JURA FULLERTON.

"At one time last week it did look as
though Mr.. Fullerton would be Topped
off the Democratic ticket for Probate
Judge and an older and more experienced
head substituted but different counsels
prevailed and the child was retained on
the ticket. IfFullerton had ever had any
experience before any Justice of the
Peace, we could see some plausible ex
cuse for his getting the vote of the De
mocracy. But the fact is the child has
never had this experience, and it is but
little time since he was eating yarrow
and drinking catnip tea for the collie

1t does seem to US, when we think oi
Jura Fullerton, that he is only boy. We
first saw him in October, 1854. His faith
er was carrying him in his arms. He was
a babe 1t does seen. so short a time
since he vas little boy, playing about
the streets of Jackson. But Jura was a
quiet, inoffensive boy.

We believe that there is design on
the part of Hayes, Evarts, Key & Co. to
steal another large portion OF Mexico.
The following dispatch from Washing
ton appeared in the y. y Tribune few
days ago:
WASHINGTON, Aug 6--At the Cabinet
meeting today there was considerable
discussion over the reports presented by
the Secretary of War These had been
received at the War Department from
the authorities Of the Mexican Govern
ment to the effect that the people in
Mexican towns were taking vigorous
steps to repel any invasion of United
States troops into Mexican territory in
the future. There was some talk in favor
Of preparations on the partof our Gov
eminent to counteract any warlike de
monstrations on the part of the Mexican
people should it be found necessary for
our troops to pursue Mexican raiders
across the border when they continued
to commit depredrtions on the American
side of the frontier. In view of the fact
that the Mexican authorities had not
asked nor did they expect our Govern
ment to deal with the reports before the
Cabinet it was finally decided no actor
was needed at this time. Other inform a
ton before the Cabinet showed that the
people of Mexico were particularly in
censed at the recent raid of Genera
Mackenzie into Mexico.

ALESHIRE TO THE FRONT

Esq Aleshire commenced a series of
articles in the Herald last week, about
the Auditors fees We intend to answer
him after he shall have got through.
We will only say now. that he starts out
in a very rough, ngentlemanly manner,
accusing Mr.. Atkinson, Mr.. Paine, Mr..
Moore and the county Commissioners, OF
crime. He has much to say about
"whitewashing."
Now these men may be goaded up to
replying, that Mr.. Aleshire is not the
man to accuse them of dishonesty, as
they never, any of them, attempted to
get other peoples money unlawfully and
dishonesty, as Mr.. Aleshire has done.
Mr.. Aleshire quotes short editorial
from the SrANDARD and says it is howl
to whitewash somebody. We may howl
but we never "squeal." Does Mr.. Ale
shire?

Whenever a Republican who is kp

Whenever Republican who is known
to possess money enough to enable him
to change linen once a month, receives a
nomination for office, the Democratic
politicians at once commence shrieking ::
Were LOST we're lost This man will
buy his way into office He will buy
enough of us Democrats, at fifty cents a
head, to elect him"
That was the opinion the prehistoric
Bill Allen expressed of his Democratic
followers. That is the opinion expressed
by Democratic leaders everywhere The
accusation of buying an Office, is very
frequently made, by Democrats, against
Republican candidates. Every time a
Democratic politician makes such an ac-
cusation, he places the mass of the voters
of his own party on level with brutes.
Yet the majority of Democratic voters
appear to think that this kind of talk is
all right. We predict that such state
Of degradation will not much longer con.
tinue to exist.

The Waverly papers are good at fault
finding. When the last spike was driven
on the Narrow Gauge, the Republican
howled desperately because dinner was
not served at the proper hour, and other
arrangements were not perfect. When
the stockholders Of the road were invited
to go to Springfield the affair did not
pass off to the satisfaction of these edi-
tors The excursion was intended exclu-
sively for the stock holders, as they had a
expended. There was not room enough
for all the stockholders, but at Waverly
crowd of women rushed into the cars
and attempted to crowd the stockholders
out, whereupon one of the Waverly pa
pers says:
Right here we are panied to remark
that some fellows from Jackson and sew
eral from Waverly refused to give ur
their seats in the coaches to the ladies
! These greenhorns will not travel much
before they will learn that in all civilized
countries common consent of manliness
refuses to permit any woman to stano
up, on any public conveyance, if thing
in the form of man has seat to Offer
her. Many of these ladies took seats il
box cars or sat upon the arm of the seats
right in view of these unmanly Doors
Spot such fellows; they are not men"
Now the question might arise. whC
were the greenhorns; who were th'
Doors; those who had right to the seats
lopers?
There are no doubt unmannerly mel
in Jackson, and even in Waverly; bu
let US all act with fairness, and not al
tempt to magnify little matters, even
they are unpleasant Let US cultivate
spirit of good feeling along our new road

The manner in which the Administra-
ton managed the cases of the Revenue
officers imprisoned in South Carolina, is
interesting. Everything had to be done,
of course, in accordance with the policy
of pacifcation; it would not do to offend
Wade Hampton and his rife clubs
Neither would it do for the Government
to exhibit downright cowardice, in its
dealings with State. So a kind of com
promise was gotten up, through which
the cases were to be transferred to the
United States Circuit Court On last
Thursday, United States Marshal Wallace
went to the Jail at Greenville, South Car
olina, and demanded the imprisoned off
GERS. The Sheriff refused to deliver
them, but showed the Marshal the keys
of their cells. The Marshal unlocked
the cells, brought out the prisoners, and
delivered them to the Sheriff, who placed
them back in their cells.
The only change made in the situation,
by this proceeding, is that the officers
were, by this process of juggling impris-
oned in South Carolina, for doing their
duty as officers of the National Govern
ment. And they were thus imprisoned
by order of the National Government
There doesn't appear to be great deal
of "Jacksonian firmness" around about
the region of the White House.

The Potter committee have again gone
to work. They again subp@naed Stanley
Matthew'S but he refuses TO testify. Gen.
Butler will take measures 10 have his
case reported to the Nouse Of Represen-
tatives for action.
The papers are taking a very silly
course in regard to this matter. They
keep publishing that the committee are
getting no evidence worth ary thing, and
are about played out, &c. Do not be-
leve word Of it, President Hayes will
be imneached Any man who wants the
country to go through the excitement OF
impeachment, should encourage the De
mocracy, 10y voting the Democratic tick
ct. For our own part, we believe that
Hayes richly deserves impeachment; but
we do not believe the mass Of lo people
of either party, desires it. Put no faith
in Democratic promises The party
means mischief

enlistments. These bountie5 were not
uniform, some townships paying 800,
some $500, and some again paying rs
high as $500 and $3.50
Huntington township. Ga',a Co.. was
able o offer but @l00 The matter Of ac-
creditmcnt being privileged one, many
men, of course, were disposed to place the
credit of their enlistment to those town
ships that were paying the largest boun-
ties, which hundreds of men did So in
spite Of all promises and moral obligations
to the contrary, and even to the almost
utter despair Of the townships in which
they resided. Under this call Mr. Cher
ington enlisted in Capt Samuel Walkers
Company, the recruiting officer in Gallia
Co., promising to give the credit of his en-
list ment to Huntington tip. But just
previous to his enlistment and at time
when It was yet optional with him as to
where he should place his credit, he was
offered $500 if he would place his enlist
ment to certain townships in the north
ern part of the State.
This difference of 5000 was certainly a
financial inducement, liable at such times
of uncertainty and excitement, and es-
pecially when there was inordinate dispo-
sition on the part of the people for rapac-
ity and wealth, to lead men astray, and
cause them TO commit shameful viola
tions of trust and confidence. But Mr..
Cherington, without the hope then
of Do1iticsl reWarl Of anV kind,
save the reward of an approving con-
science and actuated by no other motive
or influence than that of an innate hon
, esty of principle and purpose, considered

W. B, Cherington.
To the Editor of the Standard:

To the Editor of the Standard:
| see at your recent Republican County
Convention that w. B. Cherington was
nominated for Sheriff In these times of
socalled political reform, when the peo-
pie are want to be so very eXacting in
their demands for political honesty, it is
necessary that candidates should show a
record in every way consistent and in full
measure with these demands.
Without wishing to draw any invidiaus
comparisons between the honesty and in
tegritv of Mr.. Cherington and that of his
worthy Democratic opponent, l wish to
relate one little circumstance connected
with Mr.. Cherington's past history, that
ought to 60 far in establishing the fact
that he is not only honest, in the COM
mon acceptation of that word but that
in the hour of extremity and dark uncer-
tainty he is a man that will do to tie to
faithful among the faithless."
In the summer Of 1864, when the life
and existence of the nation was almost
despaired Of by its most sauguine sup
porters: when it was uncertain which
way the balances would turn, whether
for it. or against, the government for the
fourth time appealed to the patriotic
hearts of the North to rally once again to
the standard of liberty, and fill up the
three hundred thousand vacant places
that war and famine, fatigue and sickness
had created in the ranks Of the Union
army. We all remember how hard it was
to raise this large quota of men. Each
township in every county Of the State had
it's apportionment, and large bounties
were paid by the townships for accredited
