Personal RecOllectiOns.

Some years ago, when [ wrote un-
der the above heading, I spoke gener-
ally about the first settlement Of
Jackson County-the days Of coon
skins, ginseng, wild deer and wild tur-
keys, rattlesnakes and seed ticks.
Now I will come down to a quarter Of
century ago. It is now twenty-six
years since the Republican party was
organized in Jackson County. I was
here, and took an active part in that
organization-in fact it was on my
motion that committee was appoint
ed to form the first Republican organ
ization in this county, as I will show
hereafter.
Some of the 'smart Alecks" used
find fault with this style of writing,
as they said I used the pronoun 81"
too often. Well, prefer this to the
word "we," as now used; and the best
and greatest Of men have spoken free
ly Of their past experience, observa-
tion and recollection. I have often
prayed that if should be tempted to
undo my life work, as Chase, Web
ster, Greeley and many others did, I
might die before I should do this
thing; but | can partly adopt the Ian
guage Of one of the greatest men who
ever lived, when he said: 1 have
fought the good (politicaD fight; I
have kept the (politicaD faith; I have
(nearly) finished my course, &c.
When I look back forty years and
remember the feeling against any
thing like present Republicanism,
how marvellous does the present situa-
ton appear. Suppose l had predicted
in the year 1s42 that in forty years
the principles which I then advocated
would be so popular that those who
believed as I then did would have a
President Of the United States, and
majority in Congress, a majority in
the State Of Ohio, and a majority in
Jackson County, and majority in
the town of Jackson. Suppose I had
predicted that this party would have
abolished slavery, and all legal dis
tinctions between the colored race and
other races, and have given colored
men all over the United States the
constitutional right to vote and hold
office; that negroes could testify in
court, sit on juries, and that at the
May term of the Court in Jackson
County colored man would be on
the regular jury, and that several
would be called as talesmen. If had
made such a prediction, would have
been murdered or confined in an asy-
lum. But all this has actually taken
place.
Well, as to the formation of the

The diary of Lieutenant DeLong,
sent home by Engineer Melville, tells
a pitiful story Of suffering, starvation
and death, amidst the snow and ice Of
the North. The little party toiled on
until their provisions gave out, when
they killed dog, and subsisted several
days upon dog-meat, pieces of deer
skin, and even bits of clothing. At
last, broken down, freezing and starv-
ing, those brave men laid down and
died-died for what? Can any one
tell what was accomplished through
the sacrifice Of their lives, save to
demonstrate the fact that men may
freeze and starve while engaged in
foolhardy expeditions in search OF
something which it would do them no
good whatever to find?

Court Of Common Pleas.

The case of the State of Ohio vs..
Sylvester S. Grover came to trial on
Wednesday. The following persons
composed the jury: William Fl.
Steele, Peter Radcliff, John L. Davis,
Elwood Dickson, Andrew Johnson,
William Ryan, Jacob Miller, John D.
Jones, John J. McKitterick, George
W. Harbarger, Richard Bartlett and
Alexander Patton.
There were great many witnesses,
and the testimony was in the main
the same as in the former trial, which
was pretty fully reported at the time,
and we will not go into detail. The
additional evidence that was material,
was that of two boys who saw Grover
pass a school-house next morning af-
ter the burglary, and noticed that he
wore new boots. Mrs. Davis, at whose
he stopped, noticed new boots on his
feet, and something like small augers
in his overcoat pocket. Defendant
did not go upon the witness stand
this time.
The case was very ably managed on
the part of the State by E. G. Powell,
Laird & Trip, and for defense by j..
L. Jones and Irvine DUNCAN.
There were some 60 witnesses, many
of them from Gallia, Athens and
Meigs counties, and the costs are near
$1,000.
The jury did not remain out long,
and returned a verdict Of guilty as
charged in the indictment.
Counsel for defendant at once filed
a motion for a new trial, charging
misconduct on the part of two OF the
jurors. 1t seems that Elwood Dicka-
son and John L. Davies c'Jack"), du-

THERE was heavy rain at o'clock
on the morning Of the 4th. When
the train came up in the forenoon a
large crowd of people came up, and a
good many came in from the country.
A few boys in disguise, rode through
town, and in the afternoon Mr.. Collier
read a well prepared paper at the Fair
Ground, and Miss Ida Jones read a
poem. A heavy rain came up, and
the meeting adjourned to the Court
House, where Mr.. Eylar of Waverly,
and John M. Downey of Jackson,
made speeches.

To the Editors of the Standard:

Jackson county did, as the writer alleges, support
Pyley for judge but that sixteen years ago this

The physician who was in charge
Of the autopsy in Guiteau's case is the
same who operated upon the remains
at the Garfield autopsy. DR.. Lamb
was trying to determine, by examina-
ton of the murderer's inner parts,
whether or not he had been insane.
We believe the learned Doctor hag-
gled an hour and thirty minutes-if we
remember rightly-at the lamented
Garfeld's body before finding the ball
then found it in wash-basin, where
some Of the viscera had been thrown.
Jackson has physicians who can do
better than that.
