We notice by the proceedings in the
House at Columbus. that the fools are
not all dead yet-there still lives one by
the name of Frame to perpetuate the
race, and he is said to be Representa-
tive. May the Lord have mercy upon
him and pity his constituents. lie has
introduced a bill ito fix the price Of ad
vertising," &c. IL he has nothing more
beneficial to the taxpayers of the State
to offer, he had better 90 home. The
present law is a good one, and we hope
the Democratic Legislature will not tinker
with it.
The above appeared in the Herald last
week. In giving it our approval, we can
do SO without the suspicion of any selfish
motive, as the county has all its offices
filed with Republicans, and if only one
p per gets the public printing the Stan
dard would get it. The present law is a
good one, and the newspapers. tax x-payers
and people generally. are well satisfied
with il. Do let the law alone for one
session, at least

John Q. Smith, few years ago. was a
member of Congress from the Clermont
district. west Of us. He was then appoint
ed Commissioner of Indian Affairs Un-
der the policy announced in the letter OF
acceptance Of Hayes. he had a right to
expect that he would be retained but
political expediency required that he
should be removed. Then he began to
inquire what was the cause of his remov-
al. That eminent sham, Secretary Schurz,
got up some kind Of secret investigation,
in order to blacken the character of Mr.
Smith, and give an excuse for his remov-
al. Smith feels sore over it, and he
wrote letter 10 Gen. Sherman, and the
General answered that Smith was the
best Commissioner the country had had
for ten years. Schurz theD-Rrote TO Gen.
Sherman, and the General repeats his in.
dorsement OF Smith.
And Schurz grins. and Hayes smiles.

coming intoxicated, she was smothered
The husband, who was so drunk that no

Yorkville Police Court and held in 81 600
