Discussion OF the XIV Amendment.

CANTON, Feb. %, 1870.
Mr.. EDIToR-On Tuesday evening last
several young gentlemen discussed in the
Catholic school room, on Poplar street,
the great question of the hour, namely,
NEGRO SUFFRAGE. Disputants We're
present from the country and town, and
several of the young men acquitted them
selves creditably. The decision was left to
the ladies present, and they were unani-
nous in giving their Judgment to the advO-
Gates Of WHITE. SUFFRAGE. Indeed the
arguments, Mr.. Editor, were all on that
side. The champion of the Negro side
was a young gentleman of the city, Who
seemed to try and make up by roars and
noise what he lacked in sense and argu-
ment, In fact, in lung capacity, few ne
groes even, could compete with him IN
that regard, or even animals lower in the
scale, having two more feet and larger
capacity of ears and lungs I hope this
question viii continue to be discussed all
over the country, and always be left to
the decision of the ladies' The question
is-shan the white mans government of
Washington and his associates be utterly
overthrown? This is the object of Wen
dell Phillips, Sumner and the other tory
scoundrels who furnish brains and devil
ish ideas to the simpletons, sapheads and
knaves Of the radical party. 1t is certain
the fools are not all dead, nor the nigger
ties all IN Washington l would vote a
plump and greasy Niger wench to all
young men who advocate Negro Suffrage

TOE THE MARK.

Mr. Kisor (Democratl has offered res
olution in the Ohio House of Representa-
tive, instructing our Congressman to urge
the repeal of all laws exempting United
States bonds from taxation, thereby ena-
bling the several States to tax such bonds
the same as other property is taxed, This
is good and We hope the matter will be
pushed in our General Assembly and the
loyal negro amendment gentlemen made
to show hands on the question Congress
should either tax the bonds or give the
states power to do So Let the Democrat
ic members ofCongress, in accordance with
the last Democratic platform in Ohio, vote
hgainst paying one dollar in interest on
the bonds until they are taxed as other
property is taxed. Ii the hondAolders will
not help to pay the police officer who
guards their bonds from being stolen, it is
the duty of the Government to withdraw
its protection frem them

Inspefiafism.

1t may be that our people have surfeited
of Liberty 1t may be that Republican
ism Is not adapted to extended territories
and large populations. 1t may be that
freedom cannot exist without virtue. 1t
may be all these reasons combined. But,
be it what it may, IT seems to be true
that, Notwithstanding the people of the
flame" of Liberty" they are preparing to
resign" that precious boon without
struggle, and almost without a protest.
We have all, in our younger days, loved
to hnger over the pages which told of the
heroic deeds of Rome's Republic, of Hofer,
of Tell, of our own beloved Washington.
We have felt all the Indignation of our
nature aroused at the recital of the acts of
Nero, of Dionysius, and of Caigula. We
have arisen from the perusal of the histo-
ries of Liberty struggles against Tyranny,
and thanked God that we lived in a land
where freedom seemed a natural growth,
and tyranny could never flourish With
heartfelt pride we have looked up to "the
old flag" as the emblem of all that was
good and grand in political government.
Its broad stripes and bright stars" glis-
tened with unspeakable beauty to patr-
otic eyes. And, proudest of earth's titles,
1t was deemed to be IAN American citizen"
But all this has passed, and the glory of
our country has departed. The scepter of
Israel has passed into alien hands. The
soil has become choked with weeds of
noxious growth "The old flag" no longer
the emblem of freedom, but "a Haunting
lie" seems but to protect tyranny and
villainy in their evil Vaccinations The
beacon" light has gone out and left US in
the darkness of oppression; and "the old
ship of State dashed about upon the
breakers of RadicalIsm, threatens Instantly
to go to pieces.
And yet, amidst all this turmoil and
threatening danger, the people stand un-
moved, unmindful of the evil which is
portending for them Day after day, des-
potism moves on, slowly but surely, tread
ing down, one after another, the liberties
and the institutions of the country, blot
ting out the Constitution, and setting up
its crown in every State to be respected,
obeyed, yea, worshipped, by the blind, ap-
athletic fools who can see no danger in the
distant mutterings of thunder or the vivid
lightning flashes which illumine the po-
litical sky and betoken the coming storm.
Oh, that we had the power to waken them
from their dreadful lethargy 2-Banner Of

MEssRs. MCGREGoR & SoN-The fol-
lowing is the report of the Massillon
American correspondent from this place.
1t seems he must have dropped it, and
send it to you for publication, to show
what heavy dishwater he serves out to
the readers Of that paper.
WEST LEBANON, O., Feb. 2lst. 1870.
Ed. MAssILLoN AMERICAN, Dear Sir
i wish to keep you posted on matters in
general. will begin with a short history
of myself l came to this place about II
years ago, from a mighty hard spot of this
foot stool. l was poor, it was from hand
to mouth. | worked at shoemakin, got
along till the war broke out, went into the
100 day service, got sick las many others
did, cum hum, all sound as a dollar, ex-
cept some Of my clothes which were hurt
IN the rear, ! had son in the war, and
when he got home, like good boy, he
give me his money 10 buy home-f can
get along bully now.
Joe Who'll sold his dog to Lew White,
and Lew thought of sending him to Grant,
as our great President is said to be very
fond of horses and purps.
Jake catched 1 mice in the grocery on
yesterday, didn't catch any more because
1t was Sunday. They say two of our Wild
ows will be married-one is a war widow,
and will let the penshun play out. We
had cat and dog fight one night-lots
of fun-I bet my bottom dollar on puss
they fought 4 rounds, when the spunge
was thrown up in favor of the cat
Jes Shank's dog killed Flick Roans
rabbit. A woman fell on the street one
night last week and came near hurting
herself, but ran with little of Mrs. Al
lens Zylobalsamum and it restored her
right Of o. Mr.. Editor, let me till you
Of the most unfortunate ockarrens that
has ever cum over me. You see I was
out with a masheen, and cumming up the
hill just below town, as l was say'n,
tuck the whip and gin the hoss leetle
skutch, he jumped about Is feet, right out
Of the harness, and run up town like Jehu,
and left me sitting in the buggy, with
silk hat, high heeled boots and kid gloves.
Friends ran out and propped the buggy or
should have soon been running down hill
disagreeably. Well, says I to myself, no
use IN taking trouble hard. But it hurt
my dignity some, that's all.
More anon,
JoSATHAE
n. B.-I forgot to tell you that I'm
still right on the goose" and still vote

The new naturalization bill before Con-

vides that United States Courts, of which
there are but two IN Ohio, Cleveland and
Cincinnati, only shall naturalize. This OF,
course, would efectually cqt off naturali-

izenize negroes and prevent foreigners be

WICK, correspondence the Day6ook. in
last weeks issue says
81 tell them again, that the South no
longer kneels at the throne of Mongrel
power with the prayer for peace and mer-
cy on her ashen lips. Her ayenger is no
longer asleep. The great and unterrifed
Democracy is girding on its armor, and
will not sDln hairs with Butler, Greeley,
Beecher nor any Of the traitorous conspi-
rators against the peace, union and Con-
stitution of this country. The Democra-
cy can no moro compound with them, and
their war and reconstruction diabolism,
than the true church can sh are and sane
tify the works of the devil
He concludes the letter thus:
It is true that the earthly hopes Of
youth and manhood are all blasted, like
fairy gifts fading away ;" and that moth
ing remains to me but disease, misfortune
and the burning memory of wrongs and
prosecutions. But like "the son Of Mar
Gus Cato" am
"a foe 10 tyran,s and ny eopRtTy's friend"
And although my limited capacities and
unfaverable circumstances Of poverty and
disease prevent me from any great work
ip the holy cause of the people, remem-
Der the inspiration of duty, and go for
ward, yielding the sword which have so
long borne in these Democratic wars, only
with my life
-.Al are not born the glory Of thsiE race,
But all may shun the pathway to disgrace;
In humblest Wales the patriot heart may glow,
That nurtures men, who give the inspiring blow :"

Our summary last week was crowded
out and we condense the two past weeks.
On the Sth in the Senate nine bills were
read a second time and referred. Senator
Potts reported back the bill to abolish
capital punishment and recommended its
indefinite postponement carried. The
finance committee were excused from
further considering ten per cent petitions.
In the House many petitions were read
for soldiers orphans Home, among
them from c. l.. Reifsnider and others,
and Ed. A Lee and others: of Canton.
Last week numerous petitions were read
and referred to appropriate committees
some for soldiers Orphans Home-some
for free trade in money, some to strike the
word male froIl the constitution OF
Ohio and thus enable women to vote,
some of a local character. Mr.. Kiser
offered resolution requesting our Sena-
tors and Representatives in Congress to
repeal all laws exempting United States
Bonds from taxation, laid on the table.
The Governor sent TO the House the anu
al report of the supervisor of public print
ing. On motion Stanley Gilbert was or
dered to be transferred from the peniten-
tiary to the Reform School.
The Senate passed the soldiers orphans
home bill. Senator Campbells bill pro-
hibiting Railroad companies issuing free
passes to officers of this state or of the
United States was discussed and indef-
nitely postponed by 81 to 10
In the House the bill to increase the
salaries of the Judges of the Supreme
Court was discussed Mr. Ball said he
proposed the republicans should take the
entire responsibility after the way Gov
ernor Hayes & Co. last fall had treated
the last Democratic Legislature. The bill
fixing the rate of state taxation for l77O
at 1 mills on the dollar was passed. Both
branches passed a resolution asking Con-
gress to grant liberal pensions to the sol
diers of 1872 Both branches passed sew
eral bills of no general Importance. In the
House Mr., Baker offered = joint resolu-
ton instructing our Senators and request
ing our Representatives in Congress to
vote for modification Of the existing
tariff laws and support a bill for revenue
tariff exclusively. The Agricultural col
lege bill was made the special order for
Thursday.

WHAT ARE COMETS ?-Professor Tait, in
his last Introductory lecture at the Edin-
burgh University, says: There seems to
be good grounds for imagining that com
ct is a mere shower of stones (meteorites
and fragments of iron) 1t is at least GER
tain that such shower would behave, in
its revolution about the sun, very much as
comets are seen to do; and that, as we
haye reasons to believe is the case with
comets, 1t would be draYn out after a feB
revolutions, if it described closed path, SO
as to spread over the great orbit, If the
earth, then, were at any time to interseet
the orbit of the comet, II would pass thro'
a stream of such stones, all moving approx
imately in parallel lines and with equal
velocities. On entering the earth's atmos-
phere with the same enormous relative
velocity DUE 70 the revolution about the
sun in differently sized orbits, described
sometimes with retrograde motion, these
fragments Of stone would, by the laws of
perspective, describe paths all apparently
diverging from one point IN the heavens,
and these paths would be rendered visible
BY the incandescence of the meteorites due
10 friction Of the air Now this is exactly
what we see, markedly IN August and No
vember, every year, less definitely at 9th
er fixed periods. And the orbits Of ihe Au-
gust and November meteorites have been
determined, and found to be identical with
those of two known comets"
