OH FORGET ME NOT.

In all your future care or woe,
When Heaven shall richest gifts bestow,
And you shall joy and pleasure know.
Oh! forget me not.
Though others shall unfaithful prove,
And nothing serves their heart to move,
Then, by our early, tender love,
Oh forget me not.
Our hearts are now united fast,
And may our friendship forever last
Then. by the memory Of the past,
Oh forget me not.
Though should be forgotten, yet
| never can my love forget,
Then, by the hour when first We met,
Oh forget me not
In youth, in manhood, in age;
Even when we've reached this lifes last page
And storms shall all around us rage,
Oh forget me not.
Though many miles divide US, still
Ny love for you my heart shall fill,
And as We journey up life's hill,
Oh forget me not.
When am dead and laid to rest,
Ny spirit, which your love has blest,
Will whisper still, within your breast,
oh forget me not.

The statute was revised and amended
that year, and hogging now comes in
from simply not having been mentioned
in the new enactment. We apprehend
Warden Innis is mistaken about .fogging
having prevailed in the prison before his
introduction into his Office We have
ascertained that during the administra-
ton of General Walcutt there was not a
single case of fogging; the nearest ap-
proach to it was the slight application of
small shingle to boy prisoner, sixteen
years old, by the Deputy-an act which
the Warden pronounced against, and
said must not be repeated. We are not
so thoroughly advised of other admins
trations; but may mention as probable
specimen brick case in which Colonel
Burr discharged a faithful guard for
striking lightly with a small cane pris-
oner who had been guilty of the same
ofense as Hiding out.
Again the reporter says;
"Innis finds himself in position about
as undignifed as that of commander OF
man-ofwar lashing the cat around the
bare body of common sailor. If he pro-
poses to keep up this degrading kind of
punishment, he should delegate some
able-bodied guard skillful in the manipu-
lation of barrel slaves"

Mr.. Pendleton in his speech at Gallip
oils, said:
1.-THE expenses of the Legislature itself
were more than $4,000 less than in the
former years.
He was speaking of the Democratic
Legislature. Mr.. Furay, writing from
Columbus to the Cincinnati Gazette,
gives a few figures from the records,
which prove that Mr.. Pendleton was
talking about matter of which he was
ignorant. or else he was lying. Mr. Fu-
ray says:
"Now an accurate calculation and ex-
animation of the original documents,
shows that during the twelve years the
Republican party held power, the average
contingent and committee expenses of
the General Assembly amounted to
81, 1852 l2yearly; while during the four
years Democracy ruled, the average
yearly contingent and committee ex-
penses amounted to S4,176 Al. In other
words, the Democrats expended for the
above purposes, more than three and a
half times as much as the Republicans.

any one year under Republican rule was

Thus there is under admirable Dem
ocratic legislation no punishment what
ever for pecuniarily irresponsible persons
committing minor criminal acts, unless
they choose to first render themselves
responsible by fleeing from the county u
But perhaps the most inexcusable blum
dering of all the pieces of legislation by
the last Assembly, was that in reference
to the township ditch laws. This law
was passed April Is, 1874 q. P. I24), and
contained two sections, 16 and II, which
are identical with sections and of the
act April 80, 1869, 'authorizing the build
ing and repairing of levees to protect
lands from overflow" and which the
Supreme Court of Ohio, on the 18th of
December, 1874, while this very Demo
cratic Legislature was in session, pro-
nounced unconstitutional This was on
the ground that the kind of jury provi-
ded for in the levee law was not jury
within the meaning of the Constitution !;
yet that very sort of jury was almost i'm
mediately afterward provided for in the
Democratic ditch law. Notwithstanding
this, the Legislature, at its last session,
not only did not remedy the defect, but
on the Sth of February, 1875 a., p. 30),
made it still worse by leaving the jury
otherwise as it was, and authorizing two
thirds of it to make finding and report.
So that in the face of decision of the
Supreme Court, pronouncing the law un-
constitutional, they amended it by put
ting in still more hopelessly unconsti-
tutional clause.
By this culpable negligence the mate.
rial interests OF farmers, the wages of la.
borers earned in making bitches this
year and last, and the public health and
welfare, are seriously jeopardized in al
least forty counties of Ohio, that many
having taken action under this criminal
ly unconstitutional law.

They are having quite a sensation
down at Sciotoville. The Fire Brick
Company at that place have been boring
for gas, and at depth of 1.0S5 feet gas
was reached, which rushes out, and when
fred makes fame twenty feet in length.
They intend to run their engine and dry
their bricks. with heat produced by burn
ing this gas.
About two years ago, when there was
talk of erecting gas works in jackson,
Seneca w. Ely. of Circleville, wrote an
article for the STANDARD, in which he
claimed that natural gas could be had
much cheaper here, by boring into the
black shale, than it could be made in the
usual way. This discovery at Sciotoville
confirms his theory.

Thomas Patterson, candidate for Au-

and is so popular in his own township
that he has been elected to township
Office. although there is Democratic
majority of nearly or quite thirty in the
township. As to his qualifications for
the office, there can be no question. He
is school teacher, and we have the
means of knowing his qualifications,
having been one of the School Examiners,

the Republicans all over the county see

run up into the hundreds.

A week or two ago we heard Demo
crat remark that he believed all who were
in any way connected with the last Leg
islature must have been drunk. He said
some bills had been passed and never
signed by the proper officers. some had
been signed by the Speaker of the House
and President of the Senate which had
never been passed, and it appeared that
even the book binder must have been
drunk, as the copy which he had receiv.
ed was bound with the cover wrong end
up.
Mr.. Furay, Columbus correspondent
of the Cincinnati Gazette, has been max
ing some researches which go to confirm
the opinion of our Democratic friend.
He says:
One of the most astonishing laws ever
put upon the statute books of Ohio or any
other State, is that of March 80, 1875 o.,
p. 153,) relating to the improvement of
streets in cities of the second class with
population of over 81 900 (Which means
only Columbus), although the Supreme
Court would pronounce the act uncon-
stitutional if it said Columbus, instead of
pointing it out by this miserable phrase
ology. This act gives unlimited authori-
ty to board of five citizens to impose
assessments upon property-owners, and
the bonds they issue are, in utter viola
tion of the Constitution of the State,
made free from taxation. Thus the
Democracy, who have perpetually howled
about the now undisputed right of the
national government to make its bonds
exempt from taxation, have enacted that
bonds issued to improve the streets of a
city shall be so exempt, in clear and di-
rect violation of the second section of the
eighth article of the Constitution of
Ohio
The Legislature of 1873 enacted, April
20 e., p. 19I,) stringent and effective
law against gambling. This law the late
Democratic Legislature, by its act of
March II. 1875, e., p. 50) utterly emas-
culated, weakened and destroyed. Un-
der the law of 1873 gambling was pun
ished with fine and imprisonment; un-
der the Democratic act it is fine "or' i'm
prisonment. Under the law of 1878 the
gambler had to give security for fine and
costs; under the Democratic act he only
gives such security in case he is convict
ed of cheating at gaming. Under the law
of 1873 property leased for gambling pur-
der the law; by the Democratic enact
ment this liability is entirely taken
away. Thus the law has been changed
SO as to make it in all respects just what
the gambling fraternity of the State
wanted, while the law Of 1873, approved
by nine-tenths of the people, is rendered
utterly nugatory and void
AS if the legislation in favor of gam
bling were not enough, the Democratic
Assembly tried it's hand in weakening
the laws against other criminals, and
whether Intentionally or through the
same laundering carelessness that char
acterized all its proceedings, actually so
changed the law of April 7, 1868, Is. and
S. 6l0) that criminal convicted OF a
minor offense and fined, can not be COM
mitted to Jail in default of the payment
of such fine, unless he first fees from the
county wherein the offense was commit
ted, and is then pursued, arrested, and
brought back thereto. Il. 1875, p. 53).

Some of the natives of jackson county
are being promoted in the West. Some
time ago we spoke of one of our nephews,
DIR. Jacob NJ. Boyd, who is now Sheriff
of Baker county. Oregon. On last Thurs
day we received letter from another
nephew, Henderson Massie, of Carter
county, Missouri, which closes as follows:
81 hope you will not think 1 am boast
ing, or anything of that sort, when tell
you that 1 have had the honor of being
elected Judge of the County Court OF
this county. 1 was elected last fall, for
term of six years"
Boyd and Massie were both born on
our fathers old homestead, half mile
southeast of Jefferson Furnace, in this
county.

ocratic rule was 81 ,643 40.
THE total legislative expense under
the four years of Democratic rule was
SIC, T05 81, while the total expenses un-
der the last four years of Republican rule
was only half as much, or IS, 429 25.
"In addition to the above facts, it may
be remarked that the appropriation for
Legislative expenses at the recent session
was exhausted the day after the Legisla-
ture adjourned sine die, since which time
authenticated claims of that class to the
amount of several hundred dollars have
been presented and remain unpaid.
What these may amount to can not now
be stated, so that the average Legislative
expenses for the four years of Demo
cratic rule will really amount to consid
cradle more than that given above"

Gov. Allen commenced his speech at
Gallipolis by toadying to the Methodists,
who kindly permitted him to speak in
their tent. The report in the Cincinnati
Gazette says:
Gov. Allen took his position on the
stand, saying that he first desired to re-
.urn his personal thanks to the church
through whose kindness the Democratic
party was afforded so magnificent can
vass under which to hold the meeting of
to-day. 1t was the first time in all his
life that he remembered of having SO
beautiful and so commodious place in
which to hold meeting that was intend
ed to be an open air one, and he wanted
again and again to return his thanks to
the Methodist Church for it"
He had not quite so good an opinion OF
religious people when he was aiding and
abetting the rebellion, by making speech
at Hamilton, September 10, 1863, in favor
ished traitor. In that speech Allen
said: ft~r
Lincoln has shed enough blood to
float the Great Eastern, and how much
nearer the end does he get His cry is
still for blood. The administration stands
on tip-toe every day, with its eyes dis
tended and its arm stretched forth, call
ing for more blood and more money.
And their preachers-those Chicago
priests that went to Detroit to get Lin
coin to bite the forbidden fruit, to COM
NIT the first act, the initial sin. by the
publication of an act emancipating the
slaves. These priests 1 would-like to
have met these fellows; they went down
canting and whining, their mouths all
the way watering for the blood of the
people. Every one of them thought that
God had made it his special business to
go and beg Lincoln to commence the
business of numbering the American
people"

1t is amusing and very edifying to hear
comments on the journalism of this city.
One Republican thinks the Tribune,
though an excellent family paper, and
steady and reliable as an old wheel-horse,
too backward in the political field. That
it is inconsistent with Macs dignity and
love of quiet to make the paper politi-
cally red-hot; that Major Flick is too
anxious to preserve his universal popu-
larity to descend into the basement OF
the political arena Hence the Tribune
is staid. dignifed journal, whose col
umns are toned to suit those who love to
see truth in a garb which is generally
pleasing.
The same Republican thinks the news
paper of that name too Ishmaelitish il
its tone.
While it sometimes makes excellen
hits and commendable points, at thu
same time, it attacks men of its own par
ty without just cause, and turns friends
into foes. The editor is too much in

and to hold the members of his party t.

We learn from the Ironton Democrat
that some men met in saloon in that
place about eleven o'clock at night, when
Henry Adams, one of them, proposed to
go down to the wharf boat and lick a
man named Atherton. The party went,
and Adams knocked Atherton down, and
a man named Brawley kicked him
Atherton commenced screaming "mur-
der" and cutting his assailants. Adams
came out with his bowels protruding
through one of his wounds. Perhaps
the next time he goes salooning at night,
he will not be quite so keen to lick some
