The Kentucky Elections.

The elections which have just takcr
place In Kentucky, were not political
and afford no test of the political com
plexion of the State. And vet the tele-
graph has announced that the Democrats
have carried the State but, as is well
known, the telegraph at Louisville is in
the hands of unscrupulous Sag -Nichts,
who desire to influence those who have TO
principle except to be on the strong side,
by claiming a Democratic victory in a
State which is well known to be .Amer-
can by Il majority of over 1900.
We say TO our friends, therefore, to be-
lIeve no reports of Democratic gains" or
Democratic victories" that may be sent
By telegraph. We Will publish tie true
results from all quarters when they come
to us In a reliable form. Remember one
thing, however, that the late elections in
Kentucky were merely municipal and jul
drcial, and, as general rule, politics were
not known in them.

Hon. W. II. Sutton.

We learn from the Gazette d. Democrat
OF the 10th inst, that Judge SUTTON
met General Hampstead in debate at
Little Rock on Saturday, the 9th instant.
A complete vic tory over his opponent is
claimed by the friends of Judge Sutton.
So well pleased were the Americans with
his effort that he was requested by the
FILLMORE Club to address the citizens of
Pulaski on Monday night, the 11th inst,
which request he complied with. We
subjOin the conclusion of the Gazette's re-
port of it.
'ln conclusion, Judge Sutton alluded to
the recent defeat of Americanism in Ar
kansas, and congratulated the American
party that it had come out of this, as it is
to be hoped it will come out of all other
contests, with its fair name untarnished.
He showed that the election of Governor
Conway was victory without laurels-
that 1t had been gained, not by fair an d
open contest, but by means of deceit. mis-
representation and lies-that to attain his
end, Gov Conway had not only misrepre-
sented the living, but slandered the dead
that Gov. Conway, showing a greater
sense of shame and remorse than he had
given him credit for possessing; he had for
weeks, before, and even since the election.
housed himself up, and not permitted
Gods sun, nor the eye of honest men. to
see him in the light of day-that victo-
ry gained as Was this over the American
party, would be a curse instead of bles-
sing to its authors. Taken altogether,
Judge Sutton's notice of Gov. Conway
was the most scathing and whitening we
ever heard from the lips of man. Its truth
was felt and appreciated by all who heard
lt-becanse all knew and felt it to be
true.
"The Judge concluded amid shouts of
applause, ond all who heard him, hope to
hear him again between now and the Pres
idential election

The Washington Post Office.

The inefficiency and incompleteness of
the mail arrangements In Arkansas is the
subject of such continual complaint, that it
is more as matter of form, than in the
hope that our suggestions will be needed,
that we refer to the particular grievance of
which We are about to complain.
First, we present statement Of facts.
There are four tri-weekly lines of stages
centering at this point at present. The
Shreveport, Louisiana, the Clarksville, Tex
as, the Little Rock route, and the Gaines
Landing route. Under the present ar
rangement all of these coaches arrive and
depart on the same day. There are two,
horse mails, leaving and arriving twice
each week, and two horse mails leaving and
arriving once each week The Eastern
coach via Little Rock, frequently brings
from twelve to fourteen sacks of mail mat
ter, which has to be overhauled, separated
and repacked. The labor attached to this
process is onerous; and without volunteer
assistance, the Post Master would fire.
quentIy be altogether unable to prepare his
mails in time for delivery. As it is, he is
compelled to remain up, almost every mail
night until II OF / o'clock, A. NJ, in or
der to perform his duty properly. This
Office furnishes nearly all its mail mat
ter to a large portion of north Louis
lana. Almost the whole of the mail mat
ter for North East and North West Texas
is passed through this office, and large
portion Of the southern portion of this State
is dependant upon this Office for a proper
separation of its supplies. These are facts
which we have from our worthy p NJ,
Bob Phillips, who, wishes us to present the
case to our delegation in Congress, for
their consideration.
Now in return for all of the labor at
tached to this office, the perquisites amoun-
ting to some three hundred and fifty dol
lars at the most, is all the F. NJ receives.
Out OF this amount is to come house rent
for it requires large commodious room
for this Post Office fire wood, lights and
all the etceteras, which leaves a mere beg
carly pittance not worth mentioning, rs a
compensation for labor which we venture
to say, no competent man would undertake
to perform for any individual, for less than
thousand or twelve hundred dollars year.
| But Uncle Sam is a hard master to some
of his servants, while some he clothes in
purple and fine linen. The case before us,
should, We respectfully suggest, be taken
in hand at once, and provisions made for
the relief Of our worthy friend Squire
Phillips And we will take occasion soon
to call further attention to the subject,
and point cut the provisions of some of the
public acts, which if carried out would be
of benefit to the L. NJ, aud the commu-
nifty.

Bas- Gen. VIM. L. HASKELL addressed
the citizens of Memphis, Tennessee, on
Thursday night, the 7th instant We
find brief reference to his speech in the
Memphis Morning Bulletin, of the Sth
instant. 1t is characterized as an extra
ordinarily able and eloquent effort We
commend the following paragraph from
the Bulletins report of his speech, to our
readers
'sThere was one salient feature, howev
er, in giving which, we cannot GO amiss.
1t was the frankly avowed nearer approxi-
nation to an identity with the position of
the American Party, on the subject of
naturalization based, as stated upon the
discovery of the stampede of foreigners.
particularly Germans, into the Fremont
ranks. The other portions of the speech
were based upon this general idea-that
the existing troubles in the country, and
the present crisis in public affairs, were
the Legitimate consequences of Democrat
ic doctrines, and necessary results of Dem
Ocratic rule. Much of it, during the time
our necessary vocations allowed US to re-
main, had the ring of the old metal when
the whig and democratic parties crossed
sabers on many a hard-fought field, and
showed, by the hearty and cordial applause
which 1t elected, that the ''fre of the
flint still slumbers, and may be made to
shine as brightly as ever when struck out
by the hand of genius"
The conviction which impelled General
Haskell to take this stand, will force hun
dreds of thousands of the true men of
the South into the ranks of the Ameri-
can Party, Mark our prediction
