The Richmond Telegraph makes
the following logical deductions. They
have the merit of ingenuity at least:
"There is a good deal of complaint about
Andrew Johnson deserving the party that
made him President and going over to the
Democracy. Let's see about this. The as
sassination of Lincoln made Johnson
President. The Democratic party assas-
sinated Lincoln. Is it not to that party,
then, that Mr.. Johnson is directly indebted
for his present position? When he for
sakes the party that elevated him to the
Presidential chair he will leave the allies
of Booth and eomeover to the Union party.

The Johnson State Convention.


Ihe Lafayette journal says:
"All of the four citizens of Lafayette
whose names were appended to the call for
State Convention declare that theyswere
not consulted in reference it, except Col
Fitzpatrick, who declares that he positively
declined the use of his name. This style of
getting up State Conventions is something
newt. h@sF6kta XII o y
Our friend ROSE made mistake by
inserting that clause in reference to
men having voted for LINCOLN and
JOHNSON in 1864. IF he had left that
out and put down the names of OBJ
scure copperheads to the call, not one
of them would have repudiated the
signatures, and all would have went
merry as a marriage bell. ad But GAR

what the South Fought for.

1.-THE South fought, and fought bravely,
for what she supposed to be her constitu-
tional rights, and was beaten in the con-
st."-Nes0 Orleans Times. ~A
The South was denied her rights in the
Union, and was threatened by the Repub-
licans with further and mere forcible de-
malls. The South then attempted to with
draw from the Union, and fought to
maintain her independence in the Union
The South had much greater wrongs to
complain of against the Republicans than
our revolutionary fathers had against
Great Britain Indianapolis Herald
The South was denied her rights
in the Unionl" When, and by whom?
If she was denied her rights in the
t Union, of course her attempt to with
draw from the Union was justifable,
and the Southern Rebellion was far
more righteous than the revolution
inaugurated by our fathers against the
oppression of Great Britain, because
the South had much greater wrongs
to complain of against the Republi-
cans than our revolutionary fathers
had against Great Britain" Thus
argues the organ of the Confederate
Democracy in this State. The logical
inference which it leaves for its read /
ers to make out for themselves is, that
our Government waged an unjust war
against the South, and that our sol !
diers were murderers and robbers in |
compelling an innocent people to sub |
NIT to an odious despotism. We do
not think our soldiers will feel very |
highly honored by the Heralds logic. |
They are, however, accustomed to its
ISLANDERS and abuse, and no doubt feel
FOR it only that contempt which its
reasonable conduct naturally calls
forth.
CONSIDERABLE discussion has taken
place between the friends of General
SHERMAN and WADE HAMPTON, as to
which of these officers was response
BILE for the burning of Columbia, the
capital of South Carolina. The edi-
tor of the Indianapolis Herald rushes
to the assistance of HAMPTON, the
Confederate General, and volunteers
its evidence as to what he overheard
in conversation between two Union
soldiers, relative to what they did
while connected with SHERsIAN's ar
my in its passage through South Car
olinia; how they were instructed to
burn and destroy, and how faithfully
they executed the orders of their Off
GERS. This Judge PERKINS evidently
designs to strengthen HAMPToN's
cause On the other hand, we find an
affidavit in the New York Post, made
by VIM. B. NASH, of Columbia, set
ting forth that he saw the South Car
DINA depot building burning before
SHERMAN's army entered the city. He
also saw cotton burning, and saw the
Icorpses of persons killed by the ex-
plosions at the depot. As NASH had
better opportunities for seeing what
was going on about the time of the in
vasion, in South Carolina proud cap
ital, we rather think his evidence will
take precedence over that Of Indiana's
venerable, ex-Judge of the Supreme
Court. We would believe the Judge,
however, in preference to NASH, on
any question (as to how large IAN
amount Of real estate can be accumu-
lated ina few years outof very small
salary in addition to supporting large

BY THE EDITOR.

When any change Is made in the publication Of
q paper--the end of volume, the accession of a
new editor, oran enlargement, it Is suitable time
to review the past, and indicate what may be the
future course thought to be pursued. The STAN
dard has now been published well on to twenty
years. 1t has been owned and edited by many
persons and large part Of the time it has been In
rather poor condition financially. II has had to
ask voluntary contributions to keep the breath of
life in it. When the establishment was DESTROYED
by Morgans army July Is, 1868, the leading Dem
ocrats Of jackson clapped their hands, wagged
their heads, and danced for joy. The establish
ment was owned in equal parts by Mr.. Tripp and
myself / thought at that time that Mr. Trip
was a little discouraged, so l made an arrange
ment with him by which became the sole owner
Of the establishment paid out about seven hun
dred dollars for new material, and the publication
of the paper was again commenced, September g.
1868. The people noby came to my assistance.
/ received several hundred dollars on subscription
from soldiers in the Union army within six
months. l can never forget this. May God bless
side,
Since the commencement Of the paper by my
self, have neyerhad to complain of Its financial
condition. have been able to pay all my printers
promptly in cash, as they can testify The paper
is now paying its way, and something more. 1t
Is established upon firm basis, and if the people
patronize it in the future as in the past, it will live
as long us do, at least. But have rough way
of saying what think, which does not suit every
body
1t is claimed by some that party paper ought
to support all the measures of the party, whether
those measures be right or wrong. | claim that
it always pays to do right. 10 succeed, party
ought to deserve success. The Democratic party
had a majority in jackson county, in 1866, of near
ly four hundred The next year the party started
n party organ and in seven years the party and
the paper both died miserable DEATH At that
time the party was in a minority of from four to
seven hundred. | support the Union party be-
cause believe its principles to be right. have
been an abotionst since the year 1870, and / am
perhaps more radical than the majority of the
present Union party. That is the reason why do
not want the Union party to be held responsible
for all say.
The STANDARD will continue to advocate the ma.
terial interests of jackson county, and the cause
of temperance morality and religion, will always
find it earnest in their support. Its columns sha
always be open to those with whom differ, and
| am always pleased to have my opponents heard
by the people. d. NJ.

CASE OF DIR. DORSEY.

Our readers will remember that G.
Volney Dorsey, while Treasurer of
State, was accused of having violated
the law by tampering with the public
funds. He was put out of Office, and
held to answer criminal prosecution.
Mr.. Dorsey had always been a Demo
crat until the party rebelled, when he
remained true to his former opinions,
and Of course was loyal. He was then
elected State Treasurer by the Union
party, Wren there was a suspicion of
dishonesty on the part of the Treasurer,
the Union Governor at once took meas
dres to secure the public funds, and ex-
posed the whole matter At once the
entire copperhead press, and copper
head party, raised a general howl
against DR.. Dorsey, and the entire
Union party, charging them with fraud
and dishonesty. Well, the conclusion
of the whole matter is, that the grand
jury of Franklin county have just
adjourned, without finding any indict-
ment against DIR. Dorsey, thus saying
under oath, that the Doctor had not
violated the law. Franklin county is
very largely Democratic in nearly or
quite all of the townships, and of course
the Trustees would select grand jurors
who were not too radical Now If
those Democratic papers that have
published SO much against the Union
State Treasurer had spark of honesty
or fairness remaining, they would
publish the fact Of his Innocence. But
they will not do it.

CHRISTIAN HUMILITY.

1t is laid down ia the good Book, that
humility is one Of the best marks of the
Christian character. The Publican that
put up his humble prayer went away
justified rather than the proud Pharisee.
He that exaIteth himself shall be abased,
and he that humeleth himself shall be
exalted, &c. These doctrines are taught
throughout the old and new Testaments.
The most marked case of humility is
that exhibited by the Democratic party.
1t is urgently and earnestly claimed by
this party, that the negro race is inferior
to the white race This is admitted by
all. We do not denyit, Whether this
inferiority is caused by the circumstan-
ces in which the two races have been
placed, or whether it is caused by an in
herent defect in the physical organiza-
ton, behind and independent Of circum-
stances and opportunities, it is not now
necessary to inquire, 1t is an admitted
fact that all Africans, and all mixed ra-
ces, having African blood, are, as a gen.
eral rule, inferior to the white races
True, there are exceptions in individual
cases.
The Democratic party declares that it
cannot compete, in fair race, with the
negroes. The party asks that the ne
groes be put under bonds that they will
not become the equals Of the Democrats
They declare that if the negroes are not
kept down by oppressive laws, that they,
(the DemoCrats,) cannot compete with
them in the race of life. To this end
they are violently opposed to the Civil
Rights Bill, which only gives the ne
groes the simple justice that is extended
to the Democrats. They are very
much in favor of laws prohibiting ne
groes and whites intermarrying. The
Union men are not afraid Of negroes
getting ahead Of them They ask no
legal disabilities to be imposed upon ne
groes, and feel fully warranted in the
belief that their superiority over the ne
gro race will always render it safe to give
the inferior race fair play.
The case may be summed up thus:
The white race, as whole, is superior
to the negro race. The Democrats ad-
nit, by their oppressive laws, that the
negro race is superior to them, aud will
overcome them, if fair play is extended
to them. Then what relation must the
Democrats bear to the white race in gen
eral. 1t is one of vast inferiority.
This acknowledgment of inferiority
is the acme of Christian humility. Let
no one hereafter charge that the Demo
cratic party is not the very pink of hu.
mility.
