A Strange Controversy.

JACKSON Z. H., ONO, Dec. II, 1866.
Mr. MACKLEY-Sir; In the STANDARD of Dec.
6th, under the head OF Commissioners Report,
you inform our readers that the Prosecuting At.
torney gets an allowance for business in The Pro-
bate Court In last weeks issue you again bring
the subject before the public, by referring to what
| said tO YOU privately about IT, namely, that the
braln-lnm'her ought to attend to your case-and
10 support OF your position that the Prosecuting
Attorney Is entitled To such AN allowance, - you
refer Mr.. Hastings and his briin-turnishcr to
section II, act OF April 4, 1859, swan " Critchheld,
page l22i
IL must be well known that in Il controversy
with an editor IN his own paper the advantages
are all on the side OF hin who controls the me.
dlum by which both sides reach the public. In
view OF this would as Il general rule, prefer 10
submit to misrepresentat rathlr than seek re-
dress on lcrIlISso unequal. But our present con-
UoitlsH with me Is OF such remarkable chdruc-
tT, that am tempted lor this once tO depart from
the rule
Our present controversy, as YOU have presented
II IN the Standard, Is substantially this Whether
should receive more money, or you should have
more brains. You contend that | am entitled to
compensation under the law you refer 10, while
claim that am not. II must 6e admitted that
You charge AberaRy!
IL Is true that the law Of 1859 to which you
refer, did authorize the Probate Judge ~ make
the Prosecuting Attorney an allowance Us coul-
pensatlOn for services rendered in the Probate
Court. But also ind-Ond am sorry to say IL
that the law OF 1859 was repealed April 80, 1862
nearly three years before came into office, and
that the law Is not now In force
Mr.. Mackley If your head Is right, then Itoant
more money! But II have received all the none,
aIn entitled to, then goa need mOre brains and
care but little which way 1t is decided.

IMPARTIAL SVIrFRAGE.

The scheme Of Horace Greeley and
others, to let rebels vote in return for
letting negroes vote, does not take with
the press and people of this country.
1t is argued that if it is right to let
loyal negroes vote, that is no reason
why unhung and unrepentant rebels and
traitors should have the same privilege.
In other words, the people seem to
think that loyal negro is better than
white traitor. ...
1t will be long time before the people
of this nation permit traitors to rule in
the councils of the nation. The.idea of
State sovereignty is as firmly fixed in
the minds of the Democracy now, as at
any period before, or during the war.
Until this idea is abandoned it is unsafe
to intrust political power to the hands of
such party, and those who have for
feited all rights, by actual war, must be
disfranchised, although they may be less
guilty in moral point of view, than
that portion Of the party that never took
up arms for the destruction of the Gov
ernment. ...

NOT PRESIDENT.

For the sake of convenience, we
have been in the habit of calling An
drew Johnson President But he is
not President of the United States.
That Office is now vacant. BY an ex-
animation of Section l, Article 2, Of
the Constitution of the United States,
it will be seen that the Vice President
in certain contingencies, performs the
duties of President, but in no case can
a man become President of the United
States through the crime of the assas-
sination of the President.

THE DIFFERENCE,

To show our readers the difference
between the Radical members of Con-
gress and the Democrats, we publish
two little news items that appeared in
last Saturdays papers:
"Thlrty-one members of Congress organized o
prayer meeting Thursday night. Senator Foster
presided"
That shows the character of the des.
pissed radicals.
Here is how the virtuous Democratic
members amuse themselves:
"The New York Herald saws that Ben. Wood
State Senator, on Wednesday night won Of Hon.
John Norrisgey $40, 600 at faro"

ANOTHER FOOL DEAD.

We scarcely pass week without see-
ing an account Of some person being
shot through the careless handling of
firearms. The last is an account Of a
young man near Dedham, Mass. named
McGregor, who on Thanksgiving day,
undertook to show how easily person
could commit suicide. While showing
with his foot, near the trigger of his
gun, he touched it off, sending the load
into his body, aud causing instant death.
If all the fools who tinker with firearms
would kill themselves instead of others,
the world would be better of.

State News.

The Vinton Record says that some
person, not having the fear Of God be-
fore his eyes, but being moved and
Seduced by the instigation of the Devil,
broke into the Probate Office at that
place, and tore out and burned a large
portion Of the Journal of the Court.
The Circleville Democrat says that
the farmers in that vicinity paid from
ten to thirteen cents per pound for
stock hogs during the summer, and can
now get only five to six cents.

for the murder Of David Gray. Smith

-Bumgardner, who has been on

The Chillicothe Advertiser says that
a man named John Miles was run over
by a train near Londonderry Station on

that he died on Friday. He was lying
upon the track, and supposed to be
intoxicated.
The Perry County Weekly says that
alittle girl named Annie MOrehead sew
On or eight years Of age, was taken from

WHERE Is TIE "RuMP p,

Before the fall elections, the Congress
of the United States was called the
"Rump" by all the Democratic papers
Mr.. Johnson, the acting President,
treats Congress with great respect, and
now we do not see the word trump"
in any of our Democratic exchanges.
Why all this backing down? 1t has
been caused by the half million majority
against the rebels at the fall elections.

News of the Week.

A report has been telegraphed from
Europe that John Ii. Surratt had declar-
ed since his arrest, that the murder OF
President Lincoln was done with the
knowledge and consent of Jefferson
Davis. 1t is also said that ho threw out
some hints tending to throw some sus-
picion upon President johnson. Surrat
will not likely be credited unless cor
roborated by more honest persons than
himself
The "Immortal J. n" Free has
been visiting jeff Davis. The inter-
view between the traitor and the fool
was quite interesting. They agreed
pretty well, viewing the question OF
secession from each others stand point.
