Died.
Haw !!


"HOFFMAN-Nea Ottawa, Kansas. on
Wednesday, August 11th, 1869, Daniel Hoffman,
aged q years.
Daniel Hoffman, the subject of this
notice, was the son of r. G. Hoffman
and nephew of our townsman d. W.
Hoffman. He was born at Jackson,
Jackson county, Ohio, January 22d,
1913. In 1860 he moved with the fam
lily to Steubenville, Ohio, where he re-
sided until about year ago, when he
and an older brother came to Ottawa,
Kansas, settling upon farm about one
and a half miles southwest Of town,
which it was expected by him and the
other members cf the family, who had
been with him for some time past,
should be his future home Here was
his ambition and his pride, He made
every effort in his power to improve,
cultivate and beautify his new home,
aud was succeeding we'll when the sad
accident befel him which cost him his
life.
He was young man quiet and re-
firing in his manners, but his disposi-
ton was so agreeable and manly that
he failed not to make friends with all
whom he met. He was always favor
ite with all who knew him, and his loss
is mourned by host of earnest friends.
He was very exemplary in bis habits
and for some time before his death his
mind had been occupied with thoughts
concerning his eternal well-being. As
stated last week his death is a severe
blow upon the family, and shock to
the entire community, and the annOunC,
ment of his sad and untimely end will
fall with terrible force upon the large
circle of his friends and acquaintance
elsewhere"
We find the above in the Ottawa
(Kansas) Republic. When we were III
partnership with r. G. Hoffman, from
1857 to 1860, our Office was near his
residence, and Dan was mnch about the
office. He was quiet, good little boy,
whose presence in the Office was never
annoying or disagreeable.
We deeply sympathize with the
afflicted parents and brothers of the de-
ceased, in this great bereavement.

Once more the reader proceeds

WEEK before last the Democratic
Enquirer, of Macarthur, had a picture OF
nigger, who had got a Democrat
down. Phe white democrat was rep
resented as dead drunk, aud the darkey
had taken his bottle from him, aud had
it in his, (the negros) POCKET, and Mr.
darkey had his foot on the drunken
Democrat, and he also had musket
in his hand,
The Vinton Record thus comments
upon this fine engraving:
"THE ENQUIRER's 'CoNrRABAND'-
WHAT DOES Ir REPRESENT ?-The Eu-
quirer comes out with a wood-cut in
which it strongly contrasts Democrat
and a negro. What tbs picture repre-
sents seems to bother the patrons of
that paper. One of them claims that
the picture is all right, that it was in
tended to please the colOred people, and
impress their minds that they were
above the white race, while another
that it was all wrong, and an insult to
the Democracy to rake up by-gones by
pcturing negro carrying a musket,
and Democrat lying supineIy at his
teet-that if the negro did do their
share of the fighting, "the Enquirer
needn't throw it up to us" And still
another said he objected to the picture
because the bottle was in the pocket of
the negro, and it was a libel on the
Democrat to represent him as making
no effort to recover it. Said he, "lf
there was but one bottle Bowen might
swear the nigger wouldn't have it,"
Others said it was an Abolition picture,
published by mistakes the negro was
trampling upon one Of the 200, 900 who
sent greeting to their Southern breth-
rem in 1861, and was rushing over his
PROSTATE body "to invade the South, 4"
A suggestion was made that the negro
might be one Of the supervisors elected
by the Democracy of Jackson county,
last spring, trying to force some white
man to work the roads; and dis
heartened brother thought the picture
was like Nasby's letters, Said he, ut
may be a good Democratic picture, but
| believe it will do more harm than
good"
However the Democracy themselves
may disagree upon the merits of this
work of art, we have heard of none
who felt hattered by having their own
county organ represent one of their
number as be meath negro"

The Fifteenth Amendment.

Hon. John Quincy Adams said the
other day to New York Sun "inter-
viewer"
81 think" he replied, "that it will
make but little difference whether it is
adopted or not. It's inconsistent with
the former portion of the Constitution,
and is, therefore, invalid. If declared
adopted, when the Democratic party
comes into power it will simply ignore
it."
That is just what we have always
claimed. Once let the Democratic par
ty into power, and everything done by
the Republicans during the past ten
years will be ignored. Slavery, and
the slave trade, will be restored at once,
The only safety is, never to permit the
Democratic party to gain power.

The editor of the Herald says, in sub
stance, that Judge Plyley did not hold
that the Ordinance against selling pro-
duce without license was void, but that
Gee W. Johnson, as Mayor, miSinter-
preted the Ordidance. This is not true.
We were in Court and heard the de-
cision. 1t was made at the March Term,
1868, and we wrote out a notice of the
decision at the time, in the Court Room,
which was published in the Standard
March 10, 1868. Here is the report
then made and published:
CoURT PROCEEDINGS Robert Aten
vs. The Incorporated Village of Jack
son. Some two years ago last fall,
Aten sold two apples for Ave cents, on
a day when there was a show in town,
There was an ordinance forbiding such
sales on public days, unless permit
should be obtained from the Mayor
For this otfense Aten was fined $50
and costs. A petition in error was
filed to reverse the judgment. The
Court held that such an ordinance was
against public policy, and void. Judg-
ment reversed.
Now this Ordinance was net near so
Objectionable as the present one, as
this only forbids sales on public days,
whereas the Ordinance for which Mayor
Davis and Recorder Connolly appear to
wish to be held responsible, forbids
such sales on all days, whether public
or not.
We remember very well that Judge
PlylSy appeared almost indignant at
such an Ordinance, when he pro-
nounced it utterly void.
We were told at that time that the
Council had repealed it. Now the
editor of the Herald denies its repeal,
We do not know. The records ought
to show, but we are told that some Of
the Democratic Mayors, for some
cause ,have made away with therecords
Mr. Johnson says that the fling at
him, about having sad experience in
misinterproting an Ordinance, is gra-
tuitous and impertinent, as the estate
of Robert Aten has all the cost to pay
in the damage suit growing out of this
case, and that said cost amounts to near
| $500 90.

To the Tax Payers of jackson
County,

Allow me to call your attention to few facts,
The Legislature of Ohio last winter passed q law
authorizing county Commissioners to locate and
construct turnpike roads. To construct and
keep these roads in repair the Commissioners
are authorized to levy tax not exceeding four
mills on the dollar of all the taxable property In
the county. The Commissioners are also au-
thOrized TO issue bonds of said county payable
at such times as they may think advisable.
This law may be good law, and perhaps would
be if Commissioners were always honest men.
But in these days when men work for self in
terest, think the power thus conferred, If II
should fall into speculative hands, would do
great injustice to the tax papers of the county.
Suppose that Messrs. DUNCAN, Davis & Co. wish
to speculate, and should buy Diamond Furnace
farm, and one or more farms, we'll timbered,
beyond there. Suppose that one of these spec
ulative gentlemen should be elected COmmiss-
| iOner.
Having bought these lands for the purpose Of
speculation, and having the power to tax the
people of the whole county to construct turn
pixies, is it not natural to suppose, if there were
any turnpikes built in this county, they would
build them in that direction, In order to advances
the price of their lands.
This would be benefit to Messrs DUNCAN,
Davis & Co., but would it not do great injustice
to the tax payers Of Milton, Madison, Jefferson,
and other townships who would have no in
terest In the road whateVer1 ? The wayfaring
man, though a fool, cannot help seeing that a
speculation of this character is contemplated
Would it not be well that the tax payers should
look to their own interests, and not burden this
county with interest-bearing bonds, in order
that few individuals may be benefited.

Drs. Doddridge & Gotwald perform

Drs. Doddridge &c Gotwald perform
ed post mortem operation upon the
body of Mrs. Thomas Scantlin, late of
the vicinity of Hamden, removing an
ovarian tumor last Sunday. The tu-
NOR was a multilocular formation,
weighing one hundred and fifty pounds.
The sack alone weighed thirty pounds,
and contained four ordinary wooden
buckets full of fluid. This was an ex-
traordinary formation, and has been
growing four years, and had become
so large as to displace all of the abdom-
inal organs. The ribs were railed to
an angle of about sixty-fve degrees,
and the lungs encroached upon, the
lower left lung being in gangrenouS
condition. Drs. Gorsline and Baker,
together with large number of citi-
zens, were present and witnessed the
operation - Vinton Record.

Another Item of Democratic Econ

The Democratic Legislature of last
winter appropriated $92, 500 to pay for
FIVE thousand volumes of "Swan &c Say
lor's Supplement to the Revised Stat
utes"--a work containing twelve hun
dred pages-but after it was printed,
and before distribution, they repealed
four hundred and eighteen pages of it.
Republican extravaganza would per-
haps have repealed the four hundred
and eighteen pages, if they were prop
er to be repealed, and not republished
them at an expense of nearly $8 900;
and especially, as they are accessible to
the public in the annual volumes since
the publication of''Swan & Critchfeld's S
Revised Statutes. Gin. Chronicle.

An Outrage.

At various iron furnaces in Vinton
and Jackson counties, placards are pos
ted up stating that
"All persons in the employ of the
Company are required to buy at the
Company's Store, Those not satisfied
will call at the office and SETTLE"
At the Company's Store, flour is
sold at 80, ,O0per barrel, when it can be
bought elsewhere at $500, and every
other article of provision sold at treble
the profit of other establishments.
The salaries these operatives get is
little enough at best, and by this sharp
practice of the proprietors it is reduced
by exhorbitant charges fully one-third.
When the Gazette realizes its theories
of cheap Chinese labor, between the
competition of the Chinaman and the
extortion of Furnace proprietOrs, the
poor operatives will be ground to death
as between the upper and the neither
mill stones. Chllcohe Advertiser.
We do not know whether there's is
any truth in the above or not. We
never heard of it before But If true,
where is the wrong' Have any par
ticular set of men any claim on the fur
mace companies for employment If
the companies do not suit the laborers,
let them go to some other place to
work We know that labor is in great
demand in this country, and all who
work can get good wages,

Consistent!

George II. Pendleton, when in Con-
gress, voted against and spoke against
the acts authorizing the issue of green
backs or Treasury notes. This he did
on the ground that such acts were un-
constitutional, and that the issue of such
money by the Government was not
warranted by the Constitution This,
be it remembered, was in time Of war.
Now, in time of profound peace, when
there is no excuse for doing what is of
doubtful costitutionality, this same gen.
tleman proposes to pass acts through
Congress authorizing the issue Of 81,
500, 900 of these unconstitutional green
backs. In other words, he advises and
counsels the doing of what he has de-
clared again and again to be unconsti-
tutional To counsel and advise the
commission of an unlawful act is q
crime, What shall be said of the man
who uses all his influence and powers of
persuasion to induce the Congress and
people of the United States to violate
the fundamental law of the land?
