II Can Afford to Lose an Arm
..o, b. for My Country"

AT Che battle Of Kenesaw, a Colonel Of
the Federal army, CALAMITY leading his
regimentin in the charge, was brought from
his horse'by bullet from the rife Of a
rebel sharpshooter. The wound was o
severe, one, and weak and -fainting, he
was compelled to leave his noble comrades
and go to the rear, to be placed under the
surgeons care. He was Informed that
the amputation of his "good, right arm"
was necessary. Nerving himself for the
amputation he said to q brother officer,
now resident of Cleveland, who was
commiserating him upon his misfortune
III can afford to lose an arm for my coun.
try" The wounded officer was Colonel
James M. Neibling, recently rejected by
the Senate Of the United States, as Col
lector Of Internal Revenue for the Fifth
Ohio District. The gallant officer who
was proud to lose an arm for the sake Of
his country, is deemed "disloyal" by the
Radical majority in the Senate of the
United States, and is contemptuOusly re.
fused an oficc, which they desire to give
to some able bodied, stay. y.at,home radical
ire-puller. The treatment Col. Noibling
and the other soldiers rejected, have re-
ceived from the Senate is a commentary
upon the boasted love for the 'boys in
blue SO loudly mouthed few months
ago.

Our Republican Form of Gov
ernment ReyOlutiOnizcd.

What Democratic papers have been de-
clariug about the change that has been
madsin our Republican form Of Govern.
ment, is now being acknowledged by Re-
publican journals. The Reconstruction
Act passed by the late Congress, and ve'
toed by the President, isso fagrant an
act Of despotism, and so gross violation
of the Constitution, that all candid Re.
publican papers are constrained to admit
the change the war has made in the char
acter of the Government. The New
York Times (Rep.) says Of the Southern
people and that bill: .i Fl
d"We do not wonder that they deem the
terms (ofreconstruction) required, harsh
and illiberal We agree in SO regarding
them. We deem them unjust and mex,
pedient-at war with the Constitution and
hostile to the dictates of a wise and con.
siderate statesmauship But how does
this help their case Suppose the term.
imposed are unconstitutional-how does
the South expect to a7ert their imposi
ton Has it not discovered that where
ever the right may be, the power of this
Government rests with Congress? Tha,
body overrulcs alike the vetoes of the
President and the decisions Of the Sd.
preme Court; andin neither case is there
any authority that can overrule its author
ity or avert its action" ..... ga.s
The New York Commercial (Rep) also
bears the following testimony:
n"All the limitations to the exercise O.
! power contained in the Constitution, thu
opposition Of the President and the de
cisions Of the Supreme Court of the Uni
[tcd States, have been set aside and over
ridden by Congress. Thus has our vauu
ted form of government been revolution

From the Ohio Salesman
We were not Mistaken - Negro
Suffrage IN Issue at the April
Elections.

On Monday we alluded to the fact that
the Republicans had issued a circular to
the faithful, urging them in the most ear
nest terms to unprecedented activity at
the April elections. We knew there was
a purpose at the bottom Of this unusual
proceeding on the part of our political
adversary, and concluded that it was de-
signed as additional pressure upon the
Republican members in the Legislature
to take steps to elevate the Blacks in Ohio
to the position Of voters. The Cleveland
Leader of Monday explains the object Of
Che circular and confirms tho view we ex.
pressed. This is what it says, among
other things
"Tho Republican party has, by its re.
cent action in Congress, declared in favor
of Equal Suffrage. This Is great, a no,
bic advance, and tho people should demon
strate that they will sustain it. The
Democrats are already beginning to make
this issue as far as they can, and should
the election result in Democratic sdcces
ses or Democratic gains it will be received
as popular rcpudiation Of Equal Suff
rage, A question of principle, therefore
and not merely Of office aud officc,hold
ing, is involved in this result; and thil
fact should draw forth not only the vote,
but the earnest and persistent labors Of {
class Of men who usually refuse to med
die in "ward politics" Every real frienl
of human rights should feel himself per
sonally appealed to to enter into this elcc
tion with as much earnestness and vigo
as if the Presidency depended on it,
Work, and only work, will insure us sue
cess. The Democrats are now organizing
ward clubs in advance of the nomina
lions, and if they are to be defeated W
can not afford to be loss active and ener
getic than they"

The Fruit.PrOspects,

Tho impression generally prevails that
the recent severe weather did not injuro
to any great any material extent tho pros
pect for fruit the coming season. The
Coshocton Democrat says: als
$50 far as VIC have been able to lcarn,
the fruit buds in this locality have not
been injured to any great extent by the
severe winter through which we have just
passed, aud the different kinds Of fruit
grown in Central Ohio. What an inyal.
tuable and inappreCiable blessing to all q
good crop would be-" ...-
Tho st. Clairsville Gazette says .-
awe have carefully noticed the reports
Of tho newspapers at our Office, in regart

in this State tho coming season, and WI

A match Tor $4,000, two miles and repeat be-
tween j. Dongrcy's bro wn mare Fearless, to
harness, and D. Mace's brown gelding Stone
wall Jackson, to saddle, was announced for
yesterday afternoon at Fashion Course; but the
three hundred sportsmen who assembled to wit
ness the trotting, seemed to understand that
StOnewall WAS not to enter the field. and it was
reported that the geldIng's owner paid forfeit
The race for $780, mile heats, best three in five
was won by B. Daniels Louise. Tue entries were:
w. Borst's black mare, in harness; W. Smiths
sorrel mare, 10 wagon, and B. Daniels chesnut
mare Louise, in harness. The sortel mare was
the tavorite at the start; but when LoAlse had
won the FIRST heat in PAL, coming out tour
lengths ahead, the odds, at the rate OF $1OO to
$40, were on her; but on the second heat, the
sorrel mare coming in q length ahead and win
ming the heat in PAL, the odds we're reversed.
Not much money, however, changed hands.
The third heat was won by Louise in 2'40, and
when she reached her goal the sorre mare was
six lengths in the rear. The fourth and last heat
was also won by louise, by hve lengths, in 2'43,
the betting in her favor beng $lOO TO $40. The
quarter time was: First heat Al, l'2l; second
heat, 40, l'2O; third heat, Al. 119; fourth heat,
