The Laws of Elections in Ohio
A Most Excellent Act.

We have before us bound copy
Of all the laws passed by the Gener-
al Assembly of Ohio at their last
session, from January to May, 1868.
On page 1873 of this volume there
is a law to which we invite especial
attention, particularly of party COM
mittees who devise election tickets,
and ofjudges who receive them at
the polls. 1t is law which has
long been demanded if we regard
the independence Of the elector, and
the secresy of his ballot, which lat
ter privilege is necessary to secure
the former, No one will object to
it except those who desire to de-
prive or coerce the elector in his
ticket and TO give to powerful capt
tai the means Of controlling or die
tating to laborers for whom they
shall vote in all elections. In Re-
publican Massachusetts they have a
law for a similar purpose, which
provides that all votes shall be in
closed in sealed envelopes before
they are put in the baflotbox.-
Here is the statute Of Ohio:
ssSEcT1oN l. Be it enacted by
the General Assembly of the State
Of Ohio That it shall be unlaw-
full for any person within this State,
at any election held in pursuance of
law, to mark the ticket of any cleo
tor with the intention of ascertain
ing how he voted, or to mark the
ticket of any elector and hand the
same to him to vote at any such
election for the purpose aforesaid.
"Sec. 2. That all ballots voted
at any election held in pursuance OF
law shall be written on plain white
paper or printed with black ink on
plain white news printing paper,
without any device or mark of any
description to distinguish one ticket
from another, or by which one tick
ct may be known from another by
it's appearance, except the words at
the head of the ticket; and that it
shall be unlawful for any person to
print for distribution at the polls OF
distribute to any elector, or vote
any ballot printed or written con
trary to the provisions of this act;
provided that nothing herein con
tanned shall be construed to pro-
hibit the erasure, correction or in
sertion of any name by pencil mark
or otherwise upon the face of +,ae
printed ballot.
"SEc. 3. That any person OF
persons offending againsG the pro.
visions of this act, shall be deem ed
guilty Of a misdemeanor, and on
conviction thereof before the Court
of Common Pleas of the proper
county, shall be fined in any sum
not exceeding fifty dollars nor less
than ten, and imprisoned in the
county jail not exceeding ten days.
and also, be liable to a civil action
by any elector for penalty of one
hundred dollars for each and every
separate ofense, before any Justice
of the Peace in any township where
process can be served upon him
and no compensation shall be re-
covered at law fer the printing and
distribution Of any ballots contrary
to the provision of this act.
"SEc. 4. That the act to pre-
serve the purity of elections, passed
April 4, 1861, be and the same is
hereby repealed, and this act shall
take effect and be in force from and
after its passage.

Nag@ Be sure and send money by Registered
Letter, when possible. In some instances
country Postmasters have refused to forward
letters to us, supposing that our business came
under the law against Lotteries, Gift Enter
prises, &c, although it has been over and over
declared lawful by the legal authorities. This
action is instigated by the jealousy of Country
Merchants. In case any Postmaster snould
again decline to forward letters, send by Ex-

Graybacks Preferred.

rs Mr.. Grisell, in his speech at Ken
ton, last Thursday evening presented
a picture of the real character of
those boys who carried muskets
and used them in the defense of the
Government, and the Graybacks,
who also carried muskets, but used
them for the purpose of running the
best Government on earth, and then
asked the audience whom they would
sooner trust with power? A drunk
en- Democrat in the crowd promptly
exclaimed: "The Greybacks, of
course" ..5r -e-.a,.-.
Democrats frequently fail in con-
cealing the sentiments of their
hearts when drunk.
The fellow above gave utterance
to the real feelings entertained by a
very large part of the Democratic
party. They honor Lee in their
hearts while they slander Grant
with their lips.

With this list the canvassers and
speakers will know exactly what to
do.
3. This list, if accurately made
and copied, must be given to your
challengers and judges. With it,
you can do two things Of absolute
necessity; one is, you can prevent
illegal voting, for illegal votes are
always against your cause; and,
secondly, on election day you can
tell exactly whether your voters
have all voted. -l
4. We need scarcely add, that in
firm voters should be provided for,
and taken to the polls with com
fort.
Now, we very well know that this
advice is applicable to both parties
but, we have already said that we
say it because the Republicans real
ly have the strength, and therefore,
it is Of most importance to them
Now, it was by this very means that
the Democrats came so near defeat
ing the Republicans last year in this
State. It is true enough that the
suffrage deserter amandment was al
most fatal in itself, but that was not
the way the Democratic party
brought out it's entire strength, and
added the doubtful to it. That was
done by committee and township
work. The Democrats saw theil
opportunity, and wisely and shrewd
ly seized it. Now is our opportu
nifty, and if the clubs and commit

Gus opportunity. There is a town
