THE election of Hon. A., G. Thurman, of
Ohio, to the United States Senate. will be
hailed with jov over the land. Never in
ment of time more crowded with danger to
our institutions and liberty, under the rule
of mad Congress. The appearance upon
the public stage of man like Judge Thur
man, gives increased confidence to all men
of steady purpose and patriotic inclination.

veloped hign order of ability in the dis
cussion of the most important questions of

~Na~ Law in the Iegl.la,ure."


Because the members of the Legislature
had made up their minds to withdraw the
assent of Ohio to the 14th Article Amend
ment to the Constitution of the United
States, and were disinclined to have time
taken up in needless discussion of the
matter. the Journal berates them for having
established the Gag Law in the Legisla-
ture." The Democratic members are famil-
lar with the arguments pro and con in re-
gard co this Amendment. They know, no
matter what might be said to the contrary,
that the real object of the Amendment was
to furnish the Negroites with seeming an
thority to declare the Negroes voters in all
the States. This is not ALL They know, il
the Republicans do not know, that the Con-
stitution OF the United States requires
that before an Amendment shall be sub
mitted to the respective Legislatures for
ratification, it must first have been passed
by ''.wo-thirds of both Houses" of Con-
gress. The Constitution expressly declares
that leach State shall haze at least one Repre-
sentative in Congress-" It likewise ex-
pressly declares that ''the Senate of the
United States shah be composed of too Sen
ators from each State, chosen by the Legis-
lature thereof" In the face of these man
datory provisions of the Constitution, ten
through Congress of that Amendment. In
the compelled absence of ten States from a
participation, can an Amendment 20 the
Constitution be legally submitted for rati-
fication to the StatesP II. submission un-
der these circumstances were valid, the
Constitution is unequivocally positive in
its requirement that before it can become
part of the Constitution, it must be ''rati-
fed by the Legislatures of three-fourths of
the several States.n 81 .sss.stsssS
There being thfrty-seven States, to be
ratified as the Constitution requires, it
would be necessary for it to receive the
ratification of t,oenty- seuen States. Includ-
ing Ohio, it had-reeeiyed ratification-b
loalv tsosafp.ana- States, and 1t was the pur-
pose of the Republicans in Congress to de-
clare this ratification sufficient. It was to
give the Republicans in Congress time to
consummate this violation of the Constitu-
tion and fasten Negro Suffrage upon the
country in defiance of the will Of the peo-
pie, that the Republicans in the Legisla-
ture wanted to make long winded speeches
against Ohio resembling the assent given
last year blythe Republican members of
the Ohio Legislature to this great wrong.
The Democratic members understood it.
Through some unexplained cause. it was
very nearly week before the resembling
resolution, although short, and ordered
printed and folded Immediately, was sent
in by the binder. There was, perhaps, no
design in it; hut it seems strange, and the
anxiety of the Republican members to dis
cuss the resolutioniu allits length. breadth,
height and depth, showed an unmistakable
purpose to play into the hands of the Con-
stitution violators in Congress. In this
they were defeated. and the Democratic
members deserve the hearty thanks of ev-
cry White man in Ohio who is proud of his
race.

The Way the Matter can be Made

+ The editor of the Journal is not the only
Republican editor in the State who seems
indisposed to be comforted over the slight
sustained by the Blacks because the Negro
company of this city was not invited with
the Sherman Guards and Emmett Guards
to participate in the Inauguration, cere-
monies. Others fret and scold. This can
all be set right. Governor HAYES is a pro-
found believer in the propriety OF striking
the word White out of the Constitution, and
thus obliterating the distinction between
Whites and Blacks, and no doubt he shares
the indignation of those Republican edi-
tors who feeloutraged inasmuch as special
invitation was not extended to the Negroes
to be present at his Inauguration. Now,
let him set an example that will put to
shame all those who are troubled with
prejudice on account of color. Let him
invite Negroes to his Receptions. That
will satisfy his political friends, undoubt-
edly. e s

AFTERNOON SESSION
GENERAL BUSINESS.

The committee en- Privileges and Elec-
tions asked and obtained leave to sit dur
ing the session of the House this afte rnoon.
Mr.. PARR offered the following resolu-
tion, which was adopted:
ResoEued, That the trustees appointed in
pursuance of the law passed by the last
General Assembly of Ohio. for the location
and construction OF an additional lpnatic
asylum, be directed to report to this House
without unnecessary delay, all PROPOSE
tions made to them, from whatever locality,
for the location of said institution, and the
reasons which induced the selection made
by them.
On motion, the House went into commit
tee of the Whole on House bill No. IL, in
relation to limiting the rule as to damages
recovered in certain actions therein named.
The actions named are for libel, slander,
malicious prosecution, assault and battery,
seduction or nuisance; and the bill pro-
poses to make the rule for damages to be
recovered either nominal or compensatory
only and to make it the duty of the court
to so charge the jury before whom any
such action may be tried. .4-
After some discussion on the bill, it was
moved by Mr.. JEWETT that the commit
tee rise and report back the bill. with the
recommendation that it be indefinitely
postponed, which was agreed to, and the
committee accordingly so reported.
Indefinitely postponed
Mr.. .RUKENBROD offered the following
protest in regard to the "rescindiEg reso-
lutions'' which passed the House, and de-
sired that,it be entered upon the journal of
the House, which was so ordered:
A PROTEST.
The undersigned, Union Representatives
in the Legislature of Ohio, most earnestly
protest againststhe action of the majority
of this body, on the 18th inst, in rescind-
ing the resolution passed by former Leg
islature (the legality of which action we
seriously doubt), whereby the proposed
amendment to the Constitution of the
United States, known as the Fourteenth
Article, was ratified and the manner in
which the same was accomplished, for the
following reasons:
1st. In the late Congressional election,
sixteen members of Congress, out of nine
teen were elected to that body by major
| ity of more than forty three thousand votes
on the direct issues presented in said pro-
posed Amendment, after having been thor
oughly examined and clearly understood
by the people, thereby intelligently adopt
| ing and ratifying the proposed Article in
| ali its bearing and import and have never
since, by vote or otherwise, indicated a
change of their opinion in regard to its
justice or necessity as part OF the consti-
tutional law of the Federal Government.
ID. By resembling the resolution where
| ton was ratified by this State, the majority
of this body, virtually and implicitly, if
not directly, declare that all persons born
| or naturalized in the United States, and
subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are not
citizens of the United States, and of the
States wherein they reside; that States may
make or enforce laws which shall abridge

The Democra,ic Ball SIN Rolling.

At an election for Justice of the Peace,
held in Ashland, Ohio, on Wednesday, the
Sth of January, on strict party vote, the
Republican majority was reduced from
fifty-two at the last fall election, to six.
This was done, too, at a time when num-
ber of the Democratic voters of the town
ship were in attendance upon the Demo-
cratic Convention, which was held in this
city on the same day. - ---...
The ball is rolling. Similar gains in the
Sth District will elect the Democratic can
didate for Congress by majority of more
than one thousand.

By the decisive vote of thirty-five to six,
in secret session, the Senate of the United
States has decided that the President had
40 right to remove STANTON from the po-
sition of Secretary of War, and ordered
him back to that position, and when Cen
eral GRANT was notified of this action of
the Senate, he turned the office over to Mr..
STANTON, without first having conferred
with the Presidenton the subject. Among
tae first acts of Mr.. STANTON, after again
getting into the Office, was to draw an Or
der for $1,000 salary, covering the time
chat he was suspended from office. This
act of the Senate in reinstating STANTON,
denies to the President any control over
his Cabinet officers They aim to strip
him of all power.
