Tribute of Respect.

At special communication of Trowel
Lodge No lS2 F. A. N. held at Jackson,
Ohio, committee was appointed to pro-
pose appropriate resolutions relating to
the death of brother William X. Has
tings, which resolutions are as follows,
viz:
WHEREAS, In the mysterious dispensa-
ton Of Providence, our beloved brother
William X. Hastings has been removed
from our midst by death:
ResolUed, That in his death we recog-
nize the loss of a worthy and an efficient
member of our honored and ancient or
der; of a faithful and reliable brother
and of an exemplary and true Mason.
Resolved, That in his death we recog-
nIze the solemn warning to all; that we
should at all times hold ourselves in
readiness for like change; and that
we know not at what hour we may be
summoned by the Grand Tyler Death to
appear before the great tribunal Of the
Grand Master OF the Universe
ReSolrsd, That we deeply sympathize
with the bereaved family of our departed
brother, and would recommend to them
as well as ourselves, the example of him
that we SO dearly loved and admired, in
all that was beautiful, amiable, virtuous
and true in his life. and that they may
be fully prepared, when their time comes,
to enter upon the joys of future exist
ence without hesitation or fear, putting
their trust in God so long as they may be
permitted to sojourn here below.
ResolUed, That a copy of these resolu-
tions be publsed in both of our county
papers, and that a copy of the same be
transmitted to the family Of our depart
ed brother.

and even worse scenes were enacted. At
CoopersvIlle the managers were assaulted
and run off by IL o'clock. At another
polling place both the managers and the
United States Supervisor were put to
fight quarter Of an hour before the
time for opening the polls. At another
the Democratic manager got exclusive
possession of the box, and retained 1t
| long enough to bring about the curious
Jesuit of giving large Democratic ma
iority at poll where ten black RePubli-
cans had voted to one white Democrat.
By these, and similar neiarious ways, the
Democrats made a majority of over 5000
in a district where there are not that
number of legal voters all told. 1t is
significant of one of the methods en-
ployed, that in the State of Georgia.
which this District abuts there were
10000 less votes cast at this election than
at the last. They were sent into South
Carolina and Florida The villainy ol
which this is but poor outline will,
have reason to believe, be fully establish
ed by the reports to be made both by
the United States Marshals and the Off
GERS Of the Regular Army on duty at the
various points. G>N.

Thanksgiving Proclamation.

Under the favor Of Divine Providence
the people of Ohio during the past year
have been greatly blessed. Their bar
vests have been abundant; health
and peace have dwelt by their firesides
law and order have been maintained
education has been free to all the youth
of the State, and civil liberty and the
consolations Of religion have been en-
ioyed undisturbed.
For all these blessings we should be
filled with gratitude to Almighty God.
Now, therefore, in conformity with the
wise usage established by our fathers. !,
Rutherford B. Hayes, Governor Of the
State of Ohio. do hereby designate Thurs
day, the 30th day Of November, A. ID.
1876, as a day of Thanksgiving to God,
and do recommend that on that day the
people abstain from their usual avOca-
tions, and devote themselves TO ap-
propriate expressions rejoicing and
thankfulness, not forgetting out OF their
abundance to succor the needy and com
fort the unfortunate.
In testimony whereof. have hereunto
set my hand and caused the great seal OF
the State OF Ohio to be affixed, at COlum-
bus, the 9Th day OF November, in the
year of our Lord one thousand eight
hundred and seventy-six. and in the one
hundred and first year OF the Independ-
ence OF the United States OF America.
By the Governor.

as they have ever since the election.
The excitement which prevailed during
the first week succeeding the election
has largely subsidized. the sober. thinking
class OF people having settled down to
the conviction that as fair a count will be
made in the doubtful States as is pOssi-
BILE under the circumstances. The
efforts OF certain journals and dema-
gogues to influence the passions and to
fan the existing excitement into civil
war, should receive the indignant con
demnation of every true patriot There
exists, in all nations, class of unprin-
cipled demagogues, who never hesitate to
use any means offered to secure their
own ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, and who would just
as lief plunge their country into civil war
as not. We have had war enough.
There is no occasion for it now. All the
differences at issue can be settled peace.
fully, unless the people listen to the
clamors of an element always dangerous
| to the peace of the country.

THE SITUATION.

Every paper has an article under the
above heading.
In South Carolina the returning board
made a count Of the votes, and without
throwing out any county, Hayes had
majority. In the count for Governor and
members Of the Legislature, the board
threw out the counties of Edgefield and
Laurens, where the negroes were not per-
mitted to vote, and this gave Republi'
can majority in the Legislature and
elected Chamberlain, Republican, foI
Governor. The Supreme Court of the
State attached the members of the board
for contempt, and put them in Jail. A
habeas corpus was issued by a U. s
Judge, and the members Of the board are
out of Jail. The rebels were about tc
seize the State Government, and Gram
has sent troops to Columbia. The Legis
lature met on Tuesday, and great excite
ment prevailed.
In Florida the count of the votes com
menced on Monday, and will perhaps
take a week to get through.
The count in Louisiana cannot be com
pleted short of the 5th of December.
The rebels are hunting for a stray vot'
some where, but they seem to be unfor
tunate. Even the State Of Kentuck!
must be thrown out, if parties are per
mitted to 60 behind the returns. The!
voted viva roee there, and no elector
were voted for.
We do not know who has been elected
No one will know until the official coun
in Florida and Louisiana shall have beer
completed.

FATAL AccIDEET-News come to us
from Vanceburg, KY, of fatal accident
that occurred there recently, by which a
young colored man OF 20 yevrs, known as
Black Bob Green, was instantly killed by
Moore, a white lad of fourteen.
1t appears that the two were playing
with each other, and finally Black Bot" /"
jerked the boys hat and ran off with it.
The latter picked up fragment Of brick
and cried out to Bob that he would hit
him if he didn't stop. Bob turned his
head in the direction of the boy and told
him to throw. He did throw, the missile
striking Rob in the temple, killing him
instantly Bystanders say that not a
muscle moved when be iell, but that
death was instantaneous.
Moore had a preliminary examination,
but was not held to answer in the courts,
as it was proven that he had no intention
to hurt the deceased, or even did not
expect to hit him.-[Portsmouth Times.
II has come to pretty pass when a
person can even be arrested in Kentucky
for killing niger. OF course the MUIR
derer was not held to answer.

We exchange with a paper called the
the Clermont Sun. 1t has patent in
side and rebel outside In the last
number it has an editorial which closes
in this style:
Business is at stand still all over the
country-the better class of Republicans
acknowledge Tildens fair election, and
il the treasonable conspiracy continues to
count out Mr. Tilden and prevent his in
auguration-then we judge the aroused
indignation of the country will be felt in
a way and manner not very pleasant to
the scoundrels stiffling the honest ex-
preston of the ballot box.
We are opposed to what is known as
,"bulldozing;" yet wise man once re-
marked, "a saddle for horse, bride
for an ass, and a rod for fools back"
Now about thirty-nine lashes with cow
hide or a hickory wythe on the back of
the fool who wrote the above, would be
its best answer

CASTORIA

II is a mistake to suppose that Castoria Is not
adapted TO grown persons as well as children.
They only need to increase the quantity. But
children have so many complaints for which
Castoria IS adapted-lixe Wind Collie, Sour StO-
mach, Worms, Tetter, Teething and Croup,tha
Il Is especially recommended for them.
Its effects are more certain than Castor OIL.
IL contains no alcohol and Is as pleasant to take
as honey. II never gripes. By regulating the
stomach and bowels Castoria cools the blood
expels worms and prevents feverishness, quiets
the nerves and produces health-then OF course
children can sleep in quiet and mothers can
rest.
Castoria IS recommended by all-physicians
and nurses who have tried Il, and II is having
n rapidly increasing sale. II is prepared with
great care after the recipe Of DIR. Samuel Pitch
er, Of Mass, at the Laboratory Of j. B. Rose
Co., 90 Dey Street, New York.

Intimidation in Louisiana

Democratic editors have feasted with
good deal OF satisfaction on some of Mr.
Redfield's letters to the Commercial from
New Orleans. Here is an extract from
one of his dispatches of the 23d inst, to
which the attention of those who profess
to want a fair and honest count, is di-
rected:
Tonight | spent some time at the
Custom house, reading the latest afhda-
Wits made. Nineteen men were all busy
copying afidavits, which will give you
some idea Of the magnitude Of the
business. Two copies are taken OF each
affidavit-the original q for the use of
the Returning Board, one copy is for the
Northern visitors, and the other for filing
away. These documents arenot printed
blanks, as has been supposed, but each
case is written out from the statement OF
the witness. They vary in length from
two pages Of legal cap to ten. Some OF
these sworn statements are simply horri-
BILE IL they can be sustained, the Dem
ocratic goose is cooked. No party can
afford to have a President elected by
such means Most of the affidavits,
while not detailing horrors, yet show
plainly enough that there was systematic
| intimidation. The most horrible one in
/ the lot is the affidavit OF a woman, who
swears that on Saturday before the elec
ton. in Ouachita Parish, her husband
was taken out of bed at night and mur
dered because he had been an active Re
publican. His body was savagely mu
/ tilated in her presence. and her baby
/ taken from her arms and its throat cut
/ The rufIians said they wanted to finish
/ the stock. She was herself severely shot
and cut. She gives names and details
with particularly.
Gentlemen in charge tell me that there
are vet thousands of affidavts to come
all setting forth the facts Of intimida-
| ton, and some of them detailing brutal
outrages. The magnitude and interest
involved are stimulating the most search
ing inquiry

WAR.

The rebel Democrats are terribly ex
ercised because Grant has his eye, upon
their movements, and keeps the army in
hand We think Grant would be fully
justified in calling for volunteers.
The Gallipolis Bulletin, published by
j. l.. Vance, member of Congress for this
district, says:
The Democracy of Portsmouth held an
impromptu mass meeting on last
Wednesday, and resolved that i'm the
event of the House throwing out the
Electoral vote of any State, fraudulently
counted against Tilden and Hendricks.

treasure. This is the temper of the
whole Democracy OF the country, and il
we don't get fair play there's business
ahead. They don't propose to have Til

must it be Hayes, whether or no"
The same paper, same issue, says:
The question of whether "a National
debt is a National blessing" or not. has
often been argued We believe that at
this moment it is, to US, a blessing The
Bondholders and Capitalists are not going
to let horde of thieving office holders
plunge US, through their rascality and
greed for spoils, into another war. A
civil war, that would plunge every town
and township into strife and bloodshed
would not argue very strongly for the
possible payment of any debt now exist

Samuel j. Tilden has been elected

duties OF his Office.
The above appeared in the Portsmouth
Times Of last Saturday. We have no

under big rooster, that the election in
Colorado had resulted in Democratic
victory. 1t has never yet taken back

The Jackson standard. [volume] (Jackson C.H., Ohio) 1847-1888, 1876-11-30

A few hours after the polls closed on
the 7th, the Democrats all over the coun-
try commenced yelling that Tilden was
elected, and they have kept it up ever
since. When they commenced this brag-
ging, they had no means Of knowing who
had been elected. They do not know
now, although it has been three weeks
since the election. Their game is to
swear Tilden was elected, and then if he
is counted out. they will declare ii is a
fraud. in order to justify their contem-
plated rebellion.
