Of the feeling in <) 11i<* in favor of the nomination of Secretary Sherman for the Presidency the Columbus (O.) State Journal (Hep.) remarks; " It is unquestionably true that at the present time, at least, John Sherman is tlie first choice of a large majority (per haps four-fifths) of the Republican voters of Ohio for President, and that if nomi nated he will receive the solid Republican vote, together with a larger Democratic vote than has ever been east for an}' He publican since the organization of the party. Why. therefore, should there be a doubt or question as to the propriety of sending a solid Sherman delegation to the National Convention?" Secretary Sclmrz prints an article in the Independent in reply to Colonel Kem ble's statements about the removal of the Polled Indians, lie shows that the re moval of the Indians was ordered before President Hayes and Cabinet came into otllcc, and that he directed special atten tion to their hardships in his first annual report. He says, further: " I desire to add here that personal ob servation luis convinced me that the lands on their present location are better for agricultural and grazing purposes than on their old reservation, and that they are now far better boused and more com pletely furnished with agricultural imple ments and other appliances of civiliza tion." li Women in Kansas," says a corres pondent of the Millwaukee (Wis.) .Vetrs, " have the privilege of voting in all mat ters pertaining to schools. As far as ob servation goes the ladies have minds of their own. They neither vote for the handsomest men nor the ones their hus bands tell them to vote for unless the candidate is, in their opinion, the proper one. Their votes cannot he bought. They are universally on the side of mo rality and temperance: hence the workers in the temperance cause are warm advo cates of equal suffrage. Election days pass quietlv. The enrolling clerks of the l egislature are ladies, also a large pro portion of County Superintendents, who, in every instance, discharge their duties in a manner that gives universal satis faction." it, is a curious fact that just as this Government is entering oil a war with lotteries and their promoters, certainly an act of extreme wisdom, whatever may be the legal technical difficulties in the way of its execution, the French Government has authorized the promoters of the Paris lottery to double their capital and issue four instead of two million tickets in the same. It was the results deduced Iroiji the experience of France and other for eign' countries in the iniquitous influence of lotteries on the people that led this Government to firmly set against then), and now that this, the greater Re public, has first begun to protect the peo ple, it is significant "that the French are once more giving way to the seductive iniquity of games of chance. The Democratic organs of Virginia are In great danger of exploding with excess of indignation, and are frantically calling upon faithful Democrats to aid in blasting the reputation of lifty-tlve " black-listed ' Democratic members of the legislature. The Kichinond Ntatcx, the leading Dour boa organ of Virginia, prints the names of the obnoxious fifty-five in black letters, enclosed with a heavy black border, and demands that every one of the members whose names appear in the list shall be proscribed, politically and socially, b\ every true Virginiuan. The crime of these tifty-tlvo wretched legislators con sists in having voted for a "nigger" for a petty State ofllce, when his competitor was "a gallant one-legged Stonewall Jackson Confederate soldier." It ifr ap parent that things are not altogether harmonious among the Virginia Democ racy. The colored man in question was | elected, hence the disturbance. A Word With My ( 'iistomers.
