NOTES ON JACKSON COUNTY.

In the year 1856 R. NJ Stimson OF Ma
rietta was publishing the Ironton Regis
ter. He then intended 10 publish a
book, containing history of the iron
region of Southern Ohio. He requested
us to furnish some sketches of jackson
county. DIR. Hempstead was to do the
same in Scioto county, while Mr.. Stim-
SON was to write up Lawrence himself.
We furnished him some so pages of
"Notes on Jackson County" coming
down to the close of the year 1858.
Mr.. Stimson bought the Marietta Reg
lister and removed to Marietta, and soon
afterwards the war came on, and his his
tory was postponed, if not abandoned.
About the time we were writing these
notes, we became editor of the STANDARD.
and during the past seventeen years we
have published much that we then wrote,
but in disconnected shape. As many
of our readers are new subscribers. we
have concluded to run these "Notes, y
with additions, through the paper during
next year.
Last week we wrote to Mr.. Stimson for
the manuscript, and we now have it. We
will commence it the first week in JAN
uary, and when we shall have published
what we then wrote, we will continue the
"Notes" down to the present time. Many
matters of interest have taken place in
this county during the past seventeen
years, embracing the war period.
As mentioned q short time ago, we in
tend to visit every locality in the county
during the year, and write up its early
history. progress and present condition
and prospects.
These articles will be entirely local,
and contain much in the way OF biogra-
ply Of the early settlers and present res
idents.
Those desiring all these Notes,
should subscribe at once.

Those Republicans who voted for
Vance no doubt feel proud of their work.
Rebel soldiers are being put in Office at
Washington, and the traitors who aided
and assisted in the death of hundred
thousand loyal men-the same traitors
who urged on the assassin who murdered
President Lincoln, will soon be pensioned
by a. Democratic Congress.
A dispatch in the Cincinnati Gazette
says
The Democratic movement in the
House against disabled Union soldiers on
the rolls of its employees continues. Capt.
Ball, one of the door-keepers, who had
lost an arm in the service, has been dis
charged and his place filled by an ex-
Confederate officer. The colored woman
who for many years has had charge of
the ladies retiring room on the House
side, has been dismissed and her place
given to the widow of an ex-Confederate
To-day, in the House, Mr.. Cox, of New
York, introduced resolution declaring,
in substance, that as the war was over
the claims of the Confederates for posi-
ton under the government were as good
as Union soldiers. This was unexpected
by Cox, and was criticised as grave mis-
take by the war Democrats on the floor.
1t was provoked by resolution of Fort,
of Illinois, declaring that Union soldiers
had the best claims to recognition from
the government. While this was an awk-
ward subject for the Democrats to vote
on, Cox's attempt to better the situation
was not regarded as success. Mr.. Hol-
man, of Indiana, was the only Democrat
who took position against Cox's bill
There are eleven more disabled Union
soldiers on the rolls of the House, and
there is general searching of hearts on
the Democratic side as to the best means
of disposing of them.

DAYTON & SOUTHEASTERN r. R.

We have been requested to publish
two articles from the Dayton Journal in
reference to this road, but want of space
compels US to omit them. One is an an
swer to the proposition of the S. J. d P,
to unite. The Journal says that this
proposition is impracticable, and the
principal reason is the much lower grades
on the D. & S. E. road, by which they
can take coal north and west cheaper
than can be done on the sleeper grades
on the s. j. & P route.
We learn that the contract for the con-
struction af the D. & S. E. road has been
let, at the extremely low figure of s., zoo
per mile.
Now we will have just what we have
always desired, two rival roads into the
great jackson coal region.

RANDOM THOUGHTS.
BY THE EDITOR.

At the close of the year want to talk
q short time with my subscribers; but
before commence 1 will copy an article
which found in the Quadrat, paper
published in the interest of newspapers.
1t is published in Pittsburgh. Here is
the article:
SUBSCRIPTIONS IN ADVANCE.
I'm our last number we had q word to
say In regard to the above subject, and
since its publication having had occasion
to visit printing offices in several of the
Western States, the financial condition
in which we found many of them con-
firms US now fully in the belief that pub
fishers should make some united effort
to place their affairs in such a condition
as to enable them to promptly meet their
business obligations, and at the same
put themselves in q position to enjoy
some of the ease and comforts of life
which their constant and laborious ef-
forts to amuse and instruct the public
entities them to. This end can only be
accomplished by the publishers adopting
some plan whereby the small sums now
due them from their subscribers can be
collected. In our opinion, the most
speedy, and in fact the only practical
plan to convince patrons that it requires
money to issue newspapers is to stop
their paper after due notice has been
given, if all arrearages are not paid up,
and in future only send to such as appre-
ciate the paper to be of sufficient value
to pay for it in advance. There is not q
newspaper published in the West which
has not from five hundred dollars to as
many thousands due them, from subscri-
bers, and they are perfectly good, too
could they be individually called upon
for the small sums they owe, but they
are scattered over such an extent of ter
ritory, that to see each and every one of
them would cost more than the amount
of the Indebtedness, to say nothing of
the time and trouble required to accom-
plish trip of this kind.
mo intelligent people can do without
their local paper, and no intelligent sub
scriber will object to paying in advance
the small amount his paper costs per
year, if the publisher has the manliness,
and sufficient respect for his business, to
say that he must positively have the price
of his subscription to enable him to trans
act his business with credit to himself |
If there are any such subscribers, the
publisher would be much better off did |
he decline their patronage. Did the pub.

DEMOCRATIC swINDLE.

One of the meanest things that was
done by the late Democratic Legislature
was submitting the two amendments to
the State constitution, in order to get
lot Of new Offices created for the benefit
of hungry Democrats. and to put large
amount of the peoples money into the
hands of the halfstarved editors of little
shabby, patent Democratic papers.
The cost to the people in the way of
advertising these amendments in the
Democratic papers of the State, was over
t.oenty-t,oo thousand dollars. Nearly all of
them charged price which amounted to
absolute stealing. The highest charge
was made by that pink of honesty and
retrenchment, the Cincinnati Enquirer
It charged 81. l79, which was about six
dollars per square for each insertion.
That was about twelve times as much az
the usual rates for legal advertisements.
Several of these Democratic papers
charged between three and four hundred
dollars.
The Marietta Register has this to say
about the great Democratic swindle:
From the day when the State of Ohio
paid for towels and wine to inaugurate
Gov Allen d Co., to the end of Demo
cratic rule in the State, extravaganza
follows the party. Last winter they sub
mitted two amendments. and provided
for advertising them in Democratic pa
pers of course. We got none of the sop

two thousand dollars were paid. Think

a good thing One Gilbert Haven, a
Bishop of the n. E. Church, at a meeting
of ministers in Boston, praised President
Grant for protecting the colored people
of the rebel States, and ended his speech
by nominating Grant for third term.

the nomination. Now you ought to see
the rebels throw themselves back upon
their launches and howl. They say the

But the truth is, while but few Aethodists
are rebels, they act just act like any other
citizens, and do nothing politically

most of the ministers. and many
of the laity, think that Bishop Haven

Yet he has the same right as any other
American citizen, to express his prefer

We have received from the publishers
of the Cincinnati Times, copy of their
Illustrated Hand book for 1876. 1t is a
useful and valuable work.
A circular sent with the book, among
other things says:
We need hardly say to printers and
publishers that its elaborate compilation,
numerous fine engravings, stsreotyping,
and printing on extra tinted paper, have
cost US vast amount of money, as well
as thought and labor that can not be
measured by dollars and cents.
A copy of this valuable book is given,
free of all charge, to every one of the
100, ,458 subscribers of the Weekly Times,
at an expense to us for postage alone, at
eight cents each, of $8,036 "a. Thus
every subscriber to the Times, in addi-
ton to getting his paper as cheap as any
other frst-class paper can be obtained,
gets book, sent hundreds, and even
thousands of miles, to his very door, and
worth seventy-five cents or dollar.
