Cry for Aid from Miohiran.

The suferings of Chicago have
called loudly for relief, and the res
ponse has been prompt and liberal
But Chicago is not alone in its suf-
lerings. Michigan and Wisconsin
have suffered badly, even worse
when the extent of their resources
are considered than Chicago, On
Monday last, while at Cleveland, we
net a Mr.. c. H. Gallup, of Port
Austin, Michigan, who had been
sent out by the people of his vicini-
ty to solicit aid for the sufferers by
The fires in Huron county, Michigan.
He reported the loss as immense and
tle suffering fearful. OF six Or
eight villages in the county, contain
ing a population of 5000 only two
escaped total destruction, and thOst
were half destroy ed. At least fft,
persons were burned up. Mr.. Gal
.uphad received assurances of
sistance from Detroit, and the relief
committee Of Cleveland promised
turther aid. But they need assist
ance also from other points, and our
citizens should do something to all
them in the time Of their sorrow and
suffering, Supplies sent should be

Michigan. From the Herald we
extract the following particulars:

Rock Falls, 300 people, one-half des-
stroyed. White Rock, 600 people,

The interior townships are six
miles square. Of them only four
have escaped in Huron county. They
are scarcely settled, and the people
have been obliged to fee for their
lives, glad to escape with only the
clothes on their backs. Verona Mills
an interior town of 300 people, is
swept away. The number rendered
entirely destitute is computed at
three thousand. Fugitives sought
the Lake, and many stood in the wa

Ga coming out of the water the
crowns in the felt hats of the men,

crisp, while the owners saved their
lives by standing in tbe water, sub
merged to their chins. Skeletons
have been found in the highways,
and in the fields. Over fifty lives
are known to be lost, and others are
still missing. People came into Port |
Austin before Mr.. Gallup left

having on only their little shirts.

dom, the laws of the United States
could infict no greater punishment
upon one Of her citizens than to de-
prive him of his free and untram-
meled right to vote. And no man
could possibly feel this more than
the citizen who has imperiled his
life, and received disabling wounds in
her service. No ingratitude so base
as that Of nation that has been
faithfully and freely served.
And yet this is exactly the posi-

hellish maliciousness forces upon
the government. The question ma

The Soldier Vote Rejected.


From the Dayton Journal of We'd
nesday, we take the following:
Yesterday the disabled veterans
of the Soldiers Home turned out in
force at an earlv hour and presented
themselves at the jefferson township
polls at liberty to exercise their
rights as American citizens and re-
sidents of the State of Ohio, by de
posting their ballots in favor of the
candidates of their choice at the
election. Objections being made to
receiving their votes, the case was
presented to the Judges, and argu-
ments made in behalf of their right
to vote, bv S Craighead and J. A.
ShaucE, Esqs., and for the Democ-
racy, who we're the challengers, by
Messrs. D. A. Houk and John A.
Mcmahon. After a short delibera-
tion the majority of the trustees
the two Democratic members-de-
cided to reject the vots Of the sol
yiers, VIM. Buchler, the Republican
trustee, dissenting from their de-
cision. By the agreement to the
controversy, a separate bollot box
was then prepared, two clerks were
selected by the veterans, and they
proceeded to cast their ballots, which
were received by one of the trustees
and deposited in the seperate box.
Regular poll books were kept by the
clerks, Messrs. John R. Hay and
John Skinner, of the Home, and the
name of each veteran was written on
the back of each ticked before it
was deposited in the box. Six hun
red votes were cast, but the tickets
were not counted out yesterday ev-
ening, and the result Of the balloting
has not been ascertained.
The people throughout the State
have been endeavoring for some
time, to comprehend exactly how it
comes that American citizens, native
born and naturalized, who have com
mitted no crime, whatever, but, on
the contrary, have been MANNED and
disabled for life while fighting for
the maintainace of the Government
and the laws, can lose their privi-
lege of voting-can be totally dis
franchised. 1t cannot be understood
or explained on any equitable
grounds, and we are compelled to
full back upon reasons not in equity.
The plain and simple one reason is
that as the manned soldier will not
vote the Democratic ticket, and will
not affiliate with the Democratic
party, which he knows has lost none
of its reasonable animus since he
fought in the field a few years ogo,
in revenge for this the Democratic
party refuses to let him vote. This
is the one fact, and only fact as to
wherefore in the whole case. Luck
ily for this devilish party it happens
to be in power where these MANNED
veterans are lodged and supported |
by the government, and its des-
picable, contemplate, unjust and |
determinations are easily |
carried out. Next to taking q mans
life or restricting his personal free !

CHICAeo is the center of solici-
tude and sympathy, and is receiving
from the whole world, it may be said,
evidences of a practical character
that such is the case. No peoples
wants were ever more promptly re-
sponded to, than theirs. Nor do we
think any people, so terribly afflicted
ever manifested so much recupera-
tive energy as they have done. I'm
der its influence, many have resumed
business, stores have been opened
and buildings have been erected as
if by magic. Soon there will be but
little trace of what was so recently
a terrible affection, for strong in con-
idence and hope, the go-ahead char
acter of her people will carry her
through in triumph.
