Stewards Election.

The following extract from a letter of a 1 Washington correspondent of the Richmond Examiner expresses the views of one evidently well informed of the impressions and views of politicians at the seat of the federal government; | 1 regard the reelection of Seward as a far more serious affair than that of an ordinary federal Senator. It proves his powerin his own State, and the strength of that fusion party in the North of which he is the embodiment and the head and front. There is no longer doubt that he will be the candidate of the fusionists in the next presidential election. He is the acknowledged leader of conglomeration of political elements and isms that is already strong enough to carry every State but Illinois (and probably that tool north of Mason's and Dixon's line.
 fear his election to the Senate settles the question of his election to the presidency. No doubt the democratic party will nominate a southern man. Seward will be the candidate of the northern fusionists; and the contest will be between northern candidate sure to receive the vote of every northern State, and the south ern candidate equally sure to receive every southern vote. In such a contest, the South of course must be out-voted; and Seward must be elected President of the Union and executor of laws, organic and legislative, which he holds to be legitimate means of exterminating slavery
 In that too probable, butmost deplorable even4, the South will be obliged to hoist the flag of secession; and to march out of camp in which she could remain neither with honor nor safety.
 do not believe, for one, that she ought to remain in confederacy presided over by Will liam II. Seward; ; and fear the hour is rapidly approaching when Virginia will have to take up the words of her immortal son, uttered in an earlier but not more solemn political crisis, and proclaim to herpcople and hersisters the South -" We must tight-we must fight" No one can mistake the temper of the Northern people at this time. The fusionists are triumphant and eXultant everywhere--and the whole North looks upon the nomination of Seward for the Presidency as only little more certain than his election to that office. There is but one hope of defeating him and his fusionists It is in preserving intact the organization of the Democratic party in the States and in the Union. The Know Nothing movement is the most dangerous agency that has yet been brought to bear against that organization, and ought to be checkeo and deleaed, promptly and eectually, everywhere at the South.

A Horrible Affair.

1 The following is one of the most horrible af- fairs that we have ever read. We copy from the Dayton (Ohio) Gazette of the 27th ult
 EXECUTION OF ARTEs, THE MURDERER, AT SIDNEY.-The wretched man, who, as our read- CTS will remember was convicted in the court of common pleas of Shelby county, a few months ago, of an atrOclous murder committed on the person of his own daughter, was hung yesterday. From private sources we learn that the execution exhibited a scene of horror, to which it would be difficult to furnish parallel The trial, the prison, and the near approach of death had failed to sublue the spirits of the guilty man, or reduce him to a submissive frame of mind. Since his conviction his con- versation had consisted principally of expres- sions of defiance to the officers of the law. varied with the most horrid blasphemies and obscel1ities As he was a very strong muscular man, and had repeatedly asserted that he would not be hung, the sheriff, as matter of percau- ton, had called in outsiders to the number of twenty-five or thirty to assist in the execution of the sentence; but such desperate resistance did the negro make, that even this force was hardly equal to the terrible task that devov- ed upon them. As the condemned man was taken out of his cell, in spite of the heavy IiohS to HlS dllllS anu legs, He UurSC away rom those in charge of him, and for some time kept everybody at bay by striking in all direc. tions with his shackled hands. At length, by the united force of some twenty men, he was overpowered and dragged to the gallows But even after he was swung eff he managed to spring up, and, by tightly holding on to the rope, to keep himself alive for half an hour, until there danger that his life would over run the time limited by law for the execution, anl the officers were obliged to choke him by main force.
 An immense crowd had assembled to witness the horrid scene, but the strictly private cha racter of the execution disappointed their ex- pectations.

APPOINTMENTS BY THE PREsIDENT-It will be seen by reading the letter of our Washing ton City correspondent, that Col. H. M Rector has been appointed Surveyor General of Ar kansas in place of George Melbourne, and that Dr. c. w. Dean has been appointed Superin- tendant of Indian Affairs west of this State, in the place of Gov. Drew.
 Both of these appointments, we think. are excellent. Of Col Rector, of whom We have had occasion before to speak so often, is need- less for us to say word here He is, in every respect qualified for the station, and deserves it too, at the hands of his party. His appoint ment meets with general favor.
 Dr. Dean, of Washington county, will make an excellent Superintendent. He is . gentle man of fine capacity, and most excellent sense He is a true democrat of the old school and will, in the discharge of his official duties, do credit to himself and honor to the administra- ton.

Later from Fl PaSO.

The San Antonio Ledger of the 1st inst, has the following intelligence:
 Gidding's train, in charge of Capt R. E. Crane, arrived last night with the United States mail from Fl Paso, having left that poce on the 11th February.
 We are indebted to Capt. Crane for the fol- lowing information:
 Capt. Stanton of the 1st dragoons when out accusing with a party of fifteen men, was at- tackled by Indians, supposed to be the Conan ches, near the White mountains, and Capt. Stanton and two men were killed
 Lieut.. Sturges, 1st dragoons, with party of troops, went in pursuit of the murderers as soon as the news was received, and succeeded in overtaking and killing three of them,
 The rifles and rangers are securing the Limpa mountains in every direction acting in concert with the troops of the upper department.
 But one Indian was seen on the route, whO mounted upon an excellent horse, rode within one hundred yards of the party, after night- This was before they left the valley of the Rio Grande.
 A private letter from Ell Paso to a gentleman in this city, states that Major Cunningham, pay master at Santa Fe, had been robbed of S40,00O, in consequence of which there was no none! to pay off the troops at Fl Paso
 The same letter states that it was reported that Capt. Stanton shot down five Indians be- fore he fell.

or IHt AFue UemOcr The New Road Law.

am told that some persons in the county of Pope are displeased with the provisions of the special road law. It doubtless has it's defects. but in my humble opinion its worst defect is, that it IS not general. The principle lat our roads should be made and kept in repair by property tax, Is one for which 1 have long con- tended. The old law which is still in force in most of the counties of this State is very little better than none. It is not only grossly unjust and unequal as regards the rich and the poor, but does not by any means bear equally upon the property holders. Suppose case-A and B have each 10000 dollars. A buys negroes with his money; amongst his hands are ten men liable to road duty, they are liable to work l2 days ill the year, but we will suppose they are only warned out to work three days; this togeth- CT with his own labor will mal thiaty-t4ree days, which at one dollar a day will make S33 B buys land near As plantation, but Instead of cutlvatlng 1t, he goes to some eastern city or to Italy or La Belle France to pass the time.
 A and his hands are compelled to pay tax in labor of thirty dollars, or perhaps much more to make road through B's land, thereby enhancing 1t i'll value, whilst B pays iustO Is this equality? Is thIs justice? But let us SC, how 1t operates with the rich and the poor. c has ten thousand dollars at ten per cent interest. five thousand acres of rich land, hocks and herds on every hill' but he is a J.

He compelled bv stern necessity to live from "hand 10 mouth" but the overseer warns him out to work three days to repair road for which he has no use, because he does not own wagon or horse in the world. h the name of humanity is this justice? Is equality? Is itrepublicalism? Is it any thing but tyranny and oppression.
 In many ofthe old States roads are kept up by tax on property South Carolina, think is one Of them. l kaov that the law is a good one for have seen its operations. IL is devoutlv to be hoped that the citizens of those counties where the new road law is in force will give it fair trial for the next two years, and that the next assembly will make it general law Until this Is done we shall never have good roads in Arkansas, nor shall we ever deserve the name of rel ublcans.
 It is enough that the man who has nothing but his life, has to stake that to protect the pro- perty of the wealthy in time of war; that he has to pay one dollar because he carries head on his shoulders In the name of heaven let him off at that. 1 have much confidence in the property holders of Arkansas. 1 believe they will repair the roads without murmur, at least } majority of them. And I honestly believe \ they will find it to their own advantage.

GrWe copy the following from the Paducah

V Wecopy the following from the Paducah Pennant of Wednesday, Feb 28.
 HORRIBLE MURDER OF A FEMALE-The h. Human Pe'pet,ator of tue Deed Arrested-7ra etc.-Our city was thrown into great excitement on Saturday morning last, by the report of a most brutal and inhuman murder, committed the night before. It appears that man named Graham had been living in the upper part of the city, with a woman of il-fame, named Mor rlson They had been occupy ing the house orly for few days, and seemed to be living very peacebly together until the night in ques ton. During the night, a " oman in the ad join- ing room, hearing noise in the room of Graham, went to the door, and as she started in met Gra- ham, his hands dyed in blood knife in one hrnd and his rifle in the other. He remarked that he had killed HEB.-that.. there was another person he intended to kill, and that he would then leave Paducah." When the woman reach- cd the room she found the murdered girl in the agonies of death. Her throat was black, where the scoundrel had choked her while he inflicted some twenty odd wounds upon her body, neck, face and head. She expired in few moments afterwards. Ths coronor's jury rendered yer dict in accordance with the foregoing facts.- Graham was arrested on Saturday, and but for the fact that he was hurried of to jail immedi- ately, we fear our city would have been the scene of the fearful vengeance of mob law. Gra- ham was brought before Judge Smedlev. on Monday last, and after an investigation of the facts, he was ordered to jail, to be heavily iron ed to wait his final trial at the next term of our circuit court Graham is widower of about forty years of age-the girl Morrison was about eighteen.

Democratic Meeting.

Agrecably to previous notice, large and re- spectable portion of the citizens of Lawrence county ass smbled in the town of Smithville, on the Eth day of March, 1855, for the purpose of selecting democratic candidate to represent the counties of Lawrence and Fulton in the State Senate in place of the Hon. w. H. Jud- kiHs, deceased:
 When, upon motion, B. N. Golf was called to the chair, and L. s. Cobb appointed secretary.
 The object of the meeting was explained by the chrman, when, upon motion Of Martin Simpson, the name of Alfred Gay was present. ed to the meeting, and unanimously nominated as the choice of the democracy of old Lawrence.
 Upon motion of J. Wilbanks, the secretary was instructed to furnish the Little Rock True Democrat with copy of these proceedings for publication.
 Alexander Simpson was then called for, and entertained the meeting with speech of an hour and a half in defence of democratic prin- ciples, and condemnatory of the know nothines.

Letter from Washington.
Washington, D. C., March 5h, 1855. Adjournment of Congress-Appointnaents,

Adjournment ef Congress-Appointnsents, etc., etc. On yesterday (Sunday,) at 12 o'clock, noon, the 33d Congress was brought to close, all things considered, in quiet, orderly manner.- During the last AS hours of the session, many important measures were adopted by being tack ed as riders on the several appropriation bills, and some of them very unwisely. But so long as Congress will throw away time in the earlier part of the session, and do all the public busi ness within few hours at the close, legislation will be defective.
 Col. Cooper would not accept the superin- tendancy, and consequently retains the Choctaw Agency. Dr. c. w. Dean, of Fayetteville has been appointed and confirmed as superintend- ent.
 Col. H. M. Rector has been appointed and confirmed Surveyor General of the State, vice Melbourne, removed.
 The Memphis navy yard was not reestablish- cd, although both Houses were in favor of it by clear majority; but it was defeated by a trick
 Col. Warren returned home about a week ago. Johnson, Sebastian and Greenwood left here to-day.
 The bounty land bill has become law, and gives to all who have served, since l79O, four teed days, or one day in battle 16O acres of land. This will give to those who have re- celved warrants for 40 acres, 12O acres more; for 80 acres, 80 acres more. 1t is estimated that it will require 2OO,OOO,OOO acres of land to carry out the provisions of this act.

It will be regarded as a less serious objection

It will be regarded as less serious objection than that already stated, but one which should not be overlooked, that the privileges bestowed upon the contractors are without correspondent advantages to the government. which receives no sufficentpecuniary, or other return for the immense outlay involved; which could obtain the same service of other parties at less cost; and which, if the bill becomes law, will pay them a large amount of public money, without adequate consideration-that is will in effect confer gratuity, whilst nominally making pro- vision for the transportation of the mails of the United States.
 To provide for making a doration of such magnitude, and to give to the arrangement the character of permanence which this bill propo- ses would be to deprive commercial enterprise of the benefits of free competition, and to es- tablish monopoly, in violation of the sound- est principles of public policy, and of doubtful com patjbility with the constitution. | am of course, not unmindful of the fact that the bill comprises various other appropra- tions which are more or less important to the public interests; for which reason my objections to it are communicated at the first meeting of the House following its presentation to me, in the hope that by amendment of bills now pend- ing. or otherwise, suitable provisions for all the objects in question may be made before the ad- journment of Congress.

THE PRESIDENTS VETo MESSAGE This document, though an able and thorough vin- dication of the Presidents refusal to sign the French spoliation bill, has created very con- siderable amount of bitterness in the whic jour- nals They go off in the loftest strains of de- nunciation against the veto power-the "one man power" as they are pleased to denominate it. They have never looked upon the veto clause in the constitution with any degree of tolei aton since the days of Gen. Jackson, where he used it so successfully to crush the United States bank. They denounce it as a stain m. on our organic law and advocate its a brocation on all occasions.
 The message makes three points against the French claimants that we think conclusive; 1st. that this government never released France from the payme1 cf these claims in conside ration of any advantage to tself-that all claims admitted to be just were provided for and paid under the convention of 1903, and that other claimants were not debarred by any act of this government from obtaining redress from the French nation.
 These points, so clearly established in the veto message, decides the question: His veto was righteous act
 As to the veto power, we are decidedly an advocate of it. Under the present aspect of political affairs, we see no other safety for the South than in the bold, firm and manly exer- else of this power The next Congress will be abolition and Know Nothing, and unless they are sternly met with tn: executive II forbid" there would be no predicting the consequent
