The CONTEST in Ohio

The New York Tribune presents the issues 50
squarely and fairly before the republic CO ncern-
ing the rights of the manned Soldiers at the
N Nltioual Asylum at Dayton, that we give the
article in full below:
We hear with satisfaction that the House
Committee Of Elections has decided not to re-
omen the case against Lewis ID. Campbell, rep.
resentng the Sd District Of Ohio, to admit testi-
mony in support OF an allegation Of fraud in the
voting or counting in Hamilton. This is as il
should be- Our interest in the case eentsrs in
the rights of the MANNED and crippled soldiers
whose home is the National Asylum near Day
ton. We seek decision on the facts which are
undisputad. and are as fnllOwa'
/. National Asylum having been located
as aforesaid, it has for years been occupied by
several hundreds Of Union Volunteers who lost
arms or legs or were otherwise disabled in war
ring against the Rebellion.
II. large part Of these soldiers would now
be legal voters in Ohio had they fought on the
Rebel side and come to Ohio to live by labor in
the fields or cities AT the same time that they came
to the Asylum.
iii. Between three and four hundred Of these
manned Union soldiers presented themSt Ives at
the poll of the township in which they reside
and offered 10 vote for Gen. SsLeDck, the Re-
publican candidate.
w. They were confronted by The lion. G. L
Vallandigham, who challenged them severally,
aud compelled a rejection Of their votes, as the
Supreme Court of Ohio had held that resi-.
dence at the National Asvlum was not legally a
residence In the State OF Ohio.
V. Mr. Campbell having been returned by 81
majority, tho Votes Of the sc maimed soldiers
had they been pOlled. would have elected Gen.
Schenek by about 800 majority.
vi. These soldiers by r.moying 10 the asylum
aforesaid, have list their residence in the states
OF Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois. Missouri, Wis
consin, &c, whence they volunteered for the war.
II they cannot vote where they now live, they
cannot vote at all.
On this case, We ask a report Of the Committee
and a vote Of tho House by Yeas aud Nays.
We trust that no question OF illegal voting OF
false counting at otEer polls will be introduced
10 confuse or obscure it. II the House should
vote these men properly or legally disiranehised,
we propose an appeal to the People. We insist
that no boar1er at The Fifth Avenue Hotel, ~
dweller in his own stately mansion beside the
Csntral Park, has any better right 10 vote than
these manned soldiers. They are in no sense
paupers 40 man on earth lives on his own
earnsings IL they do not. Let us see II, after
having stopped Rebel Bullets ia the field, they
are to be denied voice in the government they
faced death to save. Let us have the vote

The Proposed Railroad to Bowl,p,

The Proposed Railroad to Bowling
Green.-A correspondent from this place to
the Toledo Commercial, throws out the following
hints in regard 10 the talkedof narrow gauge road
"rhe citizens of Bowling Green, having become
satisfied that the Mansfield & Codwater Rail-
road, il ever built, will not benefit them, are
now seriously agitating the question Of building
narrow guage railroad from that place to
Perrysburg. They realize the Importance, in
deed, the absolute necessity, of procuring facli-
ties which will enable them to handle produce.
otherwise, with the villages which will grow
up on the line of the Atlantic L Lake Erie
and Mansfield & Codwater Roads, will leave
them quite out in the cold. The plan now most
favorably received is to run this narrow gauge
road to Perrysburg and have a warehouse at
the river for direct shipment Of grain to Buffalo.
This is not what they need, however, neither
would such a road be desireble for the DAYTON
Michigan Road, which would thus be deprived
Of large amount OF business legidmattly- be-
Ion : 'ng to it.
The better plan, IL II can be adopted; is to get
the Dayton Michigan Company to aid in con-
structing branch road to Bvoling Green, and
then let the requisite number Of freight cars be
ttached to the special train which now runs 10
Perrysburg and have the route Of that train ex-
tended to Bowling Green, This would he a
great advantage to the central part Of Wood
county and give fine trade to your city,"
