A LIMB OF THE LAW INA Coon STREAE

A LIMB OF THE LAW IN A Coop STREAK
 It will be remembered that, some time in the latter part of last summer, a certain gentlnman took into his head that he would thrash the old lady-his better half-and perhaps not without some cause, too, if there is possibly such thing as cause for such an act: but; be that as it may he did it, and then sloped for parts unknown. The old woman immediately applied for di- vorce, and obtained one so quick, at the last term of our Circuit court, that it would have made your head swim. The gentleman came back soon after courted the old lady, got her in the notion, and was plunged heels over head into the blessed state again, before you could say "Jim Robinson" All of the above occur red within the course of three months-Savan- nab Sentinel

MURDER.-At an inquest held by the Coroner of Pulaski county, in Gray township, on the 29th Dec, on the body of Nerr Browning, it was found by the Jury that the deceased came to his death by shot from a rifle, discharged at him by one Jesse Stain, the ball entering the left breast and passing directly through him, ranging little downward and coming out to the right of the back bone Said to be a very outrageous murder. Stain has not been ar rested

AN ERROR CoRREcTED.-The rumor in cir culation that we are about to retire from the editorial chair of the True Democrat is untound- ed. We entertain no such thought, but, on the contrary, were never more determined to con- tinue in the profession.
 To our friends who have questioned us upon this point we can give the assurance that our labors will not be discontinued or relaxed in the cause we have un ,lertaken. With more than three years of experience as an editor, we think we can safely promise to the readers of the True Democrat, an excellent weekly papcr.- Indeed it is our object and we are laboring for it, to present before great while, sheet much enlarged, if not semi-weekly paper. Our subscription list and our patronage would al most justify such step now.
 Had we not met with the misfortune we did, in the fire of February last, we would long since have commenced the issue of semi-weeklv paper. We have not yet, however. abandoned the hope of being able before great while to do so. The wants of the Arkansas public de- mand such an enterprise, and from the liberal and warm support we have already received, we are encouraged in the belief that we shall be sustained in 1t.

ROSWELL BEEBE EsQ,
 President Cairo and Fulton Railroad
 DEAR SRI have the pleasure to inform you that the surveys of the Cairo and Fulton railroad in Missouri were completed on the 18th inst, that the parties returned to this place yes terday, and are now engaged in the office work of maps and computations relating to the sur veys-that the results of these surveys, as vet not fully developed, still give proof that the route from the Missouri and Arkansas boundary to the Mississippi river opposite Cairo, is very direct, (the distance by air line being 72 miles and by the line of survey 72. 8 miles) that we overcome our great obstacle Crowlcy'S ridge, by grades of about 40 feet per mile, that the line passes above all the difficult parts of the dis trict, that we no where encounter any sunk swamp or overtlowed lands that are in the slight est degree obstacles to the construction oi good and cheap first class railroad.
 1 trust this information will be cheering to the friends of your great national enterprise, the Cairo and Fulton railroad.
 Very respectfully your obt serv't

WHEREAS, The constitution of the United States confers on Congress the power to estab- fish an uniform rule of naturalization: Aad a0hereas, Fore igners who have been naturallz- ed according to law have been thereby vested with all the rights of American citizenship eX cept as to holding the offices of President and e-President: And aohereas The constitution outside of the restrictions therein contained in- tends that the only test as between candidates for office shall be political soundness and per sonal merit and qualification, without regard to nativity or religion Therefore
 1st. Be it resolved by tue General Assembly of tue State of Arkansas, That any and all attempts to prescribe any class of citizens, or to exclude them from office to which they are eligible, be- cause of place of birth or religious belief, as un- constitutional in substance and in essence; are subversive of the established land marks of ci- vii and religious liberty, and should be con- demned and sternly resisted by every true pa- triot.
 2d. Resolued, That the formation or existence of secret society, meeting clandestnely, with the view to accomplish political result, and with the intent to deprive American citizens, whe- ther native or foreign born, of that equality of rights guaranteed by the constitution, is in- expedient and dangerous, is opposed to the genius of our free institutions and tends di- rectly and certainly to their overthrow.
 30. Resozved, That the foregoing objections to secret and anti-republican order above refer red to are of still greater weight with southern men, by reason of the hostility of its authors and northern members to the institution of sla- very and their known and avowed alliance with the abolitonst and freesolers of the northern States; and the establishment of said order or of associations subordinate thereto in any State of the south, is beyond measure unwse and reprehensble, involving either treason to south ern rights, or an incredible degree of ignorance of the antecedants of men and parties opposed to those rights.
