cial; despite the fact that the Republican
members of Congress have committed the
Republican party in favor of negro suff-
rage; only thirty eighth Republican men,
bers of the Ohil Legislature could mus
ter courage on Tuesday afternoon to vote
in favor of the joint resolution amending
the constitution of the State so as to al
low negroes to vote. For the Whites in
the District of Columbia; for the Whites
in the South, and for the Whites in the
Territories, Negro Suffrage is just the
thing, and without it there is for them no
political salvation; but it is not the thing
for Ohio. After this exhibition of
cowardice on the part of Ohio Republi-
cans to exemplify their faith in the Negro
We hope we shall hear no more about the
Democrats being opposed to Negro Suff
rage on the score of the apprehension
that if the Negroes are allowed 30 vote,
TIE Negroes will rise superior to them
Did the Republican members in the Leg
isl&ure who voted against this PROPOSE
tion so vote because they were fearful the
Negroes would rise superior to them if
they should be elevated to the distin-
guished position of voters? The Repub-
licans, after this exhibition of want of
pluck, had better shut up shop and cal |
upon their Grand Army Of the Republic
to dispose Of their arms and ammunition,
and cease to talk about down trodden
humanity in the person of "the man and
a brother. Statesman, 9Th uh.

RATHER PRETTY.

A pretty little maiden had a pretty little
dream,
A pretty little wedding was its pretty little
theme;
A pretty little bachelor to win her favor tried,
And asked how she'd like to be his pretty
little bride.
With some pretty little bushes, and pretty
little sigh, D.
And some pretty little glanoes from the pret-
ty little eve,
With pretty little face behind pretty lit
tie fan,
She smiled on the proposals of this pretty
little man.
Some pretty little Stoves" and some pretty
little "dears,"
Some pretty little Smiles, and some pretty
little tears,
Some pretty little presents, and some pretty
Lit lie kisses,
Were the p retty little preludes to some prat-
ty little blissss.
This pretty little lady, and her pretty little
spark
Net the pretty little parson and his pretty
little clerk;
A pretty little wedding-ring united them for
life
A pretty little husband and a pretty little
wife.

FoRcE OF HABT-Sir Walter Scott
says: "There was boy in my class at
school who stood always at the top; nor
could with all my efforts supplant him.
Day passed after day and still he kept his
place, do whatI would. At length OBJ
served that when question was asked
him, he always fumbled with his fingers
at particular button in the lower part
of his waistcoat. TO remove that button,
became expedient in my eye;
and in an evil moment, it was cut off,
Great was my anxiety to know the success
of my measure; and it succeeded only too
we'll. When the boy was again question
ed, his fingers sought again for the button
but it was not to be found. In his dis
tress he looked down for it; but it was to
be seen no more than to be felt. He
stood confounded, and took him down.

1t is said that of the beauties of city or
town is a nice cemetery, and that where you
find fourishing and enterprising place you
always find them take especial pains to keep
it in good repair The proper athorities
would therefore call attention of all persons
who have friends buried in the old Gene
terry to the fact that at this time there are
a considerable number of the tombstones
and monuments in bad condition, some ol
them have already fallen down, while others
are just ready to tumble over. The Gene
terry was last year cleansed of all briars and
bushes, and for the beauty of the Cemetery
as we'll as the honor to the dead, requires
that these things should be attended to-
There is nothing shows more respect to the
dead than the keeping of the place where
they as neat as our means will allow.
