ALLEN o. MYERS says he got none OF Bookwalter's
money. Allen says his observations of the barrel

GOV. FOSTER is constantly receiving suggestions
as to the proposed National Thanksgiving over the
recovery of the President. The Governor Of Texas
does not think he has sufficient authority over the
spiritual condition of his people to order them 10
pray, but thinks they all sorry that Garfield was
shot. One man has written Gov. Foster suggesting
that the people get out in the woods and howl for
days. There is possibility of OVERRIDING the thing.
WHEN Mackay, the millionaire was asked to sub
scribe to the Mrs Garfield Fund.-. he refused, at the
same time stating that in case of the Presidents
death he would be found in the front rank of sub
scrbers to fund for the widow and children Mackay
right. Gen. Garfield never was pauper, and
there is less need than of taking up coec-
tion for his family.
GUITEAU, the assassin is universally hated now,
but If some one had shot him down at the time he
was attempting to murder President Garfield, the
person who shot Guiteau would have been looked
upon, in the future, with vastly contempt than
Guiteau. Were j. Wilkes Booth living to-day, he
would be treated with much more respect by the
American people than is Boston Corbett, the man

From Tennessee.

MEMPHIS, July 15tn, 1851.
To the Editors of the Standard:
Through communication from home
1 have learned of the death of one of the
old settlers of Jackson county, and one
who has endeared himself to all who
knew him. I refer to James Woodson,
late of your county, who departed this
life as I am informed on the 9th OF
June, 1881, at 10 o'clock A. M. He was
the last of six brothers, and was known
throughout the section of the county
where he lived, as being man OF correct
and exemplary religious habits, and a
consistent and devoted Christian. He
was a resident of Jackson county for
more than half a century, having moved
to the place near Berlin, better known as
the Woodson farm, in 1929, when the
greater part of the county was in state
of nature. He lived ON this farm until
he died
The deceased was born in Virginia, l
Think in the year 1917, and in 1921 he,
with his father and family, moved to
Ohio, and stopped some eight years in
Ross county before he came to Jackson.
In his youth the deceased had not the
advantage of attending public schools; !;
yet he acquired fair English education'
and probably was better informed on all
general subjects than the average man of
to-day. He was man of strong convic-
tions, and unshaken in his religious
faith. He was an earnest and Jealous
worker in the Methodist church, and
while he was firm believer in Method
ism, he was not egotistical, neither was
he so strictly sectarian, but that he
would accord to all other orthodox
churches the right to their own peculiar
belief. He was constant reader of the
bible; hence he was liberal in his views,
and all who knew him will lament his
death. He leaves four children, and
three sisters, the only ones left out of a
family of eleven children. Being a
relative of the deceased, the more sadly
feel the loss, on account of his being the
last male member of the original Woodson
family, and he being as father to me so
far back as 1 can remember. 1 probably
feel the loss of him as much as any of his
children or sisters that he leaves behind.
May we initiate his example in all that
was good and ennobling, and kindly
cover with the mantle of charity his
faults. May we so live and conduct our
lives, that when we are called upon by
the great Judge to render our accounts
that we can present a clear record, and
meet the departed with the rest who
have gone before, in a brighter and better
world. May his ashes rest in peace.

The Presidents Condition.

About eight o'clock last Saturday
morning President Garfield had Sc
we're chill, succeeded by high fever,
and great alarm spread over the coun-
try. DR.. Agnew Of Philadelphia, and
DR.. Hamilton of New York were tel
egraphed for, and arrived at Wash
ington Saturday night. On Sunday
morning an examination was made,
and it was found that pus cavity had
been formed where the point of the
broken rib had caused irritation. DIR.
Agnew made an incision three inches
below the bullet hole, and the matter
came out in large quantities. He be-
gan at once to improve.

1T will be time to inquire how happened that
the President when he shot. deserted by his
Cabinet Ministers, and that it fell to the lot of
woman to first assist him from the floor. Did his
ministers who by him, run like towards P
Cincinnati Gazette.
Nothing strange in that. Human
nature is the same in all ages. When
Christ was betrayed, his disciples all
forsook him and fled, and at the cru
cifxion only women were present, Of
his friends, with the exception perhaps
Of John, who was lurking around in
disguise. All will remember the mis-
erable cowardly conduct of Peter.

WE have read with good deal of
interest the articles in the North
American Reuie0 for August, written
by R. G.. Ingersoll and Jeremiah S.
Black. We intend to speak at length
of these articles when we have more
room.
We thought we were pretty familiar
with the Bible, having read it very
much when we were young, and our
memory retentive; but here is one
passage from Ingersoll's article which
is surprise, if he is correct: that God
never, in a single word, any where in
the Old Testament, spoke Of future
punishment, in another world.

Guiteau's Punishment.

Mary Clemmer, in her last letter to
the N Y. Independent, thinks that
Guiteau ought to be whipped as often
as once a month. Mrs. Clemmer need
not worry. Guiteau will never be
punished. He is now held without
any warrant of law No complaint
has been filed against him. The law
yers are beginning to clamor about the
constitution being busted, and there is
no question that Guiteau could be
'eased on habeas corpus any day.
He does not want to be released at
present, as he is afraid of the people
killing him.
When Boston Corbett killed Booth,
the murderer of President Lincoln, he
thought he was performing a good
deed; but he says that he has been
treated as if he was the criminal, and
Booth was the hero and patriot.
Jefferson Davis was in a great
degree responsible for the death of a
million of American citizens, and a
destruction of the wealth of the nation
to the amount of ten thousand million
dollars. He was traitor. The con-
stitution clearly defines treason. A
law of the United States, passed when
Washington was President, makes the
crime of treason punishable with
death. Davis was in prison. Horace
Greeley bailed him out. For this aid
to the cause of treason, Greeley was
nominated by the rebel Democracy
for President in 1872, against Gen.
Grant, the man who led the Union
armies to final victory. And all the
liberals, half breeds, feather heads,
and such, went with Greeley and the
rebels. Now this tribe, headed by such
papers as the Cincinnati Commercial,
N. Y. Tribune, and others, which then
supported the rebel ticket, are dicta-
ting the policy of the Republican
party. The man Robertson, about
which all the New York trouble arose,
was one of these Greeleyite rebels.
While Robertson was thus working
in the interest Of the traitors, Conk-
ling was working for the Union and
the Republican party. Now each has
his reward.
We would not be surprised If
Guiteau would be ruling and controll-
ing the Republican party in less than
ten years. He need not fear any pun
ishment, and he does not fear it. He
wants notoriety, and promotion in the
Republican party. He is on the right
road for both. Guiteau is not fool

THE Waverly Watchman M

THE Waverly Watchman mentions
the death Of Rev. J. T. Holiday, at
the residence of his son, in Kingston.
He was II years of age, and had been
in the ministry 46 years. We think
this is the same J. T. Holiday who was
the Methodist minister at this place
when we came here, 26 years ago.
He then preached in the old Court
House, the M. E. Church not then
having been finished. Mr.. Holiday
then owned an interest in the Jackson
Foundry.

ResoIssd, That We hereby tender to James A: Gar
profoundest sympathies in his afliction and
5ejoiee, IN the prospect 9f his speedy
centered in him.
There seems to us to be much in
consistency in those resolutions. The
second resolution goes for prohibition.
The Republican State convention
declares in favor of submitting to the
people the question of voting upon a
constitutional amendment upon this
question. There can be no prohibition
without constitutional amendment.
and at this time there can be no con-
stitutional amendment without vote
of the people. The Repu blican party
proposes to take the only step that
can render prohibition possible; yet
our temperance friends say in the pre-
amble, that the two parties have put
into their platforms principles which.
if carried out, will result in a still
greater increase of the liquor traffic
This is strange talk for sober men to
have.
The third resolution favors local
option. This is a strange kind of
prohibition. 1t is as fearful conces-
sion to the wrong as the old squattel
sovereignty doctrine Of the Democracy
Of twenty-five years ago. Then it was
held that if a majority in any terri
tory should vote for human bondage
that should be the law in such terri
tory. Now our friends who are work
ing for the only true and safe rem
edy-prohibition, are also working fo,
free license, local option. If ma
jority of the voters of Cincinnati, OF
of Jackson, say that the devil Of in
temperance shall be let loose to destroy
the children of the coming generation
it is all right! Strange Inconsistency
And any man with a thimble full o1
brains, whether he be lawyer or not
who will read the constitution of Ohio
knows that no local option law cal
be carried through the courts unit
the constitution shall have beer
amended. This the Republican party
proposes to do.
