"What NextP"

The Columbus Morning Journal,
of Tuesday, contained an editorial
article, giving notice of the intcn-
tion of the Democracy to introduce
a bill on Tuesday, to prohibit stu
dents, attending Colleges, from yo-
ting at their precincts, and force it
through both Houses under whip
and spur The object was, the
Journal says, to prohibit about one
hundred young men at Delaware
College from voting, on Monday
next, for Congressman in the Sth
District. These young men, the
Democracy ascertained, were Re
publicans, and would vote for Gen
eral Beatty and by prohibiting
them from voting, they hoped to
elect Butternut Burns.
The Columbus correspondent of
the Cincinnati Gazette, of yesterday
morning,writing under date ofTues-
day evening, says, in relation to this
mean attempt to disfranchise Union
voters:
Mr. Mann, of the House, had q
bill in his pocket, which he expected
to introduce to-day, to prohibit
students from voting while attend
ing college. It's special purpose
was to prevent the students at Del
aware from voting in the Eighth
District next Monday. AS there
are only five days before the elec-
ton, the bill could not be passed
in time, unless introduced to- day.
There was considerable excite
ment in the Senate, and the ten
refused to adjourn till the Sergeant
alarms had been sent into the
streets and made unavailing search
for absent Senators.
None of the Northern or Eastern
mails arrived on time to day.

1t is precious little the sham
Democracy in the Legislature OF
this State care for the will of the
people of Ohio, and they will spare
no effort in theirpower whatever to
add to their strength, either in the
State or National Government. AS
an evidence of their disregard for
the expressed will of the people OF
this State, they have taken up man
whom the people, by their votes iii
Octoberlast, ,'repudiatcd, and elected
him to the U. S. Senate-a position
he could not obtain by the popular
vote of the people of Ohio. Thur
man is not the choice of a majority
of the voters of Ohio ferany office.
The people have just refused to
elect him as their Governor; yet
with this condemnation upon him,
this reckless, insignificant majority
in the Legislature have elected him
to the U. S. Senate. He has no
the votes nor the hearts ofthe peo-
ernment in Ohio, with him nor for
him, as they have just shown by
their votes.

construction, and the work will be
pushed on to completion if there is
power in that body to do it. John
son has threatened that if he cannot
stop Congress by any other means
in his power, he will not decline a
resort to force lie will soon find
himself left to his derNier resort
Congress and the country will be
prepared for him; and it may afford
an opportunity of ridding the coun-
try of a most unmitigated pest,
should he put himself at the head of
military force and move with fixed
bayone.s upon Congress, which he
has very significantly limited in his
messags.
The election of Thurman to the
Senate is now fixed thing, Val
landigl am made apoor show in the
caucus, and yet he is the represent
alive man ofthe party, The change
in the Senate by the election of
Thurman will not at all interfere
with the controlling power of the
Republicans in that body, and it is
only a victory to the Democracy in
name, being barren of all fruit. The
election in the Sth District, to fill
the vacancy occasioned by the death
of Hamilton, is looked to with
much interest here, and the result,
whatever it may be, will be signifi-
cant.
The financial brain of Congress
is busily employed in framing a
system that shall give hope of a
prosperous, reliable future to our
people. A thousand plans are pro-
posed, but no one is resolved upon.
1t may be safe to say the currency
will not be contracted; the banks
will be taxed, but not destroyed
the taxes will be diminished; the
whisky tax not reduced, and specie
not forced upon the coun-
try until the people themselves de-
mand it. And further deponant
saith not. OBSERVER.

Esq, of Indiana, in relation to al
bwing his name to be used in con
nection with the candidacy for Gov

reasons;

Speaker, the term Of which office
does not expire until March 4, 1869 ;
and, since that election, declined
a remunerative business offer, be-

me to serve out the full term of the
Office whose obligations and rcspon'

interesting and patriotic letter, Mr.,

"Thc staple argument Of our OPP
ponents is to be the charge of ''ne'
gro supremacy" They will seek by
this to darkcn counsel and to invoke
and excite prejudice, But the issue
is too plain and pOlpable for them
to mystity or misrepresent. They
demand that the men of the South,
who used the power Of their State
governments TO organize the Con.
fderacy, to involve the country in
n long and bloody war, to hurl the
armies of the rebellion against the
defenders of the Union, and to car.

From the Morning Journal of the 2ad.

From the Morning journal of the pod.
1t is now generally understood
that prior to the departure from
the city of the honorable Demo
cratic members on Friday last, they
formally agreed that a bill disfran,
chising all students who are receiv.
ing a liberal education in the col,
luges Of Ohio, should be introduced
and passed on their return. A GER
tain Honorable Mann, to whom il
was not necessary to leave the city
in order to see his wife or wives, was
delegated and empowered to draft a
bill to exclude from the privilege OF
voting all young men who, by OBJ
tanning collegiate education, had
disqualified themselves tc vote the
Democratic ticket. There was q pc
culiar fitness and propriety in Sc
Letting the Honorable Mann for this
particular work, for the reason that
in himself least of all was there an
excess of education or the disquali-
flying amount Of intelligence which
excluded him from the exercise of
any privilege based upon ignorance.
Yesterday at 2 p. M. the bill was
ready to be introduced, buta provi-
dental snow-storm blocked up the
routes to the Capitol, and Mr..
Speaker could muster but 80 mem
bers in the House, and Charley
Flood, with all the efforts ofthe Ser
geant.at- Arms of the Senate, was
unable to assure the Lieut.. Govern.
or that there were more than ten
Senators present. What was to be
doneY Five days were required to
pass the bill through both Houses.
Unless the bill was read the first
time yesterday it could not reach its
final passage before Monday, and
hence the students Of the Ohio Wes-
leyan University would not be pre-
vented from voting the Republican
ticket.
The Tuscarorian Stambaugh raw
ed "IIe would sit six weeks" and
do other things as bad, ifnot worse,
He had actually seen Senators leave
their seats A warrior of the Wy
andot tribe raised his tomahawk
and threatened to dispatch some
body, but it proved that he was on
ly anxious to dispatch the Sergeant
at Arms-atter the absentees, The
Sergeant was dispatched, and has
not been seen since. At this stage
of the proceedings the wide-awake
correspondents Of the Cincinnati
press took possession Of the Senate
and outnumbered the Sen
ators, 1t was found, after frantic
endeavors that the number Of Sen
ators could not be increased above
