The Visible Admixture Law, and
the Student DiSfranChiSement
Law, declared Unconstitutional
by the Supreme Court Of 0hiO---
Rebel RasCality Receives 4 Right
eOus Rebuke. 4
A case was recently decided in the
District Court, involving the constitu-
tionality of the Visible Admixture ras-
cality, and the attempt to disfranehise
the students of the Ohio colleges. Both
were declared unconstitutional. A
motion was then madet to file a.petitiQa
in error in the Supreme Court. The
motion was argued, and then refused,
the Court holding, unanimously, that
both attempts at making laws were in
violation of the CONSTITUTION of the State,
and therefore utterly null and void.
This piece of Internal rebel rascalty
was matured before the April election,
but was held back so that the question
could not be raisedy as these fellows
thought, until after the October
election. So the thing was enacted as
soon as the spring election was over,
But there were special elections in sew
eral parts Of the State, and the Demo-
cratic majority soon found that The case
could get into the Supreme Court be-
fore October So they enacted another
law that 10 case should be taken up in
the Supreme Court only in its regular
order. This would keep cases from
being heard for at least two years,
These men knew well that this thing
would be declared no law, and they
only wanted to scare off afew thousand
Republican votes, and thus Keep in
power one year longer, But motions
to file petitions in error can be, taken
up at any time, and thus this attempted
piece Of raseality has been reached and

eSCAPr. RAPER, of the Vinton Record
gives his opinion of the different editors
whom he met at Ironton. Speaking
of the editor of the Stasaard he SAYS
"Bro. Mackley, Of the Jackson Stand
ard, who so ably set forth tie huckle-
berry and persimmon interest of his
section, stepped down from the digni-
fed position he usually maintains, and
let MS see a vein of hnrnor flowing in a
course undisturbed. We think Bro.
Mackley gets up a paper as little like
himself as does any member of the
Union, unless we except Bro Eylar.
One would scarcely think that person
SO young-scarcely twenty-one-and
so modestas Bro, Eylar, is the yigor-
GUS writer Of the Peoples Defender"
He thus speaks of some of theothers.
"And there was Col. Thomas, of the
Catlettsbtrg Tribune, young, handsome
and--maTied; the orator of the occa-
sion, the defender of Tngg Fork, the
noblest Roman of them all whose
flights of eloquence were only equaled
by the sound reasoning and uncommon
sense Of Wilson, of the Iron on Regis

monstrating his unheard-of PROPOSE
tions to certainty, convincing all that

Last week, inispeaking of the open
lug up of new firms, / used the word
"'clearing." The printer rendered it

proof sheet, but it came out in the paper
"cleaning." 1t should have read
clearing"
No plow was used but the shovel
bplow. After the roots hadlbeGome well
rotted, after yeals of cultivation, the
bar-share plow was introduced. II was
a most clumsy thing as compared with
the plows Of the present day. 1t had a
wooden mould board, and the dirt had
to be scraped off frequently, and then
it turned no such farrow as the plow
with an iron or steel mould board.
The first cast iron plow that. 4 ever saw
was in.the year 1888, II was brought
from the State Of New York by a
family that came from that place to
this county This plow was a great
curiosity.
There was no iron about the old
shovel plow, or about the harness, ex-
cept the shovel itself The traces were
ropes, and the larhusks, The rope
traces were loored through holes bored
in the names, and looped around the
single tree. The lines were also home
made ropes; SO that there was no
leather used about the harness, or
gears" asthe haGqess were technically
called.
The new field that ] have described,
was clean of everything but stumps
The leaves had all been burned, and
the,surface was black, and most of the
seeds of the weeds on the top Of the
ground were destroyed by the FIRE
The corn would soon come up, aud re-
quired but little cultivation, 1t was
plowed twice, sometimes as many as
three times. Il was hoed when weeds
made their appearance. Late in the
season great crop of butter weeds
made their appearance, and when the
fall trosts came, the air would be filled
with the downy seeds of the butter
weed. tort t.
The first fields cleared were generally
upon the rich north hill sides, and
would produce from twenty-five TO
forty bushels Of corn to the acre in an
ordinary season That is, if SO much
was not destroyed by the numerous
enemies that surrounded it. As soon
as the corn began to silk, the birds,
squirrels, raccoons &c attacked it.
The raccoons always attacked il in the
night They climbed up the stalks
until their weight broke it down, when
they would gnaw the grain from the

The gray squirrels would eat the corn

trees, and near the outside fences,
1t took much time, and considerable
care and attention to make successful
warfare against these enemies Of the
crops. Large numbers of squirrels
were shot, aud the raceoons were hunt
ed at night. A good raccoon dog un-
derstood his business thoroughly. He
would rarely catch raccoon before it
would get up tree. The largest tree
was selected by the raccoon, If the
tree stood inside of the field, or was
very large, the hunters waited until

Grant.

III cannot be claimed that the edlto
Of the STANDARD is prejudiced in favo
Of Gen. Grant, We resisted his nom
inationso loug asthere was possibility
Of nominating another. But the Re
publican party united upon him as the
candidate of the party with universe
acquiescence unknown in tie history
of any party since the organization of
the Government. TO that universal
agreement we submit.
We do not yet believe that General
Grant is the most able man in this coun-
try; but we have never yet heard any
person question his honesty. E. d.
Mansfield, in the Cincinnati Gazette,
takes a proper view of the Office of
President. He says that the main
duties of the President, as laid down
in the Constitution, are to see that the
laws are faithfully executed in other
words, his office is purely executive.
The President should have no "poicy"
contrary to the will of the people.
Now let us see whether Gen. Grant
possesses the necessary qualifications
properly to discharge the duties of
President. That he possesses the
requisite firmness, energy and wisdom
to carry out whatever duties are requiI-
ed of him, is abundantly provenhy his
military career. His training in the
army peculiarly qualities him to under
stand and measure men, He will not
be likely to be imposed upon by un-
worthy, incompetent, ordishonest men,
and we may expect his appointments to
be made from the best men ip the ma
ton .,4m4ag sif Ia.4..aY.aG3m.
There is one feature in the past
course Of Gen. Grant which We must
admire, and which, in fact, is the only
true view to take of our system Of Coy
ernment, and which he appears thor
oughly to understand. We refer to the
idea that ours is a Government HhePeo-
a .sr|
| pie, and that their will is, ought to be,
and must be, supreme.
In his letter to President johnson,
uponthe removal of Gen Sheridan,
Gen Grant earnestly urges this idea
upon the President, He says plainly
that the people in this country must
rule, and tells the President that the
people require that Gen. Sheridan be
retained! Ina short speech which he
made in Washington City last week
when the committee formally announ.
ced to him his nomination, he says that
if elected, he will have no policy con.
trary to the will Of the people. This
was the course pursued by Abraham
Lincoln Well do we remember the
words of Abraham Lincoln in the dark
days Of 1869, when it appeared thai
the peace Democracy would carry The
elections in tho loyal States Mr. Lin
Z coln said that the matter was with the
people, and ifithey did notwish to save
the Government, he had no power OF
wish TO 90 contrary to their will.
Now if Genus Grant will indorse the
excellent platform adopted by the Chi
cago convention, execute the laws pass
ed by the peoples representatives, and
appoint good men to office, why will he
not make one Of the best Presidents We
have ever had! "J a'''' '.
