We regret exceedingly that the
Virginia Constitutional Convention
did not heed the advice of Gen.
schofeld and modify the new Con-
stitution in accordance with his
views and the laws of Congress.
l The Virginia Convention should
have followed the example Of their
more discreet and liberal brothers
of South Carolina, where not a
single man is touched, who is not
disfranchised by the Reconstruc-
tion laws of Congress. This is wise,
and the result is o glorious, i'm.

Without regard to consequences
journals urhesitatingly
criticise the conduct of their Off
cials when they deserve it: If ig
norant they are exposed and ADLER
men demanded to Fill their places,
if they become drunkards they are
called upon to either reform or re-
sign. Hence the universal condem-
nation of the shameful drunkenness
of Senator Yates has forced him to
acknowledge his wrong and prom
Use to reform. We infer, however,
that similar conduct on the part OF
Democratic Senators, is regarded as
an additional qualification for
promotion, as we have neither seen
or heard any murmnrs on the part
Of their constituents.

) The Cincinnati Times, in an edi-
torial on the mania for suicide.
which is raging to sucha friglitful
and unprecedented degree in the
civilized world, remarks: I
We cannot close these reflections
without expressing the conviction
that our frequent suicides are a
striking indication of the destruct
i've effects of our progress in what
is called "refinement," that has re-
fined away the health, the courage
and the industry of 50 many of our
people. Men and women desire to
escape work and crowd to the cit
les, where disappointment and pow
erty drive them in their weakness
to suicide. Men and women, in
consequence OF the puerile follies
ofour 'genteer' society, lose that
vigor and courage which are neces-
sary for the. calm endurance of
misfortune, and to make themselves
capable of rising above any tempo
rary depression.
There is a rotten feature in our
modern system of education, which
makes men and women too proud
to work in the sphere for which
they were designed, and that is un-
doubtedly the secret of many sui
cides - 'li -f' .'-iio.' r - s5F

Our neighbor in his last issue
administers a. rebuke to those Re
publican papers who had the man
hood Of exposing the shameful con-
duct. of Judge Conkling in dismiss
ing court at Eindlay for the vile
purpose of going in quest of whis-
ky. If such conduct is worthy OF
yindication, we leave the task fol
those who have taste for it. We
will add, however, that we are very
glad to note a great and growing
admiration for temperance, on the
part Of our Democratic editors and
politicians, and while we hope this
will continue, we must confess thai
we would prefer a little more prac
tice and less blowing. ~

WHAT is THE MATTER.-A short
time since General Grant stood
high in the estimation of Copper
heads, but now they can hardly find
language strong enough with which
to denounce him. We think we
know the secret Of the matter. In
putting down the rebellion, Grant
committed great crime against the
Copperheads of the North and
their allies of the South, but be-
cause Of his great popularity they
were willing to forget all this SO
long as they had hope that they
could make political tool of him
All efforts and inducements in that
direction failed however, and now
they all bark at him like q set OF
pups. We think this will not pre-:
vent the General from enjoying his
usual cigar. -

It is announced that at the recent
election in Georgia, no less than
fifteen thousand negroes voted the
Conservative ticket, and not soli-
tary one of them was rejected! Now
we would like to know what our
northern negre-haters are going to
do about it. Will they secede from
their Southern allies, who dared TO
electioneer for, and received negro
votes7 Northern Democrats may
howl as much as they please, but
their brothers of the South will take
the common sense view of the sit
uation, and henceforth get all the
negro votes they can. sau5 . IL

though he tried very hard, he could
nothang until he was dead. Not
succeeding in his first attempt, he
made sundry and divers others, the
first of which were equally fruitless,
We finally became tired of seeing
these efforts, and left the terrible
scene. When we came away the
man was still putting forth all his
energies to accomplish his dreadful
purpose. If he did not susceed, he
will undoubtedly have the warmest
sympathy of all who can feel for a
fellow being that has been disapoin-
ted in a cherished undertaking. We

The Chicago Times, the ablest
and most influential Democratic
journal in the West, except the La
Crosse Democrat, thus defines the
Pendletonian Scheme for getting
rid of the national debt:
"The first group contains the
Cincinnati plan, ii. e. the Pendleton
scheme The grand feature of
this scheme is what is called pay
ment of the national debt in green

the bonds which it is proposed to
redeem. Over twelve hundred mil
lions of fye-twenty bonds will be-
come 1edeemable before 1872. Five
hundred millions are redeemable
now. The way to pay them, &C
cording to this plan, is to set the
printing presses in motion. So
long as the rags and the lanpblack
hold out we will have no trouble in
paying the bonds at maturity. When
all have been thus paid, we shall
have added to our paper money the
trifling imitation of about $780,
100000, making, all told, circula-
ting medium of S2,300,0O0,000.-

Monday. The Sandusky Register
Of the 9th ult. says: He took the
measure for a coat for customer,
left his shop, and about an hour
afterward was found near the water
tank, west Of Clyde one-fourth of a
mile, and hanging to tree. He
had attached rope to limb, stood
on a stump and adjusted the moose
around his neck, and apparently
jumped off. His neck was broken.
He had been drinking man, but
had recently reformed. He leaves
wife and three sons aged about 6;

DISTINGUISHING knowledge.

We have in Ohio four medical
schools, with an average annual at
tendance of four hundred pupils;
twenty five theological and collegi-
ate schools, with an average attend
ance Of three thousand pupils; and
academic and normal schools, etc,
with fully five thousand attendants.
Of these eight thousand students,
at least one-fourth, or about two
thousand, are voters; and of these
two thousand, nine tenths were, be-
fore their student.ship, citizens of
Ohio. Were these intelligent and
energetic young citizens anything
else than what they are-were they
employed, instead of in gaining
knowledge, in digging bitches, work
ing on canals or building railroads,
thirty days residence in any county
in the State would give these citi-
zens of Ohio right to vote therein.
And so these citizens had until the
present Democratic Legislature cast
its eve on them. But our Solons
had the rare tact to perceive that
each and every one Of these colleges
twas nursury Of Republicanism.
1t is a curious fact that wherever
the greatest ignorance exists De
mocracy most flourishes, and that
education. always stimulates Re-
publicanism. Thus while at the
last state election in Ohio only fifty
and half per cent. of the voters
were Republicans, and forty nine
and a half per cent. were Demo
cratic, of the students Of the State
fully ninety per cent. were Repub-
licans. The keen eyes of our Dem.
ocratic legislators perceived this
and, partly in order to cut off fif
teen hundred from the scanty Re
publican majority in this State
partly from spite against class Q.
men who know more than them
selves, they have passed a law to
prevent these students from gaining
a residence or voting at the place
where they are students. Anybody
else can gain a residence by mucf
more temporary stay; these mer
are excluded, for the crime, first, O
being intelligent. and, second, O
voting the Republican ticket.
1 We do not wonder that this ar
bitrary and unjust action on th'
part of our legislative nincompoop
has caused much indignation on tn
part of the students of the State
Meetings have been held in larg'
number of our Ohio colleges, ant

Democrats say that the inmates
of the Soldiers Home are living on
the "charity'' of the United States.
Such word should have no ex-
istence in reference to such patriots.
They are not objects of"charity,"
but the Government and the coun-
try owe them debt which can never
be paid by mere food and raiment.
What inducement can it be to
men to rally to the defence of their
country, in ITS hour of peril, with
the memory before them that if
they return wounded and disabled,
they will henceforth be regarded as
beggars, instead of defenders and
ornaments of the nation?
Our readers know that during the
winters of 1867 we advocated with
all earnestness and sincerity, the
enactment of State law, giving
these patriots State pension in ad
dition to what they receive from
the General Government; and were
we in the Legislature, we would
labor with all the power God has
given us, to secure the passage ol
such law. instead of plotting to
disfranchise and bring them into
disrepute. Although our humble
efforts in this direction have as YET
been in vain, we still hope to SCI
the day when such a righteous Law
will honor the State of Ohio.

If, says an exchange, the Demo

anything worse than negro, it is a
Union soldier. Not content with
disfranchising the disabled veterans
in the Home provided for them
