Death of. Samuel strawder.
Ravenna, Sept. 26, 1868.

We learn from a despatch to DR..
Snyder, of this village, that the fune-
raj of, Samuel Strawder, former cit
izen of this County, took place at his
residence in Morrison, Illinois, on the
22d ult. Mr.. Strawder was for many
years a resident of Portage County,
having moved into the County about
the year 1912 from Milton Trumbull
County. He studied law with Hon.
R. P. Spalding and E. Spalding, Esq,
and was admitted to the bar at the
Fall term Of the Supreme Court of
this County, 1842, and opened law
Office in Shalersville, where he remain
ed until about the time he entered up
on the duties Of Prosecuting Attor-
.ney in 1851, to which Office he was
elected ON the Democratic ticket in
1850, and was reelected to the Office in
1852, serving the County in that capac-
| ity for the period of four years, &C.
ceptably to the people generally, and
creditably to himself. Soon after as
suming the duties of Prosecuting At
torney, he formed copartnership
with the late o. P. Brown, which con-
tinued until about the time he entered
into partnership with Hon: Alphonso
Hart in january 1857, which latter
partnership continued until the re-
.moval Of Mr.. Strawder to Illinois, in
the fall of 1859.
Mr.. Strawder was in the strictest
sense of the word self-made man
starting out in life without fortune,
without the advantages Of education,
and without the aid of influential
friends, yet by the force Of his perse-
vering industry and indomitable ener-
gy in the course of a few years he won
for himself an honorable position
among the members Of the bar Of Por-
tage County, and in his Western home
stood high in the profession.
Mr.. Strawder leaves widow and
several children, and large circle oi
acquaintances and friends to lament
his death.
j. s. Smith s. Co., are now receiv.
ing the best assorted stock of DRY
Goods ever brought to Portage Coun.

The following circular has been received
by Hon. George E. Bovee, Secretary OF
State of Louisiana, to whom application
may be made for passports:
DEPARTMENT OF STATE,
Washington, september 1865.
Official information has been received at
this department that the Spanish author
tiles OF the Island of Cuba have adopted a
new regulation concerning passports.
That regulation requires all passengers ar
irving at the ports of that island to present
authentic official passports properly vised
by the Spanish Consul in the ports of de-
parture, and that in case of passengers
failing to exhibit such passports so re-
quired, they will not be permitted TO land
without compliance with special condi-
tons, which will be found very inconven-
lent in many cases and impossible in
others.
Notice has also been received at this
department that the papers purporting to
be passports issued by The Mayor OF New
Orleans and vised by the Spanish Consul
there, are rejected under the before-men-
toned regulation.
Notice has also been received that per-
sons residing in the United States seaports
who call themselves passport agents. are
in the habit Of giving certificates in which
it is stated that they have applied to the
Department Of State for passports, and that
these certificates, being vised by the Span
ish Consul, are presented as passports in
Cuban ports, and are rejected there under
the same regulation before mentioned.

An OLD sLANDBR REVIVED,

The Picaytine Of This morning, in an artl-
Gle headed Peace" etc., audaciousiy re-
wives the refuted SANDER that it was the
friends of the Convention movement who
began the violence on the memorable thir-
tieth of July, 1866. Everybody in this city
knows. and none better than the writer Of
this article, that the reverse Of this is truei
that the members of the Convention and
their adherents assembled peaceably, the
former called together for the performance
of public business, and the latter attracted
by a very natural interest in the expected
proceedings; and that the peace was not
broken by either, but by murderous
mob, melted to bloodsbed by an ineen-
diary press. 1t is pity if the Picaylne
can find no better method to soothe The
irritation which it has helped to excite,
than by galvanizing this dead SANDER.
"A lie well stuck to" is not "as good as
the TRUTH when all the world knows it to
be lie.

Some PoInta.

Stewart L. Woodford of New York made
the following points before the merchants
OF New York few days ago;
OF the term carpet-baggers, he said that
it only meant man who leaves one sec
ton of the country to dwell in another,
and that in nine-tentbs of the satchels car
ried by carpet-baggers in the South might
be found an honorable army discharge
"Carpet-baggers,' said Mr. Wosdford, IL
believe that old Miles Standish, as he
stood on Plymouth Rock, was the grandest
old carpet-bagger this country ever saw"
But the Democrats say that these are
all dead issues, demand that we talk of
bonds and taxation, and say that after eight
years OF Radical misrulep the country is
saddled with an immense debt for which the
Republican party is responsible. This kid
Of talk reminded Mr.. Woodford of the man
who demonstrated with his neighbor for
throwing a rosewood sofa to his child that
was drowning instead OF going half mile
for some pine lumber. When the war was
upon us we needed money and had right
to have it at any cost.

THE JEFFERSON CITY FARCE,

Our usually quiet ana insignificant neigh
Dor, Jefferson city, tired of the obscurity Of
her position, has resolved to assert her
claims to public notice and show what she
can do. The supplemented creature is
willing to spend money in furtherance Of
her ambitious views, and like green prodi-
gal just come to town, is quite unconscious
of the ridiculous figure she is making.
Pugnacious and purse-proud, she will go
to law, so she WILL and so meekly inserting
her nose between the firm fingers OF her
legal advisers, she votes them two thousand
dollars for causing her to make a fool Of
herself. Meanwhile the Metropolitan Police
Board laughs at the farce and lets it pro-
coed until the time cones to put an end to
