4 R.s,eal Fal.ebood promptly Answered.

A Radical Falsehood Promptly Answered.
A few days ago Senator Sherman
moved, in the Senate, to take mp the
bill to cede back to Ohio the jurisdic-
tion over the. Soldiers Home, near
Dayton which Scbenck bad passed
through the House at the last session.
Mr.. Sherman said:
@By q construction that has been
put upon that session (frorn Ohio TO
the United States) it excludes from
voting all the soldiers who are with
in the mile square, or the limits of
that hospital, although they may have
been born and always lived in the
very town where the Institution is
located"
Senator Thurman was prompt, as
usual, to meet Radical misrepre-
sentations. He remarked:
.I do not understand that the de-
cision of the Supreme Court of Ohio
and, by the way, it was unani-
nous decision, all the Judges being

only requires of him, as of every 9th
or citizen, that he shall vote at the
proper place. That is the whole of it,
There is no disfranchisement in ii,
nor anything like that. The only
question is, whether persons who are
not residents of Montgomery county
at all can become residents of Mont
gemery county by residing as inmates
of a Soldiers Home, upon property
belonging wholly TO the United
States, and over which the United
States has exclusive jurisdiction. The
only question was, whether or NOT
this comes within that provision oi
the constitution in regard to proper
ties of which the United States has
exclusive Jurisdiction.
The bill was not taken up, as Sena.
tor Thurman gave notice of his in.
tention to discuss it thoroughly
when properly before the senate.

The OHro REFoRM ScHooLs.-The
fifteenth annual report of the Board
of Commissioners foI Reform Schools
in Ohio for Boys for the year 1870,
has been furnished to the Governor. It
is quite voluminous, and embodies
substantially the same subjects and
much of the same matter of former
annual reports. 1t shows that the
whole number committed and admit
ted to the Reform Farm School for
boys since the opening of the institu-
tion is 1,311; the whole number dis
charged since the opening of the in
.stitution, 976; the number in the in-
stitution November l, 1868, was 334 !;
the number received on commitment
during the year was 1s4; the number
returned on old commitment, q; the
number returned voluntarily, g.; the
whole number that have been in the
institution during the year, 47S; the
number discharged from the institu-
tion during the year, 13s number re-
manning, 335. The report shows that
the expenditures for the last fiscal
year amount to S43, ,389 II. The new
buildings which were provided for by
appropriation atthe last session of the
Legislature are making fair progress
toward completion.

WHITE STILL AHEAD.-Michigan is
q g loip Radical State. In her consri-
tuition the elective franchise is con-
fined to white men. At the late cleo
tion the question was submitted to a
vote of the people to amend the Con-
stitution by striking out this relic of
barbarism," but the people couldn't
see it in that light and voted down the
proposition. So for the third or fourth
time the people of that State have
given their most emphatic verdict
against this Radical measure, yet the
Radical Legislature of that State, in
utter defiance of the expressed will
of her people ratified the so-called
fifteenth Amendment.

The name of General Garfield of
this district is mentioned by some of
the Republican papers of the West
for Speaker o; the next House of
Representatives. 1t is claimed that
upon the subject of the tariff his
views are opposed to the protection
lists and in harmony with the senti-
ments of the people of the West
That may be, but it is not generally
known to the people of his own dis
trict. If Gen. Garfield is opposed to
the swindling tariff doctrines and pol
icy Of his party, if he has a squirting
towards free trade doctrines he owes
it to the public to not conceal his light
under a bushel, and as a representa-

schemes of the manufacturing monop-
olists. rs t
