon. M. NAV.

The Legislature having adjourned on
Wednesday last, we give to-day, the closing
letter of M. NJ" winding up the doingS
of that Radical, egro-enfranchising and
white-disfranchising body. Having done
everything to eXalt the negro and debase
the white soldier, as we'll as to entail upon
us heavy increased taxes to meet their prof
ligate legislation, it was no longer necessa-
rY to prolong the already heightened out
session, and the people of Ohio would have
been vastly more benefited by their not
convening at all last winter. Our worthy
correspondents, Messrs. Bloom and May,
have Kept our readers well posted in their
doings, and the one we give to-day (the
last) will be found equally interesting.
Mr.. May, our ever watchful and industrious
Senator, has made decidedly favorable
impression in the Senate of Ohio, having
taken prominent part in the debate of all
political questions coming up-was on a
number of important tcommittees-the con =
mittee on Common Schools, the Military
committee, the committee on Benevolent
Institutions, on Revision of Bills, and op
the Soldiers Home committee, his labors
being confined more to prevent bad legisla-
ton than the introduction of bills. This
Senatorial District has reason to be proud
of their Senator, as well as Richland of her

Rackefs.

The telegraph has given the result of an
international racket match played in New
York for 8500 a side between representa-
tiVes of the English and American racket
clubs. The NeD York EUentng Gazette de-
scribes the game of rackets as follows:
The courts in which this game is played
are of various sizes, and are surrounded by
high walls of brick or stone, cemented and
plank floors, in the American courts, and
asphalt floors in the English courts, the end
wall at which the ball is played having
line called the s'serving line" painted across
it, about eleven feet from the floor, and
skirting board, fifteen inches high, next the
floor, called the "tell board" Another
line is paintedaerosst the floor two-fifths of
the length of the court, and from the mid
die of that line to the rear of the court
another line is painted on the floor, thus
dividing the rear part of the court into
fright" and cleft" the ball at the COM
mencement of the play of each innings be-
ing served above the serving line on rear
wall from the one side behind the line on
the floor and made to rebound TO the player
behind the floor line on the other side, after
which the ball is kept in play by either
party in his turn striking the ball at any
part~of~ the rear wall till it hits the 'telI
board" or till he misses it on the fly or bound
twice, when his hand is out, or his oppO-
nent scores an ace toward the fifteen points,
which generally constitutes the game. The
bat is made of ash, the blade being bent in
the form Of snow-shoe ten inches long
and seven inches wide at the widest part,
and is strung across and across with cat
gut, and fitted with an ash handle twenty
inches long, The ball is formed by piece
of India rubber the size of a large pea, and
wound around with fine worsted yarn and
covered with goat skin, its diameter being
one and three-eights inches, and under half
an ounce in weight.
Racket is popular in the large cities and
garrisons in Canada, and in all the
garrisons and camps in Great Britain and
Ireland. 1t is also encouraged and played
in the universities, colleges and public
schools in that country, regular profession
ais ing engaged to teach and practice
with the collegians; innumerable clubs also
have their courts, and half an hours play
at rackets, and then bath, does more good
to keep the system in order, and keeps the
doctors at respectable distance than any
other game in existence; it has this addi-
tional advantage, that it combines excite
ment, pleasure and science to an extreme
degree. The ladies of uppertendom little
dream that when they meet the elite OF
some of their male friends during their
premenades, that much of their splendor of
physique and robust health is due to prac-
tice in the Thirteenth street Racket Court

why Should They be Voters:

1t is stated by Republican journals that
there are from 10000 to $4,000 Blacks in
Tennessee entitled to vote: but that ''they
are, for the most part, without the ability
to read and write, and untnstructed as to
their rights and duties ander the ne,o order of
things" That which seems particularly ag-
gravating to Radicals, is that, in many dis
tricts there are whole counties where true
Republican "cannot be found bold enough
to go among the colored race and tell them
what theirprivileges and interests are, and
urge them at once to embrace them"
Why should this class of persons, with
out education and perfectly ignorant as to
their duty touching Government, be made
voters

Unprecedented Quantities of Ice
-.. in the North Atlantic. rfft..

1t has been asserted that the severe
weather recently experienced in Great
Britain and France was due to atmospheric
disturbances in the North Atlantic Ocean,
and all arrivals at Liverpool from New
York and other ports in the United States
and Canada report unprecedented quanti-
ties of ice in mid-ocean, about Al n. lat.
and 90 w. long. One vessel had to sail
for nearly 200 miles in southerly direction
alongside perfect continent of ice, while
others passed icebergs of enormous size, al |

The Greed of the Republican
Party,

| DOM PIATT, one of the expounders OF
orthodox Republicans politics, in brief
gives us to understand what the creed OF
that party is. AS thus expounded, it is
easily understood. Nothing can be palmer
1t is this:
"Had we (the Republican party) less
sagacity than we get credit for, the path
before US Is so clear that we could not GO
Famiss. We have merely to find out what
our opponents advocate, and act accord
fingly.'
II Otherwise presented, it amounts to this
& If the Democrats advocate an infexible
adherence to the Constitution, lis the duty
of the Republican party to oppose it.
If the Democrats advocate retrenchment
and reform, it is the duty of the Republi-
crn party to oppose it.
If the Democrats oppose official extrava-
gance, corruption and stealing, it is the
duty of the Republican party to favor it.
| If the Democrats insist that there should
be perfect equality in the matter of taxa
ton, it is the duty of the Republican party
to oppose it.
IFthe Democrats oppose swindling pro-
hibitory tariffs, it is the duty of the Repub.
lican party to favor them.
| If the Democrats advocate sound, reli-
able currency, it is the duty of the Repub-
lican party to oppose it.
| If the Democrats advocate the supremacy
of the Federal, State, County, City, Town
and Township Governments in their respec-
tive spheres, the Republican party must
oppose it.
If the Democrats oppose the dis
franehisement ofaWhite soldiers who did
worthily discharge their duty, while the
war lasted; but who yet are guilty OF
technical desertion in consequence of going
home without having received an official
discharge, the Republican party must op-
poseit.
If the Democrats oppose Negro Suf-
frage, the Republican party must ap-
prove it.
s. In short, on all questions the Republican
party must take the opposite side to that
which is occupied by the Democrats. The
merits of the respective positions of the
two parties must not be taken into consid-
eration-must not be examined and dis
cussed. The Republicans must take it for
granted that by no possibility can the Dem
ocrats be right. Unfortunately for the
country-unfortunatel for the taxpayers
unfortunately for the business interests--a
majority of the voters for several years past
have adopted this view for their guide
For men of intelligence - for men who
would do that which is for the best-this is
a most unworthy course. That Republican
politicians, like DOM PIATT, who move and
have their being through the Republican
party, and who without that party would
be nothing, should counsel the members of
that party to vote blindly against the Dem
ocratic party, is matter of no surprise; !;
but that thinking men who are not Office
seekers and never expect to be, and who
desire frugal and permanent Government,
republican in form. will consent to do so
year after year, seems exceedingly remark
able. This is no way to reform abuses in
Government, or to maintain Constitutional
liberty.

Speech of Hon. George HI. Pen
idIetOm.

We have the great satisfaction of laying
before our readers this morning the mas
terly speech delivered last night at Urbana
| by Hon. GEORGE 81. PENDLEToN. The
general understanding is, that whenever
this distinguished gentleman speaks, he
speaks with directness, logically, tersely
and eaptivatingly; and the public will not
be disappointed in the speech to which we
now refer them. It is a finished produc-
ton. He takes for his text the declaration
made by WENDELL PHILLIPS, in 1852 that
the country would never "again see the Far
mer rRepublic"under which his auditors had
been born. Mr.. PENDLEToN foreibly shows
what ''the Farmer Republic" was; how
great, it was; how pure it was how be-
Inefficient it was, and how cheap it was
great, grand, good and cheap-and then
contrasts it with the present consolidated
Imperialism, oppressive as it is-disregard-
full of the rights of States and the liberties
of the people and extortionate in its taxa
tion-bearing with its little finger upon
the people with more heaviness than did
''the Farmer Republic" with its whole
body. Yet great, radical, revolutionary
and disastrous as has been the change from
1.-The Farmer Republic to the present
Consolidated Imperialism, he looks into
the future longingly, but not despondigly.
Hope bids him be of good, cheer, and he
would have those who are bowed down
with .despondency again to lift up their
heads, resolutely adhere to their principles
and buckle on their armor and do upceas-
ing battle for the Right.
At Urbana the Court House was filled to
oVerflewing, with a large and magnificent
audience of gentlemen and ladies, of all
parties. ~
The speech was listened to with wrapt
attention, and excited universal admira-
tion. 1t greatly increased the high reputa-
tion Mr.. PENDLEToN had already acquired
as an aI1In statesman md orator
