Legitimacy at the Ballot Box.

Some twenty five years ago when
the government of the State of Ohio,
including the judiciary, was in the
hands Of the Democrats. the Supreme
Court of the State made a decision
declaring that any person of mixed
lineage, having less than certain
quantum of y frican blood IN his veins,
must be deemed white, and, therefore,
entitled to the right of suffrage
The decision has been reaffirmed by
the courts Of the State from time to
time, and was never called in question
until the ext gences of the Kuklux
Khan demanded the cooperation of
the Ohio Democracy.
The Legislature of Ohio, at its re-
cent session, has reversed this uni
form Interpretation Of the State Con-
stitution. and has declared that no
person of mixed blood shall be per
| mitted to vote in the State Of Ohio.
| And TO render the exclusion more
certain, it gives permission TO all
/ persons, and makes it the duty of the
inspectors of election, to challenge
| any person upon the presumption of
, admixture of blood and the person
! thus challenged must be ready to
! prove, among other things, that his
/ ia ;her and mother were Legally married
The object Of this law is to cut off
! the progeny of African or mulatto
mothers and white men, with whom
/ Kentucky has furnished Ohio con,
siderable poulation. But the requir-
ment of proof Of the marriage rela-
! ton between the voters parents, may
effect a very large number of other
/ people. If every man of swarthy
complexion be denied the privilege OF
voting until he can furnish his pa
rents marriage certificate, the right
Of challenge at the polls may be used
to exclude thousands of voters free
from any faint of African blood
How many of the voters Of Ohio,gath
cred from all parts Of the world, and
from all the States Of the Union, can
upon being challenged at the polls
bring testimony that their parents
were lawfully married? Such a re.
/ quirement, though intended for the AT
rioan, is necessarily general, and must
DE appHed equally TO all persons chal
/ lenged The Democrats very safely
/ argue that the mulatto sons of South
ern Shareholders cannot prove the
marriage of their parents \ Ger
man or lrishman or other person ,chal
X. lenged on the allegation of nlired blood
may be required to prove the mar
rage of his parents; and failing to dc
l.l
rest under the ban Of social ostra cism
as being a person of African de cent
and illegitimate at that.
The Democratic Legislature OF
| Ohio, in tying to do something pc
culiarly smart have possibly done toe
much. y more contem ptible and dis
reputable statute than the one they
have passed cannot be found in any
of the laws of the former Slave States

CONNECTICUT.

The Democrats have secured a
Governor for year IN Connecticut,

Senator for six years. 1t Is not a
result by which any true Republican
viii be very much grieved and the
gain of a Senator shows that the
great mass of the citizens outside the
great centers of the more ignorant
part of the population are still as true
as they ever We're to the sound prin-
ciples of the Government.
The city Of New Haven is the
chief mill at which emigrants are
made voters in Connecticut, as the
city Of New York Is in this State !;
and as the city of New y ork is the
seat of the Democratic majority here,
50 New Haven gives majority for
Mr.. English IN Connecticut. The
result which Is called a great Demo
cratic victory IS thus explained. The
verdict of the intelligent voters in the
State is recorded In the election of
Legislature that will send a stanch
and true friend of Irrational restoration
upon the grounds of Justice and equal
rights.

promoters Of the Philadelphia Con

zeal control of the late rebels, viii

serve her any longer. No one has
the least right to question the sIncer-
ity of his political action; but the end
of his political career shows how ut
terly he has misrepresnted the intel

suit Is anything but disheartening,

IMPEACHMENT.

The managers oil the part of the

sustained every charge IN the com

friends of impeachment believe the
necessary two-thirds vote IN the Sen

ment sustined On the other hand,
the Democrats and friends Of the
President argue that the charges,
though sustained, are not sufficient to
warrant impeachment and they pro
fess to believe the Senate VIII not
impeach.
As the case progresses toward a
conclusion, the efforts to secure an
acquittaI increase. The few who sus-
tain Mr.. JOHNSON from principle are
very busy at work in his behalf, while

The Wrong Woman.

Reading the article in Thursday, s
Chronicle headed, '.Shall w omen pro-
pose? in which Mrs. Cakes Smith
relates a story of woman propos-
ing to the wrong man, reminds me Of
an occurrence that happened here
some twenty wears since. A distin-
guished professor and divine from
this neighborhood was on a visit to
some friends east of the mountains,
and was introduced to a very respect

plished daughters-one Of them very

opportunities of meeting the ladies,
he became quite enamored with the

He, however, returned home
without showing any preference.
He was a man of very sedate and stu
dious habits, and soon became alb
sorbed IN his books, and for time
he seemed to forget his new acquaint-
ances. But the image Of one of
them seemed to be continually be

from on high. he concluded to com
mence a correspondence with the OBJ
iect of his affection. Unfortunately
or fortunately, as he afterwards sta
ted, he addressed the wrong lady.
He had got their names transposed.
The correspondence led to an engag e.
ment. The day was fixed for the
wedding, and the grave and reverend

proper time. But what was his con,

THE FRUITS OF BOLTING.

a very natural result of the folly
of boiling regular nominations has
been brought out in Platteville,
Grant Co. From one of the most re-
liable Republican towns in Grant
county it has been reduced to one of
uncertain politics, with fair show of
becoming the headquarters of Copper
headism for the county Some of the
leading Republicans of Platteville,
being afflicted with ''railroad-on-the-
braln," failing to obtain satisfactory
pledges from Republican candidates,
bolted the ticket, beat the party can
didate for the Assembly, and came
very near beating the candidate for
State Senator, for that county. The
town, on strict party vote, has Civ
ing some 275 Republican majority
and yet the town gave last fall about
400 majority for the Democratic can.
/ didate for State Senator, and that toe
when it was we'll known that the per.
I son elected was to have a vote IN the
1 choice Of United States Senator tc
serve SIX years IN place of j. R. Doc
LITTLE.
This result was brought about by a
few aspiring men who cared less fol
party than for their own personal sue
cess. BY such an example from the
party leaders, and with such result
on such an occasion, Platteyille has
become so demoralized in poltica
matters as to leave 1t uncertain OF
which side she VIII be found hereafter
The election on the eth inst re
suited in a majority of but IS for the
Republican nominees for Judges, whel
it should have been $50. How mucl
the PlatseyiIle Railroad had to Dc
with this result is uncertain. But, a:
that IN about the only question thai
influences the voters of that town, i
may be supposed to have exercised al
iunu ence.
We trust the Republicans of Platte
Vile viii be wise enough to see theil
folly, and to organize under the lead
ership of more reliable men and, j
possible, redeem the credit of then
town by giving hereafter their usua
