Consistent.

A resolution was introduced in the
Legislature last week, inviting Andy
johnson to visit the Legislature when
on his way to Tennessee. 1t was finally
postponed indefinitely. Mr.. DUNCAN
voted against the postponement. So
Mr.. DUNCAN, who miSrepresentS jack
son county, desired that bad man, the
late Andy Johnson, to insult the loyal
people of Ohio with his presence But
it was consistent for such Legislature
to desire his presence. 1t would be
more appropriate for such men, than to
desire the presence Of Gen. Howard.

John NJ. Higgins.

This young man, whom even our
most distant readers remember, as the
young man who was sent to the peni-
tentiary for one year, for being connect
cd with robbing the ballot box in the
First Ward in October, 1867, has just
returned as a redeemed man, renewed
in heart, rejoicing that in the dispensa-
tions of time and Providence he has
been brought to see that "Via descensus
aUera''-the road to hell is easy. Now,
he proposes to take new road and to
travel in a new direction. We know
it is not usual for men to make such
short turns in life-but we know Mr..
Higgins is sincere, and we know he
will do what he says he will do--re"
deem his character and stand up man
among men. And where is the man
that will throw a straw in his way ?
We shall not only take pleasure in as
sisting him to regain what he has lost,
but shall particularly note these men
who may endeavor to retard his pro-
gress in the ways of usefulness, indus
try and honor. We are glad to say

cation for work to Messrs, Gaylord &

A Duel.

A duel has been fought up at Circle
vile. James CHM and Will Jackson,
two fast young chaps, quarreled about
woman, when some. waggish friends
got up a challenge, and duel. The
parties met at Gregg's Woods, and
were placed back to back, twenty PAGES
apart, and shot guns, loaded with wads
placed in their hands. At the word
they turned and fred, and both fell, -
After finding that neither was hurt
they arose, shook hands and became
friends. 1t is said that the hand shak,
ing was superhuous, as they had been
shaking all over, for some time,

1--WE are sorry to see the good feeling
which has existed between the editors of this
section of the State interrupted by the unpleas-
ant difficulty between Bro. Wilson of the IRON
ton Register, and Bro. Mackley of the Jackson
Standard. Since the meeting Of the Editorial
Union we have felt astrong personal attachment
for each one of its members, that could not 9TH
erwise have grown in years, and It has appeared
to us that we could discover in the tone of the
papers towards each other vein of kindness,
consderat ion and respect that did not before ex-
ist.-We felt that the standing of the Press was
elevated thereby, and ii was with deep regret we
read Bro. Wilson's article rejecting upon the
personal character of Bro. Mackley. We know
that our friend Wilson felt that Bro, Mackley
was pushing him harder than was courteous, but
we thought that the editor of the Register had
been long enough in the business to know how
to take Joke" He should remember his re-
marks upon this subject before the Union, and
then-"let us have peace. "-tEnton Record
I'VE fully endorse all said by Bro. Raper, of
the Record. Nothing so unpleasant to US has
occurred in this district since the establishment
of the Editorial Union. We are aware Bro
Mackley Is q little rough to some of his brethren,
et beneath all there is such o vein of hearty
good feeling and honesty that we like his spe-
cies Of rougllness, and would delight to rub up
against it, " that our own unsmoothed surfaces
might be hewed down But Mr.. Mackley never
intended to insult or injure Bro. Wilson. Bro
Wilson, no doubt, honestly believed he did,
hence there is misunderstanding; and here is
the honorable way to settle the matter. We
must "have peace" Let Bro. Raper, who with
the editor of the Ironton Register, is young
man, be the medium through which the recon-
ciliaton is to be made. The editor of the Reg
lister has mis-construed its contemporary, and up
on this basis has lei fly with lis face pen, words
which, under other circumstances, would not
have been written. Portsmouth Republican.

EClem."

The fellow "Clem," who wrote from
Portsmouth to the Gallipolis Journal,
attacking female teachers, is having a
merry time oft. Several answers have
appeared in the Journal One of them
we will publish next week. We think,
from the initials, that 1t was written by
George P. Mathews, son of the late T,
r. Mathews, ofthiS place.
The Portsmouth Republican copied
what we said about "Clem," and then
adds:
We take the above from the Stand
ard not having the least idea who it is
that says Scioto county hires no female
teachers of public schools, except in
Portsmouth. We know there are 10.
male teachers at Wheelersburgh, and
we have no doubt at many other places,
and there ought to be, For our own
part we greatly prefer to commit our
little boys and girls to the care Of
discreet and competent female teachers
than to any man. They are, as a gen.
eral thing, better calculated for the
worrying cares of school-room But,
aside from this they need this as one of
the very few avocations open for wo-
men, whereby they can make them
selves useful and earn bread for their
children or dependents "Clem" would
no doubt prefer to make women wholly
dependent so that such as he could take
advantage OF their helplessness. We
think he has slandered this county.

says

respondent of the Gallpolis Journal,
who asserted that there were no female
teachers employed in Scioto county, ex-

BY THE EDITOR.

Newspaper men have been dying for
the past six weeks to know who would
compose the cabinet of Gen. Grant. ]
did not suffer as much upon this sub
ject as some. had a good deal Of
confidence in Grant, although have
not been one of his wOrshippers. Well,
the agony is pretty much over. Here
they are:
Secretary of State, Elihu B. Wash
burne, Of Illinois; Secretary of the
Treasury, Alex. T. Stewart, of New
York; Secretary of the Navy, Adolphe
E. Borie, of Pennsylvania; Secretary
of the Interior, Jacob D. Cox, of Ohio;
Postmaster General, John w. J.Cress-
we'll, of Maryland; Attorney General,
Eben lockwood Hoar, of Massachu-
sets, There was no nomination for
Secretary Of War.
"Weil," says my friend, chow do
you like it." Pretty we'll Wash
burne is reliable man, and q man of
national reputation. Stewart is the rich
merchant of New York. His property
is worth many millions. His income
has been over million a year some
years recently. l never admire mere
riches, but it is well to remember that
man who can manage his own busi-
ness well is more likely to understand
how to manage the business of the ma
ton than the man who is bankrupt in
his private business. Men have fre-
quently been put in Office, to manage
tho public business, who would not bo
trusted, where best known, for a drink
of common whisky. All know Gen.
Cox. He is an excellent man, but do
not like his politics. CressweI is a
good man, and well known. Hoar is
one Of the best of the lot. OF Borie |
never heard. He is like Nasby's can
didate tor President. He has no record
to be brought against him. 1t tisprob-
able that Gen. Schofeld will be contin :
ued in the War Department for time.
He is as good a man as can be found.
These men are all sound Republicans, +,
some of them very radical. Cox is the
most conservative. These appoint
ments will be sad news to our Demo-
cratic friends, who were planning to
have Gen. Lee, or Gen. Mcclellan, or
some such men at the head of the Gov
ernment.
Well, how about the Inaugurall II
is good-excellent. That part of il
which says the debt must be honestly
paid, is magnificent. 1t knocks the
Democratic rascals and rebels higher
than a kite Then that part which IA
vors the Constitutional Amendment
to permit negroes to vote, must lie
heavy on the Democratic stomach.

ocratic friends who were so sure that

out and elected him, Here he has ap-

minutes of the previous meeting, which were
adopted with the following correction, viz
That the name OF DR.. Tracy, which was ex-

but on account of being an irregular practitioner.
The regular Essayist, DR.. Fierce, and the Alter
nate, DR., Baker, both being present, plead want

forthcoming of their respective productions,
which of course materially lessened the interest
of the meeting, were on motion excused, and
