Governor Conway's Message.

Governor CONWAY, in concluding his
Message, refers to the public-spirited ef-
forts of the Mississippi, Ouachita and Red
River Railroad Company He remarks,
in this connection, that, sswhen practical
business men devote their time, labor and
money to establish great works of internal
improvement like these, they evince pa
triotic public spirit which entities them
to encouragement in their laudable under
takings."
1t is to be hoped that the tribute thus
paid by His Excellency to the really ar
duous and selfsacri6cing labors of those
to whom he refers, although it does not
amount even to beneficial suggestion,
may not be without its weight upon the,
minds of the people of Arkansas, and
that it may moreover exert an influence
for good in behalf of the efforts which, in
the next Congress, will be made to secure
the passage of the bill for the aid of this
enterprise.
Governor CONWAY also suggests the
propriety of the appointment of State
| Geologist.
He regrets the absence of official In
formation which would enable him to form
correct opinion of the usefulness of the
existing laws relating to the Common
Schools He very properly invites the
attention of the Legislature to the sub
ject of education; and fully agreeing
with him that 'sit is highly desirable that
colleges and universities of learning should
be encouraged and education promoted a
far as possible we trust We shall be al
lowed to express the earnest hope that
some well-digested plan for the diffusion
of useful knowledge may be presented to
and adopted by the Legislature now il
session.
Taken as a whole, Governor CONWAY
message evinces at least laborious atten
ton to details and certain degree of ia
miliarity VI it'll the affairs of State W,
look in vain through it, however, fo
those enlarged, comprehensive and states
man-like views which should characteriz
so important document as the one be
fore us. Honesty of purpose and dis
position to "do the State some SERVICE
however, seem to be accorded to His Ex
cellency, and we hope that the suggestion
which he does make, although not so prac
tical and as much to the point as could b.
desired, may result in good.
The Legislature, from what we gathe
from the reports of their proceedings
seem determined to work in earnest. w,
hope that all differences of opinion which
may exist will give way to the pressing de
mands which the State has upon Gber
al exercise of all the patriotism and intel
igence which are now assembled at the
Capital

The following bill was framed to pro-
vide for the donation of the lands lying
along the line of the Cairo and Fulton
Railroad to that Company, with no fur
ther restrictions than were imposed upon

" Making Night Hideous with Discord-
ant Yellsr

There is a certain class of the genus
homo, whom one would judge, from their
actions, to be impressed with the idea that
nobody was ever gifted with the sense of
hearing; that there are not upon earth
any srch organs as ''ears polite;' that
propriety is myth, decency fable, So
briefly all fudge, and that the chief glo-
ry of man consists in getting high and
tearing around generally and breaking
things.
'-All the worlds stage"
and the scenes have never been shifted
without revealing some of these supernu-
meraries, for they are nothing more, in the
great drama of life, waiting anxiously to
play their parts, sometimes to the anuse-
ment. but far oftener to the disgust, of
the lookers-on.
Humanity was made for nobler uses
than to be smeared and besmirched with
such base shows. The regulations ofsociety
demand more respectful attention to its
requirements than the fast men of the pre-
sent day and time seem disposed to rem
der. The sense of propriety which prompts
gentlemen to treat woman deferentially in
the social circle, should influence them to
abstain from the use of such expressions
in any other sphere as will reach her ears
through the easily traversed medium of
street or the walls of a house. The
feeling which would lead man to resent
with blow, an indignity offered to the
wife, the mother or the sister, ought to
restrain that man when he becomes aware
that he is about to insult the purity of all
the ladies of town by the boisterous ut
terance of blackguardisms which are out
of place every where and at all times; of
filthy obscenities, which are sometimes
carried by the winds to shocked and NOR
titled and unwilling ears
1t is the acme of folly to suppose that
the indulgence of the beastly instincts
which lead men to make such exhibitions
OF themselves, enhances either the private
or public reputation of the individual who
wrongs, or the community which is wrong
ed, by such outrages-at least in any desi-
rable respect And we hope and trust
that the day is by no means distant when
In our town, there will be no necessity for
referring in any manner to drunkenness,
rioting and debauchery, or their train of
attendant evils, In any manner, save to
compare our happy exemption from them,
with other less favored parts of our coun-
try.
