for citizenship and gives more than
imperial power to the President and
Congress! Can madness go further2
Two years ago, a less distasteful
proposition was defeated by the peo-
pie of Ohio, by a majority of over ff-
ty thousand votes. What then ought
to be the fate of this infamous amend
ment? We believe the people will
rise by tens of thousands and rebuke
those bringing forward this democrat
izing measure,
The amendment, if adopted, will
place Ohio under a balance of power,
to be ruled By an ignorant and besot-
ted race. The effect of such a change
in u organic laws will be, to lower
the standard of selfgovernment, and
finally to plunge the country into a
despotism, to be swayed by unprinci-
pied politicians who obtain power by
herding with the African.
Politics will become the occupation
of demogogues and constituencies
tricksters, who will use tho ignorant
savages thus enfranchised, as the in
struments to elevate themselves to
place and power. Thus, the tests of
capacity, integrity and fitness will
gradually diSaDDear and the DeODle
will be compelled to yield to change
after change, until the masses will be
finally enslaved by taxation and pub
lie robbery.
We call upon the free people of
Ashland county to join as one man,
their voices and votes, that this great
calamity may be averted, and our lib
critics maintained.
This is q whitemans' Government.
Let us keep it so.

Republican County Convention.

The Republicans of this county held
their Primary Meetings on Saturday,
June, 10Th. The vote was canvassed
at the Court House, ON Monday at
ternoon, June 21st. The choice for
county officers resulted as follows:
Representative, Ira Paine; Probate
Judge, T. G. Bushnell ; Clerk, E. T.
Drayton; Treasurer, j. Kinninger /;
Commissioner, A. F. Shaw Infirmary
Director, Jno. Par1nenter Coroner,
Henry Summers.
The Convention cvinced a good deal
of il-temper over The manner in which
the Primary Meetings had been con-
Quoted in some of the townships /; and
charges o fraud were frequently heard.
Capt. Barber pitched into Assessor
:'Jake" because of the Egyptian Cow
business in Hanover, and reminded
him that such tricks were ungraceful
and out of order in a party that boast
ed of its inherent purity, morals and
intelligence.
"Jake" replied by giving one of his
most bewitching grins in the direc-
ton of the Captain, and heaving forth
one Of his peculiar snorts, wound up
by tugging his ose That grin was
richly worth a three cent nickel coin.
The joke was finally dropped, and
Kinninger declared to be the nominee,
by the aid of the ''cow'' and cake"
and yankee Robinson" This was
sublime spectacle-one that furnished
agood deal of amusement for the boys.
About this time Johnny Dogberry
of lofty mien returned to the conven-
ton with a batch of resolutions, and
said he was ready to report the same.
Gen. w. Slocum gave one of his bland
est smiles, and was ready to hear the
report read. Johnny read aloud
"Whereas" &c, DC.
AT this stage of the proceedings
there was evidence of a good deal of
t%aintness in the Convention. 1t was
feared there was a ''nigger in the
woodpile." O.! Ali Niger suffrage
Never! Nevcrl! was echoed by
many voices.
In the very nick of time, tie agent
for "Squires Medicated Gin" made
his appearance in the Convention,
carpet-sack in hand, with a tear visi
bic in his eye,

The Akron Bacon says a little
son OF Nicholas Replogle, of Middle
bury, was drowned in fhe following
way With a companion about his
own age, four years, he was following
some older boys, who bought them off
from "tagging AFTER" with some mar
bles. When the two little fellows
were alone they began to sport a tus-
sol, and soon Replogle fell into the
creek, drowning before aid could reach
him."
The States man says that A negro,
named Burns. this morning got a
horse and spring-wagon from N of
our business firms to take the remains
of his wife, as he stated, to Grcenlawn
Cemetery for interment, OH the plea
that he was too poor to get a hearse.
After depositing the coffin in the dead
house, he requested the sexton to dig
a grave, and then started back to the
CITY with the wagon, saying he would
return at ten o'clock and attend the
burial of his wife. He did not return,
and late in the afternoon the coffin
was opened found to contain the re-
mains of a white woman Up to this
time the negro has not been found,
and the mystery remains unexplained

An Infamous Outrage.

The Washington City Express News
paper SAYS, that on the morning OF
June, 23d, about 8 o'clock, the three
daughters of Rev. d. B. Nichols, re-
siding at Kendall Green, were on their
way to school at Howard University
As they were walking along the lane
in the rear of the old Catholic grave
yard an athletic negro man, who had
secreted himself III the bushes on the
roadside, rushed from his place If
conccalment, and seized upon the eld-
est of the girls, (about 10 years ofage,)
threw her to the ground, and, despite
the screams of the girls and the strus-
giles of the eldest, succeeded in vlolat-
ing her person. There were no per
CON, r,vesr-t lro- opvt at tire tirrrO of tire
outrage, but the screams and the pelt-
ing with stones of the ravisher by the
two Younger sisters frightened the
scoundrel, and he released his victim
and ran off.
The girls Immediately returned
home and informed their parents of
the occurrence. The father went to
the Second Police Precinct and mott
fed Lieutenant johnson, and gave him
such a description of the black fiend
as will doubtless lead to his arrest rnd
punishment.
This is one of the most shocking af-
fairs that has occurred in our District
for many a day, and we think that, if
the perpetrator is caught, the friends
of the poor girl whose prospects have
thus been ruined, will have the be t
reason under Heaven to follow the
precepts of Judge Lynch.
*This is a red-hOt Radical school,
and shows TO what extent the beastly
passions of the negro will lead him,
where his race is in the ascendent.-
The City of Washington is to-day, as
much under negro rule as any town.
