Niger VoTING STOPPED IN OHIo.-In
Ohio the Supreme Court of that State de-
cided that the clause of the Constitution
which restricted the right of suffrage to
white men, did not preclude those niggers
who had preponderance of white blood,
from voting, Under that decision Radical
election boards allowed simon pure Guinea
niggers to vote last fail. The Democratic
Legislature has decided to put stop to
that, by passing law declaring that nj
one with nigger blood in his veins shal
vote.

The Tribune hangs General Grant in
advance of his sentence, hardly a good
thing for an opponent Of capital punish
ment to do. If Grant really made the
promise the President alleges, " says the
Tribune "thcn he must be fool or a
knave." Now, as the fact that General
Grant made the promise the President
alleges" is established by the evidence of
no less than four responsible witnesses,
the Tribune has thus committed itself to
the support of a candidate whom it de-
nounce as fool or knave. Stick a pin
there World.

TEAR DowN THE FLAUNTrNG LEE

TEAR DowN THE FLAUNTING LIE."-
Sergt Bates, who walked from Vicksburg,
Miss. to Washington, carrying with him
the American flag, was well received ev-
erywhcre on his way till he arrived at the
National Capitol, which radical policeman
forbade him to enter. This insult to the
flag occurred on Wednesday last. At the
same moment that Sergt. Bates was push
ed rudely back, the rotunda of capitol
was half full of vagabond nlggers, who had
entered unchallenged. Comment is su-
perhuous.

The .sMoral Idean Party.

A writer from North Carolina who has
been luxuriating at the "Moral Idea" con-
vention, gives the following account Of the
closing scene.
"Just prior to adjournment "delegate"
struck up "John Browns Body" with
great JUNCTION, lining out the song from a
Freedman's Bureau missionary hymn book.
ln joined the saints and up rose the cho-
rus. At first the negroes in the gallery
looked on in amaze, but pretty soon they
too began to sing and the uproar grew
tremendous. "OId John Brown" gave
way to "Hail Columbia" and that in turn
TO SO say yeller gal can't yer come out
to to-night," and then all were swamped in
tho roaring air of "Hog Eye" favorite
negro corn:shockiDg melody which begins
'SaPs in the garden siftin sand" and has
for its second line rhyme too indecent to
repeat. Fired by this, the saints joined all
hands round and executed war dance 10
the chorus,
"And a roly. sholy, bool,
An hog-eye,
And roly, sholy, bool,
An hog-eye.
For SAILS in de garden sitting sand," &C.
And thus did the North Carolina con-
gressional redistribution convention" dis
port itself in its closing hours

AT LAST.
BY STELLA, OF LAcKAwANNA.

AT last at last, oh waiting life;
At last, oh languid, throbbing heart,
The crOcus lifts its starry'eyes
And the green hedges start
Oh never morn so dreary-browed.
Or never sky so clouded-o' ercast,
But somewhere, 'mong the hills of hope
The uushine breaks at last.
At last, at last oh weary one,
That thought the Summer ne er wo'd come
The robin makes his welcome bow,
And bees are all a hum
And blue birds dip their slender wings
In rival dall:nce, TO and fro,
And chorus forth thousand things
Our hearts knew long ago.
The riiIs, like schoOl-freed children shout
And babble to the silent shore,
As if there never talked wave
So merily before:
And the tall willows downward plunge
To listen, if they rightly hear
The monotone of other years,
So far, and yet SO near
Oh dews as cool as sweet moseIle
Oh spicy breeze that stirs the heart
Oh fringing woods, ye some how thrill
The blood to quicker start:
1t seemed so long, so long to wait,
When icy fctters bound US fast,
Yet never sky so desolate
But sunshine breaks o. last.

Illinois Washburne, Grants political
keeper, rides to the Capitol nearly every
day upon Government horse, sometimes
attended by an orderly TO take the "clit-
ter" back. There are scores of other
Radical preachers about economy who
are taking their ease, at the expense of
the Government to much greater extent
than this.

the year for the re-appearance of the sew

for which We are indebted TO an exchange /:
"The Kn Kux KIan is said to number
seventy-fve thousand members in Alaba-

his hlndquarters in the saddle, and head
quarters in Sacred Serpent's Den, and his

His staff consists Of Col. Black Cat, Col
Grand white Death, Major Rattling Skele-

GEN. GRANT BEFORE THE PEoPLE.-So
eager were the Radicals to make an issue
on Gen, Grant and test his popularity in
the late Connecticut election, that
l. They nominated him for the Presi-
dency in their State Convention.
2. Their journals and speakers an
uounced him as their candidate, and ap-
pealed to the voters to cast their ballots
for Grant and Jewell,
8. They declared that the resnlt in
Connecticut would be verdict on the
nomination of Gen. Grant
4. They printed portrait of General
Grant on their ballots, so that every Rad
ical eIector should deposit likeness of
Grant In the ballot-box, thus making the
vote specially significant on the Grant
issue.
Result Democratic majority of 1867
doubled in 1868.
