Gg There is great deal of loose
gossip afoat, just at present. in regard
to the course of the democracy in the
selection of their candidate for Presi-
dent. 1t seems to be understood, even
by the leaders of that hybred associa-
ton. that it is worst than madness for
them to nominate a representative
man-a copperhead-in hopes thereby
of beating Gen. GRANT, and hence they
are looking over the field for less
obnoxious candidate. Strange as it
may seem, the name of Chief Justice
CHASE is being prominently mentioned
bv some of the eastern democracy for
that position, and in language OF com
mendation which sounds strange when
we remember their former abuse OF
him. Admiral FARRAGUT is also con-
spicuously proposed by some OF the
leading papers of the same party
Both of these gentlemen are out-spoken
Radicals, yet that fact does not seem
to be considered any objection to their
nomination by these mongrel politl-
clans. All they want is to find some
one that will stand the "ghost of a
chance" at least, of beating General
GRANT, having no thought or care
whether he be rebel, copperhead OF
radical. But it all will not avail them
anything. Even if either CHASE or
FARRAGUr should consent to accept
their nomination-which we do not be-
lieye they will--the hero of Fort Don
aldson, Vicksburg and Appotomax
Court House, would distance even
them. Gen. GRANT is the candidate Of
the people, and they are going to elect
him, all the tricks and pitfalls of the
politicians to the contrary notwith,
standing.

~ The ousting of JONES and the
admission of ONDERDoNK, by the
Ohio Senate, is plain, undisguised
violation of the Constitution of the
State, and all the sophistry and special
pleading of the entire copperhead
press and orators cannot make any
thing else Of it. The Supreme Court
is the Constitutional expounder of
Constitutional law, and when nem-
ber of the Senate takes an oath to
support the Constitution of Ohio, as
he is required to do before entering
upon his duties as Senator, he takes
an oath that binds him to the observ-
ance of all the Constitutional powers,
or departments, by that Constitution
called into being. And when a
Senator votes to override and set
aside a decision of the Supreme
Court on Constitutional law, he not
only makes null and void the Consti
tuition itself, but he violates his oath
of office. This is precisely the posi-
ton in which the majority of the
Senate have placed themselves, and
all their talk and gasconade cannot
make it appear otherwise. M .a.

A One OF IN aSDy oest is MS
account of the reception of the news of
the New Hampshire election at the
White House, by the President and
his friends. We extract the pith of
it.
AT this moment the President ap-
preached.
"Ha!" sed he, sin one more short

hilarity. The President showed the

Dsmocrisy by takin hisn strate. with

oriiin and his consekent onreliability,
by drinkin some kind NV lite wine
with no more body into it than would
be in watered cider
"Confushun to Wade!" exclaimed
the President, holdin up his glass and
watchin the beads rise to the surface
with a pleased eye.
"Noo Hampsheer!" sed Seward,
"may Connecticut carry forard the
work she hez so gloriously begun"
"Our ofises!" sed Randall, "long

"Kentucky!" sed 1, "allus troo; tho
all other States may desert Dimocrisy,
Kentucky will be faithful among the
faithlis found. Her distilleries attest
her steadfastness to her party obliga-

And in such toasts the thirty min
utes wore away.
A private sekretary entered.
"a dispatch from Nso Hampsheer!"

aF A frightful tornado passed
over portions of the West, on the
10Th, doing immense damage to
property, and in some instances de-
stroying life. AS a specimen of its
power it is stated that in the town OF
Perry, Mich, large saw mill was
lifted up into the air and carried
some distance; large barn was car
ried across She road and completely
demolished; frame house, occupied
by lady and child, was carried
some distance, completely demolish-

not honest, and should not be kept

~ A correspondent, who has
been reading Mr.. Greeleys History,
has discovered the following para
graph in speech of Hon. A. II.
Stephens. made Nov. 8, 1860. He
thinks the present a good time to
quote it:
"The President of the United
States Is no emperor-no dictator; he
is clothed with no absolute power
He can do nothing unless he is back
ed by power in Congress. Mr.. Lin
coin can not appoint an officer with
out the consent of the Senate, he can
not.form Cabinet without the same
consent, He will be in the condition
Of George III, who had to ask the
Wings to appoint his Ministers, and
was compelled to receive a Cabinet
utterly opposed to his views. And
SO Dir. Lincoln will have to ask of
the Senate TO choose for him q Cabi
net, if the Democracy of that body
choose to put him on such terms.
He will have to do this or let the
Government stop, should the Demo
eracy 80 determine"
Ii that was sound democratic doc
trine in l86O-(and we suppose no
one will dispute that it was then not
only sound democratic doctrine, but
alaooys sound Constitutional doc
trine why is it not such in 1868?
Simply because it is sour OK that is
gored." Thus is democracy always
decides every question from the
stand point of partisans. The Con-

other department of Government,
are less than nothing when they
come in the way o: their party pur

Supreme Court Decision Over
ruled by a State Senate.

uc OcnOCIdtiC Och"eC Vi OhiO
have overruled q decision of the
Supreme Court of the State. The
decision of the Court is to the effect
that certain class of persons of
African descent are "white" within
the meaning of that word in the
clause of the Con stitution of the
State, which enumerates the qualifi-
cations of electors A number of
these persons voted for Republican
Senator, Mr.. Jones, and their votes
being subtracted, gave majority to
his Democratic opponent, as is al
legged. The Senate, defying the de
cision of the Supreme Court, which
declares that such votes are legal,
pronounce them illegal, and has ex-
PEELED Mr.. Jones from its body, and
admitted his Democratic competitor.
Just how many more decisions of the
Supreme Court will be overruled by
the Senate before it gets through, we
have no means of knowing. We
presume that every Democrat who
voted to eject Mr.. Jones, was an out
spoken defender of the sacredness of
legal decisions when the Dred Scott
decision was promulgated; and we
presume there is not one of them
who has net denounced the present
Congress for lack of respect of the
decisi OF the United States Su
preme Court, in presuming to frame
legislation intended to preserve to
itsele the powers committed to it by
the Constitution. The performance
of the Ohio Democracy is high
