VALEDICTORY.
The undersigned hereby informs
the subscribers of the Standard
and Express, that his connection
with its publication ceases from the
date of this issue. We leave it with
a large and valuable subscription,
and favorably reasonable advertising
list, and bearing a reputation which
entitles it, by the judgment of oth
ers, to a position among the best
weekly papers in the State.
The control of the paper will hence
forth be in the hands of the Messrs.
Marschalk, both as to its publication
and editorship. These gentlemen
are so well known for their very de
cided capacity and qualifications in
both these respects, that any words
of commendation are entirely unne
cessary. The paper, under their
management, it is confidently ex
pected, will not only retain but sur
pass its former popularity and useful
ness, and prove a valuable auxiliary
in the promotion of the public good,
—and in leaving it and them, I may
be pardoned if I bespeak for them a
generous and sustaining patronage.
James W. Harris.
SALUTATORY.
The undersigned, on assuming the
conduct of the Standard and Ex
press, can only say, that they will
nse their best exertions to make it
valuable, readable and useful. In its
political aspect it will always be
found Demqcratic in principle —an
independent Democratic paper. Par
ticular attention will always be paid
to its reading matter, with an earnest
desire not only to circulate news, but
at the same time to gratify the taste
of the cultivated, and add somewhat,
If possible, to the moral improve
ment and enlightenment of the peo
ple. We ask our patrons to give us
their aid in our arduous undertaking,
and we will pledge ourselves to come
up to the full measure of all reason
able demands upon our industry and
attention.
In all the departments of printing
we are well prepared to meet the
wants of the public, and to turn out
from our office, the neatest, cheapest
and most finished specimens of ty
pography. The paper is already a
success, but we are determined by the
aid of a generous public, to make it
more worthy than ever of its patron
age, and to entitle it to the support
of all who love newspaper reading.
Out* association with Col. Harris
has always been the kindest and
most agreeable, and it is not without
our regret that he has retired from the
post to which our life’s vocation has
called us.
The paper will be issued on the
usual publication days, and hereby
re-pledging ourselves to the work
of printing and publishing a good
paper in our midst, watchful of all
the interests of the people, we feel
that it will not be considered out of
place if we ask of the public, a con
tinuance of that favorable regard
which the paper has hitherto obtain
ed in the general estimation.

Cardoza, the carpet-bag nigger eu
perintendent of education of Missis
sippi, has been indicted by a grand
Jury in Warren county, in that State,
composed ol ten negroes and seven
whites, for forgery and embezzle
ment. He committed these crimes
while clerk of the Circuit Court of
that county. His deficiencies in his
present office have not yet been made
apparent; they are doubtless exten
sive. We know the sanctimonious
villain, well. Like the majority of
his stripe, he pretends to be very re
ligious. Not long ago he wanted the
principal stores of Vicksburg closed,
because the merchants had the au
dacity to drape their houses in mourn
ing for the great and good Gen. R. E.
Lee, but failed to do so upon the re
ceipt of the news of the death of
Farragut. There are indictments
against two other carpet-bag officers
of that county, for similar crimes.
We sincerely hope they may reap
the proper reward for their villainies.
Sipce writing the above we learn
that the Treasurer’s office of Warren
county .which contained the evidence
of the guilt of the rascals, has been
broken open and the records stolen.
And now the probability is they will
go unwhipt of justice.
It Is estimated, the Tridune says,
that not less than a million trees of
eucalyptus globulus are already plant

San Francisco, Oakland and other
cities, and in country localities where
the winters are mild enough to per
mit of their successful growth, they
are often met with. We read that
near Haywards, in that State, the
Burveyor-General has two groves,
one of ninety and the other of sev
enty acres, about one hundred and
fifty thousand trees in all, and
though only five years old, many
■ingle specimens are forty to fifty
feet'high, the whole forming an ex
tensive and beautiful forest, worth

THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE.
The following review of the Pres
ident’s Message which we publish on
the first page, is taken from the New
York Sun. It so exactly corresponds
with our own opinion of the lengthy
document that we copy it in extenso:
The message of the President is the
longest document he ever signed, ex
cept his final report at the close of the
war, which was written by Gen. Raw
lins. Whether the increase of wis
dom keeps pace with the increase in
length, Congre#nd the country will
doubtless decide! Long as the mes
sage is, however, it makes no refer
ence to the recent elections. Perhaps
the President deems himself unequal
to the subject. Nor does he allude to
a third term. We presume General
Grant thought that the people had
recently spoken loud enough on this
matter for every body to hear them :
therefore, he need say nothing about it
The currency and matters connect
ed therewith occupy a large space.
Their importance leads the President,
as he says, to treat of them at the very
opening of the message. He discus
ses the subject of the prostration of
business throughout the country at
considerable length. He seem st 0
charge this prostration mainly to the
debt we incurred, and specially by
borrowing abroad, in the war for put
ting down the rebellion. He over
looks the fact that the North never
was so prosperous as while spending
these thousands of millions of dollars.
He is, no doubt, partially sound in his
theory in regard to the cause of the
stagnation in business; but he fails to
point to one of its prime sources,
namely, that since his administration
came into power the Government has
gone on spending money as if the war
was still in progress. Besides this,
he should know that it is the wide
spread corruption which pervades ail
branches of the public service, rather
than our foreign indebtedness, that
has shaken the faith of capitalists and
made them hesitate about embarking
in anew enterprise.
The means of relief suggested in
the message for this deplorable condi
tion of thing is to cultivate more land,
open more mines, and then go forth
in search of foreign markets for our
productions, and in this mode pay
our foreign creditors. The advice is
good; but will the people venture to
follow it till they see more competen
cy and integrity and patriotism in the
administration of the affairs of the
national government?
The message is reasonably sound
theoretically on hard money and a
return to specie payments. But the
President’s arguments are not as co
gent as his theories are sound, while
some of his plans for retiring our pa
per money and reviving gold and
silver as a circulating medium will
provoke the criticism not only of the
inflationists, but of the hard money
men as well. With the exception of
his recommendation of free banking,
the views he now expresses concern
ing the currency are but a reiteration
of his veto of the Greenback bill of
the last session.
What Morton and Logan and Fer
ry and Kelley and Butler, and the
olher inflationists in Congress, and
their great following outside of the
Capitol, will say to this part of the
message, the next few weeks will de
termine.
Our foreign relations are treated in
the usual verbose and unsatisfactory
style of Mr. Secretary Fish. Speak
ing through Gen. Grant, the Secreta
ry assures us that “during the year
nothing has occurred to disturb gen
eral friendly and cordial relations of
the United States with other powers.”
Referring to the Alabama claims, we
are told that the Court of Com
missioners having them in charge
“has organized and commenced its
work, and it is hoped that the
claimsadmisible under the provisions
of the act of Congress may be speedi
ly ascertained and paid.” Well, we
are glad the Commissioners have
finally got to work, and we have no
doubt tne claimants will be equally
glad to have them get through before
they die.
A good deal is said about Cuba and
Spain, but on both these subjects the
message does not at all come up to
the public expectation. The actual
performance falls far short of the
manifesto. W T hen deeds are wanted
we are turned off with nothing but
“words, words, word*.”
In respect to the war which has
been going on so long in Cuba, the
message lays down ample premises
for national interference; but from
these premises it draws no legitimate
or Batisfactory conclusions. It tells
U3 that something ought to be done
at once by outside nations, but it does
not recommend that the great repub
lic of the West stretch forth its hand
to assist a people who have been for
six or eight years struggling for inde
pendence against one of the most
effete powers of the Old World. Sure
ly if the American Union, with all
its prestige, dares not to recognize the
nationality of Cuba, or at all events
her rights as a belligerent, pray who
will?
Our relations with Spain proper
are admitted to be in a most unsatis
factory condition. But the President
or his Foreign Secretary, ventures to
barely intimate that when she gets
through fighting at home Hamilton
Fish, or Caleb Cushing, or somebody
else may sit down and have a long
talk with her.
And that is the sum and substance
of all that the message contains about
Cuba and Spain.
The President gives a brief summa
ry of the report of the Secretary of
the Treasury. The upshot of the
showing is that within the current
fiscal year our expenditures in sundry
directions are likely to be several
millions more than our receipts.
In the light of this rather depress
ing fact, Gen. Grant asks the question
“whether revenues should not be in
creased or expenditures diminished
to reach the amount of surplus”—that
is to say *s we understand it, that we,
in some way or other, ought to make
up the deficiency, which seems to be
not merely a wise suggestion, but one
absolutely necessary to be reduced to
practice. To make up for this defi
ciency Gen. Grant, followingthe lead
of his Secretary, hints at restoring
the duty on tea and coffee, and laying
an additional tax on whisky. * We
shall doubtless soon hear what the
hard drinkers of these three bevera
ges, both in and out of Congress,
think of this mode of liquidating the
public debt.
Gen. Grant slurs over the array in
a brief paragraph, but gives Robeson
of the navy a strong puff for fitting
up so hastily our rather shaky salt
water craft during the scare of the
Virginius. He tells us that the jolly
Secretary is as busy as the devil in a
gale of wind in building sloops of
war and torpedo boats, and repairing
the iron clads, and watching the
transit of Venus. Now that the re
cent election in New Jersey has des
troyed Robeson’s chances for theSen
atorship he will have nothing to do
but to attend to the congenial busi
siness above mentioned.
The President goes into an elabor
ate statement of his so-called reasons
for his interference with the bayonet
in the affairs of Louisiana, and his
refusal to interfere in like manner
with the affairs of Arkansas. He la
bors through long-drawn paragraphs
to define the difference in the two ca
ses, wherein one line would have suf
ficed to explain the difference to the
satisfaction of everybody cognizant
of the facts. There is a brother-in
law mixed up in the Louisiana case,
and there was no brother-in-law in
volved in the Arkansas case. And
this made all the difference in the
world to Grant, and it is the sum to
tal of the whole matter. The petti
fogging style of Attorney General
Williams is apparent throughout this
part of the message, but it is not suf
ficient to obscure the main point at
issue, which is that Casey lives in New
Orleans and not in Little Rock.
Grant ssd WUiiaqas should know
that the people passed judgment upon
this matter at the recent elections.
By their irrevocable fiat they de
creed that bayonet rule in the South
shall coine speedily to an end, or they
will in due time bring to an end those
who attempt longer to enforce it. A
great majority of the voters have said
through the ballot boxes that they
have had enough of this rule and far
too much of its authors and abettors.
Wesuppose that it is for the mere
look of the thing that the President
devotes a feeble sentence or two to
the subject of Civil Service Reform,
which he himself sets daily at naught,
and which as administered by him
people in general laugh at and Ben
Butler sneers at.
Cheap transportation, which, it was
understood, was to figure so largely
in the message, is disposed of with a
dash of the pen. No new railroads
and no transcontinental ship canals
are recommended to help the farmers
of the West reach the seaboard.
Well, we don’t think the farmers
relied much upon this or cared much
about it; but the failure to recommend
these bigjobs must be a sore grievance
to the contractors, speculators and
inflationists.
The affairs of the District of Co
lumbia are touched very gingerly.
Boss Shepherd and District Attorney
Harrington are not even mentioned
in the message, (leasing to lean any
longer on those broken reeds, Grant
falls back for support upon the new
Commissioners of the District, whose
recommendations he thinks ought to
lie taken into consideration by Con
gress, though the President himself
does not exactly say whether in his
judgment they are good, bad, or in
different.
So much for the message of the
President. The people now wait to
see what heed Congress will pay to
his recommendations.
A GRAND “BUST.”
End of tlio Edna Dean Proctor-Moulton-
Bcecher-Tilton Libel Suit.
The Brooklyn Eagle says the Proc
tor suit is at an end, and the strategy
of the prosecution lias proved suc
cessful. The defense made formal
overturns to the prosecution for a
compromise and settlement, which,
after consulting with their client, the
attorneys for Miss Proctor concluded
to entertaiu. The matter came to a
climax last week, when it was agreed
that at the opening of the court in
the morning a proposition should be
made by ex-Judge Fullerton to have
the case re-offered, which proposition
Tracy & Cos. should, after some argu
ment, agree to, and that the ex-dis
trict attorney, Benj. F. Stellman,
should be selected as referee. It was
further stipulated that the reference
should be conducted at the private
residence of the referee; that Miss
Proctor should come forward to tes
tify that Moulton’s allegations as to
her iiiicit connection with Rev. H.
W. Beecher were, in every respect,
false. It was further stipulated that
Moulton himself shou’d make affida
vit that he knew, of his own knowl
edge, nothing whatever against Miss
Proctor’s character, and that the libel
to which ho gave utterance was
based wholly upon hearsay. It was
further stipulated that Mr. Moulton
should make a becoming apology to
Mias Proctor, and that he should pay
all the costs incurred on both sides
thus far in the suit, amounting in
toto to over five thousand dollars,
and that in consideration of the fore
going, Miss Proctor would claim no
pecuniary damages against Moulton,
but would rest satisfied with the
vindication of her character, and the
referee should make a report iu con
sonance with these conditions, and
thus end the great suit. These terms
were all agreed to by the parties.
BURYING THE HATCHET.
The new administration organ, the
Republic , is determined to have peace
and always speaks kindly of the
South, as for instance, mark this ex
tract from its issue of the 27th ult:
“As an evidence of terrorism ex
isting in the South, we publish the
following extract from a private let
ter from one of our resident corres
pondents in the State of Alabama :
“I do not know whether I shall be
able to remain long in the State, as
the papers are advocating bitter pro
scription against all republicans. No
one would ever be tried, or, I should
say punished, if I were found with a
bullet hole in me one night as I was
going home. I shall remain, howev
er, while any other republican can.
My wife is very uneasy, but I shall
‘stick.’ Yours, truly, ***”
“This brief statement of facts con
veys its own lesson, and tells its story
in a manner that should carry con
viction to the heart of every northern
republican. There is no need of com
ment.”
We think not. That contemptible
sheet is of the same stripe as Harper’s
Weekly, wiiich holds out a dagger
hidden by the olive branch of peace.
We regret that there is sale for these
infamous papers in this country, but
as they are called for, news dealers
must keep them ; but we think that
theinfamouseartoon lately printed by
Harper, should be enough to cause
any Democrat who has subscribed
for or purchased the Nast-y thing
to let it alone in future.
The Rome Courier of the 10th inst.
says that three wagons passed through
that city on the day before, returning
from Texas and Arkansas to their
old homes in Georgia and North Car
olina. One of the wagons had been on
the road seven weeks. Willingham
says he conversed with the men folks
of the party. They all told the same
old, old story of how they had left
the old homestead, thinking that
Texas or Arkansas was the poor man’s
Eldorado; how, out there, they fought
with poverty, and lost what little they
had carried with them ; how one by
one their Western dreams faded away
into nothing, and how hard realities
dispelled all the illusions of romance
that had carried them hither, and
how they had longed for the land
of their fathers whither they were
then bound. There is one indis
putable fact connected with anew
country, to which all who have been
there will bear testimony. It is this,
that it is the place for men of capital
to go to, but not the place for poor
folks. Charley says he has tried it,
and “knows how it is himself.”
After a fatal explosion has occurred
in the work of constructing the Del
aware, Lackawanna and Western
Railway tunnel, it is ascertained that
it has been the habit of the black
smiths, one of whom is blown to
pieces, to hold the cartridges of giant
powder over the fire for a few minutes
before giving them out. It is one
of the well known peculiarities of
workmen to become indifferent to
the dangers by which they are
surrounded. There is a story that
when Faraday was examining a dan
gerous mine where there was fire
damp, he was horrified by finding
that a cushion given him by a miner
to sit upon, was a bag of powder.
Constant watchfulness on the part of
employers is the only safety for the
employed, where dangerous opera
tions are carried o.
THE CONDITION OF THE SOUTH.
This is the head of a squib in the
New York Republic , which goes on
to say that “ William Craft, a colored
gentleman from Georgia, delivered an
address before the Union League Club
last evening, his subject being the
condition of the South. He related
many instances of murder and arson
committed by the members of the
White League in the vicinity of his
home, which he was personally cog
nizantof.” An exchange, in noticing
this “ Haysograph,” says, “ Our
friends in Macon Will, many of them,
remember William Crafts, and be
swift to refute a statement that we
have our doubts was ever made by
Crafts. Certainly, if there have ever
been many instances of murder and
arson committed near Macon, which
was his home, it has been kept won
derfully quiet, and as to a White
League in Georgia, it is a fabrication
out of whole cloth.”
Two burglars were shot fatally at
Fort Hamilton, on the 14th inst.
Dougherty, before dying, said his dy
ing companion knew all about the
kidnapping of Charlie Ross. Mosher
is supposed to be the man with gog
gles who enticed the boys into the
buggy. The older boy was thrust
from the buggy and the younger one
carried off. The burglary was at
tempted on the residence ofex-Judge
Rulett Van Brant, on Coney Island
plank road, at Bay Ridge, Long
Island. The Judge saw them en
deavoring to force an entrance and
fired two shots, both of which took
effect, one killing Mosher instantly
and the other so wounding Dough
erty that he died in one hour after
wards. Dougherty stated positively
that it was Mosher who abducted
Charlie Ross.
A correspondent of the N. Y. Times ,
from Vicksburg, writes, touching the
killing of the negroes on Monday
la9t. The correspondent says: I have
made a most careful examination of
the facts, and I am of the opinion,
that the white citizens of Vicksburg
were under the circumstances, justi
fied in resisting with arms, the attack
which was made upon the city by
the negroes. They came in, it will be
remembered, to re-instate Sheriff
Crosby, after he had been forced to
resign. The killing of so many black
men, however, was unnecessary, and
cannot be justified. Many of them
were shot while they were retreat
ing, but it is not true that they were
killed while begging for mercy.
On the contrary, all who did so,
were protected by the white leaders.
The negroes were not entirely dis
banded at last accounts, and it was
feared they would depredate upon
the white families in the country.
Frank A. Smith, of Boston, has a
strange delusion He imagines that
he once killed a man, and is wearing
his life out in an effort to satisfy him
self that the man still lives. Smith
was staying at some back woods
tavern in Kansas and had a difficulty
in the bar-room with a border desper
ado named Charles Garner, who was
also boarding at the tavern. Garner
struck Smith, and Smith drew a
pistol. Garner ran to the door and
out, Smith following and firing when
the two were outside. Garner sud
denly disappeared and never return
ed to the tavern. Smith staid there
sometime awaiting tidings of Garner,
but none came, and he then nursed
himself into the delusion that he had
“shot him entirely out of existence.”
Smith returned to Boston fully con
vinced that he was a murderer. He
visits all the hotels and examines all
the registers several times a day to
find the name of Charles Garner; he
asks his friends whenever he meets
them it they have seen or heard any
thing of Charles Garner. If Charles
Garner is alive and will go to Boston
Frank A. Smith will be glad to meet
him. It is the only accident that
could happen to cure Smith’s mono
mania.
A Washington special to the Lou
isville Courier-Journal , says: The
President has again given an illus
tration of his extraordinary contempt
for public opinion. There was a
brilliant entertainment at the White
House, in compliment to his son and
the bride. To this were invited the
members of the Cabinet, the Judges
of the United States Supremo Court,
the higher officers of the army and
navy, the diplomatic corps, and last
(not least) Boss Shepherd and Rich
ard Harrington who is now under
going trial in the Court of the Dis
trict for one of the most disgraceful
crimes known to the law. In the
morning Harrington was in court,
his accusers and prosecutors being
the Assistant Attorney General
of the United States, "Mr. Hill
and Mr. Riddle, specially appointed
to the same office by the Department
of Justice, to conduct the prosecu
tion. At night the culprit’s robes
are dropped, and he appears in the
throng of distinguished visitors at
the White House, an honored guest
of the Chief Magistrate of the na
tion. The effect of the proceedings
upon the administration of criminal
justice can readily be seen. It is in
effect the President saying to the ju
ry, “acquit this man, for he is my
friend.” This affair is the sensation
of to-day. Its accompaniment was
seen in thecourt-room thisafternoon,
when the United States District At
torney Fisher appeared as counsel for
Whitely, now on trial, whose at
tempt to overcome a witness and
thereby influence the jury, has elicit
ed the severest condemnation of the
Judge who presides at the trial.
South Bend, la., is fortunate in pos
sessing among her citizens men of
broad and generous views and busi
ness sagacity which are combined to
benefit the city at large. Like Chi
cago, South Bend wanted an exten
tion of her water system, and issued
bonds to the amount of $65, 000, run
ning for twenty years and drawing 10
per cent, interest. Messrs. Stude
baker Bros., celebrated wagon manu
facturers, objecting to this high rate
of interest, induced the Common
Council to rescind the ordinance and
reduce the rate of interest to 8 per
cent. They then assumed the whole
issue, and finally disposed of the
bonds to a wealthy concern in New
ark, N. J. This transaction will have
saved the city in twenty years, at
compound interest, $133,900*
If a young lady has a brother, and
that brother wears a felt hat worths 2,
and should come home late at night
from seeing some friends, with that
hat crushed into “ forty-eleven
shapes, ” should immediatly sieze it
and by strewing a rosette of velvet
and some ribbon over it, she would
have a hat of the latest style, worth
about $lO.
The Marietta Journal favors a law
levying a tax of one dollar per year
upon every dog in the State—allowing
one to each family—and that failure
to pay said tax be followed by exter

The Chicago Tribune speaks strongly
against the passage of the civil rights
bill by Congress at this session, des
cribing the measure as trenching up
on the dangerous ground of socialism.
It says:
“Such legislation would not stop
with the negro. It would be but a
step to a like interference between the
relations of whites of different so
cialstanding. It would become as of
fensive in politics as coercive sump
tuary laws are. It would inevitably
bring disaster upon the political party
that should attempt to follow it in its
numberless and mysterious ramifica
tions. If at any time it shall appear
that the negro, North or South, is
debarred from protection of his
property, is defamed in his character,
or is deprived of any other right to
which ne is entitled as a free and
equal American citizen, we shall favor
the most rigid legislation that may
be necessary to restore him these
rights. But we protest against Feder
al government interference with those
relations which men must regulate
and manage for themselves, and
through their local legislative ma
chinery. Human nature will revolt
against statutory interference with
purely social distinctions, and the
black man and white man will not
be as good friends as they are now if
they are forced by law into mutual
intercourse of any kind which either
of them naturally or socially avoids.

WILD OATS.
FOR 1876.
The Champion American
COMIC PAPER.
Illustrated by a corps of the best Ameri
can artists, and Contributed to by the most
popular humorists and satirists of the day.
Wild Oats now enters successfully upou the
sixth year of its existence, and has become the
established humorous and satirical paper of
the country. It was started and continued the
first year as a monthly, then, to satisfy the de
mand of the public, it was changed to a fort
nightly. Still continuing its good work ot hit
ting folly as it flies, and showing up the politi
cal and social shams by its masterly cartoons
and pungent editorials, it achieved even great
er success than before, and was recognized as
the ablest and brightest of its class. Since then
we have yielded still further to the public de
mand, and now publish Wild Oats weekly!
It has literally grown into its present shape on
its intrinsic merits, being the first successful
weekly humorous paper ever published in this
country.
Among the artists especially engaged to fur
nish illustrations for Wild oats are Frank
Bellew, Thomas Worth, Hopkins, Wales, Shel
ton, Wolf, Jump, Keettles, Stuckhardt, Day,
Poland, and several others who arc vet un
known to fame.
In its literary departments Wild Oats will,
as it always has, stand alone and unapproach
able. At least one first-class serial will always
he found in its pages, by the best humorous,
satirical and character writers in the Unite..
States; while its sketches and squibs will be
sparkling, original and pointed.
Wild Oats will be first-class in every partic
ular, and on this account may be taken into
the best families without fear or suspicion, as
no word or illustration will appear that can
offend the most fastidious.
