The CONSTRUCTION Once More.

Some Constitutional lawyer, the Co.
lumbuS Journal, we believe, has discov-
cred at this late day. that protective
tariff is unconstitutional. We had
thought that the good old constitution
had been sufficiently brought into con.
tempt by the pro-slavery rebels, and
their Northern allies, the Democrats.
1t was unconstitutional to abolish Sla-
very; it was unconstitutional to put down
the rebellion, or to preserve the conSti-
tuition itself. And now it is unconsti-
tutional to legiSlnte for the general
welfare" Of this country. But is not
this constitutional tomfoolery about
played out!

Progress.

Ten years ago, one man and two
boys could generally do all the work
necessary to be done in the STANDARD
Office, and the paper was published for
$3.50 per year. Now there is plenty
Of work for Ave men and one boy, and
it costs between three and four thou
sand dollars to pay for work done in
the Office. And we are not yet con-
tent. We intend to rent an additional
room, get another job press, and have
one room exclusively for job Office,
and the other for the newspaper office.

Ohio Legislature.

The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad in.
vited the members of the Ohio Legisla-
Iature to take q free ride to Washington
City, and that Honorable body are of
on big drunk. But they adjourned
first. .. s
The scene in the Legislature on Sat.
urday night was the most disgracefu
ever witnessed in that body Of drunken
men. Could woman suffrage make
matters any worse!
Here is what the Columbus CORES,

CLOSING SCENES IN THE HOUSE. 'g
The closing scenes Of the Legislative
session, on Saturday night, was proba'
bly, unparalleled by anything ofthe kinG
ever known In the history of Ohio
The regular report of the House pro,
CeedingS, which l send you, convey
but a feeble idea Of the tumult and dis
order which prevailed from . till II
O'Clock, nor does the language cited as
that of the different persons who partic
ipated 10 the debate at all adequately
portray the fierce heat and acrimony o.
the speakers. Several times the Ser
geant-at-ArmS was compelled to forci'
bly, conduct the excited members t
their seats, and more than once it seem
ed probable that there would be a gen
eTal knock down fight. Faces flushed
to the last degree Of redneSs contrasted
strongly with faces pale as death, ant
Parr, Of Licking, in his pass with hir
brother Democrat, McVay, uttered
shocking blasphemics and oaths.

20 aThe Woman's Rights Meeting, nj
Marshall Hall, Friday evening last was
q failure--a fat failure--every way you
may look at it. Mrs. Longley's speech
was full Of errors, badly delivered, and
abounded in false teachings, which, il
adopted, will shatter one-halfthe homes
in this land. Miss Bates speech was
in much better taste. The audience
was slim--l9 females, about twice as
many curioHs males Financially-thoy

In the same number of the Register in
which the above appeared, were over

The Concert.

Last Monday night was extremely
untavorable, being dark, rainy, and the
streets muddy. Yet there was a pretty
good crowd at the Court House. The
music was good-the best that we have
had at this place. Mr. Lewis is quite
young looking man. He would not be
taken for a man over thirty, yet his
daughter is in her nineteenth year Mr..
Lewis is a fine looking man, and speaks
English well. He has a magnificent
voice. Miss Lewis, his daughter, has
an innocent, sweet, sad countenance,
and her voice can best be described by
the same words, Miss Hartley's per-
formance on the harp and organ were
good-very good. aa. .af 1"
Taken as whole, the performance
came fully up to our expectations, We
can recommend this troupe to our
friends in Portland and Centreville
where they will perform during the
balance ofthe week, as we'll worthy Of

The Defeat Of Geo. W. Julian.

We can not join with those who re.
jsice over the defeat Of this faithful vet
eran in the cause of freedom in his ef-
fort to obtain a denomination from the
Republicans of his district Weregret
that the battle-scarred soldiers of the
war against the slave-oligarchy, to
whose faithful and heroic resistance the
nation owes its present high moral po-
sitiou, should at last fall by the hands
of enemies even in the house of their
friends. Mr.. Julian had been faithful
to the cause of justice, liberty and 10y
atty from first to last. He has never
faltered nor wavered, He has been
ever watchful of the public clands, always
contending against the schemes of land
plundererS and mopolists, and contend
ing that the public lands should be sa-
credly set apart to become free homes
for the pioneers who should go forth to
settle upon and improve them. And
we have no doubt that to the machina-
tiOns of land-grabbers he is largely in
debted for his defeat. But Mr.. Julian
has left his impress upon the Legislation
of his country, and which he may ever
reflect upon his record with satisfac tion
and honest pride" ...
We find the above in the Toledo
Blade. We agree with every word of
it Mr.. Julian was true to the cause of
human freedom long before those who
now Supercede him, had one word TO
say for the cause, lin fact while they
were bowling "abolitiOnist" on the
track of such men as he. Foremost
among those who have done their ut
most, and gone out of their way to do
it, is that renegade and faithless sheet,
the Cincinnati Gazette.

Hon. JOHN 7. WILsoN.-In our issue OF the
30th ult, we called Mr.. Wilson's attention to tho
fact that his vote against xpelllng Butler tcharg-
ed with selling cadetship) was being criticised,
with the desire that he might be advised and
have an opportunity toexplain. The testimony
in the case shows that Butler did notsell or offer
to sell a cadetship; but received money to 10
expended In the district for political purposes,
the vote OF censlire which Mr.. Wilson with 9th.
ers cast, will be considered as severe enough
Indeed, to man of a very fine sense Of honor,
the censure would be as humiliating rs expul-
sion. Butler acted injudiclously in receiving the
money, even to spend for political purposes but
in view Of Its being an accepted custom, the vote
of censure will be deemed sufficient Tebuke.-

The Ohio Legislature passed law
establishing Soldiers Orphans Home,
aud Gov Hayes sent in to the Senate
the names Of the Managers ofthe same.
The Democrats, true to their natural
hatred of the Union Soldiers, and their
destitute orphans, voted steadily against
the confirmation The vote was tie,
aud confirmation defeated, until Sena-
tor Catch, who was at home iu Xenia
was telegraphed to come at once to Co
lumbuS He got out Of bed, and at 9]I

thus giving the last finishing stroke in

of the friends of the rebellion.

MRs. Dull Green, or some such fine Ia

be seen by the following dispatch from
Washington City:
"a movement in opposition to wo-
mans suffrage has been quietly making
progress, until it has eliminated in an
organization called the Anti-l6th
Amendment Society. Two meetings
have been held at the residence of Ad-
rniral Dahlgren, and a memorial drawn
hp by his wife is circulating in social
circles, and will ultimately be laid be-
fore Congress. 1t has been signed by
a number of ladies of high social
standing 1t expressed the alarm which
its signers feel at the proposed 18th
Amendment, and their belief that the
agitation waged by a small minority oi
their sex must prove in every sense in
furious to their truest interests"

Let such demagOgues as the COlum-
Journal, that talk about being friends
of the people, remember that last year,
in the little county ofJackSOn, the man
ufacturcrs of pig-irOn paid more to men
for labor, and farmers for produce, than
ell the tariff collected on imported pig
iron. Still, they waut the laboring
men thrown out OF employment, and
sixty millions of dollars collected from
them for the tea coffee and sugar they
use. Let the laboring men, the poor
men, the farmers, Jet all arouse them
selves, and see where these friends Of
British capitalists, these enemies Of
American labor, would land them.
