Letter from Judge Evans.

BRooKLYs, N. Y, May 20, 1876
To the Editor of the Standard:
To-day being Saturday, and that there
was not much to be done in the Assem-
bly, this forenoon, and no session to be
holden in the afternoon, Mr. Mundel of
Ross county. Ohio, Mr.. Hoffman and
lady of Mendoza, Ill, Mr.. Granny, of
Northern Ohio, and myself, ali being
boarding together, concluded we would
visit the Greenwood Cemetery. which is
about two miles from our quarters. We
took the street cars and arrived there at
9 o'clock this morning, and engaged at
the entrance a fine carriage. with driver
to drive US around for two hours, and of
course we thought we would get to sec
all in that length of time but when we
began to behold its extensive walks and
drives, its numerous lakes, its beautiful
mounds delightful shrubbery and trees.
we were amazed The scenery is truly
sublime, but the thought, yea the fact.
that it is the home of the dead-the de-
parted, fills The mind and heart with
solemnity. and the magnificent
and costly vaults-the monuments
of the highest order of artistical
design and workmanship, reminds US
that the rich and the poor are equally
under the control of the monster death !;
that the millions of wealth will not save
from his cold clutches. All it can do is
to beautify the last resting place of its
possessor and indeed we can truly say
that an exhibition of its ability and power
in the direction of the highest order may
be seen at the Greenwood Cemetery. The
costly vaults and elegant monuments of
almost every design imaginable, are so
numerous that it would be folly for US to
even approximate their number; but wo
might mention some Of the most promi-
nent, to-wit: Lorenzo b. Shepard, a phi
lanthropist. His monument was erected
by subscription, in memory Of his excel
lent qualities as a man. The French
family, Stephen Whiting, Kingsland,
Hitchcock, Everett, Scribner, a very ele-
CANT monument. The Canda Monument
who came to her death by falling while
getting out of carriage i'm the Cemetery

and very suggestive in its design. G. X.

Delegates to the Cincinnati National
should remember that the
Ohio State election next fall will be one
of the most positive signs of the times;
that the Presidential election will, in all
probability, be decided by the Ohio cleo
ton in October. Let us suppose the Re-
publicans to nominate Blaine. We may
pretty certainly countupon it then that
the Democrats will nominate Tilden.
Now imagine Carl Schurz in Ohio in Au-

State for Tilden and against Blaine

Andrew Roy, State Inspector of Mines,
is out in letter, in which he attacks
Gen. Grosvenor for his speech last fall,
arraigning old Bill Allen for his conduct
in sending troops to make war upon the
miners. Mr.. Roy compares the conduct
Of Governors Allen and Hayes, and init.
mates that the cases are similar Now
Mr.. Roy must be very ignorant man, or
q very small demagogue.
Gov. Allen ordered his private secre-
tary to go at the head of the militia to
Athens county. at the request of a coal
company, when the striking miners had
violated no law, and when the Sheriff of
Athens county had assured the Governor
that he. (the Sheriff. could enforce the
law. This conduct of Governor Allen
was in utter violation Of the constitution
and laws Of the State, and his oath Of
Office, and no Democratic paper, or Dem.
ocratic speaker, dared attempt an answer
TO Gen. Grosvenor's speech.
Gov. Hayes did not order troops to
Massillon until the striking miners had
beaten and nearly murdered at least one
man, and in other ways committed Peni-
tentiary offenses, and openly defed the
civil authorities, and until he was called
upon by the Sheriff of Stark county for
aid. Then, and not till then, did he
send the Adjutant General, lawful
officer, with troops. Gov. Hayes acted
in strict conformity to the laws OF the
land.

RAILROAD MEETING.

In pursuance of notice given last week,
large meeting was held at the Court
House on Wednesday night of last week.
The Jackson Cornet Band volunteered
their services, and rendered efficient aid
in gathering a crowd. Levi DUNCAN was
called to the chair, and Davis Mackley
was appointed Secretary. The Chairman
briefly stated the object of the meeting,
and introduced Hon. James Emmitt,
President of the S. J. & P. r. r., who
encountered in getting as far along as
the present situation. He gave an ac-
count of the contract with the Western
Construction Company, and how they
failed even to pay their hotel bills. Mr..
Emmitt admitted that he had at times
much to discourage him, said if the
stockholders cannot raise the money to
pay their subscriptions, the company
will take their notes, payable in six,
twelve and eighteen months. The com
pany, by indorsing these notes, can raise
money on them to complete the road.
Several other persons spoke, and
among them Senator Monahan, who said
that he would be frank and say that the
people had been disappointed to think
that men so shrewd as the Directors
wereiknown to be, should have been so
easily duped as they were by the West
ern Construction Company. The people
were not able to pay their subscriptions.
He could not pay his, and many OF his
neighbors were in the same condition.
After general interchange Of views
and opinions, the meeting adjourned,
without having taken any definite &C
tion.
