Only n Starting Point.

1t now appears that the pardon grant
ed Fitz John Porter by the President is
looked upon rs the small end of the
wedge which is to force way for the
restoration of that becl0udcd gentleman
to all the emoluments, back pay in
cluded, of his former rank The ink of
the Presidents signature had hardly
dried on the pardon before Representa-
tive Bragg, Democratic congressman
from the fifth district of this state,
introduced a bill authorizing the Prcsl-
dent, lin order that Justice may be
done to said Fitz John Porter, to APP
point Fitz John Porter, late major gen
cral Of United States volunteers, brcyet
brigadicr general and colonel of the
army to the position of colonel in the
army of the United States, to the same
grade and rank held by him at the time
of his dismissal from the army, by
sentence of court martial, and in his
discretion place him on the retired list
of the army as of that grade"
1t is stated, rs matter of opinion,
by those who claim to know, that the
bill will be pushed during the present
session only until report is made,
whether favorable or otherwise, and
then be suffered to lie over until the
next session of congress The Chicago
Tribune in discussing the persistent eff
forts made by Porter and his friends
says "lt is immateriaI to them (the
people, how many civil offices he may
hold, if he can get elected TO them, bat
there is one Office that they will never
consent he Shall hold, and that is an
office in the United States army. in
whose service he proved himself of
more aid to the Rebels than to the Gov
ernment. Every Brigadier in the South
is anxious he should be restored, and
every Brigadier in congress will vote
for il, for to do otherwise would show
ingratitude towards one but for whose
conduct the War would have ended
much sooner. If congress yields to the
impertinent importunings of this man.
/ and in defiance of the wishes of the peo-
pie of the country restores him to the
army, then let it make clean work and
restore all the Rebel Brigadiers also.
I
| II fitz John Porter is to come in there
Is no reason why they should be kept
out. They We're at least true to the
Nag under which they fought, and did
not aid the North. If Fitz John Por-
ter is restored it is tantamount to a con
feSsion that he did nothing wrong in
helping them. Then why bar them out
If 1t was right to help them? 1t is a
bitter pill for loyal men to bear that the
man is relieved even in part and may
be allowed TO held civil Office. Con-
gress should not further aggravate
them by restoring him TO place in the
army he sought to destroy"
There is little fear even should the
matter be brought to a vote that con
greSS will listen to what the Tribune
correctly names the ''impudent impor-
tunings of the Porter crowd Repub-
lican members at least have too much
respect for the opinions of their con
sttuents to pander TO the mouthings of
4 traitorouS element anxious to repay
an ally for dirty work done years ago.

Never Satisfied.

4 determination is expressed by some
Of the southern members 0 defeat the
river and harbor appropriation bill un-
less the Mississippi river commission is
granted leave to use the money appro-
priated for improving the navigation Of
the Mississippi river, ut their descre-
ton, to build lcyees, to protect the over
flowed lands
If this resolution is correctly stated
these gentlemen will only again illus
trate the happy faculty of obstruc-
ton which they seem to possess in 50
eminent degree, with the direct GER
tainty that they have nothing to gain
and everything to lose by pursuing a
dog-in-the-manger policy.
The nation which foots the bills for
the proposed improvements of the great
river is not voting money for the pro-
lection of private property, but for the
improvement of national thorough
fare. If, incidentally to that great work,
it becomes necessary to erect new levees
or repair those at present in use, such
work will come legitimately within the
province of the commission. That the
Mississippi should be navigable in safe
~ below Cairo at almost any season OF
the year is a matter in which the whole
valley drained by the mighty river, as
well rs the great northwest, is directly
and deeply Interested But this interest
does not extend primarily to the re-
claiming of any private lands.
If the reputed obstructionists are
simply fishing for an appropriation &c
make flush times in certain southern
states the sooner they put their tackle
out Of sight the better. The great North
and West are generous but hardly to
that extent.

keystone RepublicaniSu,

The Pennsylvania Republican convcn-
ton held at Harrisburg last week, was
to all outward appearances n most har-
monious gathering. The evidence Of
the Philadelphia meeting was visible in
the platform to an extent that should
satisfy the most ardent Independents
The letters of the bond was strictly kept
but the spirit was somewhat shattered,
from nh Independent point of view
in the State put forward Hon. VIM.
Henry Rawle and Hon. W. l. Davis,
being the only members of the crrng
brotherhood who achieved a seat
among the chosen. The platform re-
aiiirms the principles of equal rights,
Justice, honesty and economy in state
and national administrations, which
have ever been the foundation stones of
Republicanism, favorS the continuance
OF a proper and judiciouStariir unc,uiyo-
caily condemns the use Of patronage to
promote personal ends, insists that com
petent and faithful officers Shall not be
removed except for cause, that the popu-
lar will shall be faithfully carried out in
state and national conventions aud bv
those holding Office by the favor Of the
party, condemns compulsory assess
ments for political purposes, asserts that
public office constitutes 4 high trust to
be administered solely for the people
whose interest must be paramount to
those of persons and parties, deplores
The uutimcly death Of President Garfield
while commenting the administration
Of his successor and approves the admin
lStraticn OF state affairs under GOV.
Hoyt
The seventh resolution, in view of the
recent differences that have divided the
party in thai state, is particularly ex-
plicit rs follows, Resolved. that n state
ticket should be such As by the imparti-
alty of its constitution and the high
character and acknowledged fitness Of
its nominees will justly commend itself
10 the support Of the united Republican
party"
The platform takes long stride in
the way of reform and is one To which
all factions can ana ought to give Iowa
support just what action will be taken
by the Independents is unknowablc
until the meeting of the convention
called by the leaders of that movement
to meet the 20ih of the present month.
# wise counsels prevail at that meeting
they will accept that portion of the olive
branch offered by the platform above
given and unite heartily in the support
of the party ticket. Not only sound
sense but good policy dictates such a
course as they then place themselves in
position to hold all factions 10 a strict
accountability under the principles pro-
mulgated by the Harrisburg platform.
More they could not ask, less they might
not accept.

DEMONSTRATING Wild Ducks.

Mr.. Charles Linden, of the Buffalo
Society of Natural Sciences, has pub
ished a paper on the domestication OF
our wild ducks. He found that the only
kinds which made themselves at home in
the barnyard were the mailard, dusky
duck, and Canada goose, 1.-THE progeny
of which prospered and attained a great
er weight and size than the ordinary
domesticated stock. Some of them are
still living and betray in many instances
tendency to revert in point of plum
age to their original condition, while the
majority have become quite metamor-
phosed into the ordinary barnyard fowl.
These ducks were taken when very
young or raised from eggs.

At her first appearance since the death
of her husband, on the stage of Albert
Hall, London, Nine. Christine Nilsson
was dressed in deepest mourning, and
her first notes betrayed her agitatian by
tremulous culver. But she soon
brayely conquered herself, and her full,
strong voice rang through the hall with
all its old-time sweetness. The audience
applauded rapturously. The lady has
dropped her husbands name, Roseaud,
and resumed her maiden name of Nilsson

Job Work.

There is no printing Office in Ohio, not
excepting the city offices, any better pre-
pared to do fine job work than the Stan
dard Office. We have kept up with the
times, and have all the latest improve
mcuts in type and other material. We
have also laid in large stock of station
cry. We have five colors of poster paper,
and have just received from Cincinnati
and Columbus a large stock of fiat cap
paper, fiat letter, letter heads, note heads,
bill heads, statements, etc. We have also
received thirty thousand cut cards. These
include three sizes fine white Bristol
board, for business cards; four or five
colors tough cards for dray tickets. milk
tickets, concert tickets, etc.; tough tag
board cards for coal cars, etc.; also, three
sizes of shipping tags, very tough and

THE twenty thousand dollars that the
taxpayers have to raise to build a new
Jail, is part-a small part, of what the
Incorporate use of beer and whisky costs
the people of Jackson county. If not a
drop of intoxicating liquors was used,
there would be no use for new Jail, and
the old one might be torn down.
Now if every body would stop drinking
and take only one-tenth of the money
they worse than throw away in buying
intoxicating liquors, and buy from Mrs.
Graham some of her nice glassware,
queensware, toys, lamps, etc., how nicely
would their now destitute homes appear.
In addition to the articles above refer
red to, Mrs. Graham has her goods in the
same room where her husband has his
large stock of stoves, tinware, etc.

The Horrible Wreck!

81 hear said Brown meeting Jones, on last Friday,
that the mail train jumped the track this side of Cove
Station. Conductor reported slightly bruised.''
Jones goes OF and meets Smith: "Hear about the
wreck, SmithP, "NoI Where?" "Oh, the mail
train ran down an embankment near Cove; conductor
had his arm broken; four five fatally injured
Smith meets Black: "Hear about the accident,
Blackp" mo, nothing reliable" said Black "Well,
the mail train was coming down grade-thirty five
miles an hour, when she jumped the track. Every
car except the engine upside down. One man killed
conductors arm broken, six men seriously hurt.
Engine just come in after help.'
Away goes Black and meets bunker: "Hear about
the calamity, Dunker?" "Yes, but 1 know it's
they make it out these railroads try hide
every accident. How 1t ?'' "Well, the Spring.
field mail was coming by Cove Station, at the rate of
sixty-two miles an hour; a got the track and
the engineer put down the air-brake. The immense
speed caused the link break the engine became de-
tached, and the stoppage was sudden that the
tire train turned complete back somersault, and
rolled down a seventy-foot embankment. Three men
killed and nine desperately wounded
Away rushes Bunker and meets True: 'Hear about
the holocaust True ?' ''No.'' sMail train wrecked
at Cove-eleyen men killed, thirteen wounded-con-
ductors back broke"
"Rcckon notr' says True, "there goes the conduc-
tor now and the train has been in for hour There

astonishment that people will not tell the truth.

IT is true you can buy sewing ma
chine from d. l.. Pickrel for twenty to
twenty-five dollars less than you can from
travelling peddlers; you can buy the
Household machine from him, which is
worth double any machine that is being
peddled at from twenty-five to thirty-five
dollars, all attachments. 1t is also true
that you can buy from him the Singer
pattern machine Same one that is being
peddled by Howe and Hunter, and for
which they ask forty to fifty dollars0 for
twenty-five dollars, with drop leaf, two
drawers, and all attachments, warranted
for five years. Why buy from peddlers
at double price? Why not buy from res
ponsible dealers, at reasonable prices
My machines are all new, and L will
give you a printed warrantee, which is
better than any peddler's. Call.

of l.. w. Kinnison, the great sweet potato
plant dealer, has been taken out of the
Standard, as the six weeks for which the
contract was made has expired. This by
no means indicates that the season for
putting out plants, has terminated. Mr..
Kinnison has informed us that plants will
do well this season, if transferred and
planted any time up to July 18th, and
that he will plant his own crop in July.
He still has on hand large quantity of
