The jury retired at ten minutes past four,
and the Crown officers not being willing to
commence any other trial, at that advanced
hour, business was suspended, and his Lord
ship, the counsel and the public awaited the
return of the jury for an hour and twenty
five minutes. The Court remained crowded
during the entire period, scarcely any one
moving from their places, as the jury might
come in at any moment. During the interval
the prisoner, like the rest, chatted freely with
his counsel, the Sheriff and some others who
went to the dock to converse with bin.

THE UNION PARTY.

The copperhead Democracy of jack
son county is very anxious that tenn
perance issue, or Methodist issue, be
got up in this county. Now we are
called fanatic upon the subject of tenn
perance Very well. That has nothing
in the world to do with tho treason of
the Democratic party, or the patriotism
Of the Union party. A man may sell or
drink whisky, or both, and yet not be q
rebel and traitor. A mans principles,
or his practice, on the liquor question,
has nothing in the world to do with his
political principles. We have seen SOL
diers-good soldiers-patriotic Union
soldiers, drunk. We regretted this,
and for their good, desired that liquor
should not be sold to them in violation
Of law, But this had nothing to do
with the Unionism of the soldiers, or
those who sold them liquor.
A majority of the liquor sellers of
Jackson vote with us day, and all the
controversy that we have had upon the
liquor question has been with members
of our own party. Oh no gentlemen
copperheads. We propose to fight you
upon the old line, and leave all side is
sues to be settled in another way. We
propose to conquer you with temper

rufiians, Christians, including Metho-

native born Americans, Dutch, Welsh,
and even some Irish. We do not pro-
pose to bring "niggers" against you in
this campaign, as we think we have
enough white men. We know that
even the despised negro was your full
pattern in the late rebellion, unless all
the officers who led negro troops
against Democratic rebels, lied. Blu,
we propose to hold the negro forces in

belliou.

For the Standard.


Perhaps everybody has a hobby of
some kind, great or small, which he
rides more or less. Some have two or
more, for variety. We are apt to have
theories for the regulation Of our own
lives, and the lives of others. Hobbies
are pet theories. Some people never
seem to have any plans; some form
plans and execute them immediately
and the plans of others are chronic.
Some men are characterized by null
tiplicity of notions others are known
by the constant revolving of one idea
recognized by their hobbies. If the one
idea be a good one, if society be slow
or stubborn to believe it, if it is an idea
necessary to right action, call it hobby,
Or what you will, the man is brave-to
say the least--who persists in endeavor-
ing to promulgate it despite opposition
Say that he is fifty years ahead of the
times, if you will but let him have the
satisfaction of being a prophet, if he
likes it. Somebody will fulfill the
prophesy of his idea when the right
time does come.
Old John Brown may have been a
lunatici he may not have been as wise
as the governor who hung him with
such parade; he had the wrong plan for
effecting his object but the idea that
was constantly revolving in his mind
the idea of our country's redemption
from the bondage of a cursed institu-
tion-though it might have been realized
in manner different than it has been
the idea, we say is not dishonorable
to a sane mind We do not call it any
body's hobby now is is an accomplished
fact, Even if bloody war-the saddest
supplement to the conflict of ideas--had
not come, the redemption would have
wrought out in more natural way, in
time, though longer time. Mems hob
bies are not unfrequently the death Of
them.
Our illustration will be displeasing to
some for it hints Of a. certain hobby
on which certain chivalrous ones rode
out to battle in the nineteenth century
in land half free. The great difficulty
with them was that their hobby was
slow-immeasurably behind the age
a relic of barbarism. Not all old things
are badi but to make hobby of an old,
bad thing, is peculiarly dangerous, it
exposes it to surer destruction.
On the other hand, it is sometimes
necessary to make hobby out of new,
good thing. Thus, many of the most
useful inventions have once struggled
for existence among men as the hobbies
of crack-brained enthusiasts. And such
projects as erial navigation and peace
congresses or world-congresses, now
called hobbies in tho lowest sense Of the

term, may possibly become practical
realities; while theories that would now
be considered the conceptions of mad
men may in turn be denominated hob
bies, and then be familiarly known as
practical realities. Hobbies help not q
little toward pulling the world along.
y We would not indulge in q general
TRADE against hobbies We insist that
to effect some good results there must
sometimes be persistant-to some, per-
haps, wearisome, effort-and those who
will make such effort will not fail to
meet with opposition from others whose
hobby is, in turn, to style hobby every
opinion which has been repeated until It
becomes familiar. We protest against
that cheap method of bringing into con-
tempt, by denouncing as hobbies, those
theories which, reduced to practice,
make the lives Of men good, beautiful
and true for is not "a thing of beauty
a joy forever 2" I 4 z u 4 n ii (! 7t
We have noticed several species and
varities of hobbies to which society is
exposed and their owners would be
surprised, perhaps, to learn-if they
could be convinced-how annoying they
are to their neighbors. Some of them
are rough-shod and hurt pedestrians who
can not get out of the way; aud we
will not attempt to enumerate all the
capers of others. The name of one
mans hobby is "My Policy" He can
not dismount long enough to see wheth-
er there are any other policies in the
world or not. We do not say that we
have any serious objection to this mans
hobby. We think, indeed, that his cn-
emies may have assailed him too fierce.
ly, that many of them may not under
stand him; but his manner of riding the
hobby annoys u.s. Heis a careless kind
of fellow, who jerks his reins spas
medically. We think there are not q
few fellows riding into authority on
hobbies each named "My Country"
Now that the country is right side up
again, many hobbies that were confused
by circumstances are getting on their
feet again. r.Ia-.
Men are riding hobbies of all kinds,
good, bad, and Indifferent, into the
church, the state, and the social circle.
1t will be done--it cannot be helped.
Our only relief is to make the best dis
tinction that we can. Let men have
their hobbies, if they will; we only
think that it should occur to their minds
occasionally that the right to hare, and
the right to force upon others are not
identical. All, friend your theory may
be beautiful as you say it is; it may bo
strange that the world does not appreci-
ate it; it may be worthy of universal
application; it may, if applied to the
mass of men, transform the earth into
paradise; it may be all that you con-
ceive it to be. But can't you take a
little rest7 If your theory is so good,
will it spoil while you occasionally
change the subject! How would you
like to have any one talk to you, contin-
ually, about hobbies and nothing else?
We will change the subject; for our
heart is not set on convincing you,
