is too clearly correct, and the evil results of
having our Presidents scheming through one

been so glaring that the measure must GER

NEWS ITEMS.

The Chillicothe Register says that a
man named VIM. Montgomery was
stabbed and killed on last Friday, in
Harrison township, Ross county, by a
man named Wolf There was an old
grudge between the parties, when they
engaged in fight with knives. Wolf
was also dangerously wounded.
The election in Vermont last week
resulted in a Republican majority of
about 10000. The vote was light.
There was falling off in the Republi-
can vote since last fall Of about 33 per
cent, and falling off in the Democrat
10 vote of 81 per cent, being relative
Republican gain of 4 per cent.
The recent election in California,
for members of the State Legislature,
resulted in an increased Democratic
majority. But there is nothing to JUS
tify so much Democratic brag, as the
State was Democratic before, the late
Legislature having elected Casserly,
Democrat, to the United States Senate.
There has been an election in New
Mexico, resulting in Republican viC-

TheCOnet.

Several of our exchanges are publish.
ing, apparently in earnest, sensation
stories about a comet. They say that
for ten years astronomers have frequent
Iy foretold that about this time a great
comet, ball of fire several thousand
times as large as the earth, will pass
very near the earth-in fact, will strike
the earth, and that it can now be seen
with the naked eye, any time between
midnight and daylight, in the northern
sky,
The above is all terribly true, with
the following very slight exceptions,
No astronomer has foretold the appear
ance of a comet at this time, for the
very good reason that the motions
of comets are so erratic that astronomers
can make no calculations as to the time
of their appearance, or how near to the
earth they will come. Comets are not
balls of fire, but vapor so thin that
stars can be seen through the body of
them, and the earth might pass through
the centre of one, and no person be
hurt. And no comet is to be seen with
the naked eye, or even with a powerful
glass. So all may sleep content, so far
as the destruction of the earth by a
comet is concerned.

Sam Cary on Negro Suffrage.

The Herald, in speaking of Cary'G

A Terrible Affair.

Just after we had gone to press last
week, the news arrived of q terrible af-
fair at Plymouth, Pennsylvania. There
are extensive coal mines at that place.
There had been a strike, and the hands
had not been at work for three months.
Two hundred men agreed to go to
work, and descended the shaft, 1927 feet
deep. There is but one opening in the
mine, and furnace is kept burning at
the bottom of the shaft, to assist in ven-
tilation. The works were of wood,
and large wooden buildings were erect
cd at the top of the shaft, and in these
buildings was the machinery by which
the coal was raised. Soon after the
men had descended, fire burst forth
in the shaft, and the buildings at the
top were consumed, and fell into the
shaft. 1t was many hours before an
attempt could be made to look for the
men in the mine. Two men lost their
lives in the attempt But finally the
fire was extinguished, the air purified,
and the men were found, all dead, Of
course. Six hundred widows and or.
phans are left, in destitute circumstan-
ces.

A Lie.

A short time ago we copied an arti-
Gle from the Chillicothe advertiser,
which charged that at some of the fur
naces in Jackson and Vinton counties,
notices were posted up, stating that if
the hands did not buy their goods at
the company's store, they must call and
settle.
We stated that we did not know
whether this was true or not, but that
we could not see anything wrong in it.
The Vinton Record says it has made in
quiry, and finds that it was false, so far
as Vinton county is concerned. We
do not believe that it is true as to Jack.
son county. As the Herald mixes in
the matter, we ask it 10 state at which
furnace in Jackson county such no.
tice has been put up. Come now.
Out with it.

A Friendly Word to Those who
Write for the Standard.

DO not write with pencil. Use
good ink, and write on only one side
of the paper. The reason for this is,
that often two or three printers set up
the same article, and they cannot divide
It when written on both sides. II you
cannot punctuato correctly, do not at
tempt it. 1t is very troublesome to
come to a dash q at every few words,
and especially at the end of sentence
DO not use the character &, but write
it out, and. Do not abbreviate, but
write out every word in full. We can
abbreviate where necessary.
Please observe these rules in future.

Glorious Victory in Maine.

The elections start off this fall Just
as they have done every year since the
Democratic rebellion. First Vermont,
with her great Republican majority.
Then Maine, the same. And it will be
just so when the election comes off in
Ohio and Pennsylvania.
On Monday last the election in Maine
took place. The Cincinnati Gazette of
Tuesday gives the result thus:
'THE MAINE ELECTION. Maine fol.
lows Vermont and goes Republican.
Democrats that have taken such solid
comfort with those celebrated "figures
that don't lie" have again come to grief,
and the Republican banner once more
waves over a triumphant party. The
victory this year is the more gratifying
that it was won against unusual odds.
Last year Gcv. Chamberlain ran against
Pillsbury, and in total vote of l3i 1872,
had a majority of l9.26S. This year
the Republicans nominated Governor
Chamberlain for reelection, the Demo-
Gratis put up Franklin Smith, and the
temperance men N.G. Hinehborn. Our
latest dispatches state that the total
vote pOlled will probably come up to
$4,000 Of this number Gov. Cham.
berlain has $4,000, Smith, $4,000 and
HinChborn, 5000, giving Governor
Chamberlain a majority offs, 900. Reck-
Oning Hinehborn's vote, as made up
equally Of Republicans and Democrats,
a calculation that is more favorable to
the latter than the facts would iustify,
the Republican majority is over is, 900,
This, in proportion to the total vote
polled, is considerably larger than the
majority of last year
"The Legislature iS overwhelmingly
Republican, aAd thus the election Of a
Republican Senator in place of Mr. Fes-
senden is insured.
''Not single candidate of the Tem-
perance Radicals is elected. II would
be we'll for the temperance men of this
State to make note of this fact.
Gas goes Maine, so goes the Union" !"
used to be the rallying cry. The times
have surely not so entirely changed that
this beginning is inauspicious."

Lord Byron.

The papers in this country and in
England, still have much to say about
Mrs. Stoves article in the Atlantic
Monthly. Nearly all give no credit to
the story The N, Y. Independent has
avery severe article against Mrs. Stowe
We may publish this when we get room
Gen. Butler has written a very able ar
ticle, showing the utter improbability
and want Of proof of its truth. A very
few writer's pretend to believe the Sto-
ry. One writer says that Byron's
works will gradually disappear from our
libraries. This will never be. Byron
was the most sublime poet who ever
wrote in the English language. We
have q fine edition OF his complete
works, illustrated. We had rarely
time of late years to read it, but since
this terrible story we have been exam
lining it anew We have admired Mrs
Stoves writings, We think Uncle
Toms Cabin the greatest work ever
produced in Americas but Childe Har-
old's Pilgrimage will be read, studied
add admired by millions in future ages,
long after Uncle Toms Cabin aud its
author shall have been utterly forgotten
upon the face of the earth.

Ranndiati0n.

Gary said that if we did not break
down the capitalist and the bondholder,
reputation is sure to come. "Amsn
to that" cried the Democrats over the
room. That is it. Rspudiation--ras-
cality-swindling That is what they
mean. That is what all this cry against
the bondholders is for. The bondhold-
ers advanced the money that paid the
soldiers for thraShing the rebels, and
putting down the Democratic rebellion.
And the Democratic party will never
forgive them for this. Now if they by
their persistent bowling against the
"bloated bondholdsr," can gull the vO-
ters, and get them to put the Democrat
ic party into power, these "Peniten-
tiary Birds" will at once repudiate the
bonds, and thus swindle the creditors
of the Government out OF the money
they advanced. They will thus effect
two objects, They will have revenge
against those who furnished the means
for saving the Government, and if they
can swindle the Government creditors,
they can get up another rebellion, and
the credit of the Government being ru-
ined, they know that not another dollar
can be borrowed. Thus future rebel
lion is provided for, and its success in
insured in advance, Let the people Of
the nation beware.

Leather Money.

Sam Cary said he did not like green
backs, as they are a promise to pay
money. He wanted the Government
to stamp paper, and say it is money,
and it will be money for all time to
come, and never can depreCiate. He
said whatever is measure of value is
money, whether it be paper, iron, leath-
er, oxen, musket balls, Tobacco, wam-
pun or shells. He said that when you
buy yard of calico you do not care
whether the yard stick is made Of wal
nut Or pine. 1t is the length at which
you look &c. Now if this wise labor.
ing man would only look back few
years, he might remember that Govern
ment did stamp paper, and declare that
it should be legal tender. Yet it did
depreciate, and at one time it took
three dollars of it to buy one dollar in
gold, and It took seventeen ofthese dol
lars to buy a barrel OF flour. Cary is
not a fool. He must therefore be q
knave.

Death of Secretary RaMlins,

Gen. John A. Rawlins, Secretary Of
War, died Of consumption at Washing
ton City last week. He was only about
81 years Of age. He was raised a poor
boy, and had to labor with his own
hands until he was q man. He studied
law, and was practicing his profession
in Illinois when the war commenced.
He was Democrat, but like Stanton,
Butler, and thouSacds of others, when
the party rushed into treason and re-
bellion, he was loyal. He served all
through the war with Gen. Grant, with
much distinction.
Just before his death he remarked
that his greatest regret in dying was
the fact that he left his family destitute.
Here was a man who had held high
position for years, dying in poverty.
Truly there have been some honest men
during all our national troubles. A
meeting in New York City raised SIS,
900 for the widow and orphans, and
some $4,000 more was raised. 1t is
proposed to raise $50, 900.
Mrs Rawlins was absent at the time
Of her husbands death, having been
confined at the house of her relatives in
the East.
