JUDGE sTEVENsON'S RECORD.

During Judge Stevenson's term Of
Office, as Probate Judge, he made GER
tain records, which are public property,
and which we propose to examine. He
appointed Mr.. Reuben Dickson, guar
dian Of Margaret Yeager. We copy
his record from page Is, of Journal B.

This day appeared in open Court
Margaret Yearaun aged IL years on the
22 day of July A d 1850 minor daugh-
ter of Christian Yeager Deceased and

Saturday July 98th 1860 Ruben
Dickson guardian of Margaret Yearen
This day Ruben Dickson guardian
of Margaret yaren filed his accounts &
vouchers for settlement in this court
which will be heard and examined on
the 18th day of August 1860"
On the 18th day of August, when
this account should have been heard,
we find, on page 10 Of Journal Il, the
following entry: .
"Saturday August 10th 1860 In the
matters Margaret Yearen an Orphent
This day Appeared in open court
Margaret Yearen 12 years on the 99d
day of July 1860 orphent daughter of

court approving the choice it is ordered
that said guardian give bond in the sum
of Twenty five Hundred dollars Thorn
as B. Dickson Charles S. Dickson &
John Miliken as surties conditioned ac-
cording to law and thereupon the said
Ruben Dickson appeared in open court
and accelted said appointment and gave
bond accordingly"
Now here were two attempts to ap-
point guardian for some one. The day
the first appointment was made, an ac-
count was filed. When that account
should have been heard, the guardian
was again appointed, and we never hear
anything more of the account. What
are such records worth7

BEHIND THE TIMES.

The Cincinnati Gazette is an excellent
paper, but something is wrong with it.
Mr.. Wilson was nominated for Congress
on the 9th of August, and the proceed
ings were published in all the Union
papers in the District. On the path,
the Gazette stated that no nomination
had been made in the ! lth District.
On Monday last, the Gazette admitted
Mr.. Wilson's nomination, but had bis
name Jas. L. Wilson, instead of John
I. Wilson. .... ...
1t also had Mr.. Bundy's name Henry
S., instead of Hezekiah s. Bundy.
In the same number of the Gazette,
in an editorial, we find the following
"On the first Tuesday (2d) of October Ohio,
Pennsylvania, Indiana aud Iowa will hold their
elections. The election In Georgia will take place
on the next day, October 3d."
We thought every school boy ten
years old, in Ohio, knew that the annual
election in this State takes place on the
second Tuesday in October, instead Of
the first, which this year will be the 9th
day of the month instead of the I'd.

MOSES.

We do not mean the modern Moses,
but the Moses described in the second
chapter of Exodus. We understand
that one of our esteemed Welsh friends
is disposed to follow the new Moses,
for the sake of petty Office. We wish
to show him the different modes in which
slave holders were treated by that Moses
and this. And we give it in Welsh:
II A A bu yn y dyddiau hynny, pan acth Moses

But our Moses, instead of staying the
slave holder, and hiding him in the
sand, desires him to take control Of the
Government which he fought four years
to overthrow.

RANDOM THOUGHTS No. sS.
BY THE EDITOR.

Ihear that one of my lady Ireadcrs at Portland
objected to something that appeared in the Stan
dard few weeks ago. suppose II was o selected
article, on the subject Of fitting hoops l do not
wish to object to ladys fashions, because they are
generally neat and appropriate. Hoops are beau
tiful, and hope they may never go out of fashion
during my time But are not the filters q little
too much, (or rather not enough) of good thing2
And by the way, what about certain style of
head dress that see now quite frequenty2 1t is
fiat piece of straw work, about six inches in d.
ameter. 1t is bent down little before and be-
hind and at the two sides, and woman who has
the amount Of brain that was intended as the av.
erage, cannot cover the top of her head with 1t.
What Is the use of such q thing? see many
women with broad brimmed hats. These are
useful and becoming.
Lam the friend Of the women, and If / had my
way, they all should have vote. l am opposed
to drunken, worthless oafer who pays no taxes,
voting to make laws that tax intelligent women,
and to sit on jurcs to try women for violations of
laws in the enactment of which they had no
voice.
And mems fashions are just as absurd as those
of women. When was boy the young men
wore ruflied shirts, the bosoms of which much re-
sembled the large intestines of hog. / had been
thinking of writing something upon this subject
but was afraid that my young friends would not
believe me, when, behold, the other day, / met a
man with rufled shirt l thought that he was
joking, but / afterwards saw some of these shirts
for sale in one of the stores. This is most rdic-
ulous fashion. And then the sugar loaf hats that
are worn this summer are rich. The brim is just
one inch and quarter wide, and the crown runs
up great ways, in kind of peak.

noticed man with one of these fashionable
hats on his head. lie sat upon one seat, and had
his feet upon another. He was reading novel,
We all sat upon the shady side Of the car, as the
morning sun shone into the car with great warmth
We occupied all the seats upon the shady side
At one station a neat, plainly, but well dressed
woman came in, having two small children with
her. She looked anxiously for seat upon tht
shady side. My friend with the peaked hat stared
at her. She reluctantly took seat in the sun
shine. Seeing that my friend with the peaked ho
did not intend to yield one of his seats, l got VI
and gave the lady my seat. Her kind and CRATE

COM. PLEAS JUDGE.

Some of our friends did not under
stand our article last week IN reference
to this matter. The attorneys of Jack
son desired to unite upon one Of their
number for Judge, regardless of politics.
If Mr.. DUNCAN had run as Judge Ply
ley is doing, without party nomina-
ton, many would have overlooked his
past political record, and voted for him
upon local grounds. But Mr.. DUNCAN
is put up as the coppcrhead candidate,
by party convention, and no Union
man can now vote for him without
stultifying himself. '.".
This is why we said that the attor-
neys of Jackson failed to get one Of
their own number to run for Judge
They could not get him to run so that
all parties could support him.

MA. mOORE,s RECORD.

Up to the year 1883, Hon. o. F.
Moore acted with the Wing party.
Then he was Know-nothing for few
months, then Republican until after
be was elected to Congress. Then he
turned Know-pothing again, andran on
that ticket for Congress, IN 1856, and
received only few hundred votes in
the District. In 1853 there was Re-
publican convention at the City Hall in
Portsmouth, and a Know-nothing con-
vention at Massie Hall, Portsmouth, on
the same day. Both united, and Carey
A. Trimble was nominated for Con-
gress by the united conventions. Mr..
Moore. was the leader at the Know
nothing convention, and he consented
to the Union, and afterwards supported
Mr.. Trlmble for Congress. We were
at these conventions, and know what
we state tobe true. In 1860 Mr.. Moore
had again left the Republican party, and
voted for Bell and Everett. When the
war broke out Mr.. Moore went into the
war as 1t. Colonel of the SD Regiment
Col. Sill being Colonel. Mr.. Moore
fought bravely, being wounded in bat
tie, and we believe taken prisoner. AL
at once he discovered that this was
nigger war, and his health having fail
ed, he resigned and came home a cop
perhead.
If Mr.. Moore should be elected t
Congress, he would as likely act will

been a Democrat fully as long as he ha
ever belonged to any other party. Bu

THE MuRDER.

At Christmas and New Years time, Frery
went for many days on n spree, in the course Of
which he lost considerable money. SOured by
this, MS he himself says, he kept on drinking
deeper and deeper, until, when at last he became
sober, he was Informed that he had killed Harry
Lazarus.
The manner Of the killing was this At about
o'clock in the morning of the 81 of january,
1865 three men in n sleigh, driven by fourth,
came to the door of Harry Lazarus place. Leav-
Ing the driver with his horses the threc-whO
were Bernard Frlery, James Mcdonald and James
Clark-entered the saloon After a few words,
Mcdonald made the boast that he'd got man
there who could ''lick any man in the house"
This was addressed to Lazarus, who, seeing
the object of the men, tried TO avoid quarrel
The words were repeated, with others more in
sulting and offensive, until at last Lazarus said
well, | can fght-Im no coward" At these
words Friery came up, and, in drunkards s maud
lin way. drawled ont, Yes Harry, you're pretty
good little man !" then, throwing his arm about
the neck of Lazarus, he stabbed him deeply in the
neck severlng the carOrid artery and causing
death in about two minutes. There was no strug-
gle or grOan, scarcely breath. Lazarus fell to
the floor, and was dead before the murderer could
leave the room. As they went out, Frlcry again
drawled out, "YGs Harry, you're q pretty good
little man. but guess I've fixed YOU this time. y
The weapon was common clasp-knife.
We make the following extract from
the confession of this young man:
"God is good, and 1T is His will that should
