The Morgan Raid Claims.

The Waverly Watchmaa has an edit
oriaI in favor of Jim Emmitt, the whis,
ky maker, in the course of which it
talks about the wonderful aid Emmitt
will render in pushing a law through
the Legislature, to pay the Morgan
Raid claims. 1t then says of Dr.. Mon
ahan:
CDR. Monahan, his opponent, al
though he may vote for the bill, if it is
brought before the Senate, he is not
particularly interested in the matter.
We state knowingly, that he will not
use ordinary exertions to secure the
passage of law; his convictions are
in opposition to the bill, the popularity
of the measure, only induces him to
give it a quasi support. The measure
is purely Democratic one, and his
fealty to party would lead him to post
pone final action on the bill as long as
possible"
Why does the Watchn'an say that Dr.
MOnahan is not particularly interested
in the matter? Has Mr.. Emmitt one
dollar due him individually? 1t has
been stated that Mr. Emmitt assigned
to some public use, all claim due him
as an individual for the $l4, 900 lost in
the Morgan Raid. Was this assign
ment a sham, and are Mr.. Emmitt's
exertion in this behalf for the purpose
of putting money into his own pocket
If not, why has he any more interest in
the matter than has DR.. Monahan 7
How is this Mr.. Watchman3
But you state knowingly that DR..
Monahan will not use ordinary exer-
tions to have this measure put through.
No sir. That is false. You know no
such thing. DR.. Monahan is man of
wonderful energy, and what be under
takes he accomplishes. If you state
the truth, that this is a Democratic
measure, then DR. Monahan is just
the man to aid it. Copperhead papers
claim that the Yankees on the Reserve
are the fellows who defeat this measure.
Ifths be so, who would be most likely
to win over these radicals to support the
bill,-the old whisky bloat copperhead,
or DR.. Monahan, Republican, and a
man of respectabiity, brains aud in
fluence 7
In one sense the Morgan Raid mat
ter is "purely Democratic measure"
There was not a man in all those five
thousand horse-thieves who accompa-
MED John Morgan through Ohio, who
was not blatant Democrat, and who
was not yawPing aud yelling for Val
landigham. Aud at that time both
the editor of the Wdtchmaa and his
owner Emmitt, were in full sympathy,
politically, with these horse thieves.

JACKSON O.. Der. 4th 1869.

EDITOR Standard.
Dear Sir: In read
ing your paper of last week, / find near
ly two columns devoted to me, over the
signature of Fair Play, which translated
means James Tripp, and you have my
thanks for your Kindness in giving me
space to reply-which I desire to do,
but briefly.
Ideny ever saying that Adam Lack
ey "stole one hundred dollars off of me" /"
or any one else, but l have said, and
still say, that he did take one hundred
dollars off of the firm of Chapman,
Clare q Co., illegally. unjustly, and in
violation of his agreement, by refusing
to pay within one per cent premium on
ten thousand dollars of Jackson County
Bonds, of what he authorized US to
offer for them in New York City and
that when the bends were purchased, he
refused to take them at more than 3
per cent premium, when he had author
lied qslto pay Al saying we could take
that, or hold the bonds until they ma
tured in 1879 These are the facts of
the transaction, and l have sufficient
proof in our Office, to satisfy any one
who will take the trouble to call, that
my statement is true. Mr., Lackey was
the party who transacted the business,
and not the board, although Mr.. Plum
mer desired to take the bonds at 4per
cent, and Mr.. Powers wished to be ex-
cused from saying anything on the sub
.ject, owing to the condition OF his
health. l have no desire to do Mr..
Lackey injustice, but he is public Off
Ger, and as such, his official acts any
one has a right to discuss; and | have
neversaid more about him than many
members of his own party, and Mr..
Trip knows it, and why has he not
come out in an article against them. if
Mr.. Lackey is SO pure and immacu-
late7
AS to the charges about taxes &c.,
l have this to say, that our firm has,
and have complied with the law, and
the instructions from the State and
county Auditors. Mr. Tripp knows,
as a lawyer, that Government Bonds
and Greenbacks are not taxed, and be-
cause our firm has done what the courts
have decided we have a right to do, and
what be himself has done, why does
he set up such howl? In reference to
the sale of the Diamond Furnace prop
erty, l acted as faithful agent for the
Jackson Iron & Coal Company, and
under their instructions, sold the prop
erty to Mr.. DUNCAN, Capt. Davis hav-
ing nothing to do with the transaction
whatever
have no fears Of being injured in.
any way, by Mr.. Trips unkiud and un-
gentlemanly attacks and insinuations,
and cannot conceive why | was made
the subject OF them, for our social and
business relations have been ofthe most
friendly character, ever since ! became
a citizen of Jackson county.

Democratic Meeting at Hamden

Gov Haight of California spoke at
Hamden on Wednesday of last week.
Great efforts were made to get up a
crowd, but those who were there say
there were not over two hundred per-
sons present 1t was a terrible scene
of drunkenness, and before the speak
ing commenced, some halfa dozen per-
sons were under arrest Gov. Haights
speech was a TRADE Of abuse of the
chinese. Wonder what the Chinese
kathen would think of such a crowd Of
Jsristians, ~ asoornblad TO hear of the
superiority ofthe white race?

as came to the gate to bid me good
bye.
Jackson Furnace is making good
iron, which meets with ready sale. l
saw Mr.. Thomas, Financial agent of
Cambria Furnace, and he says he can
sell all the iron they can make, and that
it is firm at $45 S48 per ton, delivered
on railroad. Mr.. Thomas also owns
an interest in Fulton. / saw Mr.. John
D. Davis, manager of Jefferson Fur
mace. He told me that Jefferson iron,
(cold blast } is selling at $54 to $50 at
the railroad, and meets with ready sale.
1t is mostly used in Dayton, in making
car wheels. Jefferson has not now
over 500 tons on hand. Sometimes
she has from 1000 to 5000 tons.
mixed much with Furnace owners
and Furnace hands, in this little three
days excursion, and ] found that Fur
mace men were never more prosperous
and hopeful than at the present time,
and that laboring men were never more
prosperous. The Democracy under
rate the intelligence of the men about
the Furnaces. They forget that schools
are kept up at the Furnaces the year
round, and that there is regular preach
ing, and many newspapers taken. AS
/ was going from the Jackson Furnace
up to the school house, it was dark and
got in company with lot of the
hands who were also going to the
school house, and l listened to their talk.
One of them remarked that he would
ne yer vote the Democratic ticket. He
said he had been much about Furnace,
and he remembered we'll that under a
Democratic administration the hands
had to work for half trade, and then pay
three prices for calico,and other goods.
He said he never wanted to go back to
the times of calico payment. There
was much other talk among these men,
which convinced me that they thor
oughly understood the situation.
Mr.. Thomas informed me that when
Buchanan's administration closed Cam
bria Furnace was carrying debt of one
hundred and .fve thousand dollars. And
/ know that Cambria was one of the
best, and best managed Furnaces in
the State. Now she is out of debt, and
making money. And all this under
Republican rule. Is it strange that
Furnace owners, and Furnace laborers,
feel lively interest in every election7

A Mistake Somewhere.

The Portsmouth Times says:
= ''It is not true, as has been frequent
ly stated by the press, that the duty of
redistricting the State into Congression-
al districts devolves upon the Legisla-
ture to be chosen this fall The census
of 1870 will not be completed and the
tables prepared until late in l87l-too
late for the next Legislature to act up
on. The redistricting under the CEN
sus of 800 was not made until 1869,
as will be seen by reference to the laws
of that year. The Legislature to be
chosen in 1871 will redistrict theState." I"
1t may be true, that during the first
years OF the Democratic rebellion, the
census returns were somewhat delayed.
BUTT willnot be so now,
The Waverly Watchman, another
Democratic paper, sings another tune.
In an editorial urging the Importance
of electing Emmitt to the State Senate,
1t says:
"And il should be borne in mind
that the assembly elected this fall will
redstrict the State for Congressmen--
q matter ofthe greatest Importance
because it cannot be changed for the
next ten years" iaa 9ji 1t1e
There is about as much difference be-
tween these two Democratic organs, in
adjoining counties, as there is between
the two Democratic candidates for
Governor-Rosecrans and Pendleton,
the former calling the lattera traitor to
his country.

AFFAIRS IN VIRG1NIA-REPoRT OF GENE
RAJ CANBY.-GeneraI Canby's report for
Virginia embodies statements relative to the
recent elections, asks the additional appro-
priation for reconstruction purposes OF
So, 900, and has the following Of general in
terest
One of the most important duties de-
yolving on the district commander, after
assumed the command on April 20, 1869,
was that OF making appointments to fill the
vacancies in the civil Offices created by the
operation Of the joint resolution of Congress
of February IS, 1869. The total number OF
luton was 6,06l, and Of this number only
$50 were found in office who could qualify
under the law of July 2, 1862, leaving j,1T6
Appointments to Ire made. To the 1st OF
October, instant, 1910 appointments have
been made, and Of these T0S have declined,
resigned, been removed, or have failed to
qualify, leaving 1852 now in office and Z, S14
vacancies.
From the first it was found very difficult
to find suitable persons who were willing
to accept offices the duties of which inter-
fered with their ordinary business, or occa-
stoned good deal Of trouble, and yielded
no compensation. Another embarrassment
resulted from the social and political pres
sure that was brought to bear upon nearly
all native Virgnans who were suggested
or recommended for an office that involved
the necessity Of taking the oath of office
prescribed by the law of July 2, 1862. At
this time, however, it is believed that every
county has sufficient number of qualified
magistrates to organize and hold its regular
courts, and, with few exceptions, county
organization is so far completed Is TO be in
working condition.
