Let the democrats and conservatives of the Second (this) and the Third congressional distriqta follow the example ot the First. "Whlea they assemble in their conventions to nominate their standard-bearers, let I them select their leading young mennot old fogies, party hacks or chronic i politicians. The days of availability old fogyiam and partyism are Mast. Let Arkansas unite with her southern sister states in sending to the national capital men of thought, men of action, representative men. Let the south show the world that the line of men who formerly thought and acted for her in the halls of congress, though long overshadowed, ia not extinct- The Searcy Record says of CoL Gaose: Our nominee for congress.

Col. L. C. Gause, the people all know too well for us to speak in praise of him. He is a clever, genial gentleman; possessed of many noble traits of.

character; well learned, and will command that respect in congress that is due a gentleman, and enable him to represent our wants to tbe fullest extent. He is the choice of our convention and we don't think there will be any of our people but what will give him a hearty support. Hurrah for Gause. Believe he is the only man to whom we have any froperly constituted right to give that. 1 un wao was strong auvocaie oi toe majority report adopted by the late con- Tention, uses the following language, in a We hear unpleasant rumors from Little Rock.

The author of the resolutions adopted by the convention on the 20th of June was Mr. Smoote, the most ardent friend Mr. Brooks had in that convention. The sixth resolution authorised a confer, ence with committees of the reform republican party. Had Mr.

Smoote no ob ject in providing for such a conference? Jud be not know the universal wish of the convention that the Brindle ticket should be modified Did not the convention understand that the object of the sixth resolution was to bring about such a moderation as would produce harmony? It now seems, however, that this-sixth resolution was designed as a trap to ensnare- democrat; that it was never intended for use, and that, from the very start, the Brindle never meant to modify their ticket. This resolution was.tberefore, utterly useless, save for delusion. Rumor says that Mr. Brooks declines to agree or to advise any concession as regards his ticket; that as his candidates are all in the field, they cannot be expected to decline their positions, and that as we are willing to vote for him, we must Vote for all of his ticket. This looks as though self were paramount to principle.

It looks like a trick, and we don't like tricks or tricksters. It looks as though a small minority of negroes snd few office-hungry whites are inclined to dictate the Candidates for a large majority of the whites and. tax-payers of this state," and we always spurn dictation. Life is but a continued compromise. So is government; and if Mr.

Brooks is determined to win in this wsy, or not at all.be may yet learn that the democratic party can get along without him. about as easily as he can without them. It is doubtless true that some thousands of democrats would vote listlessly the straight Brooks ticket. To enlist their enthusiasm, and draw them to the polls in mass, some well-known voices rmwt call them to duly, Then they would respond like soldiers to the sound of the bugle. DEATH OF JUAREZ.

A few days since the telegraph announced the deatb of the Mexican president, Juarez, who for forty years occu pied a prominent place in Mexican affairs. By profession, he was a lawyer. He had" served in the legislature, in the congress, in the cabinet, as president of the high court of justice, as governor," and president. He was intimately connected with all the rSvolutionsof that exceedingly revolutionary country, from the time he first engaged in public life to tbe hour of bis death. In 1853 he was banUhd the country by Santa Anns in 'ao, when that dictator wss overthrown he returned, and was made secretary of state.

Subsequently he became president, and for eleven years priAr to his death filled that office through "some of the' stormiest experiences of that stormy republic It was he who overthrew the empire of Maximilian and executed the emperor since which, although there has been several attempted revolutions, he firmly held the -reins of power. He was perhaps the most remarkable man who ever figured in the affairs of a nation which seems doomed to perpetual misfortune. Possessed of uncommon natural ability, strengthened and refined by a better education than is usually afforded the members of his race, he added to it a' high ambition, so indomitable will, a quenchless courage, and thorough knowledge of the people whose destinies he did so much to shape. Now that this firm hand has dropped the reins, all predictions concerning the" future are idle, If, as it is said Ledro de Tejada, the president pro sympa" thizes with those who are now trying to overturn the government, it must go to pieces at once, and from now until alter the new election ordered by congress, we may anticipate intrigue, confusion and a general unsettlement of matters. When the election is over, the successful one will probably have to fight with one or all of his competitors, and even those who have opposed Juarez, most successfully will soon see cause to lament his untimely death.

Mexico contains no man capable of filling bis plsce. COL C. CAUSE. Col. Thomas, of the Pine Bluff Press, thus refers to the democratic nominee for congress in the First district i -We have known the talented nominee long and intimately, both in public and private life.

We know his brilliant military record, having served with him on the march, in camp, in bivouac, on the field, most of the time from the day that we went out in the same regiment together (the First) to the close of tbe long internecine strife. In every posi tion, ana upon every occasion, be has always borne himself as a worthy and well-approved citizen or soldier. He is distinguished alike for gallantry on the field, the exercise of prudence and wisdom in the councils of the state, and the uniform practice of the amenities and courtesies which lend a charm to social in'ercourse. i When he had barely become of age. Col, Gause entered the confederate ser vice as firtt lieutenant of company G.

At the close of the war be went back to the par, to which he had been admitted just before it opened, and soon placed himself at its front. He was elected to represent the county of Jackson in the lower house of the legislature of 1866-7 (said by manv to have been, take it for all in all, the atleM legislature that ever aFwerab'ed i.i the state), and in that dialinguu-hed body was aaaigned a place in its firt rank.

N. May, in the county of Pope. i' As one of the attorneys engaged in the defense of Voaaoa and othero, on a charge of murder, and as one ot the attorneys representing; the sta'e in they case against Xoungaad others, I desjre to file this paper, among the pat era in said case, sig nifying my desire to withdraw from the prosecution thereof, and giving in brief my reasons wereior; 1. The prisoner Young cannot be i found. Dod son and Ilickox, and none of their friends, aa I am informed, can traverse the county, without imminent peri! to ad out testimony and procuie the attendance of witnesses.

The prison-' era and avitnesses (so callei) entered lh a place armed, apparently to the number of aeventy or eighiy, having ammunition, double-barreled shot guns and about two revolvers eecn. I. hey departed in military sty le armed ana; mounted. Added to this, thete seemed be called out a po lice fores ia the town of Kassellville, armed iu a like manner, lhe eympa thies of tha latter, from, what I could learn, are "entirely with the prisoners. The former are said to came from sn en campment near Dover, i 4 I have a pride in my profession, and, in consequence, the highest regard for an 4 independent judiciary.

I consider that these armed men that hold, ia the lan- guageof their counsel, this court has no jurisdiction to examine into their cases. and that it seems they would not submit to orders of your hoor, un- less such orders should be entirely agree able to tuem. i Because your honor intimates that the cases of treason ottered to be preferred xounz and other ciimns had -r better not now be inquired into, bat left to be passed npon by a grand jury at tbe regular term of the circuit court of this county and because it further appears i I that the press is inflaming the passions 1 or the people, and throwing oodtacies in the wsv of a fair and impartial exsmina- tion. and has even counseied wituesses to remain sway, and the arming of citizens. A court surrounded, by armed men, who deny it Jurisdiction, can hope to do little for the settling of the differences of the people, i I have, wiih my associate counsel, ad- vied nay clients to waive aa examination and eater into bond, ia the interest of peace, of law and order.

I can see no juLlic good that could result from a fur- tuer investigation, which, settles nothing, especially in the midat of an armed hand. and under te lire of an ln iicrett ana in 11 tmmatory press which denounces I he Court, and dott cot even accord to an at- 0 AIRO AND" FULTON RAILROAD SALE.

July 29. Tbe following letter, addressed to Hon. Thompson aad Gen. R. Brinkerhoff, chairman of the democratic and liberal state executive committees of Ohio, has just been made 'v --'t -pf Chscrsir ati, July 20, 1872.

4 Gent I have your note inviting me to be present at the msis meeting of democrats and liberal republicans which will be held at Columbus on the to ratify the action of the Cincinnati, Cleveland and 'Baltimore conventions. I am sorry to decline an important invitation given fn such kind words, but I cannot be with yon. i Lest I may be misunderstood, I desire to say that I accept the action of tbe conventions referred to, and shall vote for Mr. Greeley. The presidential campaign is now fully and finally arranged.

-There will be hut two candidates both republicans and we must choose between them. It will not be difficult, and while we should not hope for a democratic administration under Mr. Greeley, yet, nominated as he ha been by two national conventions, one republican and the other democratic, we may expect sn administration that will not be partisan; and after alt, such an ad-mininistraf or should be very welcome and may be just what is most needed for the present hour. Following a heavy civil war. will' be opportune and most suitrd to heal animosities and restore good will between, all sections of our country and all our people.

I differ in politics with Mr. He was not my choice, but he' hs been chosen. and with extraordinary unanimity, and is now before us asj the only representative of conciliation, and under pledges for important reforms. His great ability, courage and patriotism are unquestioned, and if. be selected we have good reason to believe we will get reconciliation and reform.

It. he is defeated we already know we will not get them, but tbe administration now closing will be repeated. It should, not bs re peated, nor. should wa make it an example for, imitation by the indorsement by a re-election. As: a soldier.

Gen, Grant is justly distinguished his war services were very great and should be acknowledged by all. They have been attd are generously -acknowledged, snd we shall not forget them; but he is not suited for civil magistracy, and we should allow his administration to close with the pend ing: term. I I intended to write at more length and some detail, bat what I have already said is a fair reply to your Thanking ryou for your flattering invitation, I am, very respectfuiiyi S. uxoesbeck.

Gantt's excuse in full, that the people may have the benefit of posting-from all It will be observed that he gives as reasons for withdrawing from the eases that "it seems apparent they 'he prisoners would! not submit 'to orders of your honor, unless such orders should be entirely agreeable tp and because they were guarded by seventy or eighty' armed men.

(This was by order of the court.) ''In' bther words, Gen. Gantt would create the impression that the court was intimidated, and that civil jaw could not be enforced. As a aet-cif to this Judge May told Mr. Shinn and Mr. Howell, of Russellville, that such an idea never entered his head that the reason he did not proceed with his court was because of sickness, snt be-saase- he was satisfied the investigation would only result in the acquittal of the prisoners indeed, as expressed it, there was no evidence whatever against 'r'-i It ia something new to hear a Minstrel official say he favors "an independent judiciary," as Mr.

Gibson states. Te take it aa a sign of better' times Really, the reasons assigned by Gen. Gantt look, very much like an excuse to get out a of the ease, because VLe as Judge May stated, there was no evidence against the prisoners, and because he must be satisfied of the guiltiness of Dodson, Ilickox Co. The general evidently gave the reasons above on the suppositioa that a bad excuse was better than none. Now a few plain words to the food people of Pope county: The deliberate.

This, we. have good! reason to believe, is the sole desire of the adminis tration, but urge upon the people to keep be orderly and law-abiding in every respect. Be more prudent than ever before. Let no unguarded words.

which could possibly be construed against you, escape your lips. Let no imprudent act be committed. Be firml be; vigilant. be quiet, be orderly by alt means. We are now upon the eve of an election that must seal, for1 weal or woe the future destiny of the state.

Remember hat any unguarded set would be taken advantage of to injure the people of the hole state. The time is coming 1 when the people will have it in their power to see that murderers do not I ero nn- whipped of justice because of their adherence to a particular It ia not yet. STATE POLITICS. From all quarters of the in a manner that demands that they shall be heard, come up expressions of opinion irom me democratic and conservative people in favor of a modification of the state an I electoral ticket. To go iinto the einvasswith the ticket it stands in vites cerUin defeat.

i The Searcy Record pays the following compliment to our talented1 townsman whose name heads this article We are truly glad to see that merit is receiving its reward in the case of the candidacy for congress from the Second district. True worth, these days, is being so much sacrificed for the sake of carrying out policy and very often it ia the worst-kind of policy1 that we cannot help but feel rejoiced to see the name of a gentleman prominently mentioned for that office whom the people of the state hnve learned to love and esteem, by the many and firm stands that ha has takes in their behalf at a time, too, when I it wag worth one's head to speak in opposition to the powers that be. We mean that noble soul, Col. Robert C. Newton, of Little Rock.

He was mentioned for that position some time ago by muny prominent men, and now we see several correspondents in different papers favoring bim. Ooe in particular, in the Arkadelphia Standard, thus speaks, every word of which we indorse, and which all here knowj him to be, too: Eminent as a lawyer aiad scholar, of unquestionable integrity, courageous in the advocacy of his principles, always firmly contending for what be believes to be right, regardless of the consequences, and, withal, generous to a fault, there is no name among the many suggested which would create such a favorable impression with the people, and with it such an irresistible power, as that of Col.

They look small in comparison- with a broad-gauge, but this is their great advantage.
