WASHINGTON, March %, 1926
Ssr--My son having been afflicted for FIVE years
with white swelling and having applied every RENE,
dy recommended by the most eminent physicians
within my reach without success, at length procured
one jug Of DR. JYakins' Patent Specific Ointment and
made the application according to the directions ac-
companyng the Ointment, and state, for the benefit
of the afflicted that before jug used, perfect
cure was effected. My son has enjoyed good health
ever since. have doubt that to the Ointment alone
he is indebted, for nothing else was used for more
than nine months before the application OF the ONT
ment. Respectfully, JOHN COOKE.

upon the authority of . gentleman from Fort Gibson, that Professor BazRieH, a celebrated Botanist, who was exploring the regions of the " far Vest under the pat fonage of one of the scientific societies Of Paris, died recently at that Post. He had attached himself to the regiment of Dfa- goons, and returned with them from their iate expedition. ttis also stated, upon the same authority, that information had been received of the appearance of the Cholera among the 0sages; and that much sick ness prevailed among the Creeks and Cherokees.

The jury retired late on tie evening Of Wednesday, and in few mo- ments returned with verdict of Gully! and sentenced the prisoner toreceiye twen- ty-fve lashes, and pay fine of one hun dred dollars.

didates who receiyil the highest number of votes for the presientship; for 1t was the ground upon whichseyeral members of that body, vino had prderred AIr. CRAWFORD, voted first for himwho was their second choice, and whose upright and prosperous administration of he public affairs subse- quently justified theconhdence thus reposed in him.
 AfIer this event.Mr. CRAWFORD, though invited to remain t the head of the Trea. sury, retired from the General Govern ment to private life, from winch he was app pointed 10 a seat on the bench of his own State; in the discharge of the duties of which judicial office he was, it appears, oc- cupled at the time of hs decease.
 With hasty pen We have thus briefly traced the history of Mr. CRAwFoRp's public course as far as known to US. In his domestic relations, and in all the pri- yate relations of life. hd enjoyed no less the love of his family abd the affection of his friends, than in his public life he pos sessed their nnbounded respect and conf dence. From the world in which he acted so conspicuous a part, he has for years been cut of, but not from the attachments of those who knew him best, and whose hearts hayeneyereft him, fhoughso far with drawn from the sphere oflheir vision. The news of his decease, though, after so severe a prostfation of his physical powers, fairly within the course of nature, cannot be re- ceiyed with indifference by any one who ever had, like us, lhe opportunity of fa- miliar knowledge of his many public and private virtues.

BROAD ARKANsAs.n .n-ln replying to an editorial article in the Arkansas AdYo- cate of the 26th September, in which the above words are used, the Gazette says, :. wonder if thls was not written by Ar. Critteuden, it is lis language"
 We have not language sufficiently forci- bic to express the contempt which we feel upon perHsing such stuff fer tho author of Il. Mr. Gritienden Is measurably a stran- ger tosus, but among all our appropriateness, and we have formed many whom we hold ID high regard, We have not met with one who possesses any claims to either mind or intelligence, who has ever used an un- kind expression towards Mir. Critenden, and there are many, very many, who re- spect hnn for his talents and integrity, ad- mire him for his manly magnanimiiy, and love him for his private and social virtues.
 In using such unqualified language to- wards that gentleman, We plainly fofesee that we will call down the animadrersions of host of office seekers, and Hanwor- shlplng, time serving partisans; but the fear of then tispieasuTe will not drive us from frank expression of our honest con victloRs. 5sIn relation to tie pitiful charge which Woodruff insinuates, we feel perfect Y satisfied that its as false as it IS low and contemplibie. We have not been long iii the Territory, but tie little time which we have sPeiit ill t, has perfectly convinced Us that the people who compose it's population, are higsan1iadad, chivalric and enterprising people. If we are not mistaken then, if is natural to presume that the degrading and pltf1!ly slanderng warfare which Woodruff IS waging not only against Mr. Crittenden, but other high and talented gentlemen of Arkansas, will sooner or later excite the generations which II so justly merits. Cu- nous indeed must 1t appear, to the mtelh- gent abroad, that the reputation of men which in countries where they ere best known, and have longest lived, has stood without even a suspicion, is assailed in Arkansas with nerciless rapacity. That Crltfenden, that Pope, and such like men, should be accused of a want of integrity by an editor, who has been charged with a no less crime than perjury, and publicly challenged to the test of judicial insesti- gation, from which he pusilanimously shrunk, Is indeed sufficient 10 excite won dering curiosity. For years past Bir
 Cnttenden has been wantonly and mali ciously assailed in the Arkansas Gazette, ard although it's editor has once publicly acknowledged in it's columns that it has basely sIandered him, sill strange to tell, n IS patronzed and supported by the peo- pie of Arkansas. For long time he Gazette was the only paper in the Territory and many were forced 10 take it who had little or no relish fer fl, others have taken 1t because 1t espoused popular side, heud- ed as that side was by man who has been lohg known and esteemed by the people of Arkansas, some loo, have taken ii be- cause they believed in the integrity of it's editor, but the delusion Is fast wearing 1 away, and the people will he apt to falter in the support of one who so wickedly slan- ders the best, most intelligent and ablest men of their country.-Helena Herald.

 "Has he not been Iauded to the skies in every part of the country Has he not been shown in marble, and plaister, and wood, and canvass, enough to sratify his unsuitable appetite for applausel Has he not eraeed the ball room saloons in the mimic majesty of bust and pictures yet enough! Has he not hoated on flags and swung upon signpcsts Has he not pre- sided over ten thousand banquetting- -halls, and enliyened and excited the revels of de- bauch to his hearts content! Have not hogsheads of wine glittered III the wine glass for hIm, and been the pledge of the faith of his followers? Has not his head been stamped upon medals, and ribbons, and crockery, till we can't look about but he frowns upon us2-Hby.

 \ HARD CAsE.-A case of slave sue- ing for his freedom was tried few days since il Lincoln county, of which the fol- lowing IS brief statement of the particu- lars
 4 youth of about ten years Of age sued for bis freedom on the ground, that he was free white person. The court granted his petition to sue as a pauper, upon inspec- ton of his person. Upon the 6ial before the jury he was examined by the jury and by two learned physicians, all Of whom con cured in the opinion that very liftle, Ii any, trace Of negro blood could be discovered, by any of the external appearances. All the physiological marks and distinctions which usually characterize the African de- scent, had disappeared. His skin was fair his hair soft, straight, fine and white; his eyes blue, but rather disposed 10 the hazle- nut color; nose prominent the lips small and completely covering the teeth; his head round and well formed forehead high and prominent; the ears large, the tibia Of the leg straight, the feet hollow. Notwithstand- ing these evidences of his claims, he was proven to be the descendant of q mulatto woman and that his progenitors on the mo- ther's side had been, and still were slaves consequently he was found to be slave.
 From the feeling manifested by the com munity, where the trial was had, we presume his freedom will be purchased and hi. edn- cation provided for.-.Sait Rire,' Journal.
 D,9iesslties ot Editors.-The truth is an editor cannot step without treading on some body's toes. If he express his opin- ion fearlessly and frankly, he is arrogant and presumptuous. fine state facts with out comment, he dare not avow his senti- ments. If he conscientiously refuses to advocate the claims of an individual to office, he Is accused of personal hostility. jackanapes, who measures off words as verse, as clerk does tape by the yard, hands him a parcel of stuff that ginges
 like handful of rusty nails and aiinhlet, and if the editor is not fool enough 10 print the nonsense--' stop my paper, l won't patronlze man that's no better judge of poetry As if 1t were patronage to buy paper at about half more than so much waste paper would cost. One murmurs, because his paperis too literary; another, be- cause it is not literary enough. One grum- bles, because the advertisements engross too much room; another complains that the paper IS too large, he can't find time to read il all. One wants a type so small that a microscope would be indispensable in every family another threatens to discontinue bis paper unless the letters are half all inch iong-- and an old lady offered an additional price for paper that should be printed with such type as are used for handbills.
