Il The Supreme Court of Ohio has decided
that tie resident soldiers at the Soldiers Home
arc entitled to vote. This will add something
near thousand to the Republican vote of Mont
gomery County, and make the County Republic
can; and will also change the politics Of Town
ship that has given some 200 Democratic majority
from time immemorial. 1t will cause the soul OF
vALLAxDIGHAM to kick and scatter the birthstone
in his wrath; for it was the greatest pride Of
vALLANDIGHAM, during his life, to secure the dis
franchisement of those soldiers who had been
crippled in crushing the rebellion.

Correspondence Of the Missouri DemocratI
ATcHIsON, KAs., June Z, 1872.
have just returned from very pleasant trip
over the Atchison aud Nebraska railroad, and
knowing it to be aFoute of great importance to
your city, have concluded to give you some items.
The beginning point is AtchisOn, ON the Missouri
river, thriving city, increasing very rapidly in
business and pOpulafiea. As railroad point it
is making rapid progress A bridge is to be buit
over the Missouri river during the present sum-
mer. The route of the road is mp the Missouri
river to White ClOud, from thence northwest up
the valley of the Nemaha to Lincoln. Nebraska,
passing through rich valley of land the entire
distance. The soil is a rich sandy alluvinm, and
il as rich as the prairies Of Central Illinois or
Western Missouri. The principal points on the
ronte are White Cloud, quite q business point on
the Missouri river; Troy, at the crossing Of the
St. Joseph and Denver railroad; Falls City: Table
Rock, from which a branch is to he built directly
westward; Tecnmseh, where the Brownville
road will cross it.; and Lincoln, the capital of
Nebraska. This is very fine region, and al
thongh there has been a great am0nnt of rain,
the crops are all looking well except fall wheat
of this there will not be half crop.
The road will be completed to Lincoln in a
short time-it is expected by the lst of Jnly. 1t
will then be one of the most direct routes from
st. LOnis across the continent. The company de-
serve credit for the energy they have displayed
in the rapid construction of the road, which is
first class in every particular-good road bed,
engines coaches, &c. The officers of the road are
gentlemanly and obliging, and deserve fair
share Of public patronage. They are: F. K. Firth,
and chief engineer; NJ. NJ. Towne,
assistant superintendent; W. W. Rhodes, general
freight and ticket agent; E. B. Couch, cashier.
Mr. Firth is a very active, enterprising man.
The rapidty with which the road has been built,
and the present good condition of the road, are
sufficient evidences Of his ability. The business
men of St. Louis shonld look after the business
along this new route Immediately. ss'

BuRxIxG BRIDGEs.-An old soldier, speaking
of GREELEY burning the bridge behind him, re-
marked that the rebels always made it a rule to
burn the bridges behind them, when they re-
treated but never when they advanced. On one
occasion, during the war, rebel force were on
retreat down in Mississippi burning the bridges in
their rear, as usual, when GRANT concluded to
help the poor devils, by sending force of cavalfy
around In their front. When the Johnnies came
up to the river banks, they felt like the fellow
who met with nsishap, and was fur miles from

PHILLIPS on GRE1EY.-Wendell Phillips was
interviewed by . New York Herald reporter, on
the 9Th inst, respecting the Cincinnati Conven-
tion, and the Herald pablishes an account of the
visit, from Which we quote as follows:
"You were surprised at the result, Mr.. Phllipsf''
observed, in an inquiring way.
"Surprised! Yes, sir, was, he answered en-
phatically, but kindly. ''I hardly dreamed they
would take mp Greeley"
"wbo would you prefer, him or Grantf"
asked.
.Oh, Grant, by all means, " he answered. Il
would prefer Grant to either Greeley or Adams.
Greeley b not whit better than Andrew John
son. He is Of about the same stripe, and his ID
ministratiou would npt Be bit better.

although rake and obstinate, was never accused
of being personally corrupt or bad, even though
he did not lay very severe tax ON corruption,

A Terrible Tale.

A Mankato Wisconsin, correspondent
sends the following horrible tale: Last
Summer a family consisting of husband,
wife, and three little children, went from
this city to live upon n claim situated
near Heron Lake, in Noble County, and
about fifteen miles miles from 0kakens.
On the lst inst, the husband, who is
given to drinking, started for Jackson
ostensibly on business, but only to in
dulge in the pleasures Of his devilish
appetite. He left his wife and children
of the open prairie, in the dead of the
Winter, with scarce stick Of wood, and
what is still more incredible, while she
was daily expecting confinement. The
day after he left came the fearful storm,
and when that was expended the poor
woman found herself without fuel. She
knew that she could scarcely expect her
husband home for several days, as it
took that time generally for him to re-
cover from his sprees, and the conviction
came to her that her family would soon
freeze to death unless succor could be
had from the neighbors, the nearest of
whom was three miles distant. So this
desperate woman, at that time in so
delicate q condition that she might be
confined to her bed, started out in tire
fierce cold for help. At least such isthe
supposition, for the next day some of
the neighbors found her body, together
with that OF the newborn babe, stark
stiff, in n snow bank, where she had fall
en- faint and persisted. Mortified, they
picked her up and carried her home, and
here, horrorupon horrors, they found the
three little ones also frozen to death.

A Large Fish Story.

Captain John Evitt, Of the fishing
schooner Charles H. Price, Of Salem,
Mass, which arrived home from cruise
lately, reports the following strange
story : "The schooner was anchored off
Grand Bank, with about two hundred
fathoms of hemp cable out, and about
ready to start for home, having taken
about fifteen thousand pounds of hahbut.
The cook threw over line to catch n
fish for dinner, and having canght one,
threw the line over again and found it
tended aft at a remarkable rate. Think
ing it strange, he called from the cabin
the captain, who came on deck, went
forward, and found the vessel going
ahead at about five knots speed, but
could not account for it. He ordered
all hands called, and they hove in the
cable to within about thirty fathoms,
when they discovered that their anchor
had got hooked to large whale,
which they had before seen at some dis
lance. The whale ran with the schooner
some little time longer. The crew
weather bitted the cable, and in short
time the whale sounded, broke the an
Choir, and carried away with him a good
part of it. The black skin is to be seen
on the cable where it chafed on the
whale. The ring and small piece of
the anchor we're all that was left attached
to the cable; the fukes are gone, and
are supposed to have somehow become
attached to the body Of the whale
