r,,o Frodns of the Blacks.

The news from the country is that q sort
Of manic on the subject of emigration RACES
amongst the blacks. On Monday upwards
of three hundred came by the Danville
train from Halifax. to take the Southside
| road at the Junction. They were destined
for the Gulf States. More than three hun
dred we're left in and near Halifax waiting
| for opportunity to take the train. We
learn that the passion for travel and for
| making way towards the tropics is wide
| spread and enthusiastic.
We have no idea that this exodus will
continue to be marked by this enthusiasm,
| amounting, MS we learn, in some localities
to singing and shouting with strength Of
| voice that makes the woods, and hills, and
valleys, ring and reverberatc for miles
around. But VIC have not q doubt that the
current of black emigration will continue
until finally few are left but the aged and
infirm.
! We repeat that we have no unkind feel
| ing towards the colored people, and we
would not use even the slightest agency of
force to hasten their departure from Viz
ginia. Yet we look upon their removal
South as the very best thing for themselves,
as it certainly will be for Virginia. The
further they go South, till they reach the
centre of the globe, the more genial will
| they find the climate. They will be the
| moro comfortable and contcnted the farther
they 20. And we believe that it is their
instructive inclination that leads them to
draw nearer to the tropics, and not any
unfricndliness or unkind treatment that
stimulates their multitudinous emigration
to the sunny fields of the far South.

The Legal Tender Decision.

The recent decision of the Supreme
Court of the United States, that the
Legal Tender Act, is not retroactive;
or in other words, cannot apply to con-
tracts made prior to its enactment, is
Just such decision as every Demo
crat and Conservative in the land ex-
pected from that Court n a..n
The Court; under the responsibility
of It's position, and the solemnities of
an oath, rises above the factions ofthe
hour, and untrammeled by political
ambition, dares to do justice between
man and man, under the binding force
of the constitution.
The passage of the Legal Tender
act, annuiIed for the time being, tens
of thousands. of contracts, and COM
PEELED the reception of millions of LIE
gal Tender notes, on contracts calling
for gold and silver. The rank in
justice of such legislation vas exposed
at the time, but justice had been push
ed aside by the bayonet.
By that unjust law, the gold and
silver placed on deposit, Oh borrowed
on a contract STIMULATING that it was
to be paid back IN like currency, was
paid in Legal Tenders, when gold was
worth one hundred and fifty cents, and
Legal Tenders, less than fifty cents ON
the dollar. This, or 12thipg.;Yas the

Violated Faith.

Hon. 4. G. Thurman, made a
speech in the United States Senate in
reply to Senator Sherman some days
since, concerning the violation
of Republican pledges, during
and. since the war. Senator Sher-
man had alleged in his speech that
Ohio in 1869 had endorsed the Fif-
teenth Amendment, when that ques-
ton was utterly ignored by the Repub-
lican party, in that campaign! Mr..
Thurman continued:
"But, sir, then came the election of
1868, that my colleague loses sight of
entirely. You carried the State of
Ohio for the Republican party in 1868,
How did you carry it? You carried
it upon the Republican platform /;
which declared that to, every loyal
State belonged the regulation of suf
frage in that State. Was not Ohio a
loyal State? Who denies that? You
said in the platform of the Chicago
Convention which nominated General
Grant, that to every loyal State be-
longed the regulation of suffrage in
that State. You said that to the peo-
pie of Ohio in 1868. You said it
from every stump; you said it in ev-
cry newspaper; you said it in every
convention you held; and upon that
solemn pledge to the people of Ohio,
that to that State should be left the
suffrage therein, you carried that State.
But the election was scarcely declared,
President Grant was not inaugurated
yet, before you proposedto nullify that
declaration, to repudiate your platform
of Chicago, and to force on the people
of Ohio the Fifteenth Amendment
And now my colleague says that the
people of Ohio at their last election
decided in favor of the Fifteenth
Amendment"

The Beaver and Toledo r. r.

The news from Toledo, concerning
the new railroad, is fattering. That
City is taking a lively interest in the
road, and will contribute her full pro-
portien towards its completion.
We understand that the people Of
Shelby and Plymouth, are still exert
ing themselves to secure the location
at one, or the other of those rival vii
lagos: 70
Lafayette, is also wide awake on
the subject. Ts
Let our people be on the alert, and
loose no time in bringing every pos
sIble influence to secure the road for
Ashland. - s
Wooster, and other Towns along
the. route, will be vigilant in looking
out for their interests.
We cannot expect the road, with
out vigorous effort, 1
The valley along which the propos-
ed road passes, from Beaver to Tole-
do, cannot be excelled for fertility,
fine stock and agricultural wealth.
These products must find a market.
A market Will be at hand if the peo-
pie desire it, and make the proper
exertion to obtain it. ,

Read the racy and ~trenchent three
minute speech, made by Gen. Morgan
of Ohio, a few days since in Congress
on the appropriations for the govern
ment of the District of Columbia; as
well as, UPON the unheard OF extrava'
'gance IN the Navy Department. -.
These revelations are perfectly as
founding, and such acts should meet
with the condemnation they So justly
deserve, at the hands of the people.
Gen. Morgan, and Hon. a. G.
Thurman, are winning golden opin-
ions from the Democracy of Ohio, for
their vigilance in defence of the rights
of the people, as well as, tor their ex-
posure of the fiscal r~ottenncss that
reigns in every department of the gov
eminent.

COLUMBUS, Feb. IA, 1870.
STATES & UNION: a SO ~
The even tener of legislation has
not been disturbed this week by Sam,
or any other niger.
The question of the erection of an
Agricultural College,, is again looming
up in the Legislature. 1t is a large
elephant, and it is uncertain what may
be its disposition. If the Agricultural
College question is not soon settled,
Ohio will forfeit her claim to the Fund.
The question of the erection of a
new insane asylum, and the selection
of LEI grounds for its location, will be
in full force at an early day. There
are several "rings" in the Capital,
laying ropes for a big speculation in
the grounds of the old site, if a new
location should be made.
The Reform party having got posses
sion of the Legislature, and being aid
ed by the Republicans, proposes to in
crease the rates of taxation, for the
pretended purpose of charging the
Sinking Fund, and then, again, charge
extravaganza on this Democratic Leg
islature?
The fact is, the Cincinnati Reform
ers, so-called, are a splendid sell. It
would have been much better for both
parties to have held firmly to their Or
carnations, and left the Reformers, so
called, to row their own boat.
Tie bill introduced some time since
to legalize d~issections in Ohio, is meet
ing with considerable opposition A
few days since, Mr.. Wade, offered a
resolution in the Senate, the object of
which was to ridicule the medical pro-
fession for the desire to give students

feathers in her bed which she did
readily. After picking off the feath-
ers she carried the chickens out and
threw them away. Night came on,
Mrs. Hamilton Was sorely grieyed at
her loss. Sleep soon swept away her
troubles. At an early dawn she was
alarmed at hearing old chanticleer
and the hens-caekling.
Judge her surprise, when on opening
the doors and looking out, she saw
every hen and rooster, young and old,
grave and gay; marching round eye
ing each other with suspicion, many
of them sentirely naked while only 4
few had wing and tail feathers. The
