my POLICY" WORKING.

Hayes and his crew have new cause to
be happy. Another id Niger" has
been hung by mob, under the pacifca
tion policy. 1t occurred at Columbia,
Tennessee, this time. Miss Bette Tenn
pleton was the virgin who was outraged
this time. She accused a negro named
Roper, and he was taken in her presence,
but she was not certain that he was the
man. Next morning he was again taken
before her, when she was positive that he
was the man, and she said. "You must
die. Then the mob put rope out Of
the third story window OF the Court
House, and put it around the mans
neck The Cincinnati Gazette "a policy

about the hanging. No cap was put over
the mans face, and when he was hauled
up his tongue protruded from his mouth
his arms were violently thrown around,
he made a gurgling noise as he was slow
ly choked to death. To render the
scene still more edifying to the virtuous
young Bette, the mans pants were
loosened, and fell down over his feet,
and there he was, away up near the win

this state Of affairs going to be permitted
Does any one for a moment believe that
the cowardly timid negroes are roaming

The very fact that no legal trial of such
cases is ever permitted. is conclusive
proof that these charges are as baseless
as the accusations of witchcraft in the
time of the Salem infatuation.
Unless this barbarism is stopped al
once, God, in his everlasting justice, will
once more baptize this guilty nation in
blood.

PERSONAL RECOLLECTIONs.
By THE EDITOR.


My old Sabbath School Superintend.
ent, j. A. Bingham, recently wrote up
some personal recollections about the
early days in this county, and spoke of
Lewis Adkins, Levi Mcdaniel. and 9th.
ers. Some years ago | spoke OF Adkins,
who built the first brick house in this
county, south OF the town OF Jackson.
That was nearly fifty years ago. At the
time of which Mr.. Bingham spoke-be-
fore the old frame meeting Houses-not
churches-were built in Oak Hill, the
Methodists usually held their meetings
at the residence Of Mrs Bellwood, a
widow woman who resided half a mile
east OF Oak Hill.

E. Whitman, and he brings to my recol-
lection the circumstances under which /

at the camp meeting near Cross Roads.

mile northwest of Cross Roads.

Death of Capt. L. N Robinson After
Long Illness.

Captain l.. Newton Robinson, so well
and favorably known here died at six
o. clock last Monday morning, after a long
illness, of consumption, at his residence
west Fourth street. The deceased was a
son of the late j. V. Robinson, Sr., and
brother of L. c. Robinson. He was born
in Cincinnati, March 10Th, 1917, and in
1929, with his parents removed to Ports
mouth.
In May, 1899, Captain Robinson, was
united in wedlock with Eliza Jane,
daughter of the late Joseph Riggs who
survives him.
Four children of the union are living,
three daughters, and a son Frank and
Miss Lucy living at home, Kate, nov
Mrs Harry Willard, Of Jackson county,
and Camille, now Mrs. Eugene Bigler Of
Kansas.
The deceased was a man of untiring
energy, and tact for almost any kind of
business. He operated a foundry, was
engaged in steamboating, commission
business, builder, having superintended
the erection Of the Union Mills distillery
buildings, and was in charge of the mills
and distillery until the breaking out of
the war. Prior to the rebellion he had
| taken an active part in securing the stock
of the Scioto river suspension bridge, the
erection Of which he superintended.
| In the fall of 1861 he recruited Bat
| terry l., with which he served as Captain
until November, 1862, when on account
| of failing health he resigned, and was
honorably discharged from the service
/ Upon his return home be engaged in
boat building. and shortly after removed
to Illinois where he began the life of a
farmer Afterwards he engaged in pros
pecting for oil, but not succeeding in this
| enterprise he abandoned it. In 1868 he
was appointed superintendent of the
Southern Indian Agency, but his service
was of short duration as the office was
| changed by legal enactment He then
located at Emporia, Kansas, as landlord
of hotel, and was elected to the Kansas
Legislature by the Republican party Of
which he was an active member. At the
close OF the session he removed to Ports
mouth, and was nearly two years mail
agent on the railroad and river. In 1885
he received the Republican nomination
for State Senator from this the Seventh
Senatorial District, but was defeated by a
small majority by Hon. !. I. Monahan,
of Jackson. His health, which was poor
at that time was seriously impaired by
his canvass of the district, and the sue
ceeding shock of the sudden death of his
son Harry. Since then he has been a
confirmed invalid, his life gradually eb-
bing away until Monday last when all
that was mortal left its frail tenement of
clay.
Captain Robinson was a man of gener-
Gus impulses, frank and cordial in his
manners, always fond of society and hap
py in the companionship of his friends.
Under all circumstances he had a CHEEKY
word and a pleasant greeting for those
he met, and long viii his memory be
kindly treasured by those who knew him
/ best
The funeral services took place at the
lst Presbyterian Church last Wednesday
and were attended by the friends and
acquaintances of the deceased.-[ Ports.

Last week the U. s. Senate held a con
tinuous session for % hours, and again
held a session up to three o'clock in the
night, when the Hamburg murderer But
ler was admitted from South Carolina,
and VIM. Pitt kellogg, Republican, was
admitted from Louisiana.
Most of the Hayes papers are very bit,
ter against Patterson of South Carolina,
and Conover of Florida, FOR voting for
Butler. They seem to forget that Hayes,
as soon as he had secured the electoral
vote Of South Carolina for himself, turn
ed the State over to the traitor Wade
Hampton, and the murderer of negroes,
Butler. This man Butler came to the
Senate demanding admittance with the
certificate of Gov Wade Hampton in his
pocket-Wade Hampton, the traitor
whom Hayes permitted to drive out the
legal State Government with his Rifle
Clubs--Wade Hampton, the traitor with
whom Hayes and his traitor Postmaster
General travelled and held welded in
tercourse' in their Southern swing If
there is anything wrong in the admission
of Butler, Hayes is the man to blame
not Patterson.

the statement that he, (the longnecked

like to connect himself with some

could give it spice, tone, etc, and rapidly
increase its circulation. We answered

As matter of course, we gave it up.
Because" said he, land here he stop

either case, you would learn that here
lies Tom Ewing'-don't you see?"
We did see-the poker, lying near, and
as we slyly reached for it, the humorist
caught our eye, and snatching a bundle
of our latest exchanges, he rushed out of
the Office. And we are glad that he did
so, for the impulse was strong within US
to kill him.

But few short months ago, the would
be advisers of the President were abus-
ing such men as Blaine, Conkling, and
other leading Republicans, and advising
Evarts, Schurz 4 Co TO cut loose Fl ON all
such "machinists," fight them, and put
them down. There was an attempt made
to purify the party by cutting loose from
the machiuists, or uncompromising Re
publicaDs, and extending the right hand
Of fellowship to the rebels of the South.
But it seems even in so short space OF
time, these great reformers have learned
that there is a God in Israel, a Conkling
in the u. s. Senate, and an immense ar
my of Republicans at Mr.. Conkling's
back And now we have news to the
effect that Mr.. Evarts has signified his
willingness to meet Mr.. Conkling little
more than halfway, in an effort to recon
cile and harmonic their political views
1t would seem that Mr.. Conkling, and
his followers, are abundsntly able to take
care OF themselves.

The Democrats came within one of
having control of the Senate last week,
and excitement ran high for time. The
voting was so close, in one or two irstan-
ces, that the vote of the Vice President
was necessary to decide AS Mr.. Wheel
er cast his vote on the Republican side,
Mr.. Thurman denied his right to vote
under the circumstances. But Mr..
Thurman was convinced Of his error
Mr.. Wheeler declared his intention of
voting in all cases where tie vote in the
Senate rendered 1t necessary; and, on all
party questions of voting with the Re-
publicans
The Jackson standard. [volume] (Jackson C.H., Ohio) 1847-1888, 1877-12-06

Amoug the many things to be thank
full for to day is the exposure of Patter-
sons treachery and the transfer Of that
individual from the Republican to the
Democratic party. Senator Thurman will
certainly eat his turkey with more relish
since he has been able to hug the South
Carolina carpet bagger Gin. Gazette.
Now we are all happy and thankful The
Gazette has been nearly tickled to death
for months past because Hayes went over
to the rebel Democracy, and now it is
doubly happy because the Republican
Senators are following him.

man in the White House, may affect to

last word the attention of all, and it was
full of sentences which will burn like
Greek fire in the ears of every one who
aided in betraying Republican freedom
