We learn from unloubted authority that
Il bill was printed yesterday preparatory
to being introduced into the House to-day,
to dislranchso tho students in our Col
lcgts an1 Universities throughout the
Satc--in other words to exclude them
from the privilege Of voting at the place
where they, from necessity, must reside.
Tho sole object of this bill is to disfran-
chise about n hun lrcd students at the Ohio
Wesleyan University at Delaware, who, it
is feared, will vote the Republican tick,
at the special election on Monday next.
The proposed act should be entitled " 4
bill 10 secure The return 10 Congress Of
Bnnabds Burns Of he EighM Congress
i0Ndi District and is one of the most dar-
ing OUT hagcs ever contemplated by any
Legislature since Ohio became a State.
Such bill at any time is fundamentally
wrong in principle and practice. a large
and most intelligent class OF young men
fitted by tho very nature Of their studies
and pursuits to discharge the duties oI
citizens, arc deprived, practically, from
the right OF voting altogether, for they
must, from necessity, be absent from their
homes at the particular time when the an
nual elections occur.
If a native or naturalized citizen goes to
Delaware, and there resides 'or one yeaI
next preceding an election, and becomes 4
clerk to a green grocer, or waiter in I
| hotel, he is allowed to vote, but if under
experienced professors, he is engaged il
the study of international Law, Political
Economy and other subjects directly con
nected with the science of government anc
| finance, he is to be DISTINGUISHED by rea
son of that fact. Exclusion on the ground
of intelligence, or the stupidity qualification
is the latest test aud restriction applied b.
the Democracy on the suffrage question
The attempt to change the laws regulating
elections five days prior to an election, AM
to legslate Barnabas Bnrns into a seat il
Congress by an act of the General Assem-
bly,, should be resisted by the Republican
members by all the means aud device
known to parliamentary law, Tho mdig
nation caused by these high handed pre
ceedmgs will be intense, but tho DemoC
racy will stop at nothing to defeat Genera

speaking of the bill now before Congress for regua-

innocent as it looks b. "jug full" He says:
1t is only "designed stalking horse to be trot
ted quietly through both Houses Of Congress in two
readings; after which it is to be suddenly saddled with
revolutionary amendment proclaiming Gen. Ulysses
s. Grant the successor to Mr. johnson and this is to
be put through both Houses without debate under the
gag law of the previous question: The bill is based
on the idea that Senator Wade who is only President
pro tenn, of the Senate constitutionally sue
ceed Mr.. johnson, and that the right man must be
some officer of the United States There is also re-
port that Speaker Coax is to resign any right to the
succession and to refuse to receive the Office thus
passing it over to Gen. Grant, in consideration of
which Mr.. Cofa1 has been promised the nomination
as Vice President by the next Radical national con-
vention, while Gen. Grant is to be continued as the
