BLOODY WORK

There was a sickening atiray Friday /
night OF last week, in Valley township,
the correct particulars of which are hard
to sift from the conflicting rumors. As
far as we can learn, the facts are these:
John Martin, a married man, with two
children, formerly of jackson county,
but more recently of Harrisonville, in
this county, had moved on the farm OF
Geo. Cutlip, near the old camp grounds
His character for sobriety has heretofore
been good, but it seems that he fell into
bad society, that of William and James
Hughes, Of Pike county, and the trio
drank to excess at the old Scioto Inn
tavern. kept by one Martin Davis. About
ten o'clock on the night of the 9TH, they
left tho saloon, and proceeded home
wards, evidently in good humor. When
near the camp ground James Hughes
and Martin got to wrestling, and the lat
ter was thrown. IL is said as he sought
to regain his feet, he jestingly said he
would kill James, and then he remem-
bers nothing further until he awoke
| from a stupor and found himself danger
ously hacked with a knife. He stagger-
ed to his feet and discovered that he
was one mile and half from home, with
/ FIVE wounds which were bleeding pro-
fusely. One dangerous stab in the back,
and others in the breast, arm and thigh,
and abdomen, from which latter wound
the bowels were protruding Faint from
the loss Of blood, he proceeded on his
halting journey, arriving at the house Of
a Mr.. Wills, but a half mile distant from
the scene of the cutting, at daybreak.
Here he said he had been in a drunken
fracas and was badly cut, but did not
show his wounds. Mr.. Wills did not
know he was a neighbor, and Judging
him to be a tramp, told him he had bet
ter move on. Martin then walked home
a distance of one mile, reaching there
about nine o. clock and is now prostrated
most likely on his death bed, as his ply.
sicans yesterday morning entertained
grave doubts of his recovery. Jamei
Hughes acknowledges to giving three
wounds, and, it is said, claims to hay,
tried to cut Martins throat As yet M
arrests have been made, but friends o
the unfortunate man have come dowI
from Jackson, and talk OF prosecuting
the would-be murderers, who are despe
rate characters. VIM. Hughes is mar
of family, and it is said is not the despe

We never had any doubt that the
Democrats would re-establish slavery if
they were not prevented by military
power. The following, from the Colum-
bus Journal, is proof in point:
SLAVERY E-EsTABLIsHED.-TheC Confed-
crate party has re-established slavery in
Alabama. An existing law of the State
provides that negroes convicted Of minor
offenses may be sold to the highest bid
der and made to work out their penalty.
The following advertisement is from the
Oxford Gala. Tribune:
800 REwARD-I will pay the above
reward for colored boy named Aaron
McKinsay, who ran away from my place
last Saturday night, the 26th inst. Said
boy was sold at auction for stealing $40
from the Woodstock Iron Company's s
store, and was bound to me for five
months nine days and half hard labor
to cover damages. TAYLOR DEANoN."

The Annual Report of the Commits
sioner of Railroads for Ohio shows that
only few OF the companies paid any
dividend on the stock. But few miles OF
road were constructed during the year,
while both the gross and net earnings
fell off many millions. If our farmer
friends, the grangers, continue their
work only few years longer. they will
have accomplished that which we pre-
dicted they would in the beginning. The
most of the railroads will be abandoned
and the days of pack-saddles and rude
sleds will return-those good old times,
when there were no "monopolies.

The class of correspondents that most
newspapers employ in their Washington
business, can not be expected to know
much of the constitutional structure of
the government. The reports they send
at short intervals of the Presidents de-
termination as to interfering in Cuba, or
as to granting the insurgents belligerent
rights, and SO on, indicate that, in their
idea, the President is AZ absolute in these
matters as the Russian Car. They seem
to be unconscious that this is a constitu-
tional representative government, and
that the Constitution has placed in Con-
gress the war power, and that the Presi-
dent has no power to do anything with
regard to Spain or Cuba save by the au.
thority of Congress. Whatever we may
do as to Cuba must first be authorized by
Congress; therefore, we may be assured
that it will be preceded by due delibera-
tion. Cincinnati Gazette.
We are astonished that the Gazette
should be SO ignorant as to publish the
above. 1t should remember that the
war with Mexico was commenced by the
Executive authority, during the recess of
Congress, and without any authority
whatever, granted by Congress Now
suppose President Grant, who is com
mander-in-chief of the army and navy,
should come to the conclusion that the
condition of affairs in Cuba required our
naval force to be sent there. Has he not
the constitutional power to order it
there2 Suppose that it should be sent |
under such circumstances that Spain |
would be compelled to order our vessels
to be fired upon. Would not Congress
declare that war existed by the act of
Spain? That was exactly the manner in
which the President commenced the war
Igainst Mexico, only it was land, in
tead of a naval force, that was sent to
invade Mexico. I.

And still the rebel Democracy are not
happy. When old Bill Allen was inau-
gurated Governor of Ohio, the people of
the State had to pay for seven or eight
hundred yards OF crash to make towels
to rub the old fellow down, and many
other luxuries were purchased for the
occasion. Now Gov. Hayes goes into
Office in a quiet. simple, republican style,
and the rebel papers object to it.

George Putnam, an old, respected and
wealthy citizen of Athens, was killed by
a freight train on the Marietta and Gin
cinnati Railroad, one morning last week.
He had been in low spirits for some
time, and his family had some solicitude
about him on this account. He arose
very early, and going upon the railroad
track, was killed. There is a suspicion
that his mind was diseased, or he would
not have remained where he was certain
to be killed. lie was great-grandson
of General Israel Putnam, of the ReVo-
lutionary War.

Some weeks ago we received copy OF
paper called Stewards Coal Trade Jour

coaking apparatus at Vinton Furnace.
Most OF it was the article which we wrote,
and publishad in the STANDARD. Some
of it was changed, but most of it was our
article word for word. The Scientific
American of Jan. Is, 1876, contains a
portion of the same article, and credits
il to the coal Trade Journal Both pa
pers contain a very correct engraving
of the Vinton Coke Ovens and ma
chinery.
We are sorry to say that since our arti-
Gle was published, we learn that the coke
made by this process at Vinton Furnace
has failed to make good iron.
