BIZ THE EDITOR.


The newspapers are filed with advertisements
how to make money without work, and how to
become rich. We see men-stout healthy men,
travelling over the country. irving to sell all kinds
Of patented articles. We see troupes of men
backed as negroes, singing low songs for living.
This is all bad enough but 1t is better perhaps,
than to sec young men sitting on the corners
waiting for something TO turn up, or loaHng
arounda billiard table, smoking and swiing beer.
1t appears strange to me why 80 many men fail
to see the true foundation of success. It is only
necessary to have fixed, definite purpose, and
then resolve to succeed, regardless of all opposi-
ton. Never be discouraged. Resolve to succeed
or die in the attempt.
We read in the 32nd chapter of Genesis, that
when Jacob greatly feared bis brother Esau, he
was praying TO God for aid God appeared to
him in the night, as an angel, but In the form of
a man. Jacob wrestled with him all night with
out prevailing. At the break of day the angel de-
sired to depart, but Jacob held him fast and ut
terly refused to let him 90 until he blessed him.
The angel then touched Jacobs thigh and with
ltf duu AOt ihCi SutONluS lHO
bones ont of joint. But manned and crippled as
he was, he still held the angel fast, until he re-
cciyed the blessing. He afterwards said that he
had seen God face to face, and still lived. This
narrative is perhaps figure, but 1t contains the
key to success in life. Although we may have
to contend all through the darkness of the night;
although we may have to wrestle with force
able TO crush us although we may be MANNED in
the contest, and have our joints disocated, yet let
us wrestle on, and the breaking of the day will
come at last, and bring us victory. When the
morning sun arises In It's glorious effulgence, 1t
will shine upon hero, although he may have to
enter the day with wounds and lameness, received
In the unequal contest. But we are told that it is
better thus to enter life hereafter than 1t is to be
cast into hell with all our members.
Oh young men Why will You be content to
be nobody in this world, and in the world to come
You say you cannot get the employment for
which you have fitted yourself Then say, do
the next best thing. Take off your coat, take
hold, and do something. Do something that will
be benefit either to yourself or others. But
never despair Success wiU come, If you arc de-
termiEed to win IT, Do not waver Learn to
wait. First deserve success, and it is sure to
come. D. NJ.

The Soldiers.

The Democracy, being the peculiar friends OF
the soldier have manifested great indignation
against the Republican party because the Sufrago o
Amendment dsfranchises deserters They love
soldier so much that they are not willing that
even deserter shall be treated with indignity.
Now, IL is pretty well understood among the
soldier boys that these men, who called them
''Lincoln hirelings," q Hessians," . thieves, +"
"loyal hen-roost robbers. 4" ''murderers, "feon s.
guilty of rape, arson and wholesale robbery, and
other pet names during the war and who refused
to vote "a man or a dollar" for their support in
the bitter struggle through which they passed I;
and who uniformly refused TO recognize the right
of the soldier to vote; and who, even now, deny
the right Of coercion, and attempt to dishonor
the great struggle for the life Of the Nation, as
''iratTicidal war; ind Crusade against liberty "
1t Is pretty well understood, we say, that the
party guilty Of all this outrage upon the dearest
rights and the most sacred feelings of the soldier
comes forward now too late with proffers of re-
gard and friendship.
But as if all the other accumulated evidence
we're insufficient to show their hatred for the SOL
dier, and the hypocrisy of their crocodile tears
over the disfranchisement of soldiers, they have
once more placed themselves squarely upon the
record. Mr.. Saddler in view of the domicil in
the State Of q large number Of MANNED and
disabled soldiers by the location of the National
Soldiers Home in the State, introduced bill to
enable these manned soldiers to vote, and every
Democrat in both Houses voted against IL! That is
the love of the Democrat for the soldier That is
the way the Democratic party feels about the dis
reimbursement Of soldiers who have not been
guilty of desertion
1t is within the recollection Of more than a
score Of wounded soldiers Of the Ohio Soldiers
Homo, that they were driven from the polls and
prevented from voting, when fully authorized to
vote by the laws Of the State. Democratic Judges
in the county0f Franklin perpetrated this out
rage 1t will not be forgotten.
But we have already said more than enough
under this head. The pretense of friendship for
the soldier is the most impudent and bareiaced
swindle ever attempted by the Democratic party.
1t is SO understood, and nothing further need be
said about IT, Columbus Journal

GIVE find the following in the
Fayette County Herald:

"The Columbus Journal suggests the name ol
Gen. j. A. Garfield as proper one to be presented
to the Union State Convention for the nomination
of Governor
Gen. Garfield is undoubtedly well qualified for
the high position, and would make good Cover
nor, but he is already in good position. Polt-
icaly, his services are needed where the people OF
his district, by their partialties have placed him.
We have men who would be equally trustworthy
and efficient In the Executive office Of our State
who are not holding any official station present
Would 1t not be well to look among this worthy
and competent class of Gentlemen for q candi.
datel Besides, we think 1t due the central or
southern portion Of the State that the candidate
this time should be taken from this sec ton mol
that the mere location would insure q better
executive officer, but there Is little matter of
sectional pride that IL might be well to crafty
when Il can be done without hazard to the inter-
ests Of the people Of the State. Lately the
northern portion of the State has furnished Gov
ernors that the State may well feel proud Of. If,
however, Mr.. Garfield should be the nominee OF
the party, we can support him cheerfully and
with the confidence that we are giving our sup.
port to Statesman and o tried and true patriot,
one who never shrank from duty, and one who
would, in the Executive charge Of Ohio, be an
honor to the State.
We indorse every word of the above,
and would say that the man who is just
suited for the position, in every respect
qualifications, locality, &c, is Hon.
II. s. Bundy, of Jackson County. lie
is the choice of the Union members Of
Congress from Ohio, and also of the
people of Southern Ohio. lie is q
popular and able speaker, and would
sweep the State, if nominated.

THE YEARLY ASSESSMENT.

Col. DOVE, Assistant Assessor for this
county, informs us that he has received
his blanks, and will proceed at once to
make the annual assessment.
We make the following extract from
the Internal Revenue Record, upon this
subject:
THE License or tax year for special taxes Il
unchanged. II begins the first of May, and ends
tho thlrtleth Of April. The time for persons in
business to make application, or to hle notice.
and to pay the tax has, however, been advanced
two months earlier In the year. II Is the duty OF
persons intending to continue In business after
the first of May, whether In their present place
Of business, or In new one to which they design
TO moVo, TO make application forthwith, and be
prepared TO pay their special tax before tho let Of
May. II any person liable TO special tax Is found
In business on or after that date, he viii Incur the
penalties prescribed by law, which will be- enforced
with the utmost rlgor consistent with Justice.
The time for assessments have been changed for
tho purpose of enabling every person TO obtain
and hold their special tax receipts during the en-
tire year as the law requires and II they fall so to
do, they viii have to bear the punishment Of a
fno not less than $40 nor more than $780,

Editor Of the Jackson STANDARD:
The time will soon come when the Union party
will be called upon to nominate candidate for
Governor of the State OF Ohio. Permit me,
through your paper. to suggest the name Of
H. s. BUSDY, late member of Congress from the
18th District, as a suitable candidate for thai
Office. A man of unexceptionable character, em.
inently qualified to make a good Governor, re-
spected by his fellow citizens at home, and wher.
ever known, abroad, sound on all the great
Issues of the day.

Bingham. That gentleman's speech,

AS he afterwards wrote it out, and had
it published, it contained l,O47 words,

this dishonorable course, Gen. Butler
