THE RULE OF THE MINORITY.

The Legislature lately passed an act
providing that the minority in every cleo
ton precinct in Ohio should have one of
the three Judges at each election. Itpro-
vides that hereafter. the three judges Of
election in any election precinct shall con-
sist of the two electors receiving, at any
general April election, the highest number
of votes for the Office of Trustee or Coun-
Gilman, and the elector receiving the high
est number of votes for said office Of
Trustee or Councilman of those not cleo
ted thereto. If of those elected Trustees
two have equal but not the highest votes,
or if the three haYe the same, or if of
those not elected two or more have the
highest and an equal number of votes,
then the Township Clerk shall Immediate
ly determine by lot which of said two, or
which two OF said three elected, or which
one of those not elected, shall beJudge or
Judges of election. 1t also provides that
"the electors who, according to the re-
turns, would have been selected judges OF
anu bGOAl III AOASS SAA VIZ
4th day of April, 1870, shall be judges OF
election, and shall qualify as such, as II
the same had been then in force; and
said township and town clerks, respec-
lively, shall forthwith determine from
such returns who such electors are, and
notify them of their selection, a minute
whereof they shall make in their records D
We think this is a good arrangement
and recognizes the doctrine that minori-
ties have rights and are entitled to the
same protection of law in person and
property that individuals composing the
majority are. This principle was not rec
ognized few years ago when American
citizens were gobbled up so freely and I'M
prisoned by the Lincoln dynasty.
But if minorites have thus recognized
rights in little election precincts, have moi
a majority of the people of great coun
try the right to have their well settled
convictions regarded by those having con
troll of the government? Here, We SCI
a set of men in power who are forcing up
on US their "higher law" schemes, Negr'
Equality, &c, when the people are over
whelmngly opposed to them. Again w
ask, is not such rule a despotism?

THE Choctaw Indians desire to be ad-
mitted as a state into the Union. They
seem to think we ought to have red states
as we'll as black states-Indian states as
we'll as niger states. And why not2
Why not an Indian in the U. S. Senate as

few more carpet baggers. But they ought
to send chiefs to the Senate, Roaring Wolf
or the Warbling Tadpole. They could
roar and warble with Revels, Sumner,
Sherman and company. Wouldn't it be
nice? They could drink fire water with
Chandler and Yates, and might in time

grants provided they got in themselves.
