"For long time we have not ex
changed with the jackson STANDARD.
We missed the STANDARD, and thought
time after time that we would renew the
exchange. but neglected to do so. Last
week we folded Father Mackley up a
paper and sent to him, and received the
STANDARD in return, which we hope is the
beginning of the renewal OF the long and
friendly exchange OF the STANDARD and
Defender. We like the STANDARD be-
cause it is outspoken and candid, and
says what it thinks in homely language"
- Vest Union Defender.
And we like the Defender because it
never attempts to sail under false colors.
We think it never took much stock in
the Greeley rascality, by which the Dem
ocratic party undertook to steal into
power by pretending to acquiesce in the
work done by the Republican party. II
we are not mistaken, the Defender was
an outspoken pro slavery, damnigger,
States Rights rebel paper first, last, and
all the time Give us an honest, out
spoken rascal, in preference to your
sneaking hypocrite.

Gen Grosvenor, member of the Ohio
Legislature from Athens county, raised
the scalp on old Gov Allen last week.
The following is the brief report of the
matter, as found in the Cincinnati Ga
zette:
"Mr Eshelman moved to take up the
general appropriation bill Carried.
MIR. Grosvenor offered to amend by
striking out the words while under or
ders' in the appropriation to pay the
troops called out during the Nelsonville
trouble, and insert called out by the
Governor at the request of certain coal
operators of the Hooking Valley, for the
purpose of menacing and terrifying the
miners of said valley, and forcing them
to submit to the introduction of new and
cheaper labor to the exclusion of the la
Dor of the old miners.
Upon this amendment Mr.. Grosvenor
took the floor, and proceeded to make
an incisive speech, showing up the utter
inconsistency of the Democratic position
in regard to what was done by the troops,
at that time The Democrats, pitching
into the President OF the United States
on account of his use of the military in
Louisiana, were confronted by the fact
that Governor Allen, of Ohio, was just as
prompt in the use of the military to sup
press disorder as ever President Grant
was. This, in itself, was not discredita-
ble to Gov. Allen; but when he was ask
ed concerning the matter. through res
olution of the House OF Representatives,
he sought to evade his own record and
sustain the onslaught he had made upon
President Grant, by declaring, in reply to
the House resolution, that he had not
called out any troops in Ohio at all.
Mr. Grosvenor reviewed the whole
history of the Nelsonville transaction,
and showed that troops at Cincinnati, at
Chillicothe, and at Athens were ordered
under arms, were held under arms, were
instructed what they were to do, and
where they were TO 90, were inquired oil
to their ammunition and equipments,
and were as much called into the public
service, and for a time held in 1T as
though they had been taken a hundred
miles from home. The correspondence
bet'veen the commanders OF the troops
and the Executive Department was read
by Mr.. Grosvenor, and commented upon
in the severest style. lie said the pre-
varication of the Governor, into which
lie allowed himself to be driven in his
attempt to sustain his own message
against President Grant, was one of the
most pitiiul exhibitions of partisan ma
lignity and shorssig ighted duplicity that
the annals OF politics have produced. 1t
is indeed a piIiful exhibition to see the
Governor of Ohio going back upon his
own record, and seeking to misinterpret
and falsiiy his own acts in order to sus-
tain the small point which, in his mes
sage OH Louisiana. he tried to make
against President Grant. 1t is q Gov
ernor seeking to discredit his own dis
charge of what he considered his sworn
duty in order to sustain II miserable par
tisan attack upon the President.
Afternoon Session.-Mr. Grosvenor
continued his speech arraigning the
legality of the Governors action, and
denouncing it wi tn vigor and power.

The Ohio Senate last week passed a
bill in favor of the beer jerkers. Here
is the report of the matter, taken from
one of the daily papers:
Mr.. Morris's Senate bill TO prevent councils
from prohibiting the sale of ale, wine, beer and
porter, but giving them permission TO regulate
the sale of the same, was passed.

Democrats in the affirmative, with the excep-
tion of Curtis, Republican; Republicans in the
negative, with the exception of Buel, Demo-

prohibition friends will again work Wig
orously for the success of the Democratic

We have so often remarked, and called
attention to the fact that nine out of
every ten witnesses in our courts, talk so
that half the jurors cannot understand
them, thlt we notice all we see written
upon this subject.
The other day we came across the fol-
lowing which is pretty good
"At late criminal trial both Judge
and counsel had a deal OF trouble to
make the timid witnesses speak suffi-
ciently loud to be heard by the jury and
it is possible that the temper OF the
counsel may thereby have been turned
from the even tenor of Its way. After
this gentleman had gone through the
various stages of bar pleading, aud had
coaxed, threatened, and even bullied
witnesses, there was called into the box
young hostler, who appeared to be SIM
plicity personified Now, Sir" said the
counsel, in tone that would at any 9TH
er time have been denounced as vulgar
ly loud, Il hope we shall have no diff
Guilty in making you speak out" 81
hope not, Sir" was shouted, or rather
beloved, out by the witness. in tones
which almost shook the building and
would certainly have alarmed any timid
or nervous lady. "How dare you speak
in that way, Slr?'' demanded the counsel
please, Sur, l can't speak any louder, y
said the astonished witness, attempting
to speak louder than before, evidently
thinking the fault lay in his speaking
too softly. pray have you been drink
ing this morningY' shouted the counsel,
who had now thoroughly lost the last
remnant of his temper. Yes, Sur" was
the reply "And what have you been
drinking?' "Corfee, Sur" And what
did you have in your coffee, Sir?' yelled
the exasperated counsel. "a spune,
Sur" innocently bawled the witness, in
his highest key, amidst the roars of the
whole court-excepting only the now
thoroughly wild counsel who flung down
his brief and rushed out Of court.

RAILROAD PROSPECTS.

Every day some one asks US what we
think about the Narrow Gauge Railroad.
We have come 10 the conclusion that the
enterprise will fail
The city of Springfield made great
fuss about the road, and her citizens en-
gagged to furnish S350.000 of the stock
1t was resolved not to do anything until
SS50,OO0 was secured. or course this
would not be much over half the amount
required, but the plan was to expend
that amount, and then the company
would have an amount of work done that
would be a security to the lender, and
money could be borrowed to complete
and equip the road. The amounts were
assessed along the line, sufficient to raise
the required amount jackson county,
the poorest of any, raised her amount,
S75, 900 in two or three days. The books
have been open nearly two months,
but no other point, we believe, has raised
its quota, and of the S350000 allotted to
Clarke county. only about 100000 has
been raised. The last Springfield Repub-
lie contains list of 334 names of sub
scribers The largest subscription is
$4,000, the next is $4,000. and the next
"a 900. OF the 334 subscribers, 1l0 only
subscribed $50 each, while LOG only sub
scribed 500 each
The Report of the Auditor of State
shows the valuation of property in Lick
township, and the Corporation of Jack
son to be only 81 ,296, ,7l0. while in Spring
field township, and Springfield city, it is
$l2, ,224, ,002, or nearly ten times as much
as in jackson and Lick township. II
jackson and Lick township could raise
S80,0O0 in one week, on basis of mil
lion and quarter of property, Spring
field township should surely raise $780,
900 in two months, on basis of nearly
twelve millions and quarter. Calcula'
ting the subscriptions with reference tc
the means of the two points, if jackson
could raise $4,000, Springfield should
raise S75O,000 instead of S350,000, while
she has only raised 100000.
1t was the distinct and express under
standing, that not dollar was to be cx
pended until all of the SS50,000 shout
be secured, and we protest against any
expenditures being made until the
money shall have been secured. Let M
subscriber pay dollar until fully $3.50,
900 shall have been subscribed by re
sponsible parties. The miserable failure
of the Gallipolis and Macarthur Ioat
should be warning against commencing
road without means.
In another article we give our opinion
as to the cause of the failure of this grea
enterprise If we fail now, we will per
haps have to wait many years before w
get railroad.

We found the following in the Brown
County News last week:
Occasionally a hot-headed editorial knight
down South attracts attention by the extreme
nature OF his views and sets the Republican
press of the North 10 bowling. But we will
agree 70 erect n church in Seaegambia if any
Southern editor his columns with greater
piece of asininity, stupidity and treason than
the following from the Jackson (Ohio) STAN
| DARD:
Louisiana is the furthest from being sover-
eign State of any one in the Union. She was
foreign Province when purchased with the
| money of the Nation. She was q conquered
Province when she had been subjugated by the
National arms, after the Democratic pro-slaV-
| cry rebellion. She should be held as con-
quered Province until all the Democrats are
either shot, hung, or until they die Il natural
death. There is no safety in any other course"
The high-minded patriot who writes this Is
| Davis MackIey. We saw an intimation the
other day that the fool-killer had been fozen
| 10 death during the recent cold snap in Minnie
sofa. The fact that Maclzley is still alive GER
tainIy gives color to this painful rumor.-Cfn
| Enquirer.
We do not exchange with the Cincin-
natl Enquirer, and consequently do not
know whether the above is correctly
copied or not 1t contains Democratic
1
lie, of course.
Here is what we said, and it may be
| found in the STANDARD of Jan. 81, 1873:
If Louisiana is q free and sovereign State,
what is a conquered province ?-CTcleriue Dem
| ocFdL
| Louisiana is the farthest from being sover-
eign State of any one in the Union. She was a
foreign province when purchased with the
| money of the Nation. She was conquered
province when she had been suhjugated 10y the
| National arms, after her Democratic pro-slav-
cry rebellion. She should be held con-
quered province until all the old Democratic
rebels are either shot, hung. or until they die a
natural death. There is no safety i'll any other
| course, "Free and sovereign State" Bah!
You will notice that we spoke of ''the
old Democratic rebels but the Enquirer
quotes US as saying "all the Democrats. "
Now if the Enquirer will admit that "all
the Democrats" are "old Democratic reb-
els" we have no more to say.
We are personally acquainted wi n one
of the editors of the Enquirer. When
we knew him he pretended to be Re-
publican, and was mixed up in that Sic

writer of the above lie.
