ROIINTIES.

1t will be remembered that one year
ago last July, Congress passed an act
giving additional bounties to soldiers.
Very few have yet received the money.
Last spring we called upon our member
of Congress to inquire into this delay
Mr.. Wilson wrote us a note, which we
published,
Since that time Mr.. Wilson, and 9th
er friends of the soldiers, have been act
i've in their efforts to have something
done.
Mr.. Wilson has sent us a speech
made upon the question, by Hon. H.
E. Paine, of Wisconsin We will pub
lish some extracts from this speech
hereafter, that our readers may have
some idea of where the blame lies.

spell any more until new captains again
chose for another contest. The spell
ing was continued until all of one side
was silenced. Nothing pleased me
more than to have all my side spelled
down except myself, while a large NUM-
Der were left on the opposite side. |
would then spell one word, and the 9th
er side the next. Then it would be my
turn again, and SO on. III could get
them all down, so much the more glory,
on account of the magnitude of the
work. l have contended for halfan hour
with one pupil, before enc or the other
ofus would miss. So great an interest
did we take in the matter, that when
we missed a word, and had to sit down,
we never forgot how to spell that word.
l once contended for long time with
school teacher named Charles Miller.
The teacher who was "giving out" the
words for US went from one hard place
in the book to another, and then to the
easy words, when finally he hepronounced
the word "apparltion." l spelled it
with only one p, and of course had to
sit down. That has been very many
years ago-longer than many Of my
readers have lived; yet | will nerer for
get how to spell that word. And SO
with every word missed.
But must leave this branch of my
subject. If the teachers of this county
will permit me to publish their appli-
cations for certificates, with their names
attached, I will require no further proof
of the lack of attention paid to spelling
at the present time.

where does the Supreme Court get the
authority to set aside the action of the
Legislative department Of the Govern
ment! Surely not in the Constitution.
It is not from English precedent, for
there Parliament is supreme.
This idea Ofgiving all power into the
hands of few judges, who are not re-
sponsible to the people, is absurd and
dangerous. The Democracy have sew
eral times intimated that no act of Con-
gress should be executed by the Presi-
dent, if he did not think it was constitu-
tional, until the Supreme Court should
declare it SO. In other words, the pre-
sumption should be that all acts of the
Legislative body should be presumed
to be unconstitutional until decided
otherwise.
The only objection l see to the bill
spoken ofby the Journals, that should
require the unanimous concurrence Of
all the judges to set aside an act of Con
gress And this power can be permit
ted alone on the ground of American
precedent, and not from any grant Of
power in the Constitution itself.

STANDARD FOR THE CAM
s.salsi VpAW6s% .a.lssg.- l..i.ll.


The Republican State Convention
will meet on the 4th day of March.
The first issue of the Standard after that
will be the 9th. I propose to open the
campaign at that time. From and af-
ter that date, until after the Presiden-
tial election, period of eight months,
Twill send the paper for one dollar.
The money must be paid, or credit
given on the books at some one Of the
furnaces, before the names are entered
on my subscription book.
The Standard will continue to advo-
cate those great principles of justice and
righteousness for which its editor has
contended during the past twenty five
years. Equal and exact justice to all
men and women, of every country, race
and color, is my motto
The Standard will support, with what
ability it can, the nominees of the Re-
publican conventions, National, State,
District and county, whether those nom
inees be the first choice of its editor or
not have my preferences, but these
must give way, if necessary, to the
united wisdom of that glorious party
which saved our beloved country during
its struggle with treason and rebellion.
Under the above offer, oughtto have
one thousand subscribers before the
meeting of the National convention, in
May. Send the names and money at
once, so that l will know how many
copies to issue on the 9th of March.

Neither party was victorious.

Minute directions are given in the wrapper on
the box, for the following complaints, which these
PIis rapidly cure:-
For dyspepsia or Indigestion, Listless-
ness, LanguOr and LOss Of Appetite, they
should DO taken moderately to stimulate the stom'
aCh and restore its healthy tone and action.
For Liver Complaint and Its various symp'
toms, Bilious Headache, Sick Headache,
Jnundice or Green sickness, AsiItOus
Collie and Bilious Eevera, they should be ju.
dciousy taken for each case to correct the diseased
action or remove the distractions which cause 1t.
For Dysentery or DiarFhOea, but one mild
dose is generally required.
fur NhsuhSsshES OVHS, NEnsuS3 StPs-
tatiOn Of the Heart, Pain in the Side,
Back and LOIns, they should be continuously
taken as required to change the diseased action of
the system. With such change those complaints
disappear.
For DrOpsy and Dr0psicaI sWelIings they
should be taken in large and frequent doses TO pro-
duce the effect of drastic purge.
For Suppression a large dose should be taken
as II produces the desired cifeet by sympathy
As a Dinner PiH, take one or two Pttts to pro-
mote digestion and relieve the stomach.
An occasional dose stimulates the stomach and
bowels into healthy action, restores the appetite,
and invig0rates the system. Hence 1t Is often ad.
vantageous where no serious arrangement exists
One who feels toerabywel, often finds that dose
Of these PiHs makes him feel decidedly better, from
their cleansing and renOyating effect ON the diges
tive apparatus. There are numerous cases where
a purgatve is required, which we cannot enumer'
ate here, but they suggest themselves TO everybody
and where the virtues of this Iilt are known, the
public no longer doubt what 10 employ.

know that some, even school teach
ers, will laugh at my antiquated ideas
about the importance of spelling.
When the question of night spelling
schools was discussed in the Institute at
this place, the learned teachers and
Professors made sport of such schools.
Great importance is attached to Alge-
bra, Latin &c. but the proper spelling
and pronunciation of the words of the
English Language, are matters beneath
the dignity oflearned Professors; hence
one of them used the word obligatory,
placing the accent upon the second, in
stead Of the first syllable. On last
Thursday, heard school teacher, and
the first Vice President of the Jackson
county Teachers Association, pro-
nounce the word inquiry, as if it had
been written mquerry, with the accent
on the first, instead of the second syllable.
as it should be- | told him, by way Of
joke, that he should say inquiry, and
not mquerry. A Democratic lawyer
present, offered to bet me 500 that il
was inquerry, and not inquiry And he
is one Of the Board of Education for the
town of Jackson, And such is the
gross ignorance, and such are the blum
ders, caused by want Of proper atten-
ton to the vital matter of spelling and
pronunciation
While thinking upon this matter,
noticed an article in the January mum
Der of the Ohio Educational Monthly
the first portion of which l quote, al
follows:
