Ohio Is much gerrymandered State. When
the Democratic party got control, 9 few years
ago, they found that the Republicans had 50
rerrymandered the State that they elected a
majority of the Congressman. although the
Democrats had popular majority OF $4,000.
The Democratic Legislature went to work at
once and redistrieted the State SO as to give
themselves a majority OF the congressional
delegation. But the Republicans have won
Ohio back and now have their turn ct gerry
Wandering. One Of the first acts OF the new
Republican Legislature, say all the Ohio
papers, will be to redistriet the State once
more, 30 as to allow the election Of as few
Democratic congressman as possible.

liatiVe ticket. 1t was admitted by his enc
mics even that he made effective and bril-
liant speeches. But men who admitted
this, and who believed he would prove
himself an able Representative, ran theiI
pencils across his name before dropping
their tickets in the ballOt-bOL. They
could not make up their minds, they said,
''to vote for a niger"
1t is a small, narrow prejudice, OF which
an intelligent man ought to be ashamed,
and especially a man who processes to be
a Republican, for the equality OF all men,
politically and civilly, is at the foundation
of Republican doctrine, and that implies
therIght of every man, black OF white, to
stand up for any place or any Office, and
10 expect that no Republican will discrlm-
mate against him because of the accidents
of race or color. At the same time the
existence of preiudices must be recognized
as an actual obstacle, and one of the most
obstinate to be overcome. Some men will
never grow large enough to surmount them'
and whenever an Irishman OF German, an
Englishman or an African, presents him
self for an office, they let race prejudice
have full play against him.
Happily, even this prejudice against col
ored men is dying out. 1t Is survival OF
slave-y. Its mitigation is partly due to
the efforts of the colored people themselves
to rise in the scale Of civilization. They
are becoming more intelligent, more thrift
ty, more anxious to obtain respectable
footing in the professions and industries; {;
and they ought to be encouraged in this,
since every step in the elevation of the
mass of men, whether white or black is
for the general good. Itis due also to q
more complete comprehension and accept
ance of the noble doctrine of the Declara-
ton of Independence, that call men are
| created equal, ," and that it is not the busi-
ness of government or society to introduce
inequalities among them by unjust dis
examinations.
When we reflect what the sentiment OF
society was twenty years ago toward the
colOred people, and what an amazing
change has been effected since then, we
ought perhaps to make it matter OF con-
graduation rather than complaint that
| Capt. Williams was elected at all. We have
every reason to believe that he will so &C
quit himself in the Legislature as not only
to crafty those who supported him, but
do much to still further relieve his race
of the bias of prejudice, and help them for.

mites of citizens Of the Republic.

With the chills and fever, the victim Of
malaria may still recover by using the cele-
brated specific, Hostetter's Stomach Bit
ters, which not only breaks up the most
aggravated attacks, but prevents their re-
currence. It is infinitely preferable to
quinine, not only because it does the busi-
ness far more thoroughly, but also on ac-
count Of its perfect wholesomeness and in
vig0rating acton upon the entire system.
Testimony Is concurrent, positive and am
pie. showing the decisive nature of its ef-
fscts. and that it Is no mere palliative.
Physicians coEcede its excellence, and
there Is a constant influx of cOmmunica-

avouching It's merits, and bearing witness
TO its superiority over other remedies for
