Southern Standard: Mr. l.. B. Cash, of this county, has left at this office some Indian relics, which he dug out of mound on his plantation on the De Grae. They are made of some sort of clay, which had been moulded into vessels, two of them as jugs or bottles, one as a bowl or cook ing utensil, and one of them to represent some kind of an animal. The three former are in a per feet state of preservation, but the head of the latter has been broken of. It was evidently In tended to represent a water yes sel. Fragments of a human skull were found in close proximl- ty to these relics. They will be turned over to Gen. McMillan, the archeologist of the state, to be exhibited at the centennial.

by reason of the finance question. On the other hand the Democrats lost largely in this city on the School question, and the same causes, producing the same result were at work all over the State. As the Cincinnatti Enquirer apt ly puts it: "The Democrats were defeated, not BECAUSE OF, but notwithstanding their currency platform" In other words, it was bigotry, not reason that defeated them. The republicans will have the legislature the coming year They will be responsible for the Legislation. They will have the opportunity to wrestlc with the Ge9han and temperance laws. No matter what action they take they will lose votes, which the Democrats will pick rp. Times are getting ''no better" very fast. This won't hurt the Demo- cratic party. Money is, and will be getting scarcer. This won't help the Republican party. The Democrats of Ohio took a stand for "honest money for the bond holder. With them honest money means legal tender greenbacks. They declared against National money, and in favor of legal ten ders instead, and more-not less of them. They did not declare in favor of an ''irredeemable rag money,' for they propose to make the greenback as good as gold by q natural, not q forced process. On this platform they boiled 292, GOO votes or nearly 10000 more than they ever boiled before, not withstanding the loss of 30,000 or 10000 on out side issues. They are beaten but not discouraged. Next year they will be found de lending the rights of the people as they dld this year. Then out side issues will be dead. The people will be called to decide up on the main questiol-whether they or the National bankers and bondholders shall govern this country. They will then decide by a majority reaching far in the thousands, as they would have done thIs year had it not been for outside issues, that thcy,-tne people-shall rule. Let our Southren brethren make their note of this fact and govern them selves accordingly. Ohio votes first next year as she did this year. "As goes Ohio, so goes the Union." Ohio can be easily carried by the Democrats oh the currency issue next year. On any other issue it will be difficult to carry it. The Democrats of Ohio are in earnest on the greenback question. They mean what they say and wish it to be so understood. Their battle cry next year will be the same as this year. It is this: "More greenbacks and fewer National bank notes." That battle cry will win.

THERE is no truth in the state ment first published in the Chica- go Tribune on authority of its sensational correspondent in this city, that Mir. Hutchins has nego- tiated for an interest in the New York World, and all subsequent repetitions, notifications and en- largements of the story are equal ly without foundation in fact. We embrace the first opportunity of giving the report an emphatic denial, which is due to the pro prieter of the World no less than to the other gentleman imagina- lively associated with Mir.

SCOTT BROS. & co.
NJ. Stlefel & Co,

This is the season OF great arrivals in the
clothing line, but nowhere have we seen goods
arriving in such quantities as at NJ. Stiefel &
Cos White Corner. We found the sidewalk
blocked with boxes Of goods, the draymen un.
loading more, and when we asked If they were
not about done they told US they had over car
load yet to bring down! Then We thought Of
looking inside to see where they intended to put
them all. We saw one OF the handsomest store
rooms Ia the city-leng and well lighted at both
ends, and clean and neat as q parlor; but when
we looked for the room for the new goods we
had to give up the conumdrum "where will you
put them" Every place was literally as full as
it could hold On entering we we're met by
great piles of oyercoats OF all possible sizes, COL
oIs, grades and styles, at all prices from IS up
wards In fact one can set his own price and get
handsome coat for about whatever he pleases.
Then we went on past stacks OF pants, vests,
coats, etc, for mems and boys wear, counters
were filled, shelves full and drawers fullin fact,
the most complete stock they have ever brought
to Ottawa, who have brought so many fine
lots. Fine dress suits, cheap suits, business
suits and at prices lower than ever. This
fine assortment needs only to be seen to be
appreciated-it recommends ITSELF The prices,
too, are lower than ever A fine dress suit of
coat, pants and vest, can be bought for from $40
to S25, and every piece warranted.
Then there were trunks of the best make and
OF every shape and SIZE valises, etc. at which all
travellers should take look before making a
purchase.
Then the chldren's department! Messrs. NJ
Stiefel IL Co. will surely have the blessing Of
every fond parent in the county for relieving
them of so much of the responsibility of look
ing after their children's clothes. AS before an
nouneed they have built a new room especially
for the little ones department, and it is fully up
to all their promises
Then there were gents furnishing goods
shirts, collars by the million, neck wear, cuffs
all of the latest patterns; and hats and caps
gloves, mittens, etc, etc. They wanted us to ex-
anime the stock, but we told them we must be
gin with the week and so be able to make an un
interrupted job of it. What with the goods in
side and the great piles coming and already ar
rived, but not opened, we were, said, at loss
to see what could be done with them; but they
told us they were brought here to be sold and
not slowed away in drawers and shelves; and
they ,ciN sell them. NJ Stiefe & Co. have already
been known for their low prices, and as they are
now selling their goods cheaper than ever our
readers can expect great rush in that direction
next week.
