EarD. w. Cherrington, nominee for Treasurer
lives in the lower end of the county, was a soldier
in the army and lost leg, which appeared TO DC
the chief recommendation for his nomination.
We are not very well acquainted with Mr., Cher
rinuton. but believe him to be clever, honest,
upright gentleman. As to his qualifications ior
Treasurer we are not able to say, butrather think
the peoples money Yill not be very safe in his
hands, unless he learned lesson by his careless
ness at Mr.. Faulkner's hotel.-heratd'
The above is rather strange reason
ing. First it is said that the chief rec
ommendation for Mr.. Cherrington's
nomination is the fact that he lest his
leg in the army, and then it is said that
he is clever, honest, upright gentle
man. One not verSed in the tricks Of
politicians might conclude that the lat
ter would be pretty good recommen-
dation. "Clever, honest, upright gen,
tleman." If none but such men were
elected to office, if they had no legs atall,
| it would be better than it has sometimes
been.
But how about his carelessness at Mr.
Faulkner's? He had his money stoer
at the hotel, and a jury of twelve men,
under oath, said Mr.. Faulkner was thu
man who was careless, and rendered
verdict in Mr.. Cherrington's favor
We know all about this case, having
been one of Mr.. Faulkner's counsel, il
connection with Mr.. Tripp and Col. 0
+. Moore.
There can be no doubt that the peo
pies money would be safe in the hand
of Mr.. Booth, copperhead candidate 70
Treasurer, if he should be elected. Ill
has proven that Some years ago HI
borrowed several hundred dollars of tn
peoples money out Of the treasury, an'
he has kept it so safely that the peopl
have never yet been able to get it.

LESSON.

Some Republicans, overlooking the
inherent Justice of impartial suffrage,
have been afraid that If negroes could
vote, they, like nearly all Ignorant de-
graded men, would vote the copperhead
ticket. We have never been afraid Of
this. Under the most discouraging
circumstances, through the war, they
remained true.
At the recent election in Tennessee,
strong efforts were made to get some Of
them to vote against BrownlOw. Be-
fore the war Brownlow was intensely
pro-slavery, and said many hard things
about the negroes. These things were
paraded before the negroes, but they
knew that Brownlow is now their friend,
and so they all voted for him. The ne
groes can be trusted.

will not do it, Johnson does not know
whether he has the power to remove

Of Johnson resigning.

challenged Fisher to fight dnel.

COUNTY COMMISSIONER MIR.
SCHELLENGER.

We have been publishing the pro-
ceedings of the county Commissioners
for some weeks, that the people may
know what their servants are doing.
We wish to conceal nothing, and if our
own party friends do wrong, the people
shall know it But justice should be
done to all.
Some persons complain because the
Commissioners have been meeting once
week, thus costing the county nine
dollars a week for their pay. Now let
us see. The county is expending forty
thousand dollars this summer in putting
up public buildings, thing that will
not be done again in hundred years.
1t ought to be, and is being done
right.
Now suppose you were partner in
building an iron furnace. Would you
advise your partners to let it build
itself, or would you not employ a COM
petent manager, at from five to ten dol
lars day, to see to it all the time
We believe the Commissioners ought
to meet at least once week, and attend
to the public business, while the public
buildings are going up. A failure tc
meet, at a cost of nine dollars, might
cost the county thousand dollars, by
some defect in the work upon the
Court House or Jail.
1t has also been said that the Com,
missioners employed Mr.. Martin tc
make an abstract of title for Lick town
ship, under the law of last winter, al
great expense to the county. We sup
posed that this was true, but Mr.. Mar
tin, Mr. Schelenger and Mr.. Atkinson,
the Auditor, inform us that it is moi
true. Mr.. Martin is making an abstract,
but he is doing it without any contract,
and the Commissioners need not buy it
unless they so desire. They utterly
refused to employ any one to make the
abstract, and Mr.. Schellenger especial!
objected, and said it would not do at al
to go into this expense now.

GROWING POPULARITY.

A short time ago, the Herald tried
to make its few readers believe that the
STANDARD was run down-that its edi-
tor had lost his influence, and was dis
carded by his party. Now the Herald
claims that we hold the great Union
party of Jackson county, consisting OF
two thousand voters, in the hollow of
our hand-that we put up and pull down
candidates, and control the conventions
of the party. We are hattered that
our popularity is so rapidly on the in
crease.
The Herald has much to say about
Mackley and his son-in-law We have
already stated that we had nothing what
ever to do with the nomination Of Mr..
Rhodes. But if the Herald could be
believed, he is not so bad candidate af-
ter all, ifhe is our son-in-law. The
Herald says of him:
Charles Rhodes, nominee for Recorder, Is q
worthy young man. well qualified to fll the office
Is q Radical ofthe most ultra type, but gentle
man In his business transactions, and minds ll'
own business. Charley will give our candidate
a close race, but we expect To be able to dulea
him.

pose of announcing his name rs n candidate ior

The Central Committee will furnish a

they are sent, use them to the best ad-

ElyOne fine feature on the occasion of the great

dldOte for State Senator, beautifully decorated
with bOquets and wreOths, under the supervision
of Mr.. q. w. WOlle which was suspended from
the store of Emnsitt, Myers & Co. The follow
ing was the motto; "0ur Senator. Opposed TO
the Amendment. For equal taxation
We find the above in one of our cop
perhead exchanges. We would sug-
gest that along side of this picture
should have been suspended picture of
the scene recently transacted in Chilli
cothe-the picture of young man who
was drunk on Emmitt's whisky, mur-
deTing his own mother. The quiver-
ing corps of the mother, as she fell,
struck dead by brick hurled by her
son, made crazy by Emmitt's dog leg,
would have been fit commentary upon
the life work of this man Emmitt.

NEGRO SUFFRAGE.

The Portsmouth Times says that Col.
John r. Hurd, Union candidate for
Representative in Scioto county, made
a few remarks to the convention after
his nomination. The Times publishes
these remarks, aud says they were.sub-
mitted to Mr.. IIurd before publication,
and he said the report was correct Now
the Times dares the Union papers Of
Portsmouth to publish this little speech,
We suppose they will do SO. Let Col.
TIurd fight it out on this line, and his
majority in Scioto county will be ovel
five hundred
Here is the report of the speech
given in the Times:

How Is TnIs ?-Wc are credhv informed that
the present nominee for County Treasurer on
the Republican ticket, prior to the Convention,
came to jackson, and tO the StminUd office for
the express purpose Of announcing his name rs
q candidate for Rtconler and that Bro. Macklcy
suggested 70 the gentleman that II would be bet
ter to announce his name for Treasurer; and thus
the gentleman changed his miud. Bro Mackoy
vas no doubt prompted by diaAirrestel motives
Who can douI II /? for Bro. Mackley had not got
% Guo,ite for the position of Treasurer. This
wins IN easy trick, because 10 made friends for our
son-n.law.-HerdH.
What we have to say 10 the above is,
that e,Gy ,rorI of it it is tcSo. You
was never credibly informed Of any
such thing. Mr. Cherrington never
came to our office to announce himself
for any office whatever. He never
spoke one word to us upon the subject
OF being a candidate, and wo never
spoke to him upon the subject. Afriend
brought in his announcement for him
as candidate for Treasurer, and nothing
was said by his friend then, or at any
other time, about his being candidate
for Recorder And further, we never
had anything whatever to do in bring
ing out any candidate, not even "our
son-in.law,"
Now Bro. MOnahan, do tell the truth.
It is just as easy ns to lie. Try it once.

E7-The Crccylllo Democrat SAYS that 'Thad-
deus Stevens has for years lived and Cohabted
with a negro wench." The same Taper s0mo
months ago spoke of His frequenting gambling
hes IN Washington, betting immense sums,
drinking hard and spending his nights In carous-
ais. Now, We know Mr., SrEvENs intimately,
having lived several yeaS In Washington, and
been regular visitor at his house aud we pro-
nonhce every one OF these charges false In every
particular. We call on the Democrat for its
proof We think we know who is his authority
as we believe these things are started by Brick
pomeroy, the most fou-mouthed and ilthest
dog In the Democratic kennel For years Mr..
SrEvENs hos been an invalid, and he never goes
out after night except 10 attend Congressional
session, his house being but Q few steps from the
Capital. lIelAa very abstemlous man, and man
Of pure morals. The stories about his gambling,
drinking and carouelng, are base fnbrieatlons,
that have no foundation In fact They are partl-
san slandcrs published for political effect. We
challenge the editor To produce the smallest lota
Of proof-not tho lies of any Illinois, Pennsylva-
MA New Jersey, or Ohio Copperhead cdItor.-
CkiilicOAe Gdsstte.
That silly lie about Mr Stevens may
be seen in all tho Copperhead papers,
but like the story of Gen. Buffers SIAN
der suit against Brick Pomeroy, not
one Of them will have the honesty to
take back the lie.
