POSTAGE ON THE STANDARD.

We understand that the Postmaster
at Hamden (Reed's MillsO is charging
postage on the Standard, when the sub
scribers reside in Jackson county. The
law allows all subscribers to weekly
paper, published in the county in which
the subscribers reside, to receive the
paper free, even if the Postoflice be in
another county, provided it be the office
where the subscriber receives his regu-
lar mail matter. We refer the Post
master to the Postoffice Laws and Regu-
e lations for 1866, page 33 Section 929.
If Postmasters continue to charge
this illegal postage, and our subscribers
will inform us, we will have the matter
attended to at Head Quarters.

sEHenry G. Rodgers, Esq OF Law

the 9th inst, aged 3S years. His es-
Unable wife, q daughter of the late
Rev. John Crawford, of Harmar, died
a few months ago. For many years
they were the neighbors and intimate
friends of the editor of this paper.
Both were kind hearted, amiable, and
greatly beloved by all. They began
life together on New Years, 1851, with
the fairest prospects, brilliant even
Mr. Rodgers was young man of pros
pective wealth-was then in very easy
circumstances had an unusual number
Of friends; began soon to become quite
infuentiali had a large and growing
business, Butt was all soon to "turn
to ashes" He became the victim of
intemperance. This writer, many a
time, talked with him and mourned
with him over hisinfrmity; but in spite
of his earnest protestations of reform
(not only to us but to many friends,) his
seeming determined resolutions often
made, ho went down-and his beloved
wife just before him-to an untimely
grave, the saddest wreck of life we have
ever personally known.
Mr.. Rodgers was representative in the
Legislature from Lawrence county,
l956-58. lie served two or three years
in the army, and was at one time Major
of the 4th Ohio Cavalry"

Cowan, and have secured another U. s.
Senator from Indiana in place Of the
Hon. Henry S. Lane, who declines re-
election. CThe U. S. Senators last
chosen from Pennsylvania and Indiana
were against us.
In Ohio, the Republican majorityis at
least 10 900 higher than last year. 1t is
considerably higher in Iowa. In Indi-
ana, the Republican majority is less than
in 1864, but far higher thanin any other
year.
In Pennsylvania, Gen. Geary's major
ity is larger than Gov. Curtin's in 1868,
when our entire majority was made up
of soldiers and clerks sent home from the
Union armies and from Washington to
vote. Our adversaries then claimed that
we coerced or changed the soldiers vote; ;
now, the soldiers are at home, and vote
as they see fit. Yet they vote as they
did when in the field; and, with the
offices and patronage of the Federal
Government turned against us, we have
gained strength in Congress.

HON. O. T.. MOORE.

We publish card written by this
gentleman, which is rather remarkable
in its character. The heading to the
article is due to the Ironton Register,
from which paper we take the article,
Col. Moore finds fault with the people
in a manner that is rather injustfabe
Col. Moore Is a gentleman of ability,
and he has hosts Of personal friends.
He served in tie army faithfully, and
he no doubt thought that the people,
and especially the soldiers, would sup
port him. Buthow sad was his mistake.
The people understand their own bust
ness The soldiers have been tried now
three several times. Gen. Mcclellan
could not get their votes for President,
Gen. Morgan could not get their votes
for Governor, and Col. Moore could not
get their votes for Congress. This is
Che highest evidence that the soldiers
are enlightened and true. They love
their commanders, and will follow them
in any legitimate and lawful way but
when these leaders attempt to take them
over to the support of those against
whom they fought, they refuse to follow.
We bad supposed that when the
people had decided against Mr.. Moore,
be would submit to their verdict But
il seems that he is not yet content, and
referto the matter because he
.hoescs t6rake it up again.

From the Portsmouth Times.
Letter from Col. Moore.

Editor THmes-At the close of the
most important political contest ever
witnessed in this country-unparalleled
by its ferocity, arrogance, talsehood,
deception and fraud-allow me 10 offer
my cordial thanks to the many true and
steadfast men of Democratic faith, and
the honest Johnson men, who stood by
me-and especially the many Germans,
and the universal brotherhood Of Irish
men in the District-who, turning from
the poison so increasingly poured into
their ears by my enemies, and foget-
ting past differences and even auimosi-
ties growing out of my past political
associations, so nobly supported me-
Such magnanimity and devotion can
never be forgotten, or fail to waken my
liveliest gratitude. While there is much
in the result of the election to cause de-
spondency among those who fought the
fight under the intelligent and sincere
belief that the future peace and stability
of our Government were involved in it,
and that upon the success Of the party
opposed to wild fanaticism depended
the maintenance OF Constitutional lib
erty and the form OF popular Govern
ment in this country; while it sickened
the hearts of the friends of free and
unrestricted ballot to see capital, and
those who employ labor by menace-by
indirect and stealthy appliances, and by
even open and palpable manipulation
influence and control labor and the en-
ploy in the exercise of the highest
privilege of freemen; while the church
is brought into contempt, and every
religious sentiment of our nature is out
ragged, to see the ministerial robe thrown
off, and the minister coming down from
his pulpit to take part in the wrangle
and strife of the meetings, and, by vir-
tue of his position as spiritual adviser,
lead to the polls members of his flock
there to dispose ballot to his own
dishonor and shame, because against
his fixed, lifelong and unchangeable
political convictions. Yet amid it all
there is a grandeur in the fact that
there are to be found so many who are
able to stand up against and proudly
resist all such disreputable and corrupt
ing intluences-so many of the "toiling
millions" who yet value their right to
vote above all prices-who can neither
be intimidated, overawed or driven,
coaxed, hoodwinked or bought-who
have the mandood to vote according to
their honest convictions OF right, even
if to do so shall cause those who pur-
chase their toll to scowl and threaten,
and even dismiss them from service. -
And while there yet remains so many
of these, let us not despair of the Re-
public. They may be in the minority
to-day, but there is moral force and
power about them that must, in the end,
control the destiny of the nation. Act
ing with them, as | am now, with
conscientious conviction of rectitude, l
shall abide by them, even if to do so
shall consign me forever to political
obscurity. o. Il. MOORE.

tain their ascendency. If there could
be a direct popular vote tomorrow of
all the electors of the United States the
Radicals would be sent into retirement
by majority somewhere (as we have
shown in the neighborhood of million.
Ii allthe States were represented in
Congress, even under our present Con-
stitutional organization, the Radicals
would have'but bare majority, and
would be, as against the veto of the
President, incapable of harm. 1t re-
suits from this that junction of the op-
ponents of the Jacobins North and
South seals their fate. They know this,
and hence their desperate struggle to
prevent it.
In taking this survey of the political
field, the question recurs: How long
eau this state of things last? How long
will three-ffths of the people suffer
themselves to be reduced to political
non-entity by two-fifths? In what
manner are they to assert their rights
and make the Government of the United
States one representing the wishes of a
majority of the people? Swift-coming
events may demand speedy practical
answer to these interrogatories.
1t is well for the Jacobins to bear in
mind, when they urge extreme meas
ures, that three-fifths of the people are
against them, and that in a contest of
physical force majority of a million
would be felt.

News of the Week.

There has been another election in
Nebraska, which has resulted in anoth-
er Union victory, and large Uni on
gain.
John Van Buren, died last week.
He had been to Scotland, and died two
days before the ship arrived in this
country. He was son of Martin Van
Buren, and was lawyer of some note.
As politician, he was noted for his
unreliable character. He acted with
the "Barn Burners" or anti-slavery
Democracy in lS48, but since that time
he mostly acted with the pro-slavery,
or rebel Democracy.
Henry Ward Beecher, who short
time ago was claimed by the copper
head Democracy, and whose sermons
have recently been published in the
New York World, has made another
speech, in which he tries to get back to
the radicals.
There was great fire in Quebec,
Canada, last week. 1t destroyed prop
erty to the amount of about three mil
lions of dollars, and left twenty thousand
people without houses.
AT the'recent election in Baltimore,
the radicals succeeded. The rebels are
not permitted to vote. 1t is now said
that the Governor, aided by President
johnson, will set aside the State law,
and permit the rebels to vote for men,
bers Of Congress. If this be done, the
radicals will resist the usurpation, and
then there will be war.
There is a rumor that Secretary
Stanton will resign, and that Gen. Sher-
man will take his place.
There was fearful boiler explosion
at st. Louis few days ago. 1t occur
red in turning shop. Two buildings
were torn to pieces, and twenty six per-
SONS killed and wounded.
The war in Mexico is still in prog
ress, The Liberals have fair prospects
of success.
The Fenans are again getting
ready for another movement. This time,
they will probably strike in ireland,
instead of Canada.
The Ohio State fair was held at
Dayton last week, and was a grand
success.
The ship Evening Star was lost In
astorm off the Southern coast a short
time ago. There were on board circus
company, and some eighty lewd women.
Nearly all were lost.

Ohio, who was rc-nominated, was re-
elected, except Deano, in the 18th Dis
trict. He was attacked with the soon.

WAR.

Before the election, the Democratic
papers threatened that if the Union
party succeeded, there would be another
war. Andrew johnson made the same
threat during his celebrated swing
around the circle.
We notice that the last number of the
Portsmouth Times repeats this threat,
and says that if President Johnson
should be impeached, there would be
war This shows the reverence these
constitution shrekers have for that in
strument. 1t is reported that Andrew
Johnson once used this language: "lf
you hear person prating about the
constitution, spot him he is a traitor"
Nothing could be truer than this. Ev-
cry rebel from Jeff Davis, down or up,
prates about the constitution. So does
every copperhead. So does every
"conserv Observation-Disclosures
man. But what regard have these men
for the constitution? There is no plain
er provision in that instrument than that
providing for the impeachment of the
President. Then why threaten war if
this provision OF the constitution should
be enforced7 But we might inquire
why war was threatened, and actually
begun, and waged for four years with
relentless cruelty and barbarity, because
President was elected in strict con-
formity with the provisions of the
constitutions But all this was done by
the Democratic party, and yet no one
regards the constitution but that party,
if the Democratic papers are to be be-
leved.
We hope and pray that President
Johnson may take warning by the result
Of the elections being held, and do no.
thing that may subject him to impeach-
ment But if he should be impeached,
it will be done in strict conformity to
that same constitution, and woe to the
party that makes war upon the consti-
tuted authorities of the Government.
These war papers threaten that three
millions of men will march to Washing
ton, and demand why President johnson
is impeached Now where does the
constitution give any authority to any
set of men to march to Washington and
overawe the Senate of the United States
while performing one of their highest
constitutional duties? But we have
heard this Democratic threat before.
1t. was made at the commencement of
the other Democratic rebellion. Two
hundred thousand Democrats were go
ing to stand in the way of the Union
troops marching to put down the rebel
armies. All the marching we know of,
was one young man from Jackson, and
one from Portsmouth, who joined the
rebel armies The balance of the
marching was done when a draft was
ordered, and the march was quick one,
and made to Canada.
We hope there may be no more war;
but if there is, let these brave editors
remember that "Beast Butler" yet lives,
and 80 does the same black army that
he commanded during the Democratic
rebellion. If treason once more raises
its guilty head, it will be made "odious"
for all time to come.
