cents a man possessed during the war
the basis of the right of Suffrage
Most certainly the poor white maj is
entitled to the same rights that the ne
gro has. But this clause Of the pro-
posed amendment puts HIM far below
the scale Of the negro and he who votes
for IT must enslave the white man
confer suffrage on the black. The
Ohio Statesman in discussing this
clause gives its effect as follows:
"The proposed amendment TO the Constitu-
tion, striking therefrom the word "white,"
DISTINGUISHES from sixteen to twenty thousand
soldiers, seven-eights OF whom did faithful
service up to what they considered the close Of
the war. After Lee and johnson had surrend-
cred they took French leave for homo, and
appear on the muster-roles as deserters in con-
sequence. Mr.. Kellogg, in the Senate, when
pressing his amendment to exempt deserters
and the neors from the'draft from disfranchise-
ment, made such a statement upon the authori-
~ Of the Adjutant General Of the State and
yet he afterward voted 10 recede from his
amendment. IN the face Of this unquestion-
able fact, that. there appear on the muster
rolls so large a number Of persons as deserters
who did faithful service throughout the actual
duration ofthe war, the Republican Senators
and Representatives voted into being n pro-
posed amendment to the Constitution that dis
franchises themj while Il makes voters out Of
%negrcesl Obi won't the soldiers work for the
adoption Of this amendment, and for the party
that seeks to max it part ofths organic law Of

The constitutional Amendment

The constitutional Amendment.
We publish this week the proposed
amendment to the constitution of this
State. In our last issue we advised its
thorough and complete investigation
by every one and gave our opinion as
to ssme Of tho iniquitous results its
adoption by the people would entail
upon the country. In addition we will
Ohumerate more Of its unjust work
ingS in case il should meet the appro.
baton ofthe people OF the State. Not
content with giving tho insstimable
right Of suffrage to IN ignorant and
almost worthless race, tho wise and
patriotic Legislators thought it abso-
lutsly essential to the preservation and
prosperity Of our system Of Govern
ment to disfranchise a portion Of tine
white population, Their object in
inserting the clause which takes liner
ty aud manhood from those who have
deserted from the Army Of the United
States and also from those who fed the
country for fear ofbeing drafted into
the army during the late war is I'm.
doubtsdiy similar to the one that act.
uatsd the Congress Of the United
States in lacking on to the bill which
increased the salary of Congressman
from three thousand to five thousand
dollars, the n hundred dollar bounty
clause for the benefit of the soldiers
Congress wanted money with which
to pay the expense of the then coming
campaign and thought that by giving
the soldier a mite that the public en-
thusiasm consequent would carry their
offerings through UNDECIDED. The
Radical Ohio Legislature, knowing the
that exists TO the doctrines
OF negro political and social equality,
thought the enthusiastic supporters of
the late war would readily cast aside
their prejudices of race in order to
mets out a severe punishment to those
persons who fed their homes 20 avoid
the draft. They thought that these
would shoulder the Niger and
carry him through. But who. were
men that thus left their homes.
Were they not poor men who could
not raise the means necessary to hire
= substitute? Do you not believe If
they had been wealthy they wonld
stood their ground and paid a
thousand or fifteen hundred dollars
for some one to go in their place to the
battles front? Undoubtedly they
would. Their love of country was
then as strong as that of many of the
individuals who remained in their
peaceful homes with a large stock of
green-baeks as their security. The
rich man, no matter now traitorous
his heart might be, no matter how full
his mind might have been of hostility
to his country, he could remain at
home, vote for unconstitutional meas.

departures from the constitution, cheer

PAPIs STRATEGY.--A young couple, says
an Ohio paper, planned an elopement, the
girl descending from her room upon the tra>
dtional ladder; but at the gaze they were
met by the father Of the girl aud the minis
ter, by whom the young couple were escorted
to the parlor, where, to their surprise, they
found all their reletives collected for the
marriage ceremonies, which took place at
once. 1t was a neat paternsl freak Not
near as neat, however, as that of fond pa
rent we knew Of He heard his daughter
and her fellow plan an elopement. The
next day the old man waited upon the Young
one aud addressed him thus: You're a fine.
brave youth, and don't object 10 yon as
son-in law. Here's a hundred to aid in the
elopement. May you live happily in the
same house, and may no accident ever occur
to throw the least shadow on the sunshine Of
your life. All that request is, that YOU
elope with my daughter--she's a mighty nice
girl, you know, but somehow her mother and
could never travel smoothly with her We
don't know her good polnts--elope with her
to suctI distance that Obo -on't return 70
her loving father and mother any more.
Good bye, sonny, and may you be happy
There was an elopement thai evening of one.
The young man went unaccompanied. H.,
thought all could not be right when the old
cock was so anxious to get rid of the Girl
The father looks upon this act as a very neat
bit OF strategy, for one who had never been
on MeClellan's staff

BurrxR MAKING following letter
was received from a lady at Venice, New

mark, there has been more poor butter in
the market this Summer than ever One
baker sfirms that he has bought atom OF but

ticle was bringing 80 cents. There is not
one farmer in ten that has suitable place
to set milk 1t is left (like geese) to shift
for ITSELF Most pantries are too warm TO
set milk in for making good butter, while
most cellars are too damp; for cream will
moi rise in a damp atmosphere. Added to
these is gross carelessness about sklmming
the milk Milk should be closely watched
and skinned before it gets very sour. A
good milk house is as necessary as any other
building. 1t should be built over cellar
four or five feet deep, the sides well lined
up With brick or stone and white-washed, the
bottom tagged with nice fat stone, laid in
hydraulic cement. The windows should be
made of fine Stats, with wooden inside shut
ters. Then the temperature is easily regu>
lated. No woman, however neat and cares
full, can make good butter in warm weather
without suitable place to set the milk.
And until farmers generally provide better
places to set milk, and dairy maids are more
careful about skimming milk aud working
butter, we shall continue to hear the cIy of
poor butter.

TIE EMIGRATION OF ELEPHANTs.-A writer in
the London Spectator asserts that the elephant Is
q highly imaginative animal, and proceeds to
cite numerous facts to prove the assertion. He
says: The Ceylon engineers say that when they
survey ways through the forests and plant woods
en- tracing pegs to mark the levels during the
day, these are generally removed during the
night by the elephants, who are uneasy TIL tney
understand these novel symptoms OF human
agency. It is clear then, that the elephants are
rendered uneasy, troubled in their imaginatloos, 8,
by these curious marks Of special aud unex-
planned human interest in their dwelling places,
Just as Morgiana, in the Forty Thieves, was rem
dered uneasy by seeing the chalk mark on her
masters door. Indeed, it is recognized aud
very successful way to escape vicious elephant
to throw down anything complicated 10 MS
path, which in his caution, be will examine so
carefully before he proceeds ss to give his cha
ser time to escape. Col. Hardy, in 1920, saved
himself from a vicious rogue elephant by
throwing down his dressing case, which the
creature in question waited to force open and
examine minutely instrument by instrument.
How strong the conventional imagination OF
the elephant is, is seen, even without respect to
man, in his intense respect for the organic unity
of q single herd or family, which he shows both
positively. One herd will never, even when
united by common danger, admit another
herd, or even a single individual Of another
herd, into the limits of its own group. Even
when more than one herd are captured in the
same corral they will never unite or join in the
same charges against the barrier. Any attempt
to Join them on the part of a stray elephant is
resisted pertinaciously, even by blows. Here
10 the same value attached to conventions which
induced some fashionable man to assign as a
reason for not saving another from drowning
that be had never been introduced to him
We should explain it by saying that elephants
attach a higher superstition or imaginative
value to the sIrictu mites of elephantine States
or na,ionalities, than to the immediate ult OF
life or death to any one such State or national
ity It is not want of value or the power OF
organization. The wonderful description OF the
placing of picket by the leader OF a herd of
elephants anxious to bathe near human en-
campment, and the anxious generalship with
which the leader examined his outposts and
himself surveyed the ground in advance, sutti
ciently proves this. Besides, whenever herd
of elephants is at bay it always follows one
leader, and if the leader is slain, follows the
next, and so on till the last is left in isolation.

MAcAULY's VIEW OF FREEDoM.-Iu an essay
on Milton, published in the Edin6urg ReVieU more
than fifty years ago, Macauly wrote as follows,
seeming tC have a prophetic forecast of the pres
ent condition of the negroes in America
"There is only cure for the evils which
newly acquired freedom produces-and that cure
is freedom. When prisoner leaves his cell, he
cannot bear the light Of day-he is unable to dis.
criminate colOrs or recognize faces. But the
remedy is not to remand him into his dungeon
hut to accustom him to the rays of the sun. The
blaze oftruth and liberty may at first dazzle and
bewilder nations which have become half blind
in the house of bondage. But let them gaze on
and they will soon be able to bear it, In few
years men learn to reason. The extreme violence
of opinion subsidies. Hostile theories correct each
other. The scattered elements of truth cease tc
conflict and begin to coaesce; and at length q
system ofjustice and order is educed out of cha
os. Many politicians OF our time are in the hab'
it of laying it down a self evident proposition
that mo people ought to be free until they are I'll
to use their freedom. The maxim is worthy oi
the fool in the old story, who resolved not to 20
into the water until he had learnt to SWIM"
We clip the above from loyal paper. 1t
will be observed, that in radical estimation, the
English historian was a superb loyalist on
the niPger question. Well, anything to "make
history" whether truthful and good, or the re
