for nearly three years was a member
of Company 9. One Hundred and
Thirteenth Ohio Volunteers. In the
early part of 1864 he became disabled
in consequence of diarrhea, and, la
ter on, symptoms of paralysis were
developed. Of this latter disability,
however, there seems to have been no
record of medical treatment IN the
service. After frequent attempts he
has secured S11 $40 back pay and a
pension Of $72 per month. --Cleve-

of education in the South to be not
ed since the war. is the fact that
prejudice and hatred between the
two races die in proportion as both
races are made intelligent. The best
friends that the Negro has in the
South are the whites who are well
educated, and those who have done
most to bring about ciprocal con-
fdence ale the level headed, ccmmrn
sensed young colored men and wo-
men who have come out of our in-
dustrial schools and colleges since
the war. None but those bliuded
by prejudice and ignorance can fail
to see these facts. Southern Letter

hands of republican Senate upon
the strength Of numerous colored re
publicans; and to cap the climax, the
members of his own party in the Sen
ate agree to report adversely upon
his nomination.
