THAT EDITORIAL CONVENTION

We had intended to publish what
Bowen had to say about the editorial
convention at Macarthur in September
last, but as Raper has also told what he
knows about it, we refrain. 1t seems
that Bowen went to the Exposition at
Cincinnati, and Raper was the only thing
in the shape Of an editor present. and he
claims to have been at Macarthur on
business. Raper says it is none of our
business whether or not he pays for
Bothwell's wine upon which he gets
drunk We did not care about that
Athens drunk, until Mr. Boutwell, wrote
two or three communications for the
STANDARD, seeming to think that he who
danced should pay the fiddler, or, in 9TH
or words, that he who got drunk should
pay for the wine.
We stated two or three years ago that
the good old Ohio Valley Editorial Union
was played out. 1t fell into the hands
of few miserable little creatures, with
whom no editor who had any self respect
desired to associate. That last effort, at
Macarthur, proves the correctness of what
we asserted. Two or three of these little
creatures had the impudence to present
themselves among gentlemen, at the edi-
torial convention at Columbus last snm-
mer; but no more countenance was
shown them than if they had been con-
victs just released from the Penitentiary.
We presume the Ohio Valley Editorial
Union will never be heard of again, only
as a thing of the past.

REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CoNvEN-
TI0N.

The Republican Convention to nomi-
nate a candidate for President is called
by the proper committee. and will meet
in Cincinnati on Wednesday, June IA,
1876. Now let The papers put up their can
didates. We are going to support the
nominee of that convention, whether it
be Halstead, Grant, or any other rnan.
Our candidates come in the follow ing or
der. Morton. Blaine, Hayes, Bristow, or
any other Republican. We are not par
ticular. We do not like Grant so well
as the others He has been too lenient
towards the rebels. We believe that any
of the others named would keep the
screws a little more securely frightened
down on the Democratic traitors.
Our old friend Halstead seems deter
mined TO have Grant to run for the
third term but we do. not believe he is
in earnest. He wants tc be a candidate
himself With his valuable aid the late
Horace Greeley made so splendid a race
on the homel lstretch, that he desires to
see another able editor try his speed and
bottom.
If the Republican convention will
nominate Halstead, he shall have our
able support.

ATTEMPTED THEFT.

Some time ago we mentioned that the
publishers of Democratic papers had
sent bills to Columbus for publishing the
proposed amendments to the eonstitu-
tion Of Ohio, to the amount Of over S22,-
600. This is one Of the most outrageous
swindles that was ever attempted upon
the taxpayers Of the State. 1t is nothing
less than an attempt to consummate
gigantic theft. The Cincinnati Enquirer
charged over two thousand dollars and
scarcely single paper charged less than
from one hundred and fifty to four hun
dred dollars for this fourth column ad-
yertisement for six months. There is
not single paper in the State of Ohio
that would refuse this advertisement if
offered at fifty dollars. Not one.
We are in favor of paying full prices
for advertising. We generally endeavor
to charge full rates for advertising. In
the year 1867 we published the celebrated
negro voting amendment for six months
andw it as nearly as long-a good deal more
than half as long, as the late proposed
amendments, and we charged t,renty dol
lars for IT, Now we are informed by DR.
A. B. Monahan, who has examined the
bills in Columbus, that certain little
rebel sheets in this part of the State
which have much to say about Republi
can dishonesty, have put in their bills
for this work at Sl70. Now if the State
of Ohio will furnish US advertisements t
take the place Of the sixteen columns W.
usually devote to advertisements, il car
have all at the rate of $50 for the amoun
of space occupied by these amendments
and we will agree not to advertise TO
any one else. We will refuse all Sheriff
sales, Commissioners reports, delinquen
lists, &c This one-fourth column ad
vertisement for six months at $50, woulC
be S400 hundred per column per year. o
81, 200 for Is columns per year. Blu
these petty Democratic swindlers wh'
ask 5000, for column for 6 months
would receive for their entire advertising
space for one year, the enormous sum o
t2S, ,000l Do you not see the enormit
of the attempted swindle
We are rejoiced to state that when tn
partial appropriation bill came befor
the House last week, with 1000 in j
to pay these swindlers. that, on motio
of Mr.. Entrekin Of Ross county, it wa
stricken out. Let these Democrat
publishers be paid a fair, full price 70
the work they have done. But whe
they attempt downright theft, let ther

The murder Of Whyland by Davis. at
Chicago, on Thanksgiving Day, was un-
der circumstances OF peculiar atrocity.
The murderer had previously assaulted
a young man in Whylands saloon and
hurt him severely. Whyland ordered
him out Thereupon Davis shot him, in
hicting a fatal wound These, we be-
lieye, are ell the material facts in the
case. The plea was set up that Davis
was laboring under a fit Of temporary in
sanity, and, as our dispatches have al
ready stated, the jury disagreed. IL was
fitting accompaniment OF the result
that two murders should follow in quick
succession. This plea has its place un-
doubtedly. Men may kill at a time when
they are irresponsible for what they do;
but for such men there is only one place
the asylum. The other evening. in q
New York hotel, a man named Dilleber
was shot dead by one Dillon. There
was absolutely no provocation. lt Is
said now that Dillon has been "queer"
for some time. and that his actions have
often alarmed his relatives Then. why
in the world didn't they lock him up7
What excuse can they give for allowing
this animated package Of dynamite to
parade the streets, putting in jeopardy
the life of every man he meets7 Why
should not they be held to the rcsponsi.
bility they deny Dillon possessed
But the case Of Davis at Chicago was
unlike this. He was simply a wild. reck.
less hummer, a man who held life cheap
/ II il suited him TO take il. lie say he
was drunk. Well, we suppose he made
himself drunk lie could get drunk az
any time he had a grudge 10 crafty.
| That was no excuse Ills Temporary in
sanity was only the madness OF a man
who has given loose rein 10 his passions.
/ Ii was no more insanity than any ebulli-
tion Of rage is insanity.
OF course while iuries are made up as
they are there is no recourse against
such results as this But they will set
people TO questioning more earnestly
than ever the general method Of jury
trial, and may incite people TO ask wheth.
er the bloodthirsty outlaws who plead
temporary insanity as an excuse for their
murderous deeds should not be put in a
straight jacket where they have no long
ysms of rage.
We believe the above is from tho Gin.
cinnati Times IL will not do to charge
juries with the responsibility. All intox
ication Is insanity, and there are hun
dreds Of maniaes in Cincinnati every day
and no one seems to care about IT, We
confess that IL those who sell liquor, and
those who drink to insanity, should kill
only each other, and not meddle with
innocent persons, we would be pleased
to hear Of the good work going right
along.

1t will never be forgotten now religious
the copperheads were during the Demo
cratic rebellion.
Last week when the rebel Ben Hill
was making his speech in Congress, and
talking so finely about the Christian reb-
els, Mr.. Blaine came at him in this style;
Mr.. Blaine asked him whether he had
not been a member of the Confederate
Senate.
Mr.. Hill replied that he had been.
Mr.. Blaine then proceeded to quote
the resolution offered in the Confederate
Congress, by Senator Hill, of Georgia, to
the following effect:
THAT every person pretending to be a
soldier or officer of the United States,
who shall be captured on the soil of the
Confederate States after the rst Of Janu-
ary, 1868, shall be presumed to have en-
tered the territory of the Confederate
States with intent to incite insurrection
and to abet murder, and that unless sat
isfactory proof be adduced to the contra
ry before a military court, before which
his trial shall be had, he shall suffer
death"
He asked Mr.. Hill whether he was au-
thor of that resolution.
Mr.. HILL will say to the gentleman
from Maine very frankly that have not
the slightest recollection of hearing it
before.
Mr. BLAINE-You do not deny it2
Mr.. HILL do not know. My own
opinion is that never was author Of that
resolution, but / have no recollection of
it. If the gentleman can give me the
circumstances under which it was intro
duced may recollect.
Mr. BLAINE-On tine lst of October,
1862, the Judiciary Committee OF the
Confederate Congress made a report and
offered series of resolutions, and there
upon Senator Hill, of Georgia, is record
ed as having offered the resolution which
have just read.
Mr.. HILL was Chairman of the Ju-
dietary Committee in the Senate, and,
very likely, like the Chairman of tho
Committee on Rules at last session, /
may have consented to that report.
Laughter, at the expense of Mr.. Blaine.
Mr.. BLAINE-Does the gentleman ad-
NIT that he made that report2
Mr. HILL do not know but that it
is very likely. Derisive laughter on the
Republican side
Mr.. BLAINE-The copy which have
quoted from is entitled, "Republicanism
in America" / wish to know whether
the gentleman was the author of that
resolution.
Mr.. HILL really do not recollect.
Renewed laughter on the Republican
side.
Mr.. BLAINE (persistently)-If the
gentleman does not say that he was not
the author Of it
Mr.. HILL do not; but / think i
was not the author of it.
Mr.. BLAINE-I thought that, as the
gentleman's effort was to show tho hui
name character of the Confederate Con-
gress, this might aid him in remembering
the facts.
At a subsequent point in the debate
Hill admitted that he had reported this
resolution to raise the black flag, and put
all American soldiers to death who were
caught in the Confederacy. And John
L. Vance sat there and voted with this
savage and his rebel crew! There are
hosts Of small politicians, and Democrat.
ic editors, who would walk twenty miles
in winter if they could get the privilege
of kissing the-great toe-or anything
else, about this rebel Hill.

A negio named Crow killed a white
man named Valentine Kessler, with a
knife, Sunday evening in Cincinnati.
The Coroners jury wound up the yer.
dict by "deprecating the carrying of con-
cealed weapons capable of destroying hu-
man life. Very good; but people will
not begin to consider this suggestion un-
til the law begins to deal summarily
with such murderers as Egner, Mr.. Crow
and others. Let il. at once be under
stood that hanging for murder is not
played out, and the practice Of carry
ing concealed weapons will cease.
We find the above among our clippings
but we do not remember from what pa
per it is taken. We wish to say that it
was not the carrying of concealed weap-
ons, but the carrying of bellies full of
whisky and beer, which caused these
murders.

Hiram Stewart, the man hurt at the
melee at Robinson's saloon died Thurs
day afternoon at half past one, after four
or five days of the most intense suffering
during which time he was under the in
fuence of medicine to keep him in such
state of quietude as to be manageable.
Brooks one of Robinson's bondsmen ap-
peared before the Probate Court Wednes-
day evening and was released from the
bond and Gabe johnson and Lawrence
James were placed on the bond in his
stead. Robinson left in a few minutes
afterward, whether permanently or not
is not known. This is bad, bad case
indeed, and is sorely lamented by every
body, yet il is q natural result of dog
gerry life, and those who engage in the
nefarious business may expect just such
trouble.
The above is from the Ironton Com
mercial. Robinson has been rearrested
and brought back. The murders COM
mitted by drunken men since the end of
the crusade are increasing in fearful
ratio. They now average in the United
States fully score a week, and drunk
enness Is rapidly progressing. without
check or hindrance any where. When
will the end come, and what will it be :?
