A SHALL Pox REMEDY. Disinfection Is the
mos. certain preventive against the spread of
small pox. Carbolic acid, diluted in sixty parts
of water to one of the acid, sprinkled upon the
clothing once or twice day, will prevent an in

acid, say one-fourth of an ounce, kept in vial,
stoppled with a common cork, and set in room

three to six of such vials, scattered through

THE Democrats in the Leg


islature have previously often


ded the Ohio State Joural,


and it cries out; "The past


week has been a work of tri-


umph for the white-skinned


aristocracy." This fuss is


made because the Ohio SEN


ate has passed a bill restrict


ing the privilege of voting
exclusively to white men Of
the requisite age, and be-
cause the House has passed a
bill to prevent the mixing up
of White and Colored chill
.dren in the same schools. AZ
ter scolding through over
half a column, the Journallifts
its finger, and warns "the
Caucasian aristocracy that it
is just possible that they may
carry their prosecutions of an
unfortunate race q little too
far, and that a reaction in fa-
vor of the unjustly oppressed
may sweep the oppressors for
ever from power"

on this matter at the election

thorough discussion Of the
whole question, the PROPOSE
ton to strike out Of the State
Constitution the word White

Il is entirely impracticable for this of
fee to reply TO the immense number of
inquiries from claimants or their friends
and attorneys, as to the condition or
cause of delay in the adjustment Of their
bounty claims, without serious Interrupt
tion to the public business, especially 10
the very matter of settling these partic-
ular claims. This printed circular IS the
only response that can be given.


All the bounty claims now on file are
being settled as fast as the Second Aus
ditor sf the Treasury can furnish, from
the muster rolls now deposited in his
Office, The evidence necessary to deter
mine the validity of each claim This in
formation has been applied for, and the
Auditor is now furnishing responses to
onr inquiries at the rate of about 10000
per month. At this rate it is expected
that the whole number of claims filed or
likely to be filed, will be acted on and
finally settled in the next nine months.


When a claim is allowed, the check
is drawn TO the order of the claimant and
and sent, with his discharge, to his at
torney, or to himself. where no attorney
has been appointed, and is payable only
upon endorsement by claimant, unless the
latter shall, by power of attorney exc
cuted subsequent to the date of the check,
authorize his attorney to act for him. If
any check is paid on improper endorse
ment, the assistant Treasurer of the Uni
ted States at New York City, on whom
all checks for additional bounty are
drawn, Is the responsible party to whom
the payee, in such case, must look for
payment. l. will thus be seen that the
soldier cannot be defrauded, unless, by
his own act, he places himself in the

On Monday, the 10th, Mr. Hunt the Chan
cellor OF the Exchequer, stated in the House OF
Commons that the expedition to Abyssinia had
already cost the country sum approaching
close to four millions sterling. This is a fair
sum to begin with. So far as we know up
to the present moment the forces under Sir
Robert Napier have only secured position at
the summit of the heights. At Senafe where
they had established themselves, they were
many hundreds of miles from Magdala, and the
country through which they had to pass was
not only difficult and dangerous in the extreme,
80 far asst was known, certainly for the first
hundred miles, but, with the exception Of some
miserably lean cattle and some firewood, was
totally without the means of maintaining an
army. The army must thus be dependent on
Annesley Bay, and connection with the bay
can only be maintained by establishing along
the line Of march series of depots. This,
however, is not the worst The rainy season
Is about to set in, and, according to Sir Samuel
Baker, the best authority now on Abyssinia,
military operations must be suspended during
fits continuance The mountain passes will
become for the time 80 many rivers, tributary
to the great tributaries of the Nile. Commu-
'nication between depot and depot, and parti-
'cularly between the heights and the lower
ground, including the bay, will be impossible.
According to the same authority matters are
not much better for some time after the rains,
as the rank young grass is poisonous to the
cattle. The future Of the expedition is not,
therefore, particularly bright. 1t WILL we
fear, cost the British people many more mil
aions before its mission is accomplished.

The election passed and the excite ment consequent thereupon having in a great measure subsided, it is reason able to conclude that the reading pub lie will look with some interest for the position and future course of the jour- nals of our country. It is . source of some qualification to know that most of the leading papers of the South are in their tone eminently conservative, and manifest decided disposition to submit quietly to the administration of the government under Radical rule and yield full obedience to all laws that may be enacted by the ruling par- ty, so far se such laws are founded in justice and compatible with the con- stitution of our government. A quiet conservative policy is certainly at this time commeudable and will conduce much to the prosperity of the South, the quieting of all disturbances, and the development of her interests. Az for our position in the future, while we shall not abate one jot in the advo- cacy of the principles of Democracy, we will endeavor to mark out medi- um course, avoiding extremes in every thing and honestly pursue it. We have never been incendiary, have nev- CT encouraged violence, have never counseled resistance to law, nor shall we ever do it. While we are bitterly opposed to Radicalism we arc not so prejudiced as to be blind to any good thing they may do, or so foolish as to oppose it because of the source from which it emenates. While we opposed the election of Grant to the Prcsiden- cy we shall not fail to support him in the administration of government so long as his policy accords with our views of right; but in every instance we shall rebuke extravaganza and war without cessation upon all measures of the ruling party that to ns seem unfair or unconstitutional. Just at this time, however, we have more to do than en- gage in political disputes or party wranglings. Our State, young and new as she is, stands but upon the threshold of the glory that will and must be hers in the futuro; and to the press as well as to individuals belong the work of developing her resources and lifting her into that place which is properly hers amongstthe States of the Union. In this work we trust we shall not be whit behind any journal of the State. Every measure ofa local or im- proving character. calculated to benefit us as a people, shall meet with our support, no matter who may be its au- thor. While we strive to do this, while We work for the goad of our State and people we hope for the sup port of those who have stood by us in the past.
