A correspondent of the North
Albanian, writing from Point Re-
move, Conway Co., Ark, under date
of the 18th ult., says:
The best crop that I've heard Of
>tbis season was crop Of Rattle
Snakes, not as far off as | would like
they shonld be. Two of my ac-
quaintanees killed, in three days,
two hundred and fifty rattle snakes.
One of them now wears a vest, made
from the skins of several Of them.
This is true snake story.

Col, Picket's object is to avoid a

shrewd but, we submit if it is not
very ungratefuI that Mr.. Bell should
be thus assaiIed in his own house, BY
a man who is at the same time mount

goods are direct from the eastern cities. making
his stock complete, and one of the largest
ever offered by him to the trade. In fact it Is
his misfortune (but decidedly 70 the advantage
of buyers) always to have too many goods on
hand, thereby compelling him to sell at very
small profits. Suffice it to say that without
enumerating the different articles, viii be
found at his store, all of the goods usually kept
in a retail house. The undersigned has always
believed that long advertisements was fall

greatest blow; therefore he will rely on the
good sense Of the people 70 examine $ stock
before buying elsewhere. There has gotten
up an erroneous idea that merchants ditlike to
show their goods, fer one can say il is
pleasure for me to show them. relying on their
good Judgment and taste to insure me a sale.
My motto is as heretofore. quick sales and

Coz. Wil'arl has issued his bull against
til, Republicans charging them with disre-
garling tn. Constitution, their solemn
oaths, and the honor OF the State, as we'll
as cruelty toward tn, Deaf and Dumb. the
Blind and the Insane. He admits that an
emergency exists for called session. but
refuses to do so unless the Republican
members of the Senate first give him ASST
RANGES that they will pass the necessary
measures to keep the wheels of government
in motion, before taking up the Miller and
Shryo,k case.
Tne Republicans have offered every thing
that ought to be asked, and they should
not yield another inch. They did not
bring about the present unfortunate state
Of things, and having no control Of the
government have no chance to remedy it.
To relieve the Governor, howeyer, Mr..
Shryock steps forward and proposes to re-
fer the matter to the people.
Will Willard AMI his party accept tins
proposition? If they think they can make
political capital by refusing, they will not.
We will see now, however, who are the
patriots and philanthropists, and who are
mere partizans. M -

CORPORATION Election.

The Corporation election in this place
on Monday last resulted in favor of the De-
mocracy. by majority ranging from So
to 10 on the different candidates.
This result twas Effected not by the votes of
majority of the permanent citizens of the
Place-not 10y majority Of those who are
interested in the growth and prosperity Of
the town-but by the aid ofmen who are
here only temporarily. who care for
little else than free whiskey, and who. it is
believed do not, or at least never have paid
one farthing's corporation tax, nor can be
found at all when the streets OF roads are
to be worked.
This is beautiful state of affairs
What is the use of the citizens of the town
taking the trouble of going to the polls?-
Why not let the Irish say who shall rule
us? as they in fact do. Are we no; ruled
in fact by Ireland?
The Democracy may feel proud now of
the victories they achieve BY such means
as this. but the day will come when the
frozen viper they have warmed into life
will sting them to death. Demago5ues
will sooner or later receive their just de-
serts. So mote it be.

Eg The Chicago Tribune of the 4th

to the letter of its Kansas correspondent,
says:
He pointedly contradicfs the statement
in the New York Times, telegraphcd over
the country, that the Free State men had
concluded TO risk a vote under the swind-
ling registry law. If Secretary Stanton
undertakes TO enforce his programme of
policy lie will have a sweet time Of it.
The Free State men are 10000 stronger
than they were this time last year and will
lye able when no ;tilitics aga n break out
not only to make successful resistance
against the usurpcrs. but to achip them out
Of tie Territory, and leave no vcstige of

The Respousib,lity ss,tled.

Says the South Bend Register of the soil
ult., Gov Willard has issued Pronuncia
mento to the People of Indiana, dated OF
tie 23dinst., for not calling an extra ses
sion, which are the old sterotyped declara
tons that he fault was with the Republl
cans, that he has no assurance business will
be done, &c. s-
But on tie yery doy that Gov Willard
was making his defence that he would no
call an extra session. for lack of assurance
that any thing would be done, on account
of the Senatorial contest pending. we were
publishing in last weeks Register the mag
unanimous proffer of Mr. Shryock to enc
this whole difficulty by both contestants
resigning, and appealing the whole matter
to the people of the district for settlement
Thus the stumbling block (of pretcase,
would be ont of the way of the Senate
An extra session could quickly transact Its
business, for there would be no more pre-
texts for Democratic threats that the wheel:
of Legislation should be stopped, rather
than the body Of which they were members
should be allowed to decide who were en-
titlel toits Senatorial seats. The Asylums
would be reopcncd and the parties called
back. The interest on the State Debt
would be provided for. And the whole
trouble would be a. an end.
This offer was made to Mr.. Miller by Mr.
Shryock last Saturday ,ceek, twelve days
ago), but up to this date, we have heard Of
no reply.
Mr.. Shryock has now made still another
prefer, which is certainly too magnani-
nous; but which he justifies by his strong
desire to aid the Benevolent Institutions o.
the State, and his determination to remove
every pretcxt that his contest blocks the
way against an extra session. He has
prolfered to Mr.. NJ that, If an extra session
be called, neither shall claim the seat, and
shall each advise their friends to take nc
action on it st present. This also remains
unanswered! Even the wayiaring man
cannot err in discerning where the respor

now fixed, and which one of the rival par
