In a moment of weakness the Legislature of
the great and free State of Ohio refused to
strike the word white" from their constitu-
tween the free citizens of the State. Because
of this all the Copperhead journals from Quod-
dy Head to the Golden Gate set up simulta-
neous shout, as though their cause had recev-
ed new lease of life.
But the second sober thought having been
exercised, the Legislature have not only backed
down from and wiped out their unjust work,
and passed the resolution submitting to the
people the question of impartial manhood suf-
frage, but they have done more-they have
amended the resolution 80 as to make the new
constitutional amendment disfranchise DESERT
ers. This, is, perhaps, matter of more prac-
tical moment to most of the Northern States
than the question of colored suffrage. More
than this; it indicates the resolute determine
ton of the free people of this country to hunt
down and exterminate this most cowardly
class of all traitors. 1t would be interesting to
know what right they have to remain in
land they were 80 ready to desert in the hour
of its greatest extremity. Such men were
cantioned in advance that if they proved rec
reant to the calls of duty they would find
themselves divested of all rights which loyal

of the territory of California, Nevada, Utah,
New Mexico and Arizona, and within seven

stars to represent the States of California, Or

ka, carved out of new territory and all of it
acquired since the constitution was framed; ;
that IN the same time we have incorporated

n,'ot eviI. however, passed off in the course of
ears and people were encouraged to 60 into
t,,s business of raising wheat again. This they
aid for a series of years with success; but at
length a new trouble arose. The midge, or
weavil, made its appearance, and proved SO
destructive that until within the last year or

This scourge, we may hope, has now had its
day, and will trouble us less, if at all, for some
years to come. Last year almost every one
who sowed wheat met with excellent success.
No midges were seen upon the grain-heads.
This is encouraging. Wheat, on suitable
ground, is a sure crop, if the weavils do not ap-
pear upon it; and judging from the last two
years, there is strong reason TO hope that TINS
