DAYTON, o., Sept. 10.
One of tho most disgraccful out
rngcO on the rights Of Amcrican cit
~ixenship that has occurred snco
the lato Reign Of Terror, was the
expulsion of nino crippled Soldicrs
from the National Asylum at this
place, for the crime Vt attending a
,,cctins Of tho Dem ocratic Soldiers
Club ut this place, ON tho invitation
ui ,hoir Democratic fcllo soldiers
ofDi yton. It ia a ino example Of
the bigotcd intolerance OF the Radl-
Gals whenever clothed with "a little
brierauthoriiy." Tho circumstsnc.
eS orO briefly thosc
4 call had been issued for n meet.
ting on Monday evening. for the
purpose OF organizing a Democratic
Soldiers Club, aud the inmates Of
tho Asylum we're invited to attend
and participate. The privilege had
before been freely granted for them
to attend Radical demonstrations,
and Radical speakers had been har.
angling them at the Asylum
grounds, INDUCING in the most vio.
lent abuse OF tho Democratic party
and candidates. General Which
had made u speech u few days be-.
fore in which lac observed that hc
wished chat every soldier who sup
ports Yallandigham had gone into
tho rebel army, 50 that he could
have had a sho' at them Under
these circumstance, 1t vas expect
ed that there wouldbc no opposition
- their attending the meeting; but
on the application Of some Of the
soldiers for leave Of absence, GCnCr-
al T. I%ngraham, who l.. acting Gov
ernor, few into II violent passion,
declared that "any soldier who
would vote for Fallandigham had
either enlisted for tho bounty, or
would have gone into the rebel ar
NY FOR fifty dollars, and forbid any
OF the soldiers 10 leave The camp
Notwithstanding this, somO forty Of
tho Veterans determined TO attend
the meeting without the permission
ofIIis Highncss. Tho meeting was
addressed by Hon. G. l.. Nallaulig
ham, and was heartily Applaudcd
by tho soldiers but on their return
they worO Immediately arrested and
incarcerated ia tho guard. house.
Nino Of them, most Of whom had
lost limbs in tho service, wcro OK.
PEELED, after remaining in condno.
msnt twenty four hours, Tho oth>
crs wero still in confinement at last
accounts, except one, n member Of
tho g. \. r., who was let of with i
Sigh: punishment, together With
two thieves, who were IN tho guard
house at the same time.
This outrage has created intense
excitement hero both among Tia,
soldiers and citizens. No doubt tn.
object Of tho commandment was u
Oycrawo tho amid soldiers from vo
ting the Democratic ticket, and L
drive the others from tho district
but, II so, tho result will be like tina
VI the gun, winch,
Whom aimed at duck or ployor.
Rccoils and knocks the owner over.
For score OF soldiers who hav
hitherto acted with the Radlcali
now ayov their mtontion to vot
the Democratic ticket, NaliNndig
BAN and all, and those soldiers VIII
were expelled remain in Dayton
When tho prosecuted Veterans lei
their Home they were attcnde
to the omnibus by hundreds Of SYN
pathizing fellow soldiers, VIII
heartily chrored them ut startm!
and over two hundred declare the
intention to attend the next meet
ing Of tho club, expulsion or no e'
pnlsIon.
AS for ~lnGraham, no would d
tho country a service BY reslgninI
as he IS totally unfit for his pos
zion and the welfare of tho dis
bled veterans and the honor of II
institution demand his REMOVAL
There Is another Asylum on Il
other side of town whore such bi.
