lobe-Democrat In the case of the Southern express- company vs. St. Louie, Iron Mountain and Southern railroad a temporary injunction was allowed by Judge Treat in the United circuit court yesterday. This is a case of considerable Interest at present, as defining the respective rights of railway and express companies. The complainant, the Southern express company, re-ciFetTtbat the Iron Mountain and Seuthefn railroad is endeavoring to prevent said express company from exercising the privilege of transporting freight, etc over the line of said railroad company, according to the contract made February 1, 1874, and have given them notice of such ferny nation, to take plscewilhin sixty davs from March 26, 1880.

The com plainant also alleges that it is proposed by the railroad company to put in the place now occupied by them upon the line a company organized and controlled by the Iron Mountain company. The case came before Judge Treat on the 21st of May last, and a restraining order was issued, to be in force until the case should be brought to trial. The matter came before Judge Treat yesterday morning, The plaintiffs being represented by Clarence A. Seward, New York, and Judge Breckinridge, of St. Louis, and the defendants by Judge Bennett Pike, Thos.

Thoi-oughman and William R. Donaldson. The case was ably argued upon both sides, as was to be expected from such an array' of legal talent, and it resulted in the issuance of a temporary injunction by Judge Treat, which compels, the Iron Mountain company to extend to the Southern express company the same privileges which they themselves enjoy over their road, and will be in force until a float hearing, which, in the natural course of events, will occur in about two years. This is regarded as a victory for the Southern express company, although they fail in securing a monopoly of the express business over the Iron Mountain road. The following is the order The motion of the complainants for a preliminary injunction herein, according to the prayer of the bill, having been brought Ib-to be heard, aud the parties being by their counsel, and the court having already considered the questions nresented, after argument for the defendant as well as for theplainliff.doth hereby order that the defendants, its eiffi-cers, agents servants and employes be enjoined and restrained until final determination of uiis cause from preventing the Di.iintiH enjoying the same facilities in the extinct of its express business rmitted t.

topwihl' mabtim PROJIEITTIMG ATTORNEY. We are authortKl toannonaoe Hon. J. B. BARROW of DiwOuulT.ai tor Proiecntlng Attorney of the Win mild 1 Circuit', tnnJt'Ct to the action of the democratic convention.

Is reviewing the action of the Chicago conentin, the New York Herald of the 1-t heads its article, "The end of the republican party." Thk platform of the state democracy will be found among the proceedings of the convention in another column. We have not room in to-day's issue for the comments that we desire to make upon it. Senator Blaine is very em-pha'I: and decided in his opinion of General Grant' nomination. A few days ago he expressed himself as follows: ".4 for me, the people can mrrive my defeat, bid they will find it hard to survive Grant' nomination." THE EHOl'Et AT1C ELEt- lORlL The democratic state convention have put in the field an electoral ticket embracing some of the best talent and ability of the state. Kor elisors at large, Hon.

George W. Caruth, of Pulaski, is a lawyer of great abflity, a well-posted politician, and a man who in point of eloquence and oratory is unsurpassed by few men in the nation. He haS never before figured in a political character beryre the people of Arkansas, but he Is a life-long democrat and will inakVhis mark as ati effective speaker And win a repu'atipn that will enshrine him in the h.arts of his party Cblr Dab-. W. Jones, of Hemp stead, is the other electot at lae- an old wtran in war as in politics, well-kuown to the people of Arkan' aas before whom he has often appeared in the past conflicts of the party.

He will have a good ac-' eunt to give of himself before he will get through with the campaign. From the first district, we have the Hon. A. ('. Brewer, of Crittenden, oue of the must popular and intluential citizens of the northeast.

He is a rnemoer of the present legislature, and made considerable reputation as a tl u-ut speaker and effective worker ih the last session. He will do good work in his district and have a creditable account to give of his stewardship when the impaign is over. From the second district we have Hon. T. C.

McRie, of Nevada, a young man of brilliant talents, who made a fine reputation as a member of the legislature of 1876. He is a very eloquent and forcible speaker, and will discharge his duties ably and faithfully. From the third district we have the old "war horse" of Saline, Hon. Jerome Henderson, who made a 8ne reputation as a forcible and argumentative speaker, while discharging the duties of prosecuting attorney of his district from 1874 to 1878. From the fourth congressional district we have Hon.

J. L. Aber-, nathy, of Lawrence. He has once held the position of prosecuting at- torney xiLhiajcircu andwasja can dldate for judge in the fast state campaign. He is an able lawyer, an effective speaker, and very popular In the northern part of the state -where he is well-known ap-precia ed.

Altogether the ticket is an able and strong one, in whose bands the standard of the party will be gallantly and effectively bornt. there was no public question in volved in the cinTertTT-allbeing democrats and souud ones at that there was of course a generous rivalry among the friends of the different aspirants. The opponents of General Xlhurchill were all gentlemen of distlnctlonTlbefore tie public, gentlemen of jiblllty atd character, against whom nothing could be urged as private citizens or public officials. Governor Miller, who has been a favorite with the democracy of this state for the last thirty years, and justly and deservedly bo, was beaten in a great measure by that sentiment of hostility to a tnird term, which has been made prominent and active by General Grant's candidacy a third time for the presidency. Against Governor Miller's record of thirty years as a public man, or against the excellence of his private lite, uothiug could be said.

As for Colonel Wilson, his highest eulogy is, that during a lon' life in the state, he has always so borne himself as to wiu the confidence and esteem of all who' kno him, and in the administrations of the public trusts, at one time or another placed in his hands, he has been diligent, faithful and able. He had well earned the devotion of the many friends who, in this contest, gathered around aud stood by him. The other candidates. Colonels Smithee, Fishback and Grace, weie all gentlemen of distinction in the party, active and able laborers in the hours of need, and of high aud unimpeachable characters. The contest was a long and a warm one, but, during it all, no words of personal reflection were ever heard to fall from any one of the candidate, or from any of their friends, derogatory to any other of the candidates.

It was a brave, persistent aud hotly-contested race from the beginning to the end, but it was conducted throughout, and all around, with the utmost courtesy and fair-dealing. General Churchill himself has occupied many positions of public trust some of them post) of danger, where were required great patience, presence of mind, quicknea of wit and stern courage. In them all he acquitted himself with honor and success. He has always, under all circumstancess and on all occa sions, been fouud equal to the emergency. He has never been found wanting.

He is now called to a higher position than he has yet occupieda new field in which he has never been tried but we predict that, as in others, he will in this, come fully up to the measure of the expectations of his friends. Whilt he is a map of pluck and spirit, he also possesses reat amiability of character. He is true aud devoted to his friends; to-his enemies, where he has any, he is always fair and frank. The democracy ha-ve good cause to be proud of their candidate for governor. Of Chief Justice English nothing need be said.

Every man, woman, andVchild in the state know him, and he was renominated to the high position he has held for the last eight years, simply because he ought to have been. His eminent abilities coupled with his long and efficient service precluded any rivalry or opposition. Judge D. W. Carroll, as a matter of course, received a renominaiion as the presiding officer of the chancery court.

In filling the position so ably the last two years, he clearly proved to his party that it would be wise to select dim to fill it two years more. The nomination of Maj. Calloway as clerk of the chancery court was also a matter of course. No citizen of the state, of any party, race, or color, or previous condition of servitude, who has ever had business in the chancery clerkls office, would want to meet any one else there bnt Maj. Calloway, and bis courteous and efficient clerks.

As secretary of state Col. Frolich ran in without opposition. He has made a careful and efficient secre tary. He has added greatly to his officeTTTBr" amhgem6Bt6riHe state's library and public records, and in improving and adorning the capital and public grounds. Col.

John Crawford was renominated for auditor of state. He would have had, as he bad hoped, a very quiet canvass of It, had it not been for twoyounggentlemen, Mr.Shop-pach, of Saline, and Mr. Holland, of i-OTJlAtelreas urerweha et as we have lonjrjknown won Id have, Maj. William E. Woodruff, jr.

The honor was well conferred, as it was richly deserved; Maj. Woodruff will be efecttd and he will make, as his father wany years ago made, a faithful and an efficient officer. Major D. W. Lear was nominated for stat land commissioner.

He beat two clever gentlemen, who during the canvass kept him pretty busy. Major Lear has been a valuable officer to the state, having accomplished an immense amount of work during the time he has been in office. List, but not least, our nominee for attorney general is Major C. Moore. This contest, next to that for goverrtor, was the most hotly contested.

Mfj Moore, Colonel Martin, Judge Thrower, Mr. Coek-erill and Colonel Farr, all men ol character and ability, were can didates. Major Moore, the success ful one, is a young lawyer ot promise, and will make an honest, efficient and able officer. Our whole ticket is an excellent one, and will be elected next September. THE REPUBLICAN PARTY ARI) THE IH.HlKf 1W Senator Hoar, in his speech on taking the chair of the Chicago convention, said that the next presidential contest was to be fought on the issues of twenty years ago.

We hope a note ot this will be made by those republicans and disgruntled democrats who are constantly charging that the democratic party are forever fighting over the battles of the past and wasting their euergits on dead issues. The great.issues of twenty years ago were the abolition of slavery and the perpetuation of the union. Slavery has been abolished for nearly twenty years, and the union was restored fltteen or sixteen years ago. There Is not a man, much less an organized party, in the nation that advocates or desires either the restoration of slavery or the disruption of the union; and yet the Massachusetts senator says that the next presidential contest Is to be fought on those two dead Issues. But why fi8'ht or try to fight a presidential contest on these issues? If slavery has not been destroyed, and the union not restored, then the republican party which has controlled the government for twenty years has been a stupenduous failure; aud the pompgus declarations in their state and national platforms that they have succeeded on these issues are flaunting lies! A.id after twenty years trial with confessed failure, it is time for that party to retire and let some other try its hand.

But Mr. Hoar knows well enough that there is.no truth jn the charge implied in his declarations; that there Is no danger of slavery heinj; ri'stored, or of the union being dtroyed. He knows 'l enough and there is no nr. iu the nation who ki ws better than he does imi there are not the slight rounds for sucii silly and p.nfik fears. He knows thet i( utwih beyond the power of fnny either revive slavery destroy slavery, and in fomitsiing a imiii-paign on these false ntui nVii ious issues, he shows hinseil to be a miserable demagogue l.e artisan passions rise high above his patriotism and regard tor the truth.

He belongs to that cia8 of urboi. radical intolerants, who liveouly la the memories aud conflicts of the past, never learn or forget anything, and would continue to keep alive forever the memory of issues and struggles that divided the country years ago, and which the earnest, sincere, patriotic and pro gressive men of all parties, and especially of the democratic party, are trying to forget and wipe out of existence. The democratic party seizes hold of the live, practical and progressive issues of the day, and would push forward as well in efforts to restore fraternal peace and harmony the lately divided sections, as to build up the- material- prosperity of thu country, and promote the honor and glory of' the nation. This is the party for the- present JourTd not the party that would subordinate all the great interests, bright pfospectB nd glorious hoiea of the republic to the degrading and humiliating contest of renewed struggle over dead and buried Issues of a sectional character. Tub troubles of the republican party will have Just begun when the Chicago convention shall end.

We care not who may be Its candidates, or whether their deliberations end In peace and harmony or in a divided and distracted party, it is within the easy power of the democratic party to beat i hem at the polls next November. All that the Cincinnati convention has to do to secure success and victory for the party, is simply to avoid the errors and blunders of the Chicago convention by rising Hoove the passions of jx'rsonal homage and giving their devotion to the interests of their party and their country. II they can only keep down that degrading and abominable thing of man-worship, and discarding all personal considerations, honestly and intelligently labor for the best Interests of the party and their country, success will oown the ir efforts with glorious victory. There is a splendid opportunity for trie democracy to win a glorious victory. We hope and believe they will prove themselves equal to the occasion.

The Austin Triumph, speaking of the proper noun for the democratic nomination for the presidency, says: "In our opinion, Mr. Tilden is not that m.ui; and, although, so far as we are individually concerned, we would as soon see Mr. Tilden in the pnsidential chair as anyone else, still we can't help but feel that it would be exceedingly unwise to put him in nomination, because there are thousands of democrats who have said and still say, ihey cannot and will not support him." Mr. L. B.

Mitchell has purchased the Austin Triumph, and is now its sole owner and editor. We wish him success, and believe, with the ability he displays in the get up of the paper, he will win it. The Triumph comes to us greatly improved. COL. DKOAUHKAL) OX MORRISON.
