The Onderdonk Iniquity.

Democ. attic devotion to the Constitu-
tion and the laws has had fresh illus
tration in the Ohio Senate. Mr.. Jones
has been excluded from that body, and
Onderdonk, the Democratic contestant,
has been substituted in his stead by the
Democratic majority, in bold direct and
shameless defiance of the Constitution
and the law.
The imbecile excuse set up by the
managers of this business amounts, in
itself, to a confession of the conscious
of fraudulent intent. Among the voters
for Mr. Jones were persons who, it is al
legged, had "a visible mixture OF AFRICAN
blood" Neither the Constitution nor
the laws of the State excluded such a
class of voters or recognize such dis
qualification for exercising the righ:
of suffrage. On the contrary, it has
been definitely, repeatedly, consistently
held by the Supreme Court of Ohio, by
Democratic judges, as well as by Repub-
lican Judges, that no such disability or
disqualification exists.
The offences of these voters, and the
sole ground for rejecting their votes is,
they cast their ballots for Mr.. Jones, a
Republican, and not for Mr.. Onderdonk,
a Democrat Had their suffrage been
given for the latter, there would have
been no thought CT objecting to their
votes. In the opinion of the Democrat
ic Senate, suffrage should be free so long
as it serves to benefit the Democratic
party Ciaciasadtti Chronicle.

The Erie War.

The excitement is unabated, while Wall
street, is as usual, in high fever, the
New Jersey terminus of the Courtlandt
st. Ferry is intensely agitated. Taylor's
Hotel is now the castle of one of the
railroad kings, and in Dudley s. Greg
ory's monstrous fire proof lies the i'm
mense treasure of a wealthy corporation.
In the New Jersey Legislature, bill
has passed, and is in the hands of the
Governor, to enable certain corporations
more effectually to transact their bust
uess in the State of New Jersey. 1t
slipped through, attracting little atten-
ton, but is the biggest thing OF the ses-
sion. 1t covers the Erie Railroad case
and the establishment of their offices in
Jersey city.
The Governor of New Jersey has
signed bill granting charter to the
Erie Railroad Company. This renders
injunctions granted by Judge Barnard
restraining the company from issuing
new stock, of no avail, as under the new
charter the issue of large amount ot
new stock is authorized.

The Southern States.

A writer for Tile Cincinnati CONNER
ci1 who has been for several weeks trav-
cling in the Southern States, sums up his
observations TINS:
If any Republican discovers his silver
plating getting thin, let him take a two
months Southern journey. A thought
full and observant man will find himself
newly electrotyped in the party faith
that swept away Secession and Slavery
and which, if true to itself, will expand
and ennoble by craftsmanship what it so
steadfastly helped to save by the sword.
The Southerners conceive that they did
nothing partic larly wrong iu the part
they took in the drama of the rebellion.
They feel no repentance, and no regret
unless it be for failure. This NAV be
human nature well it is human
nature not to let them govern the
country again. They have fond hope
that, through Andrew johnson and the
Democrtic party, (both of whom they
secretly despise,) they will be fioated in,
to supreme power, as of old. 1t is
strange that they can so delude them
selves, but snch is the fact. 'eThe north
comes" said Charles Summer before the
war. The North has come with ven.
geance. 1t grows by emigration one thou
sand day. How much does the South
grow ?
The freedmen have surprised me by
their native shrewdness and good sense
their cautious and submissive behavior.
and the keen, intelligent interest they
take in their new political privileges. Ii
they were one-tenth as vindictive and
contemptuous in their manner toward
the whites as the whites toward them, a
war of races would have ensued long a.
60. From close observation, l believe
them to be humber in department than
before emancipation. As class they
are anxious to work and get on in the
world. They are more Industrious than
their late masters. And though the
world has been abused, they are as loyal
TO the government as it is possible for
men OF their capacities to be. They
Would respond to national summons to
arms with alacrity and enthusiasm. BY
their votes in their various conventions
they have shown that they feel no hatred
toward their old oppressors, and ask
nothing beyond security for the future.

The MAGNOLIA BOILER ExPLosIoN.-At a.
bout O'Clock, after the boat had made about
I2 miles of her trip from Cincinnati to
M1ysville, her boilers exploded, tearing up her
deck, projecting great boxes of freight high in
the air, and tearing away great portion of the
cabin. Many persons were killed outright :;
others were blown up 40 or so feet above the
deck and thrown far out in the stream; others
were severely scalded on deck, others sutfocated
by escaping steam, others were burned anu
| when the steamers upper works caught nre'
many took refuge from the speedily advancing
flames by leaping overheard. Soon after the
bursting forth of the fire. the shrieks and groans
| of the wounded and struggling travellers were
browne by terrific explosion of powder in
the magazine, and then thousands of splinters
and missiles were rained down upon their
heads. Those of the most seriously scalded and
lnglel, unable to crawl from the burning
decks, were literally roasted alive.
The Magnolia's yawl-boa', making trips be-
tween the wreck and the shore, picked up as
many persons as she could carry, and several
skiffs which were sent out from the town OF
California, assisted in rescuing persons from
drowning The Chief Engineer tried the
boilers few minutes before The explosion, and
found them full of water.
1t is now asccrtained that fully 40 persons
were on board the i'll fated steamer, 80 of whom
were lost. The passenger list was destroyed
and the names cannot be learned, as the books
and papers were burned.

The defence of the President in answer
to the Articles of impeachment, shows
that Mr. johnson intends to die hard if
at all. He denies in the most emphatic
terms each and every allegation. He
holds that his order removing Secretary
Stanton was not unconstitutional that
Mr.. Stanton held his position Illegally
that, in appointing Thomas, he wished
to bring the whole case into the Supreme
Court; that he did not conspire with
Thomas to get possession of the War
Office; that he did not endeavor to get
Gen. Emory to disobey the laws; that
LIE was not correctly reported in his
speeches at Cleveland, Philadelphia and
st. Louis; in short, that he is NOT GUILTY
of any of the charges.

THE RUSSIAN AMERICAN TREATY
The treaty, Secretary Seward says,
stands alone in the history of diplomacy
as an important treaty, conceived, initi-
ated, prosecuted and completed, without
being presented or attended by protocols
or dispatches. Minister Clay, at St. Pc
terSburg, writing 1lr. Seward, says:
81 congratulate you upon this brilliant
achievement, which adds this vast terri
tory to our Union, whose mines, whose
waters, whose furs, whose fisheries are of
untold value and whose fields will pro-
duce grain and wheat, and become here
after in time the seat of a hearty popu-
lation. l regard it worth at least $50
100000, and hereafter the wonder will
be that we ever got it at ALL" The doc
ument includes the reports of the Secre-
tary of War and the Secretary of the
Treasury, together with numerous Off
cial exhibits, showing the character of
the country in all particulars.

FLORIDA ELEcTIoN.-GeD. Meade has
promised an order for an election in Flo
rida to ratify the New Constitution, and
to elect officers of State and representa-
tives IN Congress, on the first Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesday in May. He
orders that all bar rooms and saloons in
the State be closed during the days of
election, and closes his order by saving
that ''no contract or agreement with la
borers made for the purpose of controll-
ing their votes, or of restraining them
from voting, will be PERMITTED to be
enforced against them in this district" +"
An erroneous impression has gone forth
that two Republican tickets are in the
field in Florida, as well as two Constitu-
tions, when, in fact but one ticket re-
ceives the support of all the loyal men OF
the State.

TIE CHICAGO DELEGATE QUEsTIoN.-This is
rather an interesting as well as complicated
question just now. Exceptions were taken to
the regularly chosen delegate-Mr. DICK-be-
cause he s0as not q politician and without
looking further, or calculating what was to fol-
lew, his friends were cajoled TO urge him to re-
sign. This being done, and the principal being
disposed of, Mr.. Hathaway, of Geauga, the al
ternate, became the authorized delegate Well,
here was a'quandary. Mr.. H. though gen.
tleman, as we learn of fair ability position,
and address, was not the man that some of Mr..
Wades friends desired, and as he was Deputy
Collector of Geauga County, it was thought
that he would receive graciously, from his rank
ing officer at this place, information. setting
forth the fact of Mr. Dicks resignation, and
that delegate, had, in view of Mr.. Wade be-
ing prominent candidate, for the Vice -Presi-
dency, been conceded to this county, such infer
ton was conveyed to him. Through this chan
mel, too, it was intimated that Hon. D: Cad
well, would be the choice of many of Mr..
Wados friends in this quarter. The informa-
ton reached Mr.. Hathaway while apparently
clsarly shows that he couldn't see it," in that
light, and questioned the claim set up for Ash
tabula County. If such were admitted, he
hinted, Mr.. Dick might withdraw his declina-
ture, but if not, the honor belonged to Geauga
County, TINS showing no disposition to yacate
his place. Now as there is no way of supply
ing Mr. Dick place but by the alternate or by
tie resignation Of Mr.. Hathaway, the matter
assumes assomewhat unexpected aud awkward
shape. Thusthe matter stands, and in the absence
of all recourse, must stand. In the mean time
Dir. Dick thinks he has been little hasty and
is considering the expediency and propristy of
acting upon Mr.. Hathaway's suggestion.
AS both the delegate and alternate are friends
of Mr. Wade and will do all in their power for
the promotion of his success, it is perhaps a
little unfortunate that this movement should
have been made, particularly when looking
from this point Of time, and at the result.

WASHINGTON, March 25.-There is a
better feeling in Republican circles to-

believed no further time will be granted
to the President, even under the plea Of

rbe vote in the Senate on Garrett Da.

The vote in the Senate on Garret Da-
vis's order objecting to the jurisdiction
of the Senate on account OF the non-rep-
resentation of ten Southern States excite
much comment, Only two votes were
cast in favor of it, one by the honorable
member himself and the other by his as
sociate from Kentucky, Mr.. McCreery.
The general opinion is that this gentle,
mans next step will be to resign and
not belong to body which is illegal and
unconstitutional. Judge Black has re-
tired from the case altogether, for reas-
ons which will be made public in a day
or two. Those who cling to the Presl-
dents fortunes regret this very much,
and hold that the defense has lost It's
ablest man. 1t appears that he and the
President differed so widely on some OF
the points connected with the case, that
Mr.. Black felt it his duty to withdraw.
