Official Prescription.

We cannot realize that he who was made Presi-
dent of the United States by the pistol of Wilkes
Booth has any moral right to remove from office
those who helped make him Vlce-President, in
order to fill their places with Copperheads and
eX-Rebcs. Even II 1t were clear-which it surely
is not-that Presidents may justh0bly remove
rom Office those who opposed their election, In
order to appoint those who supported 1t, VIC
consider Mr.. Johnsons case very different from
that, and we deny his right to remove those who
helped him TO office in order to appoint instead
those who reyiled him rs one of the worst of
mankind. Hence we think 1t right In Congress to
do all In Its power to save Republicans In Office
from prescription, g..
Having done that, we neither fear nor deprecate
his action in the premises so far as 1t NAV be ex-
pected to exert political influence. If he should
tomorrow remove every Republican office-h0lder
within his reach, and appoint instead Randallites
and Rebel sympathizers, we believe he would
strengthen the party thus prescribed Our friends
in office are very quiet and reticent Kick them
out and they will be lively as skinned eels In hot
vinegar. Witness the following:

JUDGE NASH.

More than o year ago we published
what purported to be an argument made
by Judge Nash in one of the Virginia
courts, in which he came out in favor of
the rebels. Judge Nash wrote to. us
that it was q libel-that he had never
said what was attributed to him. lie
promised us a statement of the facts, but
by misunderstanding we never recev-
cd it. Some weeks ago we said we
could not support him for Congress
We have been shown q letter from him,
in which ho again denies the rebel
speech.
Now he did not say what is charged
against him, we have nothing against
him, as we admit his talents to be infe-
rior to no man in the District.
We have again written to Judge
Nash, and if convinced that he has been
slandered, we shall hasten to do him
justice, as he has always been man
whom we admired and respected.

l said last week that had an object in writing
about two or three matters that occurred long
ago. have received private letter from one of

that she aud her family read my articles with deep

hardships. She is evidently proud Of her boy.

the encouragement Of such, wrote what did, il
being all true.
| On the other hand, l received one Of my ex-
changes edited by a rebel. who sneerngly refer

silly twaddle with pencil, and wrote Insulting

one of them, whip five northern men; who got
up the late rebellion; who, when whipped into

the county, and that the Welsh aimed to get two

The acknowledgements Case.

The action of the Rump House of Representa-
tives in the GrinnelllRousseau case is worthy O
that body. Mr.. Grinnell Il blatant radical from
Iowa, made an supplementary, violent, dis
graceful personal assault upon the character Of
General Rousseau, of Kentucky. The language
used was that of a vile blackguard, and, if uttered
to a gentleman in any other place, would have
undoubtedly led to personal castigation, inflicted
upon the spot General Rousseau, who respected
the dignity of body which itself had no dignity,
passed the matter over in silence at the time.
Atterward, when Congress was not in session, he
met his defamer upon the street, and dealt him a
few blows with light rattan cane, that inflicted no
personal injury, but caused personal disgrace.
To these blows Grinnell submitted with the
meekness of lamb
The matter was now transferred to the House.
To the astOnishment of those who did not realize
to the full extent the base materials that compose
the Rump, that body brought the matter up,
appointed an investigating committee, and, after
a great deal of fuss and examination, passed a
vote Of censure upon Rousseau, and refused to
censure in any manner Grinnell for violating the
rules Of debate by personal defamation and
abuse. In other words 1t authorizes blackguards
to pour out their datribes within its walls; to
scNndalize with low vulgarity their brother MEM
bcrs In all this it sees nothing deserving of
censure or reproach. 1t can only find the latter
in the victims of the defamation, who when Con-
gress is not in session, call their sanderers to
personal account This, we repeat, Is worthy of
the Rump, but no other deliberatve body upon
the globe would have been guilty of such an
outrage.
General Rousseau, of course, has resigned, and
will be- we predict, unanimously reelected BY his
constituents. Cincinnati Enquirer.
The speech of Mr. Wilson, of Iowa,
showed conclusively that Mr. Grinnell
was justified in all he said, and the
House acted accordingly. Grinnel said
Rousseau was coward. The country
was inclined to disbeleve this charge,
until Rousseau proved its truth. Rous-
seau IS large man, and Grinnell a
small man. Rousseau armed himself
with club, politely called a cane. He
took three more ruAians with him, who
were armed with revolvers They
watched Grinnell for four days, until
they caught him away from any friends,
when the big bully fell on him with his
club, while the three others stood by
with their revolvers. And this, says the
Enquirer, caused the personal disgrace"
of Grinnell. 1t was bravery and chiv-
airy on the part of Rousseau, as viewed
by the woman whipping, baby stealing
Democracy.

GIVE MIM A KICK

CS. Confederate States) Monahan,
thus speaks of James Burchfeld Esq,
whose son was slaughtered in the late
Democratic convention, because he had
been a soldier.
The Convention passed Of harmonlously. We
found but one man that was dissatisfied, and he
was not able TO tell us the cause of his dlssats-
faction. lie claimed that we Ind said that one OF
the candidates was too good Democrat 10 20 In
the army, We recollect Of SAYING something of
the kind by the way of q Joke, without any inten-
tlon OF casting q slur upon any soldier We have
the highest respect for the soldiers that maintain
ed their Democratic principles through the fierce
and bitter warfare against those national principles
that none should be ashamed Of We think fthe
gentleman Is very much offended at our remarks
he had better go over to the Abolition party whore
they dcnounce all soldiers as traitors who dares to
vote the Democratic ticket. He might find some
solace to his distracted nerves, with party that
had his son received the nomination would have
set up a universal howl Of TRAITORS, "Robol sym-
pathizors," "Copperheads, &C., uotwithstand-
Ing he had served his country as n soldier. We
opne that the gentleman will bc heartily ashamed
OF his conduct when he duly considers the sub
Ject. II he Is not, the sooner he goes over to the
opposite party the better for himself aud the party
to which he processes TO belong.

RAYMONn,S N.ETrER,

We call attention to the startling letter from
Mr. Reymond on our first page, taken from thu
New York Times He has long been closel,
Identified with the INTERVALS and Is well acauaint
ed with Sheir bloody designs, from which he
shrinks back In horror. The Infelnals are de-
-termined to hold power even at the expense Of
another civh wal which will desolate every house.
hold in the land. lf they attempt it, they will
find II different affair FROM the last war. They
will be driven into the Potomac or su pended as
ornaments to lamp posts about Washington in
twenty-four hours after they commence their
rebellion.-ChiAicothe A4rertiSer.
II. j. Raymond was elected to Con-
gress by the Republicans of New York
City, lie has turned traitor to the
party that elected him. Because Con-
gress proposed to distribute the national
arms among the loyal States, instead of
giving them all into the hands Of rebels,
as Buchanan did, this howl is raised
We have become used to threats of war
and devastation by copperheads. We
have heard this story before, about
driving Union men into the Potomac,
and about one chivalry whipping FIVE
Yankees. We think if the rebel Dem
ocracy had any modesty, they would
stop this game of brag, after the sound
drubbing they received from the
Yankees.
Now let us whisper word into the
ear Of the Advertiser If you get up
the war you are now threatning, the
negroes will be let loose upon you, and
before you are through with it, you
will have realizing sense of what ne
gro equality really means We admit
that if you commence another Demo-
cratic war, it will be no child's play, but
fyou are determined to go in once
more, just try it on, will you7

SAMUEL HI. SWIFT.

We owe this gentleman an apology
for not stating that he was candidate
for Clerk, before the Democratic county
convention. His name was announced,
and then withdrawn, amid some noise
and confusion,
Mr.. Swift is clerk at the Depot in
this place, and is worthy young man,
and would have made a good Clerk of
the Court. But he was a soldier in that
fighting regiment, the 7th Ohio Caval-
ry. That is what did the business for
him. But we mnst say, that the DEM
ocracy of jackson county are acting
consistently. They opposed the war,
abused and vilified Union soldiers, and
now they kick them out of their con-
ventions That is right Union SOL
diers have no business among their
enemies.

must be in favor of hanging those who

JACKSON G. H., ONO, July 50, 1866.
EDITOR STANDARD-Deur Sir:
DR.. |. r. Monahan of the jackson Times, ex-
pressed his opinion on the day of the Democratic
nominations that Enoch Morgan, candidate for
Clerk of the Court, Twas too damned good q Dem
ocrat to have been in the army" Does he sup
pose that those who were Democrats before the
war, and Democrats yet, can take such language
as joker | suppose he thinks because man
was u soldier, and went into the army voluntarily,
and supported the war policy of the President,
and did not vote for Valandlgham, is unfit to hold
any Office of trust in this or any other county.
How Is 1t DR.. Monahan2 When you told Mr.
Burchhed that Mr.. Morgan '',cas too damned good
q Democrat 10 hare been IN the UNION army" what
did you mean9 When Captain Perry asked you
in the presence of Mr.. Burchheld if you had made
use of such language, why did you so emphatcNlly
deny it2 And when Burchfeld told you that you
had said so, you then owned the corn, and said
you might have said it by way of joke; such
jokes won't win DR.. There are too many true
men, who have been soldiers In this county, who
have faced Just such men as YOU are, for four long
years in battle and they will not turn their faces
now when theiI votes are wanted.
You say you honor man who was a Democrat
before the war, and retains his sentiments yet
Who do you meNn9 Do you honor him to get
his vote? Yes, that is 1t exactly. If there was
any possible chance for u Democrat to be elected
TO any OF the county offices, would you nominate
and vote for soldier2 nary once, but you would
do all you could against him. 1 venture to assert,
il the time comes when the Democrats can elect
their men to office, and soldier would ask for the
nomination, that Won would not vote for him. only
for the simple reason that he had been Lincoln
hreling (soldier.) But should a deserter or a
man who had left the country to avoid the draft,
ask for office, you would be his main supporter.
When say you, do not mean the Democratic
party by any MEANS for there are men in the party
who are gentlemen in every respect, and would
not he guilty Of using any unfair means or foul
slang to secure the election of their nominees.
Well Dr., II you are to be the mouthpiece of the
Democracy of this county, you had better know
when, and what to say; you have little too much
gab. You had better 20 slow, and learn to peddle
anything else besides SOLDIERS VorEs.
